EPTThanks a lot for the opportunity to get a beta key. I really loved Starseige: Tribes. I hope this game if well balanced gets into the competitive game scene. Thx again.

I usually try to stay active skiing around but staying relatively close to our flag. But I've seen people pretty much sit on flag stand and I've seen others ski all over the map with the flag. On crossfire (i think that's the map), I usually run into the inv station room and drop it off to a heavy but most maps don't seem to accommodate that quite as well. Just wanna know if I'm doing it the right way or whatever. There are basically 3 thoughts on this, all with different pro's and con's. In my eyes, they are all valuable and completely situational. 1. Running with flag - you can run as long as you ski well, but you are still vulnerable to snipers, people who get close enough to damage you, and spam. This usually works better if you have 1 or 2 teammates who are following you, cleaning up enemies behind you and grabbing your flag if you drop it. You can also pass the flag easily to a teammate in this situation. In pub servers I never see anyone to come out and help the flag carrier. 2. Defend flag in base - makes it very easy to defend flag if you have a team that is defending the insides. You can pass the flag to a heavy class for durability or switch out to a heavier class as well (Jugg or Raider seem reasonable). 3. Defend flag outside base - This is good for capping quickly after a return, but is obviously hard to defend yourself. Good in that your team respawns close to you, but in pubs I'm not sure how much they will help the flag carrier. Basically all dependent on your team for protection. Most of these are not too good in public servers because your team hardly does anything to help the flag carrier, but if you notice your team is doing a specific play style (aka a lot outside base defense or a lot of inside base defense) you can choose which option will work best in that scenario. To drivec - I'm not really sure why you are playing 20's at your level, but I know that high levels can play with lower level players simply by following someone on their friends list. Likewise you can most likely play with high levels doing the same. | ||

 then patch out! really interested to see how the projectile autos and esp inheritance plays out. more awards also. tho i think ill stay away from ranger for now, not so accurate rifle with projectiles and crappy varying 90-140 ping together sounds like a lot of guessgame spam to me. also i would need help with paypal i guess. wanted to buy the 10day booster, went though the whole buy thingy but at the end when i log in to my paypal acc it asks for a credit card and doesnt let me just pay with what i have in my account. is that normal? i have zero clue of paypal and just used it for minor stuff and converting tf2 items in cash. i dont have and dont want a cc, so i cant buy anything now? | ||

No. I played the VIP pass via paypal a few days ago. Worked okay. If you really can't make it work, write an email to paypal support, maybe they can help. | ||

"Why is it forcing me to enter a credit card on my account when I try to pay with PayPal? Unfortunately, the way we are set up with PayPal requires the credit card as a backup funding source to complete the payment. Example: If a buyer only has their bank account on file with PayPal, the system will not allow for the immediate transaction/authorization to complete. (bank account only would take 2-5 business days) The credit card is required for an immediate transaction/authorization response. We are working with our billing provider to see if there is a way to modify this requirement." Oh yes patching time. The only thing not entirely positive in this patch seems to be the new PTH perk and flag D getting end of the shaft. I really hope this doesn't mean people can grab the flag with their feet and fly away. Other than that HiRes really seems to deliver, at this rate we actually have a finished product on the launch where from they can continue to improve their system and everything else. Also what is the inheritance set then, there doesn't seem to be any official post confirming the number. | ||

When people are sub 100-200hp and the enemy team is chasing you, PASS IT OFF. The voice message "Take the flag from me!" is there for a reason.Gets annoying as hell following some kid around as he's getting swarmed, he dies and it gets returned when he had so many opportunities to pass it off. It's so bad, when I try to pass it off to teammates in a pinch, they don't expect it since NO ONE else does it and they blame me for "griefing" when I "purposely give the enemy team their flag back" and shit like that. So yeah, here's my PSA of the day. Pass the damn flag off! ♥ Haha, agree, but in pubs I try to let people have their caps. Like, they pass me the flag, kill themselves or regen and I will give it back. I think more than that people need to follow their friendly flag carrier. A lot of the time when I have the flag near my own base not a single teammate will come to my aid. | ||

It makes chasing with grace weapons a lot easier. I still haven't tried the new disc yet (busy leveling my ranger for perks), but the thumper works much better now. really? the bullets are sooooo slow... in addition to still huge rnd spread. tbh this might be one of the the worst feeling guns i ever used in a multiplayer fps. spray & pray at its ugliest imho >.< also im confused by the inheritance change they did. why implement a system where physics are so much different depending on the shooting angle? | ||
