Post #201
Its hard enough to kill with melee so having to switch to it would make it even harder.

Actually no, disregard my apologies. Someone on /v/ noted that at an average of 700 XP per match (and that's if you're near the top of the scoreboard) you'd have to play at least 200 matches for a single one of the uber-expensive weapons available. So fuck 'em.
-
Gone are the days of people just being Soldier and Ranger (which is now gone) and replaced by a ton of other classes that effectively give one intense area of denial.
-
I ditched my Arx for a Grenade Launcher. Now I can actually do things for my team.
Arx is good for destroying base infrastructure, but its useless against moving targets. (But it does hurt if you somehow mange to hit them)
-
I keep getting the "Disconnected from the server, please log in again." message, help?
-
I'd love that, it'd definitely help when playing as Infiltrator.
-
Darn servers down. I have just going to have a game with all are friends.
-
just finished verifying files because of a texture glitch, as soon as it's done the servers go down.

You can still press a button to use it, but it's also selectable. Maybe making it selectable could make it slightly faster or something.
Imagine the BF3 knifing system (Minus the silly backstab shit)
Edited:
Oh, the servers are still down
Shit
Edited:
Back up, yay.

483 thousand XP yay

So apparently they made it so the Saber Launcher can only lock-on to flying targets. Meaning your target has to be flying for 3 seconds within a unobstructed view.
ie: It's now totally useless.
-
Just had a shitty match, due to some "clonesa" guy.
He set up like three turrets at one part of the map and stood there with the flag the entire round while everyone else on my team ran into the turrets like lemmings, so we lost.
fucking pathetic
-
Wasn't it like that before?
-
No. It could lock onto anything as long as it was within your FOV for 3 seconds. It then launched a slow moving but tracking projectile which is piss-easy to shoot down.
They then nerfed it to the point of uselessness because some whiners couldn't bother to shoot down the big glowing rocket.
-
Wasn't it always like that?
I still think doombringer is a dumb class anyway. They should rethink the doombringer and just make the saber a low cost call-in for when you need to deal with shrikes.
Edited:
Unless you're talking about ages ago I recall it always being that way in that it could only lock on to vehicles and airborn infantry.
-
Yeah, I recall touching down would reset the lock, if I remember correctly. I was even trying it out before the patch in target practice with similar results.
-
I think the Saber Launcher always has, and currently will only lock on to vehicles and airborne players.
-
No, I'm pretty sure it was always airborne players.
-
It is stuck like this, any idea?
-
Try the hirez diagnostic thing?
It is stuck like this, any idea?
-
Nope, wrong.
This is from the first couple days after release. It would only lock onto players who were airborne.
But it did a hell of a lot more damage back then (instagib versus non-upgraded mediums), so it was actually useful.
-
I downloaded the beta and put in my key, but when I launch the game it doesn't recognise half my keystrokes and I don't have a cursorr. Anyone able to help?
Okay I solved that issue. Now I can't put my player name in, it keeps saying it's not allowed. I am confuse.
-
Holy shit, Infiltrator with stealth Spinfusor is fucking ANNOYING to defend against.
I'm just annoyed by this patch in general. The game was designed for going fast but the defense classes are built to be so damn effective at their jobs that it's starting to become a real hassle getting past the 50 doombringers, brutes, techies, sentinels and raiders that hang around the flags due to every class being so cheap now.

4,689 PostsI don't understand how a class can be cheap if every class is cheap.
-
Yeah, this patch has really fucked over weapon and class balance. We have classes intruding upon the roles of other classes.
I don't like how they tried to solve previous class problems by either handing out bigger guns or nerfing the existing ones. They should instead focus on what makes the classes unique (which in most cases, is their pack). For example, rather than give the Tech one of the best offensive weapons in the game (Big Thumper), why not give him something to help his turrets? Due to the introduction of the Stealth Spinfuser, the Infiltrator is now pretty much interchangeable with the Pathfinder.
-
It's always been overpowered. I don't like most of the heavy class' delayed fuse weapons anyway. A lot of players just spam their shots until you can't dodge them anymore. There's no actual aiming involved.

4,689 Postsso, how did my friend get 3 million XP.
I joined maybe, 2 weeks after him and I have VIP
-
He played like mad and bought all the things?
I only ended up with 185500 xp, my gold got doubled from 800 to 1600 though.

He... VGS'd more than you..? What about tokens?
-
This game is amazing. It brings back memories of tribes 2.
I love skiing down a massive slope and then you shotgun anyone you see in the face and then when they turn around you come from behind and finish them off with a melee.
-
I am not sure what's going on but since after the update I am unable to join any games, when I do, I hear a "hammer" sound indicating that I can't... I think.
Edited:
It worked now. What an odd glitch.
-
got 1.8k xp in 1 match. Dont have VIP and didnt get that many kills. No flag caps either
-
Somehow managed to get a midair accolade right on our flag with the Mirv.
-
So is the Backstab-Perk gone for good?
-
It's functionallity is gained when you level up the melee resistance perk, can't remember which one. Basically Slash Shield and Backstab were rolled together.
-
Decided to pick up Infiltrator since the XP refund and all classes are cheaper than weapons. It's really not as bad as everyone always made it out to be. Also the spinfusor for it is really fun to use.
-
Fully upgraded the stock Doombringer class, good fun yo. Except the saber feels... useless...
Edit: Here's something quite interesting to look at, this is my mouse movements from 2 matches. (The large dots aren't clicks they're where my mouse either stood still or did minute movements for a longer period of time and the lines... well they should be obvious)
-
The new TDM variant for crossfire isn't that good, I just doesn't have enough opportunities to go fast. Oh and those damn death pools.
-
Is there ranked matchmaking in this or is the playerbase just really bad at the game? I consistently topscore after about two hours of playing.
-
I don't think the matchmaking is ranked, and yes most people suck at this game but is that surprising?
Playing tribes and not playing CTF? Shazbot. When will you learn?
