It's similar to how it works in Halo.

i agree on the idea of prevent base laming, but i dont agree on how it's done,
i would want to go and kill the enemys that are laming my base,
i think there should be a limit on how meny enemys there have to be for away spawning.
1 enemy and u get away spawned is kinda stupid, dont u think?
either that or give us a option where we can choose.

nice work btw.

Halo and Zone have a similar futuristic idea, but Zone is far different. Ignoring the insanely low average playercount Zone has, I don't really think people try to go after the bases.

Well, I'm personally trying my best to change things around, there are quite a few things we still have planned and some things I've made already that haven't been released yet. What's important now is to work on the gameplay so that players will want to come play on Zone again. We are looking deeply at what works for other games in hopes of incorporating similar concepts for this server; just have some patience, things won't change overnight.

These updates were released because as others have stated already, they were long overdue. The bigger updates are still being worked on.

Idk about other people, but i stopped playing Zone when the gameplay got repetive, so idk how u can change that. Adding more worlds won't do anything unless it is a really fun mode. In addition to that, most people don't want to buy gold just to play zone. And lastly, I never will go back to zone as long as players can buy weapons and such with real money. I dislike games like that incredibly. It just means the rich kids get the better weapons.

Anyways, on topic now, I think you should be able to spawn at your friendly bases. Thats how every first person shooter does it most of the time, and it works out better.

And 1 final note to help teamwork and then maybe help playercount: Make it where players can form squads and can see each other on the map and maybe have some type of benefit, such as being able tp spawn on team leader or something.

I havent been on zone in a long time, so idk if any of this is still relevant

They should release squads and allow this to happen, that way people will have a great reason to tag up (:

[Nataxo]

This update should've been done months ago...

Nice anyways

[MiniOne]

They should be allowed to chose where to spawn, home base, b1 and etc but your team has to have control of that base.

Is it me or did Gambet just do more work in 1 Week than Dan did in 2 months? :]

[Gambet]

I'll see what I can pull together regarding the choosing what base to spawn on bit when I get the chance.

[Ravenblade1979]

about time you implimented this stefan. I was voicing it when I was doing dev work and hosting there.

Too bad this didn't come out about 5 months ago when people still played zone and base lamed.

lol true.
now ther is not enough players to base lame

[anubis_wing]

Bout time they had something like this. Although it could be most unfortunate to spawn infront of enemies.

Yah but the other way, they would always spawn infront of enemies. Now it's less of a chance, and if you do spawn with an enemy there, it will most likely only be 1 or 2 people.

Now let's add something that will attract players...
