The UPs and DOWNs - Zone is released!

[Admins]

Zone has very nice gfx, the weapons are quite balanced, it's different than the other Graal servers. If there are other quality servers then they have a chance to come on the classic tab too.

I got bored after playing on it for 5 minutes.. There were NO instructions as to what to do.

Gfx aren't everything...

Zone is like... if you started a new game on Halo... and they just put you in some hallway in the Pillar of Autum without a gun... while the ship is being attacked and expected you to go fight the invaders and didn't tell you how to do anything or how to get a weapon.

The GFX are good, but it wouldn't be very fun if you ran around trying to get a gun while you get killed.

And lose 90% of its player base?

There isn't a single old Graal server.

Haha, that made me laugh out loud.

It's true though. It's like the makers of the server forgot that the players haven't been developing everything right along with them.

Player's don't know the in's and out's of the system like the staff do. I have no idea how to do anything there. I couldn't get out of the first area. I somehow managed to equip binoculars that were ridiculously hard to use. I walked around and just saw people standing there not talking. Then moving like 4 minutes later. I could barely even tell if they were alive. I thought they were NPC's for a while.

It seems like a server that had a good start, and good early development. Then it kinda just fell apart and the staff just slapped stuff together in an attempt to finish it. I really don't see what all the hype is about though. It has no real original ideas. I read the FAQ today as to what the goal is on the server and basically it's this:

Kill people to make money. Make money to buy bigger guns and augmentations. Kill more people.

Wow, that's deep. Let me shed a tear for that insanely creative gameplay idea. Wait... that's not a tear of joy...

i dont see whats great about Zone really. I mean. my sister can draw better graphics then that. no offense i'm just saying, its another Era type server where you're going to shoot the hell out of someone when they log on

[--Chris--]

I figured out everything within minutes, I like the class system and bounty rewards on certain players ^-^ Zone is really fun in my opinion with CTF and all...even though a bit repetitive it doesn't really cut out the fun factor. I look forward to what's to come in the future with Zone <3

Everything is Gray X.x
and there are NO FEMALE HEADS OR BODIES! Really, what's up with that?

I dont know, I dont get into walking around and shooting people

But the graphics are well done, and I suppose it is suppose to be that color for what it is, but the bodies, IMO, are ugly X.x

So, not being able to have a certain-styled piece of graphic is stopping you from shooting things (the only thing to do on the server)? XD

There are 2 skirts... XD

Yes, exactly. Well, not...exactly. I happen to use one of these "skirts" o_o not sure why, it just seems to fit in with the rest of the outfit i wear. Plus the bodies are so retarded that you could hardly call it a skirt anyway XD

Hoho, yeah. This is the only reason i'm carrying on playing; im halfway to buying a chaingun. If its good, i'll shoot a few people with it then leave most likely. If it sucks, i'll just leave right away o_O

Yeah, things aren't as hard to figure out as people are saying they are. The hardest thing for me was reading the indecypherable text on the team radio that says like "say '<text> to talk to your team" or something :grin:

And if you were to put the class and bounty on a decent server, or on a different game that -was- intended to host Q3F ripoffs, then you'd have yourself a good game. :o

That was me

May I ask sir, WTF?

Exactily my sentiment

Will they have the same chance as Zone did though? From what i heard the PWA Review is pretty critical and content is everything, on Zone i dont see as much content as other servers are expected to have.

Really my question is, will every server have the same level chance at getting to the tab?

Zone is great, it's like nothing i've ever seen before, it deserves to be a gold server, it's really advanced

And my personal feelings are I hope we never seen any of it again. Gold? Hah after the first 15 minutes you have seen it all, a Gold server needs much more than that to hold players. First off there are no female heads so it alienates all females on Graal, not a good trait and more of a reason not to be gold. Gold is a premo server and Zone is far from that. It is nothing more than a Futuristic ERA on a space ship. Sorry I don't see much imagination there. Sure I agree some will like it and some will not but as for holding a good amount of players after 30 days I don't see that happening unless they make some major changes in the Gameplay to hold interest other than what is there. It could be interesting but as it is the interest is very short lived because there is very little to do there. I give the server an "A" for effort but an "F" for conceptual concepts to hold interest for any period of time.

I liked the tile set, guns etc... EXCEPT THOSE FREAKED OUT BODIES I mean what kinda of thing has a paper thin body and a head like a watermelon? it would fold in half! Oh no.. it would fold in three, those massive abs will keep it from folding in two. The game play was pretty fun, but the gui is kinda messed, tho it got boring to me: get killin' things, shoot stuff, die, repeat.

I for one did not inspect this PW and the only one that did I know for sure of is Spark. Stefan liked it and thought it had potential, I agree the GFX are not bad but for my taste, ehh its not for me. But I don't judge PWs on whether I like it or not rather will the players like it and have plenty to do. Boredom is the worst enemy of any PW , my personal feelings on Zone don't mean squat if the Owners want it up and who am I to object to what they want? I want to see all Playerworlds do good because I realize the work that goes into one. I would like to see Zone add much to the PW to make it worthwhile going there to play. There is a lot they can do with a space theme , the ideas for it could be endless. So I hope they take advantage of that and make Zone much more than it currently is.
