Why? I've actually never been spawn killed yet.

Explains why, as I was running along the top area, I suddenly had three enemies spawn infront of me, who proceeded to mow me down like hot butter. And why I kept spawning, rounding a corner, near-instantly dying to some high-level guy with a heavy assault rifle before I could even shoot him.

Also, said guy was being a real cheapass in a match of CTF on Helodeck; somehow, he was so good at killing everyone that he'd buy a SWARM, blow up anyone that came at him, refill its ammo, and repeat this for the rest of the match. There were at least ten, maybe fifteen bodies in one spot because the guy managed to camp his base by just spamming the SWARM rockets.

I just played a few matches, I'm doing very well, and I like it. I really hate the whole Nexon-type buying system, though. It's really terrible.

Oh, and incendiary ammo is pretty freakishly strong.

Edited:

I thought the visor thing would ruin it for me, but it's been implemented very well.

This is one of the best F2P stores I've seen, even better than Tribes: Ascend because you can rent stuff and buy it for the in-game currency. That's fucking awesome imo and how everyone should do it.

Fucking love this game.

Been playing it way more since the Steam update.

nexon type buying?
if you click advanced purchase options or w/e and the dropdown for 1 day, you can buy permanently.

Most things you can't perma-buy, but it is a good system. It would be shit without the amount of creds you get from each game.

Nexon also had perma-buying on almost everything. They have for years.

Edited:

I just don't like the whole 'rent' thing much. It's a tad annoying to keep up with.

What would make it perfect would be an auto-buyback that the game does for you when you run out of time with your thing the next time you're online. Of course, optional.

there is that kind of system, when you log on after an item expires, it asks if you want to renew it and what it will cost you

also, you can perma buy everything in this, save for prebuilts and something else i forget, which aren't good at all really

[ashxu]

the HAR is 200 GP 1 day or 750 zen perma, cannot be bought perma with GP.

The heroes are zen only (some u can only get from a chance pack which is $1 a pop)

the speed demon boots are like 220k GP perma or <1k zen (or free if you play BLR on a SSD)

[ForgottenKane]

There's at least one weapon piece and category of equipment that can't be perma-bought.

This isn't a disadvantage for the game, it's just annoying for consistency's sake.

It didn't work for me last time :<

While the system is better than other f2p games, it's still not very good. You can buy level restricted items with Zen, so if you really are mr. money bags you can fully gear up as a lvl1 and bulldoze everyone in the newbie servers

those are things that are actually pretty dumb i'll admit, the team recently made the har and speed demons available, wherein the only way to obtain them before was to get all 8 easter eggs during the easter event for the har, and to have an ssd for the speed demons

[ForgottenKane]

I hate all F2P game systems. I really do.

I just want to buy the damn game and get it over with, not be micro-charged to shit. One of the worst offenders is LoL and pretty much any Nexon title.

The best one I've seen thus far HAS to be DOTA 2. It's just so... Perfect in regards to how they're handling the F2P thing so far.

I think you people are being overly picky about it.

[ForgottenKane]

When did I say the game is bad? I love it. I'm just pointing out the things that annoy me.

Plus, problems don't get fixed unless people complain

oh shit a roach is OANF MY LEG

[milkandcooki]

my arms stretched out really long

By the way you can get a SeaNanner voicepack for free if you redeem this code on your account.

Also, the Raptr reward helmet and pistol make everything easy. Saves me like 500 GP every day I wanna play.

Except not really, because most items are sidegrades

well, a guy with a kitted out assault rifle is pretty much going to beat the default ar in almost every way, not enough to just instakill the other guy, but he still has a huge advantage

Played the beta for this game, but was fun but laggy (Australian servers were nonexistent then I'm assuming) , hope it's fixed now :o

Verify files works too but okay.

[BeardyDuck]

have they given out the closed beta helmets yet?

[Zeos]

So I unlocked the Seananners voicepack, but it's still locked for me in game.

[Alvaldi]

The confirmation email take long for anyone else?
It's been quite awhile now, I might try with a different email

Playing CTF on some map, I spawned literally 6 times in a row either in front of a person, a hardsuit, or on top of a proximity mine.

I guess it's not worse than CoD, but then again CoD doesn't have mechsuits. Not yet anyway.

This is the one I got with the robot. The sights for both it and the pistol are fucking crazy.

Tried opening the pack from your in-game mail, via the 'social menu' on the right side of the screen?

Yeah, it worked for one character, and the other, the one I originally tried, doesn't recognize it as a valid item.

Are there any other redeemable codes?

[Crimor]

I did one of those offers to get free zen, but for some reason I can't seem to transfer shit because it shows no characters on the blacklight dropdown.

[Epic Fortune]

Love this game, I'm consistently getting team warlord (and holding it) every match.

We should also have a player list in the op.

[Creeper]

Oh god, this sight. Once you start firing you can't see through our own muzzle flashes.





Edit: Just went 10-0. Seananners voice is fucking magic.
