Yeah I suck at this game, probably because I haven't played a real shooter like this in such a long time, but its still super fun to just jet around and shoot the ground with the spinfusor.

I was playing in public today and got quite a crowd to gather around and watch me fly around and miss everything.

Game itself seems to run well and relatively glitch free, but there's loads of work to be done regarding the interface.

If they run it anything like Global Agenda you can expect flashing, sparkling cash shop buttons.

I have keys if anyone wants em.

Just msg me on steam.

it's pretty vgca

everyone is saying that it's been dumbed down from tribes 1 and 2

any tribes veterans wanna tell us what exactly has been simplified? i'm curious

pythonfanclub plays this a lot. we welcome anyone to idle in chat if you're looking to play with people.

Overall the game is more casual compared to T1/T2, all technicians are faggots, has too many hitscan weapons and the pathfinder is OP as sin but it's still very fun, it's nice to play an FPS that requires some amount of skill in 2011

>>213545
If sc2 players like it then the game must really be trash.

>>213548
>implying anyone in pythonchat plays sc2

you've never been there have you

this games alot of fun

>>213544
i didnt play tribes 1/2 except for a bit on the ps2 but ill try to give a rundown anyways

-custom loadouts are gone, replaced with 12 different classes
-each armor class has a speed cap now
-no friendly fire
-splash radius on alot of things particularly fusion mortars isnt as good as it used to be
-callins have been added to the game, you can call in artillery strikes and inventory stations


those are the main points, im sure theres alot more though

the game itself like i said is alot of fun, you get 2 classes unlocked from the start, the rest you gotta grind alot or pay to play them. the classes are actually fairly balanced and the 2 that are unlocked by default are two of the best in the game, and the best class [pathfinder] is alot easier to unlock than the rest of the classes.

i play fairly often, my in-game name is darkxoxo so add me

looks like halo

i want a key someone please give me one please

http://steamcommunity.com/id/clorg

why would i want to play this garbage when t2 still has servers

>>213552
wasn't speed cap removed in a patch?
also:
-spinfusor projectile is slower
-spinjumping (rocket jumping) isn't nearly as effective (which sucks)

You know what? I'd like one too please!

Me too, please.

plebs, I said msg me on steam. Key begging is lame as hell, take that shit to 4chingchong/v/

Instead of saying "hit me up *steamid*" people say "hit me up!". Fuck those dirt eating peasant beggars!

xoxo got most of it, in addition the maps are smaller and skiing is more like vengeance where you're just frictionless instead of bunnyhopping.. it just really lacks tactical depth like T1/T2, but that's not really what they were going for

it's not Tribes 3 but it's still fucking fun

 jeffray 12/07/11(Wed)21:16

Holy shit just apply for the beta it takes like less than 30 minutes for you to get accepted.

This game is great, never played a tribes game before but this is so damn fun. am I supposed to be able to hit people out of the air with spin-fusor or do I just use the splash when they land?

>>213581

true professionals can airshot with it but the biggest thing is catching enemies with direct hits/splash damage while they're on the ground

soldier on soldier fights are gripping encounters wherein both players circle each other in the air until the person who runs out of jetpack fuel first lands and immediately is killed by the other player

>>213605
if you acutally know how to switch weapons youll and manage your energy youll murder any other soldier who does that

or you can just airshot them

oh also patch notes for today came out

Increase to explosion radius on Soldier’s Spinfusor, Pathfinder’s Light Spinfusor, Brute’s Heavy Spinfusor, Scrambler’s Arx Buster, Jumper’s Bolt Launcher, Ranger’s Thumper, Juggernaut’s Spinfusor D, and Juggernaut’s Fusion Mortar.
Modest increase to Projectile speeds on Soldier’s Spinfusor, Pathfinder’s Light Spinfusor, Brute’s Heavy Spinfusor, Juggernaut’s Spinfusor D, Scrambler’s Arx Buster, and Jumper’s Bolt Launcher.

nerfs to ranger ar / raider smg

vehicle buffs

spectator mode in testing


good patch

these classes seem ridiculously expensive (I guess because they want you to pay for them out of pocket), which one should I buy try to buy first?

>>213614
id suggest playing with ranger/soldier for a while to get a feel of what all the other classes do, and to play around with all the classes in training mode to decide on one, because they all play pretty different

>>213581
airshotting with it is just a tad harder than in tf2. best way to get one is to position yourself near a slope a lot of poeple use to rj boost to ski quicklier, just airshot them when they are i na straight line , it's like tr_walkway but with real poeple. Also buy sniper, nobody pisses poeple more off in mumble than a sniper in a game where everyone is trying to move at max speed to have some fuck up spawn headshotting poeple

>>213552

-custom loadouts allow T:A to have new weapons like multiple types of spinfusors to balance their class, yea it kinda does make inventory stations and generators much more pointless but that shit was tedius in the previous tribes game and I think they got this part right.
-there is no speed cap
-no friendly fire, of course when you get a bunch of friendlies inside a base spamming or people standing on the flag or anywhere where there's a bunch of people of the same team together you're going to get spam everywhere. Custom servers will have friendly fire as an option though.
-"splash radius on alot of things particularly fusion mortars isnt as good as it used to be" This I can agree with, but the latest patch has massively improved on this, haven't played yet but I don't think mortars are as castrated as they were before
- you missed the most important fact and that's health regen. Mostly has been well received because going back all the way to your base to heal or suiciding isn't that much better.

>>213615

oh I can use the classes in training mode, thanks I'll check them out.

also I love seeing my legs fuck why don't more FPS do this shit

is the armor just HP or do you actually take less damage with heavier armors

like I noticed some classes say they have good anti-armor capability so I was wondering if some weapons do less or more damage depending on the armor class

what is pythonchat

>>213641
steam chat for this lovely group right here http://steamcommunity.com/groups/PythonFanClub3

i like the explosion radius buff for spinfusors, although brute seems a little too user-friendly with that, the autoshotgun, and multiple upgradable fractal grenades

 eisiger 12/09/11(Fri)10:34

>>213640
Shooting 28 ranger rounds into one of the tanks did considerably less damage than one Thumper, so I'm guessing that explosives and AP rounds do a lot more damage than regular rounds.

I bought juggernaught today for 900 tokens, why the fuck was he so cheap? do classes go on sale sometimes or something?

 eisiger 12/09/11(Fri)21:25

>>213690
That's my guess, since Jug and Pathfinder were by the looks of it 90% off. If it's more than a one time thing, I have no idea how often it will rotate.

Paid for 10-day boost because I'd buy this for VIP but I'm too cheap for $30

can someone please fucking tell me what conditions need to be met for fucking call in to work

I've gotten supply drop and orbital strike to work once each but most of the time nothing fucking happens.

oh god between juggernaut being dirt cheap and the mortar buff theres juggernauts fucking everywhere god damnit

whenever i try to install hi-command (i have tried every day for the past week):

"Failed to start the Hi-Rez Studios Authenticate and Update Service"
why

>>213737
ok turned off windows firewall. for any1 with same problem try this.

They made path, jug and maybe tech cheaper because they're kind of the essential classes for a balanced team.

As for the call-ins, I've called things in and have nothing happen too. I'm not sure if it just whiffs and we're too far away to even see it or if it's bugging out.. there's no special condition, just a green laser.

There are also no counter measures anymore it seems, but there also aren't turrets that shoot homing rockets anymore.

I am kinda sad how much of a leg up any class with a fucking spinfuser or just the grenade launcher has on the scrambler, which best resembles my favorite load out from when I played tribes 2. If there were a way to detonate your mines uppon touching a surface instead of having to wait 1-2 seconds for them to explode or at least a BETTER fucking secondary weapon I wouldn't be nearly as upset. I know the class if for stealing into bases or scrambling a group of people with you into bases and taking out objectives, but if you get caught you have to have far better accuracy than your opponent and can't be on the ground or near a wall to even hope to survive.

 eisiger 12/11/11(Sun)21:19

Aiming with any hitscan weapon is a complete poop when your highest FPS is 25. Also, controlling the Shrek in any ping higher than 15, what the fuuuck

>>213794
shrikes take a bit of practice to get going but once you know what youre doing shrikes are fucking retarded, if youve ever seen any half decent shrike pilots like virtw youll know what i mean

also if you hit people with the shots from the arx buster it sticks to them so theres that at least, scrambler in general sucks ass though yea

I can get 20 second olympians on any map with soldier, I fucking need me some jumper to break that into single digits

>>213791

is scrambler really that bad

I thought sparrow was pretty good

>>213796
jumpers really fuckin fun to play

>>213797
The arx buster is great for destroying buildings and vehicles, but honestly spinfuser classes are still more powerful because they can actually kill people. Your mines stick to enemies, but you need at least 2 direct hits to kill someone. And your 3 shot clip can't kill a jug even with the +20% damage vs armored and 3 direct shots stuck onto him. The shitty pistol you get as a secondary really doesn't do anything.

I just had the worst fucking game, jug camping the enemy gen, I couldn't kill him more than once simply because even with the repair gun for fixing any damage I did, his secondary was still a fucking higher dps spinfuser which kills me faster than I can kill him.

Your ideal situation is you get into the enemy base and it is full of technicians.

Of course, I am pretty terrible player, but god damn it hurts to get to one side of the map and die because I can only kill half the classes faster than they can kill me and usually only when we are in a building.

Whiteout grenade is pretty fucking neato though, gonna have to spec that shit after I finish unloading xp into the scrambler.

>>213796
Jumper is lame, go pathfinder

I get consistent 13 second caps by grabbing toward my base and doing one disc jump while holding the flag. Jumper pack doesn't accelerate you as much at high speeds, you're better off using the spinfusor for acceleration.

ditto on the holy crap im bad. got in when it started and played twice. its fun but not getting hooked yet.

blue plate specials are quite possibly one of the most enjoyable things about this game besides goin' fast. just the "ca-ching" sound that plays when you hit one is just really satisfying.

that and flag running

I have to say artillery strikes are the most satisfying part of the game, especially when the mortar is still poop compared to the original.

they're supposed to be fixing inheritance this patch. I hope they just put it at 100% so its, you know, intuitive and not fucking retarded

>>213837
Even more satisfying is when you have the flag and are being chased, set a mortar strike on yourself and kill your pursuers.

they still haven't said what the new inheritance value is. "significantly improved inheritance" could mean virtually anything
