My Suggestions for a Better Zone.
 

Hey guys, it's Hato, :D.

Now that I have returned to Zone as both a player and staff, I thought of a few things that I think need improving or could be added to Zone which I put into a fancy bulleted list.

NEW IDEAS

• Achievements: Oh my, do I ever love these. Achievements are a big part of what keeps me playing my games, such as *COUGH* Left 4 Dead *COUGH*. If Zone were to have achievements, I think it would be fun trying to attain them all. For earning an achievement, you could give a certain money reward. For example...
  
  Achievement Name: Stop the Slaughter!
  Description: Kill 10 enemies without dying.
  Reward: 500$.
  
  If you think about the achievements you could have on Zone, I could come up with AT LEAST 100. Along with the community, we could probably gather up even more. There could also be an in-game checklist that you yourself can view, and other players can view as well. Harder achievements would give more money. Or you could always copy Microsoft and have points. :3.

IMPROVEMENTS

• New Gun Sounds: My oh my, I think we desperately need some new gun sounds. No offense, but I can't stand the sound of my appirces, as they sound silenced and just annoying. Same with the magnums, the current sound just sounds silenced (Which is silly, considering none of our weapons are). Also, we should try and have more unique sounds for the guns, considering quite a few of them use the same sound file.
  
• Reload Button: When I left Graal, I played FPS....a lot. Of course, I love the reload button. Not having it on Zone, is an inevitable pain in the ass. I hate having to put away my weapon and draw it back out, or shoot my whole entire clip to reload. I think it'd be pretty simple to add a reload button, wouldn't it?

I like that idea just not 500$, people would be rich.

I don't see a reason to have a reload button, it reloads automatically at end of clip. Unless, you have OCD where you need to have like a certain number of bullets it's fine lol.

totally agree on that we need more achivments

You only unlock the achievement once. Meaning you would only get $500 once...

I think those are great ideas, epecially achievements. I'm tired of having to fight the same players, over and over and over again. Getting killed by the same ones too -.-.
If it's accepted, I would be glad to help you :)

I like all of these. Especailly the reload button. Some new sounds would make me actually turn the sound on...

oh i c

Strategy. When you're playing in an FPS, you reload when the fighting has calmed down... it gives you the ability to save a full clip for combat, instead of running out in the middle of a fight and having to reload... just because you went into the fight with 5 bullets in your clip.

Ya I know that, but this is Zone. It takes about half a second to reload.

And half a second isn't important?

Zone doesn't play like a FPS tho, and the only time you really need to prematurely reload is after a battle when taking the time to put away and redraw your gun won't result in death. However if there was a slight reduction in reload time if you reload before your clip is empty then it could be worthwhile.

Not really in Zone, there isn't as much action going on to where it would be necessary.

A reload button would be cool and easy to do, I agree with the achivements also, kinda like xbox gamerpoints..

I can guarantee you I lost many times in events because I couldn't recharge in a good moment, and a finishing hit always would always end in a reload... Well, not just events, but I mean, I would have been able to get rid of some quite challenging person, but the recharge just made it's worse agian...

ye i like them, Especailly the new sounds
