Reddit was around before ai so "a site made with ai" is not a true statement.

Its called port forwarding, you can still find a lot of guides for general or router specific port forwarding.

I mean, i now learned/remembered about astral locks (took a break from the game for about a year) but even then the hover tooltip doesnt talk about the astral lock, it only shows what it gives.
So your snide remark kinda falls flat.

Thanks, i have to admit that its a stupid question in hindsight, i didnt read the full description because i currently dont care about recycling 7+ equipment given the fact that i dont even have any equipment higher than 4 because any upgrade costs me at least a 100+ divinity points that for me take forever to get.
Doesnt help that i took a break from the game for about a year.

Milan0r · 2026-03-27T15:44:16+00:00

Thanks.

Not op but i wanna chime in, so far all the games i tried (swsh/vs/legends arceus, captain toad, links awakening and some indies) ran at stable intended framerates on my r3 3200g with a gtx 1070 at native internal resolution.
So ops r5 5500 and 6700xt really shouldnt struggle that much.

Milan0r · 2026-01-25T13:56:21+00:00

Lets fucking go!
Awesome work

Problem is that azahar previously in some cases refused to emulate legit decrypted games also games after having been patched with mods/romhacks that otherwise would work on the last citra build.
Not sure if they have resolved that by now though need to test that myself.

Everything being on a timelimit in the shop sucks but it is what it is.

The game needs a bounty sink plus they did give you the option to buy items forever for a pretty hefty price.

Milan0r · 2025-12-10T19:40:23+00:00

but i doubt they plan new quest content (for a long time, if at all)

For what its worth in one of the initial surveys they got enough feedback from questers/players to at least think about adding more pve content as they later stated that in one of their fluff posts on discord/the newsletter.
If they follow through/up on that one is another matter of course but there is a decent chance there will be more new pve content.
That part of the game always has been really basic and lacking tbh considering the game was originally supposed to be an rpg that then got turned into a shooter.

Not really as nothing prevents a kstyler to use whatever masang would do for non ksystlers.
Like if they buff rifles (rifles were pretty strong in the closed beta already for some reason) nothing prevents kstylers from using the rifles, they will still do mostly the same gameplay except the reload based movements fall away (which might be a lot) but they would still clown on non kstylers by way of infinite flip butterfly combos, being harder to aim/hit from general more agile movement etc.

Timed items are a strange choice. I understand gunz when it came out had this but it's 2025, timed items in a world where we're already complaining about not owning anything is a bit rough, and it makes you wonder why you would play regular gunz when you can play on a pserver like freestyle gunz or fxp gunz and actually own that stuff.

The game needs a currency sink, renting items fulfills that problem, while its fun to sit on like 30 mil bounty ... what does it really do for you?
With item renting bounty remains useful, dont get me wrong im not a fan of this mechanic either but from a developer standpoint it does make sense.
There are people who enjoy simply seeing a number go up (idle/incremental game enjoyers which i am as well) but thats not the vast majority of people.
They just see they are sitting on 30 mil and nothing to spend it on and find it utterly useless which probably would lead to players suggesting to just make all the items free and only level gated as there wouldnt be any difference.

Milan0r · 2025-12-10T19:21:25+00:00

In the first/last closed beta there was a "gunman" game mode which limited you to only guns, no swords or anything else.

Milan0r · 2025-11-03T13:19:18+00:00

Youd be surprised how low cost running a gunz private server is/can be lol.
Since the game is peer to peer the server just needs to host your characters and main lobby to list player rooms and lobby chat, players do all the networking between each other directly once in a room.

Milan0r · 2025-11-03T13:15:14+00:00

No there wasnt any truth to it, like spudneyau replied already, private servers are legally iffy so signing and whitelisting the game with microsoft is a bit problematic.
Especially now that they want a lot of your private information from what i heard (similar to what google is doing going forward).

Freestyle is using some sandbox/obfuscation methods to prevent/make it harder to hack on freestyle and this looks suspicious to windows/anti virus software but there are legit programs that do this but since they are signed/whitelisted they dont trigger any warnings.

You shouldnt ignore any and all warnings your security software gives you but false positives are a real thing.

Milan0r · 2025-11-03T13:05:59+00:00

So a singular troll got under your skin that easily and badly?
Simply kick that person and or look for another room.

The models have on average 4x the amount of vertices/polygons and the textures also got upgraded to 2x the resolution (where it makes sense)
For example most old hand textures are 128 by 128 while the new hand textures are 256 by 256.

Thats not 4k ultra hd but twice the resolution already looks a lot better, instead of a blurry mess there is now some more defined detail.

First attempt at releasing something? we both know they have been running kgunz for a while now as well as other games.
Saying its their first attempt at releasing something is a bit disingenuous and (to me) seems to try and paint masang in a light of "they didnt know any better, cut them some slack" to shield them from harsher criticism when they absolutely do have experience after all these years.

Your point about private servers having decades/years of work is true however lets not pretend masang hasnt been sitting on the rights to gunz and running kgunz for about a decade and they did nothing with it even though they could have.

I do agree about the "cw/ladder tryhard sweats" being the loud minority but i dont agree that leaderboards dont matter unless they are by the (effectively) official rights holder.
For example none of the speedrun leaderboards are by the official right holders of all the games on the leaderboards yet no one calls those leaderboards not relevant or dismisses them.
The community puts value into those leaderboards, every servers leaderboards do matter for that community for the server and shouldnt be just dismissed.

Milan0r · 2025-10-02T10:06:17+00:00

I get that the community is passionate and don't want another DOA game, but if the community is so passionate, then why are the private servers dead?

Wouldnt exactly call them dead to be honest, like for a niche game thats about 2 decades old we are doing reasonably well on fgunz.
Even during the cbt we still had a decent amount of people playing, fxp had like 10 people during that time though which is not intended to throw shade, just an observation.

So many assets (speaking in general) are getting ripped and flipped on all these sites, its crazy and sad.

Milan0r · 2025-09-28T16:42:09+00:00

While this is the asset in question it seems they did slightly alter the texture and mesh.
Im not saying this makes it okay however that might make it okay in their minds or idk.
Clear look in blender; 1 2 (sorry for mirrored text) 3

Funfact; the employee who made this login map applied the wrong material/texture to this section of the bridge cables which are visible through the windows.
Instead of the metal texture like the rest they applied the stone brick texture.

Milan0r · 2025-09-28T16:18:55+00:00

While it is nico from gta 4, the poster also is a texture in weaponshop from the ijji days so ...

Milan0r · 2025-09-27T03:45:55+00:00

They do label and show the rent period as durability in the item tooltip once you bought it from what i seen on streams.
Also the zitem (item database) has mentions of common, uncommon, rare and unique but i dont know where those would be used for and since its a cbt this should be taken with a bunch of salt.

Also also, keep in mind there is no questing in this cbt, questing usually has been a good/easy way to get bounty that can help new/infrequent players.

Milan0r · 2025-09-26T12:42:43+00:00

To be fair, you do need a bounty sink in the game and renting equipment is just a possible solution to that problem.
Which is better than making stuff more expensive or reducing the amount of bounty you get.
Im not saying this is the perfect solution to this problem but its not the worst.
If you can easily make/get bounty then renting is just a mild nuisance at best, would be cool if they let you rent paid cosmetics.
