Tribes: Ascend Catch All

Most Tuesdays will work for me. As long as I don't have freelance work, I'm in. I'll probably be on a good chunk of tomorrow and possibly this evening as well.

This might sound weird but learning that projectile weapons have 50% and not 100% inheritance has really upped my ability to calculate shots with the spinfusor. While I'd prefer a 100% inheritance model, as you only have to calculate one frame of reference which is pretty automatic instead of trying to interpolate two, the 50% is workable but requires conscious effort for me to remember.

Also, running Doombringer on Crossfire continues to have interesting results. This most recent time was 33 kills, 16 assists, and 3 deaths.

I am playing this game as well. Hit me up with invites. My game name is the same as GWJ... Also hit me up on steam if you wanna contact me to play.

So I purchased the VIP-thing on a total whim this afternoon when I got up (coffee hadn't kicked in yet, what can I say). I set it to download while I'm at work, and I'm looking forward to trying it out when I get home in the morning. I've never played a Tribes game before; should be interesting!

Make sure you at least hit up the ski training before you hop into the game.

Other than that, my handle in game is silentsod and I look forward to seeing you!

Ski training and mess around in target practice. A little practice with the rifle and the thumper go a long way, since they don't act the same as they would in other games.

Gah. I need to play more. I got my beta invite while I was on a work trip, with just my work laptop, then I was home for all of 2 days before leaving on another trip for a week. Hopefully, I'll be able to put in some solid time. Movement isn't much of a problem for me right now, but my aiming is crap!

I'm also worri3eed now about what the patches are going to do once I log back in. Have my 40 minutes of play-time learning the game been basically obviated now, so I'll need to start from scratch again?

Nah, movement's not really changed much, except as mentioned by somebody above, you sometimes seem to stop skiing randomly.

I hopped in to the beta after hearing my twin friends go on about how awesome Tribes was a few years back. I haven't been able to get in to this at all. Twitch FPS still isn't for me I guess.

I received a key; first person that posts here asking for it can have it.

A reminder that the get-together is tonight at 9 EST. I might be away for VDay supper, but I hope I'm not too late.

Do friends list work? I just got in. If so, add me. I'm sure you can guess my name.

Sorry I couldn't make it last night. With Valentine's day I just couldn't get on at all. I'll try and make it next week. It should be a blast.

I was having some PC stability issues last night so I couldn't jump in unfortunately. They've been resolved now though so if we do another night, I'm definitely in.

Just got a beta key as well. I didn't even know I signed up for it, or if i did at all? Still I like tribes should be fun.

So what game modes/regions does everyone mostly play in? I typically play CTF, and I think I default to the North America East region.

I'm in the Oceanic region, and the only one so far I think. If anyone else plays there though, you can friend me up. I think I'm Rothving in-game, pretty certain at least.

I play CTF and I must say the map with the aqauduct is the best map. The skiing is so damn fantastic on that map and in the game in general i love it. I play US east i think. Leveling and unlocking is very slow which sort bites. Otherwise real fun.

I play CTF, exclusively so far, and am US West with pings around 80 (I live in CO). Branching out away from Soldier/Doombringer into Raider a bit now as well.

I play CTF on US East, and lately have been playing with the Sentinel and Raider.

Here's the Steam group again, for event updates, but I've switched it to private. If you want in, just ask anyone of us in there already for an invite. Let's shoot for Tues 9 EST again.

Could I grab an invite? Might not get a chance to game with you all, but I like to feel included.

I usually play CTF. If I don't have much time I'll play some team DM though to get the quick First Win of the Day bonus. I've tried playing Rabbit but just never got into it. I'm also normally in North America East region, though sometimes I'll change it just to get some different people and see how tactics vary between regions.

I've got a Tribes Ascend beta key to give away. Anyone want it? Let me know of your wants, needs, desires. Mostly your want for a beta key though.

I've also got a beta key to give away. PM me.

Must be a party. I've got a key as well.

Of course, if we run out of referral keys, you can like their facebook page and get one immediately as I understand it. So they're not exactly exclusive things.

Oh. Cool then.

I also have an extra key if anyone wants. PM me.

Just found where my two give away beta keys are, anyone wants it they can have it.

I also learned how to turn on my 30 day boost about a month after I started playing, and that I had a 30 day boost. Yep.
