Also newbies don't get what llama capping is, I got called a llama for picking up the enemy flag while being a juggernaut, I was going over 200 due to explosions :v:

[QUOTE=Zinayzen;34641382]so i'm not good with fast paced shooters
how boned am I?
any tips are appreciated sirs[/QUOTE]
Just go brute and spam nades all day
Just go juggernaut and spam mortar all day indoors
Play doombringer and troll people with crossbow+mines
If the enemy team likes flying a lot, go doombringer and saber them :v:
I wish my computer could run this.
It looks fun, but the community also reminds me of early Team Fortress 2.
I'm missing out on something here.
I mean just look at this shit:

Fuck guns costing 100000 EXP, how do they expect people to test them and look for bugs like that?
That's like, one too many zeros imo.

Simple, file following bug report:
[I]Bug found: guns too expensive[/I]
How do you report bugs? One bug that really annoys me is that if you shoot a mirv nade before you die, after you die if it kills someone it says the person suicided instead of giving you the kill
Does your character reset after beta? I'm primarily thinking about those that have spent actual ingame gold to buy stuff.

You get your gold and XP refunded every time they fuck with a class so I would assume so.

They stated a while back that all of this would carry over to the full release.
Any patchnotes for 0.1.760.0

Hehe, I'm in there at 1:49
So I bought this. I already hate it even though I wanted the game.
I played 3 matches of jetpack flying thumper spam and in the end I just got sick and tired of it.
Will have to try ctf some other time.
Is the doombringer bolt launcher any good? I have a boost for a who more days and I am wondering what I should save up on.
Played a few more rounds today. I'm not sure I like the class system compared to Tribes 2, but it's free, so I guess I can't complain.
Also the settings menu is pretty disappointingly simple.
Username is laserpanda if you want to add me to the list.
Also I thought I remembered seeing the Havok Transport from T2 when they were showing it at quakecon. Did that get removed?

VGW!
[QUOTE=Askaris;34636887]...Oh shit.
Basically, in Earthsiege/Starsiege (the orginal games in the tribes universe), Hercs are huge fucking mechs capable of wrecking some serious shit. The tribes tend not to use them, due to needing a higher industrial base than what they usually possess to supply them. However, it has been shown that Hercs can give the lightly armoured tribesmen serious problems. The Blood Eagles, being descended from the Imperial Knights sent in to conquer the tribes, used to possess Hercs; if it weren't for the supply problems they entailed, the Butchers could have annihilated everyone else with relative ease.
Essentially, if Hercs are being mentioned in the game files, there will be some serious shit going down in the final game.[/QUOTE]
The Herc model in the game files is a gigantic tank.

I think it will get added in later, but with the current size of maps (Except for Bella Omega sorta) i don't think they would be needed, unless newer, bigger maps come out later.
Hi-Rez said that they're aiming for 1 new map every month, so there might be another new map soon.

I can't wait to ski with that thing.
It has to go fast.

Those were never very useful, I don't miss them at all. Who would even use them.

Those things never even did much and would be even less useful in Tribes Ascend.

Obviously not going fast enough.

Being on the receiving end of it on some occasions has told me that it can sometimes instant kill light classes. This one time I was a Pathfinder and went to harass people in the generator because my team had their flag. I encountered a Doombringer with the heavy bolt launcher and all I saw was a electrically charged bolt come flying at me and then instant death. I'm not 100% sure if I was damaged, but there wasn't even a chance for me to out shoot him.
It's really funny killing people with Superheavy, even if it only works on cappers who don't know what the metal tube with the blue spinning thing in it is for.

I'm sorry but why on earth did you buy it without trying it? Beta keys are so easy to get.
Also CTF is the main mode which everything is balanced for, the other modes are just diversions.

This is what I thought at first, but the game gets so addictive once you start getting better. Just read up on tips.
Wow, the light assault rifle for pathfinder is awesome.
[QUOTE=Crimor;34641376]Is it bad that when I play infil, I don't care much about the generator? I find it much more delicious to just wait for someone to go and repair it and sticky them, if the generator dies from it all the better.[/QUOTE]
Infiltrators annoyed the living fuck out of me today.
I was guarding the generator then suddenly fucking sticky grenades everywhere, dead.
It's convincing me to buy infil, just to camp the enemy generator and rack up kills. :v:
i have no idea how to go fast
should i just jetpack towards the nearest hill and hope for the best or what
once i stop moving fast i'm totally boned
