Good days and bad days

I'm no better than the average Freestyle GunZ player. (whatever the "average" may be. [most people act like they're beast]) Some weeks when I play GunZ, I go really hard. It's like everything from my movement, my aim, and strategies are just on point. Those days I feel like i can take on everyone and get through any situation, and most of the time I do.

This week though, (as with some weeks) I'm playing so bad. My movement is slow. I can't get myself to dash as constant as i'd like to. My aim is so off. On good days I hit so accurately and mindlessly it's almost like im a wizard.

I guess what i'm trying to get at is that there's no real consistent 'good' or 'bad' day with me. This is the reason why I don't 1v1 people or cw. Some days I do good enough in TDM's for someone to spot it out and invite me to cw, other days I do so bad that people rage at me and want to kick me from the game. ._. It's been something that i've been dealing with for years...

I smoke and drink sometimes, and have done experiments with playing sober and under the influence. (different results) I don't think it makes that much of a difference. Do any of you play under the influence?

Is it my computer?

I don't have any really bad lag or anything excluding a couple maps, but even that isn't THAT bad.

I plan on building a computer gaming computer in about a month or so.. would that help?

I really just want to be able to have a sort of balance as far as skill goes. Is that anything I can help? Is it a cognitive thing?

How do the skilled players stay skilled? Is it through experience? Do you guys have really bad days too?

Helpful suggestions would be appreciated!

cant play gunz in 2014 if im not under the influence

I only play someonewhat well when I'm stoned xD but after I get like 7 kills I start shooting my own team mates and kicking myself from every room.

I find that when I am playing for multiple days or hours at a time, my hands get accustomed to the keys I am constantly pressing (muscle memory?) and I am able to play better as opposed to playing at intervals with a larger time gap (more than 3 days apart).
Also, playing on a low level character makes me try harder to kill others (weapon disadvantage).

I recommend using the 250 FPS limit and match your game resolution with your desktop resolution.
I suppose it is whatever settings you are comfortable with.

P.S. I don't drink alcoholic beverages or smoke.

you dont play this to be the best.
got your "pro times"? be pro and play and drop people and have fun with it!
got your "bad times"? close gunz and look for other things lol

^thats how i do it. sometimes im off for weeks because it pisses me off haha

Before I play, I always enter training rooms to warm up my movement & aim
Then I wait for 'victims' to kill me on purpose before I start chasing them down over and over again until they rag3 quit ;^)

tl;dr warm up in training rooms whilst simultaneously getting r1d 0f the scum in tr4ining rooms huehueuhehuehue

1v1 town with someone it helps you get warmed very quick.

I used to warm, but i've concluded that it doesn't really make that much of a difference. .-.

It's really hard for me to just give up. Yeah, it's really frustrating sometimes. No one likes to lose. But when I win it makes me want to keep going and keep playing.

Yes.

So you're saying that because my computer is bad I don't do as well as i'd like to in the game?

That's really the say-all end-all conclusion? Serious question.

this game is made for bricked computers ran by obese hamsters in a rusty old wheel, this computer is "DECKED" if you compare it to the recommended specs needed for this game.

There are the MAIET recommended specs for the game (which i believe i meet), but what do the skilled majority use?

you know how many pro players i know that only have half your specs?

Practice, and when you're done practicing, practice some more. that's how you get skills.

Practice isn't my problem, i know how to play the game. It's just that some days I play better than others and i'm trying to figure out why and what I can do to get some sort of balance.

-Mostly anyone good uses 250fps
-8hours of sleep idk why but it helps ALOT
-Play more cw because the skill level in tdm is just pathetic compared to it so the more you cw the better you get at it. You'd prob say something like oh my skill sucks but who dafaq cares? playing with a bunch of noobs aint gonna help you become any better
-Wear glasses if you need them
-Play 1v1s town 100rounds to get your aim right, the better ur opponent is the better you'll get even if you get smekt I bet you'd end up better at the end of the 1v1
-In my bad days I'd just play and get it eventually but sometimes I get it sometimes I don't but regardless I still play.
-And for cw as long as that goes it's not really about aim there's a bunch of factors imo. Some cwers are real good but they suck at 1v1. Like some of these koreans their potting skill is just GODLIKE but they suck at duel rooms
-Get some energy when you play the game. Like dashing around more and dash blocking most people just can't be bothered but when I'm truly at my peak I use it a lot.
-Another thing i noticed is that when I'm at my peak I'm really concentrated on the game and not serious just calm and concentrated so keep that mindset in mind when you play I guess

there is no balance, life has ups and downs in general, it applies to everything.
Like I said, get even better by practicing alot so that even on "bad" days you will be far above average.

These are suggestions that I will take in and apply. Thnx.

I'll try to cw more.

Pls...
I'm using core2duo from stonage with 4gb ram (2,8GB Usaable) and for graphic card i got gtx 550 ti.
I dont think that your pc is not good enough,if you get stable 250 fps you're fine.
but i dont know anything about amd tho so meh

you take this game way too seriously, if you want to be good chill the **** out and just poop on people, ezy game ezy lyfe

try underclocking or overclocking till u reach the point that u dont need it anymore '-'
jk u can try some new crosshairs to play with :4

you're an idiot if you play GunZ sober 24/7. when you're sober you try way too hard at least for me I tend to play better when im high as sht

I admit I'm bad :o.o. but i dont get mad about it, Like Baked said, only the chilling part, just go in training rooms or something. Or go warm, or do something that keeps you hooked on to this game.

I personally feel gunz is a huge mental game. Some weeks I feel on fire and wreck a lot of the considered "good" players. Other weeks.. I start to actually BELIEVE i'm garbage, because of a few bad games, and i'll under perform severely. There is a lot of factors like reaction time, confidence, decision making, aim, hand speed.. We, as humans, have moods or instances in life where these will just be lacking at any time. That's just my take on it, of course. Then theres the gunz players who are just good all the time..

You pretty much asked if it was your computer. I gave a blunt answer. No need to question it. Besides, it's only a joke. My windows '95 could run dis. I have days where I question why I suck so bad, it's cause pms hates me, but I'm like super streaking when I don't care. So maybe relax? Lol idk

Theme of the thread = stay calm













oh... and "Idk"

That processor is ub3r bad man, advice for future, Instead of buying a low Ghz processor with more cores buy a strong one with less, much better.

keep a good mindset. dont play under stress. feel confident. act cocky. imagine yourself playing good.

best way to always keep yourself in the zone? play with me, you'll be forced to carry me.

no u dont feel garbage u are garbage newgen scrub fanboi wannabe

jk i luf u dylan :3

I have the same problem. When I play good I am just very motivated to play the game. But sometimes when I log in Im very lazy to concentrate then I lose alot and ppl start underestimate me again. But when Im motivated on another day I own all the noobs all over again.

To me its because I have a busy life. Im not mommy's kid anymore. I have a job and have alot of responsibilities. So when I log in Im just tired and play for fun with less motivation. EDIT: When I drink alot of beer I get motivated and play on my best. I only drink twice a month or something but it works perfectly fine. But maybe it's because I don't play that much anymore

The only difference now is that the arthritis in my wrists tends to act a fool with certain styles, so I tumble like a nub a lot because it feels better on my wrists. But anywho, you are nice (:. I just don't like when people are so srs n mean..I really should start playing this drunk :D



I appreciate this post as well, because it really is a mental game. Like my first reply saying people want to kick me if I play bad, then I start thinking I suck so much that I go quest by myself, but I just get more upset LOL. There are those that are good all the time, I am def not one of them...good days and bad days, and since This is the first time playing in 7 years I'll be having a bit more bad days than good within the next couple weeks :P.

I'm glad you like the post. :3 I troll a lot, but I almost never throw my team under the bus when we're not doing well in a game.. ijust try my best. o:<

btw you really should invest in a mouse... >__>

I asked if the problem was several things, not just my computer.

i read this as "sit under a cock"

I don't think warming up is an actual thing, I tend to get on only when people ask me to come clan war and i do fine. The only thing you can 'warm up' is the level of smoothness between your movements which shouldn't be a problem if you have 250 fps and you arent fps lagging/spiking.

otherwise you're probably just bad if your skill level fluctuates all the time

thanks for the helpful info. :o.o

On a more serious note - there are a multitude of factors affecting how you play, including things such as sleep, mood/mindset, gaming setup, cleanliness of gaming setup (lol), viewing angle, etc.

The best thing you can do is to minimize discrepancies. Sounds sciency.

Oh, and always try your hardest regardless of how sluggish or bad you feel at any given time. Take a few breaks if needed.
