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

Just tried out the gladiator. I got 2 back to back airmails on some pathies at the start of the match. :v:

So... are all matches 24/7 gen room party now? :v:

my team will be playing the first game of the newbloods tournament tonight at 9 pm eastern. we are requesting tribescast to stream and commentate it, but if that doesn't go through we will be having our capper and our hof stream.

[QUOTE=C4rnage;36054214]yea never understand why they just dont say "Jackal got its damage reduced from X to Y"[/QUOTE] Because the damage works on a gradient. It doesn't always do X damage. You could use the direct hit damage for X and Y but that doesn't really represent it best. Better to use a percentage that applies to the entire damage scale.

[QUOTE=krail9;36058120]wow the new update is actually pretty fair and balanced [editline]23rd May 2012[/editline] and now the plasma rifle is actually ok! holy shit what's happened to hirez?![/QUOTE] It was the same way with global agenda. Things got progressively better balanced when updates came out as time went on.

I'm disappointed that they aren't any skins for the Brute. Instead of the normal "merc with no helmet" they could have given him a disco suit. :(

Goofy skins are the best way to make money in this game, fuck the lore, If it means I can see a raving brute alongside a tuxedo doombringer I don't care. Also the gladiator is ridiculously underpowered comparatively.

i dont have gladiator unlocked or even the brute. but based on training tests cant see why someone would use that instead of heavyfusor

[QUOTE=C4rnage;36059675]i dont have gladiator unlocked or even the brute. but based on training tests cant see why someone would use that instead of heavyfusor[/QUOTE] I can see a million reasons why you'd use the plasma cannon over the auto shotty/colt though.

The buffed Rage perk seems to be a bit glitchy at the moment. I was standing right on the Raindance flag stand and it only activated at 1/3 of the flag grabs. Once or twice it didn't activate when I was jetting straight up to the flag stand so perhaps you have to always have vision of the flag for it to even activate. Nontheless the mass reduction is incredible for chasing every single sub 200 flag carrier that somehow managed to grab your flag with a back to front.

I want to change the tribes ascend music with the Tribes 2 music. Anyone got an idea how to do that?

stream is up. [url]www.twitch.tv/tribescast[/url]

Got my first team kill with a perfect orbital I think it killed 8 of the heavies who were defending the stand and the gen entrance. [img]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/578956687711465732/7D722742BB59A4396974D6A3474AEDE9AB66FBA9/[/img]

[QUOTE=The golden;36060112]You can? Because I can't. The thing about the secondaries is that they are good for picking off flying targets that are harassing you, fleeing targets, or finishing off wounded targets. Why would you want to have two guns equipped that both fulfill the same role?[/QUOTE] And you just explain why I dont change the nova colt. Hitscan finishing off is pretty sweet.

Got one of my friends to start playing this game with a referral code, and joined a match they were in. It was full of a bunch of new players all below rank 5. I had fun raping the enemy team :v:

game is done, my team did a ridiculous amount of bullshit by not knowing how to hold onto the flag during standoff.

[editline]22nd May 2012[/editline] [I]Two primaries![/I][/QUOTE] Except two primaries are most likely never a good idea since they fill the same role, having one primary and a finisher is usually the best combination.

I'm finding out that the playing as Sentinel is heavily reliant on having a good ping. The internet where I'm at can be really inconsistent and once the ping starts to rise it gets a lot harder to hit things. The Nova Colt is affected especially because then there is a delay between when you shoot and where the projectile actually fires.

Played for a bit, saw [I]one[/I] guy using the gladiator and plasma cannon. And he had lower score than all the other brutes. :v:

I'm rolling plasma cannon and Heavy 'fusor right now, It's working out rather well, The plasma cannon is good for up close and personal due to smaller splash radius.

Im thinking of getting back into tribes Did they ever nerf my beloved Thumper?

This is the first time I've played after and update and not been hugely raped by people with new weapons. This is enjoyable.

[QUOTE=Birdman101;36063569]Im thinking of getting back into tribes Did they ever nerf my beloved Thumper?[/QUOTE] Nope.

I wish I wasn't too busy to get a few rounds in on the new update. I'm definitely going to make use of those hours I should be sleeping in tonight. Anyway, just wanted to ask, are there any busy Tribes 2 or Vengeance servers in Australia? I want to give them a shot, but I don't want to download the game and find it dead.

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;36063708]Nope.[/QUOTE] excellent. Now, to fix my right click cutting out all the time, and I shall once again be one with the shaz.

[QUOTE=Birdman101;36063569]Im thinking of getting back into tribes Did they ever nerf my beloved Thumper?[/QUOTE] I'm rather sure I've read 3% damage reduction on the technician's Thumper in a patch some time ago Before the infiltrator updates I'm sure.

It still one shots lights thats all I know
