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

Just started playing this game today. It's both fun and frustrating at the same time. Frustrating because I'm still not great at skiing and shooting at the same time. Fun as hell though.

I'll be hitting gold badge soon and I'm afraid my cheap claymore tactics may stop working, the thought scares me. Also, yesterday I was being useless piece of juggerfat, spamming flagstand on Temple Ruins. When I decided to ski off the hill, I crashed with an enemy Pathfinder. I said VGH and prepared for self defense, but he just VGH'd back and didn't attack, so we stood in place for a second, exchanged VGWs and carried on with our business.

I've buried myself in Pathfinder. When I try other classes I suck because I can't adapt to how slow they are in comparison, and how much heavier they feel.

it's adventure time with andrew (anarchyao) as he delves into the world of fashion where swimming trunks cost $75 and a personal fashionista from j.crew will respond to you if you need fashion tips.

Am I the only one getting very few XP when playing as pathfinder capper ? Even when capping all 5 flags, I merely get more than 100 bonus XP, and when I played Jug for the first time yesterday I topped the scoreboard and got a four digits XP reward. How is bonus XP calculated, anyway ?

Kinda makes the reductions on item prices feel a bit scammy.

which of the new weapons are pretty much straight upgrades? the rocket launcher seems pretty good.

Since I started playing doombringer I stopped worrying about x1lmg jugs. Now everytime I switch to soldier, my main class, as soon as I meet a x1lmg jug I wish I was a doombringer instead. :(

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;36314328]I really miss being low level. The game is so innocent and [del]easy[/del] not rage inducing when you're low level.[/QUOTE] It feels like they need to separate the ranks a bit more. I'm only rank 11 or 12 and I'm tired of going up against Commanders and other high ranking people who live and breathe Tribes. Plus they tend to stack teams. Which Hi-Rez STILL HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS

Which Hi-Rez STILL HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS[/QUOTE] I really wish I had a way to reset my rank or level down my rank. Simply put, I'm not very good at tribes and I don't have the skill to compete with players in matches any more. Any time I play I'm always on the loosing side (I've played over 25 matches without a win most recently) and I'm lucky to get an assist or a kill. I spend most of my time playing tribes getting bounced around by explosives or dying. It's very... discouraging.

try playing on a new account until you get better?

I rarely play in balanced games, usually one team stomps another. It's fun to be on the winning side though :v:

I hear the new Technician SMG is op, is that true, because if it is, im gonna buy it.

prolly gonna get nerfed

What most people don't realize when they pick up the Rockwind is how fast the TCN4 can actually fire

actualy rockwind dps is lower than tcn4. but thats assuming you hit every bullet on both.

[QUOTE=C4rnage;36330179]actualy rockwind dps is lower than tcn4. but thats assuming you hit every bullet on both.[/QUOTE] wrong. rockwind with 24 bullets landing at full damage is 2880. tcn4 with 32 bullets landing at full damage is 2560. [editline]14th June 2012[/editline] for sure the rockwind and gast's rifle are straight upgrades from the originals, but the rockwind is going to be nerfed because the rof is bugged and is higher than what it should be.

-snip-

Just topped the score board with my sentinel w/ 18 kills and 9 assists. I fucking love this class.

Playing infiltrator without any upgrades of any sort is very.. unrewarding. A sticky in some medium's ass leaves him with a pip of life.. and the one with a sticky on him will most of the time get close to you and make you suicide. Also there are no mean to destroy turrets at a distance with the default weapons. You gotta get close and grenade. If you try to accomplish the 'assets distruption' role, you either have a spinfusor/jackal or die by a level 0 turret aaaaaall the time..

Same goes for the sensor. You can destroy the tech's turrets with just 1 shot from the pistol and a meelee. Aside from that,the inf's primary weps are always upgrades from the previous ones (the smgs < s. spin < jackal). Trust me,when you get either the spinfusor or the jackal, things will get more fun for you.
