Re: Dead Frontier.

Wait... Multiplayer has bots? Raptor I think you should try this game again. Multiplayer, as far as I know, doesn't have any bots. You enter a lobby with other players and you play online with other players... Don't you?

Re: Dead Frontier.

Alright, since I'm planning on having a computer within the month (hopefully... we'll see how lazy my step-dad is), and I'm looking for games to play with people I know, I guess I'll ask a few things.

1) How many characters are you allowed to have on one account? I was thinking of making 3-4 accounts, and each would have the professions from a single class - Production, Service, Stat Boost, possibly Role-Playing. Of course, if it's one character per account, I may make more than 3-4, but I won't be doing ALL the professions.
EDIT: Then again, if you can make multiple characters per account, I could still just make 3 accounts: 1 would have an RP char and a SB char, then the other 2 would have all professions from the Prod and Serv classes...

2) What is the GM account? I take it it's their way of making money?

3) What's the difference between MP and SP, besides the obvious lack of human allies? Is it that you have a different char for offline than you do for online?

Re: Dead Frontier.

Eh, I've only been playing for a couple of days, but I'll give it a shot.

1.) As far as I can tell, you have one account to one character. A unique email address is required for each account. You are allowed to trade between accounts.

2.) I believe so, yes. As in KoL, if you donate a certain amount you get certain perks for that account. In this case, it seems to be a constant 25% XP boost, 'improved' looting chances (from the forums, it appears to be improved chances of finding/finding greater amounts of ammo and cash), discounts in the 'credits' shop and 200 credits. Credits are the currency you get in exchange for actual money.

3.) I believe MP uses a lobby system, and the same character can switch between SP and MP as much as they want. When you leave the 'outpost' or hub/main section of the website for the combat areas, you choose MP or SP.

Re: Dead Frontier.

1) Only one per account. I really think what they should do is allow several characters per account and disable multiple account creations. Also, I made all 3 of my accounts under the same email address and I even read the email address doesn't even have to be real.

2) The usual stuff, it's how they make moneys. Gold Members get very nice bonuses though. Most GMs are high leveled or spoiled kids who had their parents get it for them.

3) Nothing, really. Single player is usually better for looting since there aren't any other people around to cause aggro. And of course, if you want aggro, multi is probably the best bet, especially if you specialize in low aggro weapons, like melee or rifles. Or both. Like me. D:


Also, DARK YOU KNOW I FIRST USED OBELISKOS BUT DECIDED TO START OVER BECAUSE HE WAS A POLICE OFFICER.

Re: Dead Frontier.

1) Well that sucks >.< . Then again, I can understand why, though I'd still argue that they should at least allow 2 characters per account.
Guess I'll make a few accounts, then :p . Probably Scientist, Doctor, 1 Stat Boost profession and 1 RP profession.

2) Heh, I figured as much.

3) So, would you compare the difference between SP and MP in this game to the difference between SP and MP in Castle Crashers?

Re: Dead Frontier.

I should also note that you can only make one account per 24 hours. And sorry, I haven't had the pleasure of playing Castle Crashers yet. D:

Also, I decided to go into the Junkyard during the outpost attack at critical health and broken armor. Somebody spawned red longarms. I didn't last too long.

Re: Dead Frontier.

Removed incorrect information, ignore that.

Manipulation of the flash files so that your character moves at a greatly increased speed.

I just reloaded my character, went into an exp grind lobby, and I can still say that Multiplayer sync is still not in effect.

When you join a lobby, say it's a friend. The person you see on the screen who you identify as your friend will have every one of these things shown to you; their gender, their weapon that they're currently using, where they are (sort of, the bot tries to stay in the same relative location as where the player is), and if they're holding the attack button.

All of that, except for one important thing, the zombies they're attacking, which is proven by, when you join a multiplayer lobby, and meet up with people knee deep in aggro, you'll see them attacking what appears to you, as nothing. They'll act like idiots when fighting zombies, they never sprint, and the only people who seem to kill anything are the ones with guns.

Don't even take my word for it, just play around in multiplayer for a while, and you'll likely think, "Why are these melee guys so fucking retarded?" and you may, or may not come to the conclusion that, based on how similar each and every single melee user acts, and how some people are often seen shooting at nothing, that every player you see on your screen is controlled by AI. Or, at least controlled enough to make them useless to you.



3) So, would you compare the difference between SP and MP in this game to the difference between SP and MP in Castle Crashers?
Not at all. If your character is geared for combat, and you have five more of those kind of people with you, things only get easier, contrary to Castle Crashers, whos difficulty curves when more players are present.

Re: Dead Frontier.

I actually know what RJ is talking about with the multiplayer. I was on the phone with my friend who i got to start playing and he kept saying there were zombies in front of me yet there were no zombies there on my screen. There is a major malfunction with the game in the multiplayer mode. They have some fixes to make and i have sent a message to the makers about it already. But other people should also send messages about it and it should be fixed. Having a team with you that cant really do anything to help you except get hit just makes it pointless to be in multiplayer.

Re: Dead Frontier.

Agreed, multiplayer sync is pretty shit right now. It'll probably stay in the beta stages until that's fixed up.

Also, more people = more aggro = more difficulty. Yeah, at some point it breaks even and the skill outweighs the difficulty, but still.

Re: Dead Frontier.

At least when the aggro spikes hit you, you'll have more than yourself around. ;)

Re: Dead Frontier.

I'm sorry, but whenever I see 'rules', I can't help but wonder what the people were ACTUALLY thinking when they made them - for any game, really, but this game just happened to be in the wrong place at the right time >.<

You may not, on any part of this site:
- Swear excessively.
-- Well fuck.
- Post or direct people to pornographic or other extremely offensive material.
-- i.e., HOW THE FUCK DO YOU MAKE THE LEAP FROM ZOMBIES TO PORN? Fucking necrophiles...
- Make excessive personal, out of character insults to other human players.
-- You may only call them a douchebag if, in fact, they actually ARE a giant douchebag; you may only call them a mother-fucker if, indeed, they like the MILF; and so on.
- Log into an account other than your own.
-- Because, you know, we can do something about it... yeah...
- PvP against other characters that you own.
-- Again, yeah, we can do something about that... like, totally...
- Attempt to cheat, hack, exploit bugs or otherwise gain an unfair advantage.
-- We put as much care into this as we do our multi-player synch!
- Use bots or macro programs.
-- Third time, like, we can totally tell... that, and we would never rely on whiny players who can't tell the difference between skill and a bot...
- Attempt to buy or sell in-game items/accounts/money for anything outside of the game. The only legal way to do this is via the Official Dead Frontier Shop.
-- There are plenty of illegal ways, and there's really nothing we can do to stop you, but we're required to say this by law.
- Deliberately impersonate another player by creating an account with a visually similar account name.
-- Yanno, because that's obviously what you're doing, and it's not because you feel you had that name first, and don't want to give it up/you forgot your account and had to make a new one, and wanted to let people know it is, in fact, you.

WARNING: Dead Frontier Online uses a number of sophisticated anti-cheating techniques. If the system detects cheating you will be banned instantly, without warning.
-- Yeah, we're too lazy to double check this system, so if you get banned, it's obviously because you were cheating, with no failure on the system's part what-so-ever...

Game Staff
Moderators and other members of staff are to be respected at all times. Out of character insults directed to them will be treated more harshly than they would be if directed at a normal player. You are not allowed to question their authority, or their decisions at any time.
-- We are gods in this game, and intend to get back at our childhood bullies by bullying you lot.

Ownership
Please be aware that all accounts and everything contained within them are the sole property of Neil Yates. Jagged Blade Software reserves the right to suspend, delete, or otherwise refuse entry to any account at any time, for any reason.
-- Because we are gods here.

Changes
Jagged Blade Software reserves the right to update these rules at anytime, without notice. By continuing to play the game after the rules have changed, you are effectively agreeing to the new set of rules. It is your responsibility to check these rules frequently for any updates. If at any time you do not agree with the rules stated above, you should immediately delete all your accounts and refrain from playing the game any further.
-- We won't tell you when we update, so if you get banned because of an update that states you're not allowed to play this on the third tuesday of every month 'lest you wear a blue tie on your character within 5 seconds of logging in, it's all your fault.

Re: Dead Frontier.

Neil doesn't want people cheating, lest they simply cheat rather than pay him with those beautiful green slips of paper. And he ended up making his, "anti-cheat" system so uptight, that it tends to ban people who aren't cheating.

I swear, he spends more time into that anti-cheat system than anything else. (See; Multiplayer sync, or rather, the lack thereof, for more information.)
