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

Thank you. Sorry if I'm asking obvious questions but I'm still pretty new to the game and I'd hate to buy something that I will regret later.

The Jackal is amazing, definitely not regretting that use of 100,000 xp.

[QUOTE=Bumrang;35337529]The Jackal is amazing, definitely not regretting that use of 100,000 xp.[/QUOTE] And then it gets nerfed.

I really can't believe just how good the Jackal is. I went a game with 4 double kills, 1 triple, 5 air mails, 2 bike downs, 2 tank downs, 2 kill joys, 3 flag caps, 27 kills, a whole bunch of building destructions. I was gonna take a screenshot but it would have taken 3 or 4 screenshots just to see all my medals. This was on Arx too and I wasn't even attacking the gen or techs huddled around the gen. It's an INSANE weapon. [editline]29th March 2012[/editline] They just nerfed it lol Damaged caused by early in-air detonation of Infiltrator's Jackal rounds reduced by 50%. Knockback from in-air detonation also decreased by 50%. Oh, but wait Damage against armored targets with Infiltrator's Jackal rounds increased 20% (Fixed an issue where full damage was not being applied).

Hell, imagine if the Mortar was remote detonation before impact. It would be amazing. Its like a shock combo from UT. Its like back in TF2 on randomizer servers. Spies with sticky launchers, so much awesome.

Increased Juggernaut's SpinfusorD projectile velocity by roughly 5%. Increased Soldier's Spinfusor projectile velocity by roughly 3%. Increased Brute's Heavy Spinfusor projectile velocity by roughly 8%. Brute's Light Sticky Grenade damage against Generators increased 125%, better matches the Infiltrator's Sticky Grenades. Fixed an issue where Soldier's AP Grenade did too much damage against Shrikes (reduced by 75%). Damage increased on Brute's Nova Colt by roughly 5%. Time for inactive reload reduced from 6s to 5s. Increased the distance from the flag the Rage Perk will activate by 50%. Damaged caused by early in-air detonation of Infiltrator's Jackal rounds reduced by 50%. Knockback from in-air detonation also decreased by 50%. Damage against armored targets with Infiltrator's Jackal rounds increased 20% (Fixed an issue where full damage was not being applied). Fixed an issue where the sticky explosives from the Infiltrator's Jackal could not be destroyed with bullet based weapons. A variety of backend changes preparing for the introduction of future functionality.[/quote]

[QUOTE=Aedus;35338141]Nerfed already, what a surprise :v: I didn't get a patch though?[/QUOTE] Probably just downloaded in a few seconds since it is a straight forward patch.

Imagine if the Jug got a mortar that you could remotely detonate :v:

Well Hi Rez's employees are awesome. From their forums.... [quote]Dear Hi-Rez, It's me... Your ninth class, The brute... ...Times have been hard on the feild, No, Scratch that, Miserable. Every day, my team calls me fat, lazy, and useless.... I'm not. I swear i'm not... Lazy, that is, See, I try so hard to be an asset to my team, I really do. But I can't do that. I'm useless! I can't do anything! My spinfusor's reload time, It's... It's too much.... My auto-shotgun doesn't even fire fast enough, and nothing in my arsenal is of use exept my fractals. To pour salt in my wounds, you gave my latest idea away, and sold it to the soldier. THE SOLDIER! Why would you do this, Hi-Rez? I came up with that. I designed it for myself! But, no. NO! You spit in my face. Why do you hate me, Hi-Rez? Why must you make me suffer? Please, Have mercy... ...Kill me. -Brute #6177 of the First Talon Third Pennant [/quote] The response [quote='HiRezScott']Dear #6177, Marshal Gast, standing in for The Great Eagle, has heard your cries, and reminds you that mercy should not be asked for, nor granted among his ranks. That said, it might interest you to know that command has moved the priority on your new equipment requisition over that of Technician #3452's request. As R&D takes time on such things, I unfortunately cannot tell you in confidence when that equipment might arrive. However, expect improved nova ammo, shield improvements, and higher velocity disks for your current loadout in the coming weeks, in advance of our major offensive. Reviewing your combat logs, command is generally impressed with your dedication to the Heavy combat platforms, though there are a few notable exceptions and irregularities, of which I'm sure you are aware. - Staff Tech Officer #5, for Marshal Gast [/quote] [url=http://forum.hirezstudios.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=313&t=64693&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=20]Source[/url] The Hi-Rez people have been doing a lot of responding on the forums as of late.

[url]https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Auasa0boe0nldFNuMHNlbXU2TkVrRXN2T0ZsbmxnaUE#gid=0[/url] Almost everything has been added now. I just need to get pictures of some that have models, and add line numbers and such.

Is the spinfusor for the soldier better than the assault rifle?

So does the light spinfusor do more knockback now? Should I use that over the bolt launcher for my maxed-out Pathfinder?

[QUOTE=lapsus_;35332187]the new skins are hideous I can't stand them[/QUOTE] The helmet on the Mercenary skin is pretty badass. I wish I could have just the helmet and for a more useful class. And holy shit is Doombringer awesome on Sunstar. You can pretty much put your flag in a forcefield box.

I can't wait for the next patch. I just had a match where I was playing tech with the smg and I kept having to use my precious grenades to get past jackal explosives to the gen room.

I've asked it before, and it hasn't been answered. How do you change the ingame music? I need to put my going fast music in, damn it.

fucking i have the flag and i'm doing 200 and our flag is never at our base and fuck enemy pathfinders

[QUOTE=Rolond Returns;35341264]fucking i have the flag and i'm doing 200 and our flag is never at our base and fuck enemy pathfinders[/QUOTE] Everyone's been there.

and when they finally get your flag back, BANG! sentinel or infiltrato out of nowhere

speaking of sentinel how are you supposed to use it i shoot someone and it does like 300-500 damage do i have to upgrade the rifle before sentinel actually starts to get good or what D:

[QUOTE=AzureAngelic;35342754]speaking of sentinel how are you supposed to use it i shoot someone and it does like 300-500 damage do i have to upgrade the rifle before sentinel actually starts to get good or what D:[/QUOTE] The sentinel has the only hit scan weapon in the game with any range on it. That being said, you're not the typical sniper as in most games, you still have to remain mobile, pausing only to line up a shot and deal 500 damage. It's great for taking out flag runners.

[QUOTE=The very best;35342761](Shoot them again)[/QUOTE] Damage decreases from 500 to 300 at extreme range, get closer.

I just bought Infiltrator with xp, game I joined was full of thumpernicans and I died like a thousand times. Great first impression :v: I'm running out of cloak all the time, he's harder to play than I expected.

[QUOTE=Spearman;35343197]Yeah, that's why he added "with any range on it"[/QUOTE] u can snipe flag carrier on low health with pistols.

You need to keep the sensor down so you don't get spotted. If there are lots of thumpnicians, just kill other people. The infilitrator is just good at killing stuff in general. Sticky nades have HUGE radius, so don't go for the stick all the time. Farther away it has no sound.
