thrust pack isn't the best for getting the highest speeds.

True. I value maneuverability over Mach Sanic speeds though, and thruster happens to work well for that purpose. Speedy directional changes are fun.

I really thought this shit would revive it a bit. I still have some hope for the distant future. If Smite/whatever shit Hirez produces gets really huge Tribes will leech off some of that.
Maybe not though. The game really isn't friendly to noobs.
>>125950395

Not really. But at least they can use Shrikes. Any scrub can use a Shrike and hit #1 in points they're that overpowered and brainless.

With the "not really" part I was agreeing with what you said on that part. A bit ambiguous how I wrote it.
>tdm
I haven't seen a single populated TDM server since I started playing again when the update came out. Best I've seen is two populated CTF servers here in AUS. Usually it's one full pop and maybe one half pop one.
Also the match autojoiner doesn't work so I'm not surprised that the game is losing players since half of them probably don't think to look at the server list.
>>125954517
Join CTF. Every nigger there treats it like TDM.

Day in day out the team with dueling retards loses. Nearly every single game. Happened tonight numerous times.
>b-b-but I have most kills!
>b-b-but muh score!
Literally useless, selfish cunts.
>>125976282
That's a dueling retard who duels in a wrong place at a wrong time. A person who is good at killing is the best person to do O or roaming D as long as they don't somehow forget it's CTF.
>>125976628
Then your overly optimistic and idealistic perspective ignores the possibility of seemingly every retard "forgetting" CTF all the time.
Team with more people doing objective = 90%+ win rate.
>>125976869
I don't see how that relates to dueling in any way though. There are players in all roles who somehow manage to ignore the flag play. And a shitty capper can be much more harmful for the team than an idiot who duels in midfield. You can be a killing machine and still do objective. It's what you better be doing unless you are a capper/chaser/hof. I don't see people caring about the score or kills, especially not the ones who top the scoreboard themselves. Score is often merely what their role or play style leads to. What I do see are plenty of whiny idiots who only see score and kill count and trash talk, blaming the player for "not playing CTF" when in a lot of cases that that was the player doing half the team's work.
>>125977742
You've conveniently forgotten the original posts.
Duels are mad, hmk. You couldn't be more of a filthy dueling cock-sucker, either.
>>125976128
in the end, pretty much everything in tribes comes down to killing ability. someone who can go 100-0 (which i have) is more useful than some big mouthed gold ranked shitter
tell me again, what part of the game doesn't revolve around killing someone quickly and efficiently?
>>125978173
Going fast you retard. The whole game is about going fast you're all "b-b-but muh killz!" while going slow as fuck.
You can get 100 kills, and it doesn't matter. You can cap the flag once and win the game.
Checkmate, duelists.
>>125978395
ayy lemow
you cant go fast forever, and you cant cap when you're being baseraped. you don't think standoffs are common in ctf? plus, duelists can go fast too, they're called chasers, which is all i do in pubs, shitlord

>>125977860
I'm not. The original post was just purely about duels, not CTF. You brought up the idea that "duelists are useless" which I imagine you were referring to people in CTF and I disagree as long as the people who duel(kill) are doing it at a right spot.
>>125978395
If you don't see the benefit of a good dueler in CTF, you've probably never even capped. It's impossible to do anything alone as a capper if the enemy team at least tries to defend. You need someone to clear that stuff for you and that's where a player good at killing comes into play.
>>125978837
>being able to get slayer every round
Sprees are worthless. You can be a wuss who is good at killing but picks off random players to farm sprees. Kills and assists per minute would be a much better indication of being effective. Even still, you really have to see how those were earned to judge.

Bumping ded game from page 8
Why would anyone play something that isn't fun until you've played it for 200 hours?
>>126057347
Do you really need that many hours? Back when the game was in the beta test I had fun from the day one.But then again, T1 was my main thing in the early 2000's.
>>126057639
i used to play t2 like 10 years ago and i tried to jump in recently to fuck around and it's pretty hard to do well, there's not enough servers or population so everyone that's remaining is usually gud. impossible to stomp.
Tribes isn't even a very hard game. I played since beta and I very quickly learned how to be competent. Very quickly became better than the average player. I didn't touch Tribes (or any shooter) during the two year dead-zone and I was back into it within game 1 and after 2 games I was topping the scores consistently.
I feel as if the average player is just a brainless shitter. Look at any multiplayer game, the average player misplays and fucks up constantly. Their attitude sucks too with the whole "jus a gaem bro dw :^)" and almost make an effort to be a dickhead to make their point.
People suck at using more than one skill at the same time.

How about GIT GUD faggot.
Also what's that map that they've reworked and is no longer on map rotation? It was in beta and based as FUCK. The rework isn't as good sadly. It's in a desert--keep forgetting the name of it.
>>126066594
Dry cock sucks dick, you just sit on top of a perch lobbing mortars on your stand every time someone tries to make a pass and completely singlehandedly shut down their offense so badly that all of their grabbers personally come hunting you down.
And you're kind of forced to do this since the stand is so easy to completely fuck up and chasing is not an option since caps take 5 seconds at most with how easy it is to go back to back.
>>126066710
I see where you're coming from, but I still like the map. There are far worse out there so Dry Dock doesn't seem bad.
>>126066790
Drydock is the best of the worst.
Still a bad map I'd rather do without, or at least re-design it so FCs are forced to go in a circular pattern around the map rather than straight through the middle into their own base before the enemy has any chance to react.
Is Raindance still in the game? Haven't seen it once.
>>126066878
Wait, people go through the middle? I don't think I've ever seen that. Frequently people will go under the rock face, near the shipyard area, and sometimes along the huge cliff where the huge construction is and very rarely on the opposite side where the trees are.
Never seen through the middle. But again, I've seen lots of literal-llama grabbers cap flags lately. And heavies, too.
>>126066980
Yeah, it is. Map rotations seem inconsistent as fuck. Sometimes I get it an assload, sometimes never. Good map.
What's the map with the two ships again? That should be the only map in the game.
>>126066594
Also I was thinking of Bella Omega. The original version was great. Reworked is ass.
>>126067303
Crossfire. Pretty good map but extremely irritating (more than others) with shitter allies (so always)
>>126067303
Aww yuss my nigga. Crossfire is based. I played it almost non-stop in beta. I haven't even played it once since the patch, seems like the servers never have it on anymore.
What do you fags think ofArx Novena?
I personally overall dislike it. Not awful, just like a 4/10 for me.

>>126083386
I think the level restriction to both sides is stupid. There is a legit reason for the high levels to not to have access to newbie servers but if newbies want to play with the more experienced people, they should be allowed to. Some people put up servers with newbie restrictions from level 1-30 so you could join to those, depending on how high level your friend was. There is no level 56 btw.
>hate using chains
>cant do without
>>126084947
Use shotguns or pistols. Swapped the Sparrow for the Shotgun on my chase setup and it's grand as shit. Probably better suited for duels than chasing though.
Are sniper rifles the only hitscan weapons now?
>>126087029
No. Sparrow, Eagle and Nova Colt are sidearms for all armor classes and they are hitscan pistols. Shotguns are hitscan.
>>126085932
hitscan objectively sucks now
shit seriously needs a buff, nova colt brute used to be so much fun
>>126087576
Haha no, stop spouting bullshit because you can't git gud.
Sparrow and shotguns are great. Snipers are decent if you know what you're doing and are a good sniper (so, no one)
>>126087576
Yeah. All I wanted for that was a ROF that didn't depend on ping. Limit the ROF to something like it was on 40-50ms latency and it would be awsome. Right now it's just spammy and pointless because the DPS is lower than on any chain. Colt+Deva broot was the best stuff on some maps.
>>126087640
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1f1NO0_dmo6yxVcfHgaOFR3iSvxfXxXpw_pKFNMTHBDU/edit#gid=497875837
TTK for sparrow is twice as long as the assault rifle, not to mention insane fall off and range reduction.
i used to LOVE hitscan but it blows now. auto is simply better now.
>>126088815
Is this what they call theorycrafters.
You can't ignore hitscan because other weapons that aren't hitscan have faster TTK. I suggest actually playing the game instead of only playing by a spreadsheet. This proves to always be better. And I'm not even saying x is better than y, just that they're all good. Especially when player preference (such as intuition) is very important.
>>126089035
okay let's disregard actual numbers and go by anecdotes alone (mine is that ive been playing for 4 years and have used hitscan for a large part of it)
-_-
I feel like going fast.
We still only using PTS or are we on the Steam version for more players?
>>125948854
>i dun wanna play even if it is perfectly possible to play, better call it dead.
Tribes 1 & 2 are "dead". There are only people online at peak times in the evenings.
T:A you have no trouble finding a game except maybe in the wee hours of the night (or on uswest, lol).
Anyway, If you're just pubbing, why does it matter for you if there are 5 or 500 servers online? Assuming you like the game you can enjoy the game and can have a good time all the same.

How do I forget how to shoot without inheritance (eg, TF2 rockets) and re-learn how to shoot in this game?
>>125978173
Killing power obviously helps but it's not the be all end all
If you're TDM:ing in the wrong place at the wrong time in CTF it doesn't matter if you win the fight, you can still lose the war.
Sterio for example was never that good at killing dudes compared to many other "top" players, but dude was an excellent team leader with an eye for the game and got the stops when it mattered.
Or if you want to stick to T:A, compare for example Mstarr and Blitz, for a dichotomy on how very different players can bring success to their teams.
Tho in T:A:'s case, the gameplay changes over previous Tribes games admittedly makes it emphasize killing power a lot more. More execution, less strategy.
>>126091550
I am a proud, avid redditor
>>126092728
Mstarr was widely regarded as the best duelist in NA.
>>126090391
There is no PTS, just live.
>>126089035
If you actually had played the game pre vs post OOTB patch, it's obvious how poor the hitscan weapons are now. Eagle and Sparrow both needed a buff on live even before the patch. Colt needed to have a fixed ROF, lower than what it could do on low ping. Going by raw numbers alone is pointless as there is a clear advantage in hitscan over projectiles but when the DPS is this shit and range nonexistent, there isn't a situation in the game where you'd equip a hitscan over chain. Other than being pingfucked that is.
>>126093157
Oh neat, I was worried they were splitting the>playerbase.
Any particular servers we're using, or group I should be joining on Steam? I'm presuming at this point there are too few players to be bothering with that.
>>126067751
It's fun except in the cases where there are constant techfags humping the turrets, makes harassing the stand/dueling the defense as O pretty much impossible.
>>126093673
>get mortar
>sit on aquacuck
>laugh at the entire enemy base
Hilariously easy to offense that map.
We can all agree that Tartarus should be removed from the game, yes?
>>126093726
The problems with that:
1. Near impossible to time shots from that distance consistently
2. You can't retrieve
3. You can't e-grab
4. Stationary fatty is easy to hunt
Sure you can do something against a trash team and kill the HOF but O needs to be able to swarm the stand and play the flag. I don't recommend turning into rubberd1ck 2.0. The turrets are indeed menace on that map.
>>126095606
Same as any other map. There's no map that's difficult as offense. Offense is so damn easy hence why most games are 80%+ of swarming retards that just sit on enemy base.
>turrets
>a threat
Good joke, anon.
>techs
They exist? Defense is so shit this patch.
>>126093037
Yes, that's kind of what I was implying, sorry if that was unclear.
Blitz OTOH never was a killing powerhouse, but (despite being a the butt of many community jokes) had IMO a decent eye for the meta and comparably a much better knack for "seeing" how the game works as more than just a sum of its individual parts.
>>126095769
I actually haven't played a single Arx match post patch. Before that the turrets were the most effective defense, much worse than the average retard repairing them.
D stack was always the problem on pubs and O is much harder than D for multiple reasons. I don't know what the hell have you been playing if you think it's the opposite. What makes you think that anyway?
Thankfully the horde of braindead techs is mostly gone. I swear that people who used to play D are just having trouble because of how much involving it has become post patch. You can't rely on mines, turrets or sentinels nearly as much anymore. Inf D doesn't exist either.
>>126096782
Inf anything doesn't exist. And there's an extremely rare chance for someone to be playing Tech. Vast majority of the time I'm the tech and that is very rare (like 1 in 20 games)
Most games are most players hanging around the enemy base while a couple people try to cap/chase. Frequently get heavies that do whatever, they can more-or-less be anywhere and do anything.
>I actually haven't played a single Arx match post patch
>>126097115
Yeah sorry was referring to how Arx used to play pre patch. I won't say how it is now.
Everyone agrees that fatties need a nerf.
>>126097442
And no one has any legitimate suggestions for fat nerfs either.
It'd be interesting if they had 2k health but the mass and energy to back it up (so they can go a bit faster and maneuver more reliably)
>>126093726
Middle aqueduct? Might as well not be in the game, too far.
But yea, you can sit on the back aqueduct or the hill to the right side and mortar the sensors/turrets down, and that's fine, until you need to leave your spam position and actually get in-face with the stand D. Commence repairbot activate, and turret you just took down is shooting your face the moment your ass lumbers over to the stand building.
>>126095769
Arx is a slightly different than many in that with both turrets active they have really good coverage of the stand area, and are on elevated pedestals so you need decent precision to nail them down.
They're also good for the D in the sense that even if they won't kill you, they'll give away your position on activation, making it difficult to do a sneak approach.
YMMV. Personally I find a repairbot overload to be most annoying on Arx and Crossfire.
That said, I'll agree the game has been much less of a defensive cancerfuck after the 1.1 patch.
>>126098897
>Too far
Nigger fuck off. Go into practice now and sit in the middle aqueduct area. You can easily fuck the base from there. Why is there so many mis-informed shitters in the Tribes community? Even RIGHT in the center of the map where those 4 tiny towers area you can easily hit turrets, flag stand/base. Easy as fuck shots on FC if they go through the middle (or anyone, really)

I tested it and made an album to exemplify this: http://imgur.com/a/oDlST I kept the crosshair bars where they were when I fired the mortar. And this is from the center of the map on the aqueduct. You can get in better positions such as to the left of the aqueduct or the forward-right hills (careful enemy spawn there)
>>126055867
Im actually starting to like it after doing some routes. Its "outfield" is very large and has some great hills.

Not a filthy fucking casual. Stay true. Also helps me roleplay as a lost spess muhreen.

I love capping it

what does the size of the viewmodel have to do with that?
my first tribes was 2 btw

>what does the size of the viewmodel have to do with that?
Ask >>126100642
>>126101010
But small models is all around better, having small doesn't have anything to do with TA being your first game.
>>126101010
just what the fuck are you on about

What? I don't think anon said "too far" because mortar's range is not enough. It's too far because you can't do anything else than spam from a distance. You will have to go to the stand/base at times if you go O. You will have to e-grab and return the flag. Just being a human turret spamming in the midfield is stupid.

a thread isn't a conversation, no upvotes here my friend
>>126101923
Sad for you reddit-san.
>>126101416
You'd hope it worked like that. One guy comes after you and you are as much as useless because you are too far to play the flag when needed and you can't fine tune your long range mortar shots if someone is on your ass. You clear the stand out of rubble and destroy the turrets? Move closer, get near the base where you can actually be of use after the simple stuff is done. A better position to spam on Arx anyway would be the spawn "tower" on the left aqueduct or the hill between the far away right spawn and the base itself. You should be close enough to hit specific players with properly timed mortars and close enough so you can actually use more than one weapon in your arsenal, too.

What are the chances of the game reviving?
>>126102515
0% Why would it ever be an active and consistently improving game?
>>126102272
It does work like that. Try playing the game.
What are you favourite loadouts?

I thought they tried to revive it with 1.1.
>>126102949
Lately I've been playing lots of chase. Bolt Launcher > Falcon (LAR fucking blows ass) > Sparrow (changes frequently to whatever I feel like. Currently shotgun since I duel a lot when there's no capper) > (regular) Nitron > Thrust
>>126103042
They did fuck all with the patch though. People left because LoRez specifically said they've left the game. They've done this time and time again. They ruin then ditch a game to focus 100% on another (GA > T:A > SHITE)
Shrikes are still a massive problem. Physics/terrain is still fucked and inconsistent. They removed like 33% of the weapon pool. Infiltrator is nigh-useless. Defense is horrible and offense is too easy. These are just facts, while there are other potential issues that people whine about such as heavies being too strong and mediums not being strong enough. I personally feel as if repairing takes way too long.
>>126103346
LAR is for saber launcher, Since its so popular right now because of shrikes.
>>126103570
You can use Falcon for that as well. I've done it just fine numerous times. LAR just feels shit. Burst fire only is horrible in a game like Tribes. Similar deal between me and the LMG. Chain feels nicer. Been meaning to give the LMG another try though.
It's like how I much prefer the arc weapons (Launchers/Thumpers) over Fusors. I like Fusors, esp' the medium ones, but I really like and do far better with the Launchers. Most people are opposite.
>>126095519
yes
>>126100182
Not a mortar range problem, a "getting to the stand in time when shit goes down" -problem (close range clear/egrab, helping other O own the stand area, chase enemy FC). Also, the longer the range, the easier it is to avoid the spam for the D.
If I'm on the back aqueduct/hill, I can do a llama e-grab and exit the right way if the situation calls for it, it is also much closer to where the enemy flag carrier will eventually get to when he returns to base in a standoff situation, meaning I can close the gap & start pestering him hopefully before he has time to heal up properly at the back invo and the team goes into full standoff mode, etc.
If I'd stand in the middle I'd be safer and less likely to die, yeah, but I also wouldn't have the chance to make any plays if/when needed simply because it takes too long to get there.
>>126104086
Different thing all together. If you want to be close for e-grab then you sit close. Use shit like fusors and nade launchers constantly. Anyone can be at the enemy base. Not seeing how Arx is magically a problem.

Just a beta. They just revived the game :^)
even the most retarded pubs wont die in a shrike without a heavy saber presence/being a parkinson's addled pilot
>>126105652
vehicles should just be removed, they contribute nothing
>>126106476
Agreed. At the very least remove Shrikes. I don't mind bikes, and I sort-of don't mind Beowulfs. But games where no one ever touches a vehicle is so much better every single time.
>>125938879
i just tried this for the first time and uninstalled it. its pretty fun, running at a smooth fps, enjoying myself a little bit. i seemed to be doing alright, half way up the leaderboards but thats alright its my first game. i was on the winning team, destroyed the enemies generator and was defending it well. team was going to town on the flag, 5 to nothing, they had no good defenses at all and maybe they would have won without me but i did something. until right at the end
>Auto Balancing!
oh no, the most cancerous thing to taint competitive videogames ever. yeah guess who gets put on the enemy team. no not the bottom of the list, ME. middle of the leaderboards
i know hirez studio shills on 4chan, maybe they are in this thread. why the fuck is this a thing in a game you keep calling 'competitive'? did i just get put in a casual server or something? are there something like ranked servers that don't do this or something like that?
also
>>126109865
because people team stack and others quit. Auto balance is good for this reason. I just switch teams though
>>126108821
No just remove all of them. No reason for them to exist.
>>126109982
why not just do what quake live does? start off players in the level and rely on them to ready up, shuffling the teams based on the players skill history before the game starts and relying on the players to balance themselves. the players would then kick the bottom players who refused to leave/switch teams. it seems to work pretty fine in every other arena shooter.
>>125954830
>Join CTF. Every nigger there treats it like TDM.
They did that before and Hirez made new maps where its basically a tdm arena and some token hills around the edge
I've been playing base disruption lately, but then I get into matches where no one in our team wants to cap. Alas, I switch to light and get the first cap of the team. Goddamn.
I don't even delude myself thinking I am good capper. I am slow as fuck, I guess everyone's just playing prank on me and letting me cap.
>>126108821
Shrikes are the biggest problem because they are so difficult to dispose and the new system hands them out free. Essentially, either.
1. Limit the production of Shrikes, ex. make generators produce resources that are used to build vehicles.
2. Make Shrikes slower, so they cannot reliably outrun Sabers.
3. Give more AA-options to other than heavies.
4. Remove them.
Beowulfs are laughably easy to dispose of with Arx Buster, mortar and sabers. Grav Bike is next to useless.
>>126102801
Well, currently playing a medium/light mainly
>light - bolt launcher, falcon, shocklance, impact nitron, energy pack
>medium - thumper, hitscan, arx buster, frag grenades, utility pack
Nothing too special. I am a shitter who needs to rely on cheesy weapons.

why?
>>126101203
Submitted. Too bad they don't touch the other big issues - but I hope they fix vehicles now, at least.
Guys I remember playing two years ago and getting decent at HoF. All pub games with shitters but I could regularly block cappers and get kills and feel good.
I've tried playing since it restarted and I'm utterly shit and everyone else seems good. how do I get gud again
>>126122256
You play and learn from your mistakes.
>>126116826
becuse hirez fucking sucks, they ruined the shocklance
>>126116826
Nigh-shit weapon.
