The Home of the Dot Gamer Clan!

I found this as I tried to log into Combat Arms today ( http://combatarms.nexon.net/News/View.aspx?boardNo=101&contentNo=006QY ):

Attention Combat Arms Users!

Combat Arms fans and musical theatre aficionados alike now have a treat to look forward to. Rapidly gaining support from Broadway critics, Nexon America is thrilled to announce that Combat Arms the Musical will now be coming to a venue near you! Tickets will be on advance sale to select Combat Arms users, as well as those who have a VIP Off-Broadway Association Membership, starting Mid-April, and go on sale on July 10th to the general public. Once we receive confirmation, we will provide official box office information early next week.

Here are more details on the show:

Combat Arms the Musical is a new musical comedy from the creative producers at Nexon. It tells the story of an up-and-coming model, Eliza, who has a penchant for cold-blooded carnage. Although she’s been handed a life of luxury on a silver platter, Eliza’s true heart’s desire is to travel the world as a contract killer. When she’s approached by a talent agent who cares less about her looks and more about her reputation as an expert recreational submachine gunner, Eliza becomes “Mei”, and her life is turned upside down with one hilarious assignment after another. However, when Eliza meets and falls for the ambitious mercenary Bryan, or “Baron”, and discovers he is sabotaging every job he can, she is brought to a professional and personal crossroads. In matters of the heart, and matters of homicide, how do you choose the path meant for you?

The critically acclaimed, soul-stirring soundtrack features gems such as:

• Springtime for the Infected
• I Wanna Get a Nut Shot
• No One Mourns the Hackers
• Ol’ Man Baron

I hope this is a April Fools joke (which I assume it is), but who knows. Nexon is stupid enough to do it.

Well as most of you have noticed, Combat Arms has gained more of a sleek look throughout the ages. But this week’s patch was nothing like they have ever done before. A WHOLE new skin was introduced, along with new buttons, menus, and chatting options. It seems to have a more futuristic look to it as well as being quite confusing.

What did I think about it? Well to me, the whole new skin seemed EXTREMELY confusing. And I know what I’m doing, I mean I’ve been playing for a year now so I’m familiar with the system. Anyway, when I open the game (on the direct start (And yes there is one, just browse your CA folder for it)) I was completely blown away by the new start button and silver skin outline. So the opening screen is the same along with the little man running on the bottom right, that you can still make jump with the space bar. I saw that they had the same background picture on the log in screen. So I log in and…..WOW. For about 5 seconds of my life, I was proud of Nexon! so I went into the Alpha server, same business with the low, moderate, busy, full capacity. I went into channel 6, and completely took back of what I said about being proud of Nexon.

What were the problems that I noticed with the lobby? First of all, I had to lean towards my screen a WHOLE 12 INCHES just to read the game name, players, and type; the font size I imagine is about 8. It used to be about 18. Second, CA wants you to work hard in finding the right kind of game. It’s not like it used to be where you can say, “Oh this game’s waiting.”, or, “Oh these people are playing, but there’s still room left in the game. How do I know you might ask? Well it’s quite, simple: THE FONT COLOR IS YELLOW!” Well I’d hate to hurt the feelings of whoever’s reading this but….they don’t do that anymore, sadly. Instead they reduce the font size (And yes i know that I’m stressing that, because I have the vision of a rock) and turn ALL the font gray, except for the word ‘waiting’ to blue, and the ‘in game’ to green

So when i get in the lobby right kind of game, it takes me awhile to find the ready button, 10 seconds exactly, even though it takes up about 1/8 of my screen. The switch teams button is a little different, along with the chat. But the good thing is that when going into the modification screen, or the buying items screen, you can still see the chat lobby chat. Oh and I just can’t wait to tell you about the store menu!

So I went to check out the store, to see if anything changed, and WOW do I have news for you: IT’S TERRIBLE, and yet again, confusing. The menu is just a list. That’s it: A LIST. Do you want me to say it again?: A LIST. Anyway, I went to browse the guns, and I found out that in order to get a view of the gun that you’re buying, you have click on the weapon. And if you’re looking to quickly scan the list for permanent weapons, good luck. It’ll take a while. Or if you want to know if it’s an smg, AR, SR, Shotgun, etc., you have to click on that too.

So my first game was death room, elimination, 6v6. The usual countdown was there, but it made no beeping sounds; that depressed me. Anyway, no depletion in the loading time, I went through the loading thingy (Even though I only see it for 2 seconds) and got in the game. So I started to pwn some noobs as I normally do, and I noticed an in-game text stating: NOOB HACKER KICK HIM PLS! Only this was no ordinary text. The text was red. I used my common senses: red=bad, green=good. And 2 seconds later green text popped up saying: OMG NOOB G T F O (of course there were spaces in between the letters, for they wanted it not to be blocked). So I was correct on that note. I then experimented with the team chat: the team chat’s white, instead of lite blue. So I wasn’t that disappointed about it, just had to think about it. So I went out of game and saw that the chat was still there from the previous games. That was cool. I still have yet to check out the ingame clan chat color; who knows, it might be yellow. lolz.

The downside is that we can’t pwn noobs anymore, because CA is becoming less and less user friendly. If they would have kept it the same, our KDR’s might actually increased. So in this new patch of CA, some good things arose from it, mostly terrible things, but I’m sure that they’ll fix it in the next few weeks or so. Will Nexon ever do anything good for a change? And also, the new skin was “taken” from other FPS F2P games. So now CA is NOT unique in it’s own special noobish way. It’s now made for, I guess you can say: “Players that can actually play and enjoy the game like real PC gamers and don’t complain about noobs/haxors/lag all the time.

Lol, I was so caught up playing Quarantine that I forgot about Dungeon Fighter. Sorry guys…

This is the clan’s second YouTube video, showcasing Combat Arms’ new mode, Quarantine. I like it. It is fast paced and bloody, even if you do not have an 18+ account.

Have good videos or screenshots of any of our supported games and want them in our next video? Send them to youtube@dotgamerclan.com and tell me the name of the game and the name you would like on the credits. Thanks ^-^.

So, as most of us know, Nexon has debuted a new game mode: Quarantine! It seems pretty interesting, except for the fact that the infected have 600 HP, and SP’s last significantly longer. There’s one thing that I, and most of you have already noticed: NO STRAFING! There’s a way:
1. push the gear icon in the top right hand corner.
2. Click on the Controls tab.
3. turn left to ‘A’; turn right to ‘D’.
