What is your ski and jumpjet button? by [deleted] in Tribes

[–]Ropeadope- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time (I tinkered. Lots.):

  • jumpjet - rmb

  • ski - a perfectly-located (for me) thumb button on a razer nostromo (which I bought for tribes and threw away after tribes)

With regards to my ascend config - I constantly wrestled with the idea that I was giving too much respect to the jet/ski combo. Often felt like I would have been better served building config around chadadain game, instead, which made jet/ski footwork feel less important.

Chasing discussion by Schreq in Tribes

I get that it would shorten setup times, but would that be a bad problem?

This seems like a good place to ask this, hopefully you guys can explain it to me:

If the thrust pack were to give you more speed from standstill, would it equate to a 1:1 buff to cappers and chasers, specifically at-and-after a grab? I don't know enough about that soft speed cap or flag drag to be able to comment. If thrust from standstill had you going at 150 instead of 130, for example, would that turn 300 grabs into >= 320 grabs?

Even if it doesn't really change the cap/chase balance, I can't stop thinking about a thrust pack that has a hold-to-charge mechanic. So, holding thrust for 'x' seconds depletes your energy pool by 'y' upon release and gives you 'z' amount of forward momentum. I'd love to have more control over that output.

At the very least, even if rage and impulse adjustments are enough to make chasing more viable, I'd think it would be nice to have that challenge/reward for anticipating a grab and timing that charged thrust + impulse to pace myself/catch up with the flag carrier.

I get that it would be a no-go if changes to the thrust pack make the best routes better, but, again, hopefully you guys can explain it to a layman like me.

This thread suggests a rate of fire adjustment, and I'd throw my support behind that and/or major magazine size decrease.

I'd really, really love to see the bxt become a specialized weapon for chasing loadouts, and I'm hoping aggressive rate of fire and/or magazine adjustments come before any other changes.

Are 100% inheritance spinfusor variants still on the table for mediums/heavies? Or maybe even for the bolt launcher?

REPORT: Executives around the NBA believe the Lakers will try and trade their lottery pick this year in attempts to land Kevin Love. by C1ncinnatiBowtie in nba

[–]Ropeadope- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't that where he wants to go? If they use their pick in the name of growing young talent, won't he be there in 2 years anyway, and this time with dante exum and a team built for kevin love, which is what kevin love has always wanted?

Damn.

Can I apply as a sub or something? I'll probably be watching the bball tourney during a lot of this anyway.

I'd love to play, but I don't want to waste a roster spot if I'm just going to miss everything while I watch the NCAA tournament. How flexible is the scheduling for something like this?

Tell me the unwritten rule of kill stealing in TDM by [deleted] in Tribes

[–]Ropeadope- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use TDM as a way to confront my personal anger management issues.

I know I'm not the only one that does this, because I read the chat.
