I like the Doombringer, not only because of the name, but because of the awesomely manly chaingun

I'm playing the pathfinder now. capping flags all day long

[Nilocy]

I was just invited to the tribes beta again... Who wants another key?

[Relm]

Can I have a key please?

New patch is changing the automatic hitscan (hits as soon as you fire, no travel time) weapons into projectile weapons.

AKA the assault rifle is now probably going to be useless, unless they also upped the damage :O

I have to wonder why they left the soldier's pistol as hitscan. The pistol can be fired just as fast as the automatic weapons, you just have to click a lot.

Guess I'll have to see how it plays once the server comes back up.

I hate just popping into threads to ask for keys, but I loved tribes. wouldn't mind one if there's an extra floating around.

[Nilocy]

I instinctively lead targets in tribes, so hitscan weapons really confuse me. I welcome this patch

Edit: What about the possibility of a private dedicated server when the game comes out for reals?

[Draxis]

Could I have a beta key also?

[Paul]

The velocity of the rounds is high enough for them to still be good weapons, I was afraid they'd make the assault rifle and such have really slow moving bullets, but its not really that much different.

I think it's mostly because the patch also made bullets inherit your speed, so flying super fast toward an enemy and firing doesn't make your bullets seem like they're going slow motion like it used to the non-hitscan weapons.

I do see a lot more people using the soldier's pistol, though. I think it might be the only hitscan weapon left that can be rapidly fired.

Seems like the older ice map is having ski'ing bugs.

And their inv. station fix forced me to attack the enemy base with a repair gun.

The projectile speeds are so much more intuitive now, though.

Edit:  Is it just me or is the spinfusor splash smaller?

[Nilocy]

I dislike how they slowed the projectile speed of the chaingun... Its now basically impossible to hit anyone.

O.O

As soon as I get my computer back into gear I gotta ask for a shot at this. I still consider Tribes 1 the best game of all time for me. A huge part of my childhood was in T1 and 2.

On the other hand I'm still stuck in the stone-age performance-wise, so this ain't happening.

On the other other hand, due to awesome friends I'm NOT in the stone age!

If anyone has a key feel free to send it my way. 03

I gave up on light classes in team DM, I do well enough on the score board but with a much worst KD ratio than medium, so it's totally not worth it. Maybe for flag control, but you get killed that much faster anyway. And getting one shotted by fusor splash damage get old.  It's really sad because the jumper arbalest is probably my favorite weapon in the game.
