[Camo]

Night fight and 12 hr are these the same thing.,...

Also have they started to be more friendly with the regulars when it comes to prices and air?

Night games are 12 hrs long.

As for the prices, I have a feeling we'll be seeing the Devil throwing snowballs before you'll see NPF dropping it's prices.:thumbsdow

[Ben]

lol well said.

[Willendorf]

what do they charge?
and when is the next one?

[Ben]

$20.00/100?

[Willendorf]

20 / 100 balls?
holy shit thats expensive!

[Ben]

12.00/100 for 12 hour games sorry.

[Willendorf]

thats still $240 a box, thats rich!

[KENNY]

thats still $240 a box, thats rich!

welcome to NOOBSVILLE, population yuppie suckers.

maybe you hit Jeff up for walk-on paint :bundy: :lol: :bundy:

[zyhin]

yeah, good luck to that.

if you want to play his days, you have to pay his prices

that why none of the spec ops guys go

[Hornet Driver]

what do they charge?
and when is the next one?

A: Too friggin much.
A: Who cares?

Ben, you only get your $12/100 balls if you pay for them ahead of time. Any that you buy on the day are $14/100 balls.

Consider that you are going to be there for at least a good 6 to 8 hours. Consider whether or not you can afford to be there for that long.
A second mortgage???

Soapbox away...

[Gstar]

whos going on the 3rd

[Duck!]

Would be fun ... but still too rich for me!

Bring on a decent case price & maybe???

[lil nicky]

yeah, i've been thinkin bout goin eva since i played there last year, but it's jus too expensive for me rite now:yell: ! lyk to play that long woud prob cost u at least $400-$500 i reckon(i havnt realy tried to work it out so yeah) but wen i get enough saved up, i mite go uot for 1, jus to c wat its lyk, i'd lyk to play a big scenario game, but i'm not apart of any club coz i dont evn hav a car license yet so cant drive out there! but hey maybe 1 day:clap:

[Albatross]

Dude, come out to the Team America big game. It may be a bit more expensive if you're not a spec ops member, but even then it's going to be a lot cheaper than NPF, and if Red Dawn was any indication, it will be intense, but awesome fun as well.

[Ben]

$500 would be some guys yearly budget for paint.... thats crazy prices. Good luck to those who can afford to play at those prices.

[SniperWolf]

you might as well be putting money through the hopper, u might get more shots :lol:

[JSC_Liason_neo]

What gear do I need extra to play these games?
what type of paint do you use, UV??
How can I get my local feild to run these night games?

[zyhin]

1. the same gear you alway use

*******no field bashing please********

[vonsplatt]

There is a 24 hour laser skirmish game at Mango Hill from the 3rd til the 4th. If you want cheap ammo THIS is IT. FREE AMMO!
It doesnb't bruise like Geof's though.

[KENNY]

hey guys, how about this thread be kept on topic.
it's not a bash NPF/my field is better than yours thread..
some of you are gettin as bad as Mike in a AXL/MacDev thread...

[maximillian71]

Its got nothing to do with who's field is better:no: , its a price issue.:whip:
I like playing on NPF field :D

[Hornet Driver]

I have to agree here guys.

There was a legitimate question asked at the beginnning of this thread, and it was responded to in a legitimate way.

There are those amongst us who firmly believe that the ONLY thing keeping us from attending these games is that the prices are way out of our league. If you take this as field bashing, then that is your perogative, and you are completely entitled to think along these lines.

However, it would be fantastic to see that more people could afford to go, as I, and quite a few of the other contributors to this thread, believe that this is the sole reason these events aren't more favourably patronised, and patronised by those who love to play the game on a regular and return basis.

If we cannot afford to attend, then what are we to think other than that we are meant to understand that we won't go if the prices are deliberately pushed too far above the competitor's rate(s)??

I believe that they should look at this very VERY seriously, and question whether or not it is intelligent to continue charging so much for paint when they are turning away a large portion of what could possibly be a return market, and a bankable base of patrons.:confused:

I just don't get it...

[Blobby]

regular paintball players with own gear to lay night game.....15
newbies hiring all gear and not played before but likely to come back to same field agian if enjoyment met....100
paint priced at same a competitor field...80 bucks abox by 115 =$9200
paint priced as is at $240 box by 100 = $24000

as a former field op...i know who i want at my field

[Hornet Driver]

Capitalism. Nice.

I understand your point of view entirely, and cannot disagree with the merits of the argument, however...

You need to focus on one point you have made.
..."If enjoyment met..."

That, sir, is the $64m question.

[BJM]

It's relative...

[Mark:-)]

The paint prices there are the only thing stopping me from going... night games would be awesome! That being said I don't support the venue because the prices are EXTREMELY high, and until they come down to a point where they are affordable for me, I won't go, nor support the field.

If you're on Bills, you obviously have a keen interest in paintball and you've taken the next step to become more active in the sport. I'm not gonna blow your skirt up with bullshit, i'll tell you how it is.

[zyhin]

i'm thinking off going

































nowhere near that field:lol:

[rubixcube]

Charging those kinds of prices is fine when you are charging the ordinary punter who plays once every 2-3 years. A field needs to in order to stay alive, however when a field decides to put on a special game, (such as a 12 hour scenario, etc) and you want regular players to come out, you need to look at what the competition is charging, and charge accordingly. If field A is charging $100 a box, and field B is charging $240, who are you (as a consumer) going to support ?? Once a customer finds out that they are paying 2 1/2 times more than at another field, how happy are they going to be ??

There seems to be about 30 Spec Ops members who show up consistantly at normal bushball days each month, and that number keeps growing. Why ?? Because Gav has kept prices reasonable, so players keep coming back.

I know the fields at NPF reasonably well, and if prices were significantly reduced for their special events, I don't doubt that they would have no trouble having 100 + people running around on the day/night. If the prices at NPF were in-line with Samford, I for one would go to a night game. I also believe that there are many on here who share my opinion on this. Having different fields to play on would be great, and offer some nice variety. I for one have a limited budget, and being able to buy a box of paint for $ 100 allows me to play a bit more often, well I will play a bit more often once work settles down to a routine.

[cambo]

i was there but left just before the second game finished,the viet cong was pushing pretty hard there at the end, did the actually make it up the hill i had a good time in the village with another bloke.man we wasted a few VC there.i sighned up as a member bout a week ago at npf they are very helpful and paid $110 for a box of 2000.

[Trapper]

well theres something, 2 conflicting prices, 110 from cambo everyone else saying 240

[cambo]

sorry,members are $110 per box.not to sure bout non members.

[Camo]

thats ok...what a bout the air situation?

[zyhin]

whats membership worth, so you get this price(which i'm yet to see)

i'd be happy to go and play for that price if the memebership is still a far price

[cambo]

i paid about $68 i think it goes up a bit after febuary but if u do the maths paint $110 + membership $68 = $178 alot less than what non members were paying $240 for the same box.air was free.

[cambo]

thats 1yr membership

[Hornet Driver]

Well well well...

Has anyone noticed that "NPF" is now member of Bill's???

I noticed about 2 weeks ago.

Now, paint prices have dropped for members, and you can buy boxes of paint!!!!

Holy crap Wade, Randy, Pup, Dave, me!!!:eek: Could it be that SOMEONE is FINALLY listening to the people they depend on for the survival of their business???!!!!!

Wouldn't that be a coup...!!!:kiss:

[Camo]

i paid about $68 i think it goes up a bit after febuary but if u do the maths paint $110 + membership $68 = $178 alot less than what non members were paying $240 for the same box.air was free.

Thats not that bad I guess, but again do they have air out there, because I know fat cat had to hire air to got out there

[cambo]

yep as much air as u want.free

[zyhin]

they'd have to have air now, they are running sup air days

[michael]

Greetings all, glad to be aboard a great forum, some excellent info and resources available. To anyone out at the NPF 12 hour, thanks for contributing to an awesome day! :thumbsup:

Cambo, I can't remember off the top of my head who won the 2nd game? (I think I was too busy wiping the paint off myself in the deadbox:o ) But you missed out on some great playing after you left, rescuing the POW was definately a highlight!

I too agree the prices are a touch higher than competing fields, but I always have a great time down there.
To add to the excitement, my friend had a suspected snake bite which turned out to be an elusive brown snake (he generously passed on the 1500+ remaining rounds) so that was interesting.

But thanks again to all who played, hope to be running from you all quite soon :clap:

[moshoo]

[Geoff NPF]

Well I have finally done it and started to look at Bills Paintball.
I have been involved in the paintball industry now for over 13 years as a player, a field owner, an importer and a supplier...I see that nothing has changes much in terms of the bagging and misinformation being dealt out by so many players. Somethings never change!

Don't get me wrong: I welcome contructive criticism but draw the line when some of you make statements without the proper facts, which I know you will never have because you hide behind your tags and don't have the integrity to ask me or one of my staff personally.

If you took the time to contact our staff at Strategic Sports Shop and got the correct information, you would see that you have been misinformed.

NPF was one of the first fields to offer membership to social players (not for tournament players but for those who wanted to play more than once or twice a year). These players can play with our standard bookings without the worry of being lit up some person with a electro marker and wiping them off the field. Thsee players are not restricted to play only on certain fields and against only other members. They can play all over NPF in our standard sessions. Yes they pay $12.00 per hundred to play on those days. This is designed to protect the novice players getting the crap shot ot of them by some member with 2000 rds of paint and a huge price advantage.

Members have their own designated training and members' days once a month. They learn how to play better paintball and enjoy a level of play a lot different to a normal social day. The cost for paint then is $110.00 a box of 2000 quality Proto Paintballs (Just ask the players who shot it at the last Super Sevens!) This price also applies to the Night Games and Scenario days and any Special Events. If the member purchases paint on a night game it is still $110.00 a box. We do not restrict our Night Games or Senario daya to member only. We offer them to everyone. The non members can purchase paint on these days for $14.00 per 100 on the day or pre purchase for $12.00 before.

Membership at NPF is $75 for the first year and $55 for each year after that on renewal.

For Tournament players wishing to use our team training facilities please contact me for rates and services.

If anyone requires any additional information feel free to contact me personally or one of my staff at the Strategic Sports shop on 07 3891 5366 or drop in at Shop 1, 16 Nile St Woollooongabba.

[Geoff NPF]

I forgot to mention enty includes gun overalls goggles co2 or air and a 2 course meal for the night games

[zyhin]

thanks geoff for setting things straight

there are alot of player that wanted to come out to your night games but found it to rich for their blood(myself encluded). even know we have all wanted too.

now that everyone knows of the membership and cheaper paint prices. i'm sure that you will be seeing alot of the boys out there.i know that i for one will most likely be there(pending the date):thumbsup:

[Camo]

Hey Geoff,

thanks mate for placing the information up, could i suggest you open a new thread, or atleast gives some times/dates of events and training days?

[Hornet Driver]

I will publicly state that I am very very very happy to see that NPF is now selling paint by the box.

I will also publicly state that the quality of the Proto paintballs is top notch. It would compare with anything else that is in the same price range.

Good to see.

[cambo]

i agree hornet :thumbsup:
