Why buy characters

2ADL · February 2012

can anyone convince me to buy a character

why i don't buy em(three reasons)

1. they don't have any advantages
2.cant see them(only arms)
3. to expensive for a thing you cant see or have any advantages

Whats the reason you buy them(not including ribbons)

Because using a navy seal with a cowboy hat and flashguards makes you look more badass and less likely to get kicked then some omoh with the m4a1 only
Also there is a ribbon for navy and spop :P

I don't buy, I just watch, the star has a really good looking body. And to run after them is a joy

1. Ribbon for spop/navy
2. U don't look like some nooby.
3. Chars like UNSF/Navy make u look like a pro so ppl may be a bit scared to attack and in the end u own them.At least this is what happens to me most of the time,ppl see my unsf char,run away and try to kill someone else.

You don't want to look like everybody else.
You don't get SEAL ribbon unless you get M14EBR and SOCOM Handgun too.
Smaller female bodies are harder to see from distance.

I bought SEAL and I regret it because he is very fat in his blue dress and has a nasty KISS facepaint in tan dress.

Gr star and spop's color and hairdo stick out from quite a distance , its pretty easy to hs them as they cant really blend in

Their heads are also smaller.

GhostArch · February 2012

I had a suggestion for another smilegate game, to make difference between characters.

Female character, for example, is naturally smaller and less powerful, so just give them a smaller body box (or different shape, if feasible), but when they carry same amount of load, they run slower, which compensate the smaller body box advantage, also, they might experience larger recoil for the same weapon.

The two female characters can be made with a little difference in body size and the strength. Male character can also in the same fashion.

Each character should have a small difference in gun handling, some character should make them more stable in spray in crawl or running, which make them more suitable to choose different weapon. Others can be more stable with scope, in difference pose.

This will a character has more meaning inside.

zp can be paid to adjust the character properties -- adjust means increase one property while decrease other by same points.

So GSG9 should have more melee power? And hold the recoil ?

Fox is even sexier in underwear and fishnet stocking.

GhostArch · February 2012

Also I think it would be nice if we can determine the moving speed by the loading. For example, if I choose only equip with knife, I should run faster than those who have rifle but run with knife.

The idea is like this, each weapon has weight and movability. A long weapon should has less movability. The speed is determined by the character strength, weight of all the weapon he carried (not including the ones in the second bag) and what he carries.

A player can choose to equip main weapon, second weapon, melee or nades.

A character with armor should have a more based weight, to compensate the armor they have.

This is more realistic and make character more attractive to try.

A large amount of people who play online games care greatly about the way their character looks. Just look at TF2 for example.

It is z8's setting. Just an idea to distinguish the characters. Otherwise, if all are same, there is no need to try others.

In team fortress, each character has a speciality.

True. They spent millions accessorizing. You name it--radio, compass, hats, wings, glasses, etc.

Racism much?

OT: I own SPOP and Navy Seal for the ribbons. I never use them. I prefer just using my sasy. :P

Lazy_Genius · February 2012

GSG9 + blonde angel hair and you've got something truly remarkable

LOL can't wait. Unless they decided not too for religious reasons ;P

I get kicked less when I use a ZP character versus one of the GP ones.
Making the 8200 ZP spent instantly worth it.

Also I use SIA because the BL style looks nearly exactly like me XD.
The GR style looks nice too.

Doesn't matter that you don't see your character, what matters is that other players see it.

Also a slight psychological advantage:
People are less likely to shoot if they see the face of the opponent or the opponent looks different from what is common.

Meaning, the three most common Characters (Swat, SAS, OMOH) are killed with out anyone hesitating. But the ZP characters, especially the rarer ones, can cause hesitation on most players.

I get sometimes confused by SPOP GR and BL as they look similar. I had to look for their user name on their head.

I buy characters for fun, is boring to play with the same three characters always, it gives the game variety.

Also VATAV have you heard this:
Variety is the spice of life.

Its reason enough???

That is why I keep switching what weapon I use in GM.

AK47-Knife when I feel like stabbing ghost.
M4A1 Custom Crystal when I want to practice my pinpointing.
Gatling Gun to feel like a tank.
UZI for the laughs.
XM1014 for when I feel like showing no mercy.
DSR-1 for when I feel like having a challenge.

Use anything but the AK or M4 on me means good chance i'll kill you

BlackSonar · February 2012

Why would you use SIA? It's such a bad character... The only characters worth using/buying for the sake of them is the GSG9 and the Seal. Maybe the UNSF. Characters are just not worth it... SAS or OMOH or SWAT is fine. No reason to waste your ZP on them...
