Thansal, what's your name in game? We should really all jsut decide on a time/place to meet...
Maybe we should create an IRC channel to talk on... is #ns-offtopic taken yet? (or something similar since #naturalselection sucks... too many people talking there all the time)
the tradition with irc is to name the room #nsgamename. Sooo that'd be #nsgunz :3
As for the patch what they also 'added' is they've broken some of the / commands (mainly the /friend ones ¬.¬).
ah... yeah... now that I reread the post than's right; it's only the headgear that was cash items, the elemental swords are just part of the item upgrade system korean version has partially implemented :p
<b>edit:</b> Thansal is Thansal, Docchimpy is Docchimpy and I'm Jemma. There's a few gunz names for you ^^
<b>edit part II: return of the Gem</b> oh and if anyone wants the details of whatever patch they're listed <a href='http://www.gunzonline.com/forum/default.asp?db=release' target='_blank'>here</a> :3

Heh, so who is playing where? I want to meet up.
edit: And I know you're Jemma, lol... You were in I think the first game I ever entered in Gunz. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

rico is old school NS (just came back under the name rico1)
if you remember boondock marines ("and Rico is clicking his heels")
and he is rather bad arsed in gunz <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Oh, and I found that starting as a priest is actualy sorta cool.
I sold the frags and the mdkit to get me a second pair of guns (so I have both revolvers and pistols), along with my sword I am already nicely decked out for weapons <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Is he as lethal as me when I get warmed up? ^~ Can't say I really remember rico though outside of a sorta vague memory of seeing the name on the boards before and wondering if it was linked to the character from PSO :p
I honestly don't understand the start-up classes... they're not balanced by any stretch of the imagination nor are the gun layouts either really :s

Just played for about 30mins, it seems pretty fun. Nothin like flying through the air with your sword, only to meet someone else in the air, and you beat him to the punch with a quick swipe with your sword.

actualy, yah, rico is one of those people that was regularly ending up in the top 3
Oh, and I spent the morning on a series of good servers, All galdiator, FFA dueling rules.
God I loved that.
It works better then Team Gladiator for Duels as if some one is beign an ftard every one on the server can hunt em down <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> Also you don't have to wait for all of one team to die to start again, you just cycle through chalanges <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
btw, for those the don't know: Dueling = 1v1 swords only. the "start" of a chalange consists of bowing to each other (just hit 6 to bow).
The xp is fast, and the chalange is cooler!
oh, and WaterBoy is <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
don't have it installed atm as teh patch would just disappear if I clicked on the exe, so I unistalled (hte uninstall button also dissappeared when I clicked on it -.-' ) and I haven't bothered to download the updated full version.
I once had to come back from an exp of -600 during one match and I'm only level 9. Luckily that was just because I was testing a dagger in a sword only match and I came out with +300 xp in the end instead but it still gave me a fright :3
hmmm... that had crossed my mind and it was that beach map with the lethal pit area but I don't really recall falling down it THAT many times. Then again maybe the suicide penalty is high? Nothing worse that fighting with a weapon type you have no experience of in an area where a few centimeters usually means falling to your death :s
Someone also delevelled in a match I was in (levels 6-10) but that was the gladiator arena so again pits might've come into it even though there's only 4 in the map and they're easily avoided :o
Aaaanyways, even if it is different at level 21 the worst that can happen is you end up back at level 20 safe again from the xp loss :p
Isn't there some rule concerning the xp/bounty loss though? like the killer has to be lower level or something? I seem to remember it being mentioned on the official boards a bit :o

pfft
accept the chalange and fug em all up!
and yah, suicides cost you like 300 per death <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

and yah, knives suck. I will stick by that one. The only use is to do a knock down/uzi blast (sometihng I find silly).
In a fight a gainst swords you are gona get owned (as the knock down shots deal 0 dmg and that is your only way of not getting severly messed up).
You can blcok, and your knock down shot leaves you WIDE open.
so yah, I will be on latter tonight (like 3hrs ish) if people wana get a guild going then I will be up for it <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I found out today that we could make a private channel for us to meet on and blah blah blah....
So we could all go to like server 3, and then make a channel called "Natural Selection" or something... and then if we wanted to be really bastardly, we could make any games there password protected with the password "ninja"...
This would require people who are playing to go there though. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

On the fun side, most people don't seem to 'get' assassinate. I won my team a heckload of matches just by running right through them all and killing the glowy guy before they even realised I was there... half the time they'd totally forget to defend him ^^;
Well thanks to TranquilChaos, we now have a clan called TSA-Knights. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
All NS folks who were online tonight we made officers to make inviting new members more convenient. I'll idle in the irc channel when I'm not playing and if I happen to be at the computer I don't mind setting up a game for clan members to xp leech off of me.

oh, and I played quest mode today.
Aparently a few people have managed to hack it so they can start them.
things about quest mode:
1) it is pointless
2) it crashes the server
3) don't play it.
Is it laggy? I would imagine it is...
though it comes from shoddey net code (we think)
hit detection is often dodgey...
but you jsut learn to deal with it. And hit detection in melee seems to be a tad bit better.
Take dual smgs or you'll regret it; I'm talking from experience here ^^;
~blink~
who's rico? :o
