astaka quite expensive to those who dont have their own equipments
need to add RM40 for mask+marker

Well, to me, TT sport is just bad experience. Bad field, bad EQ.

Try for yourself and feedback me ^^

but it still cheaper than other rite if a box of paintball cost RM200

RM40 + RM20 u get 200 pellets ....

xtion if u join member baru cheap ... RM45 for mask + marker + 200 pellet ...

i bet TT n others is expensive ...

let dont play paintball, play airsoft.

Dude, doesn't that hurt even more? o.0

luckily i got my own EQ


RM20 for 200 pellets
u sure or not?
i thought the price is about RM120 for 500 pellets for those who dont have their own EQ



i play all shooting games

u can call up n check ... coz my fren told me that a box of paintball now offer RM200 ... not sure rite or not ... coz they fren play there oso without own marker ...

TT cost u RM350 ...

U got own EQ ma ... how bout those dun haf sure no fun due to poor EQ supply by TT ...

yeap
astaka sell the pellets quite cheap
but the starterpack (mask+marker) rm40
if me..i got no prob with that since i got my own EQ
but hot about other members
mostly are 1st timer

first timer still ok wif astaka ...
TT charge u RM35 ... Rimba Harmonis charge RM40 ... many other oso the same price ...
Xtion charge u RM45 with 50 pellets ...
if all the 1st timer join member at xtion then RM40 for 1 yr membership ...
like that baru can get cheaper starter pack n pellet ...
but the 1st time pay is high ... RM85 for starter pack + membership + 200 pellet ...
non member if play 200 pellets will cost about RM45 (Starter pack with 50 pellets) + RM0.24x150 pellets = RM81
but if RM81 u can get starter pack + 400 pellets at astaka ...

for me n my frens ... we all member at xtion so play at xtion will be cheaper to us ... but if ur gang all dun join member then go astaka is cheaper ... Just my 2cent opinion ...

Astaka, IMHO has better fields. I think it's probably because they have to keep changing it since so many teams train on it for NPL. And you don't end up with a face full of mud if you dive into a bunker. It depends on what you want.

I wouldn't suggest TT sports to anybody. The paint is bad, the markers are horrible accuracy wise (do they never clean barrel breaks?), they fill their airbunkers with sand (don't slam into one) and their ground feels strange.. like sinky in some parts and completely hard in others. Also, their customer service kind of sucks... waited for ages.

Isi Rimba/Tanamera/Rimba Harmonis would be for people who want to go into the woods. This is okay as long as everyone is a newbie, because it gets really sucky when people with gear are virtually invisible and you stand out, even with subdued colour clothing. The paint is cheaper, but the markers are in really bad condition... sometimes the markers at Isi Rimba have jammed safeties . Expect to die if you're not in relatively good physical condition, and bring bug spray.

Astaka/Xtion/NPNG are better for more organised, speedball type games. This is probably better for newbies, or those who have no experience in jungle trekking etcetera, it's a cleaner environment, but you do fire a lot more paint. A game in the jungle can last an hour or two, speedball games can last 10 seconds to around 10 minutes. But it is easier to work out more tangible tactics on a speedball field.

Price wise, Xtion is only SLIGHTLY better than Astaka. At higher end, like 500 pellets, Astaka is cheaper. True, you need to pay 60 for marker + mask + field charge, but I'd say that the people at Astaka are generally friendlier. They're willing to help/teach newbies basic skills, at no extra cost.

If you want to talk about pellet consumption, games with less people, evidently, will mean you use less pellets. You also feel like you get more out of the day, since you get more games. Don't bother with 1 v 1, it gets really mediocre because it's literally a 50-50 chance of winning and eventually one person will continue winning... Strangely, playing in the woods results in less consumption too, even on massive scale games...

That's my... 40 cents, or so...

paintball if playing in the woods, the gun sound and gas smoke is a turn off..
speedball is too expensive.

There's no smoke... it's rarely used. You'd use smoke to cover when you move across wide, open areas... I think only tanamera has that, but the markers rarely have enough range to hit you if you're doing something like that.

The gun sounds is no different from that of airsoft. It can be as loud or as quiet as you want it to be. Well, admittedly, airsoft can be pointlessly quiet, which makes it a bit strange when you're expecting loud gunfire, but the only times you'd ever encounter a lot of noise is if somebody brings an automatic marker in.

Yeah, speedball is expensive if you spam shots pointlessly. 2 v 2 games can be over in 10 shots, you can play 50 games at that rate. 1 v 1 games can be over in 3 shots.

U all don't play speedball ma =.=

You have a borg? My friend bought a borg second hand, not sure what year it is, but it shoots so well ... planning to buy a Droid second hand if I can find one later on... with an NxE JRNY hopper... I guess the newbie crowd won't accept me either

Wait, how did you know I bought a Borg?

Haha, I dunno la, it's weird playing with newbs. Some of them are cool, some of them like, don't want play and LC about it. You got gun, we don't have...etc...

Lolx. Should be the other way around right? Lolx. Weird.

Yer... my crowd has just gotten used to it, it's good practice anyway.. and if they start complaining like mad we just toss the marker at them and let them use it for a few rounds... it's not like it makes a difference, you need to control how much you fire since it's really tempting to just let loose a whole hopper. It'd only be horrible if you carried like 4 pods on field and just fired continuously... then yeah, I'd be annoyed too

You set rules la.

Let modes, and hopper only lo. I don't understand how some pppl complain it's unfair.

I mean, the fastest I can shoot is like 16 BPS at Semi. Most of the time it wouldn't even reach at that speed anyway.

Oh well.

so how? anyone wanna join my game?

hey bro ... join my game next time ... last game my team lost most the game ... n i kena so many shots ....
guess i offende them a lot ... LOL ...
Need to recruit paintballer to kill them next time

if all ppl willing to play together then it is no point to complain so much bout this n that ...
if you dun allow ppl play their own marker y not say earlier ...
paintball is teamwork ma ...

does osama or other complain US got advance weapon ...
