Ok, downloaded. Username is still lowyhong. Let me know when you guys are up for a game. Gonna run a few trials on the US West server to test my latency.

Just got off a match. Crossfire, US West. Ping was at around 230ms. Blood Eagles won 3-2. Guess who capped all 3 flags XD. Game was surprisingly smooth. I might as well have been playing on the Singapore server. There was some client-side lag, but it was barely noticeable.

I'm ready whenever you guys are.
Oh yeah I took the liberty of adding the clan tag GOG to my account already.

Ah I realized the vehicle capping I talked about in this post is actually a separate video. I kept thinking they were in the same video, until I watched it again.

It's Saturday. Anyone playing today/night?

I'm starting to like Soldier more and more. Never realized how much propulsion I can get from Thumper jumping. Gonna unlock Raider once I get a bit more XP, though right now it's a bit problematic because all Singapore servers are currently ghost towns. N.America West servers are mostly smooth, but I'd still rather play on a server close by.

I'm online pretty much every evening at some point between 8 PM and midnight GMT. Just add my nickname and send me a /tell . Yeah, there's instant messaging in Tribes. ;) Oh, and "player lowyhong could not be found".

Also, I tried playing Juggernaut yesterday and it's my fav class now. Thanks to the low damage and big spread of the Spinfusor MK-D, along with the health regen pack, I move faster than I did with the Brute. :O Geography permitting it's 170+ SANIC on the ground and 200+ bursts in the air. :)

The Mortar allows for delicious harrassment, reliable disc jumps allow for great speed, and throwable Spinfusor discs grant huge dueling potential, and major lulz. :D

Firek: "player lowyhong could not be found".
I'll try to add you. It's still "Firek" right? My ingame nickname is LYHH (or rather [GOG] LYHH right now), but login name is lowyhong.

I haven't been playing for the last 1-2 weeks, but let me know if you all are infiltrating a server en masse.

I'd been playing as Technician btw. It's a really fun class. There's a great sense of accomplishment in bringing downed defences up, and you don't even need to do anything to get kills if you place your turret right. Gets frustrating though when there are Infiltrators in the gen room and nobody's helping to defend.

The Gen is a tricky place. I don't go down there myself when I play as Heavy on Flag, and I generally see the Gen as far less important than the flag stand. A pair of well-drilled and well-specced Heavies can camp an enemy gen against multiple opponents, effectively drawing them away from doing something more relevant to winning the game, like offense or flag defense.
Generally, I'm all for an indoor brawl, but a Gen is not something that should be defended at any cost.
