Destructible objects and get rid of ammo depletion
 

Im just wandering, if zone could make cover objects (sandbags fences those boxs etc) destructable? Whenever i go on planets like conquest all i see is people hide behind the sandbags and gates, i was thinking, you guys could make it so that the cover like those could have like 100HP and every time you whack it with the wrench you repair it by 10hp. Im noticing that if some one is behind cover, not only is it impossible to kill them from the front, but its also incredibly hard to take them out since they can just hug the cover.
I was thinking that once a cover has been destroyed, it takes 30 seconds for it to respawn.

Second thing i want to bring up is ammo depletion. As many people that are iera oldies like me, know this horror. when you select a weapon, it depletes the amount of ammo you have by its clip (250-232). In era you could just counter this with unlimited ammo. But in zone theres no way to counter this. If your like me and switch weapons a lot to adapt to the situation, its very aggravating that every time you switch weapons your ammo is depleted and you can't stay in the fight longer, this also just kills the grenade launcher. With you only having 10 shots and a clip of 6, most of the time i only get maybe 2 shots off before i have to switch weapons and then when you switch back to the launcher it has 0 ammo in it. Can this issue please be fixed? its hands down the most annoying thing in zone.

Agreed!

thanks for speaking out <3

yes pls

^Oh god xD

more like battlezone 2142

they essentaly already have battlefields conquest on iciria and choros so might as well follow through with the warfield themes

+rep, made me chuckle

That reload is annoying. I know exactly what you mean. You guys should fix this, pronto!

Agreed! We probably won't have unlimited ammo much longer :(

Oh god, when you said wrench I thought we had to repair sentries and sh**.
Erectin a-
Spy sappin ma sentry!
NOooo!

Could somebody explain to me exactly what happens. How do you do this and can it be replicated? Please know that when you equip a weapon it automatically reloads.

When the weapon slot tag at you pull out for hotkeys is equipped

You noobs are too damn soft. This is how Zone has always been. Even on PC cover was an annoyance, but we found ways around it. As for depleting ammo; tough it out. It's most likely that you try to switch with your clip 3/4 full anyways so you auto-reload when you switch

And Zone came way before Battlefield 2+...

Tap your ammo to reload. Great idea! Hope your unlimited ammo runs out soon so that you can trust an admin advise and keep tapping your gun icon to auto-reload it to spam more bullets and have ammo going to waste quicker.
Yeah sure...

ok download era, you have 100 rounds, then select a weapon, switch to another weapon, then back to the weapon you were using. You will notice that your ammo count will stay at 100. In zone, select a weapon, go to another weapon, go bact to your weapon, you will notice that you do not have your 250 rounds, instead you have 232. Thats the ammo depletion, very very very aggravating.

Not really. If you've used a PBP or some sort of different gun.
Like let's say bar-PBP, first ammo is 100, then it depletes to the amount PBP took.
100-16=84 ammo.
While zone is wasting more than that cause it's bullets store more than what others have.

No ones ever really brought attention to it as it's not very hard to get ammo in zone

this was bought to the era staff and getting ammo in that game is even easier and they still fixed the issue.

I dunno how powerful the mobile servers are, but from all the fuss devs make about minimizing scripts, I suspect that making too many destructible objects would put too much of a strain on the server.

I'm pretty sure the servers are powerful enough to handle that.

Well it going from 250 to 232 is the reload. So you are saying every time you change your weapon that is going down? So you set a weapon once it goes to 232 and then change to another weapon it goes down another 18?

its everytime you tap the hotkey. you don't have to change anything just tap it

Just tap your gun repeatedly and you'll see...

Yeah this is what he's talking about, but it's supposed to be there.

Not if you switch from a gun to another item, then back to a gun again.
But if you switch from one gun to another then the ammo depletes by the number of the two clips subtracted. Keep in mind, era has only one ammo type while zone has multiple.
Yup if you change back to that weapon you were using. Nade launcher is a good example, i switch from gun a that has 200 shots to gl has 10 shots, fire a clip off (6). Then if you switch back to gun A ammo depletes to 172, then you go back to nade launcher and you have no ammo, so you switch to gun A and that depletes too 154.
Thats the ammo depletion thing.

Then blame the people who wanted make their ammo to be deplete because "oh! Zone has ammo lying everywhere. Why not make the ammo deplete when tapping the gun icon because it's easy to get ammo."
Why 250 is max when some other guns has high fire rate/low freeze shooting?
That makes the guns ammo to a wastage. Idc if ammo's are everywhere- I care about the guns doing a high damage.

i just don't understand why you lose 18 shots when you equip a gun, you should still have those 250 rounds, but 18 of them are in the gun, not it mysteriously vanishing

On pc though you dont have large amounts of people hiding behind cover and then by normal reactions, you get behind cover then you have this mexican standoff where everyone is behind cover invincible to the front spamming eachother.
This is the annoyance and this would shorten andmmake those dumb standoffs much shorter.

How much ammo you have and the damage on your gun have no correlation. So caring about then guns doing a high damage isn't relevant. Anyways I still don't see why it matters, what are you doing where you can't find ammo to get? It drops in all of the PVP planets: conquest, iricia, choros, spring, and showdown. If you're doing the skybases the ammo spawns inside all of them. If you're pking in sky world and you can't find ammo? Well then I just feel bad for you. When you spar your ammo is auto restocked to 250 same with showdown. Maybe it's just you guys because I never have ammo at a max of 250. It's not that big of a deal on regular guns but I could see it being taken off of the grenade launcher or lava/goonadier

VIP has unlimited, non VIP players have a clip.
Easy fix.

No that will make everyone go to VIP and no one will leave to resupply

People that have been VIP for over a year.

still no. You should not be able to pay 7.5k a month and get a huge advantage basing by never having to leave the base to resupply ammo. thats pay2win.

I don't see why we need a clip.

This

It's energy, so why does it need boxes of ammo.

the there will be infinate spam and firefights would be boring af as everyone would just continusly spam and mexican standoffs would last longer than they already do now.

its energy cells, key word cells. If there was no cell then the energy would be everywhere in the air and unuseable.
