Awesome thanks for pointing that out forgot about practise mode after the recommended skiing one and had no idea about being able to try locked weapons and classes. | ||

Bart said on his AMA that they passed the sales of Tribes 2, which was that much. | ||

Still vastly prefer Juggernaut over the other four classes I've tried, probably try to grind 100k xp now to unlock the LMG, hope it's not a disappointment... Personally, I recommend everyone spend their points unlocking all the classes first and getting a feel for each of them and deciding what you like at first. Then once you know what you like, and know that you like the game enough to keep playing, buy some gold and unlock the super expensive guns for the classes you like. Personally, after playing the game for 3 months I gave them $50 and had enough to unlock each of the 100,000 credit weapons as well as 3 months of xp boost to unlock all the upgrades i need. Buying ANYTHING gets you permanent VIP which increases your xp gain (including first win of the day) by 50% | ||

We'll definitely need your for capping. We also need to think of a team name. If you'd like I could pop by and give you some tips/play vs you as a competetive player. I'm not really on a team in any official capatcity anymore so I can't scrim, but I could come help. | ||

It's a tournament sponsored by Hi-rez, it's a way to market the game. | ||

Game is pretty fun, I'm still not great. So/so capper sometimes on some maps lol. I think I do better with chasing. It's free to play so why not try it out? Takes a little getting used to on the ski/jetpack stuff. The 24 hour marathon was awesome, they gave out a ton of stuff to people. I threw some steam games I had sitting around into the mix to help out (DotA 2, Portal 1, L4D2, Nail'd (whatever that is)). Won 250 gold, had fun. | ||

What region do most people here play at? My ping is good for Asia-Japan/Singapore, Oceanic-Australia and North America-West, any suggestions? | ||

I play on east mostly. I live in the west, but west players in my opinion aren't as good in CTF. Most of the high ranked players on west can only play capper, or only want to cap. While most east high ranked can play variety of classes. West has the better players playing in TDM. I enjoy playing in the NKD spawn, no generator regen, no flag return, no orbitals, and no tactical strikes servers. Too bad not many people play on them. | ||

LMG + spinfusor grenades make the juggernaut an utter beast outdoors. | ||

Its the perfect class-based team FPS for me and has that great "easy to play, hard to master" trait. I love playing as pathfinder and admiring the scenery as it whizzes past at 100mph. The XP grind is (understandably) really goddamn slow...debating whether to splash out some gold credits....>< You can start by liking them on facebook for 250 free gold.  | ||

Egocentric and reach should be the first things you get for a pathfinder, though the gold:EXP ratio is bad on those. The LAR is generally more useful than the shotgun, but it's not the amazing auto that some other clsses have. The bolt launcher is more powerful than the spinfusor (notably, two near-misses from the bolt launcher can kill an upgraded medium class that isn't using a shield pack/determination/utility pack), but it's a bit worse for disk jumping. Thrust pack if you're chasing. Explosive nitrons have little use in CTF. | ||
