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

I finished my exams yesterday and as we were all leaving the room I pumped the air and said 'VGW' out loud. Funny looks were had. Two hours later I had three of my classmates ask over FB for my Tribes Ascend profile name. Played some games and had a ball. <3

Yeah, well, we'll see if the newbloods matches us up! Then we'll see!

So, last time I played this in closed beta. The game got somewhat broken and I deleted it, but now I just can't install it back, the installer doesn't give me the option to install it. :(

[editline]24th May 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=mac338;36076317]I got a bit tired of never unlocking anything but I never spend money on micro-transactions ever. My limit is DLC. Either way, I returned after about a month of not playing and suddenly... maps I'd never seen before. Loadsa new stuff. I loved the new woodland map.[/QUOTE] You don't really need to pay with microtransactions. Buying the $30 or $50 gold package gets you a lot of stuff if you only spend it on the deal of the day.

I feel useless as shit when I'm not indoors as DBR.

you know who I hate most? Paths who throw thwmselves into the Arms of the Enemy HoF and start screaming "WHAT THE FUCK IS MY TEAM DOING?" Sure cos you're the only good guy on the whole team. Never mind me trying to disrupt their defence, there HoF and mines were dead a moment ago, while you were ranting.

[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;36085753]I feel useless as shit when I'm not indoors as DBR.[/QUOTE] Buy mines... Also, general question...why is so many players suicideing after missing flag stand or something like that?

[QUOTE=Dummkopfs!;36085786]Buy mines... Also, general question...why is so many players suicideing after missing flag stand or something like that?[/QUOTE] And mines are going to help me outside how

[QUOTE=Dummkopfs!;36085786]Also, general question...why is so many players suicideing after missing flag stand or something like that?[/QUOTE] Because they probably know that doing a 180° turn after missing the flag and grabbing it at a low velocity is going to get themselves killed and it allows chaser to drop the flag you grabbed in an area that is easily defendable. So killing yourself lets you restart your route almost instantly and won't mess up the team.

It's like saying it is raining while it pours down. I didn't know captain obvious was working for blood eagle. I also feel annoyed by the fact that I get messages about the flag being taken or retrieved when I am repairing the generator. I wish there were some kind of message filter where you could choose to not hear things concerning the base structures or the flag.

[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;36085849]And mines are going to help me outside how[/QUOTE] Booby trap the flag stand, just don't place them directly under the flag and spread them around. Most Pathfinders shoot flagstand once before they steal the flag and get hit by the surviving mines. Claymores are huge and easy to notice yet this works with them as well, it's like free kills.

I can't exactly throw them at people. edit; And fractals are really starting to piss me off. Before the update, when there was like, one brute on the server it wasn't so bad. Now there's fucking fractals everywhere.

[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;36085753]I feel useless as shit when I'm not indoors as DBR.[/QUOTE] Get better at the chain gun, it's one of the most powerful weapons in the whole game if you're able to effectively drill people with it, and the bullets are massive too edit: for example you can hit people as far away as the bridge in arx novena and still be doing 100 damage per hit, it's just so stronk

I got 16000 XP yesterday while playing a few guys on a custom server, lol.

So, is there any solution to this loading screen bug? The one where you get stuck there, the main menu music playing and you have to close the game with task manager?

Bought the thumper ahahaha I'm never equipping that smg again

[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;36088959]Bought the thumper ahahaha I'm never equipping that smg again[/QUOTE] why not? it's perfect for chasing

I thought it was supposed to be double XP weekend? I played a couple rounds and I'm not getting double XP.

SMG's are higher in skill to use but are absolutely beast in open field combat. Sure, my spinfuser can one shot blue plate a light, but that's not gauranteed? I do know every time I left any SMG from any class rip im going to deal a shit ton of damage.

[QUOTE=Clio;36089026]why not? it's perfect for chasing[/QUOTE] Why in the world would you chase as a tech?

Game day for Shazpunch in about an hour and a half! If anyone is streaming, catch our first Newbloods Tournament game!

The other day I was carrying the flag on Raindance, I was badly wounded and about halfway to my base. So I tried punting, it was perfect, I hit the flag, killing me, and it flew and landed right on our flag stand so someone could cap it. I tried it a few more times when I couldn't make it back to base, never worked again.

So brute is pretty good [img]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8159/7275136046_67521806ae_b.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=DrasarSalman;36089257]Why in the world would you chase as a tech?[/QUOTE] Why not? techs are perfectly equipped for flag def & chasing

I think I'm gonna get the Falcon, Sentinel is probably my favourite class. I play him as light defense, laying claymores everywhere and killing people with Nova Blaster, I'm never camping in one spot but I do snipe the flag carriers and spamming fatties. I get lots of kills that way and Falcon would make my job even easier.
