[QUOTE=SnowCanary;34535661]Welp, I just got my key after a quick Google search. How is this game? Any good tips for a new player?[/QUOTE] Go fast, spam VGS and most of all, have fun. There's not really a wrong way of playing.

hi facepunch i need some help i guess i'm having some kind of graphics issue, when i start up the game and login, i can't even see my mouse cursor or the dudes on the main menu when i started a training game, it looked like there were no visible textures at all - everything totally black, except for the dim colors of the lighting and outlines of mountains has this happened to anyone else or is this just that one issue that has only happened to me and therefore everybody's gonna ignore this </3

Can't wait until I get my new GPU so I can play this.

Servers are back up. The launcher shows it as offline, just press F10, then play. You should be able to launch and log in.

So did anyone else lose their characters with the update? I unlocked Brute, Ranger, Technition, but now they are all locked.

[QUOTE=Khaos-23;34536100]So did anyone else lose their characters with the update? I unlocked Brute, Ranger, Technition, but now they are all locked.[/QUOTE] They refunded you (and everyone else) so that way you would have a fresh start.

[QUOTE=imasillypiggy;34536114]They refunded you (and everyone else) so that way you would have a fresh start.[/QUOTE] Oh I see, cool thanks.

Joined a game earlier and unfortunately joined the team that was 0 to their 4 in ctf. We won 5 - 4 and I got 4 flag defenses and 2 caps holla~

Holy fuck, TDM, enemy team had two more lives, I flick my mouse and shoot my Thumper as I see the flag carrier jetpack by me. Direct fucking hit, wins us the match.

[QUOTE=Kinglah Crab;34536749]so, what's GOTTAGOFAST in the secret code input do?[/QUOTE] It changes the km/h measurement to SANICS [editline]3rd February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Saber15;34532121][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/9YofL.jpg[/IMG] Fractal spam + Safety Third and the Heavy Spinfusor. :v:[/QUOTE] I'm more interested in that guy who went 2861 km/h...

Is 214000 XP a lot now? I haven't played in a while.

[QUOTE=Black0ut;34537177]Is 214000 XP a lot now? I haven't played in a while.[/QUOTE] 214000xp will net you pretty much all the upgrades for every class, AFAIK. Most of the guns are ~70k XP, and I think the classes are about the same. [editline]3rd February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=lord0war;34537017] I'm more interested in that guy who went 2861 km/h...[/QUOTE] I've had a couple games where that shows up.

thanks kinglah, repairing now... done. loving this game.

42000 XP for a weapon. You earn about 200 XP per match. 210 matches just for a weapon seems a bit much...

That feeling when you cap the game winning flag while at 20hp the whole time. VGTG

The game wont accept my name. It just says "Name not allowed" when I put it in, even though it's only letters and a space. Even when I removed the space it still happens.

[QUOTE=LittleDogX;34538042]42000 XP for a weapon. You earn about 200 XP per match. 210 matches just for a weapon seems a bit much...[/QUOTE] I usually get ~1000 on a good round and ~300-500 on rounds where I either have a hard time capping and/or killing people. I'm pretty sure they increased the amount of XP gained.

[QUOTE=The golden;34538120]Are you using "Janus Vesta" as a name? Many games/forums have a system to block out cuss words and maybe it's picking up the "anus" in "Janus"?? I dunno.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I thought that, but when I tried my alt name (which I need because of the 'anus' thing) it still rejected my name.

God damn. I love going fast. I'm getting REAL good at pathfinder. I dumped all my xp into him. Soon as I can, I'm unlocking the +1 grenade perk. Light Spinfuser Shotgun Recharge Pack Concussion Grenades +10 Energy Perk(Swaped soon) +Energy on AoE Damage Use the grenades to GO REALLY FAST. Its much better than the boost in my opinion, You sacrifice <=300 HP, get +40 to 80 Sanics and get an energy recharge from it. A well place one can send you really high up if needed, like reaching the flag at an odd angle. Using them to boost, you can keep some in reserve to catch other flag carriers, and its really easy by tossing 2 nades on the ground and hitting 220, using the other on him. The shotgun is really good if you can aim in close quarters, I take down heavy classes in 3-5 shots with it.

I found Perfumly. Don't have screenshots though ;_; I have to buy gold now and give all my money to him.

Also you can get pretty fast with the boost, then use the nitrons to get to 250+

[QUOTE=Zeos;34538200]Even at 1000, 42 rounds for [B]one[/B] weapon is pretty bad.[/QUOTE] And that doesn't include secondary weapons, weapon upgrades, perks, packs, armor upgrades which cost anywhere between 1000 XP and 12000 XP.
