  • I haven't read the rest of the thread, but I just want to take a break right here and correct your analogy, because I already thought of a much better one a while ago. It's more like we are telling our 15 year old son not to learn basketball from one of the other kids his age playing basketball, and should instead learn it…
  • What a waste.
  • Music blows away all rappers too.

  • No one said it's a bad idea to teach newbs. The point is it's a completely wasted effort if the teachers can't actually teach much of anything. There are people in #lastgasp (irc.tribalwar.com) who, by themselves, could teach a new player more than everyone in your group combined - and probably in less time. If you really…
  • Putting more random meaningless MAs into a video than another player doesn't make you better than that player. Plus, his videos were amazing mostly because of the video editing, which yours lacks completely aside from slow motion (which is an absolutely horrible idea). And he picks better music. Also, exactly what ladder…

  • Umm we aren't even bashing newbs, we are just correcting them. I don't understand why everyone here thinks that correcting a newb means you are bashing him.
  • You don't need to know math, but if you have trouble learning math you are going to have trouble learning programming. The first language I learned was PHP, which isn't used for anything other than webpages, but once you know one language is fairly easy to learn any other. There's no reason to buy a book or spend any…

  • Yeah exactly, that's why I say Base is Tribes without skiing. Tribes was originally not supposed to have skiing, but Dynamix made the smart call with T1 and left it in instead of patching it out. Then with T2 they decided to try again at making their original game idea of Tribes as a super-slow, vehicle-based game without…
  • Base is slow; Classic is fast. If you don't have a lot of experience playing the game, then that's probably the biggest (and maybe only) difference you will notice for a while. There are huge differences in how the game is played between the two, but that only matters if you're trying to get really good or playing with an…
  • You severely over-estimate the number of people there are who actually haven't played before. Most of the people you see who are really bad aren't even new and would probably take offense if you offered to train them. And furthermore, if you are going to start a training program, why would you want to half-ass it and only…
  • Then most players shouldn't be posting in this thread. Or this forum category, for that matter.
  • Also to add something positive, I would be happy to (and have in the past) be a part of something like this, so long as the entire group measures up to a decent set of standards. My first post expressed my concern in that regard.
  • Most of the people still playing who need to be helped are probably people you would consider having as teachers. Not trying to be insulting here, just trying to bring up a really important point.
  • Yes that's why all the new players left. ::)

  • No one said that pubs suck. We said that pubs are not a good basis for conversations about strategy. No pubs are. We are talking about matches.
  • IF UR TIRED U SHOULD TAKE A NAP LOL (then fire z missilez)

  • A Base tournament might be healthy. That way, when the Classic teams take every single top spot, it'll serve to put the new wave of Base players back in their place like VSTO and VK did in years before. :D Unless of course you do some sort of draft, but in that case I'd think most classic players wouldn't bother.
  • I thought this thread was always pretty hot.
  • I just want to point out a few blatant falsehoods and provide evidence for proof. Classic players are better than Base players at Base. Explain how this is possible if Base is the mod that takes more skill and strategy. Proof: see Viking Kitties. A team of all Classic players who joined the Base ladder and crushed it…

  • I like how for the first few months of this forum, Abstract constantly bitched at me for being condescending, and now he's trying to act tough as well. At least I was justified.
  • Oh yeah since there's such a big difference between what goes on in pubs and what goes on in matches at the very bottom of the ladder (there isn't).
  • Orly is like a god to all the newbs, lol. The especially funny thing is that account was used by like 4 different people on the Rebels server alone, and who knows how many others on different servers. Since as far as I know it originally belonged to AnarchyAo, and he lent out accounts to so many different people that you…
  • rofl funny thread You guys should be aware that Trollyth thinks running around in a pub constitutes quality Tribes 2 strategic experience. That's where he's coming from.
  • And not Abstract either.
  • See, this is an example of the kind of person to whom I am rude. He obviously doesn't believe that he himself is a newb, but the content of what he is saying proves that he is still a newb regardless of how long he has been playing. His time might playing might qualify him to teach you the very basics of Tribes 2, which…
  • The ironic thing is Evlesoa is the kind of guy who I would gladly help as much as he needed. The guys to whom I am rude and whine back at me for "chasing away new players" are actually the kinds of people who would tell a newb to alt-f4 in response to a simple question. And yes I've seen it first hand. :D Anyway Evlesoa,…
  • dan-o2 has T2 seniority over both of you, fyi. By a huge margin.
  • Honestly I don't even view blindkilla as a person. It's more like one of those forum bots that takes any paragraph you say and tries to turn it around, then adds in a couple insults from a text file someone downloaded from PlaygroundPosse.com. It's just mind-boggling how a person can be that stupid and still figure out how…
    in BASE... Comment by Kryand May 2009
  • The bottom line is HV is and always was a server for newbies. The only good players who ever played there only did it to beat up on newbs who couldn't fight back - pretty much what I am doing with blindkilla in this thread. I assure you that most people I get in wars with on forums are at least somewhat competent human…

  • You failed at reading comprehension, and I am the one who got owned? Interesting. And this topic doesn't need to be continued. The pros have already spoken. Everything else is just random unnecessary commentary.
