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

[QUOTE=latin_geek;34652915] Also, it it just me, or do the base turrets lead targets?[/QUOTE] They lead everything except heavy classes.

[QUOTE=latin_geek;34652915]What, in any map the generators are extremely important because fucking EVERYTHING is powered by them even tech turrets [editline]11th February 2012[/editline] Also, it it just me, or do the base turrets lead targets?[/QUOTE] They do, I've seen base turrets leading pathfinder going fuckfast and blowing them right the fuck up.

neat so yeah that concludes my "generators are important as fuck REPAIR AND DEFEND THEM ERRYDAY" speech

Base turrets will fuck you in the street if you're not paying attention to them.

They're so smart, there can be three people running ten feet from them at 1000 sanics and they'll still target me, the guy two miles away, who is trying to destroy them.

Fly up slope, enter base Three turrets and two mines on flag, nitron doesn't help, vgs vgs

I wish they added the mech from shifter. [IMG]http://media.moddb.com/cache/images/mods/1/1/138/thumb_620x2000/shifter_herc3.jpg[/IMG] It wouldn't be quite as unfair as a full sized herc.

Login servers down for anyone else?

Up for me

Too many people over look base turrets. While they don't often get a kill, they are great at hitting very fast targets, or causing enemies to take evasive measures. A number of times I have gone around upgrading and repairing our turrets, after they have been ignored by our loosing team, and have them turn around the game for us.

I've always considered the lock-range for turrets silly. When you're going too fast, they're practically instant death on some maps. Capping on Bella Omega gets really stupid due to the placement of the turrets and the flags, and unless you have reach there's barely any room to maneuver out of the way and still grab the flag.

Is the Tribes: Ascend VIP Starter Pack worth it? Particularly, VIP status? I haven't had a ton of time to play Tribes lately, but it seems like a superb game and fills the void I've been missing since UT2k4 and similar fast paced games.

I bought it and its good.

Wait for the full release instead.

[QUOTE=Fisk;34653939]Wait for the full release instead.[/QUOTE] Does VIP status and all unlocks carry over to full release? And will there be something similar that gets you more once that comes out?

[QUOTE=jeimizu;34652828]I wish the generators were more important. Bella Omega is the only map where the base turrets really make a difference. In Tribes 2 if your generators were down it was actually a problem, in Ascend no one really cares about the generators at all, so they never get repaired.[/QUOTE] Generators are fucking important, I bet you're one of the people that never bother defending it. if it goes down it means no radar, no turrets, no player turrets, no shield walls, and more ways for the enemy to grab your flag.

[QUOTE=H4yd3n;34653961]Does VIP status and all unlocks carry over to full release? And will there be something similar that gets you more once that comes out?[/QUOTE] Yup. also VIP servers.

[QUOTE=Niklas;34654127]Yup. also VIP servers.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure they removed those.

We're not tech support, ask Hi-Rez. Also meanwhile in Global Agenda: [thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10565588/Game%20pictures/globalagenda%202012-02-09%2000-18-01-50.png[/thumb]

Oh God I´m so dumb There was an announcement saying that the new driver from Nvidia will crash the game upon launching And I thought it was something with the game, and I put the game to reinstall I have to roll back to the previous driver

Not to mention all their mini-turrets, shield walls, and even when those things can be bypassed... gliding in for a grab... and.... FUCKHEAVYNOOOOOOO*bodyblocked*

sooo umm any body have an idea why i occasionally get an mvp stat thing for something along the lines of "330 m kill" ? like, two days ago i had a 11k m headshot mvp stat but i also got some 410 m kill mvp stat whats that about

I see a lot of people in the generator room because you get easy kills in there but when it gets to the point where there are more people defending the generator then the flag then its a problem.

Could someone repost that super ultra low config file in the official forums?

There is a very important balance that you gotta find between holding a seminar in the gen room and vacating it.

Hey guys guess what Technician Thumper is OP Probably why it costs 100,000 (pay to win huehue)
