Not enough though. Zone rarely hits a playercount higher then 20. We need to change that before thinking about doing your idea.

It's nothing like it was before.

I've noticed. I'd like your idea more if there was some reason for these players to actually stay on Zone.

Exactly but in my opinion new zone players will quit because they will get base lamed all the time.
That's why we need win points on iricia

Win points are going to do what?
Stop people for maybe a week or two, you need a broader idea which will stop laming for a long period of time. E.g. Spawn at random spots, spawn where team mates are and etc.

How about a head hunt game? You have one person per team as commander and you have to target that person, first team to eliminate the opposing teams commander wins

That will mean team work is necessary if you have a team of 5+ unless you got some freak playing ><

Spawn points should be moved all over the bases.

Something like the AB

Get lamers out of the spawn point ? And then give them really hard objectives and weapons that take about 2 months to get. Also make it so they need to take a certain amount of bases per week to keep this weapon... etc
There's so much to do with that idea.

People will realise how much fun iricia can be if you play the game :S

2 months?

go for like 5-10 months, or even a year+, ridiculously hard weapons to get.

ZERU HAVES A GUD IDEA TO INCREASE PLAYERCOUNT!

LET'S PUT SOMETHING FUN ON ZONE (if possible?)

If you havn't noticed, we've been trying to accomplish that.

Good job, you figured out the joke!!!

MiniOne · #26 05-28-2009, 07:42 AM

If you make accomplishments too hard people just won't bother, but if you make it to simple then people get over it fast, if you put it between the two, people just do either. I personally think random spawn spots on a map, or spawning upon captured bases would be the best idea.

Perhaps some way of choosing which base you wish to spawn on would be the best solution (assuming your team owns the base of course)?

Precisely what I was thinking, just like on most gun games where you capture bases then can select your spawn spot and etc

could reduce laming, possibly.

I'm sure this would some what work....

If only they put the Lifetime classic plan back on the store...

perhaps you could spawn at a captured base, make capturing a base more of a challenge than just stepping on an unoccupied base, maybe change the bases, so there bigger and more suited for combat, heres my idea.

to capture a base, you have to stand on it for 15-30 seconds, but if theres another enemy on the base, the timer will stop, lets say a storm rider is engaging a sweep base.

the storm rider stands on the base for 10 seconds when a sweep spawns there, the timer stops and they fight, if the storm rider wins, the timer continues to go up, if the sweep wins, it goes down.

This would make capturing bases more of a challenge, and spawn laming incorparated as part of the game, so it wouldnt become spawn laming, more of a "hurry and get back to the base before they capture it" situation, i think everyone wins.
