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

I hit 240 as path. Thrustpack down hill, nitron, then bolt jump, clear flag of explosives, and fly in hoping for the best. I got a 287 flag grab yesterday after a fusion mortar propelled me right out of their base. 7 second cap on Arx Novena where I flew over the middle aquaduct and landed just below our flag. Couldn't have set it up even better.

So when you Tribes: Ascend with you jetpack, you hold spacebar for Tribes: Descend, right? I think I'm getting the hand of this.

[QUOTE=Sharp_Shooter;34583757]With the amount of Technicians and Doombringers just camping their teams flag stand/generator, pretty much killed half the fun of being a flag capturer and chaser. The only fun left in that role is skiing because you either get your ass shot off by the turrets or you have to figure out some elaborate path to get past the all the force fields. Then by some off chance you manage to nab their flag, they all go into rabid dog after a bone mode and will follow you until you get 30 spinfusors rammed up your ass.[/QUOTE] Or, you know, work with your team.

[QUOTE=Squeaken;34585443]I think it kinda got broken by the class update, my guess is they'll patch it back in later.[/QUOTE] Hope so, I'd love to try each class before I pick which one i should buy next.

¿Are there melee weapons?

Servers go back on please please please. I'm already showing signs of rehab.

Are the servers down? [QUOTE=dehimos;34586095]¿Are there melee weapons?[/QUOTE] Yes.

[QUOTE=dehimos;34586095]¿Are there melee weapons?[/QUOTE] There are no actual melee weapons but you do have a rather powerful melee attack, of course it's pretty hard to melee whatever isn't a sniper because people are usually skiing all over the place if they're not camping

Sometimes i just check this thread hoping for new Tribes gifs, i cant get enough of them.

Wish granted. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52726455/GOTTA%20GO%20FAST/1327707205315.gif[/img]

[QUOTE=Maximo13;34585641]So when you Tribes: Ascend with you jetpack, you hold spacebar for Tribes: Descend, right? I think I'm getting the hand of this.[/QUOTE] No, there's really no reason not to hold space when skiing.

Jesus christ what. [sp]Look at 'Gone To Plaid'[/sp] [IMG_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/YIlut.jpg[/IMG_thumb]

[QUOTE=iSnubWaitWhat;34586320]Jesus christ what. [sp]Look at 'Gone To Plaid'[/sp] [/QUOTE] gotta go fast

Anyone else getting a bug in the main menu? i cant see my cursor/mouse? Any solutions, its driving me nuts, i cant even start playing.

Alright, played a tutorial and two matches yesterday, having no idea what I was doing. Most fun I've had in months. This game is a mixture of quake and all-scout TF2, but with jetpacks and more speed. Gotta go fast.

Light Turrets should have more health, but also have a chance to miss. I hate trying to grab the flag but then getting shot by a few light turrets with aimbot-like aiming. Even if I do escape, they only stop shooting after a second or two, so they also shoot me from 500 meters away.

Is it just me or did they increase the amount of spendable exp you get recently? seem to have got a shit ton last few matches.

Playing Green Hill Zone, Don't Stop Me Now, and some tracks from an old Gmod Parkour server on the background while playing. Gotta go fast.

[QUOTE=Foogooman;34585673]Or, you know, work with your team. [editline]7th February 2012[/editline] For picking off injured flag runners, yes. Everything else? No.[/QUOTE] The sniper is alot better than people give it credit. You can stay out of most of the flag camping heavy shit, and as long as you're staying in midfield, taking shots at passing cappers and tanking heavies, you're being pretty helpful as well. People underestimate the importance of aggressive tanking, as in engaging midfield heavies in a fight and thus distracting them for a minute and maybe even killing them. Sentinel would be a lot more useful if the maps were bigger though. [editline]7th February 2012[/editline] Iron is a good track to play to as well.

[QUOTE=Asgard;34586109]Servers go back on please please please. I'm already showing signs of rehab.[/QUOTE] You mean signs of withdrawal?

[QUOTE=Colliseemoe;34587461]You mean signs of withdrawal?[/QUOTE] No, he's literally turning into a rehab clinic, it's a rare symptom.

A message to all pathfinders, if you're going for a clean grab, please for the love of shazbot use your nitrons as a boost, 240 Sanics > 190 Sanics. Even at low levels/upgrades it should only damage you about 100 / 800. Also I've been playing against a lot of /v/irgins recently, ever since that 4chan v. reddit game. It's just like a parade of mouthbreathers show up to say they're apart of something big when really they're just a bunch of tryhards.

I have a problem with the game.I can't see my mouse on the menu. How do I fix this? Sorry if the answer was just recently posted.Don't feel like looking two pages behind and such also my whole game is black

Any specific things you need to do to get a beta key (except for the facebook like thing)? Or do they just send them to random people?

Anyone else thinks the improved repair gun should also be able to heal (including flag carriers)? The heal speed could be better on heavier classes than lighter ones for balance (so you don't fully heal a pathfinder in 2 seconds) and it would add an extra support role to the technician.
