why kill v5

youre right im not even remotely close..the staff were already lazy to begin with you can tell that this game was made with minimum effort..sure they added more ways to make money and update the gmap but the gameplay is still horrible pretty horrible, the server changes every other week so no ones ping is consistent. And it doesnt help that era is so anti v5.."you can only play this event if you have v6" what type of discrimination is that. my ancestors fought hard so i can use the internet and play this game that was made on paint

Even with all of that it's no point because stefan is just going to force everyone to update and delete v5..then when v7 comes well be complaining again. the vicious cycle i tell you

Your vicious cycle, that is. You belong to the type of players we developers hate from the bottom of our heart, the type that complains about whatever you do, be it good or bad. If it's change, it's automatically bad; just like when I released the small spar with the added automatic queue on Era back then.

Are you referring to the entire roster of staff across the history of Era, or are you just talking about the current team? Era, like any playerworld, has been a collaborative effort spanning many staff teams. Be more specific in your criticism if you're going to make such a strong generalization.

The core gameplay of Era hasn't changed since its inception. If you don't like it now, you wouldn't like it then. And the question is, what are you doing complaining and playing a game in which you think the entire gameplay is horrible? Are you a masochist? There's actually quite a bit more to do than there was in the past. The economy is actually leveled out thanks to the pawn shop system. Gun stats are a bit out of control, but they've been that way for years. Wil's changes were starting to counter that, but we've again regressed. So what's your point? What specifically makes the gameplay bad?

Perhaps that's an overstatement? Cite sources or refrain from making these bold claims.

Alright, let's recap:

• Avoid generalizations, get specific in your critiques
• Cite sources to back up your argument if you're going to argue factual "evidence".
• Clean up your grammar.
• If you're going to complain, please be specific or shut the **** up. (Getting a theme here?)

ilovegirlzz, this was pretty bad, even by standards of a rough draft. Perhaps written communication just isn't your thing. It's okay, you can always fashion your own language of grunts and gesticulation instead. Bloodykiller would love some company.

Maybe you should face the fact that your hardware might just suck. Especially if you make it dependant on RAM alone, of which Graal doesn't even use a whole lot.

bloodykiller obviously has no idea what he's talking about, but some people do have weird issues that I can only blame on compatibility. I've known players who were able to run v5 flawlessly while v6 was hopelessly slow using both DirectX and OpenGL on modern hardware.

Of course the game was made with minimum effort. None of the staff on Era are getting paid. It's only logical to try to maximize the benefit:time ratio when you're contributing in your spare time.

"you can only play this event if you have v6" what type of discrimination is that.

It's not discrimination. Try running the latest version of any popular program on Windows 95 and see how far you get. It takes more time and effort to support v5 users because you have to test everything twice and possibly spend lots of time working around flaws in v5. In some cases it's not even possible for a developer to use v5 because it's not supported on their platform anymore. When 95% of the playerbase is using v6, there's generally no point wasting significant amounts of time on the 5% who isn't.

+1, 100% agreement here.

Well, at least vBulletin does have an ignore feature.

You can't have a argument then ignore everyone, we should strip you of your argument tag and throw you in the dungeons!

Even if you're in the wrong, keep arguing, it's more fun, trust me.

any computer with 4gb ram will give you issues on v5 if you're using your browser at the same time you're using graal. on v6 if u want to get fps lag you really need to try hard

ur right i'm no computer geek, but what i'm tryna say is that my computer was medium-top tier when i bought it (september 2010) and AS OF NOW with v5 i'd get a shitload of fps lag. also many other players would have fps lag and now only few do
unluckily enough, my laptop broke down so i'm stuck on a computer which is like 5 years old, used as **** and not even portable lol, and i manage to get fps lag on v6 (in ulms/high action levels+random fps lag spikes which **** up my fire rate since i mostly use semi-auto guns)..running v5 on this computer barely allows me to move at unstick. so my theory is once again confirmed, and as a general theory it might not apply to that 1% which has weird compatibility issues.

My computer is 5 years old and i dont get fps lag that much :/

mac mini ftw..

jk im getting a real game computer the end of this month finally.. arma ftw.

of course it should run on a 5 years old computer
graal used to run on computers from 1998 (and probably older)
and the graphics are about the same

Sometimes when I raid in vortex my fps freezes when I run through one of the levels in the gmap, pretty weird.

is it only in v6 or v5 too?
