Weapons discussion.
 

There is not a lot of weapons right now in zone, but feel free to share thoughts and ideas about the current guns in zone and weapon suggestions for future guns to be made.

That big Enraged Rifle seems like the m4 in the early phase of iEra. The thing is though that the rifle is quick to being overused. Much like m4.

Nearly all weapons behave the same way. Grenade launcher is the only weapon that is unique right now. All guns are given traits as a "mega spammy" gun. There are slight differences between each other. The balancing isn't broken but guns that are more expensive feel like a mere upgrade. The guns could have different movement speed for some balancing. For example, since the "starter pistol" in zone has a slow bullet velocity and some spread, the user may need some extra movement speed to get closer to the enemies. A gun like the Enraged rifle has powerful damage and high bullet velocity. A big gun like that can slow down the user. A player carrying a pistol vs someone carrying a big gun = same speed.

It would be nice though to have other guns that feels different from the others. Perhaps a semi auto sniper rifle or a shotgun. Be creative. This is the futuristic setting where guns can be nearly anything with it's crazy technology.

One problem that is bugging me is the pathetic performance of the knife. It's much worse than era's starter knife. While in era it's not common to find yourself completely out of ammo. In zone, it's common. Especially if you're aiming isn't quite polished yet. The knife does low damage, really low melee rate and lots of freeze. The user is too helpless with no ammo. The knife hardly has a use. Only for killing laggers and freeing NPCs. The damage can be increased since the freeze rate is really long. (especially in zone where guns have no freeze rate)

Combat Knife used to be throw-able:(

I offered that but i was told no because they dont want a melee server :/ afew cool melees wouldnt damage anything i thought

The 5k rifle is by far the best gun as of now

And it hit hard, too.

lol i dunno izone have a view weapon such as grenade launchers and stuffs but i think if they have melee it would have more dudes

Grenade launcher is too useless

All I have to say is they should never charge more than 10k for a gun, and that all guns should be balanced and none should be better than another.

Bar haha

Why would you buy a gun if it was exactly the same? Feels like a waste. I think if you save up for it and buy it should get a better gun. Of course then there's those people that constantly buy gralat packs... >.> just saying.

If Zone didn't have gralat packs that would be solved, everyone would have to work for their gear, to bad that won't happen.

Grenade launcher lacks ammo. Maybe give Grenade launcher it's own ammo?

Personally I like it's ammo count. The PK is mostly spamming/avoiding spamming and the grenade launcher isn't like that. It requires people to be smart with their shots. I also don't think its necessarily meant to be a primary weapon but instead a support weapon.

He did not say they would be exactly the same he just said they would be balanced. (like call of duty, somewhat).

Oh ya. Balenced would be great. It would just be nice if a few were actually better. Maybe upgrade? Or attachments or something? s long as the differences were ridiculous. And sorry I'm not not a call of duty person, so not to sure how they are balanced :P

I just took 5 damage from a knife. Really? That's quite weak for a slow weapon at close range.
