Have anyone noticed any trends at all? If u do, post it here. To start things off, I got 2.
First
Do u notice that almost every person who use nak or a sate always wear chief hair and arch angel?
Next one
How come really boomer pros (only miss their shots once or twice per game) always wear golden helmet?
1). I've noticed that all "new" players user BigFoot.
2). Everyone has a money suit.
Meh.
Almost all 1:1's my opponent is allways either sate or boomer.
Everyone thinking bigfoot owns noob servers when everyone uses cake/sate in noob server
The wrod NS being thrown around for no apparent reason
People using ns instead of the word nice
Spanish people in GB
Aduka only games
The more "pro's" out there.....
People expecting too much from ranks
word pro and noob being tossed around
Slang/shorthand all over GB
the culture known as "azn"
More and more.....tired though, and I want to play asteroids
Yes, I've noticed that many people make useless topi- I mean, uh, people that speak Spanish like to yell a lot. 8)
Quotethe culture known as "azn"
Err. no. it's aZn.
have ReSpEcT YoOoOo

we r so kulz coz we r da aZnS!~!~ ^^
we r unique coz dere r onlii 3 billion aZnS out of 6 billion pplZ in da werld!~!~
all boomer pros use arch angle and Golden Helment ?
Ive not noticed that one that much.
and people you use nak want to take advantage of the fact that it has the second highest health in the game, only 100 less than a mamoth, so thats why they wear health gear aka cheif + arch.
And I only see Sates in the non-stat.
50 defense makes thier firepower advantage usless..
People say "bb" when someone dies <_< (is that suppose to be cute? it's annoying to me)
The ASCII porn with the naked body...
Spamming when the game lags (not that it does anything)
People saying "ns" in place of the word 'nice'...like "ns avatar, tr1ippy" (that's annoying too)
more and more pros acting noob, crying about dt and ks (should not be in pro vocabulary) and most especially teamswitching to a full team instead of just asking first or finding a new game.
Quoteand most especially teamswitching to a full team instead of just asking first or finding a new game.
yeah, i hate that. 3 members of my guild and I will be on one team, and some "pro" comes in and switches to our team. Now he KNOWS we arent going to let him stay here, but he will ready up just so we have to kick him out. its so stupid.
And a lot of boomer pros use chief and golden armor instead of AA, GH
People use the sorely overpowered a.sate a lot. Its the new mobile trend.
QuoteSpamming when the game lags (not that it does anything)
actually it does do something.
the game is based on packets, so if they can see the text the spam creates a continous source of lag.
enough people spamming in any game will slow it down, but If the person is going to lag out, it is pretty certain that spamming doesnt effect that much.

I have not noticed any time difference what so ever. I'm sure if you time it it's probably a few seconds difference if it actually does help...
I think it's a psychological technique to just occupy your mind while you're waiting.

most likely.
It should theroretcally make a difference, but the text takes up so little actually bandwidth it is minimal at best.
people do it to make the other team nervous, or express their impatience.
It will slow the game down because of dropped packets. If you've ever looked at how Gunbound handles networking in a packet logger you'd see how horridly inefficient it is: Every time an action occurs it sends a udp packet to -every other player in the game.- If one of these gets dropped, the game will end up resending it to the player in question.
While someone can get backlogged on lost packets (This is what happens when you see a 'network connection error', but they resync), it is extremely unlikely for it to completely choke out a user so that they cannot respond to other lost packets unless they are on a modem.
The fun part here is that since *you* are the one spamming massive quantities of packets, guess who gets to be the one that has the most lost packets? You do! But GB doesn't care if the packets you send get dropped, it only cares if people don't receive them. This is where the networking causes trouble... Especially if you're incapable of sending the packets at all, or receiving the "I missed this one" packet, from being choked out. But the odds of it lagging anyone out are extremely slim, only slowing things down for everyone.
In summary it doesn't really do jack against the vast majority of users and should only be considered as an effort to make yourself look like a retard by doing it.
Thanks for clearing that up.
although gunbound was supposed to make their system more effecient, from what I can tell, they just said that they did.
more people playing tree. co. :(
What is this tree. co.
lol yea what the heck is tree co?
The trends I see are rude people, the annoying as heck "jejejeje," a great deal of stat \/\/hore wands (and other high ranks that I should respect, however cant) that rape noobs in servers 5 to 9, a shitaki load of money \/\/hores that miss easy shots for *gasp* extra money, and the usual crowd of noobs, which I are starting to become 1/2 actual noobs and 1/2 pros in disguise -_-
lol thats about all I notice, the one thing that I wanted to stress however, was lack of individuality, seriosuly... I dont mind looking at money hores, but playing a 4 v 4 games, with me the only non money hore, is very very sad... I think that people in GB should wear more avatars for there appearance rather then stats (what can I say? I am a metrosexual, even in GB...)
QuoteThe trends I see are rude people, the annoying as heck "jejejeje,"
yah, a lot of people are laughing "jajajajaja" even non-spanish speaking people. And rude people is always a 'trend'...
People complaining about sate being overused even though I see 4 boomers for every 1 sate in a given game and at least 1 armor for every sate. Yep, sates the whore bot <_<
Wands and golden B. Axes wanting ever person above silver b. axe on their team.
Wands and golden B. axes firing off early duals/ss shots and missing.
There sure aren't as many games with teleports on as their used to be either.
Dont ever disrespect Asians, we started the game ur playing now, so dont even criticize us, because u should be gratful for being able to play this game for free. So chill....
If anybody can name an a.sate weakness i'll give you a cookie. Before you say 'Distance is its weakness kthx blah blah', distance ISNT isnt weakness. It still does 200 across the map with a well placed shot. Distance loses it 50 damage, whoopdiedo.
They really need to do something about it.
QuoteDont ever disrespect Asians, we started the game ur playing now, so dont even criticize us, because u should be gratful for being able to play this game for free. So chill....
We shouldn't be grateful to an entire race just because Softnyx/Joyon/whatever brought us Gunbound for free.
Respect asians, no....I respect the ones who made the game.
Thats like saying all black people are gang bangers, they arent.
Hell I even hate some white people because they are different then me.
What I hate are all the followers, people who join "azn" guilds, or have "azn" in your name, believe me if I add you and you have some affiliation with azn, I will bug the shit out of you because of it
Hahaha, don't really mean to laugh at the situation but let's not get it uglier than it has become. o_0
This thread has become "name what ticks you off in gb" more like...

One Sate weakness: 50 defense. In avatar on zones, they lose their massive firepower advantage, which is why hardly any sates are seen in servers 5-9.
ill take that cookie now, thanks.
So what are you saying? They should increase sates power? and your saying that all mobiles hit hard on 50def?! no...all the mobiles have the same problem just life stat and shit doesnt effect sate much...
-Bad title games = infinity game browsing = Annoying as hell. You enter a game *Come All !* and get kicked in 2 second.
-Stupid titles like win=item means theres a *pro* or *l33t* (evil.. beware those).
+People who smile alot and have good vocabulary are generally the nicest people. ( :D, =D, =), >:), >=D, :P, :), ;), ;D, >:(, ¦), 8), ;>, :>, :<, xD, XD, :C, etc. )
-People ask you to leave politly and directly, ex:*Could you leave please?*. joke they cant do that. They ask indirectly trough host, ex: KICK KICK KICK *name* *name* *name* *name* *name*.
-People spam names when games start. LonePaceLonePaceLonePaceLonePaceLonePaceLonePaceLonePace. Give me 1 seconds to rdy~ you annoying kid.
-I see so much girl avatar low level with items they couldnt affort. Girl noob account trend!
-Trend of: i dont play for fun, I play for cash. If its fair I win less cash. :/
Yes yes.. most of those things all get on my nerves.. That is gb stupid trends.
QuoteWhat is this tree. co.
say tree co. out loud and you will know...
if your too lazy its trico. :D
Oic, that really needs explaining.
Have u ever notice that Ice Tag cant be seen anymore? I really missed Ice tag.
QuoteDont ever disrespect Asians, we started the game ur playing now, so dont even criticize us, because u should be gratful for being able to play this game for free. So chill....
I'm terribly sorry. I shall go around thanking every Asian I see for their part in bringing the wonderful game of Gunbound to us.
By the way, I am Asian. I don't care in the least that I am. You/your parents were born on a massive continent which half the world's population comes from, so what? I feel no patriotism whatsoever, and I sure as hell would never join an "AzNrIcE" or whatever guild.
Another trend: Chicks using Boomer that turn out to be undercover wands.
QuoteHave u ever notice that Ice Tag cant be seen anymore? I really missed Ice tag.
Ice tag is gone since softnyx made it a bannable offense...
Another trend: people leaving the game to avoid getting dked. its so annoying when you are about to get a dk, and one of the people leaves so you cannot kill both of them. its not like it hurts them any to get dked... they just dont want you to get a dk.
I know it's banned. But how do they detect ice tag? We could simply replace ice with turtle and with ice as tag partner.
I don't think they could really detect it, or they could if they bothered to but they don't. As far as they know it's just another 1v1 game with players who don't miss each other much :P
I suspect if they wanted to, they could write scripts to detect a lot of things -
If team B always skips turn, or has negative GP, team A could be detected as a botter.
If a room has only heals allowed then it might be something they can look at as an ice-tagging-type game.
If someone loses 10 or 20 games in a row it could detect that and they could check the chat text to see if it's one of those fixed games, i.e. 20 wins for gold hammer etc.
What I really wish softnyx would fix instead of the botting/tagging/trading ... is the small things that keep games from being fun or that prevent them from starting. Disable teamswitching if a team is already full, or make it so that the key can invite specific people only. Autokick people who refuse to ready without the key losing any of his 5 kicks. Allow someone to close the room with a simple command so that you don't have to play the kick-really-fast-and-click game... i.e.
/close PlayerA PlayerB ... kicks those 2 and simultaneously closes room down a level.
This stuff would be sooooo awesome, a LOT of my time on gunbound is wasted in the ready room instead of playing, and I hate it.
PS: ok that was all offtopic. I'll add some other trends I've noticed:
-People using my terms or formulas! yay! Of course I notice this much more than anyone else would so maybe it's not really a trend yet. The other day someone said 'fork shot', and someone I played with today used 2.25 boomer lobs.
-Low ranked player always always trying to add a dragon to their buddy list as soon as they see him, then they ignore everyone shouting 'rdy up' for 30 seconds, then they say in some language the dragon doesn't speak "add me, ______". Then after another 30 seconds of shouting they usually have to be kicked.
-Dragons/high ranked player selling accounts :o ... cbchui, xiaoxu13, vvvvvvv (someone told me did this months ago), kawikaze... etc

They really need to do something about it.
Sate weaknesses
Distance. It loses more than fifty damage. The lasers spread out more at a distance making it very difficult to hit with all three. In some cases quirks of elevation and ground shielding can cause all three lasers to miss. That's a wee bit more than fifty damage.
Put it in a hole. It's
relatively small angle and tracer shot will cause it to shoot itself or simply hit the dirt instead of you.
Sate has a more difficult time shooting to the right than to the left. It's kind of a minor weakness, but it can be exploited.
It has a pretty low defense and is weak against "hit" weapons.
Anything else I should be listing?

well, i heard it had something to do with heals and 3000 damage bonuses. they could detect that 3000 damage bonuses were occurring frequently in a 1 on 1 game, or something like that. i am not sure how accurate that information is though.
and, on a side note, whats a "fork shot" o_0
I guess you could say the most steadily increasing trend is the decrease of intelligence of players on GB. The first few were good, the ones who'd been around since kGB or close to the opening of GIS (like myself). After it got more publicity, more and more idiots joined and now we have the lovely community we have now.
Not to mention the Boomer has flip-flopped its role in GB. At one point, it was used by few, save the better GB players; and now every Joe, Schmoe, and Bob is using the damn thing.
harboralpha: Your weakness list is good, a minor correction: sate's got great angle range but it's placed very low on the mobile. That is why it's so easy to fuck his angle. Cake dual+ and I recently found armor dual+ with shot 2 first can leave him shotless.
Zim: besides the ones harbor listed, the weirdness of the tracer makes demands on the player's aim. For example shotgun from left to right directly into the mobile at max power = 3 or all 4 lasers completely miss. Obviously someone who doesn't use tracers can shotgun with no problem. So you're forced to make nice lobs and place the shot carefully.
You also must memorize how the lasers spread shooting long range left to right and right to left... sure you CAN get 200, but can 90% of the sates out there know that you need to place the tracer almost an inch in front of the enemy when shooting left? And besides having the knowledge, have the skill to put it there?
One more weakness, it's easy to hide behind dirt. If the sate's shooting more than half a screen and you're butted up close to a wall of dirt, the dirt blocks most of the lasers no matter now perfectly he plants the tracer. Someone like armor doesn't have that problem, he can hit directly. In more rare situations like on stardust, you can hide directly under dirt and block most of the incoming lasers.
Zyad: fork shot is the term I came up for turtle's close range melee shot 2 trick, which you might know as the impossible shotgun from ramza's guide or by some other name. Done correctly the shot 2 first snakes out to hit low, then the 2nd part 'forks' and curls into the enemy's back.
Jedi: werd :/ ...I didn't get to see gunbound when it was free of idiots, but I've seen the same thing happen to other games that have steadily grown in popularity (for example the virtua fighter series... there used to be like 5 usa fans on the internet and they'd drive hundreds of miles to play each other... now it's popular and the internet forums are clogged with junk).
I wish there were some age/maturity test in gunbound. Or like a script that detected spamming and banned people who spewed childish insults all day...
