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.

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...)

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.  
Is this all scamming has come to?

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.
Extremely Toxic, but cool like plastic!
