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

I can't shake all these smug doombringers since the accel update. My health is constantly being draained.

is thumper/shotty a good/fun loadout? I play LO pth with shotgun when I'm not piloting and i love it

It is if you want to be Tech who can't fix stuff.

I cant play raider for shit I can hit people just fine with a spinfusor or the thumper but the ARX and the grenade launcher just do not work for me except indoors

[QUOTE=Ripper Roo;36369451]It is if you want to be Tech who can't fix stuff.[/QUOTE] it sucks that you can't place turrets anywhere remotely near an enemy base now, fucks battletechs over massively and effectively negates the usefulness of any secondaries you're looking to buy/own

[QUOTE=The golden;36369561]They are both TERRIBLE dueling weapons. The arx is good for surprise attacks on heavies where you can shove stickies up their ass, but that's about it.[/QUOTE] I feel kinda stupid over how much exp I invested in raider compared to how well I do at it.

Fusnax get the fuck on please

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;36370109]Fusnax get the fuck on please[/QUOTE] Sorry but i dont know if i will be able to get on My internet company decided that it was a good day to dont have internet Did the match started already?

yeah but thankfully none of their team showed so we did the noble thing and let them have a chance (unlike shazbutt :v:)

A turret can easily be destroyed and enemy inventory stations do not work for you. I guess hi-rez did it to make you actually useful and place turrets strategically [B]in your own base[/B]. Speaking of being not useful for your team, have you ever heard anyone say "medium hostile, around enemy generator" or "heavy hostile, around enemy flagbase"?

Now there's no point taking a repair tool anywhere five meters out of your base if you don't have your turrets to back you up.

[QUOTE=DrasarSalman;36371016]Why in the world would you play tech as an offensive class?[/QUOTE] With Thumper and a secondary weapon, the Tech is pretty much a soldier, so why not?

[QUOTE=Clio;36371072]With Thumper and a secondary weapon, the Tech is pretty much a soldier, so why not?[/QUOTE] Because it does not help your team in any way, I once saw a tech jump into our base and place a turret on the floor, 5 seconds later it was gone.

Hell, I play Technician as a capper. Not as mobile as Pathfinder, but the extra health helps.

[QUOTE=SataniX;36371116]Hell, I play Technician as a capper. Not as mobile as Pathfinder, but the extra health helps.[/QUOTE] Tech would be the worst medium capper. The Soldier can get more health with the utility pack and go relatively fast with the spinfusor. The raider can whiteout the flagstand/drain everyone's energy and the shield can tank some damage. Even the Jammer can lead to a surprise grab.

Todays match was the most intense one yet, they were being extremely good, but at the end we got our shit together and won the game... Best 5v7 ever...

[QUOTE=Clio;36369318]is thumper/shotty a good/fun loadout? I play LO pth with shotgun when I'm not piloting and i love it[/QUOTE] Works somehow ok for flag defense support. But use the SMG over thumper to hit the capper for afar and when he come close shotgun in the face. And of course lay turrents arround the place to eat hp away.

Good work out there Shazpunch! It just goes to show that if we played any team at any given time with the other team being down at least two people then there's a 100% chance of victory. We're going places.

Brute caps are hilarious, especially when the poor guy is chased by half of enemy team but they can't catch up because their Pathfinders sped him up to the speed of light with their spinfusors.

Is there a video of the matches?

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;36370917]-snip-[/QUOTE] Wait, so the match you did didnt counted towards a point? So the team is going to have another match against the same team?

[QUOTE=Fusnax;36371798]Wait, so the match you did didnt counted towards a point? So the team is going to have another match against the same team?[/QUOTE] No we won, we won 3-0 but they were on like 5 people, we just gave them to opportunity to fight.

how is that even fair at all lmao, a fairer thing to do would be to pm euthanatos telling them that the other team didn't have enough members available to play and that you'd like to delay the round a bit longer so you could play an even game. [editline]17th June 2012[/editline] considering you know, it's father's day in america, of course people wouldn't show up.

It wasn't fair when our team couldn't show up to play shazbutt, you don't organize it for a week and then not show up.

okay so that lets you do it to another team???
