I can hit Blue Plates pretty consistently with the Soldier and Infiltrator.. But soon as I try the Pathfinders I can't hit them at all.

I'm told all 3 of these weapons are the same.. yet I find the Light Spinfusor so difficult to use at the level I can use the others.

So annoying. :(

Maybe it's because the light spinfusor travels faster than the regular spinfusor. I'm saying this because the heavy spinfusor projectiles travel slower than the regular spinfusor projectiles.

Pretty sure they changed it that they all travel the same speed.
 
The game does feel a bit spammy at times, particularly mortars and those fragment grenades... a light players worst enemy! :x

I found that the players usually mortar spamming are low ranked ones. So people still new to the game and getting to grips withit.

Nothing wrong with it, as it doesn't happen too often.
 
I cant say there is much of that in the higher ranked servers. As above its mostly people who are new and think thats the best thing to go for. Its actually quite handy if a n00b on your team is spamming the enemy flag stand.
 
Generally I have no problem with Mortors or Mirvs, the only reason people spam them is to clear the flag stand.

As a light you are rarely on the flag unless your chasing incoming cappers, not to mention they are easy enough to avoid.

The only time I find Mortor spam annoying is when i'm playing HoF, was on Drydock earlier and 2 of the enemy team was constantly spamming the flag stand, made it impossible for any defence. This wouldn't have been a problem if my team actually tried to stop them doing it, but they happily did it for the entire round without getting interrupted by anyone.

Perhaps it's the way I play light (infiltrator) then, I'm attacking the flag defense and generator defense, I'm happy to take on mid and heavy as I love the Infiltrators pee shooter for accuracy - just takes a while to wear them down! Most games I'm in the top 1 or 2 so I'm doing something right, even if using a light as a dog fighter is a bit risky.
 
Oh and another thing I didn't notice in the beta but definitely do now is skiing is harder because there are odd stutters/latency issues where you physically move up/down/sideways a bit after setting off.

A capper last night was swearing about it, reduces accuracy and kills speed because you're not quite landing or moving as you expect.

I've read on another forum quite a lot of people are getting this. NOT to be confused with FPS drop, this is a lag issue.
 
Doombringer is still my favourite class, the chain gun is lethal.

And it's hilarious annoying people with the sabre launcher and getting huge map end to end hits.

So many people don't shoot down that missile. :p

I was really struggling last night to cap well. Server just felt weird. Its been fine for me since patch but last night I felt really off.

These 'bugs' and laggy feel could be down to traffic, a massive influx of new players has definitely affected lag in recent games. Things will hopefully settle down.

That's what I think, the day the game launched it was very jittery and laggy for most people.

It's gotten much better since then and will probably continue to do so.

Play CTF if you aren't already TDM tends to be a huge spamfest especially on outskirts.

The london servers felt a bit dodgy last night as well I gave the Amsterdam ones a try and they were perfectly fine. Its probably their whole system being stressed by the amount of people playing.

On Another Note Tribes Ascend has a score of 92 on metacritic currently! pretty excellent for a f2p game.
