I'm saving them for friends, but if someone really wants in and can convince me, I'm open to throwing one or two out there. Aussies pref, but anyone with good enough cause. | ||

I am quite sure it's my own internet connection because when I play Starcraft I get the 'Waiting for server' message fairly often but it's usually a second or two before it picks back up. Well with TA that 1 second kicks me out immediately. As you can imagine this is quite frustrating, I REALLY hope they add in some sort of 'waiting' period or something like most games have, otherwise I won't be able to play. I sent in a feedback email so I'll wait to see what they say, I'll update when I hear back. Yea I have been kicked fairly frequently as well. My internet may have the same problem This is in the patch notes for later this week: "Several optimizations and fixes meant to help reduce system crashes, minimize “disconnects”, and improve overall performance. Further optimization is planned for future patches. " | ||

Game is fun as hell overall. Best FPS I've played since TF2. I played TFC for a while and I love speed and movement in games, so T:A's skiing really appeals to me. I haven't figured out how to to "rocket" jump with the spinfusor though. I see people llama grab but jump with their fusor and get a ton of speed but every time I do it I just take damage and get minimal speed. Can someone explain if it works different than rocket jumping in TF2? The weapons all feel distinct and for the most part take a lot of skill to use. There are tons of airshot opportunities and I've already scored a bunch of good ones, including a double on a heavy armor. I wish there was some way to record matches or a replay feature because I would have liked to watch or maybe upload some of my shots but now they're gone forever . Despite hearing a lot of flak about the loadout system I don't mind it. I'm not a Tribes vet so I can't compare it to how it used to be, but as a newcomer who has played a ton of competitive FPS I think it's ok. One major dislike is how many tokens it takes to unlock a class and how poor the 2 default classes are in terms of diversity. They're way too similar so it's like you only get 1 class instead of 2. If they have to keep the same system I'd rather you get a choice of either Soldier or Ranger and 1 additional class of your choice. Speaking of classes, Ranger and Sentinel should be removed. Assault rifles are for modern warfare, not Tribes. Same thing with fucking snipers who just stand in some corner of the map and shoot people that can't even see them. I understand that caps not frags win games but it's annoying to be moving about the map and taking random shots that you can't do anything about. Overall I'm having a lot of fun playing, I just fear that these microtransaction and character leveling gimmicks are going to deny any chance of a competitive scene forming. | ||

Can someone explain if it works different than rocket jumping in TF2? Disc jumping atm is broken and needs to be tripled in its power from standstill (for lights at least). Also it gives you vertical momentum but not really horizontal which doesn't help when your from standstill either. So i find if you want speed you need to shoot behind you but the angle is a bit important because sometimes it can jsut bug and you can end up losing speed. The most consistent way of doing it though is when your already going down a slope and seems to work most of the time, especially at the very bottom of it. The physics in the game still needs tweaking a shit ton though, acceleration is terrible and jetting etc. so it should get better. | ||
