Fractals have a pretty long activation period and don't deliver their load in a single charge like all other grenades. If you keep repeatedly getting killed by them you're doing something wrong.

Just move out of the way.

That brings me to a question:
Are all classes balanced enough for competitive play? (im far from being good enough to play comp but i am working on that ^^)

You won't see many Brutes. While he's arguably the best class indoors, he isn't better enough at it to make up for the worst outdoor dueling.

INFs have their uses as well, but I tend to find that Soldier is a better flagstand-clearer and Raider is a better base-raper.

You'll see a decent smattering of everything else though, and no class is unplayable at the moment either. Brute could probably use some love from Hi-Rez, however.

i've been playing nothing but pathfinder but down the road i may want to switch classes. however in these types of games when switching to a slower class i'm always extremely frustrated with the slugishness of my new class compared to the old. for people who have done a transition from pathfinder to anything else, has this been a problem? i hate being slower than anyone else lol

Yeah, i believe TotalBiscuit was talking about how the Brute is absolutely UP too
I stick with the pathfinder to get some xp for now

It really depends on what you want to do / what modes you play. The soldier class can go fairly fast with thumper/disc 'jumping' and is nice for fragging in general.

you don't necessarily shoot below you to fly up but you often shoot next to you to give you a speed kick, but other than that, yes. You shoot the ground hurting yourself to give you a kick (physical kick).

Note that you can use your impact nitrons for this as well. These give you a (bigger?) boost and do less self-damage than a spinfusor disc. Just don't do it when you're already holding the flag!

Egocentric is also really good to unlock for pathfinders for this reason - it significantly reduces the damage you take when propelling yourself forwards in this way.

True - compared to the weapon unlocks it's not so much, but it is a fair bit more than some of the upgrades. I'd probably prioritize the armor and pack upgrades if you haven't completed those yet, then get whatever perks you want, then work on unlocking/upgrading weapons (this holds for pretty much any time you want to start working on a new class)

Whats everyones views on the esport viability of this game, seems like it could be extremely fun to watch given the right spectator tools.

this doesnt answer your question... but it seems as if there are 2 options. you can pay what is equivalent to full price for the average game and get enough gold to unlock as much content as you'd like, or if you spend the amount of time playing that you'd spend playing any other game that you paid for then the same amount of content will eventually be unlocked

either way... you're going to make the same investment you'd make in any other game to get all the content, either by paying or playing for it

I earned maybe 12 000 xp playing one night and I'm not the best player. If you like the game an focus on one class it won't take that long until you have the most crucial upgrades.

The Plasma Gun is stupidly powerful. I got 9 Airmails with it in the span of a sub 5 minutes deathmatch game (the projectile's hitbox is incredibly large). I can't imagine it not being nerfed very soon.
The new SMG is rather good, not sure if it's really better or worse than the normal one though.
The Grenade is ok, but I think the White-Out will still be a better choice.

This update is a disaster, really worries me for the future of the game if they do updates like that.. I played in an arena, an opponent had the plasma gun and had 33 air mails during the game.
I've never seen anything as imbalanced in a game, it will get fixed but that's still really stupid from hirez to do a move like this.

this airmail thing was really obvious from the trailer only. i mean, the guy hits 80% of his midair shots doing 500 damage each .. lol?

are those as op in ctf or are they less relevant there? i usually only play ctf, haven't had a look at it today and debating whether or not i even try before this thing gets balanced..
