[QUOTE=Nobaddy;33519686]I suck at this game, but it's fun.[/QUOTE]
It's hard, brutally, unforgivingly, unendingly hard.
The movement aspects and all that mean you have to aim and react quickly, very quickly and it's not just fastest finger oooh no!
You have to take into account, where he's going to be, where he may land, if he is turning mid air, will he fire off one last jet pulse to throw me off?
This game is mostly luck, but with a bit of practise you can tip the odds in your favour and come out trumps most of the time. All I can say is, keep trying, eventually you will find the tips and tricks that give you the edge.
How do i install Hi-Rez command thingy? it just says it failed when its done
Just installed Hi-Command. Time to see how horrid my DL speeds are.
Patch time
[quote][b]Patch Notes for December 1, 2011[/b]
Tribes Closed Beta Version 0.1.585.0
Server downtime: The Tribes Servers are expected to be down for several hours on THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2011 while the patch is deployed. Watch the Server Status in Hi-Command for latest availability information.
[b]Major Highlights since Version 0.1.562[/b]
The Team Deathmatch gametype is now available for play on two maps (Drydock Night and Crossfire). Upon the first death in the match, a flag will spawn. Your team earns a bonus for each kill made while the team holds the flag.
Added a “First Win of the Day” Challenge that rewards additional XP and tokens upon your first victory in a day. The "day" begins at 09:00 UTC time.
Added the “Orbital Strike” call-in (default bound to "3"). It is similar to the Tactical Strike, with a much wider radius and higher credit cost.
[i]Reduced the token amounts required to unlock classes.[/i] ----Yay!
Settings: “Reduce Weapon Size” option has been added along with many others, including an option to disable help messages and an option to disable framerate smoothing.
[Matchmaking: Very basic match-making segmentation to help lower ranked players play with lower-ranked players.
Fixed a number of bugs that caused sudden speed drops when skiing or jetting uphill. Other issues may remain. Please report as you find them.
By default, objective icons for all major elements on a map (generators, vehicle stations, equipment stations, etc) are now shown when you first enter a map. Hit "O" to turn off the markers.
[b]Balance Changes[/b]
General: Increased both the time before health regeneration begins and the duration of the regeneration.
General: The credit reward for a kill assist has been increased.
Brute: The Fractal Grenade is now available for testing.
Brute: The Heavy Spinfusor now does more damage to vehicles and base turrets.
Doombringer: Minor improvements have been made to the missile tracking on the Saber Launcher.
Juggernaut: The Heavy AP Grenade’s damage to players has been increased.
Juggernaut: The Heavy AP Grenade’s damage to generators has been reduced.
Raider: The Grenade Launcher’s damage has been slightly reduced.
Ranger: The AP Grenade’s damage to players and generators has been reduced.
Survivalist Perk: Reduced the health and ammo gain to 20%, down from 35%.
[b]Additional Items[/b]
Several crash fixes
Variety of modifications to existing CTF maps for balance and visuals.
Code was added to fix/prevent the “godmode” damage bug that sometimes occurs.
The loading screen has been updated to include map name, game rules, and various gameplay tips.
The Rabbit scoreboard has been improved.
The class screen now highlights the Pathfinder and Juggernaut classes (the least expensive) if you have not unlocked them.
Summary window may be closed at match end to allow for chatting and VGS use.[/quote]
The 15000 token classes are down to 9800, and the 7500 ones are now 4900.
Orbital strike costs 15000 credits in the game. Have not seen it used yet.

Small weapons.
Increased both the time before health regeneration begins and the duration of the regeneration.
Reduced the token amounts required to unlock classes.

Holy crap, this is amazing. Im so crap at it, but it's so good.
Played some 2v2 team Deathmatch, need to try out CTF.

Summoned an orbital strike myself. An orange particle column glows from the sky, then comes the orange rain of lasers. Not worth it, imo. I rather have the six tactical strikes than one orbital strike.
constantly F5'ing this thread hoping someone posts a link to a beta key giveaway :(
Jumper seems like a fun class. Pretty new to the game, but still.
Today I nearly killed a guy in Team Deathmatch, at least I got some credits for my try.
So out-of-the blue I receive an email today saying I've been accepted into the beta; little late Hi-rez. I applied months ago!
Wooh! I just got in the closed beta!
Got a beta key to this game and I don't even remember signing up :P

YES!
One of the biggest issues with this game just disappeared.
Ski ski ski ski grab flag ski ski ski ski win match.
Average day for me as a flag captor.
Only a few people chase me usually too.
i forgot the name but my favourite map is the one with 2 large ships surrounded by small hills, islands and generally tropical stuff.
because i often end up capping 3 out of 5 flags there, if it's a new game.

Man I love this game, the F2Pness doesn't bother me too much cause the game is fun enough with the first 2 classes. Also is the pathfinder any good or should I keep on saving?

TDM, if you're wondering. We won by 1 point.

Why does it say CTF?
[QUOTE=Ogopogo;33531006]Why does it say CTF?[/QUOTE]
it's also not on drydock, I don't think the bottom part is working, it's a beta and all. If you look at the map you can tell it's whatever map that is.
[editline]1st December 2011[/editline]
actually it may be called drydock, but the CTF part is probably hard coded in atm.
