It was actually intentional, otherwise, it'd be the same voice talking to itself, which seems a bit silly in this context.

this patch is fucking huge and awesome and if you're like xoxo and quit playing tribes I'd recommend hopping back on for a few games just to try this out

 Rep!loidX.Tbfs 02/02/12(Thu)08:39

I just started playing, my in game name is Reploid

Game's pretty fun and is filling that void that ut2k4 left in me

○ Ranger has been removed, and Ranger’s weapons and gear are now available on Soldier.

YESSSSSSSSSS YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES TRIBES I'M COMIN HOME BABY I'M COMIN HOOOOOOME

lol keichan youre such an immense faggot

this patch is fucking insane holy shit AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA i dont know what to do with myself

i had like 1.2 mil exp and 1600 gold on login heres some thoughts on shit i bought


pathfinder: i got the thrust pack bolt launcher and light assault rifle. the LAR is pretty good, the bolt launcher is buffed from previous iterations [910 on direct hit now], and the thrust pack is more potent now too. thrust pack + egocentric + impact nitrons is really funny

on doombringer i got the heavy bolt launcher, its pretty underwhelming. slight arc to the shot, 980 direct hit, slow as fuck

on sentinel i got the phase rifle and the falcon. the phase rifles relaly good and you can do 550 a shot with 0 startup as long as you have energy. you cant really use it and chase though. best if you use it with the energy pack [drop jammers are useless anyways]

the falcon is really good too, pretty much a rifle in its own right.



A FUN VIDEO GAME IN 2012????

The changes to the game and classes are pretty sweet.

The new UI however isn't sweet at all, hopefully they improve it because at the moment its menu hell.

 GAR 02/02/12(Thu)19:18

MIRV MIRV MIRV MIRV MIRV MIRV spindisc.


Spindisc confirmed for best grenade ever.

apparently getting hit by the heavy bolt launcher makes your screen have a seizure, mirv also

heavy bolt launcher still sucks ass though compared to the chaingun, it is good for killing vehicles though

In extras enter the secret code: GOTTAGOFAST

Man the new infiltrator is awesome. I miss having nearly infinite stealth but having +200 health and a fucking spinfusor is worth it.

 GAR 02/03/12(Fri)15:41

>>215627

The new spinfusor for inf is ridiculous now as a jugg. You'll be tooling along minding your own business then stealth disc from nowhere and then they recloak. Drives me crazy but makes the class totally legit now.

 GAR 02/03/12(Fri)15:42

Also it seems that Technician can now equip the shotgun and thumper. Am I wrong about this because I swear a tech was using thumper on me, dropped a turret, then killed me with shotgun.

 eisiger 02/03/12(Fri)18:25

Sick ass longbarrel thumber for Primary, and Sawn-Off Secondary.

 GAR 02/03/12(Fri)18:33

+ drop turret.

officially most op class for one on one now.

after an extensive 2 days of analysis me and the boys down at the lab have our results: game still sucks

5 awful players per team abusing 950 damage tech thumper and spamming turrets + bullet weapons still being really strong = this game sucks my ass. it was a fun 2 days but it sucks again and with the fundamental flaws in the game and hirez's general incompetence when it comes to balancing means it will probably stay ass


rip video games

12:35 AM - xoxo: everyone go call the game ass NOW

hello i am here to call this game ass i think it is not fun and technician is overpowered goodbye

 EVERYONE HATES BRONZOR 02/03/12(Fri)21:39

>>215638
these findings are in agreement with my research
when I saw that hirez's riveting new class design involved making every class the ranger it was an omen of doom
one of the lead developers admitting to being a technician beta sealed the deal

the game is still shit because the physics are fucked which should have been fixed in fucking alpha

but I think this was a positive patch overall that did fix some shit (HoFing is actually a thing now and lights/heavies are actually useful compared to mediums now), and the new system means its easier to balance things out but its still probably going to be shit. I have a little hope though and I had fun playing it again after not playing for a month.

hello i have analyzed if there are 5 bad juggernauts with MIRV launchers shooting the flag base, this argument turns into stupid situational bullshit

 GAR 02/04/12(Sat)11:36

>>215662

Dude it's not saturated bases that's the problem. It's 3 fold:

1. Saturated generator rooms with thumper equipped techs protecting them.
2. lone ranger techs who drop turrets like bitches in the middle of cap lanes because their other buttbuddies are protecting the generator like their secret lube stash.
3. techs abandoning their job of REPAIR by swapping for a shot gun and turning themselves from a support class to a heart beat monitoring one man army of doom (and also dropping multiple turrets whenever they're fighting someone)

 eisiger 02/04/12(Sat)11:40

>>215667
so basically people somehow working together with deployables that can be destroyed with blindfired grenades and explosives

>>215668
Are you really trying to defend Tech right now?

 eisiger 02/04/12(Sat)12:27

I never said it wasn't a shit class, I just said that anyone that says they can't get around them (or in this case going in unorganized against 5 players working together) is a tool HELP I CAN'T TYPE FOR SHIT

I think once private servers come out and you can pile onto a team with your buds in mumble it will be a lot better.

 eisiger 02/04/12(Sat)12:54

but I will admit that the loadouts for Tech bloats up his intended role, and that 170k xp for weapons which translates to 70 hours of time is fucking dumb.

>>215673
you're totally right.. most of my rage comes from idiot pubbies which there is an insane amount of because lol f2p

nah tech is overpowered and really shitty players can be insanely effective with him and it makes the game unfun to play these are irrefutable facts

 Sparkly Noises 02/05/12(Sun)02:34

>>215683
I agree up to "unfun"
Baddies are still bad, the only thing that changed for me is that the gen is up longer on MY team and sometimes I can't completely base-rape as a LONE infiltrator as it should be.
>>215667
I don't run into this a lot, but you're right Techs really shouldn't be roaming that well, if anything this might be the reason for an upcoming tech nerf.

My main complaint is, why the fuck does DMB have the hardly noticeable aoe landmines that you cant even hover over without getting airmailed, while the INF gets the blindingly obvious tripwire?

apparently /v/ defeated reddit in a competitive match and they accepted the win gracefully

The new patch is great, xp prices for weapons are ridiculous but now I can actually buy classes and perks.

Tech's smg needs a nerf badly: for a self defense weapon it's too good for offense and makes roaming easy. Reduced projectile speed or dmg falloff at a distance would be a good start, though the main issue is that it's your only weapon if you choose to do your job and maintain base assets (you can swap the repair tool for secondary weapons alongside your smg what the hell hi rez)

I think if they nerfed the smg and reworked his repair tool to do things other than repair (heal teammates, drain hp from enemies, be a terrible quake lightning gun knockoff, ANYTHING), tech would be alright

>>215723
I'm okay with TCN having 2 weapons, but what should happen is whenever they swap out for a repair tool, theirs is just the better one. But they get that in exchange for the SMG nerfs you said, also fuck off why do they have a thumper.

>>215723
they actually already do heal teammates you just have to be in melee range to do it

 GAR 02/07/12(Tue)21:38

>>215725

someone told this new technician (how he got in 10+ level server i don't know) that his repair gun can damage enemy turrets. needless to say he didn't have the new mechanic perk. I wish i took a screen shot of his reaction but it was priceless.

>>213737
I had this problem for a long time and gave up on the game a few weeks ago. Recently I wanted to try again and found this post: "I just tried installing it to a folder on the desktop instead of the default directory and BAM! No problems. (also ran as administrator) Hope this helps someone!"

It worked for me too. Awesomesauce
