Gunbound Mining Boy Event!

[GM_Belegnir]

Just wanted to get everyone's thoughts on the current event that's going on. What do you think? Do you like or dislike the event? Why do you feel this way?

Curious minds want to know!

[dimbulb]

how come my score is over a million and i could only get the background?
is it really suppose to be how much money you have or how much score you have?

[dimbulb]

i think this event is glitched.
when i tried to play mining boy again everything is blank.
saving does not work.
need to be fixed.

[HiddenRoar]

Took two days to get 2 Million but I redeemed them all.

It's so-so. I enjoyed making mazes but it's annoying to go back up for air (Until you get the better helmets XD)

[Driogon]

Same here I got it yesterday, It was really annoying. I really didn't enjoy the game because getting 2,000,000 points is very tedious work. It's just repetitive and you can't even get to level 2 unless you find a special mineral, even after you have beat the boss. Most of the time you're trying to find some minerals witch really don't give my any money unless you hit the bottom of the level and throughout the whole game, I could only afford the 2 worst set of the helmet, boots and drill.

I like dig-dug, but this is ridiculous.

[Matt_33]

Only thing I don't like is the boy and girl avatar sets, they look great but I feel they should have had a more distinct difference between the two.

hmm only sometimes.

i honestly think the prizes are kinda lame (no offence). The prizes should better, along with the chances to get some gold.

I remenber my first time playing this game 5 years ago, and i loved it. It's kinda repetitive though and i soon lost intrest in it and went for gunstrike. Gunstrike was soon taken out because too many pple complained that it had no updates and VERY few players (400 pple max). Then i went for gunz. Well back on topic:

I honestly think that gunbound can be improved. All the prizes and things have been nerfed A LOT. I don't noe if anyone remenbers this event 4 years ago but i'll type it out. The prizes were GODLY. All u needed to do is find 5 differences in each picture (total of 5 pictures). It took some time to spot them but they were easy. The reward for completeing stage 5/5 was getting 200k gold and poweruser for 1 week.

Now the prizes seem to have been nerfed. The drawing event takes more time to do and the 1st place only get 40k gold. That doesn't seem like a lot to me since i can earn 40k in 2 hours.

There should be more events such as drawing a map, mobile, or avatars. This will attract a lot of attention, making inactive pple active again or attracting new players. The prizes doesn't have to be GODLY such as winning a 24' screen like in the GunZ trailer contest for 1st place. Maybe earning 200k gold or 50 coins?

Anyways since 4 years ago the game Gunbound seems to be getting less and less players. Things that should be considered to be fixed:

1. The servers are quite unfair, even in an afternoon in PST the most pple in gunbound in server 4/6 is 200 players. The rest are in avatar off. I find this unfair since the only way to really enjoy the game is to make a new account every few days so u can play in server 1. What can be done? There could be stricter rank requirements or a system that places users based on total gold earned. This way no one would consider it unfair. I think that there should also be rank requirements purchasing specific g coin avatars. Think about it, what if some1 purchased the seon nyo set + blue pheniox and had skies and they were only a chick rank. It would be VERY unfair to other players as a shot 2 of any mobile can hit around 500 without a decent amount of defense.

2. There are quite a number of aimbotters out there. I am depressed when 30/50 games I play everyday I see some1 dualing and using some sort of item 2 on their first turn and hitting an opponent exactly when the wind is not 0. I doubt that some1 can hit exactly all the time. Some pple will just say leave the game then. Well when there’s only about 100 pple in server 6 it’s hard to find another game. What can be done? Not much actually. Finding a way to prevent these hacks takes time and effort. There should be some sort of list where if 50 pple agrees that some1 is aimbotting, the user will be banned temporarily. The pple who report will need to have gp over a certain amount.

3. There should be a limit for how many item 2's u can use a game. Such as only using 3 item 2's max when u 1vs 1 and using 6 item 2's max when u 3 vs 3. I find it some how unfair when some1 damage up/vampire every shot, or using bigfoot shot 2 and using homing missiles every shot, or when they keep using their jet packs so they can't be hit from some mobiles.

Some advice that i think will benefit Gunbound:

1. There should be some kind of a mission mode rather then just PvP action all the time. There could be some kind of mission where u have to rescue some1 that been taken hostage by a wild mammoth. The “boss” (Wild mammoth) should have a decent amount of hp, such as 20,000. The hostage person could have about 1,000 hp. U can finish the game by surrendering, killing the boss, or accidentally killing the hostage. The prizes could be something such as 5k gold and 50 gp, and being entered in a raffle to win a rare avatar for each person that did the mission.

2. (This idea was heard from another thread.) There could be special effects for certain maps. Such as losing 50% of ur movement and getting -05 def every 5 turns when u play the map Miramo or having meteors crash down on the map every 5 turns when u play the map Nirvana. This will make the game a lot more interesting and fun for a lot of players.

Well that's all my thoughts for today and i hope u would consider doing something about Gunbound so it'll be a funner game for every1.

A few comments on this:
1. I don't think that playing avatar on is any fun because of the fact that anyone can buy good avatars and have an unfair advantage over people. On top of that, your solution of having a stricter rank limitation is absurd considering people are already pretty thinly spread throughout the servers. If you limit the rank more, it would be ridiculous

2. I like the single player idea. That would be really enjoyable for gb.

3. You definitely overexaggerated the aimbot thing. I haven't found that many aimbot users. I'd actually say they are maybe playing 1/150 in the games i've played. I have heard that there are a lot of aimbots in avatar on though. That's why I don't bother playing avatar on.

4. Somehow, I feel like this is posted in the wrong thread. This is a miner boy event thread.

5. My comments on the miner boy game: I don't know why but it won't save my score. I've tried playing miner boy on 3 different internet browsers (Iexplorer, Firefox, and Opera) and it just won't save my score. The game works fine (except on firefox) and I have savegames with pretty high scores, but I can't redeem any prizes. Any ideas?

Yes, i realize that this is posted in the wrong thread, it just seems to me that GM's don't usually reply to any threads unless it's their own.

Hmmm i don't think u quite get wat i'm saying about the ranks. My idea is that there should be about 10 servers. The servers will be based on how much gold u have earned. U can always join a server that's a higher rank then u but u can't join a rank server that's lower than u. Say for

Exmaple: Server 1: Pple who have earned 0k-200k in all. Some1 could have 1 gold left but
have limitless golden hammar and angel of death hat could stay in this server because the total gold earned is under 200k. Server 2 could be something like 200k-400k and so on.

There wouln't be any need for an avatar on and off if the servers is based on total gold earned. G coin items should have a certain rank requirement to equip (stated last post) so it would be completely fair.

Some1 in server 1 can spend his/her gold focusing def and hp while another focuses on atk and dig.



Hmmmm i rarely go on avatar off because i find that avatars there are mainly based on looks and popularity, instead of wat their true purpose is, to give certain stats.

Well welcome to the forums =)

yes i understand your server point, but what i'm saying is lets say you have 600 people playing gb at any given time. and there are 6 servers. you'd have on average 100 people a server. that's not a lot...now if you stretched that out to 10 servers, you'd have 60 people a server. in other words, you wouldn't get enough games in. In addition, having that gold option would really screw some people over...like me for example. i have at least 2 million gold worth of avatars, simply because i liked the way some of them looked. I have the panda suit simply because my name is pandamoose and so forth, but the panda suit isn't really worth the stats. it's just cute. so i'd be forced to play in higher level rooms. Now personally, I wouldn't complain cuz i'm not too bad of a player, but I have a feeling that more higher level players use aimbot, and i know that other people would complain.

[The ice man]

Its cool but it should have more gameplay involving gunbound and mining boy together like playing meta mine and playing mining boy on different days for the different games.

Hmmmmm even when i sign on at 2:30 am PST, their are always at least 1,400 pple on. Yes that would be a problem since many pple focus on looks on avatar off servers. I guess their not much to do then.

[dimbulb]

when's the GMs going to fix this?

[SophT]

So I earned all the mining boy avatars after wasting so much time on that infinitely boring dig-dug ripoff. And all I have to say is WEAK!

Come on, the background is ugly, the flag and glasses items have 0 stats and the head/body have attk+ stats?

I really thought before I looked at the event screen that it would have bunge+ stats? I mean it's a guy with a drill that digs holes for crying out loud! Bunge!

I could have just played GB for 8 hours instead and not had my C-rank slip 3 or 4 spots...

:grrr:

[ketpuch]

I want to get all the items.

lolz, not rly their fault, i usually don't participate in event anymore since mostly all of them are crap now and not like wat it use to be

[P0K3M0N]

I got everything in the mining boy event.

[sophisticate]

This mining boy event was much better than I expected. At the beginning, I didn't even take note of the mining boy event date. After the event, though, I was glad it happened. I especially like the Hazimon glasses and the Draenor foreground. Those were really cool. This event was even better than Stamp Event 2, which came as a surprise to me. My only qualm was that we have to accumulate 2 million points to get all the prizes. It doesn't even take 1.2 million points to win the game!!! :lolz:

Mining Boy was a decent game. I liked it but I didn't like how it progressed me to the third level despite the fact that I didn't have the proper drill or money to pass the 3rd level. Oh wellz, though.

[iReckon]

This Mining Boy Event Sucked!!!!!

[severedc]

I've already "redeemed" points for the first 2 prizes, but I haven't gotten them in Gunbound. What's up with that?

[sophisticate]

I think you should contact the GMs. But first, make sure you clicked the redeem button.

[severedc]

I think you should contact the GMs. But first, make sure you clicked the redeem button.

Nevermind, I'm dumb.

[Hidan n Kakuzu]

Miner Boy wasted my life =[

[DanKnee]

Yeah, I definitely clicked the redeem buttons, when I click them now it says they've already been redeemed, but, well, I haven't gotten them.
How do you contact a GM? There's no support button or anyting on the site, game or forums.
The First Two Are Backgrounds >.>

[TheLeg3nds]

good point^

they'll be in the EX item section of your avatar shop.

[KalsidonIsaGimmick]

I finally redeemed all the rewards, but let me express myself a bit about this event.

Mining Boy is riddled with Bugs. At least THREE TIMES I accrued 400-500k in points, all for nothing because YOUR SERVERS ARE SH*T, and would crash when beating a level or when attempting to save the game. The damn thing would simply lock up when the *PLEASE WAIT* load screen appears. Of course if the connection is lost somehow we don't get credit for the points (REAL-TIME my sour creame-colored azz).

In order to get the 2million I had to dig out the entire level's lower levels , ignoring ore and monsters, and purposely kill myself in order to safely take the points. BORING and BROKEN, MINING BOY IS POOP!
Let me design a freaking flash game-Mining boy is F$%^&ng lame and a huge waste of life

[HiddenRoar]

I only had one problem with Mining Boy and that was because my internet died when I was going to the second level. I found nothing wrong with the game other than that.

[the87flash]

yea umm.... this game is not letting me redeem the ava... i got over the 2 million points and it says i didnt get enought pooints???? man the only reason i played this game was to get the ava! and now when i get the 2 mil to get it, it says i dont have enought points AHHH!!! it took my almost 3 days to get te 2 mil so i just want the ava that i won... that was the event to get the points to get the ava... and i got enough point to get all of it. so i would just like to receive it :-) im not trying to be a jerk or ne thing. but it too me a while to get those points... and if u were working to get something thing and u did all the work... and didnt get it wouldnt u be upset too??

well thank you for ur time :-)

[metigue]

you have to score 2mil accumatively over all your plays and quits, you have to quit/lose the game to send your scores, took me bout an hour to get the whole set, its over now anyways.

[vinz]

O_O... lol when i played everything was fine till the last day . i got all my points and iw as like 60 k away from the set and so i played thinking that i would get 60 k ezily and which i did and the score didn't added up i was like wdf... so i waited for a day and still nothing and so ya... not such a good mni game . +D

[newbjeremy]

that minigame is quite addicting i must say O.o
