You guys thinking of starting a ocuk team up? I play a lot of t1 still but most of them are from the US so matches will be stupidly late at night.

Will be interested if we can get a competitive team together.

So far iv fully upgraded the pathfinder as its about as close to T1 as there is and now working on soldier for a heavier chasing role.

Stick with the disclauncher its the classic tribes weapon of choice.

Good vid here for newbies.

I would be interested in that. I have almost maxed out Soldier then I may move to brute or pathfinder not sure.

Also +1 on the spinfusor being weapon of choice. If you are playing a class where the primary weapon is a hit scan weapon you are cheating :D

Pretty pleased about that. Gets rid of one of my major problems with this game. The hit scan rifles and stuff seemed very cheap. What about the soldier pistol? I'm guessing the same is happening to that?

Pistols are staying the same for now, depending how the changes to the smg's and rifles go they may change them as well.

Hi Rez really seem to be listening to their community on this, so remember to post a lot of feedback on thier forums :)

Weird. I was playing soldier yesterday and it seems in quite a lot of situations the pistol is more effective than the Spinfusor. Also, it seems kind of weird to have only a few hitscan weapons, especially in a game that revolves around projectile based Spinfusors and similar weapons.

Really? I find the pistol totally useless apart from when facing an enemy with maybe 1/8th health left and they are trying to ski away fast or jetpack over your head. In all other situations spinfusor is better.
 
Whenever someone is in the air it's pretty difficult to hit them with the Spinfusor. Might just be because I'm pretty bad with it.

The main thing though, really, is that it just feels weird to have hitscan weapons at all in this game.

Agreed but that is the point. I have had a fair few blue plate specials it just takes practice and a quick accurate mouse hand.

Tribes Ascend Closed Beta Version 0.1.621.0

Server downtime: The Tribes Servers are expected to be down for up to 3 hours on FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 2011 while a small bug-fix patch is deployed. Watch the Server Status in Hi-Command for latest availability information.

The patch fixes a few bugs, including an issue with skiing, an issue with Heavies using the Inventory station in some condition, and a problem causing occasional map crashes and server instability.

An update that was needed and again they listen to the community as the inventory station issue was annoying :D
