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

[QUOTE=kapin_krunch;37577051]So, I got a new computer that can finally play this game and I am 10 mins away from downloading it. Anything I need to know before I start playing for the first time?[/QUOTE] depends on how long ago you played. Also mines stuck on 98% and steam wont download asdfasdf

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;37577150]depends on how long ago you played. Also mines stuck on 98% and steam wont download asdfasdf[/QUOTE] I think you misunderstood me, I have [I]never[/I] played this before. What's the best weapons/class to start with?

PTH, SLD and JUG are generally regarded as the classes that can do everything, maybe concentrate on PTH or SLD to start. The other classes are very role specific. Add me in game, I'm ZombieDawgs, I'll try to help you out. (I'm on a laptop so you rank 1 scrubs have a chance)

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;37530711]upcoming patch notes [url]http://forum.hirezstudios.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=313&t=88583[/url] [editline]4th September 2012[/editline] HEY GUYS YOU CAN GO FAST BUT YOU CAN'T GO TOO FAST. hirez is stupid to put in flag drag, instead of making capping slower, they need to make chasing faster.[/QUOTE] I like the change. Nobody likes the guy who comes in at 400 sanics and captures the flag in 3 seconds.

Yeah its perfect in pubs And in custom servers it can be modified so i dont see any harm

Plus you can still go fast and come in for the flag at 400 sanics but once you hit it you slow down quickly so you can't span the distance between bases in 3 seconds. Going fast (250+) is still useful for the approach run.

Is it worth buying gold? I don't want to buy it if its really easy to get XP but I've only played for like 2 days and I don't know much yet. Also on the homepage, it says "The hardest shooter. ever." Is it just me or is it not hard at all..?

For people who are used to generic shooters the aiming in this game makes it hard to kill. Also is it wrong I use the Arx Buster for PVP?

All I ever played was CoD and Battlefield but I picked this up pretty quickly. [editline]7th September 2012[/editline] Lol, I love playing CTF though, its funny watching people yell because they can't hit me cause of how fast I ski.

Theoretically. [editline]8th September 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Zerokateo;37582718]All I ever played was CoD and Battlefield but I picked this up pretty quickly.

All pathfinders are glorious martyrs

Are things ever going to improve in Tribes? I'm close to uninstalling it out of simple disappointment. This isn't the game I loved in the Beta, and it feels like it's been steadily getting worse. What the hell is Hi-Rez doing with it, and do I have anything to look forwards to?

Motherfucking fractal grenades are like specifically designed to piss you the fuck off when your generator room is being raped by juggies and you're desperately trying to clear them out and repair it. Doesn't help that my team never gives a shit either. I'm not going to be able to take on 2+ juggies as a technician, especially not without that 88k thumper that I will rot to bones before I get the XP to purchase.

Also because the rest of the brutes with those counter-fractals in your server are busy being retarded elsewhere. OH THE INFILTRATORS WILL TOTALLY DEAL WITH IT I'LL JUST CAP TEH FLAG INSTEAD

[QUOTE=Beetle179;37596654]Most people don't come help you in the gen room because your time is much better spent on the surface defending the flag, the generator really doesn't help much[/QUOTE] But I'm not gonna do much for flag defense if my turrets don't work.

[QUOTE=slashsnemesis;37601028]But I'm not gonna do much for flag defense if my turrets don't work.[/QUOTE] You'll be surprised how effective the SMG is.

Anyone got a link to minecraft.ini? Game is horribly optimized and runs at 30fps on minimum on the laptop. The laptop can run Metro 2033 on high at a better FPS :I

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;37602159]Anyone got a link to [B]minecraft.ini[/B]?[/QUOTE] What?

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;37602159]Anyone got a link to minecraft.ini? Game is horribly optimized and runs at 30fps on minimum on the laptop. The laptop can run Metro 2033 on high at a better FPS :I[/QUOTE] Cool, my pc can run BF3 at high with around 40-50 fps.

[QUOTE=doomsniper;37602117]You'll be surprised how effective the SMG is.[/QUOTE] you should use soldier for flag D instead. prox nades, survival pack and thumper will help greatly.

Prox nades will be nerfed in the next update. so yeah. I don't think they needed a nerf. Hell I even remember them buffing them some time ago.

[QUOTE=Petrussen;37603234]Cool, my pc can run BF3 at high with around 40-50 fps.[/QUOTE] i can run mechwarrior online at 60 fps, but i have to use a custom.ini to have a stable 80 fps on ta.

I play this game on the lowest settings and it seems to run quite smooth for me. I play on a laptop.

I heard Emporium is going through a rough patch, what's going on Beardy? Are you guys done? [editline]9th September 2012[/editline] Also, Zombie, [url=http://pastebin.com/dBDCz71P]minecraft.ini/phanakapan's .ini[/url]
