*** The Official Tribes: Ascend Thread! ***

Finally got my Falcon for my Sentinel last week but havent really had chance to use it. Not been able to play for the last few days. Should be on tonight though, fingers x'd!

Also, can anyone tell me the use of focused claymores? I was just looking over a Tribes wiki and the only difference between the standard and focused is that the focused claymore does 100 less damage! :confused:

The only thing I can think of, which isn't mentioned, is if you get more of them......?

Not sure I want to drop 18k xp on them if it isn't really worth it.

Cheers
 
I've got them but not noticed any difference. I thought they did more damage but had a smaller trigger area and smaller blast area.

Imo don't bother. Your better off getting a perk or 2.

Yea it's pretty dumb, apparently they have a smaller trigger radius, not like that matters when putting them on the stand.. :p
 
Nice. I really need to learn some routes, I keep putting it off.. I need more hours in the day :p

Has anyone done the infiltrator + super heavy perk trick on flagstand?? Might try it now :D
 
i was pondering tech, super heavy perk, and those miney warny things they got, and dropping turrets too ofcourse :)

it is quite amusing to have peeps go splat on you as a medium class :D

I can't believe they've implemented the fake aussie voice, it's so bloody irritating. Especially when several people in every game have it. I seriously don't know how long I'll be able to continue playing TA before that voice becomes too much. I joined CTF game as soon as I had downloaded the patch and had to leave within 2 minutes because of it. It's literally enough for me to stop playing the game as you're hearing it every couple seconds.
 
Finally got round to playing this... Technician in a few pugs, just camped the generator pretty much, kept it going and upgraded it when available... Was I doing it right? Slightly confused, lol!
 
Yeh nothing wrong with that. The importance of the generator seems to vary depending on the map and the quality of teams. Technician is a fun starting class though. Thumper is probably a decent weapon upgrade if you spend most your time in-doors (I've not got it yet), plus the SMG is nerfed slightly now.

If you can keep gen up, repairing the doombringers shields on flagstand is probs your next priority, then turrets/radar.
 
thumper is by FAR the best weapon for tech in 90% of situations i think

and main thing on ctf maps is to protect the flag, and keep gen/radar/gun turrerts up

so dump 1 turret near flag, preferably on a cappers path, and probably the other one there when u get a refill at ammo station
 
i dont like the new temple ruins, in the games i played on there the gen just kept going down, and im notsure on the terrain.

the bridge one is good, and the new snow/ice one i saw some interesting teamplay. infil would grab flag and get out and pass it to a high speed capper, as you cant high speed cap when the genorator is working
