Thanks
This blog had its one millionth page view last night - thanks for reading! If you have topics that you would like to see covered or if you would like to provide a guest posting, let me know.
Ya man, congrats. I also noticed yesterday night that I was 999999 viewer. Lugg, I think that what everyone wants is to keep us updating more frequently and not once in while as it's been happening the last 3-4 months. Probably you were busy with your own stuff but don't forget us. Wish you all the best and once again thanks for your hard working.
Thanks for the input guys - I've been busy the last couple months but haven't forgotten about you all! Will try to post more often - keep letting me know what types of posts that you'd like to see - sometimes its hard to think of new ones after doing this for the past 1 1/2 years!
Thanks a lot man! whatever will be will be... This forum has been very helpful in my journey towards becoming a MSO ace !-) Not sure I am an ace... let's say a veteran! As many of you, I left the game because of the lack of renewal and because I was a bit fed up about bisnos and a few other things (lag...). I moved to Clash of clans... different but very addictive too... maybe still better than alcohol or drugs I guess. I'm also grateful to Zi2 because MSO was by far my favorite game for more than one year and I had a lot of fun with this game... but the game is kind of dead for me now. Would Zi2 update the game, I may come back, who knows. As many MSO fans probably, I gave a shot to MSA. Good game but it's more like an arcade or shoot'em up game and it just does not compare with MSO, which involves a lot of skill. Good bye flying fellows. Colonel Olrik / The Kid
I play clash of clans also join my clan were awesome im CELT1C SA1NT in a clan called the boondock saints my clash name is celt1c sa1nt spelled that way the other way is gc anyway join us
Same for me, this site has been very helpful! Though I'm still a "beginner", I play MSO for maybe 4 month now. Didn't meet too many "Bisnos". My skill rating is ca. 1400, though I prefer Survival mode. With a good mate and a fully upgraded Dragon I got to wave 35. What annoys me is the some/many "higher skilled" players (>10000) directly disconnect without giving me a chance to proved I'm worth a try in survival. :P
I've got a question regarding the accumulation of yellow medals. So far I used to play the campaign (1x/day) which takes approx. 35 minutes and makes max. 50 yellow medals. This seems kind of random. In the last 3 days there were 0 yellow medals. Is this just bad luck or is there some point where you stop getting yellow medal from the campaign? I still get the weapons and credits rewards.
I've noticed the same thing. Medals are so random. For the past few days, I've also noticed that my skills rating is not accumulating when I will and my # of kills is stuck to a fixed number.
Well, I still get yellow medals in survival mode for sur eif I get past wave 19. This is easy to achieve with a fully upgraded dragon. I still like to play the campaign because it is completet in the same time you need to reach wave 20, you get some weapons, you get ca. 2000 credits and you can pause anytime. :P
You can almost, always tell if someone's using a "score-hack" it can be ANY plane, but the common ones I've seen them using are, annihilators, wartusks and black eagles and sometimes hawkens! usally they have score ranging from 500-2000... my guests are new hacker accounts! - when you first fly into battle with them there performance is "careless" they don't even try to avoid your fire--like if they're beckoning you to kill them!! - I just fly away from them, when I find out what they're doing... sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't!
Can somebody explain this? (1). A player disconnecting after they have been killed once or twice, leaving you with a -12 point loss. (2). Beating a player with a high SR, and only receiving +5 points, instead of +25 points! (3). Getting killed by one RAAM with one hit! (4). players with invincibility-like hitting them with 7 or 8 bisnos before they're killed! (5). defense class or even sometimes weapons class planes moving with "lightning speed", example: dragons flying like reapers! -- and one time i was playing against a player from "china", and i don't know what he did, but in the middle of the match, the screen just turns into "night mode" like on survival, then a third plane came out of no where, that could not be killed, no matter how many bisnos me and the chinaman hit it with! - that was the most surreal and strangest thing I have ever seen while playing this game!!
Good job dude, i love the site! - it is very informative, useful and vital for your playing needs. BETTER than Z2's site, facebook/metalstornwingfan, etc. Z2 will be the BIGGEST fools, if they discontinued at this game--because MSA sucks, bigtime!!! :/ keep up the good work!!
Warning: There's a new hack being used. and you know it's hackers! it happens in verses, when you are getting the best of them, and all of sudden they "freeze the screen up" basically a high-powered lag switch - and when the scren comes back, you're dead or almost dead! and while the screen is like that, you can see your health status being dwindled down!!
Hackers: You'll know you're playing against one, because they don't have a "mic" on their mini profile while playing them. a "normal player" always has a "mic" so you can converse with them. hackers NEVER do!! so, watch out for that warning sign. whenever i notice that, i just disconnect, so what, i'll let them have their "little -2 points", because you ain't going to win anyway!! OH - and i've also notice "invisible players" at the beginning of a match... for about 10-15 seconds, they're invisible, and fuck you up from behind, watch out!!!
you know exactly what I'm talking about, yet you choose to play ignorant! in verses, on the upper left corner of the screen, there's a "mic symbol" that can be turned on/off to converse. BUT, i have noticed when you're playing certain players, that mic symbol has been removed. but when you play with a noob or regular player it's there! i know one those hackers personally!
that's because you're trying to be a smart-ass and acting like an idiot at the same time! - anyways, I have came to the conclusion, that you can only see the "mic symbol" when you go into verses, where it says "invite friend" the pink tab next to the blue one. it can't be seen in the main verses.
I sincerely HOPES "Z2" discontinue this fucking game, because the hackers (mostly chinese, eastern-euros) have REALLY shit all over this game! - seriously, you can't play a match for 30 seconds before your opponant pulls a "hack-move" on your ass, like some of the shit mentioned above in the previos posts. tonight was the last straw - so i deleted MSO for good, SR-13086 and all, down the drain!! to all the "honest players" good luck with this game--Z2's just fucking with your minds, while their pockets get fat! - think about it, they keep re-releasing the SAME -BS- PLANES over and over again, and the "new ones" aren't worth your hard-earned coins. they don't updated enough and last, but definitely NOT least - they CAN'T keep out the fucking hackers from fucking up the game!! - there you go, you' ve been warned :/
when i was beginning to play this game, too thought that people i versed were so good. now that i've learn a trick or two, i'm able to beat players higher than mine. bisnos and lancers are definitely a problem.
however, i do notice that people disconnects, there a few second disconnect (freeze or lag), and -12 SR. yes, these are hackers. at times, i notice that i'm unable to fire my cannons and missile and by the time i do, the plane is out of range.
I believe Apple can't do shit! do you know how many times a day I report the same hacker(s)?? but still nothing gets done. and "Z2" could give a rat's ass, about it! (Some food for thought) WE all know most of the hackers are "asians, eastern-europeans"-BUT whaf if some of the hackrs were Z2 staff themselves? to get their "kicks" since they're NOT really doing anything about the fucking cheaters!!!
Does anyone know who [z2] cheat code trace? I versed this player three times and all games were weired. There were three planes (one red - stationary, and two green planes). Is this player really from z2?
yeah I saw that too one time, I was playing against a player or players. and there was 3 green arrows and 1 red arrow - and they quickly kicked me out, it's like I interrupted their private game in verses! it happened to me two times!
So where are they getting these HACKS from? are they still playing on iPhone 4S, because iPhone 5 can't be jailbroken yet?! I see a lot of new players or hackers with new accounts using hacks! Z2 really needs to get their shit together or get the fuck Out of the gaming business, seriously fuckers, enough is enough... and I hope you read this shit too!!!
I just got my ass handed to me by "brad willis", what's up brad? lol, and he was using Lancers, i was shocked! because i hear him sometimes talking against "coin weapons" players!, as i told him in a friend invite, "my hacker-cousin was watching brad kick my ass, and he said brad was using a hack, i said NOT brad!" BUT my cousin would know he's a bonified hacker, and into that kind of shit, i'm just a "noob" who got banned once for using a weapons hack (unlimited coins) that's it nothing else, what's up nadia! and when Z2 banned me, i had to sell my device and buy another one just to get back in the game... but other players who are known hackers get to remain in the game unscaved from Z2's banning spree, can you believe that shit??? that's why said, i wouldn't be surprise if some of the hackrs were actual "Z2 staff" themselves are some of their friends (besides the chinese!), since Z2 isn't trying to stop or Deter these fucking hackers!! think about it guys :/
hahaha! I ran into bwilliw twice last night. First, he was using raams and disconnected before the game started. Thanks for the 25 SR. Then, we versed and he was using matras. The game ended with 3-1 in my favor. BTW, I was using matras as well. Thanks for the second 25 SR.
To "brad willlis's"defense, he may not be a hacker. Blue coin weapons are hard to beat. Ask him to use credit coin weapon next time and show his skills.
Any of you pilots seen a player with "no name, stats or SR" in verses? this player or hacker has nothing on his profile, and when you get matched with the player, you're the ONLY in there, and you have to stay the whole 2-minutes or disconnect and lose -12 points!
Had a weird experience in survival mode. Played a game with "v1ta500". Suddenly in wave 13 he disconnects. Then the score shows 6 million and wave 2. WFT?

Anyways, great work again and keep it up! ;)
I hate those players that disconnect during versus mode.
ReplyDeleteWhen they do disconnect, I always send them a message (nice or not so nice).
Hahaha
Well done! Congratz to this site/blog! ;)

Can someone else confirn this too?
Same here. For the last 4 weeks I had the very same problem. I thought it was a wifi connection but it seems it's not. Hope Z2 can fixed it soon.

BTW, can anyone tell me the next plane release for the coming weeks? Thanks in advance.
ReplyDeleteby Cyclone
Are they not sponsoring planes anymore cuz they didnt release a new one on Monday
ReplyDeleteCELT1C SA1NT
I hope that they dont do away MSO because my iPad version 1 cannot down load it
ReplyDeleteI really hope they dont do MSO because it's the better game.
DeleteYou can almost, always tell if someone's using a "score-hack" it can be ANY plane, but the common ones I've seen them using are, annihilators, wartusks and black eagles and sometimes hawkens! usally they have score ranging from 500-2000... my guests are new hacker accounts! - when you first fly into battle with them there performance is "careless" they don't even try to avoid your fire--like if they're beckoning you to kill them!! - I just fly away from them, when I find out what they're doing... sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't!

ReplyDeletehuh, that's funny i loaded the came from apple store for my two devices and i don't have a "mic". is the store version hacked, too.
Deleteyou know exactly what I'm talking about, yet you choose to play ignorant! in verses, on the upper left corner of the screen, there's a "mic symbol" that can be turned on/off to converse.

Deletei'm the person above..
Deletesorry for being ignorant..
how does one turn on the "mic symbol"?
same person as above..
Deletei've never seen this "mic symbo" as long as i've been playing.
that's because you're trying to be a smart-ass and acting like an idiot at the same time! - anyways, I have came to the conclusion, that you can only see the "mic symbol" when you go into verses, where it says "invite friend" the pink tab next to the blue one. it can't be seen in the main verses.

oh, btw, my number of kills has been frozen.
hacker and begginers out there!!!
yes, many players out there lack the skills, they end up using hacks.
ReplyDeleteIs no use to report "hackers" to Apple? Or do they ignore it or even can't do anything?
DeleteSure you can create a new AppleID...but still...
I believe Apple can't do shit! do you know how many times a day I report the same hacker(s)?? but still nothing gets done. and "Z2" could give a rat's ass, about it! (Some food for thought) WE all know most of the hackers are "asians, eastern-europeans"-BUT whaf if some of the hackrs were Z2 staff themselves? to get their "kicks" since they're NOT really doing anything about the fucking cheaters!!!
Deleteit would be nice, if the moderator of this site would let us post photos and videos here of our screenshot-kills and planes :/

ReplyDeletehahaha!

To "brad willlis's"defense, he may not be a hacker. Blue coin weapons are hard to beat. Ask him to use credit coin weapon next time and show his skills.
DeleteWhatever "fanboy" >)
DeleteHey guys i aint no hacker!!! Just skills baby!
Deleteraams with bisno power, now that's hacking!
ReplyDeletethis past weekend was hacker's galore.
Deleteraams with bisno power and weapon class planes with agility class speed and maneuver.
Any of you pilots seen a player with "no name, stats or SR" in verses? this player or hacker has nothing on his profile, and when you get matched with the player, you're the ONLY in there, and you have to stay the whole 2-minutes or disconnect and lose -12 points!
ReplyDeleteSo what's the next plane for 11-04-13??? i sure hope it's the "warlock or hades!!".
ReplyDeleteHad a weird experience in survival mode. Played a game with "v1ta500". Suddenly in wave 13 he disconnects. Then the score shows 6 million and wave 2. WFT?
ReplyDeleteGood games last night, Mr. Bwilliw.
ReplyDeleteOngpin
I can't believe they re-release the "iron fang" -again?! that plane is an eggshell, and everyone should have one by now. i hate that plane!
ReplyDelete
