They didn't work that hard on it is the problem, other then the GFX. Theres no balance at all in the weapon system on Zone. Currently 8/10 (approx) of the weapons are rendered useless on the ex-most popular planet, Iricia.
Classes are also useless in many more cases then they could be.

How knowledged are you in the weapons on Zone now vs before the introduction to several of the weapons listed? Have you experienced the gameplay with these weapons recently?

And Zone...

Hey. If Jkool posted every zone weapon script of the new weapons, they would be identical. With a few different classes (ammo types, clip sizes, energy usage) and all that.

Where's the love for the artists?

I'd rather not reset the server unless some drastic changes are going to be made that requires a server reset. I mean reseting the server just so players can work/lame their way back up to the top, making them so easily #1 while deleting all the oldbie's statistics seems pretty shtty to me.
Stupid arguments like this killed Zone. Every once in a while was okay, but it exceeded the limits. :)

Yeah :(. I liked it when Era first came back from a reset, and only guns were Ak, and Uzi.

Thats 300 Hours of laming, 600 Hours of afking.

Which is why you dont play zone anymore

Zone's died, and yet you slow in the head people continuously argue over stupid matters like that.

Thats why I posted the "Server Reset" at the bottom of my post, below all of the drastic changes that I want to see made. :noob:

Thats not the reason for the reset, I think you need to re-read my posts over again.

Hmm...
I really hate the "Zone is dead" posts guys. Seriously, stop posting that.

Remove all heals and make beds..., Remove Jetpack too

I'm not playing zone because there is too many healers, runners, cheaters

All healing items and such will be removed once the shielding system is implemented.

OMG, that's really cool ! :asleep:

What an awesome day that will be!




:)

Oh and by reading the following I'm suppose to realize you meant you wanted everything else to happen first, right? Isn't it common sense to reset a server when huge updates that would forever change the gameplay to reset it?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What am I suppose to get other than that from this?

How about "Zone's now a failure non-profit server that averages 5 players daily and at peek-times maybe 10 that most likely 30 percent of them don't even play the game itself".

so if i get shot like 40 times, i can go to sleep and wake upwith no wounds? eranewbie.

Yes it is, but a lot of people seem to think otherwise.
I guess I just thought it was more obvious I wanted things done to the server prior to the reset. Not "just so players can work/lame their way back up to the top," ya know?

I can honestly say if I came on zone and all of my stuff was gone it would be the last time I logged in there.

Are you still 11, or have you aged?

Anyways, I agree that something drastic must occur. Zone has been in this rut for awhile, now, and a reset might be a valid option -- working with a clean slate is much easier than working with a congested (Mucinex) one.

No I have aged but if I lose all my items and the server is still terrible I won't be going back on.

:\, Make bed heal slowly, and only in their base
zonenewbie.

Instead of a bed, for those of you who have played "B.O.B." for the Sega Genesis, maybe that style of healing could be implemented.

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, it's basically a charge station that connects to your nerves and heals you gradually.

Pretty swell idea.

You probably don't log on already, seeing as how there's hardly a person ever on Zone except for an hour or two maybe. Besides, everyone would have to start over, not just you, giving you a chance to get ahead of everyone before oldbies come back (if they decide to).
These ideas are to make the server BETTER and keep improving it, so how could it be terrible?

A few others, including me, thought otherwise than. :(

LOL.

Hi Ricky.

Exactly, that's why changes should occur and be tested before something that drastic happens.

That could make more use of base 1.

Or make real items that actually might heal in real life, but over time. Who eats a cookie and is healed? Although Zone is futuristic, I don't think a Cookie will ever magically heal you so much.

Also, heals over time would make healing more strategic, opposed to running/jet packing away and instantly healing and running back at your enemy.

That's just dumb, reseting the server so players will have something to work towards again. You'll cause more players to quit for a certain ammount of time than bring in, and those that do come in, once they realize nothing's changed and it's the same old crap, Zone's back at starting point 1 and Zone becomes a dependant server on resets so players can work back up to the top again. HORRIBLE thought process.

Though if changes occur, things might differ.

That's the point of this thread.

I agree with the first post completely.

I agree with jkool on this, his ideas for removal of certain weapons are great and gelats and the removal of trials being able to wear global guild tags have both influenced zone with a negative effect and should be fixed, though i disagree with the removal of rps and bps but rather host events for these two weapons (once per 2months?) and make them perm again, as well as making all guns perm.

Good idea =D, but like DuBsTeRmAn said, they will lose loads of players >.< i don't think anyone wants a reset

This plan should really be put in play, it's something I can see bringing back and/or in new players.

Reset? That's what everyone says, but once the server resets and it's back up, they'll all come crawling back at some point. People say that to try and scare the owners into not doing it, but if the gameplay is great, and things get better, they're bound to come back and play regardless of what they said in the past.

Zodiac is a prime example for me and if you've been around for their resets. Just about anyone not willing for a reset was going all Along with multiple messages similar to that. What happens later on? They came right back because they can't resist the gameplay and new features/changes that were made within the downtime for the server to reset and such.

Took the words out of my mouth.

I also concluded a lot of these ideas would require very little development work.

I approved the weapon parts cause u have no chance to won BPs or RPs in a event put them in Zone shop (Ircia shop).

I agree with everything in the first post.

The server has lost a lot of players due to these mistakes and is therefore losing a lot of money from it. Trying new ways to attract more players should be #1 on the management's list. They would be foolish to not consider this idea.

I do.
I want to rank up and get all medals again. ^^

Guns like red pistoles or blue pistoles should be kept.

I also agree with almost everything you've said.

Once again, just wont be happy seeing my items from upgrading go bye bye. One of the reasons I upgraded was JUST to get the doubleshot.

I have no problem seeing it switched to a specific class though. And as much as I like my black sabre, I'll be a-okay going back to nothing. Knowing me, if we had enough people playing, I could get to general in a day.

I'll be quite happy with the reset, but at least let the players keep something from it lol.

As for the healing thing, maybe let medics heal at a constant rate instead of instantly. Possible lower the energy cost too. That way people would have to sit and wait until they are healed enough to go out and fight again, and medics cant just wip out the meds, heal, then start fighting again as if nothing happened.

This will also make it better if the medics had to sit still (cause i dont think anyone can patch someone up while running) because they couldnt heal themselves on the run.

That should increase strategy ;).

Merf medics? You wish! 

I'm just sayin'! lol
People tend to nerf everything, or even power things up because people heal so quickly.

It could just be easier to nerf the problem itself, the ability to heal.
I know right after people begin talking about regen, it would be kinda hypocritical to agree to it but want to nerf medics. But seriously, a medic is worse than cookies and medpacks, because their healing doesn't run out, and two or three heals could make him able to be in top condition. (added with the fact that there are weapons you can get for ANY class, it makes them quite the opponent)

I support fixing these two issues the most.

What players?

Also, many of the people on the highscores don't even play anymore. I believe they are trying to get new people to play the game, not cater to the selfish demands of the current players.

Another good idea would be expanding more upon the medic class. A few years ago your team absolutely needed a medic, but then powerups were released (like cookies; I hope you guys didn't put them back) and players became self-reliant. Even with the removal of all these powerups, the medic class still isn't used often. Perhaps you could brainstorm some ideas in the future.

I mean, you have to think real hard to remember a time when "strategy" and "Zone" were used in the same sentence. Try to invent ways for Zone to shift to a server in which it isn't he-who-pushes-s-or-d-the-most-wins.

How the hell did I get subscribed to this?

Hmm...

Also...
-those who disagreed (a few people who don't want to lose their stats) were unsuccessful argueing their opinion ;P
-I had concluded this idea would take little development
-consider the number of people who agreed, consider WHO they are as most of them were once pretty wise active Zone players and consider how many people actually log onto the Zone Forums
-there are some players who posted who sounded like they agreed but didn't actually say "I agree"

I just think it's to bad some ideas weren't considered a bit more back when I thought this up, as now it's to late for this idea.

I'm going to agree, I would definetly go back to playing Zone, no doubt.

Actually I might even subscribe again, and I think alot of other people would too.
But it's going to be impossible to persuade Stefan.
