Tribes Ascend Survey

They just emailed players a survey basically about comments on what we like most, least, and any bugs. Also on what tribes games we played.

Perhaps if we all reply that we have NEVER played a tribes game and that we want at least 3 weapons a class then they'll reconsider.

yeah... Pretty wishful thinking there I know.

If everyone says TWO WEAPONS maybe they will give us three.

No, then they will just give us one.

you gusy are idiots
you get like 5 weapons

main 2 weapons
your melee thing
and the extra grenades

lol i thought of that too. they seem to ignore anything associated with "vet". I should have told them i was a 15 year old that just got into computer gaming, then maybe my opinion would be more valid than oodles of years of competitive gaming.

you're either joking or are fucking retarded.

for the most part, you have ONE useful weapon. Melee is trash. Grenades disable your primary weapon for like 5 seconds. Not to mention, only a few classes even have a fucking disc which SHOULD be our bread and butter.

this sounds serious.

"Me and a bunch of friends and their friends are Call of Duty vets and really like T:A but go back to COD because two weapons is too frustrating in this game. If you guys had 3 weapons instead of one strong/one really weak then we would easily pass up COD for it."

Don't forget about the grenade taking forever and a day just to even be THROWN. Unlike all the other Tribes where you hit the button and it shoots, but NO not in this game.

You hit the button and you're rewarded with like a 2 second animation before its actually thrown and by then you miss entirely.

I was trolling before but in all seriousness you're probably just fucking horrible at the game.

I usually always hit my grenades, because I only use them when I know I can hit someone. Like when I'm coming in on my route for the flag (either to grab or distract), I've gotten the timing down to where it explodes right on the flag already and kills anyone in the area.


You're just a fucking scrub at both games and shouldn't talk.




well actually neither of you

That automatically disqualifies you from being able to comment on the issue. Any moron with common sense can fling a grenade at the flag while he's coming in.

I'm talking about in actual combat with another player grenades are pointless because you can see them coming a mile away and avoid. Not to mention you cant angle them to explode in midair if you're close to someone because they only have 1 throw range and they fucking lob(arc too much).

So in relevance, back to what 82nd said.... you really only have one weapon.

Only an idiot would waste their grenade in a situation where they knew they wouldn't be able to hit in the first place

I only really use them in doors
When I force people to duel me and I know theyre going to be chasing me right in to a grenade
When I have the flag and people are close behind me (they usually hit someone)
Or when I'm coming in for a flag

I've gotten lucky and killed a few cappers while I've been chasing
but there really isn't any point


TA Grenades arent T2 grenades
Get over it.

I think you forgot what the whole point of this argument is

Let me offer you a brief refresher... I'm siding with 82nd Mofo on how you only have ONE useful weapon and arguing against how you say we have many.

All you've done so far is throw meaningless insults our way and explain how YOU use a weapon that's as useful as a satchel charge in combat.

In the soldier class for instance, the pistol is pretty much worthless unless you're right behind the target and their back is turned skiing in a straight line. Other than that it's spray and pray.

Trollin' dawg.


However I was being serious when I was talking about the grenades, because I find them much more useful than T2 Grenades. Also T2 completely revolves around you having Flares (for most positions) which I thought/think is retarded to begin with. I like TA's grenades more.


About the weapons.. it really just depends on the class
I started playing as Soldier then switched to Ranger
There are advantages and disadvantages to playing both, but I prefer Ranger just becaue AR + Thumper = my playstyle from t2 (thumper/ar = disc groundshots/random MAs + cg whoring)

The Eagle Pistol isn't all that horrible. It has 100% accuracy and can destroy people in the air if the person u sing it is fast/accurate enough with it.

Again it just depends on the class and the weapons they were given, and how smart Hi-Rez was about it. There are some good ones, like Ranger/Raider.

Haha, vax. They don't know the inside joke associated with the 5+ weapons comments, quit trolling them

Was just playing with HiRezBart... thought he was fake but it was really him. Said he was testing the pathfinder class or something.

Everyone kept asking him questions and he was like
"when will you..."(voice command)
"Quiet!"
LOL
