Hey all,

I've returned to Q3 E+ world. I'm playing mostly CTF and joined the all mighty NWC clan Happy

I've been doing well for several weeks, until this week I lost my aim completely and started playing like a big a$$ noob again. I f*cked up my gamestyle real bad, to the point that I can't meet any of my metrics again: 1v1 vs clan members, gauntlet trainings, noob servers, etc.

Last time this happened to me, I quitted q3 for a couple of months, then returned and got my aim back. This time I want to do something different, I want my old level back.

How do you guys deal with this? do you ever have bad weeks or screw up really bad that you need some time off?

Mariano

When this happens I... oh, what am I talking about, I never had aim to begin with... Big grin

I try to play some DM17 FFA against 7 gaunts (nightmare skill level) with a rail/gaunt only cfg a few times before I even connect to a server, just to get a warmup. I usually do 40 fraglimit.

My best time/accuracy so far has been about 1:17 with 72.2% accuracy. The funny thing is I'm getting so tweaked for that map in particular that I don't even like playing any other map lately. :roll: But I find it does help out some, especially if I'm playing like $hit and make myself do it over and over until I get over 60% acc. Then I connect to a noob server and let 'em have it for a few rounds.

i would suggest a lot of 1v1 versus really good move players.

then take a pause. a day or two to relax. then play a day or two, then relax.

in a week you should be back in shape Happy

dm17 vs bots always does the trick on the other side Happy

I just play. My rail accuracy differs not on a daily basis, but on a map basis. I can play thrice on the same map, with players whom have comparable to each other skills, and get first 25% acc, then 9.8% acc and then 45% acc. I am a very moody player.... how i deal with it? I smoke lots of cigarettes Big grin

not a good idea Happy

After vacation i have a sucky period too, the only thing to get back some skill is play and play, move slowly concentrate yourself on aiming, then make tricks, then do both Happy

Hm, i mis-spelled? I'm afraid i can't catch the meaning of what you said, Alias.

I can't really say i have a recipe for being under-form. That's why i usually completely ignore the fact that i'm playing worse than usual, and just try to do my best. I have absolutely no clue WHY i sometimes play like a very good player, and why i sometimes get my ass kicked hard. So i smoke a cig, clench my teeth, and just play. Happy
