WHAT ABOUT THE FACT YOU CAN TRADE GUNS?! THATS MADNESS!

I agree, I can't say I've played Zone that much but I used to sometimes go on when people were actually on and when I did play I enjoyed it.

I dislike now how much of the content is just ideas, concepts and scripts from Era. Not because I don't want Zone to be like Era but because I want Zone to just be like Zone, as I stated before I don't see the point on playing a server which just seems to be a rip-off of another server when I can play the actual thing. This isn't just directed at trading but just at a lot of the recent updates, these have brought in more players but to me it just seems like Zone is just becoming Era with 360 shooting. I'm talking about updates such as Gemini base, achievements, trade tables, over-priced guns, Dave's deliverys, Ship repairs and more. What I'm not saying is that Zone should just be Zone PC, I think rather than become just a futuristic version of Era it should evolve as it's own server.

100% agree.

I don't play Zone much anymore, but I got on a few days ago, and instantly was overwhelmed with a wave of "trade pls", "trading guns pm if interested", "lets trade hats when they add it", etc.

Not only can guns be traded, but the trading of hats and robots is being added as well.

In come the hordes of iEra players looking for a reskinned iEra!


Easter Egg: Say "ZERA" on iZone, your text will change to "Zone Rules!"

Tell me bruh, did it at least get somewhat better sometime after I left before it crashed and burned?

Nothing particularly "unique" per say, but there were a couple level "makeovers", the addition of tournament voting, the addition of Zone Coins (and the Zone Coin shop), a few item auctions for "super rare" items, the addition of trading, and a new base (Choros was removed, however).

You decide whether or not it got better :)

Aside from a needed currency that can't be bought, pretty bad.

Can't be bought, but can be traded! Along with everything else! Wait, my bad, food is banned!

Annnnnnd there goes my last bit of respect.

Selling Halloween banana. Is ultra rare melee, does 7.5 dmg. Pm offers

One of the good reasons I stop playing Zone -.-. Why play a reskin when I can hop on and play the original game?

Because zone is way different than era.

Hahaha. Nope.

You will be missed.

Zone 2012-2013

what the hell Zone has tables now?

Yup.
i can't wait until we can trade hats!

Zone is futuristic trade tables suit it no need to complain, everyone has wants in the game so why not let them exchange if you say items are rare and aren't being rare any more because they are being traded they still are rare because no more of those items are still being produced so they are still rare

You're missing the point. What was once a pure PvP server with little rest areas is now nothing more than a social game with a PvP mini-game. ZCs were a great addition to the game because it required players to actually work for this **** to get what they wanted. Now with this add-on, a person who has 4 minutes of time can just borrow Mommy's credit card, purchase 200$ worth of Gralats, buy all of the expensive **** and trade for these coins. It completely ruins the whole point of working for what you want and adds yet another similarity for comparison between iEra and iZera.

Yes I understand that I've been playing since release and seen how the game has changed. But some features aren't only needed on one server if the shoe fits why not were it

I don't understand, it is not bringing new players in. If iEra players wanted to trade, they would stay on iEra. If Classic players wanted to trade, they would most likely go to iEra as it has more rares and original content.

As soon as I saw the trading tables, I gave away my rippers, and all my other items. And I have quit zone, there is a huge amount of things wrong with Zone. RIP Zone.

There's nothing to trade anyways..
There was no good REASON to put this in effect.
Stefan obviously wanted a second Era for double the profit.
Now all of the Era guys will play Zone too, or BOTH, and the original players will leave.

You guys screwed up.


Feel bad.

k

you can trade guns, dances, zone coins, gani's, melee's, VIP items, various holiday items, and even hats possibly soon. Doesn't sound like nothing.

At first i was skeptical about the trade tables but they're fine. The player count has gone back up, and most seem to like them. I don't see a problem with them

This is because you're a filthy casual bruh. Zone to some was an actual server with skill and competition. This server is a horrible abomination that continues to take from Era. Tell me, what exaxtly sets Zone apart from Era? Aside from:

360 shooting
Jet packs

I'm drawing a blank.

Well no one is going to play a 100% pk server other than maybe a few people, who will leave when they realize they are the only ones playing and that 100% pk sucks.

A smart player dominates a dumb player with "skill"
Tactics are way more crucial to zone than era
Dofferent tactics
Guns behave different and can use these to your advantage
Ammo system isnt the same as eras
Grenade launchers actually lob grenades
Bikes that shoot
Not horrid p2w like era, zone still is p2w though
Classes
Gang system completly different
Bases are not close quarters dominate but provide a variaty of ranges
250 ammo (makes a massive difference)
Grenades default grab button
Hotkeys are automatic and free
Guns are used in zone way more than melees
Bomb spar
Graphics
Achivements rewards system different (it gives the user the amount of zc it says it does and isnt based off points like era)

Look, im getting really ****in tired of people saying zone is like era because it is NOTHING Like era, its almost as bad as cod to battlefield. If you tried to play zone like you did era, youre not going to have fun on zone. Im ok with trading items because it adds in more stuff to do and you can get things you never could get. But i am with cookie on this on about zone being a competitive server. Because it is still somewhat competitive and can easily be made incredibly skill based if weapons were properly balanced. Im getting really tired of seeing nothing but god damn rippers in bases and SEEING HOW GEMINI IS STILL NOT ****ING FIXED AND THAT WOULD BE THE MOST COMPETITIVE BASE. I wish they would make spring and CTF not squad based but an actual event.

360 Shooting
Jetpacks
Bomb Spar
Dusk Spar
Mech Spar
Side Scroller Planet
CTF
Robots
In Game Forums
Whiteboards
Classes
In Demand (not active right now, but its a weekly shop)
Planets
Player Chosen Seasonal Tournaments
Variety of Events

I could go into great detail on a few of these how they have tons of features that are 100% iZone. Now why don't you stop being so damn ignorant?

Not aiming for a second iEra, no one on the Zone staff team is. But era has some damn good features that Zone could use, and that Era is gladly giving to us, so why waste it? Plus most of these features have been/are being updated to work more with Zone.

No one would play a second iEra, they'd play the first. Thats why we aren't going that direction.

My point is that trading is a very insignificant feature. And if you think iZone is a replica of iEra because it has the same trade system and some of the same jobs then I don't know what to say. There are tons of game series out there that use the same features between their games. Might as well complain that we have the same profile system as era too, and didn't make our own.

Trading is a very significant feature, more significant than the original content you stated Zone has. I honestly couldn't care less at this point, like everything else, it'll blow over in a week. Original content is appreciated more than a copy, or a slightly edited version of something.

I believe we have a different opinion on what is significant content. In my opinion trading isn't even content, it is just a simple feature in the game.

Also trade tables now allow the trading of hats, "special" hats cannot be traded such as 1k Squad Hour hats and Pk Shop hats.

It's too bad you made it though, correct?
It justs seems like an aesthetically different level pack.

I'm assuming you've read nothing I've posted, haven't played zone for awhile, or are a troll.

Not gonna lie it is'nt the whole idea of trade tables that would bother me, its the fact that you can trade guns which is so stupid

Actually that's wrong. Stefan is on the stafflist and he wants a second iEra. I remember him forcing the LATs (including myself) to make a Post-Aypocalyptic iEra. Then he called the map off like a idiot at the last minute.

Not much different

Still not much.

As long as if there is an "open market" I'm ok, but We need some more planets and quests. Squad bases which involve boarding the other's ship and fighting through it's various passageways, capturing spawn points as you progress, and reaching the core(flag). New species and customizeable ships. Have the space map use similar concept to valkoria's map. :0 Bringing concepts from the past and improving upon them, but also introducing new content as well. "Zone Super Smash" is what I hope will come. :3

Don't act like Stefan didn't just want another valuable money maker.

I remember working on this, we were given a copy of the Era gmap to completely base the post-apocalyptic one off. I'm glad it was called off though.

Ya, but it was a pain in the arse plus we worked forever on it.

Yeah, I remember spending hours on it.

It's a hell of a lot easier to list differences than similarities when comparing any server with another. I don't dislike trading, it doesn't bother me that much. It's just the fact that so many ideas and features from iEra are being used on iZone, one or two would be fine but there's a lot more than that.

^^^
I would love to see Choros and Iricia be given their own themed shops and signature activities, and then maybe given a 'big base' like Gemini.

I dislike the trade tables. Why you might ask?

- Zone needs more things that are unique, and doesn't copy from iEra. The forum system, great! Bomb spar, great! Mech spar, great! Stop looking to iEra. Develop your own unique content like the forum system.

- iZone revolves around trade. iZone is still a great server, but with a low player count, I see a lot of sparrers and PKers at the trade tables. With the low playercount, you can't excpect much people doing other things.

Technically bomb spar isn't even iZone's content. Like I stated before, it's the exact same thing as Bomberman or whatever it was called when we still had that minigame server up. The server had a lot of games like poker, Bombermad (I think it was called Bombermad) and the classics like chess.

Just saiyan is all.

Everyone asks for unique gameplay


->gets a level pack

lol wasn't your argument about zone being like the other servers? Bomb spar is original content in any way you look at it. Its new to graal and it is fun. Even if some content is ripped it doesn't matter sometimes because it's fun.

Add hats also pl0x

They have hat trading

i thought we were comparing iera to iZone? not iZone to graal, because 90% of that list you made is comparing to all graal games, not just iera

you people kill my ****ing brain cells by your thoughtless posts

what the **** did this post transform into, jabba the hut's bedroom?
