Is their actually anything worth purchasing for real money in game? I'm thinking it might have made it easier to buy some gold to unlock the classes I haven't got yet...
 
Boosters are bought with Tribes Gold. Boost doubles the XP you earn while playing, allowing you to unlock classes, weapons and upgrades in half the time.

Currently you can purchase:

Booster Cost
1 Day 240 Gold
3 Day 400 Gold
10 Day 640 Gold
30 Day 1200 Gold
90 Day 2400 Gold

Boost can also be used alongside your VIP bonus. Boost is applied after the VIP 50% bonus, effectively tripling the default XP earning rate.
In a match where you would regularly earn 800 XP as a regular player, the same match with both VIP status and Boost active would have awarded you 2400 XP (800 XP x 1.5 VIP Bonus x 2 Boost).

Patch notes are out:

https://hi-rez.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/343

Tribes: Ascend Version 1.0942.1 is scheduled to be released on Friday, April 27. The servers will be down for several hours while the update is applied.

Weapon/Balance Items:
Increased damage on Brute’s Heavy Spinfusor by roughly 7%.
Modified the Pathfinder's Light Assault Rifle so that it has an increased projectile speed and fall-off begins at a greater distance (buffed). Projectile speed now matches that of the Soldier’s Assault Rifle.
Modified the collision size of Raider’s Plasma Gun projectile. The weapon’s damage and rate of fire remain the same.

Bug Fixes:
Fixed an issue that impacted the ability of the Shrike to fly vertically.
Fixed an issue in which the First Win of the Day bonus was not being awarded in some scenarios.
Fixed an issue that would prevent a player from deploying deployables.
Recently earned badges are now shown correctly on the profile page.
Several bug fixes and cleanups on the menu UI.
 
Yes vip is permanent.

Patch notes sound good glad they buffed the brutes fuser and and sorted the plasma gun issue.
 
Hmm I'm not sure if it's worth purchasing the 1800 gold pack, I guess I could then pay 1200 gold to get the XP Booster and then spend whatever I have left on unlocking the other classes.

Whatever you buy you will get VIP status giving you 50% increased xp gain. I personally went for the cheapest pack for the vip at first to unlock a few weapons. I also did the same later on to unlock the inf bundle. Its up to you ultimately do you think you can get your moneys worth from one of the boosters? if so go for it!
 
Well I saved 75k for my Infiltrator now the question is, Jackal or Stealthspinfuser ... or mines instead of sticky?
 
Not mines. They are no where near as useful as the sticky.

The Jackal and Stealth Spinfuser however is a tough choice they are both fantastic weapons i am currently using the jackal on my inf, I do feel the jackal is slightly op atm although not as much as it used to be could do with around 50 damage been taken off each projectile or a rof nerf.

The fuser has the range, aoe while the jackal is more a close range damage dealer great for being indoors and blowing stuff up. I would probably go for the jackal currently but don't be surprised if it gets a slight nerf but its really down to personal play style. I like being up close and stabbing people :)
 
This game worth playing with it being F2P?

I played Tribes 2 from release day to when the servers were shut down by sierra/vivendi.

I harbour nothing but disdain for F2P games, but I thoroughly loved Tribes 2, so... :(

It's a fun game, and since it's free to play just download it and see what you think of it yourself, it's not like you have to pay anything :)
 
Which classes do you guys play the most? As a noob I found soldier to be the easiest to get on with. Not sure if I should pile all my XP on upgrades for just the one class though, or maybe I could do one class at a time... Hmm

Personally I enjoy raider the most, followed by doombringer.

Before unlocking any classes it is worth playing a game against bots as you can select any class and any weapon so that you can give them a try, see how they feel and if you like it (obviously playing vs bots is nothing compared to how the weapons/classes work in a real fight, but it gives you a little idea).
