Killing people with the thumper does feels dirty when it's not in the gen room.

Try the pathfinder shotgun, I cringe every time I kill someone with it. That thing does so much damage, for so little effort, it isn't even funny.
Game needs to nerf snipers and vehicles badly to be playable in competition. Nitrons need a fix as well as flag punting. Maybe remove flag knock-offs from nitrons? I don't know, but the game needs to keep the fast pace.
I didn't really notice the jetpack thing until the posts in this thread but now that I know about it, man is noticeable lol. If I get knocked off a tower and I activate jetpack I feel like I just plummet faster.
Got 2.2k xp from one match without first win of the day. We tied after holding a 4 point lead after about 20 minutes or so. Won 5 minutes into overtime. X_X

Now, I played alot of Tribes back in the day.
This felt like Tribes. It played like Tribes. It was so much fun, it brought a big smile to my face as I was playing. I'm so happy.
Thanks for posting. As a competitive Tribes player back in my teens this is what I wanted to know. I should be in game in about a week or so I hope. Gotta get out of Afghanistan first .

shield pack + NJ4 makes you hands down the best 1v1 dueling class in the game.
Some guy asked me to join his clan yesterday, I almost got this feeling of accomplishment or something. Getting tired of grinding through pubs though, should sell some property to get a microphone so I can join scrims & have some real fun.

This includes the elimination of several items that would cause deadstops and hitches, as well as a bug that would allow you to ski/jet along the boundary wall.

While in a match, the Class Select screen provides an indication of how many of your teammates are currently playing each class.
The new Purchase Vehicle menu now shows how many of each type of vehicles are currently spawned. The option to purchase a vehicle is locked when a max for that vehicle is reached in a match.
New Features are showcased when entering the menus.
Fixed an issue where throwing grenades or executing melee attacks in rapid succession could have the server and client get out of sync and animate strangely.
If a player picks up a dropped ammo pickup while their current weapon has zero ammo, the weapon automatically reloads the new ammo into the clip.
Made a variety of changes to weapon FX to help improve performance.
Fixed issues with Quick Draw perk where the client was not scaling the putdown/retrieve animations correctly and where the server was not switching fast enough (and leading to some dry fires).

Fixed an issue where firing and reloading a shotgun was allowing them to be fired faster than intended.
Fixed an issue where zoom was not being re-enabled when a player was zoomed and a reload occurred.
Fixed an issue where pushing someone to their death with Sonic Punch was not properly rewarding the kill.
Fixed an issue where players were able to either stand on or hop over the boundary wall in some maps.
Fixed an issue where the energy conduit in Nightabatic TDM did not extend all the way to the ground.

Fixed an issue where the fumbled flag post process effect wasn’t playing.

When in-scope with the Sniper Rifles using the Sentinel Class, the targeting reticule no longer color shifts to red when hovering over enemy players. Although, the reticule does continue to turn green when hovering over friendly players.
Fixed an issue where vehicle sounds would constantly play if you exited the Beowulf as the gunner while it was on fire.
Fixed an issue where there could be two flag carriers on the same team in Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag.
Fixed an issue where teams could be credited for multiple flag caps or a single flag cap if the flag carrier landed on the flag (either on-stand or out in the field) in a certain way with the Reach perk active.
Fixed an issue where the call-in confirmation sound would play but the call-in wouldn’t activate.
The most notable for me is the Nitron change. Not being able to nitronboost when e-grabbing/getting a severe lack of speed for some reason (e.g. fail) when capping if going to be a pain. Fusor/bolt boosting takes more health and boosts less, I think.
Of course, it might just be a way to get more people to actually buy the explosive nitron...
Edit: Also, being in sweden, would London or Amsterdam be more appropriate? I would assume Amsterdam would be closer for.. well, everyone except UK/Ireland, really...
The notes look like a step in the right direction. I primarily play Pathfinder with Nitrons and agree they are way too good in their current form. Props to the devs.
I heard the new map is a rework of Bella Omega. Anyone confirm/deny? I'm mainly curious because I'd like to see some more maps with vibrant colors such as Crossfire/Temple or even Katabatic(yes, I know it's just pure white but... it's not dull graygreenish like Arx/Bella/Drydock).
Hopefully I'll soon be back to grinding for my Pilot perk. Shrike duels end in LOL HES GONNA TUR- oooh... so often.
