For those who want to be "Pro"

[Koven]

90% of the people that come to GunZFactor care enough about the game to actually search for a online forum, and want to be "pro". So let me warn you of the consequences of being "pro":

Two friends of mine got arhtrite playing gunz, one of them, actually developed a disease called Carpal Tunnel.

Originally Posted by Medical Website

Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the hand, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist. The median nerve controls sensations to the palm side of the thumb and fingers (although not the little finger), as well as impulses to some small muscles in the hand that allow the fingers and thumb to move. The carpal tunnel - a narrow, rigid passageway of ligament and bones at the base of the hand ¾ houses the median nerve and tendons. Sometimes, thickening from irritated tendons or other swelling narrows the tunnel and causes the median nerve to be compressed. The result may be pain, weakness, or numbness in the hand and wrist, radiating up the arm. Although painful sensations may indicate other conditions, carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common and widely known of the entrapment neuropathies in which the body's peripheral nerves are compressed or traumatized

Basically, he'll be submited to surgery, and he will have a painful agony in his hand for the rest of his life. So if you think in going hardcore in GunZ, remember to first of all, take breaks of 15 minutes for every hour you play, and not playing for more then 4 hours daily.

With this said and done, remember you got to make every practice you make progressive, and you'll lose 5 hours of your life daily (4 hours + 1 to rest).

You'll also lose your anonymous status in GunZ, people will constantly whispering you, asking you for things, challenging you, and making your gunz life less funnier, even more if you go into a TOP tier clan, or you can do it like me, make a clan for friends only, and appreciate gunz instead of hardcoring it for the solo purpose of being good.

If you take gunz serious, you'll end up stressed, depressed, and all kinds of mentally ill status, so when playing gunz, make sure you remember, that either you're good or bad at gunz, it won't affect you in real life, relax, don't take it serious, have fun, it's a game, supposed to relax you, and make you have fun, also remember that gunz has an online community for the purpose to get you new friends, not to lose the ones you already have in real life!

Don't lose all you've accomplished in real life to play gunz, don't stay away from your friends, play gunz as a hobby to actually have fun in death times.

Also remember that the free status of gunz is a priviledge, not a right, so cut some slack to MAIET and ijji!

Also, don't divide the world in noobs and pros, or get to be a stupid prick over everyone, you need to respect every person, for behind every character, there is a human being with feelings, don't immediately kick someone, ask them to leave and explain the reasons, if he denies leaving, kick him, if he doesn't get kicked, don't stress, you leave yourself and make a new room! When turning down a person from your clan, don't say no because you're a noob, instead explain him the reasons carefuly, why he can not join, for distance lag, skill, hacking reasons.

Also if you follow a hacking path, this will ensure you'll never be a pro at gunz, hacking is the dark side, once you get into hacking, you'll never be good at anything except hacking, and you won't ever be proud of yourself as being pro does.

So if you still want to be a pro, take all those things in consideration. And give your best, relax, don't get into flaming, and don't care about what everyone says about you, even if you're a noob that plays for 4 months life me, I kick serious ass, people hate me for that, but that doesn't make me any good or better, so just have a good laugh, and ignore it.

Honestly,
Koven

The word "pro" actually means professional and that means you take money for being professional in that area... I don't see "pro"s take money for what they do ^^"
So... my opinion, none are pros! (And self proclaimed ones are often ego)

And about games... it's right. A game is supposed to be fun, relaxing and a little break from the everyday life to make it through the next day. Now... if you think games as a... duty, then you've got it all wrong. Of course... if you enjoy on others unhappiness because you beat them... then you're surely a retard... If you beat someone it's better to make them feel better over the loss. A game like this can't be won as there is no true goal. It's just a giant chat room for so to say... meeting people as koven says.

Best thread in this section ever

[Casval Zem Daikun]

So because your friend was stupid enough to play GunZ all day and develop carpal tunnel, we're all going to? "pros" probably aren't even the ones that play all day, i've been playing this game for over a year and a half, i've been playing Stepmania for damn near 4 years, and I still have yet to develop any "agonizing pains" in my wrist or hands.

gg

EDIT: rofl, this belongs in the BS respect thread in The Garrison. You're missing the point, as long as there are people, there are going to be classifications, and there are going to be ranks. Calling yourself human is a classification, there's nothing you can do to get rid of it. It'll be here until the last human dies out.

El em eff ay oh. Carpal Tunnel from GunZ?

GunZ is a slow-paced game. He must've had a physical disorder before starting, to form CT from something like this.

Stepmania ftw! *waves to Casval*

Also, "never being good once you hack" is rather silly. I know quite a few "good" people who've hacked at one time or another.

I can say you're quite stupid, to start of by making fun of his disease. His right hand got the problems from Stepmania, which I don't even know what is, and his left from K-Styling like a madman in GunZ, that's what the doctors said, are you a doctor?

GG?

Actually you should learn to RESPECT people, you need to respect others, for people to respect you! If everyone was an "idiot" like you, there would be no respect in the world, common sense, which is what makes A SOCIETY, and since you live IN SOCIETY, AND NOT COMPETITION, there's a feeling of helping each others, not to make them feel bad or be better then them.

So to add to to it, being pro is not throwing people down, it's to bring them up, and be able to climb even higher, sooner or later you'll learn that boy!

Hitler thought like you, and all he brought was destruction, which lead to nowhere, people that think like you are not needed in the world, but you have your place, we hope someday you actually grow mature, change, and actually EARN your place in a society, not by putting everyone down, but being able to succeed by your skills, not because you've erased all the competition.

So to finish this, everyone is competitive, but the society reigns over all kinds of competition.

The sentence which I marked in bold pretty much explains what you know about GunZ...

[Juice]

what some plp wont do to get rep ...

[Halb]

Koven. Let me compare Stepmania to GunZ...

GunZ: Tactics, aiming, (when in the heat of a SSfest) pushing maybe 7 keys a second.

Stepmania: Pushing arrows in time to music, varies from a relatively slow 16 keys per second up to 30 keys per second in some harder songs.


If he played Stepmania with only his right hand, no wonder. He's not doing it right.


Your comparison of him to Hitler is rather odd, considering Hitler respected others and was respected. He became leader of a country, after all.

Don't point out one thing in my post and ignore the rest, now.

Casval, ranks will occur until the second to last human dies out. >_>


Anyway, what kind of keyboards did the kid with Carpal Tunnel have? It must've been a block keyboard in order to cause such a disorder.

[Kryptic]

i fail at stepmania on hard...

teh arr0wz they r m0vingz t0o f4st

[C•L•O•U•D-]

That was a HOT thread

[Bao]

I'm sorry, but to your friend...LOL CARPAL TUNNEL

[Koven]

Actually, another person in the forum which I won't mention (unless he PM's me saying I can) already PM'ed me saying he also developed Carpal Tunnel from playing gunz, and another person told me he developed it too over MSN, so keep laughing, maybe your time comes! (which I am not saying it will come, or wishing it does, I do not wish bad to anyone).

[Wh0re]

NICE +REP, omg how do you give rep?

Zzzz exaggerate much? you can take it seriously without it making you any of those lol.

Also remember that the free status of gunz is a priviledge, not a right, so cut some slack to MAIET and ijji!

since you've only been playing since september, don't judge our whining until you've experienced what MAIET has done over and over. Also, it's a right, as stated on their site, and it's not free anyway, people pay them for prems (or atleast MAIET for now) so they expect good customer relations.

Also if you follow a hacking path, this will ensure you'll never be a pro at gunz, hacking is the dark side, once you get into hacking, you'll never be good at anything except hacking, and you won't ever be proud of yourself as being pro does.

I beleave your referring to leeching. If you become an advanced actual hacker and learn a computer language, chances are it will take you far in life. (but don't release anything -.-)

So if you still want to be a pro, take all those things in consideration. And give your best, relax, don't get into flaming, and don't care about what everyone says about you, even if you're a noob that plays for 4 months life me, I kick serious ass, people hate me for that, but that doesn't make me any good or better, so just have a good laugh, and ignore it.

In bold, this is a general internet rule.

Anyway, why isn't this in the garrison?
