Is egocentric really worth it? 35% damage reduction doesn't seem like that much.

man i didn't realize how far back this series goes earthsiege games -> starsiege -> starsiege: tribes -> T2 -> T:V -> T:A

[QUOTE=snarglemuffin;35504474]Is egocentric really worth it? 35% damage reduction doesn't seem like that much.[/QUOTE] yes

[QUOTE=Chirno;35504512]yes[/QUOTE] it seems like potential energy would be better for me, since usually when I spawn I thrust then nitron once or twice, so I could regain some energy from that but I don't know

Egocentric is only worth it on pathfinders obsessed with self-nitronning for speed. For the 18k plus the extra required to get the full 35% you could save up and get something better.

I use default perks because I'm not made of money.

Is spinfusoring better? Because either I'm just bad at it (likely) or it doesn't seem like a very efficient way to get speed.

I use the spinfusor to boost when I have the flag, it has pretty much the same effect as a nitron or jump pack

If you have the boost pack, potential energy might be better as you can self-spinfusor after the boost to go even faster and get some energy back.

[QUOTE=Chirno;35504579]energy doesnt matter much unless you rely on the jump pack for all your speed, in which case you should stop using it as a crutch[/QUOTE] I disagree, jump pack is better in almost all circumstances then the energy pack. Its especially worth it now that I learned that even fully upgrades the energy recharge pack only makes it 18% faster. Being able to go from 0-140 in 2 seconds without a nitron is so good for light offense and means e-grabs are far more effective. Jump pack doesn't do crap at speeds over 140 for the energy it uses. The Jumper was a very fun class, he just sucked because he didn't have nitron grenades.

The energy pack is better for being able to maintain higher speeds. As a rule of thumb I chase with the jump pack and I cap with the energy.

thinking on unlocking raider jammer and get last upgrade of egocentric and later whiteout to screw infiltrators.. its a good idea? worth it? or save for juggerfat mirv?

[QUOTE=C4rnage;35504824]thinking on unlocking raider jammer and get last upgrade of egocentric and later whiteout to screw infiltrators.. its a good idea? worth it?[/QUOTE] Jammin Raiders is the worse nightmare for infiltrators and techs, but if the enemy dont repair they turrents and sensors is not that good. But makes you one of the flag disrupters in the game also, brute + jammin raider is the best combo for generator attack.

Anyone know how to extract content from TA? I need a copy of every single level's terrain.

It bothers me that the language spoken in South America servers is always portuguese, there's like 6 countries that speak spanish in S.America, but the servers are always filled with brazilians, this seriously annoys me. [editline]10th April 2012[/editline] I bet nobody cares about this but well whatever...

[QUOTE=C4rnage;35505881]the server is on brazil, so makes sense.[/QUOTE] It says S.America/Brazil but I bet their only server is located in brazil, which also annoys me, I get like 100-150 ping in br servers.

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;35504939]Anyone know how to extract content from TA? I need a copy of every single level's terrain.[/QUOTE] I don't believe there's any way to do that at the moment. You can extract models and sounds with umodel, but not the maps.

they even said they put this server to support the br community [quote]“The Tribes: Ascend Closed Beta has exceeded our expectations,” says Todd Harris, Hi-Rez Studios Chief Operating Officer. “Over 300,000 players participated in the Closed Beta and the game has improved greatly based on community feedback. We are now excited to launch Open Beta this Friday. We have expanded capacity in North America, Europe, and Australia and added new local servers to support growing communities in Brazil and Asia.”[/quote] from my experience on fps on south america, br servers are actualy the ones who most people get good pings

You guys think they will put the game on steam?

[QUOTE==DarkStar=;35506134]You guys think they will put the game on steam?[/QUOTE] Considering Global Agenda is on it, I'd say there's a good chance it'll be on Steam when it's not in Beta. Also, I didn't put to much effort into this picture, it's mainly just to show off something I've been working on, I believe coverop also posted a few gifs made with these: [t]http://filesmelt.com/dl/tribes_ascend_promo.jpg[/t]
