Good work guys! Can't wait to try it out! That said, what really bothers me is what isn't here, namely the lack of a patch for not being able to use locked classes and weapons in training mode, especially considering how many threads were started about it. Here's to hoping that it's just an undocumented fix. _________________ Gone To Plaid.vgs Gotta Sing Fast.mp3

I'd say almost every change here sounds great, with maybe one or two things that bother me. Good work guys! Can't wait to try it out!

That said, what really bothers me is what isn't here, namely the lack of a patch for not being able to use locked classes and weapons in training mode, especially considering how many threads were started about it.

Thumper got nerfed less than I thought it would.
Can't say I'm bothered much by this though. :lol:

A little sad to see mine airmails go though, they were great fun to collect as Doombringer or Sentinel.

Everything else looks solid. Looking forward to playing with this stuff!

Re: Feb 9, 2012: Tribes Closed Beta Version 0.1.759.0

Fractals nerfed.

WHY

They only ever killed people who had played the game for less than an hour anyway.
Countering the 4 TCN, 4 DMB , 4 SEN turtle teams on crossfire is a pain without fractals destroying base assets. I guess i'm back to spamming Beowulf shots at the flagstand...
I can understand it not hurting base turrets and generators but even pistols can hurt forcefields and TCN turrets, so why shouldn't fractals?

Rest of the patch is cool tho.

EDIT: also Brutes pretty much useless now since fractals were the only thing going for them. Might as well refund Brute xp as nobody will be playing them.

EDIT2: also this is an indirect buff to the class everyone hates right now and is played too much, making the games into a campfest. Yeah i'm talking about TCN.
