I recently got it too.

It is absolutely boss.

I can't really play it until I get my wlan card replaced :/

Here are the patch notes:

Oh wow.

I mean, wow.

Wai wtf? WTF?

Why the hell did they go and remove classes? Jumper was my absolute favorite :/

You can still make a Jumper.

It's just not called that anymore.

Yes, I just read that and now I just feel silly.

My wlan card should arrive within 2 weeks. Then I can start playing again. Hopefully some of the players have gotten their **** together and actually work as a team now, instead of mindlessly hunting for kills. CTF was painful to play.

Since you get all your previous XP and tokens refunded with this patch, I fully upgraded the engineer (except the motion mine and perks which I couldnt afford) and fu­ck me it is absolutely brutal for flag/gen room defence.

Thumper, Imp repair tool and 2 turrets, full armour and full upgrades on the thumper and turrets.

The thumper does like 1k damage with a direct hit now, I cant wait to get the motion detector and start bitchslapping people fully.

They changed the weapons around a bit so you can specialise flag-chasing etc - this patch has improved the game hugely in my opinion.

I'm specializing in Generator assault and close-medium quarters face raping. Unfortunately, I only have the Brute and soon the Raider. However, who needs good play when you have constricted spaces and Fractal Grenades? Throwing three of those things is the fastest and easiest way, hands down, to score a posthumous double kill or smite a Generator like the wrath of god itself. It acts as murder machine, Infiltrator killer, area denier, building killer, blockade remover, and unintentional suicider.

With the right perks and such, you can have up to five of them. Five fractal grenades. This fact makes me so happy.

Anyone else have an opinion on these Green Grenades of Death?

I sort of kill-hunt. The classes I like to play just seem to specialize in Base Raping, so I try to go in and mess things up as hard as I can before our Pathfinders get there. This leads to me chasing people through a base with a Shotty in one hand and a picnic basket of explosives in the other.

I perfer to hurl myself at the flag at 270kph.

Or to throw a sticky grenade like I have parkinsons, or arthritis.

Looks like the open beta will start on Friday. I might look into this game then.

It is fun, but none of my friends play it and I haven't really had any incentive to play it since then. Maybe if they add new maps. However it is fun, so I would say go for it

Okay so i jumped on for the first time in a month or two, and I can honestly say I really like what they did with this update. You can mix and match a lot of the old classes and customize however you want, which I think is really cool (I especially like having the spinfusor and thumper on my soldier ) . I haven't played any CTF yet, so i'm not sure how its working out in there, which I believe is the most important gametype for tribes. However, in TDM I've been having fun just relaxing and shooting some discs around. Also the new gametype, Arena, is what i've been playing the most and it is a blast. It's 5v5, close quarter, multi-leveled maps that are very easy to fall off or blast others off of. The games are quick and fast paced, just an all around good time. The only downside is that there are only two maps for it right now.
TL;DR - I like the new update and Arena is fun. More people need to play this game now that it is in open beta

Me: Yeah, it's a shooter focused around frictionless movement, jetpacks, and leading targets

Friend: Frictionless? Are there hills? That could be fun

Me: Lots of hills, you fly around everywhere at hundreds of kilometers per hours

Friend: So it's Tiny wings with guns! I'll download it now

CTF is still painful to play. We had a match where there were 2 hostile heavies and a raider in our base THE ENTIRE MATCH with 2 lights trying to separately take them down. This while I've destroyed the enemy gens, killed 2 defenders and grabbed the flag. The rest of the team was here and there. We did have 1 heavy sitting on our flag post and looking menacing with a missile launcher.

Also, I'm apparently too quick with the pathfinder. I was left without any guards when I grabbed a flag and was speeding back to the base at 170km/h. And by some stroke of bad luck I smacked into a brute


I can not wait for dedicated servers. Team deathmatch and arena till then for me. Too bad the xp gain is non-existent in comparison.

I've only gotten one good bout of teamwork. A guy typed my name into chat and kept spamming the Wait On My Signal. Then he told me to go as soon as he did, except at an angle to in front of the base. He was a raider, I was a pathfinder. He did the voice command for Attack, flew through with his shield on, I wound up close to him in front of their base and he was barely alive with the flag on him. He throws it, I barely grab it, and I'm at full HP at 200 km/h flying towards our base. Then he he gave the voice command for I Am The Greatest, switched to a Doombringer, and spent the rest of the game defending.

Still, it was Badass, and I'm surprised it worked.

On that note, has anyone here Doomcapped? Pick Doombringer, bring the flag to your base. I've done it once on Drydock against a really disoriented team, and once on Temple Ruin by approaching their base from the far back, so I flew through at over 200 km/h, and was able to retain the speed for long enough to make it back. Once again, enemy team didn't have much defense going on for them. It's stupid, but amusing, and I got the That. Just. Happened. accolade for the round.

I ******* hate doombringers. Soooo annoying
