Tribes: Ascend Teams recruiting on hold!

Sunday, 06.05.2012 23:49 - By Eiter - 1 Comment


Hello Everyone,

Cause of the 20000 Billions of Applications we need to choke everything a bit.

That for the recruitment in our T:A Teams is closed again!

GameShrine.org EU Cup Over (updated)

Friday, 04.05.2012 11:33 - By tumi - 2 Comments


Wednesday evening we faced Over9000 (>9k) in a best of three in the single-elimination bracket of the GameShrine.org tourney.

In the beginning of the match we were fast asleep and only woke up in the middle of Katabatic, the second map, turning the game around conveniently. So every team had won their respective map. The final map, Drydock, turned out to be a nailbiter where the final decision was made when over900 returned their flag seconds before being captured and in the same play made a Shrike grab - which left us all out of position.

Results
>9k 5 - 1 nM (ArxNovena)
>9k 3 - 5 nM (Katabatic)
>9k 5 - 4 nM (Drydock)

It was good to play an evenly matched opponent; congratulations to >9k and good luck against team hindsight in the quarter finals!

Dropping out of two tournaments lately, there is still a silver lining:
We will soon announce two new squads (still searching for some positions, see Eiter's post below) and also host a tourney to remember.
Stay tuned!

\edit:
The tourney's final commenced yesterday: There, IDK beat hindsight with a swooping 3-0 victory.
Congratulations IDK!
VoDs (of questionable quality) can be found here: 1, 2, 3, 4
With the end of the first cup, the European GameShrine Ladder will launch within the next week. We are looking forward to it and hope for a reasonable ruleset!

Our Tribes: Ascend Teams are recruiting again!

Thursday, 03.05.2012 19:40 - By Eiter - 1 Comment


Yes its true ... ! Our Tribes-Teams are opened for recruiting again. The attentive reader might have already seen one of the posts i'am spamming through the boards these days.

Here a little quotation:

Quoted

The nimbleMinds are recruiting again!

Who we are:
Team nimbleMinds was founded in fall 2004 as an European UT2k4 Team. Besides playing all possible ut2k4-variations we also started in ut99, C&C, WC3, Brinks and several other games. Since the early beta of T:A we have shown our best side in ctf 8-8.
As nimbleMinds started as a pure fun-clan it evolved to an increasingly winning-orientated team. That’s why we try to play as many matches as possible in as many cups and leagues as possible. We are actively competing against some top-level opponents and have proven our skills in the Euro-Cup on Gameshrine.org .

But aside from our competitive side, we also stay true to our fun-clan roots. We try to meet as often as possible in real-life (Holiday in Barcelona anyone? ) and don’t hesitate to start some insane actions on T:A-pubs or in other games (Extra information: We also welcome fun-players that don’t play in any competitive match and just join us for the pubbing).

Our Tribes-Squads:
Right now we do have a 8v8 and a 7v7 CTF Team. We are also trying to set something up in TDM but have to wait for the leagues to come.

Who we are searching for is …
- 2x Light Offense / Capper (7v7 and 8v8 Squad), 1x Technician (7v7 Squad).
If you don’t find your preferred position on the list, just contact us and ask. We will find something for you .
- A Person that is able to handle critics and is willed to improve. What gave us such a fast advancement was a constant analysis of our team - and players play-style … and we are used to call a spade a spade.
- A Person that really WANTS to play 2-3 matches a week and that is able to take some time for that.
- A Person that’s age is +18. The exception proves the rule.

What you should bring with you is …
- Some English skills and the will to use it. God knows that my English aint perfect … so don’t be afraid if yours isn't either.
- A TeamSpeak 3 ready computer and a microphone.
- Did I mention the motivation to improve?

Additional ways to find us .…
IRC (Q-Net): #nimbleminds


If your are interested, feel free to go to our forum and open an recruiting post there. But be aware (!) ... Our teams try to keep up their high standard ... ;)

Second match of ut99 zp iCTF Open Cup 2012

Thursday, 03.05.2012 12:16 - By Raisen - 4 Comments


Hello fellas!
The second match of ut99 iCTF zp Opencup was played last Sunday (sorry for the delay), that match was versus the most strong clan on group A, and we did know that we weren't going to win their map, and depending wich map we choose, too. So we decided to pick a closed map and go for a draw and get some points for the classification .

As we expected they won their map (Duku) 5 to 1, the second map (Eternal Cave) we finally won 1 to 0 :D, so third map was played. Finally they won the third map (Sprinta) 4 to 0.

Resume:
  • First Map: Duke by 5 to 1 we lost.
  • Second map: Eternal Cave by 1 to 0 we won!
  • Third map: Sprinta by 4 to 0 we lost.
So we got more than we expected and we are still going for the second place of the group to qualify.

Recent Developments in Tribes:Ascend

Monday, 16.04.2012 11:09 - By tumi - 0 Comments


Tribes is out of beta
Tribes:Ascend launched rather unspectacularly on April, 12th. The official release included one new map: Raindance, a Tribes classic; and a new game mode: Capture and Hold (CnH). Nevertheless, the demand on new accounts was so high that day that HiRez servers experienced some issues ^^
We hope for a bright (eSport-)future for this game including ongoing patching and community support by HiRez!

Tribes goes ESL
Although private servers did not make it into the release Europe's largest eSport league, the ESL, already announced an opening cup and VERSUS support -- as soon as servers are available. A detailed analysis on what this means for the Tribes community can be found here on spinfusor.org.

State of the Shazbot 2
While leagues and cups are being prepared, HiRez struggles to find a basic ruleset for competitive play. Community Manager HiRezBart started an open discussion in the official forums here.
The biggest issue seems to be the "Naked Spawns", i.e. you have to go to an inventory station to equip your favorite loadout. This dynamic was in the former Tribes titles and adds more emphasis on generator play and generally every frag/flagplay. Nevertheless, the community feels that in the current iteration of Tribes much has to be done to make it work since the game is balanced around the current system, even map-wise.

Free Spinfusors for everybody
For those of you who have not unlocked their Spinfusors yet: Shame on you! And get your arse here to get a free one!
