Tribes: Ascend v3: Would the real shazbot please stand up - Games

[QUOTE=Niven;36540543]Oh dammit. I'm level 7 and now I'm being put with 21's and 30's :C[/QUOTE] Welcome to T:A's matchmaking. [I]There isn't any.[/I]

[QUOTE=Hans-Gunther 3.;36540470]Is there a Quake 3-like hit sound? If not then they should replace the huge numbers with that and maybe use different pitches and volumes for how much damage you did.[/QUOTE] yes there's a hit indicator that flashes around your crosshairs when you hit and a sound.

Holy crap, I got the enemy flag and it was a perfect grab, there was a HOF on our flag so I wasn't worried about an e-grab and as I flew in I instantly die and enemy flag is returned. There was an invisible infiltrator with super heavy standing right next to the HOF. Later the same infiltrator did this on the enemy flag stand. So today I learned to always shoot the flag stand as you're coming in, even if you don't see anything.

So I was sniping today on Drydock and was trying to shoot the enemy flag carrier, unfortunately I missed and he was getting away. Both our teams were carrying flags so I decided to hop on a gravcycle and chase the bastard. As I got close, I fired a few shots and a nearby pathfinder threw his nitron, we both hit him, forcing him to fly up. I jumped out of my gravcycle, instaintly finished him off with my phase rifle and landed on our flag, retrieving it. Best. Moment. Ever. (besides my first experience driving a gravcycle, those poor sandrakers.)

Got into a game with this gentleman yesterday: [img]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/596974612718435685/EA2F5A9F45AB7B90150CF56E48E30B58C76F77AA/[/img]

Watch, now you'll probably end up as background footage in one of this videos.

[QUOTE=Clio;36543363]why do people like this guy[/QUOTE] he makes decent videos?

I'm getting an error that I didn't have with the Non-Steam version where when I try to load a map, it takes an incredibly long time to load before playing music and giving me the ability to move my mouse around, but it still has the loading splash screen up. It's pretty frustrating since I bought the Starter Pack and I can't even play it.

sounds like your computer is a compoopter

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;36544955]sounds like your computer is a compoopter[/QUOTE] Nah, it's pretty decent. The only thing on the lower side is my processor but I never had a problem with the Non-Steam version. I could run it on high at 45 FPS, no problem.

If you can't fix it, you could always just reinstall the non steam version. You keep the stuff from the pack.

Is there any reason to let go of the ski button when jetpacking? In totalbiscuits videos he always stops skiing when he's using the jetpack but I just don't see the point. I always just hold it down

[QUOTE=SamPerson123;36545651]If you can't fix it, you could always just reinstall the non steam version. You keep the stuff from the pack.[/QUOTE] Yeah, that's what I'm doing now. I might reinstall the Steam version if that bug is ever addressed.

I just did the worst thing in CTF... Both teams had the flag and it was 4 to 4. I was carrying the enemy flag waiting by our generator and I sneezed and accidentally hit z while looking at a hole. So I dropped the flag in the hole, it returned to the enemy and them they capped and won

So according to pub players, "VFF" means "I should grab the flag before our capper grabs it, since that is what doombringers do."

Tried to get a friend of mine earlier to start playing Tribes with me, you know what she tells me? "It's just like halo, it's a bad halo copy." :downs:

Goddamn, I hate seeing DMBs waddle around in the mid-field.

it's 'was' because he now does the esports stuff for that MOBA hirez is making as well

gg hirez moving onto smite instead of fixing tribes

[QUOTE=krail9;36545996]it used to slow you down if you held ski while in the air, the bug has been fixed but many people including myself still do it out of habbit[/QUOTE] Do you still have to switch direction to speed up in the air or was that fixed too I still do it out of habit, you could jetpack nearly twice as high because of it, and I haven't read any patch notes that said it was fixed

[QUOTE=DrasarSalman;36523355]I instead got a whole load of this: [t]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/595848712808265692/01167927CB94A4E14743318BC767EF4339D45A53/[/t] He also got extended fractal :suicide:[/QUOTE] Hello :v: I'll always remember that moment when you managed to just walk into the pit before I got to even shoot you. And then while you struggled with your jetpack trying to get back up again, I looked down at you and shot you once with my Nova Colt just to get your kill.

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;36540844]Welcome to T:A's matchmaking. [I]There isn't any.[/I][/QUOTE] To be fair matchmaking only implies that it puts you in a match with other players, it's not really balanced right now because player level doesn't directly translate to player skill, some people are amazing at the game but don't play as much and some people are terrible and play every day so rank 7's can be better than rank 30's Idk if ranked matchmaking is ever coming but that would fix the problem (having each player rated by skill rather than how long they've played)
