Request, expand or restructure the GameGuide tab

On the main AeriaGamers GunZ site
While teaching in game is nice, there is no way you can be everywhere at once and teach everyone who wants to learn. Even with several people in the game trying to teach, it still doesnt really cut it. The old ijji forums had a Wiki and I can see there's another one starting up here but thats not enough either.

I highly suggest AeriaGames to do what MAIET used to with K-GunZ, in that they had Styles listed on the main page with all of the techniques in plain sight for anyone who wanted it. Sooner or later people are going to want to learn Styles (unless they are dead-set on not using them like oldschool E-Stylers). Now a days everyone points people to YouTube for learning, and that works to a degree but having the information on the main site (not an outside wiki on the forums) would be the best way to go.

The problem has always been what's listed under the Controls tab as "Advanced Moves" is not even considered beginner level to GunZ players. GunZ is a deep game thanks to all of the exploited glitches, and the community has slowly been evolving in skills since the beginning. There's such a gigantic gap between the evolution of skills that what was considered advanced then is now considered basic fundamentals. New players trying to jump into GunZ will find the difficulty curve extremely-hard or may think people are hacking when they are using glitches. There is a very large amount of glitches to master in GunZ, it can be daunting when you see them all in a list, however they can be broken into levels of difficulty so people aren't overwhelmed. More importantly though, is that the players know the glitches exist and aren't left in the dark to how to perform them.

Yeah it's kind of funny to me after all these years to see how K-style still isn't fully accepted as part of the game. Every GunZ loading screen is proof of that. It's nice that I get reminded of how to wall hang before every room I enter, maybe they can replace those with K-Style tips, wouldn't that be nice? And the Aeria GunZ page should link to the ijji wiki or something. Aeria is really going to have to take an active role in spreading K-style awareness to new players, maybe all of their events for the first year can consist of classes where game sages teach all the glitches. Aeria is going to have their work cut out for them.

On another smaller-population game I played recently, they have members of the community specifically designated as Wiki contributors. It would be a good system to use for a GunZ wiki.

I agree.

They should add a tab for "K-Style" and "D-Style".

Then simply list the basics.
Butterfly (BF) Jump, Dash, Slash, Block
etc. etc.

I dare say it's not only a good idea it's a necessary thing to do, it's absolutely vital for new players to get an idea of what they are up against and what they can learn. Not doing so makes for people joining, being roflstomped by people skilled in k/d-style, get dissapointed and leave.

It would help so, so immensly to get the game to grow if it is easily accessible and in plain view for newbies.

I've been asking for it years on end from ijji and it's been falling on deaf ears, it's vital for the games survival (Along with people making an effort to be nice and help newbies), as the majority of new players are turned off by having no idea what's happening and instantly quits.

K-gunz has it don't they?

...Also please stop with the M-style **** already, it's not funny anymore, never was.
