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

One of the female voices sounds more like a little boy trying to sound badass than an actual woman.
Hirez must compensate by giving us a Mr. T voice to fit the skin.
If any of you want to practice Shrike runovers, play CaH. You aren't targeted as much due to the chaos on the ground and since its not as popular you'll get grouped with low levels which make for easy kills.
Oh wow, I just got top score in CaH with a ping that kept going between 200-400. It wasn't that bad actually, I just had to lead my shots more than normal, but it just felt really weird.
Damn, you sure do get a lot of death threats for using an Australian voice pack. Never before have I received so much hate. I think I've even been reported for using it. :v:

Gen defence with thumper is the definition of a useless TCN.

Exactly how is giving up a SMG for a stick that shoots explosions useless? You still have the repair tool and the deployable turrets.

This route has been working well for me, I haven't seen anyone else use it so I made a video :v:

You're in the gen room.

that's a pretty standard route in comp.
things that make this game not fun
indoor mortar spam
sticky grenade spam
fractal spam
spam in general
[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;37055232]You're in the gen room.[/QUOTE]
I think only the scrubbiest of TCNs actually sit in the gen room and don't leave. I've not seen it happen much.
I just generally ski/jetpack around the base and repair the turrets/radar/kill bitches near the flag and ski through the gen room every few minutes to check up on it. If I somehow know there's an enemy in the gen room i'll usually stop what i'm doing to go defend it, but i'm generally very mobile with my defense regimen. Playing like this usually puts me in the top five on team at least in full ctf servers (unless the team has 6 other technicians or something silly like that).
Or maybe you're implying the generator is completely useless and anyone who gives any amount of fuck about it is wasting time, but if you're not giving a fuck about base assets there's really no point in being technician over doombringer or something if you're defending.
Flag > Base at all times

Please be sarcastic, I will literally beat you with your own toenails.

Part of the team concept is that you can count on other people doing other jobs so that you don't have to.
Honestly if you're going to push all efforts around the flag technician is a useless class. You're much better playing doombringer, or even soldier, because your damage output and survivability is much improved. Technician has no real niche besides base asset maintenance and indoor fighting, the light turrets don't have high enough damage output or reliability to justify choosing him over another class for any sort of pure point-defense work.
And i'm not trying to shit over your philosophy or anything, because it has truth to it. There's a reason competitive teams don't really use technician or care about the generator, but that mindset takes coordination and a baseline skill level you can't count upon in pub matches. I'm just saying that if your strategy is to negate base assets and focus on player skill there's no reason to be technician.

In a 32 player ctf pub server base assets are usually crucial however, so the technician is still a very useful class in the mainstream game. Personally my favorite. I love skiing around the base keeping everything working and killing bitches on the flagstand/interior.
it's funny because on a map like arx novena i can usually handle keeping up all the base defences, as well as my turrets on the stand, using the vanilla tech class (as long as there isn't more than 3-4 dedicated generhaters like inf/jugg/brute harrassing me)

You've obviously never been roaming D as a TCN with the thumper and shotgun.
And I'm not basing it on skill, I'd rather have 8 people defending my flag than 4 people defending the flag and 3 in the gen and one in the middle of fuck knows where.
(The other 8 would be off on O)
if there's five or more enemies dedicated to taking out the gen the solution is to not play technician, either go soldier/jugg and fuck them up, or just do something else and utilise the fact that half their team is missing from the real game
Why do I seem to steadily get worse at games the longer I play?
This happened in BF3 too, it's like I have brain cancer.

as player skill increases.... you go back in time?

i get this in every game, the cure is not playing for a while
but you can't stop you're the only good teammate

So according to my analyzing of this curve, you first have a bit slow progress than the average FPS player, then you suddenly get a spike and get a lot better (I'd assume that would be the time you get a new weapon or pop an energy drink), then as it starts to flatten out, you go back in time and exploit your time traveling abilities to get a lot better at the game.
What your curve tells me is that you are a time traveling wizard and can suddenly get better than an average person during a short period of time. Also, according to the "Average FPS"-curve I can see you are a cunt toward casual gamers.
