Regarding future updates

Dan · #1 08-25-2008, 04:26 PM

Hello Graalians,

We intend to introduce new content such as new planets, with variating objetives, as well as balancing weapons over the next several months. Until the next planet release, we will be automating the planets, opening platform and zone wars (meaning they will be open for half an hour, switching every hour).

Thank you for your cooperation,

-Zone Management

I won't salute until I know what you plan with the weapon "balancing".

By balancing, I believe he means to change the weapons statistics like power or freeze time.
For example he might increase the damage of the metallic rifle by 2-3 points. Balancing weapons to not make them overpowered or underpowered.

Ya, I hope by balancing he doesn't mean nerf the weapons people cry about all day. (2Donark, Ep consumes energy very fast i don't think it needs a nerf)
If appirces are nerfed for some odd reason, i'm quitting.

Just saying

Why it's not really gonna change it. Iricia gives the most kills...so unless you have a planet that is just a lame. It will be useless.

it's worth a shot isn't it? Besides when CTF was released it had 30+ players for about a week.

I guess so. IMO that's what will happen to the new planet.

Depends, CTF isn't played because long walks, and scoring isn't worth much.

Crono · #20 08-25-2008, 11:19 PM

The original Zone Wars lasted a long time if I remember. All of it's updates were **** though and killed it.

They can also have alternate event planets which can be opened. It would be good to see some new planet's pumped out of Zone debug.
They can always have a script that switches them out every few days. Koth/CTF aren't even played that much. Perhaps they can be removed every few hours/days, and another planet can replace one or both of those for a while.

I rather it not take alot of energy and shoot slower. Im tired of getting caught in its line of fire...

Good idea! I will think of that more often. z.z

pooper200000 · #26 08-26-2008, 01:36 AM

Just because you get caught in a weapon's line of fire does not mean it is overpowered Donark.

Deas_Voice · #33 08-26-2008, 05:00 PM

Wow that made me laugh so hard! XD

And I've stated before that the metallic rifle needs to go through players and hit enemies standing behind, it needs to have 0 variance and it needs to have a faster rate of fire.

If this 'balancing' is going to just be Dan giving and taking damage off certain weapons then it's going to end up failing and will most likely screw Zone up even more.

Tenchry_P2P · #35 08-26-2008, 09:46 PM

PIMP THE REAPERS cough..
well enhanced pulsar would need to be adjusted a bit as you get hurt by 5 dmg sometimes and 20 dmg sometimes, it's a bit buggeh, it's just some freeze of some weapons. to be honest photon is pretty balanced, but a lower range would be better considering a few hits rape you and theres too many photon nubs on zone right now

Pimp reapers, LOL. Reapers are perfectly fine.
About EP, 1 shot = I think 2-3 bullets? Not sure..idk, cuz when you look at it after it moves out more it seperates into 1/3 shots or something.
