[QUOTE=imasillypiggy;34436015]So i'm planning on buying vip. Should I spend the gold on classes or does the gold do something else besides class unlocks and boosters?[/QUOTE]
Buy like one or two classes, but hold on to some of it for future updates.
I was inside the enemies generator room as juggernaut with low health ,250 ping and people shooting at me so I knew I was going to die. I start randomly shooting fusion mortars at the ground and manage to kill the 6 enemies next to me allowing me to survive. I don't how to feel about this.

That's the reason you survived.
[QUOTE=The golden;34432761][b]DO NOT SPEND YOUR TOKENS ON INFILTRATOR.[/b]
It is currently the most useless class in the game. It is extremely difficult to do anything without besides harassing the generator and blowing up sensors. (A job which ANY other class can currently do better). It is so underpowered.[/QUOTE]
I'd sell back infil for half tokens, same with sentinel.
Is juggernaut worth buying?

Or should I save up for tech, since I spend a lot of time repairing generators, vehicles, etc.

Why sentinel?
[QUOTE=krail9;34437381]Why sentinel?[/QUOTE]
Sentinel requires godly aim with both the Nova Colt and the BTX sniper. You're a one-man killing machine if you have said godly aim, but it's nigh-useless if you don't.
[QUOTE=krail9;34437381]Why sentinel?[/QUOTE]
It's a powerful class to be sure, it just isn't for me. Plus I'm annoyed that the rifle is a charge and fire mechanic.

Clearly, you didn't play Tribes 2, did you?
[QUOTE=Bugga12;34437590]Clearly, you didn't play Tribes 2, did you?[/QUOTE]
A little bit. It never worked right for me. I played a shitload of Startsiege.
Whats your point?
[QUOTE=Bugga12;34437590]Clearly, you didn't play Tribes 2, did you?[/QUOTE]
Just because something was in the classic games it doesn't mean it's good. Ascend is pretty different to starsiege and T2 so I don't really think it's fair to say that.
[editline]edit[/editline]
That said, I like the charge-up mechanic and I think it's a good way to nerf the sniper rifle instead of reducing damage or something.
[QUOTE=lord0war;34437344]Is juggernaut worth buying?[/QUOTE]
Yes. I used to be at the bottom of the scoreboards before getting juggernaut but now i'm usually in the top 3.

Can you sell back classes? That would be very helpful.

He's saying that he would return the class if he [I]could[/I] because it's so bad.
You guys don't know what you're talking about. Infiltrators are amazing. They suck when you first get them but fully upgraded they are absolutely amazing.
Let me break it down for you.
Stickies: You start with two, fully upgraded you get FIVE (with the hoarder perk). Five stickies can destroy a level 4 generator. It also lets you use them on players without a second thought and totally wrecks everything indoors.
Melee: You can only kill lights in one shot, but upgraded you can kill medium in one backstab. Makes a WORLD of difference.
Cloak: Fully upgraded only costs half as much energy.
So I decided to take your advice and get juggernaut. My first few games with him I sucked, then in my last game I did god damn amazing.

Also, I forgot to spend any of the credits the entire round :v:
And the enemy had 4 brutes on their team. Fractal grenades everywhere.

They're still shit at actually [I]infiltrating[/I], though. Why take Infiltrator when you could just run in as a Scrambler, or a Juggernaut? The Infiltrator decloaks whenever he does [I]anything[/I] - be it throw a grenade, melee, take any damage, or fire his gun. The instant you decloak, everyone knows where you are, and every turret nearby murders the shit out of you.
It would have been better off as a "Chaser" class or something, IMO. The silenced pistol does crazy damage and their SMG is fuck-all annoying when you're capping.
Bah, merge break
Ran into two brutes today, while defending our generator
Both had the perks that allow you to carry an extra grenade, and the one that gives you two when you pick up ammo.
Holy shit that was annoying. Fractals... Fractals everywhere. Didn't help that two teammates constantly kept dying and resupplying them.
[QUOTE=Raidyr;34437827]A little bit. It never worked right for me. I played a shitload of Startsiege.

My point was that, if memory serves me right, the sniper in T2 used energy. So you couldn't really fire it as fast, or for as long, as you do with this rifle. (Even with full charges)
I know you guys say infiltrator is underpowered but i'm so sick of playing the same classes over and over again.
i like this game a whole lot
finally a game im actually good at
This game is annoying. It's almost as good as tribes 2 but it isn't, the vehicles are clunky and the good ones don't exist. This class unlocking thing is poor too, I'll get bored of this game way before I have the opportunity to unlock another. Half the fun of tribes was constantly swapping out your kit and doing different things as required - there's just not enough to do in this game. I'm not a fan of the graphics either, everything looks like it's coated in some weird shiny stuff although that one map with the ship as the base looks pretty rad.
Shooting people with the spinfusor hasn't lost its charm though :v:

Maybe that's why it's in closed beta?
I just got this. Sodding great.
I agree that INF is weak, but he's still a blast to play and one of my favorite classes (probably number 1 if Hi-Rez ever buffs him). Cloaking up to the EFC and snatching the flag when he drops it to heal inside his own spawn room is amazing every time.

I personally seem to find endless fun in playing Pathfinder and flag capping, retrieving flags, or sabotaging the enemy base while I wait for either of those opportunities. I just find joy in going fast.
