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

I can't find any servers, I'm stuck in queue. Anyone else experiencing this?

Why the fuck did they listen to newbs for the jackal? It's not OP at fucking all, does it instagib an entire room like the mortar and mirv? No? Then why are they not getting nerfed while this is.

I figured they'd remove the ability to detonate in mid-air altogether.

[QUOTE=Crimor;35343764]HALVING its fucking damage midair isn't justified.[/QUOTE] Secondaries didn't really have much of a point until the nerf, throwing knives now have a reason to be used :v

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;35344050]Could you create spoof accounts and get 10?[/QUOTE] Not sure, they have to get to level 6 though.

I would love to go to Hi-Rez and help design a map with them... I'd even pay :(

God damn it I got around 4 of my friends to play via word of mouth.

where i get my url for referral?

So I miss the update. what is op and what is not now?

[QUOTE==DarkStar=;35344533]So I miss the update. what is op and what is not now?[/QUOTE] Jackal is not even worth using now, mortar mirv and disco grenades still take out entire rooms with one button press.

Edit: Seeing as I got winner ratings, I propably wasn't clear enough about it. I meant I invited 10 people to play before they added this :(

I play juggernaut pretty much all the time, and pathfinders/sentinels/brutes tend to beat me down quite often, due to their superior CQB weapons, and because hitting pathfinders with spinfusor disks whilst spraying my LMG is like swatting a fly. A fly that's shooting balls of death at you.

[QUOTE==DarkStar=;35344734]And the knifes and the smokes? Useless too?[/QUOTE] Knives are decent, I think I still prefer my pistol though, more testing is needed, the smoke bombs are good, but not worth taking over stickies. [editline]29th March 2012[/editline] Lol'd hard at the jackal being nerfed just before TB's video about the new items going up, he's buttmad too The only reason to take the jackal over the spinfusor was airshots, if you're gonna be shooting the ground anyway you might as well just use the spinfusor and hope for a blue plate.

Wait do Jackal grenades destroy other Jackal grenades? Like if I fired three stickies at a generator would one of them destroy the others?

It might not be as good as the spinfusor at what the spinfusor's good for, but it's got its own niche now. Stop whining about it not being blatantly OP.

If anyone's looking to join, you should go through my referral :) [url]https://account.hirezstudios.com/tribesascend/?referral=1236054[/url] If you do I will... love you for all time. Baby...

[editline]29th March 2012[/editline] If they want any success turning this into an esports title like the older tribes games, they need to stop listening to scrubs.

Got a headshot with the technician SMG. Didn't know it was possible but still awesome

The thumper isn't that OP, either that or I don't encounter them often.

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;35345595]The thumper isn't that OP, either that or I don't encounter them often.[/QUOTE] It can be annoying as infiltrator with them just randomly spamming it, but it's not as good as they make it out to be.

[QUOTE=Crimor;35345610]It can be annoying as infiltrator with them just randomly spamming it, but it's not as good as they make it out to be.[/QUOTE] I do not find it OP, I just find it to be SO much more useful then the SMG in close quarters (where you'd usually encounter a tech). It doesn't even take any skill, just aim in the vicinity of the enemy and BAM! Unless they're a heavy class, you're pretty much screwed after the first hit.

And the Jackal is exactly what F2P games should be - a different gameplay style, not a straight upgrade. Same with the heavy bolt launcher, which I'm loving to pieces.

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;35345702] Same with the heavy bolt launcher, which I'm loving to pieces.[/QUOTE] Tell me about it. It's on my list of possible purchases. Also, Stealth Spinfusor or Jackal?
