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

Tribes is about how you use the weapon though, not what level you are. Plus that system doesn't work for Ascend. And you still get massively OP weapons even if you need a certain level to unlock it, it just means that when they do, it'll be less obvious they suck and that it's just their weapon.

I'mma just keep thumping with my thumper. [editline]25th July 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=DrasarSalman;36927682]I support the pay money to look fabulous, it is the complete opposite of pay2win. Still skins don't need to be ranked, that would just be to keep people playing and there is no reason to do that for a free 2 play game. I've recently been playing another F2P multiplayer online shooter called Blacklight Retribution, it is basically F2P CoD so there is no need for a better description except that it has a better RPG system. Still, how it differs from tribes ascend is that it has a renting system where you for in-game currency can rent a weapon or a weapon part for a small amount of in-game currency. The problem is, you can pay for it with real-life currency. Why is this a problem you may ask, even tribes is doing this and it seems to work quite well. The difference between tribes and BLR is that Blacklight has levels, meaning you can't unlock a weapon with in-game currency before a certain level and the micro-transactions ignore this with a "early access" system where you can get what you want, when you want. A big problem with this is that like in tribes, some of these items are a straight upgrade or provide superior gameplay styles such as one-shot snipers and cloaks. Trying to get away from the higher level players, I joined a level 1-10 server to get beaten up by a guy with a hammer unlocked at level 25. So Blacklight does use the pay to save time model, but the items you can get are not available to anyone at that point. What this has to do with the topic is: I am happy to get back to tribes where everything is available to anyone for in-game currency, except from cosmetic items and boosters and the only form of progression is a system that defines the experience of the people you play against.[/QUOTE] That game is so slowwwwww. I play too much Tribes.

got the Ms. Wilderzone voicepack to make my friends cringe

how much do the new stuffs cost?(xp/gold everything)

Finally decided to reinstall Tribes and give it a go, So much has changed! What with the class based skins and custom matches.

When there's a few people dedicated to taking down the gen, Tech is so fun. That is, until the heavy brigade come to share their fractals with me.

Good thing fractals got a blanket nerf then

[QUOTE=DarkWolf2;36929327]Good thing fractals got a blanket nerf then[/QUOTE] Doesn't make that much difference when there's enough of them exploding around your gen room to supply a few world wars

Shit it's going to take me forever to grind 50k more XP for the twinfusor. Might just buy more gold so I can also get the aussie voice.

Is the patch out?

Yes and the servers are online

It's released?

Just tried it out. I'm in love with Juggernauts.

would be funny if they replaced "Awesome" for "NOICE" for the Australian pack

crash whenever i try to join a game gj [editline]25th July 2012[/editline] oh and the aussie voice sounds really fakey

Temple Ruins may actually be playable now.

What's the random georgia.org/media advert?

[QUOTE=SataniX;36931469]What's the random georgia.org/media advert?[/QUOTE] Probably Hi-rez's publisher or something, because it's in Global Agenda, too.

[QUOTE=Unib5;36931056]Temple Ruins may actually be playable now.[/QUOTE] It's even worse than before.

Sure am glad I got the Stealth Spinfusor instead of the Jackal. What's everyone's opinion on all the perk buffs though? Complete immunity to vehicle run-over seems kinda overdone, but I guess that'll be a great way to deter all the shrike chasing all the time. Those things were getting annoying as shit when people figured out that all you need to do is ram everybody who dares jet into the air. But on the same point of overdoing it, complete immunity to fall damage seems kind of intense too. That kind of seems like it negates any purpose to using lightweight anymore since instead of accelerating faster at the cost of health regen you can just always accelerate and never worry about getting hurt in the process. I kind of think it seems like they pushed most of those buffs too far, but maybe it was to provide more reason to care about perks. Double backstab damage is certainly going to be fun for me though, I was already making good use of the 50% extra in combination with stickying my victims a moment before. I can't try the new patch until my laptop comes back from being fixed. The backlight burnt out right before this patch went live :c Only had it for four or five months too.

Reminds of a time I was playing as infiltrator-- I had just capped the flag. I'm practically home free when, lo-and-behold, a grav cycle catches up to me. Rhino isn't doing shit, I'm not skiing efficiently because I'm constantly turned around. After trying to shoot me and missing, he aligns behind me and starts speeding up again to run me over. Just as he's about to run into me I jet straight up, spam my sticky grenades down as he passes under me, and I watch him surge ahead as I land. As I'm thinking, "of course it didn't work" [I]he fucking explodes and I ski through the smoke. [/I] :eng101:

Well my graphics card won't let me play. I could play yesterday just fine but now I'm getting error messages when I try to launch any game. Have fun going fast without me.

[QUOTE=liltourette;36931623]It's even worse than before.[/QUOTE] Why do you say this? I find my FPS increase actually makes so I don't chop around from seeing a ton of smoke every cubic inch.
