Nice looking mouse mate. It coming tomorrow?
Anyone have the line up of both teams?

Its a great game but takes time to really get decent at it. As for servers just click play then ctf which will pit you in a ranked public game with other new players. There won't be any teamwork or anyone relying on you so you can just practice doing what you want.
As for game name I think u still need an account with highres even though using steam but maybe wrong as I use the stand alone version. Once you pick your name the only way to change it is to spend gold.

Jim or sneaky you available for scrim tonight? How's the idk match encoding going kiwi?
Yea gg tonight. Was playing bad but still won pretty easy. I really need to spend some time on my routes.
Its a lot harder than it looks. As you say top players make it look effortless but understand they have run each route 1000+ times probably. Also im not sure what loadout your using but it makes a difference.
If your looking to learn to cap we can meet up in a server and follow me round some easier routes. Which once you get them down you can build on them by either fine tuning for greater speed or running more advanced variants which are harder to spot by the enemy or again are faster. Dont be put off by speed to start as that comes with experience. Anything over 200kph is pretty good for a new player.

Just watched arx. Sneaky you seemed to do really well at stopping there cappers getting very far and melur capped the whole map?
Lol what a nub. How's the mic situation going?
No worries kiwi. How'd your fps handle recording?
I'm looking forward to that tourney. Few things I thought abit weird is how do they expect to chase without lar? Its hard enough with it.
Also have you guys seen the list of maps?
I think grabbing is going to be difficult but once out it should be quite easy to get home. I think we could do very well in it tbh.
In t1 the mod we played was like this 5v5 so we ran 2 cappers, 2 chasers and one camper sat on the enemy base ready to grab in case of a return. No disruption was ever needed as two cappers would normally get out with the flag.
Any news on any scrims tonight? I think it would be worth running a practice once a week on a private server.

Can't watch at work. What's the video about?
So they do what to keep the comp scene happy?
And yea I saw matin doing that and we can try it but I need to spend some time getting exact times down for every route.

Phase is better yes but you really need the energy recharge pack also. You do need to learn where cappers approach from.
The best person to ask is sneakybear (game name) as he plays sniper on our team and is a crack shot. His ocuk forum name is different. Can be found in the opening post.

Not getting the half price starter is no reason not to play.
Maybe its worth swapping emails or mobile numbers. No idea on matches mate. I'm sucking at the moment anyway.

Anyone got the notes?
I managed to play a bit tonight. Spent 3 hours from scratch and quite enjoyed myself. Once i got the hang of skiing it made life easier. I even got a medal for a 213KM/H flag grabI capped a few times too. Im not sure how many xp points i should be earning but i only have just over 11,000. I have also been struggling to hit with weapons as the whole jetpack thing adds another dimension to play plus im not used to the weapons.
I have only just scratched the surface but so far i quite like it. The last map i played was a little tedious though as the enemy flag carrier was camped in his base being defended havily and there was only 1 door in. Out of a team of around 10 players there was only me and one other player attemting to retrieve the flag. Grrr.
There is an awful lot to this game and i have a lot to learn but so far it has a thumbs up. iIdid a few freestyle route flag grab an exits tonight as well, some of which i capped. It felt good!
Going to try and get some games in tomorrow too.
Oh and my tribes player name is BuffetSlayer
Cheers
Buff
Thats a decent grab for 3 hours of playing mate. If you have a mic we hang out on mumble while playing. As you say tribes is a never ending learning curve. Each class has so many aspects that can always be improved on. What level did you get to last night? If your planning on playing regularly then getting a booster is worth it.
lol have you guys tried TDM? I just had a quick go. Grabbed the flag at the start and held it until the end of the round with x37 flag held medals lol. Quite fun skiing round and round the arena with a whole team chasing you and failingOverall the modes pretty nooby though.
Mic check?
Samsung, can you change my OCUK -> player ref to 1kiwi - Kiw1Fruit within the OP
Here is a flamboyant picture to 'cement' this new name
Will update yours and slayers after work. Glad you saw sense and changed it. Just need to persuade melur to go melon now.
For starting out the starter pack is a good way to go. You get enough gold to unlock a few different classes and weapons as well as a booster and VIP status I think. I pretty much have a booster going all the time and with VIP I have no trouble unlocking a few weapons a week. Shame you guys missed the double xp days as for the first map won each day you would earn 12k xp if you had VIP and booster.
Before you go unlocking stuff maybe let us know what roles or class you are looking at and we can explain which weapons and perks are best so you don't waste it on needless things.

Most of us here have unlocked things with gold. Some call it pay to win but 99% of the time I use pathfinder anyway and can win in a pub without any fancy weapons either. The guys shouting pay to win are nubs who are getting owned by higher skilled players.
Your probably in llama island servers still so maybe tonight if you get on mumble we can help you find the role for you. IMO your better off been really good at a single role than average in lots.
Classes have there set weapons available. The only things that can be used by any class is perks. Once unlocked in one class there available in all. Though a lot of perks are only worth using for a certain role.
ve offered a lot of you new ocuk players help in mumble but non have seemed to have joined yet. I dunno if this is because it seems weird or you don't think you need the help. Kiwi can speak from experience though that you will progress a lot quicker with more experienced players guiding you. He plays at a lot higher skill level than 95% of the players at his rank.

Yea get on mumble tonight and jump in a pug with us.
Slayer the only weapons like the original rail gun is the sniper rifle or the phase rifle also for the sentinel is like the original laser rifle.

Your sentinel load out I would use is:
Phase rifle
Falcon
Energy recharge pack
Either of the claymoors
Ultra capacitor
rage
Just upgrade items by using them. Stick claymoors in your base/flag stand and wait for cappers. One of the important job of the sniper is to spot enemy cappers as there inbound for your flag. You will learn with experience the routes commonly used and keep an eye on them as your team relies on you a lot for an early warning. Sniping on pubs is normally pretty easy but in comp games you are targeted by the enemy offence and the cappers run harder to spot faster routes.

Or get one from ocuk and they deliver for free. They have a decent clip on mic last time I looked. As kiwi said loads of high street shops will sell cheap mics.
