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

I'm starting to think that maybe I would have preferred if the game was one-purchase, no micro transactions. Seeing all of the weapons which pretty much turn classes in to hilarious things (Thumper, now the jackal etc) and after seeing them making the spinfusor, the trademarkweapon of tribes, pay to get, I'm scared. The jackal is pretty much a straight upgrade over the rhino SMG, as is the stealth spinfusor, and without spending even more money (I've already spent £40 on gold) I'll probably never get it again. I feel sorry for those who aren't dumping money in to the game, it must be an exceptionally slow grind. Even my best games would pay out 500-1k xp (if I didn't have boosters and vip,) so that works out being a pretty large sum of matches, assuming they all go well. Here's hoping that they make things not Pay2Use in the future. Arguably paytowin, considering the sheer amount of time it takes to obtain the weapons for normal members. (Still, I bought the jackal. This thing feels OP as fuck, worse than what thumper tech felt like before I switched back to the SMG. I don't even have to predict, I can just throw my shit ahead of people goig fast and instant det them. And in CQB, I can just instant det my things when they're close.)

Ok, throwing knives are a beautiful weapon, worth it and then some. Also, played a game with TotalBiscuit earlier, he is one hell of a pathfinder. [editline]27th March 2012[/editline] Also, jackal on flag stand, [i]deadly[/i].

Still would prefer if they gave it to tech instead and gave thumper to someone else.

Played with him for a few games, then the internet freaked out and I lost the server he was playing on :(

enemies players can destroy jackal projectiles?

All AOE weapons can blow the jackal projectiles.

Jackal is sexy, throwing knives are sexy and the smoke grenades compliment the jackal nicely.

[QUOTE=Rolond Returns;35317609]Have you tried it? It fits the infiltrator brilliantly.[/QUOTE] Unfortunately no, but I haven't unlocked Inf yet so obviously a busy and or poor fellow like me would prefer if it was for a class I already have.

This one guy wanted to try out his new throwing knives and Jackal against me in a 1v1 fight when he started throwing knives at me all of a sudden. I ended up killing twice while he barely hit me ( I was a soldier)

Has anyone had any success in forcing AA on in nvidia control panel for this game? I've tried and it makes no visual difference.

They really buffed the INF. Now he can even sneak into wallets.

ooh, they're making adverts on websites now [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/r8kn4.png[/thumb]

Isn't 41 throwing knives too much to have?

[QUOTE=LiquidBullet;35319280]Isn't 41 throwing knives too much to have?[/QUOTE] They're a projectile based weapon that does 350 damage, so no, not really.

Where does tribes store screenshots?

Would be nice if you could pay for things with a combination of gold and exp at least once. Spare gold is annoying, reminds me of microsoft points.

they should give away gold more often my wallet cant handle all this

Bought the weapon pack bundle. I love the Jackal and Knives but the Smokes seem kind of useless compared to the Sticky's. Why must you steal my money Hi-rez?

Can't wait for the madness that will surround the pathfinder update.

[QUOTE=skynrdfan3;35313482]i wish people would try to pass the flag more. some cool shit can be done between 2 pathfinders that know what they're doing.[/QUOTE] I wish they made the flag physics better, and made the regrab delay less so it was practical.

Several new CaH maps are in the game files now. My guess is next patch will be the Capture and Hold update.

I still see a shit ton of jaggies, but now it applied almost like a layer over the game that makes some things look odd. For example, the glow around the knives and Jackal grenades on the menu were brighter and bigger. Anything that had similarly properties had the same thing. Also noticed some artifacting in jetpack streams.
