FPS General

Tribes: Ascend servers were taken down briefly today while Hi-Rez Studios deployed a small but important update/bug fix to the game.

Included in today's patch:

Weapon/Balance Items

• Increased damage on Brute’s Heavy Spinfusor by roughly 7%.
• Modified the Pathfinder's Light Assault Rifle so that it has an increased projectile speed and fall-off begins at a greater distance (buffed). Projectile speed now matches that of the Soldier’s Assault Rifle.
• Reduced the collision size of Raider’s Plasma Gun projectile by roughly 40%. The weapon’s damage and rate of fire remain the same.  

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue that impacted the ability of the Shrike to fly vertically.
• Fixed an issue in which the First Win of the Day bonus was not being awarded in some scenarios.
• Fixed an issue that would prevent a player from deploying deployables.
• Recently earned badges are now shown correctly on the profile page.
• Several bug fixes and cleanups on the menu UI.
