I tried making an account to play this game through the link in the OP and when I log in it's telling me the username/password I just set don't exist, and it's not sending emails to my email address, and the email address is correct according to password reset confirmation messages, which also aren't showing up. Is the registration server making GBS threads itself or is this a regular thing?

Hey Reiley. Hate to just throw a link at you, but try skimming through the OP of this thread on the official forums.

http://blacklight-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=347141

The problems you're having are fairly common, so hopefully one of the possible solutions in the thread will work for you.

The problem seems to have sorted itself out, thank you though. I like that this game has an Idiot Detector button, that's neat. Also how do you go about countering a hard suit? A rocket launcher didn't stop them and when ever someone got one that was about it.

Hey so I like running really fast even if that means not having a lot of health, having something like 80% of ideal health with the option to just disappear from an encounter is appealing to me. So far I like the AR built for damage and a scoped revolver for range. I also really like shotguns. Would it be viable to build a rifle for range and "main" a pump-action shotgun as a fast low-health GitS man or does that sort of thing not really work when you leave the proving grounds? I have also been thinking about cloaks, optical decoys and HRV decoys- it seems like the HRV ones are more useful. Are these all things that have a place in the later game or is it all tanky health and riot shields?

A cool pal bought me the CQC pack so I have the neato armor that looks like a track suit.

Hey sometimes people make voice commands with in-game speech, like not the mic but their agent saying things. Is that automatic or is there ways to give voice comms to teammates?

So if I leave Blacklight running overnight I'll get a free shotgun and AK receiver, right? I've been wanting a shotgun and if its free then I can do that.

How do you join this team? I'm level 7ish but I like this game a bunch, do I have to wait for level 10?

To add to this, bear in mind you have to be online at the same time as one of the folks who can invite you to the GOON clan (which is dumb).

This is the most insane design choice I've ever seen.

I stopped playing this game for a few days to focus on non-videogame things and I come back and all my gun parts are gone. Really feeling the sting of this 7-day rental minimum right now, I don't want to waste my meager GP on stuff I'll find out I don't like within an hour and I sure as hell won't drop real money on a one-day rental Jesus Christ.

What level does the holoscope unlock at? I'm saving my GP to basically perm that one immediately because it seems like the best open sight in the game.

e: Also SwitchbladeKult I'm online and shot you an email, thank you again! Looking forward to GOON.

Sever maintenance soon. I'll try to make it in time. No promises. Let's hope this brings the three day rentals.

Edit:

:woop:

I sent the clan invite. Not sure if you got it before the servers went down.

I got knocked offline before I could see it.

Also, I figured out a way to hit 10.00 run speed and I have a machete and it is my new favorite thing in the world. :allears:

I haven't had a chance to play with either. I'm level 9 as of today and Xenaero very generously hooked me up with a CQC pack which is how I hit 10.00 to begin with. I'm excited to try out the other melee weapons. (I also want to try the goddamn shotgun as soon as possible!!)

If you want to run fast and hip-fire people, the shotgun will be your best friend. There's nothing quite like someone getting the jump on you, and just turning around and blowing their head up with a well-placed blast.

I have a tricked-out runspeed SMG and having this exact thing to go with my melee would be a dream come true. I'm going to leave this game running overnight just to get that perm shotgun. I hope it works.

Oh my God I am so giddy right now. I was playing around going 100% melee kills with a machete, which apparently makes dudes rage in ways I've literally never seen in an FPS, and the game said I unlocked a Martial Artist challenge. I didn't think much of it, like wow cool another data node or whatever. No, apparently the game gave me a free 7-day katana and I tried the katana and holy poo poo this katana. Holy poo poo. I don't want guns anymore. I only want Hanzo steel.

e: Holy poo poo the speed boost you get for using it. This is the greatest item in the game
e2: God dammit, you need to be level 39 to perm a Katana with GP. I don't want this thing to go away, I want to play with it forever.... :(

Last night about eight of us got into a DOM Metro game. The map became a field of discarded katanas. We did not rest until everyone in the game had a katana. :getin:

Are you high enough level to perm the M4X with GP and also have enough ZEN laying around to do a trade? If so we can make arrangements to do a swap. I buy you a katana with GP and you buy me a M4X with your GP.

Edit: Check out these ridiculous scores!



I am level 10 and I don't have any Zen, though its tempting to throw a Steam purchase worth of money this game's way. I ave a pile of GP though, but it seems like you'd need Zen to trade it (which has cash grab written all over it). I still have a week to play with this freebie katana though, we can work something out.

This one dude named Fawn kept getting upset with me, calling me a "noob" for doing melee only and asked me to leave the server. No one has ever asked me to leave a server before, this is all new to me. He also informed me I was bad at the game. He and his friends ended up leaving the server themselves after the round ended:



I definitely think this game is worth a couple bucks. I kinda want that Sniper helmet that trades 10% armor for faster HRV recharge.

The only give away I remember going that fast was the Intel pack. Also, the Raptr stuff doesn't start today.

Elite Pack
Experienced Pack
Newbie Pack


Okay. Well, I'm 2k GP away from perming the M4X. I'll use this week to get up some GP to perm you a katana. You can hit me back at some future point in time.

That's a fair deal. I just need five levels and I can perm the M4X, I'll set it aside for you.

No, what I mean is I'm going to buy myself the M4X now because I'm so close (and want it now :v:). You can just trade me something different sometime down the line and I'll get you a perm katana before your 7 day token expires.

Okay that works too! Also when we're both around we could try the clan invite again, I wanna be GOON.

I like that the Winged Skull tag is the one you get for the mid-tier reward because that's exactly the tag my last levelup chance pack spat out. Is the machine pistol a decent secondary?
