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

I just got this. Holy fuck this is fun.

Funion, what are you doing.

[QUOTE=The golden;34581413]The Heavy Spinfuser is balanced weapon for the class. The Disco Grenades are not. Fractal's can clear an entire gen-room full of dudes, destroy all deployables in it, and then blow up the level-4 generator. [editline]7th February 2012[/editline] I agree, it's a bit of a tough issue. Here is my current stance on the Tech: - The Big-Tumper needs to go. Get rid of it. Holy shit why does a defensive class have one of the best offensive weapons in the game. - The Light Turrets are not useful enough. They are as brittle as glass and do no damage so a single person can wipe an entire room of turrets without much trouble. The only way they can get kills is by killing dudes before they get their atttention. - The SMG (currently) is useless. It does so little damage that combined with the weak turrets the tech really has nothing going for it. (Besides the repair tool and thumper)[/QUOTE] I agree. Its sad that the 2 choices are underpowered or overpowered. [editline]6th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=dill6869;34581534] -Light turrets are fine as is[/QUOTE] I disagree. I think they could use more health. Its not like they do very much damage. Most of the time I don't even get assists with turrets because people are only in it for a second before destroying it.

what's the name of that map with the aqueduct-like thingies ski battles in them are awesome

I wish you were able to test out different weapons on training mode. I would like to know that the weapons i'm buying are for me.

ffffff i want to play this so badly but i have to fix my stupid hard drive

I just got chased all the way back from the enemy flag spawn to my generator by a juggernaut... I didn't even have the flag...

why don't people stop chasing and let me be a happy man

Earlier I was playing as tech, I put 2 turrets down and was defending the generator and repairing the base and all that jazz. Then suddenly the entire enemy team started chasing me and I didn't know why, until I died. Apparently someone threw the flag at me, I picked it up and didn't even notice.

Is it just me or does the spinfusor disc change speed every time you fire it? sometimes i fire 5m infront of some brute walking around and they manage to walk an extra 5 or so meters before the spinfusor disc actually hits and they snap around and their spinfusor goes fucking fast like lightning and i get hit and instantly killed. Other times i fire around 2 meters infront of a flying pathfinder who is dropping down to ski and then bam blue plate special.

how long does it take to go from apply for beta to receiving beta key? i listed like 7 games in the past beta experience box when i applied but its been about 5 days with no response. i got the email saying that my application has been entered and is awaiting aprooval but nothing since then (i tried logging into the game already but it said my account doesn't have access) i just want to go fast...

So defending the generator might give you points but you guys have to admit that it isn't worth it. Having 3 plus guys in the generator room isn't really helpful to the team.

[QUOTE=Burgervich;34581734]Can I have some help? My curser just won't appear on my screen. I can't go any farther then the login screen![/QUOTE] [del]Same here. I managed to get to the agreement page using only keys but I couldn't do anything else.

I just got tribes and I'm downloading the patches right now. God I hope I don't have to ask for help with those fucking cursor errors and such, because everyone hates giving other people help on this thread.

man i like how diamond sword's armor looks way more than blood raven's

[QUOTE=The golden;34581221]I know this is going to sound very controversial, but I honestly think the nerfed Tech SMG is useless. Without the Big-Thumper, the Tech is very much defenseless. I currently feel the Big-Thumper is very cheap so I decided to go back to the SMG to try and be fair and I couldn't kill jack-shit with it. Now I never was a crackshot with the SMG but I was at least able to fend off the odd person who singled me out. Now it's a death-sentence for me. It's amazing the difference 10dmg makes.[/QUOTE] Oh i would beg to differ. I was playing as a tech in TDM the other day and was reaching the top of the scoreboard by only using the smg + turrets. you can usually weaken an enemy player down with half a magazine if you get enough shots into them, then finish them off with the turrets, and vice versa.

[QUOTE=BenJammin';34578984]I am getting mouse lag no matter what settings I am on, and it's just this game. How do I fix this?[/QUOTE] Anybody?

[QUOTE=BenJammin';34582734]Anybody?[/QUOTE] You sure you have vsync off?

How do I sign up for the beta? I click sign up and it takes me to the login screen and when I sign in it just takes me to My Account and then nothing happens? What do?

Does anyone else find they can just waltz in as a juggernaut, llama grab the flag and walk away? I actually managed to walk to their base on bella omega, take the conduit up to their flag, and take it, and walk halfway back before a pathfinder went after me. Of course i could only do this if their generator was down.

[QUOTE=JoeyZ;34563973]So I can't install the game Every time I run the installer it crashes[/QUOTE] Will no one help me? It gets about halfway through and says 'dotnet installer has stopped working'

Never mind I figured it out

So I've finally unlocked the Heavy Bolt Launcher on my doombringer. It was a slow start and my god is it fuckin awkward to aim. Slow projectile+lots of drop means you have to aim very far ahead, but once you get the hang of it it does so much damage. I love it.

The TCN SMG is fine, just the Thumper is better in most situations, because "most situations" entails the cramped interiors of bases that techs tend to occupy. The SMG nerf was miniscule anyway.

Oh yay got my key, now to be completely horrible at this game

There is no way I'll be able to download 2 gigs any time soon with my internet connection, should I just give away my key?

I'm starting to hit my shots !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
