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

Coming up in Spam & Win update - - added Thruster Pack for Juggernaut class, our testers reported he was too slow

[QUOTE=leonthefox;35736066]I really hate juggers because of that He can do almost everything Flagstand clearing Dueling (Spinfusor MKD or LMG + spinfusor discs) Gen hating/Gen defense Destroying base assets Hi rez just needs to give him a fucking thrust pack and there you go, juggernaut can chase now[/QUOTE] He doesn't need to chase. He can just fire his mortar and insta-kill the flag carrier.

update on competitive team. i talked with a51 titan and talked to one of the organizers for the newbloods tournament and i got a51 to coach my team on saturday. titan's gonna be coaching our defense and idk if zoid is gonna be there as well coaching our offense.

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;35736286]He doesn't need to chase. He can just fire his mortar and insta-kill the flag carrier.[/QUOTE] Being able to do real long-range shots on fast-going pathfinders is really satisfactory.

[QUOTE=jiggu;35736302]Being able to do real long-range shots on fast-going pathfinders is really satisfactory.[/QUOTE] One of the few times when juggs take time to aim.

I would have liked if they kept the projectile the same size, but made it significantly slower

I keep getting put against rank 12 people with pickles under their mantits that play the game 25 hours a day. They really need to fix this matchmaking system.

Rank 12 isn't high at all though

[QUOTE=RickieSticki;35738058]I keep getting put against rank 12 people with pickles under their mantits that play the game 25 hours a day. They really need to fix this matchmaking system.[/QUOTE] Imo I think the ranks should be separated by 5's. 10-15, 16-20, ec

I remember how much fun I had when I was matched against people of similar skill leave/rank to me (aka when i was below rank 6.) Now I'm just getting matched against rank 25+ players which stack teams and shit. I may be level 22, but it's not that fun when teams are getting stacked with people far above your rank. I also had so much more fun back when I was playing people with just default loadouts, back before the customization update. Now it seems practically impossible to be able to take down some people without spending some amount of money. (Jugg LMG, Tech thumper, AR pathfinders, Falcoln snipers. That last one has been the biggest bitch yet, the falcoln can take down heavies in two clips. And clips are spent very very fast.) Thankfully though, I already bought most of the shit. I feel terribly sorry for people who aren't able to spend so much money though. But I do find the odd gem who has nothing but default loadouts, and still managed to hold his ground.

Always fun to play against a rank ~30 who only plays sentinel Why won't they let me go fast

[QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;35738626]Imo I think the ranks should be separated by 5's. 10-15, 16-20, ec[/QUOTE] I dont mind fighting with people under 30 but over is just rape.

I know its an unpopular opinion but, I really hate raindance. if it wasnt for the gen and flagstand it would be a great map. a doombringer can have forcefields up for the entirety of the game because the gen is impossible to get to and the flag stand is on a small pillar. ive had so many matches timing out at 0-1 on that map

I never see forcefields stay up on it because it's so easy to destroy them.

I also hate the generator room on Sunstar. It's so open it's impossible to defend.

[QUOTE==DarkStar=;35738863]I dont mind fighting with people under 30 but over is just rape.[/QUOTE] Some over 30 aren't that hard to fight (Anarchyao)

[QUOTE=dill6869;35739229]Some over 30 aren't that hard to fight (Anarchyao)[/QUOTE] Not when your team barely have two guys over 20 and the sandraker team gets people with 35, 42 and 49 all soldiers, raiders and juggers. There is no way to win unless they go deatmatch in the midfield the whole round.

Reinstalled Tribes 2, everything feels so weird, fun Skiing around some old maps like Broadside though.

[QUOTE=dill6869;35739229]Some over 30 aren't that hard to fight (Anarchyao)[/QUOTE] anarchy doesnt even play seriously when he pubs he just tries to get cool kills like sticky shrikes or midair melee flag returns

Sentinel is stock load out. Soldier is Ranger loadout. Raider is scrambler with EMP grenade. Tech is stock. Juggernaut is stock. Doombringer has mines. Brute is ungraded and neglected, poor Brute.

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;35739091]I also hate the generator room on Sunstar. It's so open it's impossible to defend.[/QUOTE] I love it, it's an infiltrator paradise. I got The Slayer on there a few days ago. 34 kills, 0 deaths.

Have an urge to post this: [video=youtube;Il2tGbQR3ys]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Il2tGbQR3ys[/video]

Tribes 2 was heavily vehicle orientated. Fun days though.

Any good tutorials on using the Jackal successfully?
