Sidenote: those of us who have reached level 10 by the end of beta (2 PM EST today if I understood correctly) will get a 10k xp badge (15k for VIPs, 30k for boosted VIPs). Might be worth spending that 250 facebook gold for a day's boost, if you can. | ||

Assuming 1500 vip xp / game, and 20 mins / game, that means 9000 xp / hour vs 4500 xp / hour normally. So I basically have to play 10 hours to earn it in.... not bloody fuckin likely. Of course there's still the badge bonus, but since gold is valuable and xp is not, I just don't see the point. Well, actually you only have to get past 42000 - 15000 = 27000 XP, since you'll get the bonus from the release reward as detailed above. That's still 6 hours though, which may be a bit overenthusiastic. | ||

Finally got around 40 FPS, but the gigantic weapon size, DOF and Bloom turned me away. Hope they can fix it soon, I'm real pumped about all the new competitive possibilities! | ||

You need a decent computer to get decent FPS in Tribes, but it sounds like you have a very old computer. My old computer which had an amd phenom x2 550 with a radeon 4890 and 4gb of ram would get 60-90 FPS. There is quite a bit of config tweaking you can do. Mine personally has decent graphic settings but small weapons, easy to see bullet/jet trails, no tree branches, and I can get 120 fps constant. | ||

It simply costs too much gold, imo, to unlock things. I agree it costs too much gold to unlock things. I'm not paying 10 bucks for a weapon, I unlock it with XP, no matter how long it takes. The sad thing is that the really expensive weapons(100k/780g) have a much worse ratio than the 42k/240g weapons. How does this make any sense? You're penalizing me for spending larger amounts of gold? Okay... But on the other hand boosters are bad too. I'm not sure if the estimate I posted above is completely accurate but playing 10 hours a day JUST to make the booster pay off is completely unreasonable. I don't see myself purchasing a booster unless they change it. I guess my 1k gold will sit there and rot :3 | ||

You can disable these by editing your tribes.ini and making sure Bloom and DepthOfField are both set to False. Tribes.ini guide. | ||

You can disable them in the .ini but as of the latest patch it doesn't work because they fucked something up. Issue is currently "being looked into". | ||

BXT is good, might never have to unlock phase if it works with your playstyle. Nova Blaster might be harder to use in comparison to the Falcon. It's not worth unlocking unless you're good at sniping people. Raider's the "best" class out of the box IMO. Technician needs a few unlocks to be up to full potential. | ||

Yeah, I've been working on raider, solider, and pathfinder slowly (priority in that order) but with a spike of xp I wanted to try something else. | ||

Sentinels are potentially game-dominating, but very unforgiving of poor aim. Raider default gear is amazing. | ||
