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

[QUOTE=MadPro119;35741267]Any good tutorials on using the Jackal successfully?[/QUOTE] Step 1: Don't.

Step 2: Play a useful class instead.

1. Spam in general direction 2. Detonate in midair 3. Repeat 4 ??? 5. PROFIT

[QUOTE=Ripper Roo;35741419]1. Spam in general direction 2. Detonate in midair 3. Repeat 4 ??? 5. PROFIT[/QUOTE] That is gonna be Hi Rez new motto for all new pack releases.

[QUOTE=Ripper Roo;35741419]1. Spam in general direction 2. Detonate in midair 3. Repeat 4 ??? 5. PROFIT[/QUOTE] Detonating in midair is a great way to kill absolutely nothing with the jackal

why is the media in the OP tiny pictures? shouldn't it be thumbnails?

[QUOTE=Foogooman;35741516]Detonating in midair is a great way to kill absolutely nothing with the jackal[/QUOTE] But that's exactly what I see most Infiltrators doing with it.

[QUOTE=Clio;35741547]why is the media in the OP tiny pictures? shouldn't it be thumbnails?[/QUOTE] it is thumnailed... remove _th in url

[QUOTE=TehLeetPenguin;35738991]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[/QUOTE] Because the gen room is so horrible to attack, it means there are no gen room parties (unless you're turtling with the flag). Making the map amazing for cappers/chasers/sentinels, not so much for fatties or gen offense.

i think titan might stream his coaching session with our team later on today, but don't count me on that. [url]http://www.twitch.tv/51titan[/url] it'll be around 2 pm eastern.

lol titan gets like 70 viewers now, i remember when it was like 5 of us watching him fun times

Hot damn, Spinfusor + Eagle Pistol = great fun for Soldier. I never used the Thumper DX anyways, and I got pretty good at the Inf's pistol that I thought replacing the thumper would be a good choice. Turns out I was right, damn thing is great for finishing off airborne players while I'm on the ground. Oh, and another thing... is anyone getting a sort of 'sticky' effect when using normal jetpack, rather than jump+jetpack? As in, I'll jetpack smoothly for a tiny bit, then a split second later I'll jump up into the air. It's not the same as jump+jetpack, since it's a lot jerkier and isn't meant to happen.

Is 42 v Dest a normal amount for a juggernaut, and what the hell does it mean anyway?

Vehicles destroyed.

does it count stuff like light turrets and forcefields?

So,yeah,i encountered an aimbotter. He played tech and his bullets hit everyone EVERY TIME! We were unable to kick him. Apparently his excuse is that he has cancer. I doubt that.

[QUOTE=TurbisV2;35743636]does it count stuff like light turrets and forcefields?[/QUOTE] Must do, I was hammering a point on Dry Docks Night C&H that had 5 techs on it the entire game...

[QUOTE=iLife_Aftermath;35738731]Always fun to play against a rank ~30 who only plays sentinel Why won't they let me go fast[/QUOTE] better than obsidian scrubs spamming mortars in the gen room and nothing else

[QUOTE=Idzo;35743758]So,yeah,i encountered an aimbotter. He played tech and his bullets hit everyone EVERY TIME! We were unable to kick him. Apparently his excuse is that he has cancer. I doubt that.[/QUOTE] were we in the same game? there was a guy who everybody called a hacker and when the votekick came up i first pressed f5 for no, but it didn't register so i just pressed f6 to see if it would register and it did but it said that i voted no the supposed hackers name was vrgs or something silly like that

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;35739091]I also hate the generator room on Sunstar. It's so open it's impossible to defend.[/QUOTE] Small gen room: Easy to spam, huge shitfest Big gen room: It's like I'm hitting nothing at all

apparently they changed the keys for votekicking without updating the ui [url]http://forum.hirezstudios.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=314&t=69716[/url]

[QUOTE=Ripper Roo;35741419]1. Spam in general direction 2. Detonate in midair 3. Repeat 4 ??? 5. PROFIT[/QUOTE] Remove step 2 and you have the plasma gun, yesterday I spammed it until I killed the EFC I feel so dirty

800k registered accounts... HiRez aiming for a million Also, plasma gun nerfed, should i spend xp on it now?

Plasma gun is still a dick move to use in my eyes but its literally impossible to bitch about it now that its massive hitbox was reduced. I'd buy it

i'd rather get the grenades as they seem way more ideal for clearing flagstands

[QUOTE=TurbisV2;35744510]i'd rather get the grenades as they seem way more ideal for clearing flagstands[/QUOTE] Is not that good for flagstands, whiteout still the best.

So i updated my game, now its repairing, ive been at 8,8%, 20 minute later its at 8,9%, cant i just skip the repair?

I don't even think i was aware of it, but i do recall seeing Heavies just flying from the middle straight to the base entrance and slaughtering everyone inside it, because the inventory station before was like a menu, so you had a line of people waiting their turn, the most impatient people would shoot the people out of the stations. I recall piloting my scout, park it behind the big hill next to the flag stand, ninja the flag and run back to the scout. But now that we have played it for a while i wouldn't mind seeing a revamped Raindance with tweeked base and flag stand.
