*** The Official Tribes: Ascend Thread! ***

Buffet have you considered making the step to playing pugs. It sounds as if your ready to make the jump into the comp side of things. Atleast pugging you will get a taste for it and see if you wanna try maybe get picked up by a team.


Kiwi hows it going?
 
Good to hear your back playing alittle kiwi. Maybe you can jump on one evening for a few games or something. Comp has slowed down alittle but EUTL season 3 is starting soon so should see some big teams play again. ~flam have started scrimming a few teams including vertigo and idk? to test the new rule set for the next season.


uncle_rufus whats your game id? If you wanna add me T1LuiGi im pretty active if you wanna few games.
 
I recently decided to start a new account just to mess about with smurfing but while ranking up in the newbie servers i noticed 2 bad points.

1, After idk 2 years of playing T:A i saw my first hacker. These hackers are making accounts that get banned before they reach level 8 so I would never normally see them in the normal level 8+ servers. The problem with this is all the possible new players are screaming hacker at any player thats a lot better than them. This i feel is putting off new guys filtering through into the higher ranked servers.

2, There seemed to be quite a few level 9-25 players still hanging around in the 1-8 servers which are basically there to just let new players get to grips with the basics of moment and reasons you may choose a class for a certain role. I asked these guys wtf are they still playing in the newbie servers and they replied that they just weren't good enough to play in the higher ranked servers so would rather just stomp any new blood that may or may not stick around long enough to realise the potential of T:A. Im guessing these may be some of the COD style players who are not willing to put in the small amount of effort to at least advance to being able to contribute to a level 8+ pub game.

Both the reasons above I feel are stopping quite a few new players sticking with the game. As much as some comp players try to help pub players make the step to a more competitive player I think their efforts are alittle wasted as a larger influx of players will mean more talent that in turn would naturally grow the comp scene.

PS: uncle added u.
 
The reason i and I would say others decided to make a smurf account is not to stomp in new blood servers (having to play in them is just to reach level 8) but to say be a level 9 or 10 and dominate some of the higher rank servers which rattles some cages. Having a bit of banter I find makes the game more intense when you stomp some idiots.

Buffet which team has approached you? Im thinking of joining a house team to play in the EUTL just for fun. Some new team is looking for players on reddit. They seem average but might be a option. Also if your considering it maybe try start working on a position you could play comp. Im guessing roaming D or Disruption would be your choice?
 
Well this team is asking for players.

Not too sure yet I dropped the guy a message to see what he says. Dunno if I would try go for the main capper role as not really played comp in other roles. Im guessing the skill level might be quite a bit lower than the pro teams though which is good.

Not looking for anything too serious just have some fun. Also might miss a few games next month due to work. I dropped melur a message to see what his views were on this before making any decision.
 
Hopefully this may bring a few ocuk players back. Wonder if kiwi is still around to play. The min guy running with this support from hi res was interviewed last night and answered lots of questions.

They seem to be approaching things better this time and rely on the community feedback for all changes.

I found capping on old maps nearly the same but you have to take into account no safe fall. The new maps have lots of crappy slow half health grabs which of course is down to very few routes been figured out yet but they will come in time.

Having 3 weapons is abit strange as so used to only 2 and so far im lots worse at chasing after the update but hopefully i just need time to adjust. Hope to see you on soon kiwi.
