Squad Hat Update
 

Squads now must reach 2000 base hours before 15 members receive a special hat!

Squads that already received a hat at 1000 hours will not receive a 2000 hour hat.

i feel like this was a really poor idea if zone wants to get the playercount up at all.

It's pretty easy to take a lot of bases if you have enough people. Iricia and Choros aren't very populated, and some people there don't even know where they are. You could easily take 4-9 bases or so.

If you have an actual squad, which most new players (people we really need to appeal to) dont have.

It's very easy to get hours on Zone. Just owning all of Iricia will get you 1.2 minutes per 1 minute. So in 1 hour you are going to get 72 minutes. It is very easy to control all of one planet. Regardless, squads that are 200 hours away from getting the 1k hours will get the hat. (Doing this just to be nice.) Squad with more than 200 hours to go will need 2k hours.

you guys forgot that basing isnt that easy anymore holding bases is way harder now

Its actually really easy.

Also, people are really gonna leave the server just because they have to put more effort into it?

I haven't actually tried it but from I what I see its a never ending annoying battle. Like a battle at spring that lasts an hour but worse. Could be wrong. Too lazy to try lol

You would make more people happy if you didn't give Instinct the 1k hat (joking)

I like that they made towering more like Classic and Era :)

Love this idea. It's very generous to give 800-999 hour people one last chance. Also, this will cut down those horrid "tower takers" (hat chasers) from iClassic. I'm lovin it.

Yet another poor decision from Zone, when is this crap gonna end?

Not poor dude. Not poor. It just Cuts back on Hat Chasers. At least people will do it. On Classic, no one would tower if this happened.

Maybe :3 Other squads will be happy for that (joking)

No...the faster they get it...the faster they'll be gone.
