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

what are people supposed to do when with the jackal you can detonate a sticky midair showing complete air dominance???

[QUOTE=AutomataReturns;36544949]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.[/QUOTE] did you ever find a fix for this?

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;36559103]what are people supposed to do when with the jackal you can detonate a sticky midair showing complete air dominance???[/QUOTE] Oh please, it does piss poor air detonation damage. If you get killed by the jackal outdoors then you are seriously bad. Like, almost "go back to wii sports" bad

so i guess you must be the god of tribes because you've never been killed by the jackal?

[QUOTE=Foogooman;36559127]"go back to wii sports" bad[/QUOTE] Really? Because with that avatar I'm thinking I should go back to mario-party Preferably 6

[QUOTE=SataniX;36552233]Yes, actually. [editline]29th June 2012[/editline] I figured out how to make GIFs with dxtory I think. [editline]29th June 2012[/editline] [img]http://niggaupload.com/images/qj74n.gif[/img][/QUOTE] How exactly do you make gifs with dxtory?

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;36559152]so i guess you must be the god of tribes because you've never been killed by the jackal?[/QUOTE] No I'm just good at strategy. You don't out-shoot a jackal infiltrator, you out-think him. It's the same thing with brute fractals or any other powerful weapon. I very rarely get killed by enemy brute fractals, even as a brute myself camping their gen room when they come in and spam fractals over and over. You just need to know how to deal with it. [editline]30th June 2012[/editline] It's hard to spell out how to beat an infiltrator because every situation is different and requires different specific movements to accomplish your goal but here's the jist of it. Like I said, you have to out-think them. Trying to beat them in a shootout rarely works since they can duck around a corner and be gone unless you're also good and predicting where they are most likely to go (another great way to kill them, which I use). One easy trick is to make the infiltrator think you are vulnerable when in truth you're setting a trap. Walk around as a raider making you an easy target. Be ready to jump + jet at the first sound of a jackal firing and turn on your shield pack. He'll hit you for a little damage but the shield pack should adsorb all of it. Do this in an area where the infiltrator can't disappear easily. Start shooting, don't let him recloak. If he gets away or kills you then you're honestly just bad, a medium class should be able to outgun an infiltrator at that point. Place a forcefield as a doombringer oddly out of the way, seemingly allowing an infiltrator to slip through. They'll think they're so clever right up until they step on the mine you tucked around the corner in the blind spot. As a tech, use motion sensors. That's it. That's all you should need. Jammer packs, deployable jammers. Take stealth away from an infiltrator and he has nothing. There's a million ways to beat them no matter what weapons they use. [editline]30th June 2012[/editline] Oh, and listen for their footsteps. They're actually really loud. Outdoors they make super obvious splashes of dirt or water when they walk around.

Someone should go inf with jackal and fight againts Foogooman and all of us should spectate to see who really wins

Playing tribes with 800 ping is hard don't try it

[QUOTE=Foogooman;36559712]Rated funny because the idea that any jackal infiltrator could kill me is laughable do ho ho[/QUOTE] what is your most played class?

[QUOTE=Foogooman;36555866]Or just make it fire two stickies instead of three. [editline]29th June 2012[/editline] Or you know, you guys could suck it up and deal with it. The jackal is a good weapon but you know what? [b]I don't think I've EVER been killed by an infiltrator with a jackal one on one.[/b] The only people that complain about the jackal are the ones who are too stupid to figure out how to deal with it.[/QUOTE] You're either lying or only play heavy.

[QUOTE=Araknid;36559189]How exactly do you make gifs with dxtory?[/QUOTE] Not a majorly simple process, but using dxtory's auto screenshot feature. I set it to take a screenshot ever 100ms. Then I just dragged those into a GIMP file as layers and export as GIF. Photoshop would work similar, I imagine.

I got over 18k XP, should I buy Raider or Brute? Got the rest of the classes already and I love the game, so much less pay 2 win going on than other F2P-games.

Brute as far as I'm concerned, but others may disagree. [editline]30th June 2012[/editline] How to deal with sentinels who can actually aim?

[QUOTE=SataniX;36561278] How to deal with sentinels who can actually aim?[/QUOTE] Get all the backstab achievements Other than that if you're playing a role like capper then there's nothing you can do, you don't have the ability to perform evasive manoeuvres mid air or at over 200 unfortunately

[QUOTE=SataniX;36561278]Brute as far as I'm concerned, but others may disagree. [editline]30th June 2012[/editline] How to deal with sentinels who can actually aim?[/QUOTE] Your team should be dealing with them, but this is pub matches so I don't know, trying back to front routes work.

[QUOTE=Foogooman;36555991]I can remember a specific time where [I]THREE[/I] jackal infiltrators were attacking the generator room together and I repelled them every time as a single doombringer.[/QUOTE] There's your problem. See, not everyone who goes down to the generator's a doombringer. You're pretty much useless down there unless you can prevent them from downing the generator in the first place. Techs on the other hand, are pretty much required if you want it to stay alive.

Apparently I was doing too good and enough people reported me for hacking so I got banned and Hi-Rez doesn't care. In this match there were a couple of people too who tried to votekick me :v:

[QUOTE=_Axel;36561825]I may be wrong but how did they nerf autos in the two previous patches ?[/QUOTE] The new autos are pretty much OP. Rockwind smg is an example.

[QUOTE=Idzo;36562004]The new autos are pretty much OP. Rockwind smg is an example.[/QUOTE] The rockwind doesn't shoot explosives and kill you in 3 hits.

[QUOTE=DrasarSalman;36562214]The rockwind doesn't shoot explosives and kill you in 3 hits.[/QUOTE] Are we still debating the jackal? Also did they nerf the rate of fire on the rockwind now? If they did,I take back what i said about it.

I think they nerfed it already with slower firerate.

Wasn't it's damage reduced by 8%?

Yeah firerate reduction on rockwind, think it had a mag size reduction too.

there's no point arguing about the jackal it's never going to get changed so

Not if nobody complains no.
