General Questions...?

[HanyouZero]

Intro --

I just started gunz 3 days ago and find i like it but there seem to be verry few players that actually want to play. Im sorry if that sounds odd but everyone constantly complains if it isent someone lagging it is constant accusations of hacking. I have learned from looking at a few sites that there was excessive hacking at one point and i realize that due to the lack of interpreting your target is rarely where you see them. This is in no way me complaining because i understand this is a beta and i have come to expect problems like this durring testing international edditions tend to be the worst on this note.

Game Play --
I have been playing a lot and come to find that the game is basically
Gunz = (3rd PS - Buggy Controls and Cam) + (MMORPG - The World)
Its a good setup but i find it hard to deal with the K-Style players due to the difficulty i have guessing there exact location because of fast and random movements in combination with the lack of accurate location data. is there any way recive more data from the server or some settings that i can change to make there movements look smother?


GunZ-I ---
Im glad to see what appears to be a fairly large community and well setup fan sites there is a lack of diversified tutorials but from what i have seen most players fall into 3 categorys K-Style, E-Style and Hybrid K/E Style (i may be using the wrong terms and plz correct me if i am wrong)


GunZ-K --
Seeing the company is based in korea it is apparent that it is the most up to date and has the largest ammount of content. Is there any clue to when we will see more content and functionality?


Networking--
If anyone has any way to achive a better connection to the servers and any bugs that could cause random spiking plz let me know as 2-3 players have said i randomly spike.

I have a fairly solid line 8Gbit down and 400Kbit up (saddly a fairly high end connection for a home connection in my area)


Weapons ---
I prefer high critical wepons Revolvers and rifles are my prime wepons and i cant make up my mind what short range wep to use i currently use dual swords.

I dont see the reason to use the low critical weapons when i can kill you while you still have a good ammount of armor left can anyone that uses
sub-mgs or any other weapons with a low critical what are the good points?

Sorry about the long post but, i tend to make them.

I think(not sure, maybe your settings are weird)that it's teh ebst it'll get, KStyle is jsut liek that. You get better at hitting em and predicting their movements after soem tiem.

True. Ther is also DStyle but that's rare.

Not sure, maybe soon though do to many little updates that seem to maybe be setting it all up. Who knows though, it was supposed to be November last year but it got set back. =/

My friend randomly spikes too. =/ For him it's wireless connection, dunno any otehr causes exactly. Ask in teh technical discussion for that.

Well, most people use shottys and swords. Lemme say what I know about wepaon choices... The duel swords(kodachis) are disliked due to weight... Most people prefer swords, lower weight, higher damage. People like shotties because at close range they can deal like 60+ damage. Though that's mainly KStyle. Anyone EStyle or even hybrid usually works with Duel Revs/Rifles(or anotehr automatic) due to they can be used at a range. Non critical weapons often have other advantages, SMGs fire amazingly fast and can be good at close range(I'll stick with rifles and MGs though... >.>) and shotties, as I said, blow peopel away at close range. Rockets, easy hits, nice damage.

Dunno about others but they keep me occupied so it works for me. >.>

Yes. This doesn't have anything to do with network settings, its your computer framerate. Go under the video tab in your options menu and push "optimize." If that's too ugly for you, raise some settings but it will cost you a couple frames. As a side note, LCD (flat panel) moniters support lower framerates than CRT (TV) moniters. If it's the same...then it's just you. Have fun getting used to it.

The world is a very large community and there's only a couple different races. The point is, they are classified under those, but they can still be different. VillageIdiot is a Kstyler, just like me. However, village takes more of a defensive approach while I take an offensive approach during battles. Certain players butterfly a lot, others half step constantly. Same can go for other playstyles. They fall under the category, but they don't play the same.

expect to see something new every once in a while (1-2 months). Don't expect anything big until about a year.

are you on wireless?

Single swords are much better than dual swords unless if you like to attack on the ground, which you shouldn't do. Especially for Kstyling, single swords dominate the competition.

I dont see the reason to use the low critical weapons when i can kill you while you still have a good ammount of armor left can anyone that uses
sub-mgs or any other weapons with a low critical what are the good points?
Weapons with a high rate of fire have a very stable damage rate. If you miss a shot with a shotgun, you have to wait at least half a second to shoot again. If you miss with smgs you have to wait 0.09 seconds to shoot again. Also, shotguns are really bad in long range.

@NSman, can you change your reply color please? Kinda hard to read. Just a suggestion.

KStyle is designed to be swift, with random weapon switches, and intricate key combinations that just makes it very "hard" to learn at times, and they're very fast. But when you adapt yourself and actually have the ability of "anticipating" their movements, then you will get a better chance of defeating them.

Making the moves more smoother? I think MAIET could / should / might be able to update such demand, and it might also produce low-ping players.

Hope this helps....

Thx for all the info i am not on a wireless and in all the rooms i have been in i have little more than a 50 ping. I am running an Ati X800 XT PE From Giga-Byte so i dont see how it could be my frame rate on a game that looks fairly bad unless it is just the gfx engine they are using i will try to update my drivers and see if that helps but they are only a few weeks old.
