| Im sort of new to tribes, im level 16+ and i was wondering what other peoples view on the classes are. Personally I get super annoyed when dealing with a bunch of techs, brutes and of course the doombringer chilling up top skies locking on to people. The doombringers that spam lock-on actually annoy me more when they are on my team but are a nuisance either way for me, just defend the damn flag! To me Brutes just dont seem as useful in ctf compared to juggernauts and doombringers. Thoughts? Last edit: 2012-08-10 06:47:08 |

Brute in the Gen Room
every day, every day, every day.
Spam Fractils in the Gen Room
every day, every day, every day.
No, but serious have you ever tried to get Brute out of the Gen Room? I also hear that once you get the Survival pack that the Brute is a whole new story. And that the Nova Colt is a really good gun. Rapid Fire Hit scan with a min of 116 and a max of 190.
But with Brute you have to play either:
Spin + Colt
or
Glad + Plasma(You many duel with the Plasma and use the Glad like a Fractal)
Brute would be the best Heavy dueler if:
1) Juggs didn't have the ML/LMG/SpinDsk Combo.+ Show Spoiler +
2) If they had a combat Grenade |

Brute is pretty worthless if you're trying to be effective, but fractals are really, really fun. |

Hey guys, quick heads up that there is a big tournament going on that focuses on bringing new people to the competitive scene. Signups are open until the 20th. I'll quote the post I made in the official forums:
What is Newbloods? A tournament to get new players introduced to Tribes: Ascend competition! TL;DR There is a short how-to on newbloods.org / sandboxclan.net/newbloods <-- click this!! It has big buttons!Okay so a quick FAQ: - I don't have a team, I don't know anyone that plays comp, I've never played comp before ... How could I possibly join a tournament!?
Hah! Aren't you a downer! (no seriously, shut it) The process is simple, join up with the people in the Pickup group mumbles (one in NA and one in EU) where we are directing all new players. You can join some pugs and you can find people to create a team with! - I really, really, have no idea what I'm doing...
That's normal, Tribes: Ascend is on-par with Starcraft in learning curve and complexity. It's impossible to be good without being bad first. We have many mentors standing by to explain to you even the very basics of tribes combat and competition. These people will be in the PUG mumbles. - All seems a bit short notice ..
The teams that will be formed for this tournament will be new and inexperienced. Keeping this group together will be a hard thing to do. There will be a 'free agent' option so we can sub people in and out of teams. But we want these teams to at least survive until the tournament starts. This will also focus the people coming into the PUG community so they aren't spread out over many weeks (at which point interest will wane). - And where to we go from here?
So, Sandboxclan.net is now most definitely live. We have a media library to help out new people, we have on-site mentors on the forums and we have a lot of up-and coming workshop sessions to help people with specific roles. The newbloods tournament will become part of a 'new player league system', this certainly won't be a one-off event!

| Is this the point where "nobody is playing anymore" and "the game is dead"? |

LT is a very small minority, most people still prefer 7v7 - most just don't know how to go about it. This is why we're doing this newbloods tourney, get everyone informed and playing! |

What is LT? Is this some kind of splinter community like what happened with Smash Bros where they had to form a council to ban certain things in order to create a competitive game? |

That has happened long ago already. LT was in previous games too, 5v5 path only 'cause the game is what it is and the community(read few comp teams) is trying to make something out of this game, can't blame them though. |

Its not really splintering anything to be honest. |

Its 5v5, no vehicles, pathfinders only. It stands for "Light Tribes" and was something that started in T1 for a couple of reasons. The first was that they played light only in spawn because that was the best way to play anyways, so someone said "hey lets make a mode where we spawn in our loadouts!". Then as the playerbase dwindled it became more and more popular until it was the only mode played. |

| Just played my first pug as a capper and i had a blast, my team won 2-1. Its soooo much better than playing normal games, theres actually teamwork lol. Just found out these pugs are being streamed, Here we're all newbloods so if you are interesting in joining pugs for the first time, you can check out how they work. Last edit: 2012-08-11 13:16:34 |

I came to the first one of those a month or two ago. The only thing I remember is getting destroyed by a raider, Keikran I think. Fun times :D
My tribes keeps freezing every 5 seconds at the moment though, haven't found a solution so far. |

Because we tested it and its awful in TA. The maps have palaces for bases, generators take forever to repair, and the balance between defense and offense is already in the O's favor anyways. |
