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

[QUOTE=leonthefox;35465975] How do you do this? just drive around normal, and then jump out of the vehicle?[/QUOTE] I asked during a game how to get out of a vehicle and people said "k". So I tried that, and it turns out that you still suicide regardless of the fact that you're in a shrike. Also I just got to 42k xp, should I get the thrust for the pathfinder? I mostly play pth (I like chasing) and I don't have the bolt launcher unlocked yet (although Idk if I want it).

I also don't really notice a significant change in my playstyle when actually using it either. Then again I'm probably just using it wrong altogether

[QUOTE=leonthefox;35465975] How do you do this? just drive around normal, and then jump out of the vehicle?[/QUOTE] aim shrike directly at enemy flag drive towards it with the force of a thousand suns fire all your missiles so as to clear out any potential sandrakers leave vehicle optional: shoot spinfusor at feet for maximum fast gz you have the flag and are cruising at 5billion sanics

5,22 € more away from VIP. I'm getting there!

Doombringers should have "No fun allowed" sign as their class logo, I swear.

[QUOTE=Aedus;35466867]Every game needs a w+m1 class[/QUOTE] I think he's talking about the sabre launcher, it'll basically keep everyone from staying in the air for more than 2 seconds and discourages the use of vehicles

God, I wish the Beowulf tank had a shield like it did in Tribes 2 or at least some form of health regen as you take 2 hits from anyone and your down to around 1/2 health. Every explosive weapon has an upgrade that makes it gain extra damage against vehicles which makes the tank basically obsolete against anyone who has played for any longer than a hour.

Are the downloaded files written in some sort of ancient language? Decompressing takes fucking ages...

Man, sometimes I get these lag spikes which cause me to warp and spaz around on the map, and when it happens when I have the flag I get accused of hacking :c

[QUOTE=Raizo;35467471]Man, sometimes I get these lag spikes which cause me to warp and spaz around on the map, and when it happens when I have the flag I get accused of hacking :c[/QUOTE] Reminds me of the guy who got a lagspike in a Beowulf and ended up in the sandraker's gen room in Arx.

[QUOTE=Ripper Roo;35467551]Beowulf is far too easy to destroy for a tank, it should be either cheaper or stronger IMO.[/QUOTE] and it also can destroy entire teams in the right hands making it stronger or cheaper just means easier time dominating the enemy team

[QUOTE=Chirno;35467698]and it also can destroy entire teams in the right hands making it stronger or cheaper just means easier time dominating the enemy team[/QUOTE] If a team is stupid enough to let a beowulf live they deserve it.

Each give 25% dmg reductions, which is better then straight HP when your a Tech for repairing. .75*.75=.5625. A Mortar that hits which normally does like 3200 dmg only does 1800dmg, 1300dmg bolt launcher does 731 dmg. Its awesome, multicrew perk is amazing.

Just figured how Demoman badge gets you 750 exp, that's some easy money.

A beowulf should never be used to push a frontline. I always use it as a long range sniper, picking off the defences at the flag, or even killing flag carriers.

playing defensively with beowulf can give you the credit back pretty fast so you can suicide mission yourself in to the enemy base and buy one back as soon as you respawn again [editline]7th April 2012[/editline] [img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3344508/201204%20april/abcdfgh.jpg[/img_thumb] also this happened to me, when i alt tabbed my hud messed up, look at the flag icons at the top

I fucking LOVE the Beowulf, its cannon projectile is really fast so you can actually pick off cappers with it if you're good enough. Also many years of Battlefield has taught me to ALWAYS KEEP A TANK MOVING. Stationary tank = six people behind you fucking your shit.

Played pathfinder on Crossfire. [img]http://snag.gy/u5gTy.jpg[/img] When I had the flag I went so slow they only hit me once. :v:

[QUOTE=Desuh;35469667]I hate you.[/QUOTE] Didn't even have the tripmines either :3

[QUOTE=iLife_Aftermath;35469197]get murdered[/QUOTE] Well, they were "accidental". Most of the time I get high speed grabs when I get the hang of it. I guess I was (un)lucky this match.

[QUOTE=croguy;35469744]Well, they were "accidental". Most of the time I get high speed grabs when I get the hang of it. I guess I was (un)lucky this match.[/QUOTE] Nobody likes llama grabs. Nobody. Unless the enemy team is about to cap and nobody else is about to grab their flag.

[QUOTE=Tukimoshi;35469935]Nobody likes llama grabs. Nobody. Unless the enemy team is about to cap and nobody else is about to grab their flag.[/QUOTE] I only llama grab in combination with E-grabs as an infiltrator. It's hilarious.

The best part is that their team pretty much had no defense or were distracted by other players. It seemed like a better idea to me to just take the flag then jump off, speed away and dodge light classes than let the flag be taken by somebody else or end up letting the enemy set up a defense while I gather up speed for a quick grab.
