Don't be so harsh, they do most of the scripting right? Scripts are pretty much the main course of a update. Besides, we have alot of everything but scipts from what I know.

I'll ask Dan to post what Dan is doing, but it isn't my place to reveal what Dan is working on or what his progress in his work would be. Only Dan can best judge where Dan is on his work, and if Dan wants to tell the position he is at he will do so. Dan can reveal what Stefan is doing as well if he wants, but Stefan is also scripting globally so Dan does quite a bit of the work I believe.

I would also like to remind you that some of the updates are supposed to be surprises, so it isn't as if any members of the development team would post what they are doing because that may ruin part of the surprise.

The phrase Staff-Only might explain a bit of this as well.

@Deas Well when I said 'Progress' I was more intent on finding out what new events, weapons and etc were going to be done, not really GFX.

Yea. Unfortunately, it's being handled like that on Zone. The outcome are only half-decent graphics and mostly ****ty levels.

Hey I know my iricia what ****ty lol.

Anyways when updates are ready they will generally announce it. I know it would be nice for people to hear they are working on stuff but please be assured that there is always stuff going on and being updated and tested or even made and tested on debug.

Admins · #8 03-18-2009, 01:05 AM

The only reason I made this thread was cause a large amount of players believe that no progress is being made on zone. This was to prove them wrong.

Ravenblade1979 · #13 03-18-2009, 03:58 PM

Its not a matter of proof. Its all a matter of when they want to release the info because something may come up where the new thing being made had to be scrapped and there goes people's hopes.

What Minione is asking is reasonable knowing zone's past update history. Zone barely had any updates at all before. It's nice to know that things are progressing well and it should be released soon or might take some more time.

MiniOne · #15 03-19-2009, 07:17 AM

I just believe zone players should be informed about whats happening, since we have a new developer who was hired purely for zone.

Well as far as I'm aware there have been no new developers hired. I was saying new out of my confusion at MiniOne saying Zone has a new developer just for Zone. As far as I'm aware Dan has been around quite a while. Therefore the only instance that would make sense would be if a new developer had been hired.

Confusion? More like clueless IMO.

Tell you the truth, They need more scripters who actually know what Zone needs.

I don't see how that's clueless.

I doubt any decent scripters would want to work for something as horrible as zone.

MiniOne · #21 03-20-2009, 07:33 AM

Well 'New' should have been changed to newest, sorry it was a typo.

He's clueless on whose hired or not. Now go back to Combat Arms midget.

Dan · #23 03-20-2009, 11:05 PM

Ah, we are sometimes very wrapped up in working on the new updates on Zone. As Stefan said, we are working on creating the squads and there is more in the works. Expect more soon, but we will keep it a suprise

whats the point of the poll on what you should work on first, if you just disregard it, option C is the winner. the majority of players want that update and also agree that squads will be an epic failure.
But what do i know about logic

Squads will fail since Zone's player count sucks

I'd much prefer getting Zone/ Graal's playercount up before instating a system which needs playercount.

Did Dan create that poll? No. Regardless option A still has 9 people who voted for it. Option B is being worked on and it only has 5 votes ;P.

The majority of players want Squads and think their a great idea. Though with the current playercount now isn't the time to be releasing them.

Players shown what they wanted the most, Your giving them something else.

Here's what both of you fail to see. Not all zone players participate in zone forums. That poll is as accurate as asking someone that has never eaten jello what the texture is like. Realy, if you want a real answer i'd set up a voting system somewhat like Zodiac has, though the answers could be rigged.

I'm not giving anyone anything. I'm not scripting any of the updates.

Strongly agreed.

MiniOne · #31 03-21-2009, 09:37 AM

Having a poll on what to do first was smart but at the same time idiotic since its obvious the majority of players would prefer a new event/system/etc rather then the balancing of guns, which if they were smarter, would have been .chosen

I think he meant he doesn't control what gets scripted.

So now zone tries to do what the players want? Last I recall doing what the players wanted kept the current players and chased away others.

Do what you did in the past. Do what the players don't want first. Do what might actually attract players and give them the satisfaction of being able to dominant other players.

shows what you know, in game the mention of the local guild update is followed by a ripple of the word fail.

MiniOne · #36 03-22-2009, 01:26 AM

Do what will improve the server the most dramatically first and will pay off best in the long run, then after that put in a few fun updates like squads along the way.
