[Mike] Dev Blog 2 ~Ideas~

(Yay! New logo Thanks to Alex)

Q&A is on hold since most of the questions we're unanswerable in this format.

Now for future work, the situation I've been put into is still kind of difficult to showcase a lot of things, but I can continue to talk about it ^_~
Anyway, if anyone is curious, yes I am a coder 99% of my dev blogs will be related to coding.

After much consideration, and playing FGunZ a few things have been irking me so I though we'd go ahead and fix them as well as some new features.
So far, these are soley my ideas so do not get too excited for anything these are things I've done on my own and their being added is to be determined by the higher-ups, one is also open to player debate since it will greatly effect players.

What may be coming:
1. Staff Exceptions for game tags in the event channel.
Why? Well, too many times does the limitation effect staff when trying to host an event. Allow themselves to use rockets and others bring rockets to dodgeball. Allow grenades for DBN and others will also do that, sooo this will prevent that, a useful but needed fix.
2. Ingame lobby chat for Staff & VIP's
Why? It's a useful feature and it can be extended to VIP's it will most likely have a toggleable checkbox in the option so you can disable it once and forget it. This will allow GM's and other staff to intercept calls for help while possibly being busy in a room. There may also be a necessary delay on it.
3. [V] Tag will only limit HP and not give HP.
Why? Too many people abuse [V] with weight rings or other things that are ment to remove health.
4. Lessened restrictions on quest roomtags.
Why? This one is a maybe but questing is a feature in GunZ that shouldn't sit and become useless. Sure you get exp by killing monsters and not other players but as it is it's highly ineffective to limit almost every tag in it.
5. A 1.5~3 second delay before you can fire with a sniper after scoping in.
Why? This one is open to the heaviest debate and I'd love some feedback on this A sniper SHOULD be a sniper, it shouldn't become a way for someone to "quick scope" and abuse it like it's a heavy revolver. In doing so, the speed restrictions may get lightended but this is the only fair way in my mind to keep snipers used as they should be.
6. Silencing ingame aswell.
Why?Too many people spam, silencing ingame will be useful for events such as true or false, and simon says.

That's all for now, if you have any suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them as well but please keep them reasonable.



On a personal plug, I made a skypebot and im working on improving it, if you'd like to (ab)use it on skype, feel free to PM me your skype id.

Finally, the [V] tag will be the way it's supposed to be.

Gets annoying when people can abuse heavy items with no punishments (1 hit nades etc.)

Everything else seems fine. Don't think snipers do need to be changed, but oh well, I only use them for fun and I don't find them annoying anymore anyways. Won't make it my call <3.

Good stuff.

This is a pretty good idea.

And finally the [V] abusation has been stopped Q---Q

That first idea is genius ,_,

ikr but for staffs ;-;

This should be secondary stuff. Things like improving the anti-lead system should be primary.

Anyway, good to see someone's working on something ;P.

LOL hard at last idea
No one will use snipers if that effect is taken place. Instead, the game will be saturated with SGs and Sprays.


No thanks.



Everything else is a good idea.

Is there any way to make the replay system nicer?

How so, I'd need a little more descriptiveness than nicer.

It'll make then snipers and not heavy revolvers. Which is more or less ideal since snipers, snipe from a distance.

If you read my first dev blog, thats being done already.

The ability to seek would be nice.

Im aware of that, but still, what i tried to say is to keep focusing on that, and THEN when it's done, go work on the other secondary stuff. :)

Yayyy i like it <3

Nice Idea

I wish they can make sniper scope zoom in and zoom out with scroll #swagg

This would be great for the fps mode mode xD

Yayyyyy Ninja Jumping in Quest :4

Suggestion:
Is there anyway you can make Staff be able to silent a room in-game. It would be so useful for events x.x

Ah I forgot, that should be coming in the next update too. Added it to the main post.

Turning jjang on/off with a command in game. For example, for events it would be useful, other than relogging, missing a round and not getting into the room again.
Amount of symbols in room titles should be extended.

NOOOOOOOOO. This means everybody will be using shotguns, because I'm a rocket/rocket + large swords x2 + sometimes 2hko grenades user or other heavy item user and I always wear the weight rings and specifically look for [V] rooms. I suck with shotguns and this would completely ruin my gameplay. That's why there are tags like [EX] [SGO] etc, preventing people like me in rooms, no?

That's specifically why it's being changed. Playing like that is abusing the tag to play in a way the game was never ment to be balanced and played.

Really useful. c:

You can make a new command in-game.
/admin_count 5. (event)
and you will see 5.4.3.2.1. (Like DT match when the game counts the seconds). -> FOR LAZY STAFF.

I'd love to see that quest & sniper feature!

It's possible to do, in multiple ways I might add.

Add more characters per account. 4 characters are too little :(

agree

I remember when donor revs were 80 dmg old times dr bla bla :D

omg that [V] tag is just genius. too many noobs abusing it T_T
edit:agree withAngry, need to add more characters per account

Using Snipers in a fast-paced game like this is already pretty hard, no need to add the delay. It isn't CoD where quickscoping is half-easy if you play for a reasonable amount of time.

Also please consider making HD maps (like what that dev posted in GD before), maybe even if possible HD weapons/characters too (I'm guessing that's not possible). Would be nice for some of us that get kind of tired of GunZ graphics after playing all those modern games, and players that would join if it could be done.

We have no plans currently for HD maps or HD anything a it would divide our playerbase and our Head Dev is not interested.
I for one tried out GunZ sniper gameplay and it is completely unfair to normal players, snipers should snipe not run around and destroy people in close range.

A slash counter and an accuracy meter .-. would be cool

RS3 allows for 10x more polygonal data. Textures aren't the issue. o.-

I still say if we made a channel specifically for HD Maps it wouldn't divide the community, but meh, I guess it doesn't really matter in the end anyway.

*shrugs*

snipe from a distance no no -.-
that's making this game like cod then leave snipers as is already wrecked with the speed thing

over all the others are good :D

Please Remove all 1 or 2 Hit kills items from the shop and make snipers with less damage so it will be fair for everyone else
I personally don't like the R mode in gunz too much spam and not original totally ruining the game you can add a little bit delay in it
Thanks for all the good stuff you are making for us :)

@Number 5,No quickscoping Lol

number5 best.

I find this a very bad idea, why would you remove the limitation AP, just make a change in the code that will calculate the new vanilla value if you wear extreme weight rings will maintain the balance yet nerfing the trick

Hey mike, I love the ideas. The sniper idea will really help abusers in [ia][r] rooms.. the [v] idea is a good one too.. It gets pretty lame when players try only to be mowed down by a double MG user wielding 2 - 1 hit nades.

One suggestion I have is to lighten the very dark "demon" avatar that players use in dark maps to gain an advantage (because you cant see them.. like in skillmap2) or at least put some bright red accents so we can see these guys.

Nice new future features.

Just a Few more suggestions since this is still open ._.

-A Command that Clan Leader/Admins can recruit in-game, It's so annoying going back
-Another command where a host of the room can change his room password ._."

Im not sure about the questing idea, it may cause it to be too easy

yes because questing is so ****ing difficult and I'm sure 400 players would love to go quest right now.
