It doesn't work good with Zone's style of gameplay.

This makes me sad though.

Wish I still had my iTouch, I'd play it. Will players on the iPhone/iPod Touches be able to play on the same servers as computer players?

Good luck. Its tough.

Also thank you all for your opinions, like I said all of this was just me spitballing what I think causes Zone to fail when it really is a wonderful game.

Is it me or are we always waiting for this


And lastly, I still disagree with all of you. Zone is a game that has more than 5 basic weapons. It is not like a FPS where you switch between your major/minor. It uses a class system. A medic should be able to go from Medkit > Jetpack + Syringe > Apprices all within the span of like 5 seconds, while in the midst of a spar.

I played using hotkeys and it was the some of the best times I had on Zone. Like I said, maybe make healing items + stuff like that unable to be hotkey'ed, but only weapons?

The only thing I have to contribute to this is, perma weapons should not be available for new players as perma weapons.

After reading these posts, it's come to my attention that there are some who care about the money, and some who care about the playercount. As Stephan said, "the Jetpack is probably one of the biggest sellers. Why remove it?" In my opinion, it's things like "fast classes" (Commando, etc.) being allowed to trials, permanent items in the shop like jetpack, that kept alot of the previous players online. I believe alot of people play games for a challenge, and with the way zone is now, the only challenges and rewards are A. Becoming a more skilled player, B. Achieving the rank Legend, or C. Achieving a highscore on the statistics. So perhaps, rather than worrying about the money, we should be worried about the playercount. With 30 players x10 dollars a months is 3600 dollars a year. 10 players x30 dollars a month is 3600 dollars a year. Maybe it's time to consider which is a better plan?

Anyone who thinks hotkeys should be part of zone is trash.

I agree hotkeys are bad, espescially when you have someone with a Photon, then when you lower him to 20 hp he flies away :[. I think Pistols should be allowed to be hotkeyed but not the heavier/melee weapons, or the medkits. This is simply because a quick pistol swap is very convienient when switching spar opponents, or when your Plasmasabre just isn't quite working because your opponent is running away and healing :noob:. Maybe we can make hotkeys convienient, rather than a way of life?

i think they had it worked out with the hand system, before hotkeys where you could hold 2 1h weapons or 1 2h weapon, hotkeys make it as if your holdingall the weapons in the hand system, if i explained that right, either way, they messed up with hotkeys.

The hand system is still around, it's just useless now :D. Maybe rather than having two hands you could have like, 3 slots? Maybe like depending on weight? Melee, Pistol, Rifle? A heavy weapon like a chaingun or a sniper could take up two... just spitballin...

Luffy has some very great ideas. But on the other hand supernanny is right. Nothn can just change like that. Maybe a vote can settle this.

This has been eye opening for me.
I just like to state, Stephen is probably the funniest Zone manager I've seen in awhile.
