http://www.twitch.tv/tribescast Tribescast casts games pretty frequently between the top teams in US and Europe. It's usually pretty solid, but the spectator controls are average and there's no first person view (which is fail, and HiRez is working on it). I prefer fpvods / streams, such as: http://www.twitch.tv/zoidbergenstein http://www.twitch.tv/51tltan Those two usually stream at the same time, and they're both part of the pro team Area 51. They usually stream almost everything, including in-house strategy talk and practice sessions. When it's at its most fun, however, is when they're scrimming another team. Watch dual screen if you have it. Zoidberg is their flagger and TlTAN is their HoF, so you get a great view of the battlefield. http://www.twitch.tv/theblinks Blinks is a great chaser for Egocentric. Amazing pathfinder. Other good streams include: http://www.twitch.tv/anarchyao ^ The highest ranked player in Tribes, usually pub stomping as infiltrator for fun. He's ridiculously good at it. If nothing else is on, you can always check out http://www.twitch.tv/directory/Tribes Ascend Sucks that the OP is gone. We should have a thread that actually updates with relevant information. | ||

Just PM me what you want changed, or even PM him that might work too. | ||

In a normal game of CTF i will get anywhere between 2-10+ midairs depending on how much pressure the offense put on (I play LD/chase). Consistency of direct hitting people is crucial as chase as it will insta-gib a light capper (I use the boltlauncher). Out of curiosity, what is your rank (mainly due to the rank just being an indication of the time played in this game)? Because if you are under rank 6, you won't be matched against anyone over rank 6. After rank 6 you start to play against a lot better people, I played with a few competitive players in a Pub just now. lol at you saying you get 2-10. i get around 20 kills usually per match and 2-10 isnt close to "consistently hitting in air blue plat specials" when you consider its 2-10 aka good or bad luck and thats STILL half or less then half better players dont slow down to a snails pace and thus make blue plate specials very very unlikely to hit (or air mail) | ||

Arena has already brought to light the bland combat in T:A and I'm sure once ranked CTF matches come in that it will expose some of the flaws in the game mechanics. | ||

It's usually easier, since it's harder for them to change their direction. Sure, it's easier to"MA" a bouncing heavy, but it's usually just faster to chain them down. Also, when I referred to the midairs, I was referring to actual mid-air kills. I will often hit a medium midflight, knocking him off whatever course he was on, then chain him down. You can take out a capper with an MA that is flying at your stand 6 times out of 10. With some practice you can probably bring it up to 7-9/10. It's of course different when you're dueling someone. It's 100x harder to predict the flight path of someone you're dueling than someone that is on a route. Also, now that I reread your post, I think I might've misread your post completely and feel like a complete ass right now. I read that "you struggle to get a single kill, yet still top the scoreboard" instead of "getting every kill as a blue plate".... | ||

I'm watching the NASL vods and they're good, but some FPVs (lame, can't do that through spectator mode) would be sick to watch. I'm an old tribes 1 fanatic, now streaming Tribes: Ascend since a couple of days back. Playing at as high level as it gets, with all the best EU players. You can find my stream here on TL: http://www.teamliquid.net/video/streams/sh4z I will stream mostly mixes / clan matches and maybe some public. Every stream is automatically made into a VoD so there is always something to watch. Here's a fun mix played like a week ago or so (starts 44 min in. 30 min in is some crazy Aracd1zzle captain tactics) http://www.twitch.tv/sh4zbot/b/310087745 | ||

was once ancient tribe master who was said 2 have best disc aim of all time. it was said he never miss shot in MA or on ground and his disc always find target. one day ambitious young tribe player seek him out and find him meditate on top of mountain. young tribe respectfully approach him and say, "master, i just hit 25 MA in game of tribe, how many MA must i hit in game 2 b consider goat of disc?" the master say nothing & continue 2 meditate. the young tribe player ask him again & finally the master say, "u can never hit enough." young tribe player take this advice 2 mean he need improve and return home 2 practice. he spend many hour practice his MA and return 2 tribe master many month later. he find ancient tribe master meditate in same spot on mountain. he say 2 him, "master, i hit 50 MA in game of tribe. how many i need 2 b consider goat of disc?" the tribe master keep meditate quietly and finally say, "u can never hit enough." young tribe player resolve 2 practice more than any man ever. for many year he use only disc & become master of MA. he become like machine of tribe and avg over 100 MA per game. finally he return 2 mountain of ancient tribe master and say, "master, i hit over 100 MA in every game of tribe i play. i believe i am goat of disc & respectfully wish 2 challenge u." the tribe master open his eye from meditation and say, "i accept ur challenge. u will defend flag against me." so young tribe player find himself defend flag and await cap route of ancient tribe master. he very aware and focus on all known fast cap route & have many year of practice MA incoming capper & make this shot w/ 99% accuracy. after many minute ancient tribe master appear over hill in hvy armor. young tribe player immediately MA him but ancient tribe master shoot mortar & young tribe & explode him as he make heavy grab. young tribe respawn & chase tribe master and MA him three more time but this just propel ancient tribe master faster 2 home & he cap flag. young tribe player angry & say, "that cap prove nothing, i hit u with 4 MA." ancient tribe master just smile and say, "this is true, u did hit me with 4 MA. but u can never hit enough." young tribe then realize wisdom of ancient tribe master's word 2 mean that no amount of MA can secure victory of tribe since it is only single tactic 4 single weapon & not useful in all situation. true goat of disc know when 2 disc & when 2 put disc away. the tao of tribe That is all I have to say about midairs. | ||

From today's patch: Fixed an issue where the Infiltrator’s Stealth Spinfusor was not doing extra damage to armored. I've seen several upgrades throughout the game that mention "+damage to armored". What exactly is considered as "armored"? | ||
