Brutes are no problem for me as a technician. Just hit em couple of times with the shotgun and shoot em down with the smg. BAM A BRUTE BRUTALLY KILLED! It ain't even a joke yo!

[QUOTE=Sourcegamer8;36679304]Why is there always fucking Brutes camping the generator? It's so annoying when you're a single Technician and there's 3 Brutes knocking on your door every few minutes. That's what Infiltrators or Raiders are for.[/QUOTE] Just put two turrets on each side of the room and when he arrives, lob all your grenades at him before finishing him off with an smg. And then it was this one brute I encountered on crossfire; he had half his health left, and went in a straight line against me and the generator, this is why I like the rockwind to say it that way.

Just played a match and the enemy team had [b]7 brutes[/b]. We still managed to win despite having to play the floor is l̶a̶v̶a̶ fractal in our base.

Saving up for something fancy, what should I get, MIRV or Plasma Cannon?

MIRV is side-grade, plasma is superb medium-close range dueling weapon. It's worse in destroying assets/clearing flag-stand, but better in killing (usually). I'd go with plasma, MIRV is hardly better than vanilla or deluxe.

[QUOTE=LaughBann;36686533]MIRV is side-grade[/QUOTE] MIRV is a straight upgrade

[QUOTE=krail9;36686573]MIRV is a straight upgrade[/QUOTE] Not really, the deluxe is straight upgrade. Mirv does less damage at the edge of explosion, and is worse indoors/medium range. Its slightly better while sitting on hill and spamming at flagstand, but not straight upgrade.

Ugh, I wish the infiltrator wasn't so damn expensive in terms of XP needed to unlock it. Also, any tips for a newblood like me?

find a role you like, practice it, watch tutorials, watch videos of pugs/scrims, play the game, etc. also new banner for my stream page [img]http://static-cdn.jtvnw.net/jtv_user_pictures/beardyduck-channel_header_image-010df30d3c90fd4a-640x125.png[/img]

When I get bored of doing things the sensible way, I take the infiltrator, a repair gun, and the mechanic perk and go quietly dismantle all of the enemy buildings with it. Are there many other stupid perk/class combinations worth trying?

I briefly envisioned a grenadier Sentinel class using the Falcon, the grenades SEN gets, and the perks that increase belt item count/effectiveness. [editline]9th July 2012[/editline] Mostly want to try this because I want SEN game time and I hate sniping in any game.

That was a fun match. Starting to get routes perfected. [t]http://i.imgur.com/P3WuH.jpg[/t]

Take super heavy with the pathfinder that has the thrust pack. Have fun thrusting into people!

[QUOTE=SataniX;36687805]That was a fun match. Starting to get routes perfected. [t]http://i.imgur.com/P3WuH.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] how do you guys get that view at the end of the match?

Press the right arrow on the side.

I absolutely fucking [i]love[/i] the Tech's SMG. I can destroy people with the Rockwind. This one time there were 3 fucking heavies bombing our flag base. I kept marking them with Alt but nobody was really doing anything, so I went up that hill myself to give those heavies a stern talking-to. They were quite hostile, and did not seem to take the lecture my weapon was giving them kindly. I eventually had to call in some help from my friend the turret, for he is quite good at placating any rowdy characters. I did, in the end, calm those 3 heavies down, leaving me with 4 bullets left in my Rockwind.

I'm really hoping a new content patch soon. I need something scrawl over.

[QUOTE=The golden;36689752]Content is probably going to be few and far between as they are working on SMITE now.[/QUOTE] I wish they would give up on that game. It's never going to compete with LoL, DOTA, or HoN.

[QUOTE=The golden;36690424]It's never going to be able to compete with other MOBA games while Hirez is at the wheel. They probably don't even know what the word "balance" means.[/QUOTE] Harsh I feel, it's not perfect balance wise but it's been much worse.

Now I've been saving up some experience for awhile now and the main class I play is Infiltrator. Should I get a Jackal or the Stealth Spinfusor?

[QUOTE=Causicus;36693589]Now I've been saving up some experience for awhile now and the main class I play is Infiltrator. Should I get a Jackal or the Stealth Spinfusor?[/QUOTE] Have mercy, go with the spinfusor

[QUOTE=Causicus;36693589]Now I've been saving up some experience for awhile now and the main class I play is Infiltrator. Should I get a Jackal or the Stealth Spinfusor?[/QUOTE] I hope you know that even mentioning the jackal starts a 10-page shitstorm in this thread.

Defense on sunstar is hilariously easy if the other team has no brutes or inexperienced infiltrators. Just pop two turrets on either side of both openings and get easy kills while repairing the sensors. Also, I'm not sure what I think of the TCG quickfuse, sure a shorter fuse is good when inside and the radius is quite large, but the TCG insta-kills light classes at full health. I suppose getting a shot with the rockwind wouldn't be too hard if the rate of fire wasn't so weird.

How do I scroll through the in game tips? It says to press ''' which I can only imagine is the apostrophe but that does nothing. [editline]9th July 2012[/editline] Also, [sp]GameStop[/sp] has a [URL="http://www.impulsedriven.com/tribesascend"]better starter pack[/URL] than Steam right now and at a better value. You do have to install their program to get the code but it's not necessary past that.

Wow, thats a pretty good deal, even if I do own all the classes already.
