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

Im going to buy brute next simply because they annihilate the generator room. It was 3v1, a doombringer, a juggernaut and a raider vs a brute. The brute won with 60% health. I was the doombringer. [editline]11th February 2012[/editline] Also, anyone else want bioderms to be in tribes ascend?

so basically i can't hit people for shit going at full speed, which i can barely get up to anyway is there an option to just dick around with minimal movement? I'm thinking infiltrator, possibly. That, or Doombringer just because of that chaingun. Camp out in front of the flag, hit people with it. Whatever.

Well I'm guessing that's how it works, since I could ski since I first started. But skiing is really fucking easy, you just start from a drop or fly up high and drop down for your initial speed. Then go down downy bits and fly up uppy bits. If you want minimal movement go Brute, infiltrator is not suitable because he is a light class.

Not that I'd be useful.

So lately I have been seeing games that are 0-5 more and more often. Whats with this?

[QUOTE=The golden;34646253]I just completed a CTF game where I had TWELVE THOUSAND points more than the next man on my team. Holy fuck they were SO useless. I've also noticed a disturbing trend in which players are not only bad at defending but when questioned they say they think defending is actually pointless. What the fuck[/QUOTE] That reminds me of a match I played in a few days ago. 80% of both teams were camping the bottom of their bases in Bella Omega CTF, our team had NO defenses near the flag, and the other team had a Doombringer with mines and forcefields all over theirs. Not only that, but our team had no one trying to cap the enemy flag except me and one other guy, while the other team had a few players casually capping our undefended flag over and over. I was so disappointed with both teams that I made a comment about it. "I have never seen so much turtling." Responses from both teams were along the lines of: "u mad?", "lol u mad cuz u can't pathfinder and cap our flag easy", "it's called flag defense noob" Really? I thought the Tribes community was better than this. I ended up quitting the match out of boredom and frustration before it ended. A very sad day, that was.

I'm having a weird problem, and I found no mention of it in the OP or Google. The manager just keeps downloading the game, over and over. I must have downloaded 0.1.760 a dozen times now, and after each time it finished downloading it just starts to do it again... Uninstalling an reinstalling doesn't help. Did anyone get something like this?

If there's imbalance and competitive MP, there'll always be "u mad"

[QUOTE=Funion;34646089]let me guess he threw a fractal grenade, which killed all of you, then tripped on his way in[/QUOTE] Yes. That's exactly what happened.

[QUOTE=imasillypiggy;34646414]So lately I have been seeing games that are 0-5 more and more often. Whats with this?[/QUOTE] Because people pretty much just camp the generators or faceroll down the hill the spawned on and cap the flag at 200 sanics. I'm often the only person chasing the capper, and I'm a juggernaut.

I hope soon people get bored of their stupidity and quit, although I imagine it will only get worse when the open beta/full game comes around.

The Technician need more things. The first weapon is shit, the "sentry" dont work with generator down, the generator is down for juggernaut or Infiltrator and I only have the first weapon. SMG vs Juggernaut is the new shazbot.

I kind of wish vehicle spawning was like T2. I had played about 4 hours before I saw a shrike. I liked how they were quick expendable transport in Tribes 2. I guess the maps being much smaller kind of changed their role in Ascend.

Just now decided to try this and I'm really loving it so far. Never played Tribes before so I'm still getting the hang of this skiing thing. Worth the preorder?

i just got anally raped ingame im going to lay down so it heals overnight

Oh god i love brute, im just xp farming with it, 3 fractal grenades, 2600 Hp, + energy shield pack. Vgtg

ll i want to unlock is the LMG but i bet i'll be bad with that too

I love going Juggernaut and walking into their generator room.

Ugh , the machine gun is a pain. I either lead the target by too much , or too little - only ever seem to hit them point blanc.

[QUOTE=Zinayzen;34647205]ll i want to unlock is the LMG but i bet i'll be bad with that too[/QUOTE] LMG is basically a chaingun without the stupid wind up time, aka a better chaingun.

No one understands how Katabatic works. You grab the flag, then keep flying through the passage behind the mountains. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/KJtFJ.jpg[/IMG] Everyone on my team kept trying to go back through the middle and dying. I had 4 of the 5 flag captures.

Raiders are the most annoying to kill, jugs are slow as shit so they're usually easy to hit if you avoid the MIRV spam and make sure to hit them before they regen health (chip away at them), Infiltrators are easy to kill once you've got that first hit to disable their cloak. If you find yourself with two or three, start spamming VDG three or four times so that people know that either it's gonna go down or heavies should get their asses in there.
