Looks uh, interesting.

[Aenovae]

So I guess "gunz" is Korean for "swords."

[Fabricated]

I got it installed, and played a single game of Team Deathmatch. Funny enough I ended up in a room with a bunch of Something Awful goons.

This game is basically a not-as-good version of The Specialists Half Life mod, mixed with Gunbound's server/equipment buying style.

[NiX]

I enjoyed it. Mainly because I ganked the shit out of everyone trying to do all the fancy moves they have in the game. Level 4 baby! Had 4 instances where I got "All Kill" which is Korean for WTFPWNED an entire team by yourself. Sadly, as Fabricated pointed out, they went with the gunbound buying system which means you'll have to catass through 50+ matches to get a new pair of shoes. This only makes me want to play GunBound again because they gave the option to play on non item based servers.

No one playing this thing is good at FPS titles. I went from level 1 to 5 in 3 matches since I was owning people 3-4 levels above me. I only died when I got ganged up on or when I attempted to slug it out with people that had better guns/armor.

Yea, this game is easy. These people are terrible. But I'll tell you, after playing it and having 20 people in a match. No MMOG companies have an excuse for not having twitch. This game is faster paced than ut2k4.

Korea says, HI2U AMERICA, LOOK WHAT WE CAN DO ON $50,000. ROFLZ LUZERS.

[Der Helm]

I have played this game today, and I must say I like it. Lots of action, very fast paced, but still I am able to compete. Big plus, I even met schild in the game and managed to shoot him up pretty good. How much fun is that.

Seeing as how schild is too afraid to face me in UT2004 I'll have to go find him there.

[Der Helm]

Well, if you want some target practice, I will be online as soon as the game lets me in ...

I'm pretending to work right now so games are a no-no. Unless I'm playing the Useless News game, that is.

[schild]

Anyone else not been able to access the server for the last 2 days (saturday and sunday)?

[Calandryll]

Yup. Been trying to get in all weekend. No luck.

[Trippy]

Yup I have the same problem. I even redownloaded and reinstalled like the splash screen suggested and that didn't help.

[schild]

If this place had some sort of virtual city you could roam around in and get your business done with some sort of economy, I'd be near willing to ignore every American MMOG that comes out until they meet at least 50% of the action found in this game.

You mean like Shenmue Online? Too bad Sega hasn't announced if they are going to release the game in North America. I played Gunz for a little while (up to level 3) before the server crapped out and I agree with Fabricated that the combat is only so-so. Maybe it gets better once you can afford to buy some non-newbie items.

[schild]

So so combat is better than clicking "1" to launch a massive rain of fire.

[Hoax]

*sniff* why were people bitching about teh hate last week?  The truth will set you free.

[NiX]

Some people think that's very untrue, I still can't fathom why. I find this much more engaging than hitting 1 - 5 all the time. Something 8! But, that's only when I need a soulstone.

[Surlyboi]

If you're having trouble getting in, keep trying. You'll get in eventually. The game has gotten very popular very quickly and the FPS types are now starting to flock to it.

[Trippy]

Well the server is up now but now I'm getting >999 ping and everybody has that little connection symbol over their head and I can't hit anything.

Edit: Never mind I figured out the ping problem (don't play games on crappy hosts).

[NiX]

I still can't seem to get in. Cannot access server is the only message I get. I wish there was a way to get the server code so we could just host our own shit. I WANT MORE GUNZ GOD FUCKING DAMNIT!

[Hoax]

I want some Gunz...

goddamn somebody post when the server works for them 

[schild]

Hammered the server for 10 minutes. Finally got this:



Yea. So, it seems both the Koreans and the Americans have no clue what kind of response a twitchHEAVY pvp game would get. But at least our eastern friends are trying. Better something than nothing.

[Surlyboi]

Once you get that, keep hammering. It means you're close. =)

That said, the catassery has begun, some dink was running through a noob game with a goddamn rocket launcher and heavy armor.

[schild]

I want to cry. I haven't hammered a server since 1999.

[Hoax]

Yeah well we all know that nobody would want to play a more complicated persistant fps...   

Here's hoping that TwilightWar, this or Huxley can deliver the goods to us crazy niche-of-a-niche gamers.

Goddamn servers... been trying all night, and there isn't even an official forum to troll and bitch on.

**I'm not sure if I should thank or curse you for telling me that, I'm sure my G key would curse you**

[Trippy]

The server is up -- just keep trying.

[Hoax]

Welp I'm going to be tired as shit tomarrow at work.

Thanks Gunzonline!@!!

Gotta get lvl7 tomarrow so I can upgrade to the gold revolver looking dual wield then when I get 10 I can dw some swords too...  mmmmm akimbo

[lamaros]

Got on finally. Virtue of living in Australia, I suppose.

Didn't get much of a look because the game gave me motion sickness (which makes 2 from 2 with FPS games with this monitor) but I can't say I was over-impressed.

[Trippy]

Played for about 5 hours tonight and while I still think the shooting part of the game is only so-so the blade combat is hella fun. Does anybody know if there's a complete list of "special moves" listed somewhere? I only learned tonight you could power up your melee weapon by holding down the left mouse button (same effect as when you block at the right time) and you can "sword wall climb" with the right mouse button. Are there any other funky moves like that in the game?

[Surlyboi]

Got level 10, the dual weild swords look cool as hell, but function about the same as the regular sword.

I'm also totally into flashbangs now after having one used on me last night. You could fuck somebody's shit up but good with a well-timed flashbang and some swooping sword action and they won't even see who hit 'em 'til they're respawning.

Oh, and nice Bowie reference, schild...

[lamaros]

I tackled my motion sickness head on and tried again.

Played for about an hour and got to level 6 I think. Made the mistake of selling all my initial clothes for money without having enough cash to buy more. I'm not sure if it made much of a difference really, but I felt weaker running around in my undies.

Was ending up #1 or #2 in most of my deathmatches which surprised me a little. This was partly because the standard of play is pretty low it seems, but also because I was able to get a decent ping to many of the other players, despite being over here in Australia.

Have yet to master the melee side of things, and I'm unsure about all the powerup moves and so on, but otherwise I'm having fun. I'm looking forward to getting some more cash and buying some nice pants.

Yeah a bought a pair of those swords when I hit level 10 as well. From what I've been able to figure out they have shorter range than the long swords and the right click "fling up into the air" move is harder to land than with the long sword so I'm not quite sure what the point of them is. I played a lot of "gladiator" games last night (blades only) and was getting owned when I had the double blades and everybody else had the long swords. Once I switched back to the long sword I was able to compete.

Have yet to master the melee side of things, and I'm unsure about all the powerup moves and so on, but otherwise I'm having fun.

Try playing some gladiator games (blades only) -- that'll help you practice your melee skills. I had lots of fun playing "King of the Pillar" on the Battle Arena map where everybody would try to stay at the top of the central pillar as long as possible.

[Dodger_]

I want to play but all I get is "Cannot access server".  :-(

[Hoax]

Because I love you all, but dont you fucking dare take my server spot!!  hehe
