Also, the esports thing is a joke. EvE also has yearly closed environment tournaments which are largely down to rock-paper-scissors chosing of comp. They recently tried to make it a more 'esports' (I hate that phrase, there is nothing wrong with competitive gaming. Chess is a game. Bloody highschool jock envy shit) and it was ridiculous and hardly high level competition at all. I don't get the current obsession with making everything an 'esport', I blame that silly artsandcrafts thing in korea. Edit: Oh, and I was on waterson for the 2nd round of the UES thing (the one on the ascent). I actually didn't realise it was the event until there was a broadcast, I was just happy to fight on central amerish for once. Node got so lagged out that you couldn't restock from ammo packs and there was a 10m render distance on infantry. At worst it felt almost like hacking, I'd run in to a room with 50 TR in it, put 10 bullets in to the head of each of the 10 TR that actually loaded then run out again. 30 seconds later the server would register the kills and suddenly certs -_- | ||

It's moments like this that feel so special. As I am writing this, a zerg has formed up and we are taking Saurva and Dahaka. Feels good, man.  | ||

They really shine when you have a high point to jump from, but are otherwise mediocre. which is the best for cliff scaling then? thats prolly the biggest advantage of being a LA. that and going up a level in bases without using stairs | ||

I read that some places allow you to press against the wall and scale them that way, but that obviously doesn't work everywhere and is very situational. However, hover jump jets keep your horizontal momentum, so they allow some very fast movement in some situations. I read that they are a little like tribes skiing. | ||
