Level linking building sites to the outside area would really help Zone a lot.

Yeah that might stop people from door laming which has really picked up now that jetpacks can't fly around in the bases from energy gained outside.
Auto turrets would be a fun way to stop some base laming, I'm just glad you didn't make it so when you use jetpack in the portal/team selecter device that you automatically appear on the ground if you jetpacked in.

Or a simpler solution that will end this problem, make an invulnerability time like when you first log on to graal kingdoms. Make someone who spawns at a base invincible for like 5 seconds just to at least give them enough time to load the screen on their computer. Everytime I go to Iricia, people like Drizzle and bahamutsnciestevedsoiuc8ualkj and that one trial noob will be standing there throwing pipebombs at the spawn points or just blasting away. All I'd really need would be a second to get a gun out, but that's not even possible.

You can already equip it before warping, but I think it might be good to add 5 seconds protection, and its not that hard to do.

Update: added a 3 seconds protection after warping

MisterMastermind · #21 11-22-2005, 03:02 AM

I've talked to you in game about this but you might forget seeing as how you have so much on you're mind. When something creates and explosion on, or very near, a ladder is stops you from going all the way down, or stops you from going down at all. These mortars would hold them for 3 seconds then kill them on the ladder down from the base (large problem with Sweep_Fleet base), and truthfully... 25-50% of all "laming" on zone occurs with mortars.

bahamutstevetff · #22 11-22-2005, 07:16 AM

oh no, this will ruin zone.

I know about equiping and whatnot, but the 3 sec protection is still a good idea since it takes a second to load, and sometimes equipping and then entering another gmap can unequip you automatically >.>

Thank you

But with 3 seconds, the person either has time to shoot the mortar user, or get out of their way...problem solved. Not as much mortar laming happens as could happen, considering you get very little ammo for it, and most people doing it are on trial accounts anyway. IMO, mortars are fine; They seem to be being used in the way they were meant to be.

Anything that prevents unfairness seems to ruin the game for you.

Well they it takes about 3 second to equip and get over to the side.

Who are you to talk about this kind of stuff seeing as you got on at about 2 A.M. and proxied alpha for top spot on bounty list instead of actually killing people face to face?

But it's very expensive, and these "lamers" are usually trial accounts and don't have that kind of money on Zone.

Actually, I didn't proxy alpha, I owned with a mech on Zone Wars and ran off and hid in alpha when too many people started going to Zone Wars

As for getting bounty, all you people do is sit around in deathmatch talking to all your friends after you team everyone else, so your bounty gets up from you just sitting around. In the time it took Ixi to get 700 bounty on DM last night, I would've had twice that much in that amount of time playing Zone Wars. Who seems like the person not "killing people face to face" in that situation?

Trials don't normally use it actually. Its normally P2P players. Demon Slayer kinda originated it... Also ixi got his bounty fair and square I'm questioning why you brought him into the converstation when it was you and mastermind arguing.

bahamutstevetff · #28 11-22-2005, 11:46 PM

this noob thinks were sad because we have friends on zone when he can sit for hours and hours lettong hios bounty rise, when i came to zonewars and came after you, you ran away in a speeder tehn logged out. *****

icemaster · #29 11-23-2005, 01:23 AM

Owned with a mech? Mechs are lame as hell. Try to kill skilled people such as Jkool,Touya,Darky, and ixi (if I forgot anyone sorry). You wont win against talented players.
