If you don't feel like waiting an hour in a mission queue before you get to play, I'd suggest switching classes. I took a Robo up to level 16, entirely solo, and it was pretty entertaining, being a one man army and all that.NoCure said:
It's got all that. It's a really excellent class-based team shooter where everybody has jetpacks, with MMO style progression and persistence. PvE consists of a traditional-style MMO questing zone, several 4 player co-op instanced dungeon-style levels of increasing difficulty, and larger, usually defensive, raids. PvP is the main component of the game, multiple game modes, and a large Alliance vs. Alliance mode where Alliances of Agencies (Global Agenda-speak for guilds) fight over land and resources on a fairly big hex map, where they can build facilities and manufacture new weapons and things like that with which to fight the other Alliances. It's got the standard chat, along with built-in VoIP. There are plenty of new weapons to unlock with leveling, along with armor, class-specific gadgets ranging from grenades to cloaking devices to killer robots, and a bunch of cosmetic options. You earn credits from almost everything you do, and on top of that, doing PvP or any of the PvE instances and raids give you tokens which you use to buy the game's better gear. There are 4 classes which can all be played in two different ways, depending on how you skill them up. There's the Assault which is either there to soak up damage or to dish it out, there's the Recon which is either a sniper or a stealthsuit-wearing ninja, the Medic which is either a traditional medic or a poison-based DOT damage dealer, and there's the Robotic, who can either set up defenses with forcefields and turrets or have his own personal robot army. And the best thing is you can switch your role on the fly, since you can respec at any time, for free, as often as you want. All the MMO features lack the MMO bullshit, more or less.Protomega said:
The only things you can buy in the cash shop are "boosters" which just speed XP gain for a limited time period, but the problem with that is it's entirely a player skill-based game, so while your character improves much faster, your skills don't develop like the people who spent the regular amount of time with it, so it actually puts you at a disadvantage.Protomega said:
I can give you a 50% off coupon code that'll make it cost 15 bucks, if you'd like.Korten12 said:

All I'll get is a virtual paper bag with a face scrawled on it. My main incentive is getting more people into the game playing it.Zapperdude said:Sneaky bastard! Trying to get the recommend friend bonus hehTalal Provides said:
Then again it does help everybody. You get a bonus, your friend gets it cheaper and the developers get a new customer. Its a win-win-win situation
It's for buying it from their website. It does go on sale on Steam very, very often, you just missed one that had it for $7.50 that ended last night. Get the trial version, give it a shot, there's still quite a bit to experience that way.Korten12 said:
I played the trial awhile ago before it went, just Buy to play instead of P2P and I really enjoyed it.Talal Provides said:All I'll get is a virtual paper bag with a face scrawled on it.
