[QUOTE=DireAvenger;35950331]Oh my god I never realised that jammer pack stops all turrets targeting you

I could do [b]so much damage[/b][/QUOTE]

You're saying you've never read the description on an utility pack.

I really should place my investments more carefully

incredible

[Skyward]

I always try to join BE, but if doing so would stack the teams horribly, then I go DS.

[Reds]

It'd be interesting if they ever introduced one of the other tribes in some way into Ascend.

i just hope they dont do that by making them skins of DS/BE classes

[Hellborg 65]

Wait, there's an actual plot? Fuck, I always thought it was just a case of Red vs. Black.

Hopefully there is a structured wiki for the lore.

GOD DAMN FUCKING COCKBLOCKING LLAMAGRABBERS
I was going at 300 kph, straight towards the flag, for a back to front route on arx novena, and a fucking brute fucking steals the flag, i fly straight through the lfagstand, look back, and see him stand by the flagstand, shooting people, with the flag on his back, until he is killed... I was fucking spamming [VSAF] and [VFF] before i came, but that fucking big brute desperately wanted to get some llama grab points... I really hate this...

Hirez should introduce a "bug" that causes a game crash if you walk into the flag without getting an E-Grab.

There's still times when llama grabbing is useful

Thrust after grab, displacing the flag, moving it to a more accessible area, passing to a teammate that's faster.

I don't even know wtf stacking teams means

I just join a game and click blood eagle if it's available, otherwise I pick diamond sword, it doesn't matter at all past the announcer voice

Stacking teams is when all the level 30 somethings join one team, so the opposite team is left with lower level players (i.e. they have less unlocks and experience at the game)

Oh, I've never actually noticed this despite playing enough to be lvl 20

[fskman]

[QUOTE=Espio;35952496]Oh, I've never actually noticed this despite playing enough to be lvl 20[/QUOTE]

almost all of those 0-5 curbstomps? teamstacking (sometimes your team is just plain incompetent tho)

[spii0]

I don't even see 5-0 stomps enough to blame it on teamstacking, and even if that does happen it seems to even out over the next game because all the bad players join the team that just won, so you get a mix between the good players from that team actually getting into the team and the rest just having to play the opposite team

Also I didn't realise it would be relevant to this game but people seem to comment on my name quite a bit which is pretty cool (didn't think I'd ever be playing a game where the sonic franchise was in any way relevant)

[editline]14th May 2012[/editline]

I also don't think teamstacking is a deliberate thing, it's probably caused more by people wanting to play with friends and everyone wanting to play Blood Eagle so one team just ends up with a bunch of players that are higher lvl without them intending that to happen

[Kai-ryuu]

last game i played some guy got mad at my name w33dsm0k3 and went on a tyrade about how hirez should ban anyone that has numbers for letters in their name.

Super Heavy level 3 is so much fun.

Tried it as an infiltrator sneaking up on the flag as somebody is coming at you at 300 sanics?

[Eltro102]

I know that it says only 288 but if i held down spacebar it spazzed between -5000 and +5000 ish kph

For some reason I really dislike raindance, too much rain and not enough dance.

[Raidyr]

I don't like it on CTF or CaH.

Tartarus is pretty baller in both modes though.

Tartarus is really fun even though the flag is easy to take.

I stalled the enemy team by giving the flag carrier a ride on a Grav Cycle. There's nothing quite like driving around the FC with 1/2 the team chasing you and being blown up by the base turrets

I dont like arena or team deathmatch.

Just a cluster fuck of boltlauncher pathfinders, soldiers and plasma gun raiders.

[QUOTE=Catdaemon;35931102]Nah it's just terribly optimised. There's a stuttering bug which hi-rez seem to think is down to AMD but I think it's more down to the fact they can't code [b]anything[/b]. Stand on the generator and try to move and you'll see what I mean :v:[/QUOTE]

It's more of an unreal engine thing with inexperienced devs. EA's Unreal Engine based games runs perfectly fine for me, but SMNC, APBR and Tribes all run like shit(and all of them are using UE3).

[Sammun]

It's just me, or lately there have been a lot of smurf accounts?

[lapsus_]

You know what bothers me? That the first win of the day's accolade is like the relentless one. That Air mail and Hot air are the same. Same with flag grab, flag return and cap assist. and assist, investor and turret support.

What do you mean? The amount of exp and credits?
