What is a better class to unlock first? Sentinel or Doombringer?

[QUOTE=TahHeX;36385782]What is a better class to unlock first? Sentinel or Doombringer?[/QUOTE] Doombringer all the way.

[QUOTE=TahHeX;36385782]What is a better class to unlock first? Sentinel or Doombringer?[/QUOTE] Sentinel is hard to play,since it takes a lot of practice and skill to land shots. Doombringer,on the other hand, is easy,but seems somewhat useless without the super heavy perk. I'd go for doom if i was on your place.

Does anyone have the same problem as me where in the menu, my framerate is only 10FPS? I've changed it to 800x600 but all it did was increase to 11FPS.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;36385192]since when did automatics do 1440 burst damage? (720 mid air splash)?????[/QUOTE] since when was it possible to get all three rounds to hit at the same time with max-damage splash mid-air?

[QUOTE=Enaicavor;36386969]since when was it possible to get all three rounds to hit at the same time with max-damage splash mid-air?[/QUOTE] did i ever say anything about landing all 3 on them? you can easily just shoot 1, blow it, shoot another, blow it, shoot another, blow it, etc.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;36387772]did i ever say anything about landing all 3 on them? you can easily just shoot 1, blow it, shoot another, blow it, shoot another, blow it, etc.[/QUOTE] Yeas,and i can do the same thing with the spinfusor,shoot one,hit,reload,shoot another one,hit reload. FUCKING OP I SAY!

You can easily one-shot mediums with Jackal by just shooting your nades near the spot they will land, fighting an Inf with some experience with it is a nightmare. Doesn't help that those cunts will always make sure they will be fighting you 1-on-1 and that's where the Jackal works the best. On the other hand, duelling Infs are usually useless to their team outside the orbitals they get by killing tons of people who keep coming at them.

I rarely see infs using the s. spinfusor. A shame,it was a great weapon... Also if you are a tech and an inf is attacking you,just throw your TCNG,he'll die fast.

[QUOTE=Idzo;36387835]Yeas,and i can do the same thing with the spinfusor,shoot one,hit,reload,shoot another one,hit reload. FUCKING OP I SAY![/QUOTE] The difference being that jackal explosives can be remotely detonated near your target.

[QUOTE=ryanmh12;36388791]The difference being that jackal explosives can be remotely detonated near your target.[/QUOTE] The firerate is also a ton faster

Arena brings out the worst in Tribes Ascend.

I got blue plated by a beowulf while going about ~170. Is there an accolade for that? :v:

[QUOTE=Why485;36389162]Arena brings out the worst in Tribes Ascend.[/QUOTE] IT's pretty much a place where new players can get mid-air shots. Other than that,it's a dumbed down version of TDM. [editline]19th June 2012[/editline] Wellp, I'm now farmin' up for the phase rifle,and the energy pack. Any tips for using it?

learn to snipe first?

[QUOTE=Why485;36389162]Arena brings out the worst in Tribes Ascend.[/QUOTE] And TDM too.

Boosted out of the underground "C" base on Capture and Hold Katabatic in my Beowulf, jumped off of the entrance ramp and landed right on top of a Juggernaut that was trying to get in, instagibbing him. feels good man

[QUOTE=Idzo;36385931]Sentinel is hard to play,since it takes a lot of practice and skill to land shots and everyone will yell at you. Doombringer,on the other hand, is tough as nails,but is completely useless without the super heavy perk. I'd go for pathfinder if i was on your place.[/QUOTE] ftfy

[t]http://i.minus.com/ibogLszA8B51Dq.png[/t] Is this a bug, or did I just shit out two extra turrets without knowing? Also, someone on our team kept spamming voice commands to try to make new sentences out of it, the problem was that he kept over-doing it. Each time I tried notifying how annoying it was, I just got the replies "I AM (the greatest) quiet", "You (rock) quiet" and finally, "Aww, that's too (bad) quiet". Sure it is fun hearing him tell us how awesome the enemy is, but each time he does it, he triggers a false alarm about the enemy taking our flag (or shazbot, which seems to be commonly used in his vocabulary).

[editline]19th June 2012[/editline] Wellp, I'm now farmin' up for the phase rifle,and the energy pack. Any tips for using it?[/QUOTE] I started writing up a post on why you [I]shouldn't[/I] use the Phase Rifle 14 hours ago but scrapped it because I hated it So I'll let Arcadizz1e, top EU sniper, explain for me: [quote]In my opinion the BXT1 is still the best by far. The damage output on the Phase is dramatically lower than BXT, playing for a few hours with both this should be evident. The nerfs to the BXT1 have been entirely based around falloff, this doesn't really matter however since when you are using your rifle at fall off range it will primarily be to attack incoming enemy cappers who will already be incredibly low from performing their nitron/disc jumps. and so hitting for 225 does just as much damage as hitting for 500 since your likely to one shot or block their regen either way. Up close the phase rifle is a death trap since you are grounded once you shoot 1/2 times and that means instant death. The best defense as a sniper is to jet straight up or away which you can't do if you've just fired the phase. Its ability to shoot quickly when an opponent jumps out on you may save you now and then, but in the vast majority of situations its the end of you. Basically the BXT1 is better because of the higher damage output and the fact it doesn't touch your energy pool (especially important now with longer respawn) the falloff nerf has almost no effect on your ability to kill incoming cappers and if you have the oppurtunity to kill an approaching O player who is closing from falloff range the BXT1 will likely still kill them quicker and is more forgiving if you happen to miss the first shot. As for custom Xhairs, I disable the HUD Xhair and use a small piece of red wax in the center of my screen for all games I play (#esports). I know their are software Xhairs available but for the majority of them you have to play windowed and since I do not play at native resolution this does not appeal to me.[/quote] It's just not worth it

The phaserifle hasn't been worth it since they fixed the 1000 damage bug...

a nice trick to do with phase rifle is stay near a supply drop, so if you miss the first shots, you can quickly fill ur energy on the supply and do full damage again.

Got myself the gotta go fast badge to obsidian. Fun thing,when i got it we were being defeated by 0-3. After that,we won 4-3. I love this game more everyday.

Is the Shazbundle worth it? I'm kinda tempted to buy it.

[QUOTE=SXBIG;36401064]Is the Shazbundle worth it? I'm kinda tempted to buy it.[/QUOTE] Barely, you're much better off with a boost and it allows you to get other stuff too. It's especially useless if you already own all the classes.

Just got the pistol for soldier. Where have you been all my life?

Is this ever going to go on steam?
