: I've been with Marathon for a few years (as best I could considering I'm a PC
: user) and I've never tried to vid anything. On a whim, I loaded up Aleph
: One and tried my hand at it. So, I was wondering, how do you handle the
: ticks? Is there sone way to punch these guys without getting blasted? I
: mean, there obviously is a way unless every vidder is a lying bastard or
: there's some sort of vidding conspiracy, but I can't think of it, the
: freaks are too damn nimble for me.
Well, try to reduce the risk of dying by only doing it to clusters of ticks (bonus if baddies are clustered around also). The only real tip i can give you on not getting hurt is.. be running, and time the punch at the earliest possible second of impact, and immediately take off in the other direction afterwards.
