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

Wait, how can you tell if someone is playing on Steam or not? I removed the non-Steam version and got the Steam one because it makes me feel like my computer is less cluttered with all of my games on Steam, even though it makes no actual difference and I know that.

I got my first hurt locker today [img]http://sae.tweek.us/static/images/emoticons/emot-buddy.gif[/img]

He was a high level bastard in a game when everybody was 15 and he was a boltlauncher/ Lar cheap ass :v:

Does anyone have any tips for hitscan weapons? I find it incredibly hard to hit anything at any distance with a dot.

[QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;36585385]Tell me more about these crosshairs.[/QUOTE] Please, I need a good one for doomburger.

Does anyone have the link to that Tribes video where its that news clip of the guy using that jetpack of sorts but it puts the juggernauts head on him and a song plays?

[QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;36585385]Tell me more about these crosshairs.[/QUOTE] I don't have a link, but I recall someone posted two crosshairs on Facepunch, one for Juggernaut accuracy and the other to fix the shitty new Sentinel crosshairs. I think they were in the last thread.

Does the steam version have any issues? I'm not sure if I should download it or keep playing from the hi rez client [QUOTE=Mackalda2k6;36585659]Does anyone have the link to that Tribes video where its that news clip of the guy using that jetpack of sorts but it puts the juggernauts head on him and a song plays?[/QUOTE] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ciuxSxO6Sg[/media] and rock the shazbot [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3E52ldY3AM[/media]

I think they were in the last thread.[/QUOTE] Found that post: [quote=4R1LL3RY;35254051]Any of you using the custom crosshair overlay someone posted in the hi-rez forums? You can have any crosshair you can make. Magenta/Neon Green crosshair makes me feel nostalgic. Mine is pretty beefy though because of so much sniping, have a large enough center dot to focus on, have something both horizontal and vertical to lead people. [url]http://forum.hirezstudios.com/phpbb/...?f=313&t=64227[/url][/quote] and it looks like you'll need a program called AutoHotKey, and a script written by a member of the HiRez forums (All of this is covered in the link in the above post). Basically, you run your Tribes borderless, and disable the ingame crosshair. Then, you hit your hotkey to run the script, which overlays the image of your choice. Hit another hotkey to switch to your alternate crosshair. I was interested, but I don't want to be restricted to just two crosshairs. I'd have a general one, and then I'd have to choose between a sniper, mortar, shotgun, and grenade launcher crosshairs--shotguns because the crosshair's automatic red coloring makes it easy to know when to fire for damage. So I'll stick to default.

i know this probably pales in comparison to some of you but im pretty proud of this match after only playing this game for a few days. [img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/DAm4F.jpg[/img_thumb] i had two triple kills and multiple sprees :D

I came from a match on Nox Averna where us techs were generally raped 24/7 by heavy offensive guys partying it up in the Generator room, everyone else was at the enemy base and they were all in our base.

Is the Steam Starter pack actually worth it, might get back into this after I got bored of the beta.

[QUOTE=xxncxx;36586498]Is the Steam Starter pack actually worth it, might get back into this after I got bored of the beta.[/QUOTE] It comes with 50% XP boost and others, but I like to earn my stuff slowly, keeps the game fun. Rate me dumb if you wasted your $10

[QUOTE=The golden;36586670][t]http://filesmelt.com/dl/2012-07-01_00002.jpg[/t] Look at the score difference. How do you fuck up this badly[/QUOTE] people treating the game mode like tdm

I love it when the enemy team insists on attacking our generator and waging a deathmatch in the generator room despite there being no defences on our flag

I checked out custom servers and the one I played on had tacticals and orbitals cost only 1 credit, needless to say it was a clusterfuck of epic proportions and even the most sincere seeming person was a hypocrite. Never again.

So I bought the steam starter pack and nothing showed up on my account. Wonderful.

So Altimor wants me to post here and tell you guys to add him if you want to playtest Tribes Ascend Classic or something [url]http://steamcommunity.com/id/altimor/[/url] anyway I'll be showing myself out thanks for your time

what is t:a classic

Just got a team kill from an orbital strike on tartarus. VGW

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;36588440]what is t:a classic[/QUOTE] It's a modification for ascend that changes stuff to bring it closer to the feel of classic tribes games (3 weapons per class, medkits, thrust vectoring, lots of tweaks)

[QUOTE=Idzo;36588598]Just got a team kill from an orbital strike on tartarus. VGW[/QUOTE] Tartarus is easy, do it on temples.

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;36585168]Does anyone have any tips for hitscan weapons? I find it incredibly hard to hit anything at any distance with a dot.[/QUOTE] If you use the shotgun, don't even consider the two lange circles in the crosshair, but just the bold dot in the middle. It's not hard, once you land one well-aimed shot a light or medium with half life will surely go down. The pistol is quite different. try to follow the player silhouette and spam the fire button like no tomorrow. no matter if you hit an arm or a leg, the damage is still 100 per hit at somewhat close range. Works fantastic on people running away. If you're in doubt between pistol and shotgun for the tech, go for the shotgun. between soldier's thumper d/dx and pistol goes to personal preference. I use the pistol since i like survivalist the most as a secondary perk.

Played for about an hour and I already love the game. :3

I love how my friend is only level 5 and I can join her games as a level 15.
