Zone Wars
 

i logged on today after i got home from my girlfriends house, and saw the Zone wars - Relaunched. i wanted to play it, but it went away. will it be back any time soon?

No.

Oh, and another thing i noticed. what is the plasmachaingun going to be (and look like)?is it a gelat wep?

probably.

The Zone wars planet is for Guild events mainly.

It should be a full-time planet! Stefan is changing everything yet again, Next thing you know all the new planets will be like the events planet :/

No he's not, He's far from it. It's more of a "Little 12 year old screaming into a mic with a really high pitched voice" annyoance.

Zone Wars will now be an Events Planet, opened now and then, can also open it for special occasions such as Guild vs Server (as pooper stated). Also, minor changes still may occur, seeing as it is not completely finished, or it may be fine, and stay the way it is currently.

As for it coming back soon, it will probably be opened now and then as Events Planet, although probably for this week, it will be open almost every day, due to player requests, so you should get a chance to play. :)

Welcome to the age of Screw ups, Brought to you by The Zone staff! Here to your left you see the staff making all the new planets like the events planet where it has to be opened from a command the ET's do and to your right you see all the new stuff being put in the Grelat shop, If you continue down this way, You'll see both gold servers eventually dying. Enjoy your stay and have a plesent time in Zone V5!

Actually, if we wanted we could close all planets and make them like the Events Planet, although if you really would like maybe we could close some unused planets, and put Zone Wars up in there place, the reason we can't have it open is due to too many planets now. Will have to discuss this with the other ETs first, but this could work. Maybe even alternate between opening Guild Wars, and then Zone Wars each day?

Yes it could work, Since GW did replace ZW. Could be better, Yet it will never replace the old Zone Wars had in my heart :(

What's with Zone and bad moves? Zone Wars was actually fun.

I see no bad moves, and yes Zone War is fun, unless something has suddenly made it bad... could you elaborate on, "was"?

When one side (Light side i do believe) could use the speeders and not be killed unless a Sergent+ or a nub bought tazebombs could take them down. I think he kept going to the light side.


Hmm this thread just gave me an idea for an event.... :D

I see, so it is expected people are up-set with the removal of speeders. I myself did not like this move, but if you play it was for the best, seeing as how they made Mechs weaker on the Darkside, and the lightside's plasma sabre's have double power, it evened out.

I liked that one, Always went to the dark side, Always won :D

I agree, ZW is way better the GW and is more fun too. The alternating part i find wouldnt work, because no one would go on GW and jump to Iricia and then when ZW is up they'll go there, so there's no point in having GW alternating really.

So you propose we close Guild Wars, and open Zone Wars? I would agree but the reason Events Planet, and Zone Wars are staying fun is because they are sorta fresh, seeing as how you can't play them 24/7. Although, if I talked with the other staff, maybe we can figure a way to keep Zone Wars open, but this is an extremely delicate thing, I can't promise it, I really don't have any say in what happens with the major things like this. But I will try and convince them to keep Zone Wars open, if that is what the players want, although you may be sacrificing another planet or planet(s) in the process.

I see..Well its true it is fun as you cant play em 24/7..but maybe some times like twice a week let Zone Wars open all day and then close or something. That way we have more time to enjoy :)

You might want to use your common sense on this. Yeah it will most likely be a gelat weapon.

From what I've gathered from this thread, now I have to take time out of my schedule to wait for and play an event to see this map, rather than play it at my leisure like before.

We need to balance Zone Wars a little bit more:
- eventually make the flame bombs less strong
- eventually disallow jetpacks near the power stations
- add some more ways to stop or overtake mechs? e.g. throw a grenade at the mech and then the driver is thrown out
- eventually reuse the lava cave, e.g. when the dark side wins then everyone is put into the lava cave and there is a final round (last-man-standing), only melee weapons allowed

have it so staff can't kill a power station

go on ET tag and try to kill a power station.

Wouldn't that be abuse?..:noob:

Zone wars is too sexy as it is. Make it impossibly 6000°C Hot.

You forgot fixing the glitch on the teams =D. I think sabres should be exclusive to lightside, or maybe put it so like veteren/sergent+ can use sabre on darkside? I don't know, but it defeats the whole purpose of light/dark sides if you have kids on each team with the opposite weapon sets x.x

And for the lava cave, we should incoperate some sort of boss like ending, where you fight luke or darth vader and they have the overpowered sabres, force push and like a ton of hp? Idk I've always wanted bosses on zone.

And you should make it so the power stations emit a sort of tazebomb effect around the area, disabling jetpacks =)

No, Zone is not going to work, its a pvp server, Bosses, are a definite no, plus it would make no sense to have a boss, unless you make a player the boss, whoever scored the most amount of kills or something becomes the boss?

For some reason, this made me thing of Master Chief hijacking a Wraith tank in Halo. Might be interesting for hijacking to be possible when mechs/bikes are frozen.

Now i shall quit Halo before i meet you on it! :*( jk, Anyway, yeah that had me thnking of that.

Sweet idea.

I begin to cry every time people compare age old themes with Master Chief

Does anyone else find this funny seeing as spar or gwars replaced Zone wars? I can't remember which of the top of my mind.

The mine problem could be fixed by adding a gravity effect to gravmines. They could make a field of electromagnetism that is so strong the mechs break down.

That should not be a problem. Events team members should know better than to do such a stupid thing. Then again...

Update:
It's now possible to kick the driver out of a frozen mech by throwing a grenade at the frozen mech (any explosion will do it). Afterwards you can overtake the mech by grabbing it.
ETs are no longer be able to destroy power stations. Also the class items should be fine now.

Nice, could be very interesting. :)

Et's destroying the powerstations should have never been a problem xD. But I like the throw out of mech addition.

barrel explosion = knocks someone outta a mech? lol.

Melee weapons would be better for pulling someone out, a bit more realistic.

lol i remember back in the day when it was an active planet and the light side had speeders lol wat ever happend to them...

They took it out..Dunno why

A man stands in front of a truck, and trys to stab on the on-coming vehicle, next day the newspaper reads, "Suicidal Maniac killed by speeding motorist".

The other way,

A man throws a grenade at a truck, the grenade lands inside, and blows the man out of the car, also damaging the car. (I am saying inside because you expect that to happen, and plus Zone's vehicles are mostly no cover, grenades would blow you out. Mech doesn't have a screen either, you just jump in.
