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

Everything is ridiculously expensive - it will cost me most of my exp just to get soldier back. Also, if you consider hirezstew's ~8 xp conversion rate, unlocking the full 'wraith' class costs the equivalent of 53000 tokens :v:

[QUOTE=Kepler;34519916]I paid 30 bucks for this and they remove jumper? That was my favorite class! I went fast all the time! gotta go complain[/QUOTE] psst It's built into pathfinder now Read the patch notes.

I've been playing this for the past few hours, holy shit is it fun. I was playing team deathmatch as "DAXM" if anyone here happened to see me.

So do you get more exp now? Like, to make up for the tokens you would have gotten before? If so that might explain (a little bit) these high weapon costs. Still, 170,000 is absurd for really anything.

The menu system is looking awesome. For those getting no 3d rendering, just repair your install. It seemed to work for me.

Yeah, blue plate special needs to be changed for infiltrator.

It bugs me that the all the different spinfusors have the same world model. So the light spinfusor has the same world model as the three pronged one the soldier uses. Also, the Thumper still has the smg for it's world model. I don't see how this is an issue since they clearly show them in the menus with proper models. Why haven't they fixed this?

I think Brute Fractal Grenades need to be nerfed, seriously, offensive generator busts are becoming retarded. I played against one dude who just bumrushed the generator for every live that he had and he would disable the generator every time just by throwing down two fractal grenades, no amount of turrets and juggernauts could defend, and by the end of the game he had 12xDouble Kill allocades and 4xTriple kill allocades. And he would get refills off of ammo pickups which just makes them even harder to defend against. I don't think anyone has found a counter to it yet, so just go ahead and abuse it.

I imagine the menus have slightly different versions with better textures and stuff.

Oh dear god evrything has changed, but I have all classes so it's okay.

Come back from hiatus. Notice new awesome update. Notice the Tech now has a Thumper. "Holy shit" I always sucked with the SMG unless I was fighting a Heavy, now I actually don't suck in battle with the Tech.

[QUOTE=wombo;34520610]They know it's an issue but it's far from a priority.[/QUOTE] While I agree, it's not like it's that hard - they could have done that instead of all the menu animations for example. Also gameplay wise it does have an effect - it can be misleading when you see a pathfinder with a 'spinfusor' only to find it's actually a bolt launcher :v:

What is this shazbot thing from? And my team just lost. it was 0/1 points. I raged.

Man is that one sexy menu. I can't believe that the weapons are more then 100 times more expensive then some other upgrades. But I guess as long as classes are cheaper now I can deal with it. Oh and I got the new weapon for the infil and it pretty much makes killing things easy as pie.

Aww they nerfed the Bounty Hunter perk.

[QUOTE=Electrocuter;34520662]Aww they nerfed the Bounty Hunter perk.[/QUOTE] Bounty hunter and survivalist were my favorites and both got nerfed :( [editline]edit[/editline] [IMG]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1317195/tribes/spinfsor.png[/IMG] so badass

I am the greatest! Chat spam aside, I got spammed with cdkeys, some of my steam friends are gonna be happy.

[QUOTE=krail9;34520693]Bounty hunter and survivalist were my favorites and both got nerfed :([/QUOTE] Oh wait nevermind that, perks can be upgraded now too, fully upgraded it gives back the old 200 per kill and an extra 150 for belt(grenades,etc) kills. It's actually better than before.

We had practically our whole team trying to defend the generator but no, fractal grenades erryday. That guy must've got tonnes of points.

So i downloaded it, and then when it finished it had an extra 1.7 mb to download so i was like, yeah, that's small, and then it stopped completely. I closed it and every trace of everything i downloaded was deleted. So i have to download it again. Fuck, when will i get to play?

Got an invite for this the other day, it's one of the most fun games I've played in a long while.

I love the remove friend menu model. (its a blood eagle curbstomping another blood eagle :v: )

It's broken, if there's any other way of putting it, I'm at a loss.

They really, REALLY need to up the XP gain rate or lower the cost of certain thing. This shit's ludicrous. Sure, it's balanced for specific little upgrades but I can't imagine playing days and days of this game for each perk, pack and weapon. At least I had enough to buy all the classes and significantly upgrade the Pathfinder whereas pre-patch I only had Pathfinder, Jugg and Infiltrator.

Sure, the prices need tweaking but I've been playing for a few days and I already have all the classes/upgrades I really want, and I've been able to kill anyone I want from the very beginning with relative ease as I've played other tribes games in the past. If you want more stuff more quickly, give them some money - you haven't paid anything at all yet.

They need to give you a reason to buy boosts and gold.
