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

Bounty hunter, to buy or not to buy? To be used on LO soldier or LD combat tech. Which perks do you use for these two? I usually have safety third + survivalist, but one more grenade isn't that necessary to a tech.

No

I like to make my tech the main vehicle user. LO soldier and LD combat tech do well with looter, survivalist and faster weapon switch perk. Safety third is good for the LO soldier.

If you're going Safety First on Soldier, get proxies. They may look shitty, but they're really strong versus cappers.

An extra grenade also comes in handy if you are using short fuse grenades. I find them really useful in dueling heavies.

[QUOTE=Espio;36721108]Oh, I just assumed you needed to be in the back seat because all my attempts with the front seat felt very weak I might have just been in bad spots or something I guess![/QUOTE] It works similarly to the shrike except you come out at usually ~10 less speed, the back seat bail is also a bug so if somebody catches you doing that you can be penalized for it so the bail out one is usually the best way to do it.

Anyway to actually browse servers?

Tribes Ascend has really shot down since the first launch on Steam. :v:

I've said it before, but I'd love a more casual team deathmatch with emphasis on vehicular combat. Like, multiple vehicle stations with cheaper prices, or, vehicles which spawn in the map naturally. And I'd be incredibly grateful for tighter controls on the vehicles, like: Shrikes: Higher default mouse sensitivity when flying Strafing controls via sidejets (which maybe use up energy) Gravcycles: Better turning power (Right now you can actually use A and D to bank a tiny bit, but it barely helps turn) Allow the Doombringer to use the Saber Launcher from the backseat Higher camera placement, so the bike doesn't block the crosshair aiming at targets of equal elevation Beowulfs: Sideways strafing, [i]please[/i] Higher camera placement [b]I know, I know, a lot of this sounds just like Halo,[/b] but hey, the series has really good vehicle play. I understand that were vehicles used more often, these upgrades would make sense, so that's why I wish there was a separate gametype (maybe Vehicular CTF/TDM) so it wouldn't screw up normal and competitive Tribes gameplay. It's just a shame, the Shrike, Gravcycle, and Beowulf are loads of fun with friends, and there's already a large amount of teamwork necessary for this game. So it's too bad when you realize that barely anybody chooses to go in on a gravcycle to wreak havoc as a Raider or Juggernaut, which is LOADSAFUN when you do.

WHAT [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ssQxOatkBw&feature=plcp[/media] [editline]13th July 2012[/editline] chirno just mad he doesn't play competitively and he's stuck in lowly peasantville known as bronze pubs.

Question, is it possible to trade tf2 items for steam starter pack?

sure if you find the right person to trade with.

Well then, it doesnćt harm in posting here, looking for starter pack, giving Bills hat for it (i'm not in the loop with prices, but i thing bills will suffice)

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;36747658]WHAT [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ssQxOatkBw&feature=plcp[/media][/QUOTE] Reminds me of the time back on the FP server where someone was driving around in a tank. I tried entering the tank from the enemy team and ended up driving it. The guy driving it died somehow.

We had a server?

Yeah, that's where these came from: [thumb]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10565588/Game%20pictures/TribesAscend%202012-04-26%2022-57-36-27.png[/thumb] [thumb]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10565588/Game%20pictures/TribesAscend%202012-04-26%2023-12-21-03.png[/thumb]
