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

[QUOTE=DireAvenger;36831218]He means that safefall may potentially negate the normal effects of Super Heavy, which allows you to kill enemies rapidly accelerating into you.[/QUOTE] That's what I wanted to know. Will safefall make you immune from hitting a heavy on flag aswell?

[QUOTE=joost1120;36829803]I never really understood this title. Shazbot means shit, right?[/QUOTE] It's an undefined swear word. You could substitute whatever you want in for it, really. [editline]18th July 2012[/editline] But it's usually for 'fuck' or 'shit'

[QUOTE=joost1120;36829803]I never really understood this title. Shazbot means shit, right?[/QUOTE] It's just a generic swearword, the title is a reference to this song: [video=youtube;-9hzO97Rj0Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9hzO97Rj0Y[/video]

And also, It's a classic tribes use of the VGS system to combine VGTG and VGS to say "I am the shazbot"

Dear Hi-Rez: I don't care for your goddamn reasons anymore, give us matchmaking so I don't have to play with under-15 ranks. Yours truly, butthurt.

What gun is exactly good for the raider? I keep seeing the deals of the day but im not sure what kind of gun i want for the raider. I like the grenade launcher at close quarters, but its hard as shit trying to not get killed by your own grenades, and it feels very very useless in open combat.

God damn, there is nothing more annoying in this game than a persistent Infiltrator hanging around your generator and your team won't throw down any drop jammers or motion sensors to reveal them. It's just constant death, never having power and constant flag capping as your base defences conk out entirely.

When you got 75k, might as well wait 18k more to get a useful tech weapon instead of a replacement for your grenades.

I agree that 75'000 for motion sensors is an outrageous price.

Just throw you TCNGs errywere! Everything will be dead!

I call them Technogrenades. Since they're the next best thing after Rave grenades.

Raiders, by the way, are incredible at close-quarters gen defense. Juggerfats and Brutes who wander in the gen room are too slow to avoid sticky explosives on the walls, and if you're outnumbered, use your pack shield. On Raindance, you fatties can kiss your gen room MIRV kills goodbye.

[QUOTE=The golden;36839927]All a brute has to do is throw a few fractal grenades into the room. What do you do then?[/QUOTE] you dance and hope for the best

then you chide yourself for thinking that a puny [I]raider [/I]could do anything against a mighty fatty

I feel worthless if I'm not top of the scoreboard, and it's happening more due to new matchmaking. I just feel like one of those players that just ends up straggling. I set stupid expectations sometimes.

ARX Buster is the manliest of all Raider weapons.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;36841280]ARX Buster is the manliest of all Raider weapons.[/QUOTE] Pff use the Grenade launcher and come back here. YOU AIN'T NO SHAZBOT. No seriously nothing beats spamming a bunch of 'nades that bounce of a wall and kill your enemy. Especially air mails with it.

raider is fun i just wish they didnt nerf ALL of his fukn defenses

[QUOTE=The golden;36839927]All a brute has to do is throw a few fractal grenades into the room. What do you do then?[/QUOTE] Change your vertical orientation, and chuck your grenade outside to hit him. If he throws a second one, then again, jetpack to a higher platform or jump down to a lower one, and shoot your ARX Buster outside. When he comes in, BAM-BAM-BAM.

Man.. The raider class is hard to use :v: i always suicide when i fight CQC because of da bombs.

[QUOTE=Foogooman;36831350]I doubt anyone is going to sacrifice their good perks for something that is sometimes useful.[/QUOTE] Obviously it wouldn't be a 24/7 switch, but if the enemy has a decent shriker, then would it make the shrike useless?

[QUOTE=Shoopiwoop;36842666]Man.. The raider class is hard to use :v: i always suicide when i fight CQC because of da bombs.[/QUOTE] That's why the Raider has 2 weapons

cloak sticky grenade profit

Aww, that's too - SHAZBOT

I love saying [VGY] when someone from the enemy team use the "Is that the best you can do?"-command, especially if it is directed to another player.

I'm really getting buyers remorse after buying the plasma gun. I mean I saw youtube videos of people shooting it like an actual gun, not shoot, wait wait wait, shoot like it is now. Did Hi-Rez nerf it to shit or what? Also the description said that the firerate was "significantly faster than all of the spinfusors", but it isnt even that much faster. i spent stupid 500 gold on it
