edit 2: Looks like they just put out the patch ... can't wait to try no cap skiing. The true way that Tribes should be played.

Awesome a new map for CTF. And the new additions/subtractions sound really good. Thank you Hi-Rez!
I'm StickSoldier in the game. I'd like to hit up some games with Gaffers.

Tomorrow. That's when the patch is coming out according to the Hirez client.
Is anyone else experiencing horrible fucking lag while using wireless? I've had pings exceed 200 constantly regardless of the two connections I can connect to. I'm really hoping my wireless card isn't messing up but the problems only seem to be on Tribes and not other games.

Been playing the game alot the last few days, and I absolutely love it. Tribes II was one of my first multiplayer games back in the day, but I was just a clueless kid back then, so I just enjoyed it for a few weeks and moved on without ever really playing it.
I've decided to focus on one class at the time, so I started with the Pathfinder, which I have maxed out. Excellent capper. But most of all it is the best chaser class with its concussion grenades. Love sweeping in out of nowhere, dropping a nade in a stalemate game and returning our flag. The direction of the flag is kinda random at times, but I can hardly complain. Overall the class feels well balanced, with low health, acceleration and control. But great speed, concussion grenades and the light spinfusor on the other hand. But can someone please explain what the recahrge pack does? Nothing ever happens when I press C as far as I can tell. I've tried it when out of energy too.
My second choice was the Sentinel, as I always enjoy sniping in fps. Bamelin said earlier that he thought sniping was too weak, but I could hardly disagree more. The gun is accurate, has a high fire rate, and does decent damage depending on how long you take to shoot. Too be honest, I think it is slightly overpowered in the hands of a good player. An interesting thing to note, is that even if you get the zoom bug, the gun still powers up just as if you zoom. This means that the gun is worse for sniping, but even better for mid-short range. In the patch notes they mention that the bug occurs if you die while zoomed, but I have had it happened to me all the time for other reasons too. When I switch weapon while zoomed, if I try to zoom while in the item station, if I try to knife someone when zoomed. This makes it easy to abuse if you prefer getting closer in on the action with an overpowered rifle. So overall I think the Sentinel might be slightly overpowered for defense and chasing. Claymores are insanely annoying for cappers, though they are avoidable for good players. Once again I am kind of unsure about the pack, am I right in assuming it blocks artillery strikes in close proximity to it?
I just need the vehicle discount perk and I will have maxed out the Sentinel as well. Next I'll probably go for the Technician, Infiltrator or one of the heavies. Does anyone know which class gets the +hp perk?
As for vehicles, I haven't bothered trying one out since I bought a Shrike and proceeded to crash it into the side of a hill. But they seem pretty amazing in the hands of a great player, so I still disagree with the guy that posted that vehicles receive no love in T:A.
Fuck that, give me more CTF maps. Other than that, looking forward to the patch. I suspect I will be playing this game for a long time, so I hope Hi-Rez continue to support it for a long time. And by that, I do not mean just add more stuff you have to pay for.
Thought I'd make a list of the names of people playing, so people won't have to scan every post in the thread (like I just did...).

"I go by CynageN in game."
I've seen you around a few games. Bamelin too.

Never played tribes but I got 6 kills before my first death. AW YEAH.
One guy kept perfectly swooping in to nab our flag missing the ground / platform barely and going around the whole level. I nabbed the flag a few times before getting killed by 5 guys, but at least they were at their base and not ours. Won 4-3, almost got to level 2.
