However nothing was mentioned in the 0.1.809 patch notes.. (I saw no changes written for generator health, or sticky damage to assets) Can you clarify whether this is intentional or not? Also get rid of the 3sec cooldown on stealth (INF), we don't need more nerf.. If technicians leave their generator/turrets unnatended, it's not our fault for not giving them free turret/bot-kills.* The technicians are the community's primary complaint, yet you're inventing ways to make things easier for them, and harder for the already nerfed infiltrators.. "You're doing it wrong." *If a technician is doing his role, this means defence, even if an infiltrator flickers his stealth - the technician can be aware and still pick him up with a single thumper shot. Not to mention: motion sensors = bye bye stealth altogether. (And a very quick, plus unavoidable, death; when combined with at least 2 close-by turrets) Last edited by Quadbyte on Tue Mar 06, 2012 9:31 am, edited 2 times in total.

A quick question:

However nothing was mentioned in the 0.1.809 patch notes.. (I saw no changes written for generator health, or sticky damage to assets)
Can you clarify whether this is intentional or not?

The technicians are the community's primary complaint, yet you're inventing ways to make things easier for them, and harder for the already nerfed infiltrators.. "You're doing it wrong."

*If a technician is doing his role, this means defence, even if an infiltrator flickers his stealth - the technician can be aware and still pick him up with a single thumper shot.
Not to mention: motion sensors = bye bye stealth altogether. (And a very quick, plus unavoidable, death; when combined with at least 2 close-by turrets)

The presentation is a little poor today, but boosters do affect the badge XP.

For level 1 badges, you get 500 XP as a free user, 750 if VIP and 1500 if VIP/Boosted.

Level 2 badges are 1000/1500/3000.

Re: Mar 6, 2012: Tribes Open Beta Version 0.1.811.0

in terms of CTF: imo there need to be class limits, like no more than 3 tcn/2 inf,sentinel per side. or some hard limit on the number of deployables within a certain range. tcn and inf are both really obnoxious.

in terms of non-CTF gametypes: tcn is amazingly overpowered... smg + shotty/hitscan pistol + 'nades + turret(s) + medium armor is incredibly strong with no drawbacks i can think of.

i have no idea how you could balance the tcn for all gametypes short of giving it a disc launcher instead of smg, maybe.
