Gets a 7 day Katana...
Everyone RQ's from GM for 7 days
Bring it on.
Katana ghost are usually the easiest ghost to beat, as long as your team doesn't spray everywhere like idiots you shouldn't have any trouble with them.
Their running/B hop speed is the slowest so you can out run them, the attacks take a long time to finish, and the primary is as week as a knife primary but melees slower. Sure the secondary is one hit everywhere, but if they miss they got 2 whole seconds of can't attack so you can beat them with out fear of a counter.
If your losing to a katana ghost, you are either unskilled or the ghost is very skilled.BullishRAWRS wrote: »The Katana sucks in melee only matches, I could use a knife and kill a katana user 10 times.
The katana is only good for Ghost Mode.
If this is the event tho make up for the GM gun bug, it's completely backwards. It was the GR team that suffered, not the BL! IMO, the reward should be a silenced M4A1 Adv 7 days for players, and an extra rifle mag.
Another thing, 4 hours over 2 days is too long. 1 hour would be sensible, 2 hours max.
In conclusion, this event is ill-thought-out.
Have to agree with this. A melee weapon only benefits BL! The side that was abusing the glitch! This is like rewarding THE CHEATERS FOR CHEATING. The event is supposed to be a for GR because they were the ones that were effected negatively.
First Z8 refuses to ban those reported for ABUSING THE GLITCH and now Z8 is rewarding the side THAT HAD THE GLITCH! It like Z8 is encouraging all the cheating in their game... -

I was putting myself as BL.
But yea of course, it's easy enough to be GR and know what to do hehe. -

Would a 7 day mp5-adv make you feel better? -

i just wanted to say this weapon is shiit and nobody want it did u read what all writed here ?
ok maybe its good for gm i tried it too in gm its good for that but who want a knife wich is only good for one mode ? -

Yes, It gives the free players access to a Silenced weapon.
This would make the Pro PPers happy because they'll be less loud guns being sprayed, it make the F2P players happy because it a free ZP gun to try, and it make the legit players that apposed the glitch abuse happy because GR is being rewarded and BL gets nothing. -

I doubt that most of these spraying noobs actually get to play 4 hours of GM within 2 days..Yes, It gives the free players access to a Silenced weapon.

Anyhow, I get your point and I can totally understand you, but at least they're trying to compensate for the bug.. -

The point isn't the reward, it the message behind it.
When another Game-Breaking bug comes (Not IF but WHEN), what do you suppose would happen? When this bug it, the players with no sense of sportsmanship or rule following abused it heavily even tho Z8s ToS clearly stated abusing a glitch/bug will be punished.
After the bug is fixed, Z8 announces that they will not punish the glitch/bug abusers at all. Completely ignoring their own rules. Now Z8 is giving a reward to that is only useful to the side that had the glitch/bug. This is not an apology to the GR side that was negatively affected by the abusers, but a reward for the abusers for abusing the glitch/bug.
So to answer my question.
Z8 is sending a STRONG message that abusing a glitch/bug for ones own gain in their game is not just acceptable BUT ENCOURAGED. The people that refused to abuse this glitch, will abuse the next one as well. -
I doubt that's what they wanted.So to answer my question.

If I was one of them I wouldn't even have thought that far, that it could lead to people being mad because the wrong side gets the reward..
Considering they had to come up with this event in a short time they probably just didn't think about it.. -

We fixed the bug. Created new internal policies for dealing with and properly punishing bug abusers in the future. We then issued a small, but appropriate punishment for this current bug.
http://forum.z8games.com/showthread.php?t=226531
Then essentially explained everything that happened over the course of those days and said that the problems were our fault.
We then created an event involving Ghost Mode, using stats which are right along the games average (2 hours a day for most players). And are giving away a ZP prize that has the most association with Ghost Mode. A melee weapon.
In addition to this, we've mentioned in the original post that there is an EXP event coming, and more events for Halloween. To ensure everyone that despite any particular problems we are not stopping to find ways to reward our players with free items and incentives for playing. -

They announced a GM event to make up for the glitch abuse nearly a week ago, plenty of time to think about it. I also doubt Z8 would intentionally encourage cheating in their game, but their actions are sending messages to cheaters that Z8 doesn't care if they cheat. -

I'd still switch it too a Silenced gun instead. It was the GR that were effected. Melee weapons are not very useful for GR.
I've read the punishment post. A temp suspension with out loss of Honor Ribbon isn't really a punishment. Just a time out. The ribbon still should of been removed because those players intentionally abused the glitch, and glitch abuse is bannable offense according to your rules we all signed when we made accounts. -

Waste? Waste, really? Why do you play this game then? If it's a waste of time, you shouldn't be playing it. I really enjoy these free zp items/ribbon for time spent playing events, not because I can't buy zp, but because it shows a little bit of.. "caring" about the community. They are paying you to play their game, and 4 hours of the game itself for 168 hours of an item, or if you only play 4 hours a day, that's still 28 hours of the weapon, which is wayyy more than you put in. Oh, and there is no perm katana except the people who were in OL. Seems like they are trying to avoid affecting people with perm melees to me... but whatever.
