Tribes: Ascend v2: I went slow once and it was awful - Games

[QUOTE=Squeaken;35291512]From watching a video on youtube the colt is hit scan (Can anyone verify this?), accurate, and does 180 damage a hit. Basically looks like a buffed up Eagle pistol. If I had the EXP to spare I'd buy it for sure, but I want to get the Brutes shield first.[/QUOTE] Correct.

The game says i need more disk space, how much is needed?

why people hate boltlauncher pathfinders? [editline]25th March 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=radiomonster;35292265]The game says i need more disk space, how much is needed?[/QUOTE] 4gbs

[QUOTE=C4rnage;35292328]why people hate boltlauncher pathfinders?[/QUOTE] Because it's an upgrade more or less. The increased projectile speed and ability to one shot light classes certainly makes up for the drop, which is quite easy to get used to and sometimes comes in handy..

Also before i jump into this anything i should know about?

I still don't get it why the technician has a better automatic and explosive weapon than the soldier. I can defend the generator room alone solely due to how fast and damaging the smg is, while the soldier has a slow-firing automatic weapon with slightly lower damage and an explosive secondary that takes multiple [I]direct[/I] hits to dispatch a light class. Also technician should have no alternatives to the repair gun, only to the smg (the thumper should not be one of them)

[QUOTE=radiomonster;35292610]Also before i jump into this anything i should know about?[/QUOTE] you gotta go fast

[QUOTE=DeeCeeTeeBee;35287487]I think it's time for me to grab a perk or two, I've got 45k XP I've managed to get over the past few days (alas, I have no VIP/Boosters) Any suggestions? I usually stick to soldier or pathfinder. Doombringer every now and then when I feel like making rounds slow to a crumb.[/QUOTE] Wait for the patch

If you're losing to techs as a soldier you [b]suck[/b].

The increased projectile speed and ability to one shot light classes certainly makes up for the drop, which is quite easy to get used to and sometimes comes in handy..[/QUOTE] The bolt launcher is a straight upgrade as a combat weapon. However it sucks for boosting because it does more damage and has a smaller blast radius. This is all the more important now that self-inflicted nitrons make you drop the flag.

[QUOTE=Jackald;35293101]So what's the best way to get XP aside from buying boosters and shit?[/QUOTE] Make games last as long as possible. I usually get a little over 1k xp after a 20minute game (though I'm VIP)

[QUOTE=Jackald;35293101]So what's the best way to get XP aside from buying boosters and shit?[/QUOTE] farming badges

[QUOTE=Jackald;35293101]So what's the best way to get XP aside from buying boosters and shit?[/QUOTE] Get VIP.

Jackald, get VIP.

[QUOTE=Jackald;35293766] [b]OH MAN COMEDIC GOLD I TOTALLY WASN'T EXPECTING SOMEONE TO SAY THAT WHAT A CHAMP[/b][/QUOTE] buy a boost.

[QUOTE=Jackald;35293766][b]OH MAN COMEDIC GOLD I TOTALLY WASN'T EXPECTING SOMEONE TO SAY THAT WHAT A CHAMP[/b][/QUOTE] exp gain is pretty much set in stone based on the other ~31 morons in your match, so there isn't anything you can do about it except... oh wait, buy VIP.

[QUOTE=Jackald;35293766] [b]OH MAN COMEDIC GOLD I TOTALLY WASN'T EXPECTING SOMEONE TO SAY THAT WHAT A CHAMP[/b][/QUOTE] Enjoy not having any classes or weapons.

It helps to have played the game pre-customization patch

[QUOTE=little.sparrow;35294355]It helps to have played the game pre-customization patch[/QUOTE] Had 600,000xp after the pre-customization. Felt great.

I bought Technician, Brute, Sentinel, Bounty hunter, Egocentric, survivalist, the spinfusor and some upgrades with my post-patch XP

[QUOTE=Jackald;35294447]So wait, I just buy any item in the store to become VIP? That's it?[/QUOTE] Yes. Buy the cheapest gold pack, that way you can unlock perks or some weapons.

Yet again I will ask this: someone can buy you gold?

My big purchases were the whiteout grenades, jammer pack, stealth spinfusor, spinfusor, along with a number of perks, and upgrading classes.

First games since February, glad they added this persistent stat page to tell me how many games I lose as top 1 or 2 player :(.

I just kill myself just like this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96OGNP7IXhs&feature=related[/media] I never saw the tactical until one land in my side :v:

I have come to the conclusion that the best team is the one with the most engineers.

How the hell am I supposed to aim while in mid-air? Every single time I'm like, 50 feet above some fatass sitting on the ground, I aim directly at him, but the shot always lands like 15 feet away.

The faster you move the more momentum you give your shot. While moving you have to account for your speed when firing. Unlike when you are on the ground, there is a vertical component to it.

"My team lost because the other team has too many techs! We can't get the flag this is bullshit!" "My team lost because we have too many techs! They're useless!"
