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

The skins are hideous as usual. Why don't they make a skin that looks like a higher rank raider instead? That you buy one and get the BE and DS version? It would be so easy, stick some metal slabs on the armor, add a cape or whatever and PRESTO, there you have a higher ranked class skin. No, we get a doom guy and a space biker. I mean, I like that they invest time adding mercenaries and stuff to add a level of depth to the narration, but what if I love BE and DS? And would like to see how a high ranked soldier look like? In my opinion alien races/mercenaries/hired assassins skins should come after higher rank BE and DS skins.

I can just see the grenades being spammed everywhere now, oh god how horrifying.

The plasma rifle looks way to good, 3 shoots and no drop insta kill on medium.

I'm a Raider player and even I find those weapons overpowered as fuck

man fuck those weapons

But cmon the Griever skin is cool unlike the asassin and the mercenary.

Even thought i cant/wont be able to get anything from this update...i'm still as excited as i was for older TF2 updates...and that gotta count for something...keep up HiRez..

Those weapons. >cluster grenade GEE, WAY TO MAKE THE BRUTE MORE USELESS >Everything else No. the plasma rifle just doesn't fit the raider's theme of grenade launchers. the NJ5B seems alright, being a small change, it might be a cheap gun.

i thought the infiltrator mercenary not having any arm plating was pretty crazy considering they're going from planet to planet and now the griever doesn't even have a helmet what the fuck how does he breathe on some maps

I'm actually starting to lose a lot of faith in Hi-rez now.

I can't wait to insta kill everyone with the plasma rifle Fuck it'd be overpowered even at 350 damage, but 500? That's ridiculous I can already see the rape

And it's almost like they made the NJ5 resemble the Battle Rifle from Halo on purpose, just so more people say it looks like Halo. Fucking hell.

I'm okay with Mercenary skins but Assassin and Griever are really ugly in my opinion. Out of place.

hahaha, the plasma rifle does the same damage as the arx, but no delay, larger mag and bigger projectile.

[QUOTE=Takuat;35687778]Tip for when this comes out- Don't rush to buy them, wait until they've been given appropriate adjustments the day after and see if they're still worth it.[/QUOTE] But I have 800k excess xp to spend.

I think the skins are horrible and the guns are overpowered. Then again, I didn't have to watch the video to know that. Woo hoo Hi-Rez, this is going to remind me of TF2 where the updates were wonderful at first, but it all became too much and ruined the experience after a while.. Hi-Rez will reach this point far sooner judging by those awful skins

You guys are over-reacting. The plasma cannon does less damage than the light spinfusor. The plasma rifle is gonna have lower DPS than any other rifle meaning you're gonna hit them a lot less than they hit you if they also have a rifle. Two shots from the Sparrow (Raider's other rifle) does 60 damage more than 1 shot from the plasma rifle and it the time the PR can fire one shot the Sparrow can probably fire 3. And those grenades looks like they do piss poor damage and are mostly good for disorientating the enemy.

So far Hi-Rez has done a great job of balancing the game and meeting the desires of the players.

They can fire one spinfusor shot while you fire like three. [editline]23rd April 2012[/editline] I'm sure they'll be nerfed before it comes out, but look at the jackal. That's [I]still[/I] overpowered.

Just wait until they upgrade the tech. (If they ever do :( ) Electro-paralysis traps all over the flag stand and generator room while artillery turrets shell them from about 5 feet away. That might be awesome though, they would be able to compete.

The jackal is fine, it's just more tactically useful than most weapons. If you know how to counter it it's really not OP. If you blunder around and fall into traps like a dumbass then yeah you're gonna feel it's OP. Thumpher techs, juggs and raider are still a big problem for Infs. And people only think it's OP because for some reason they think infiltrators shouldn't be able to kill things like every other class can.

I 'm not sure about the plasma cannon and the NJ5-B, but those grenades, I must get them [QUOTE==DarkStar=;35688189]I bet in the future they will inplement the old Raider skin back.

VGW a new update! .... for a class..... that I never play.

Hirez should stop the "one class" updates and do a big, general one. People play the class to death, making it harder for people on the receiving end of the new guns.

They should add atleast ONE weapon for each armor type, for example: Raid and Pillage Update = 2 skins for raider, 2 weapons for Raider, 1 weapon for Brute, 1 weapon for Pathfinder, 1 new granade for the three. Or something on those lines.
