My first match after the latest patch as TCN went quite well.

juggernaut erry day
Bought jumper today, I still think that jumper's a bit weak, and the damage radius on the crossbow seems really small compared to the thumper and the spinfuser. The shotgun seems to have a longer range/lower spread, which makes it actually useful. If jumper's energy regenerated faster/boost ability used 80% instead of all your energy, and the crossbow was up to par with the light spinfuser, it'd be much better IMO. But hey, what do I know about game balance :v:
This game is so fun! I'm actually thinking about buying.

The problem with the jumper IMO is that its OP just by nature of what it is.
This whole game is about speed and momentum, meaning positioning and planning is key. The thrust pack is a big fuck-you in the face of that when you can randomly switch direction mid-air or suddenly spring away from the flag after a walking grab :v:
Hence why I think the jumper will always be (and should be) generally worse than the pathfinder, especially in terms of weapons.
Is there any way to get a beta key this late?
You can like their Facebook page or something like that and it gives you a key, I think. Alternatively, some people here can probably PM you one
ive got a beta code if someone wants it, message me.
I did the facebook like and got my code, this game is actually really fun after only about an hour played! I'm still getting used to everything, it seems like the class with the assault rifle sucks pretty hard though.

Do the SMGS do way too much damage or am I doing something wrong
it seems every time I'm going like, 210 km/h with the flag, it's always an SMG getting every hit on me and murdering me
[editline]11th January 2012[/editline]
Then again, it's probably just because no other weapon can hit somebody going that fast unless they're really lucky
Wait, are you saying that Ranger (the class with the assault rifle) sucks? Maybe it's just me but I'm doing fine playing it.
The ranger is regarded as the best class at the moment at all levels of play. Scrims between competitive T2 clans end up being 4 rangers per team with a couple sentinels and a raider for flavor.

It was recently nerfed, the thumper no longer does as much damage as the spinfusor. I am starting to see more of the other classes now.
Unlocked Infiltrator today. OK, yes, he's weak compared to other classes but man it's fun to play. For some reason I routinely get better speeds as INF than pathfinder, and the stickies are really powerful.
But shit's broken. Once a gen hits level 4 not even 4 stickies can do anything to it, so you're fucked if you're trying to take it down. Throwing stickies kills your cloak, so trying to sticky turrets is suicide unless you're going 100+ when you throw. INF is still great at its secondary role--ganking light classes and retrieving the flag when it's deep in enemy terrtory--but it needs a buff badly.
1. Make cloak fade less of a thing. Having fucking everything interrupt my cloak for 5 or so seconds is just shit.
2. buff the shit out of stickies, but only for machines. 2 stickies should kill everything except a level 4 generator, and 3 stickies should kill EVERYTHING. Don't change how much damage they do to players.
3. Alternatively, give the INF more stickies. a max of 6 as opposed to 4 would make it possible to kill level 4 gens at the current damage.
4. Buff the pistol. Pretty much nobody uses it over the SMG. It does comparable damage to the Eagle, and that thing is hitscan for god's sake.
5. Make INFs more of a direct counter to TCNs. Light turrets should be changed to not "see" INFs that are cloaked but jammed/faded.
Hopefully, things will get better for INFs soon, since TCNs are getting a nerf soon (if there is a god) which will reduce TCN-spam everywhere. Hi-Rez won't just ignore the weakest class in the game.
Having extreme fun with the Ranger at the moment. Once you learn how to aim the Assault Rifle you rape face. Soon unlocking the Survivalist perk and then going to try out pathfinder.
Infiltrator is a pretty good chasing/harassment class but it is awful at infiltrating and demolishing bases.

What are you talking about, INF is amazing for that (duh). Speed + stickies + cloak means you can have the enemy gen down within 30 seconds of game start. Then once gen is down you blow up turrets and sensors. Then you probably get killed, respawn and kill the generator again while they're repairing all their other shit.
It gets pretty impossible later in the game when everything's leveled up, and TCN spam is FUCKING TERRIBLE right now, but INFs can still do their jobs.

Isn't it free to play after beta?

Soldiers do the job better. I dunno about Rangers after the Thumper nerf. Also scramblers, raiders, and any heavy.
[QUOTE=Mr. Agree;34159683]Isn't it free to play after beta?[/QUOTE]
Buying it gives you the VIP status along with some gold and bonus time.
But yeah, it's free after beta
So I've got Pathfinder (which appeals to my desire to win), Juggernaut and Infiltrator (which both appeal to my need to be a dick every once in a while). What should I go for next?
[QUOTE=Mr. Agree;34159683]Isn't it free to play after beta?[/QUOTE]
If you buy it, you get more XP, and you can buy the classes.
Finally started playing // addicted
9800 tokens WOOOOOO!!!!!
Getting scrambler
oh man going after the enemy generator as a juggernaut is just funtastic. spam fusion mortar rounds everywhere and someone's bound to get killed
So, I finally get a beta key, right? The game's downloaded. I hit play. My screen goes black and guess what happens?

Yes, I've redownloaded and "repaired" it, but it still gives me this error. Specs, as I'm sure you guys are going to ask for it.
ATI Radeon 6700 series (Forgot the actual number. Whoops.)
Intel i3 530
RAM, 12 GB DDR3
Windows 7 Home Prem. 64-bit.
Can anyone help?
Oh, and yes, my GPU is overclocked.
Thanks Krail, you're very helpful. Totally not sarcasm.
