This looks like a perfect PC game. Please don't make this pay2win. And also no hats.

This is a very fun game.

Got excited when I heard about this, then heard it was F2P and made by Hi-Rez and disregarded it. (Global Agenda was pretty good, but for some reason it only attracted complete dumbasses.) Now that everyone's talking about it, though, I decided to get a beta key. The only experience I have with Tribes is with [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legions:_Overdrive]Legions,[/url] a clone released a few years ago. Is there a beginner's guide anywhere? So far, I know that I should go fast, and that's about it.

Unlocked the brute class today. Feels good man. Walk into the enemy generator room, clear it with some prisms, then use the autoshotty to clear out what's left. Cost a gorillian XP though.

[QUOTE=Twistshock;34571142]So long as it isn't too silly. Although a tophat would be hilarious.[/QUOTE] I'm waiting for the juggernaut hotdog suit.

[QUOTE=The golden;34581237]Oh, you're one of those skillless Fractal-nade spammers.[/QUOTE] What's funny about that is people seem to ignore the fact that they have access to arguably one of the best weapons in the game, the heavy spinfusor. One shot lights, 2 shot mediums, and only slightly slower reload.

why is everything so expensive

so i finally played my first game tonight, Shazbot........Shazbots everywhere.

Server went down and i paid PShop a visit. still experimenting. [t]http://i.imgur.com/puOyg.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=The golden;34581221]I know this is going to sound very controversial, but I honestly think the nerfed Tech SMG is useless. Without the Big-Thumper, the Tech is very much defenseless. I currently feel the Big-Thumper is very cheap so I decided to go back to the SMG to try and be fair and I couldn't kill jack-shit with it. Now I never was a crackshot with the SMG but I was at least able to fend off the odd person who singled me out. Now it's a death-sentence for me. It's amazing the difference 10dmg makes.[/QUOTE] The fire rate is so high on smgs the nerf becomes more pronounced. I can't really say whether the nerf is a good thing, because while weak on it's own, an aggressive technician who attacks using turret + main gun is extremely powerful. However it's stupid anyway that the smg is bad when the thumper is so good.

[QUOTE=The golden;34581413]The Heavy Spinfuser is balanced weapon for the class. The Disco Grenades are not. Fractal's can clear an entire gen-room full of dudes, destroy all deployables in it, and then blow up the level-4 generator. [editline]7th February 2012[/editline] I agree, it's a bit of a tough issue. Here is my current stance on the Tech: - The Big-Tumper needs to go. Get rid of it. Holy shit why does a defensive class have one of the best offensive weapons in the game. - The Light Turrets are not useful enough. They are as brittle as glass and do no damage so a single person can wipe an entire room of turrets without much trouble. The only way they can get kills is by killing dudes before they get their atttention. - The SMG (currently) is useless. It does so little damage that combined with the weak turrets the tech really has nothing going for it. (Besides the repair tool and thumper)[/QUOTE] -Replacing it with the Thumper DX would work -Light turrets are fine as is -SMG needs that extra damage back

are the default weapons for the 3 base classes good? or should I already save up for something else?

[QUOTE=The golden;34581413]- The Big-Tumper needs to go. Get rid of it. Holy shit why does a defensive class have one of the best offensive weapons in the game.[/QUOTE] Heh, they could give tech a crappy thumper dx, and change the default soldier to have big thumper as primary and light assault rifle as secondary. The idea being that it also fixes the awkward layout of the soldier guns so that you can't get the silly spinfusor+thumper and rifle+pistol combos. [editline]7th February 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Zukriuchen;34581548]are the default weapons for the 3 base classes good? or should I already save up for something else?[/QUOTE] tbh the unlockables for the three default classes are probably better but not by much and you'd get more benefit out of upgrading the shit out of your armour/packs/weapons/perks for less cost, unless you specifically want a different weapon.

just did a perfect orgasm-worthy mirv shot from halfway across the map that looked like artillery and killed 3 snipers on a hill i was going at about 130 sanics too [editline]6th February 2012[/editline] btw idk if I am the first person to buy the lmg for the juggernaut but to any people wondering about it: it is the best thing ever for the juggernaut all the weapons you have are splash damage until you get the lmg, it really rounds out the class and gives you the means necessary to finish off those pesky fast sanics

Can I have some help? My curser just won't appear on my screen. I can't go any farther then the login screen!

Welp, after the latest patch, the game crashes on startup every fucking time. Did a complete diagnosis and repair -- same thing. So I uninstalled and reinstalled and it's still doing it to me. D:

[QUOTE=Burgervich;34581734]Can I have some help? My curser just won't appear on my screen. I can't go any farther then the login screen![/QUOTE] im going to brain hemorrhage

If the game is free, why does it say Pre-Order for $30 or whatever to get beta access? I already got my beta code on Facebook but I'm still wondering.

[QUOTE=Funion;34581758]im going to brain hemorrhage[/QUOTE] Why?

[QUOTE=Burgervich;34581768]Why?[/QUOTE] every single page goes over this, also look at the OP im not going to be mean to you and call you dumb, i am a nice guy [sp]i lied you're dumb ;o[/sp]

[QUOTE=dill6869;34581534]-Replacing it with the Thumper DX would work -Light turrets are fine as is -SMG needs that extra damage back[/QUOTE] Light Turrets need to repair faster (and so do vehicles for that matter - it didn't like a minute to repair a Beowulf in T2, it shouldn't here). It's faster to let the enemy blow up an existing turret, then replace it with another turret than it is to repair a turret with a fully upgraded repair tool.

One shot lights, 2 shot mediums, and only slightly slower reload.[/QUOTE] They also have some of the [I]worst[/I] secondary weapons as well. The Auto-shotty is useless past 6 inches, and the Nova Colt only does ~70 damage at range, and 150 at point blank. The Colt is hitscan, but it's only a 6 shot revolver.
