GunZ Online open beta test

[sanius]

The game is pretty good. I'm level 11, really want to get 12 to use a new gun..I can't wait until the game is polished and the quests are out, the game is so laggy right now. if you have a server with more then 8 people, it lags up. really really bad.

[Jolly Joes]

Me, I couldn't even connect to a server. They need to fix that problem soon.

[Derrellogic]

I finally got in the game after around a hundred tries. It's pretty addictive, even though I got my ass kicked around 200 times, but I blame that on my inexperience with these types of games.

This is a forum post apparently from one of the Gunz Staff:

Hello all.

I'm a game designer of GunZ. I was very surprised when I found this forum today. I really appreciate it, onrpg.com.

Umm... first of all, I need to say that I cannot speak English well.
I just hope that you can understand what I'm saying.

We thought that there will be so few ppls who like our game. And actually we couldn't get everything in readiness for providing international service. *cough*

We're still making our website and I think that it will be available after 5~6 days.

All developers are very happy to see you all peoples.

Really thanks so much for your concern and playing. We'll do our best.

There's more, but it's a general Gunz FAQ, about weapons and such:

FAQ in GunZ
---------------
Some peoples asked the followings,

1) Company?

MAIET entertainment, Inc. is a small Korea independence game company. There are just 12 developers, and they covered all development procedure of GunZ.

2) Publisher?

No publisher for International Edition. We're searching now
Currently Netmarble providing local service in Korea.

3) Service Plan

Maybe we'll do open-beta till November.

But you don't need pay anything for playing this game after open beta. We'll providing this service with NO CHARGE. Yes, it'll be FREE for all time. But some PREMIUM items will only be available at cash shop like Gunbound.

But the matter is not yet definitely settled.

4) Quest System

There is a quest system in GunZ. With your friends, you can fight with NPC. Also you can see boss including gods like EverQuest, and get great stuffs from them like high-level enchant items.

But this feature is still testing in Korea. Maybe it will be available at November.

5) It's so hard to earn XP and bounty!!

That's true. We balanced this game for Korean players. It can be changed for International Edition players.


SIMPLE TIPS
---------------

1) Ranged Weapon

Maybe almost newbies love SMGs. But you will find that SMGs don't have good accuracy.

RIFLE : nice precision and good DPS.

PISTOL : nice precision and good DPS! Especially high-end Revolvers have great power. But they have few bullets and magazines. Pistols including Revolvers are for high-level players. Many high rank players in Korea love dual revolvers.

SHOTGUN : Almost high level players using it. It has GREAT power! Although shotgun has a penalty on delay, there is some trick for reducing the delay in GunZ. (Try to find that. )

ROCKET : It has GREAT power but it's so HEAVY. Also it has a penalty on the movement speed. But some manias are using two ROCKETs for damage output.

MACHINEGUN : It has the greatest DPS and bullets, but it's also HEAVY. And its movement penalty has more higher than ROCKET. Also its accuracy is so BAD. But players who playing Quest love it.

2) Melee Weapon

Katana/Sword : Almost Korean players love them. Good weight, nice damage and well-balanced.

Dagger : Very fast! DPS is also not bad because its attack speed. And it's very light-weight. If you don't like to play with a Melee weapon, then it's good choice for weights limit.

Kodachi : Actually it's NOT balaced yet. Still under developing. This weapon is faster than Katana, and has very good DPS. But it's so heavy.
If you like to play 'Gladiator' game mode, then it's the best choice for you.


3) CANCEL

"CANCEL" is very important strategy for all players. You can cancel your special movements with slash. If you cannot understand what I mean, please try slashing while you do wall-running.

This is the BASIC of all high level controls.

[CrazyMrLēo]

I can't connect to the server. =P This is worse than the RAGNAROK open beta.

[OgtraX]

Cant start the game. After I click game start on the launcher the screen flashes and returns to the desktop. Anyone know what it could be. I'm downloading new graphics driver now to see if that's the problem

[Frost teh Jew]

I can join a game and everything, but when i go and play, it seems to me that the people just sit there and do nothing, i dont know how to fix it

[dead]

If you see people just sitting there or skipping arround, you or them are on a bad connection. If it seems like the entire room is dead, then odds are it's you.

[Housekeeper (loljanitor) Faddy]

I can't even run this on my own machines


I'll try though. I can't play it on the monster of a machine my mom has. Because of the firewall stuffs.


I'd prefer not to have my head splutted by the guy who maintains this machine.
