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

I've learned that I have shit aim with anything but that onehanded grenade launcher, and I go faster than most when I ski so I mostly go after the flag. But if I wanna go faster I need to have less of a shit aim with the spinfusor and the shotgun and I have tried but my aim just wont improve. So I have to choose between either be able to defend myself or go even faster. WHY CANT I HAVE BOTH

[QUOTE=ionuttzu;34590078]I have the same fucking shit except a 3.0 Ghz CPU and I can barely run the damn game on all-low with 30 FPS. What resolution?[/QUOTE] fullscreen at 1680x1050

[QUOTE=PT-Desu;34589795]Am i the only person playing on lowest graphic settings ? I can run the game fine on High but it distracts me too much, the dull textures and lack of pretty effects makes it much easier to see people for me.

[QUOTE=Marik Bentusi;34590280]Guys, after a few days I think I'm playing this game wrong. Could anyone tell me why all my matches usually turn out like this? [b]Earlygame[/b] I go Pathfinder because I enjoy the speed and try to get better at fluid moving & shooting with the spinfuser as well as flag capping if I get the chance. Shortly afterwards I notice the reason why our turrets are down (and our flags keeps getting captured as a result) is because there's a terrible Juggernaut/Infiltrator infestation in our base. [b]Midgame[/b] consists of trying to win back our base and setting up defenses, which is usually achieved when >50% of our team goes Tech/Sentinel to fill the place with turrets and explosives. In [b]Lategame[/b] both sides have bunkered their places completely so that normal Pathfinder caps don't work. Instead we get a pissing match between the ~3 top players of both teams that throw vehicles and orbital strikes at each other. The rest of the team is pretty much useless and tries to keep the defenses up. This isn't fun to play and my team loses in >80% of all cases. Obviously it should average out at ~50% when the teams are constantly mixed, but since it doesn't, it appears I'm doing something wrong. I'm constantly trying to fix stuff around our base and can't really get past the enemy's defenses from Midgame onwards. Should I just ditch my team and base and keep charging their flag until it works or what?[/QUOTE] Communicate with your team. Group up with other pathfinders and soldiers and get as many caps as you can. When you have two more than the enemy, everyone switch to defense, upgrade the turrets and generator, KEEP SOMEONE NEAR THE GENERATOR, and turtle the shit outta your flag until the round ends or some lucky sanic pathfinder gets you the caps you need to win.

not like it doesn't happen there

Why is the Europe server so empty, constantly get in a match with no single soul. I can also play on the American servers but then I play with 170ms..

So I was playing on capture the flag, trying to grab the flag. Impossible, too much heavies camping and waiting for pathfinders like me to come. So I changed tactics, gained as much speed as possible and skied around their camp until they were bored of trying to kill me from a distance and went close contact. I started flying across the map with three quarters of the enemy team behind me while my colleagues had all the time and room they wanted to grab the flag and bring it home :v: [editline]7th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=imasillypiggy;34591431]Sounds more like a tribes thing to me.

That feeling when you get a 1775m kill with a disc. Love this game

[QUOTE=Numidium;34591737]Can you tell me how to make it like this?[/QUOTE] Google around about ATI or Nvidia LOD bias, it's a driver tweak that works on both brands with a different process.

None of my computers have enough Sanics to run Tribes: Ascend properly without going on lowest settings. And even then it's still slow. [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com//fp/emoot/saddowns.gif[/IMG]

Thanks for all the replies to my post, guys. If communication is really such a big factor then I think I can scrap this game, because everyone seems to be doing their own thing and it's not like you can choose your teammates. Hope you guys keep having fun tho, keep capping flags and making funny gifs.

I need to kill fast and spinfusor too slow

So that low detail texture thing feels really weird and kinda fucks with my sense of perspective. And playing with projectile weapons after weeks of Sentinel is the easiest thing of all time.

Managed to fix my performance issues and I'm now running it at 50-60 fps constantly at max. It's glorious and I'm buying VIP in a few days. Gotta go VIP.

Was wondering if doombringer is any good. I want to defend the flag but since most people zoom on by at a fraction of a second my turrets rarely stop them.

Jetpacked up a hill to land on one of those supply-dropped inventory stations, but instead of resupplying me it launched me at 658 SANICS into the map border.
