Does someone know this guy? ZORRO???
DeleteThere is a guy called Zorro. He is sending messages with nasty stuff. He also has a way to invade the game an screw the image of the airplane. What can we do against this guy?
Please comment by today, at least for the Karma plane! It looks like an excellent campaign missions plane, +13 damage, +14 agility, +3 armor regen, +6 crit, much better than the aurora. I'm debating whether i should buy it or not. The Karma will expire in <24 hours!
ReplyDeleteYes.
DeleteDoesn't mean you are gonna see the post by today, anyway.
DeleteUpdates include: Bisno especially, becomes super difficult dodge.
ReplyDeleteSean, they didnt’ become difficult to dodge. Others at the fan club concluded that it’s the Missile Delay... It iz back!!
DeleteThe missiles hit you already even before you thought you “dodge” them
The stats aren't changed right? Well, I don't even play with Bisno players anymore.
DeleteI agree that dodging bisnos are more difficult with the upgraded version. I'm getting blown out in the first few seconds.
DeleteThis game is full of idiots that cheat to win. My rate should be at least 30k by now but you know what? after I get to the level 4000 (above that there is a limbo of cheaters up to rates of 99999999999...) I surrender to lower it down below 4000, where normal player with NORMAL VERSIONS OF THE GAME are...
ReplyDelete> 4000 , screw u all!!!!!
Wait till you hit the 10000 mark. you'll think most of them is hackers
DeleteNot all players with above 4k are cheaters/hackers.. My SR is only 35K and I get hater messages when I beat folks with SR higher than mine.
DeleteThe last one how complemented with a hacker comment was SA.AD. LOL.
What do you mean by 4k or 10000 mark?? Do you mean SR?? I agree then, not all people with high SR are hackers - My SR is 24000 and I have squares eyes to prove it!! I have had some nasty messages sent thru the friend request though, when I win AND lose!! Just get back to flying and playing nice:)If you have nothing nice to say - go play another game!!
DeleteWhat I mean when you hit the 10000 SR, you will meet a lot of good fighter, and because they are so damn good, you will think they are hackers, but they are Not.

Don't know why but I cannot see the new Karma plane among the planes available. The "new" plane available for me is just the F12 liberty. Despite this I fought one Karma in versus mode. Is it available for all of you guys?
ReplyDeleteThe Kid
It's seems that TK-42 Karma was only available over the weekend for 205 blue coins. I'm glad I bought it just in time. Fully upgraded, but will take some time getting used to as I'm an agility fan. Although great for survival and campaigns, not too bad for versus too;)Agility is great and surprisingly it vs. very well against other weapon class plains.
ReplyDeleteYou know at first I thought it great the way that metalstorm had such a diversity of planes so that we could all fit whatever plane we want for survival, campaign, or versus. However I'm starting to get really fed up with the way they keep churning out planes for no other reason than to grab our money or time. I'm now at the point that I wish to remove planes from the menu because it take a long time to scroll through for whatever plane I want to use. It would be great if Z2 could give us the option of selling planes that we don't want anymore for a percentage of their original value.
ReplyDeleteFurthermore the fact they keep using the same models and just reskinning them and changing the stats is really tiring. I happen to really like the Quicksilver and think it's the best weapons class plane for versus mode, but the other planes are just terrible all around. If they really must use the same models, I wish they would use other aircraft like the Cyclone or Spectre. They are my favorite models, yet they're only used once.
Otherwise that new missile isn't remotely tempting in terms of price or capability. I still hate the medal system and wish that Z2 would fix the problem of not always awarding medals for campaign of survival modes.
Not sure about refund. But I agree on the medal system. It really seems random. Sometimes you get yellow medals and sometime you don't.
ReplyDeleteFor campaign and versus modes they seem randomly awarded, however I've discovered that you're almost certain to get medals for reaching wave 20 or above in survival mode. This gets you anywhere from 30-37 medals. At wave 15-19 you're more likely to get medals than not, but 20 seems to be the magic number for survival mode.
DeleteI typically will do this with my Aurora equipped with Phoenixes and a credit cannon, and I make it to wave 20 over 90% of the time. I have issues using agility and defense class planes because they take too long to regenerate damage, but the Aurora (and now the Karma) seem the best planes for survival mode. Hope this helps.
I must agree with the last two comments. Same planes are being used over and over again, when there's so many cool models out there what could bring more fun into the game. I wish they let you utilize green coins much wider i.e buy blue coins or medals even if the exchange ratio would be high, say 1000 green coins buy 100 medals or so. Z2-Please, make a new missile sell for green coins not medals!
ReplyDeleteSome new planes cost 20000 credits and are not even worth it. Look at the F-51 Hawken, it cost 20000 credits also the states are better so I wouldn't recommend a plane that. The new planes that cost 20000 credits should be for at least 15000 credits.
ReplyDeleteTim
I forgot the like in that like I wouldn't recommend a plane Like that.
DeleteTim
Hi Z2, why dont you put the outlines around planes anymore?? ie: denoting weapons class / agility class or defense class? Its only cosmetic but its the attention to detail we have come to expect from you. Have you lost interest in the game ??
ReplyDeleteThey only don't put outlines on the new planes, like the quicksilver or condor. The older planes still have the outlines.
DeleteThe TK-42 Karma owns its outlines to the Avro Vulcan, a British Strategic Bomber now out of service ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro_Vulcan ). So in a way it shares heritage with the Sky Demon. In both cases Z2 converted a real world bomber with no air-to-air capability into a fighter aircraft, lol.
ReplyDeleteI know this might sound stupid, but can anyone tell me what stealth does?
ReplyDeleteIt makes you harder to get locked by missiles, me thinks. So it takes longer until your opponent has lock on you with his missiles. The opposite would be "Missile Tracking",
DeletePlease correct me if wrong.
the opposite is Lock speed.
DeleteStealth goes against Lock Speed
Evasion goes against Tracking
As a example a plane has 10% stealth, and the other plane has 5% lock speed. That means that it minus 5% of the stealth so 5% of the stealth is left. Lock speed is important.

So, the mother of all Defense class planes, the D-112 GREEN EAGLE will return August 19th!
DeleteWhat does all this chinese, japanese or whatever it is mean?
DeleteHow much does the green eagle cost because I really wanted a long time ago, if I had that plane it would be my main plane but now the plane that I use the most which is a main plane is the Hawken.
DeleteTim
The green eagles armor regen is probably lowered.
DeleteSo if they change the stats of the Green Eagle on the re-release, will this also change the stats of the old Green Eagles already out there?
DeleteProbably.
Deleteto: "The green eagles armor regen is probably lowered. "
DeleteI would be surprised. They never did such a thing. Most agree that the GE sucks but changing the stats would be unfair for players who bought it with the previous stats. They can't release a plane with great stats and lower the stats once people have bought it.
And honestly, is the GE so problematic? OK it's hard to kill it with credits weapons, especially with agility planes, but it's quite easy to get a 0-0 draw (especially with agility planes). So it does not really provide an advantage in versus mode and I don't think that many people would use except for survival.
By the way they have not yet built an agility plane with armor regen although two weapon planes with armor regen are now available. Such a plane might become a best seller in my opinion, especially if it has also extra speed and agility.
Imagine:
Agility class with
Agility +10%
Speed +10%
Cannon damage +10%
Armor regen +4%
I don't think that would be an overpowered plane although it would be quite attractive.
The Kid
Then the the price would be higher. I'm the same person that said that the armor regen would be lowered.
DeleteIt seems that Z2 has changed the release plane for this week.... I was expecting the Arrow and now is the striker.... Anybody knows what happened?
DeleteByCyclone
Ii's Chinese, Just the name of the the planes
ReplyDeleteI want four planes from the list, but don't have blue coins for all. How much was the GE when it came out last?
ReplyDeleteThe GE was 205. If you want so many blue coins, try jailbreaking, (unless you have a Ipad4 or Iphone5.
ReplyDeleteThere is a guy called Zorro. He is sending messages with nasty stuff. He also has a way to invade the game an screw the image of the airplane. What can we do against this guy?

Metalstorm:Aces is available in the app store. Does this herald the end of the Metalstorm:Online era?
ReplyDeleteI tried Metalstorm Aces and didn't like at all...It just doesn't feel as real as Metalstorm Online.
ReplyDeleteSame, I prefer MSO so far. This comic-look just doesn't feel right. :P
ReplyDeleteMetalstorm aces is out in the US now. It says its a sequel to metalstorm online.
ReplyDeleteAnyone has the Warlord yet the exclusive Agility class plane that is there for limited time and will not be Re-released ever again? I have it. It's agility class:
ReplyDelete+12 Damage
+14 Agility
+11 Energy
+9 Lock Speed
Even though I finished the 4. campain in Aces, the Warlord isn't unlocked in MSW.
DeleteWhat can I do?
You have to make a z2 account and connect it with Game Center
DeleteHow do you connect a Z2 account with Game Center?
DeleteDid you mean to be locked into both separatley, but at the same time?
LOL. Everyone making same mistake. Figure it out before the plane disappears and never gets Re-released. I had no problems getting it.
ReplyDeleteFloro, can you be more specific on how to avoid the mistake you stated?
DeleteA little bit of topic: German Luftwaffe's Fighter Wing 71 "Richthofen" will say pharewell to the last F-4F Phantom's in German service with an airshow tomorrow (Saturday, June 29):

If you already past campaign 4 ages ago before this offer well I have a bad news for you. Anyways you should contact Z2 anyway. But first make sure you're logged in your GC account AND your Z2 account
