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

[QUOTE=Zombii;34686988]As someone who's only been playing for about 5 hours now, my opinion is that anyone who uses the Thumper needs to be castrated and burned[/QUOTE] I checked the stats, it's actually very similar to the Spinfusor. Little less damage against Mediums, little more against Lights, a lot less against Heavies. The big disadvantage is that it arcs. I'm fairly certain the only reason Techs use the Thumper exclusively is because the SMG is completely useless. I play Tech and Soldier and always use the Thumper on the Tech, but really wish he could have an assault rifle instead. The Thumper's just totally useless on anyone farther than point blank, so once a Pathfinder grabs the flag he's gone and there's no way to pick him off at range.

Finally started playing after so many problems yesterday, and got my first flag point today. I'm feeling quite proud of myself, as I'm usually crap at these kind of games.

i'm considering getting a sniper guy jumping 360 headshots and then calling people faggots it's like call of duty in space :downs:

Tech thumper one shots lights and arc is easy as shit. I get more hits with it than spinfusors.

[QUOTE=Dwragon82997;34690335]Tech thumper one shots lights and arc is easy as shit. I get more hits with it than spinfusors.[/QUOTE] It only one shots on a direct hit, against the class best suited to dodge it. It's definitely harder to aim than the Spinfusor, which has about the same projectile speed but no arc. If they wanted to give the Tech a Spinfusor I'd be all over that. No more getting slaughtered by Heavies that can shrug off turret fire (unlike Lights), and a better chance of killing people running off with the flag.

The game is not responding when I join a server or go into training. I left it for 10 mins and still nothing.

[QUOTE=The golden;34690425]I found something to spend my credits on when I'm defending and everything is upgraded. I buy tanks and give them away to people. :v:[/QUOTE] The Pilot perk tempts me for its last level, because I can see no better way of annoying a Doombringer who's fired five Sabre Launcher rounds at your tank than to keep him from actually killing you.

My Tech loadout is Wheel Deal/Pilot and I just drive bikes around :v:

sniping is actually difficult which i expected, but still :(

fuck this game is fun

[QUOTE=Anonymuzz;34691107]fuck this game is fun[/QUOTE] unless youre going slow.

[QUOTE=comet1337;34691321]unless youre going slow.[/QUOTE] i am never going slow

[QUOTE=Dwragon82997;34688304]Basically what Funion does in ctf except, he shoots behind himself. And then he gets 20 kills. He doesn't even have the flag. Just people wanting a piece of his fine ass[/QUOTE] Thing is Funion detours while doing this to take out whoever has stolen his flag, kills them and returns it without even stopping. So everyone gets all angsty like FUNION!!! and then you end up with an entire team chasing him instead of capping/defending base. [QUOTE=Dwragon82997;34688304]Wat I never knew the Techs thumper was different.[/QUOTE] Why do you think people are QQing about offensive techs. It's half the reason I want to unlock the thumper with my lovely gold but I'd rather earn it. To be honest I like Tribes as it is now, but it needs more playability. Perhaps some kind of "Domination" map where you either take flags to cap points (Like that tfc map) or just by standing on them. Also a bunch of the maps need tweaking and in general there needs to be just a little more variety. I'm tired of the same maps over and over. Drydock is currently my favourite. Any chance we can get some kind of list going? IGN: ViralHatred Servers: Europe

Cant decide a primary perk Should i get the one that gives extra credits for kills? I usually play base-raiding juggernaut and i get top kills fairly often

[QUOTE=comet1337;34691359]this is now my favourite song[/QUOTE] jesus christ i've heard that before, who's it by?

Started playing again after stopping for a month or two and my boost still has 3 weeks left on it, what's going on here? Also Arx Novena is really fun to ski through the aquaducts.

It's funny when you see someone with the old jumper build trying to pull a gotta go fast on the flag. But as a technician I have other designs... Heck one guy was doing this, he flew in a dead straight line at the flag, so I just emptied a clip or two of SMG fire at him. An upgraded SMG is pretty brutal. He went on to bitch how "TCN is fucking broken.!" When he flew right at a guy shooting him with an SMG. He even had the courtesy to maintain trajectory so every bullet hit.

Just got gen camped by 2 brutes 1 infiltrator 1 -devestator- doombringer 1 tech who stuck turrets up in our genroom / base so we got boned due to everyone attempting to defend the flag instead of getting power up and our turrets back up.

[QUOTE=Clio;34692628]whats a devastator?[/QUOTE] I think he means doombringer

[QUOTE=samuel2213;34692845]I think he means doombringer[/QUOTE] That's the one. I don't remember their names, I just QQ at them as my genny gets raped.

I've finally got a key through the facebook bullshit. I bet everyone's going to be a ridiculous number of times better than me with their head-starts just like with Tribes 2 :(

[QUOTE=4RT1LL3RY;34689067]Sentinel with super heavy is great, most secondary perks aren't great. Super Heavy makes it so I can run straight(zig-zag) at a brute firing my Nova Blaster and always win if he doesn't direct hit. Feels amazing, they are like, "Oh its a Sentinel, easy kill" then 1.5 seconds pass they are at 600 hp and about to be punched in the face. Or they back up into a claymore. AT speeds of 72 sanics or less indoors the Nova blaster is so beast. Also for those who can't snipe because they can't "see" the one pixel they are shooting at, no more zoom won't be added. If I could see people full size in their base in crossfire. God save anyone near the flagstand. My farthest headshot is 28000m, done from the hill behind Diamond-sword base to an enemy flag carrier taking the back route. He caught too much air for his own good. I would show screenshots if they worked fullscreen, mine still show up as black game screen with other screens on the sides. Also to anyone thinking about getting a booster, in 1.5 hours of play today I made 18k XP, first or second each match. The first match I played of the day was full length, we won, base XP: 2800; Booster: 5600. 8400XP, another full time 4800Xp, and a final full length match for 4800XP again. I made enemy flag grabbers rage so hard. VIP status gets you a 50% increase in XP, booster doubles that, so 300% of normal XP. 90 day booster cost 2400 gold. I have only spent gold on that booster. Yesterday I played 2.5 hours for 25k XP. So anyone wonder if you should get a booster, do it its worth it. Its 4.02 million XP for everything.[/QUOTE] I like how hard it is to snipe with the sniper, I just don't think they deal enough damage, also the phase rifle is stupid as it takes all of your energy for one shot instead of having to wait 4 seconds to fire. Now you have to wait 5 seconds to reg up energy instead.

[QUOTE=NotAName;34678770]When I join a queue, I have a loading screen for about 5 minutes. After that, I see what's under the map (I think, looks like what would happen if you would noclip under the map) for a few seconds before it shoves me back to the menu. What do? [editline] asdasd[/editline] By the way, practice mode works.[/QUOTE] The game worked for me once and now it happened again, I am confuse

-snip-

[QUOTE=Birdman101;34688177]uuuhg, If I make 2500 xp a day, its gonna take me about a month to get the thumper. A MONTH. Alright, how much money would it take to get 780 gold, in dollars? [editline]13th February 2012[/editline] also, anyone wanna play with me? I'm bored and I don't wanna do my homework.[/QUOTE] How about, don't buy the thumper or you're an asshole :smile:

is it a bad thing if i can only get 150 sanics as a pathfinder i've never even played an online game because of it

Just practise, it really isn't hard.
