MKZ will be a 32 Shooters Game

The development of MKZ is now in the final stage. Recently Object Software has invited player teams to visit their studio and revealed some information about the game. Most of the game data like player numbers and weapon properties has already been determined.

32 players shooting contests

As an FPS game, how many players a map can bear is an important factor. Now Object Software officially announces that the maximum players in one map is 32, which means there will be 16 vs16 battles in the game. Considering all the elements of the game, the MKZ development group found that in order to maximize the fun of strategic action and teamwork, 32 would be the optimal number.

The arsenal of MKZ

After thousands of adjustments to the weapon data, most of the properties and appearances are now set. Weight – This will affect player’s movement speed. Equipment display – All the equipment will be actually shown hanging on the player’s body. Realistic ballistic trajectory – Different guns certainly have different ballistic trajectory. Other factors like gravity and wind speed will also affect the trajectory in battles.

Patch 5023 To Change The Fair Trade System Released

We are pleased to announce that Patch 5023 has been released on May 7th, 2008.

Note: Before you install patch, please make sure that you have completely exited the client, or you will fail to update the client successfully.

Download link:
Patch 5023: ftp://69.59.179.232/enzf/5023.exe
Patch 5022-5023: ftp://69.59.179.232/enzf/5022-5023.exe

Highlights of Patch 5023

1. Because of the overwhelming player consensus that the "suspicious items" function is inconvenient, we have modified the function. Your item’s estimated value will be much lower in patch 5023, allowing you to trade items more easily.

Note: This function is meant to protect your valuable items and remind you to be cautious when trading. So, having more lenient restrictions, you must be careful when trading again.

2. Guards have been removed from Botjail. Because red/black named people attack guards and are killed, and then sent to PK jail. The price to exit PK Jail is much lower than that of Bot Jail. Then people could waive the punishment. Removing guards in Botjail will fix this abused bug, giving botters what they deserve.

Elf Online:Scholar Series Job Build

It’s no doubt that scholars help much in the normal game play of ELF Online (http://elf.happymmo.com). It seems to me that people have been asking on a consistent basis about the proper build for a scholar. Generally speaking, it really depends on what you will be choosing as the second job for you scholar. Currently, although I only have experience in buildiing the stats for a doctor, I will try to explain a short summary of the other 2 jobs as well: Poet and Alchemist.

First off, it is very important that each of the 3 jobs has enough Staminaina to meet the requirements for wearing dream, hero and legendary armor. You can easily check by going to the NPC in Dragon City that exchanges armor for gold powder and hover over the correct respective armor which for a scholar, should be leather. After meeting the Staminaina requirements, the builds start to branch off a bit.

Doctor

Since your main job will be designated as the healer vs. an attacker, it very important to have the correct balance of mp and hp. The AOE (area of effect) heals and single heals can start to become quite pricey at higher levels and therefore, a substantial amount of mp is needed. However, your most important job is to keep yourself from dying, therefore as important as MP can be, a higher level of HP can become crutcial. I have personally pumped 2 Wisdom, 3 Stamina or 1 Wisdom, 4 Stamina into my doctor in order to ensure that by lvl 60 my HP will be over 4000.

Poet

Your main focus will be to cast party buffs and act as an emergency, not primary healer. While I believe it is important to have a secondary healer, the poet will be using most of it’s store turn points in order to cast buffs to increase party attack, etc. I would personally go back to the old school build of alternating between 2 Wisdom, 3 Stamina and 3 Wisdom, 2 Stamina in order to keep a good balance of HP and MP.

Alchemist

Now here comes the tough decision. The role of an alchemist will play as a strong attacker, yet an emergency healer. Since the alchemist will primarily be attacking, I believe it is better to follow a Magician/Shaman/Hypnotist’s build of 3 Wisdom, 2 Stamina. It is really a hard decision on whether you would like to keep your HP high, or to forgo some HP in order to have enough MP to pull off all the attacks.

Final Notes

One thing to remember is that the builds I have mentioned above neither favor a pvp build nor a training build. I have tried to piece together what I have heard and it seems the conclusion was the balance that I have mentioned above. For example. if you would like your character to favor a pvp build, certainly pump more HP than MP.

Another common question was : What exactly does luck do?
In ELF Online (http://elf.happymmo.com), Luck will decreases monster’s enmity towards the character, so it will decrese the possiblity of being attacked. It might not be a bad idea to pump in some luck towards a PURE training doctor, but certainly never towards a pvp doctor.

Omerta – the worlds largest gangster themed MMORPG hits version 2.8!

Omerta is arguably one of the most successful browser based games ever created, boasting an incredibly active user base fighting it out to become The Don of Dons.

Plunged into the dangerous mafia-ridden 1930’s, your quest for Godfather like status will see you earning respect and money through crimes and bribery.

Playing Omerta isn’t just about the browser based experience. You’ll need great diplomatic skills and plenty of savvy if you’re going to be a successful gangster.

You need to make friends fast to survive the mean Mafia streets of Omerta, and the community via the IRC chat client is the place to do this. In here the wannabe gangsters become the characters they are depicting in the game, making friends, arranging business, alliances and war with one another.

Player’s that have a family, in true Mafioso style, enjoy protection benefits and a cut of the cash from all the crimes they do. The eventual aim is to own and run a family in your chosen city, operating local banks, factories and even casinos.

With the hit-game resetting to version 2.8, its biggest feature-packed reset to date, there has never been a better time to don your suit, pick up your Tommy Gun and dive head first into the world of Omerta.

Make your mark now.
