If you intend to play a fair bit, get a booster. VIP and boost stack so you earn XP at a much increased rate. I think I unlocked one item using gold, but found it would have been better spent on a booster pack.

You should get the LAR because 100k exp is a daunting grind. Thrust is great XP/gold. Unlock perks and classes with XP.
edit: on boost it depends on how much you play but the smaller boosts aren't really worth it unless you decide to play like crazy that weekend or something.

The TL.net Tribes team is looking for a HOF(heavy on flag), anyone want to join the team who can do that?

I'd actually be interested. DMB HOF is what I primarily play, and I'd consider myself pretty decent at it. Where should I go to talk to you guys?
Edit: I go by BajaBlood on TA as well, btw

Bah. My doombringer ass would totally be in if I wasn't set for an extended visit to the land of no internet in a couple weeks.

Actually I think shotgun is more important, tbh. It is way easier too. Yes sometimes it is better to have the LAR when chasing, but it is pretty rare and shotgun is really good for getting clutch returns and/or in standoffs.

Just started this game and oh my god it's addicting. Found my favorite class has been base defense sentinel getting pretty good at sniping, one thing I am curious about is what's the deal with the pistol, is it worth purchasing the machine pistol? The main one just seems so bad.

Sweet, thanks. I'm off to bed now, but I'll be sure to hop on the channel sometime tomorrow.

Yeah, if you intend to play sentinel a lot you should definitely get the Falcon. It is in every way better than Nova blaster. Also, remember you can try things out in practice maps. Just click on the Falcon even if it appears locked and you will spawn with it.

I also just started playing this game and am having a blast. I've mainly been playing Pathfinder although I got a code to unlock the Soldier's medium Spinfusor so I'm considering trying that class out as well. It's really refreshing to play a game like this after a few generations of COD and then having BF3 be unplayable after a patch about 5 months ago.

i think you can just try the other weapons in training mode although you don't own them. No clue if that's true, haven't tried it myself, but i read it somewhere.
/edit: oh sniped, welp, overread that one ^^

Anyone else get the glitch where you sometimes end up with no weapon equipped and only crosshair showing randomly? Dying and inventory stations do fix it but still annoying ruining one spawn.
Also thanks for the Destructoid link for Spinfusor!

Not a big deal as of now, but this could be highly annoying with naked spawns enforced.

Yeah that happens sometimes... I can break it as a sentinel by using the jammer pack so that something else comes into my hands but I don't know that there are ''quick fixes'' for other classes.

I'm 32 years old, I've played every shooter since Wolfenstein 3D, played the original Tribes game, was an avid Quake player (I even have a quake tattoo), and I must say; this is the most crazily awesome shooter I've ever had the fortune of playing. It is so good, so challenging and so refreshing that I cannot believe it actually got made in the first place. The only thing that isn't surprising or mind boggling about this game is that it was made by a tiny, largely unknown, studio. Of course it was. Small innovative upstarts are what's keeping quality gaming alive these days. I sort of wish that the large publishers and studios would just die off, and leave the creation of new games to those with vision and imagination. Yes, even blizzard. I have no faith in them any longer. Too big, too greedy. All hail High-Rez!

New patch preview video is up

Ah. finally proper weapons for the Raider load-out.
|
It all looks so appetizing. I might start playing Raider again, as I really hated having to rely on the MG to duel. Skins look good as well, but I'm not sure I care enough looks (esp. mine) to actually drop gold on either.
