I decided to try this but it just crashes goddamn constantly at random parts and right now I can't get to the Sonoran desert without it crashing at the loading screen.

So far the optimization with this game seems horrible. You'd think after being out this long, it wouldn't be this crappy.

No, Global Agenda is one of, if not the most unoptimized game in the current market.

PvE is well optimized, my mid-end rig can run it on max with DX10. PvP on the other hand (as in more than 4 players) is unoptimized piece of shit, every time I'm about to do some AvA I used to lower graphics to lowest just because it'll stutter otherwise.

That's why I've got a custom graphics config where I make GA look like Minecraft, not only it prevents lag spikes mid important AvA match but it also looks charmingly old-school.

[editline]27th September 2011[/editline]

and when I say like Minecraft, I mean it. 64x64 textures, no texture filtering, low poly models.

Mind sharing it?

[QUOTE=Kaelazun;32503962]Mind sharing it?[/QUOTE]

I'm sorry, I've deleted GA when I stopped playing and with it the custom config.
I remember there was a guide on the forums about graphic settings, that's where I learned about it.

This game actually runs really smooth for me but it will just randomly crash every once in a while

[LosttoLauren]

Got my first level 50 today, and a crescent jetpack! :dance:

[Mingebox]

Is it just me, or does this game have insanely long load times.

[LosttoLauren]

Silly dome guard, you aren't spiderman. Get down from there!

What is the quickest way of getting simple power cells, because the queue for the Security missions take forever to get a balanced group.

I know a spot in the begginer desert. The huge crator with small ruins around them, sand spiders spawn there, thay can drop those, but they can be a bit of a pain to kill.

Not sure how good this is for power cells (although they DO drop), but if I can't be bothered to wait for a spec ops group I do solo expert. It can get tricky, but it's pretty rewarding and fun, plus there's no need to rely on a team of pubs. The end rewards are (iirc, could be wrong) about the same as a max security run.

Farming? I have 500 of them just because I can't get enough power cells to keep up with the flow of scrap to craft mods and stuff.

Good choice, he should be the Nr. 1 candidate for that anyway.

I gave it back.

I downloaded the patch today and I don't enjoy GA anymore, the new update is really uninteresting and I get way too much lag :(

[bionic0n3]

Since Krail does not want the code I have decided to dump it here! first come first serve. This thread gets low traffic so hopefully someone that will use it gets it.

I'm surprised there's no Tribes: Ascend thread, specially since it's basically Global Agenda with 100+ players on the map and vehicles.
I made Tribes Universe thread a year ago, when I first applied to the Beta/Alpha but they changed the name since then.

When is Tribes Ascend coming out, anyway?

[QUOTE=little.sparrow;32750812]When is Tribes Ascend coming out, anyway?[/QUOTE]

Beta is out in November 4th (just got an email about that, I'm in, yay!), release date is unannounced, as far as I know.

I'm not really feeling this game. The combat is a little dull by FPS standards, and the MMORPG elements seem threadbare.

It's all about teamwork and class based combat.
I've yet to see a more beautifully executed teamwork in any other game than I've seen in Global Agenda (might have something to do with GA being the only multiplayer game I ever played at "pro" level).

[I]Enemy warehouse, protected by several Assault/Medic couples and Robos with Gauss Platforms.
As soon as the spawn shield disappears, our strike force splits into 4 predefined Assault/Medic pairs, each flying towards their own point of entry, juking enemy fire.
Our Recon quickly puts a Scorpia debuff on every Assault, making their Medics waste their power and drops a bomb at their Robo nests.
Our own Robo, sitting inside our freshly built Vindicator, smashes their platform nest to pieces, killing Robos or forcing them to retreat.
Assaults, backed up my Medics and the Vindicator, easily decimate everything inside the warehouse.
Half of the Strike Force starts to capture the point while other half scouts next 2 points for easier target.[/I]

It's even more beautiful when you're the one giving orders to them.

Edit: That's a real story by the way, I was the once in charge that match.

Yeah, I just got to level 30, joined a merc game, and it was completely deffrent.

Unlike pre 30lvl games, everything went much faster, it required you to be constaintly moving, so, for example a sentry would only last <10 seconds before it got destroyed (when placed in an effective position)

Haven't tried AvA yet, just haven't found an agency.
