Oh god, Inferno looks awesome. I wonder what the utility pack will do? Time to save some XP.

My guess it replenishes your energy/health on activation.

Energy most likely

Yeah, I was just waiting for the volcanic theme to be added to this game, and I'm NOT disappointed by the looks of it!

Bring it, bitches and Funion.

here are the patch notes:

it seems to suggest the patch is coming today?

[Skwee]

"Ability to view either Blood Eagle or Diamond Sword skins from Class menu"
was wondering when that would be added

[Aedus]

Infiltrators using the Stealth pack now fade in and become "visible" at speeds over 173kph.

Sweet, no more high speed invisible infiltrator grabs.

The Doombringer and Brute have new suits. There have also been some adjustments to the suits for some other classes, based on user feedback.

Oh boy, here we go.

Curious to see these changes, the only butcher suit I didn't like was raider.

To be fair, shy of 2 kills that entire rampage was created by you.

Can someone explain to me how this is free to play but can be preordered for 30 dollars?

"Closed beta"
Still, all you have to do to play is either:
a) Wait until friday, the open beta release
b) "like" their facebook page and get a free beta key right away.

The game itself is free. You don't have to pay any money what-so-ever to play. The "pre-order" thing is basically giving you in-game stuff to use, like extra XP via VIP status, VIP servers (When they're released), Boosters to further boost XP gain and Gold to purchase a selection of new classes or weapons which you can unlock either via the gold, or via XP you gain while playing.

[Ereunity]

Bought thumper with gold because I was fed up of my team. It's pretty effective against infiltrators and dumb brutes/juggs. Also reasonably good outside too.

But get 1 smart person who knows to dodge it/aoe it's effectiveness drops rapidly.

Need to get myself some perks to improve my tech.

I wasn't talking about beta access. I was asking about when the game is released in ful

[Lukeo]

Down for patching nigguhs.
Arena sounds shit hot, but your wins/losses are going to fluctuate a lot depending on the teams.

Rabbit's being removed for the time being? aw :(
I loved it.

Utility pack = More health and 1 extra grenade

[jiggu]

How much damage does the prism mines that infiltrators have deal? Also anyone know what this bug is about?

Fixed an issue with the Sentinel's Phase Rifle not properly applying damage.

[Aedus]

I'll ask in a minute


Bart said it was that bug I mentioned a few days ago, double shotting 510 damage I believe.

[jiggu]

Oh alright.

Edited:

Are they fixing the damn turret-inside-inventory-stations?

[Aedus]

Yep that's fixed too.

[jiggu]

Good, pissed me off so much when everyone did that shit.

[Lukeo]

That sounds like a good idea, but I don't find inventory stations that hard to destroy.

Except they're immortal. The default ones, not the ones you buy and place yourself.

[Lukeo]

Oh yeah, that'd have been useful on Drydock.

God damn it This class does NOT need to be nerfed more.

[Lukeo]

I thought Infiltrator was fine as it is.
They could easily be stopped by a jammer, or motion sensors, all I do as Tech is place motion sensors around corners and switch the placement of them around every now and then and not one of them gets into the generator unnoticed.

[catbarf]

I dunno, it makes sense that they shouldn't be able to jet across the map, cloak when they get near the enemy base, and be in the generator room in ten seconds without ever being spotted. Jammer and motion sensor work as counters, but they're both expensive XP-wise so I don't often see them used.

[jiggu]

To me it seems like it's a little bit too easy to stop an infiltrator. Juggs spamming mortars, any sort of mines, jammers, motion sensors. Thought when played properly they're still very dangerous, and that's what makes them interesting.

[G-Man_v2]

HiRezBart thinking about Funion

[Kaelazun]

Downloading the patch now.

[Lukeo]

To be fair, I have bought an extra grenade and have Safety Third for the Infiltrator, giving me 4 in total.
I can destroy a generator with possibly only an added shot or two of a spinfusor.

Yeah but that's the point of the class.

[Aedus]

Probably old, but it's hilarious. Also downloading patch :)

I thought the point of the class is to be able to backstab players and destroy the generator with the added benefit of being able to cloak to aid infiltration, not cloak while inbound at terminal velocity to get to the generator without difficulty.

If the only challenge involved in getting to the gen room as an Inf is whether or not there's a motion sensor on it, it's a bad mechanic that should be tweaked. At least this way Infs have to be somewhat smart about how they get to the generator.

Well if the guys who are defending the gen have any common sense, they won't still still in corners and will move about looking for enemies, so if the gen does get attacked they can react straight away.
You have to bare in mind there's more challenge than actually getting to the gen, especially on a lot of maps where there's about 3 brutes down there, you have to be as quick as possible in those situations.

Then there's the fact that if there's a claymore/jammer/sensor, the entire above process can't even proceed unless the Infiltrator can get his ass way quickly.

I agree, and I don't think the Inf is overpowered and needs to be nerfed, just tweaked to be more fun to play as and against. It's no fun as an Inf to run into mortar spam and blow up. It's also no fun as a defender for the Inf to come streaking in cloaked at 200kph so that nobody sees him until he's already attacking the gen. It's no fun as an Inf to get lit up like a Christmas tree because someone put a jammer or sensor in the room. And it's no fun as a Tech to have to grind 75k exp for that jammer or buy gold for it, and without it be unable to find the Inf at all.

If they tweaked the game to make the Infiltrator rely on stealth and not simply be able to engage cloak and run at the gen, and changed the other classes to make it require equal smarts to find the Infiltrator and not simply be able to drop a motion sensor and spam explosives, it'd be perfect.

If there's three brutes sitting around in the gen room then you've already won, go fucking do something else, like harass the flag defense or destroy base turrets and shit.
