Changes Zone Needs
 

These are only a few, and I figured I'd bring them up again since there's new management who might actually do these things now. These are far from all the problems or things that need changed, but these are the ones I thought of in the first 20 seconds of me coming on Zone today.

1. Get rid of the kill streak room and statue. It might appear cool, but it's not. Especially from a former ZP's perspective. The only streakers are either boosters, or boosters... Well, the second type of booster is the person who runs around the map and kills newbies, then runs away or into a building whenever anyone even slightly legit starts shooting at them. Either way, it encourages poor gameplay and needs to go.

2. The casino... Oh, the casino... Just remove it from the map. It's a straight rip-off of Era. Sure, Era didn't invent casinos, but that hardly fits Zone's theme. In fact, it doesn't at all. If management would like to keep the slot machines or utilize them in any fashion, I'd be for it. It shouldn't be in a casino though, and it should definitely not look like a real slot machine. The entire image should be redone into some futuristic hologram - that's considering the slot machines are even being kept.

3. Spring. That's all the arguing I should need when it comes to this. It's a cool idea. Not sure how it really fits Zone's theme, the way it's laid out at least. Maybe if it was incorporated into Nature planet (which would be nice to have back!) then it could fit much better. Still, spring itself needs to be removed. Spring towers should come back, since that much better fits the basing gameplay. While you're doing that, just delete PVP coins that you get from Missions, as they're pointless (literally, if Spring is removed) and are really a terrible idea to begin with. Incase you don't know, PVP coins are used to attack a base (Spring), and are only gotten through missions. That makes it so bases ( now only Spring) don't have to be defended unless a guild attacks, in which it alerts you. Makes it much easier to chase 1k hats without doing any work.

4. PK Arena. This needs to be added back (if it's not on the map right now) and it needs a bot-alert every hour or 2 hours that alerts all players with event PMs on to go there, and the top PKers get a gralat reward or something. There should also be a billboard by it that shows the top PKers of the day (or round, week, month, whatever). Jetpacks would obviously need to be disabled, and the walls need to be protected from people coming in on the outside and shooting to the inside.

5. Speaking of boards displaying leaders.... Showdown needs that (shoutout @Gricey). It should show the people who have won the most showdown matches. This will create actual competition. It can reset every day (or week, or month, or total, or whatever).

6. Fishing. That just makes no utter sense whatsoever. We are in the sky, yet can swim and fish in the sky. I'm all for the job. Maybe make a portal that takes you to that ugly fake beach, call it a simulation, and allow fishing there. It would be a shame for that job to go to waste, but it really doesn't fit at all on Zone's map. Might as well move the Fishing shack there too, and that can be converted into some summer oasis if you can get water and sand that wasn't made from Microsoft paint by a 10 year old. (If you think that was harsh of me, you clearly don't remember what the beach looked like).

7. Missions. Major overhaul. Missions need an entire "shop" made after them. Honestly, I've talked about this a lot, and I wrote my idea in-detail on my comments in Zone (/opencomments ppideas) you could just use the find button to search the word mission to quickly find which numbered one it is, and if someone could post that rather than me posting it all again, that would be much nicer.

8. Move-to-Respawn. Pretty much says it all. Tashkin implemented this after my relentless nagging of him to, but he made it with a button, and it was all bugged. So it got removed. I want it back, this time without a button, and actually working correctly. :) Basically just like classic. If you die, you have to click the move pad in order to respawn. This will severely reduce boosting off afk accounts, and would make boosting off your own account more difficult, or at least much more annoying.

I may update this more if I discover more major/minor issues from the 20 seconds I'm on Zone each day(ish). You all can add your own.

I have some ideas but it would change the game completely

I already had the casino removed a few days ago. Nobody used it and the system was unfair. It's gone.

I'll get back on the other points when I have some time later :)

Oh, great!

I just remembered this, and I loved it. The "In Demand" shop was good, and should be brought back. I'd actually think it would work out better if it was executed similar to classic's booths in Destiny. The shop would have items that had a limited stock, and would get sold out, and would alternate with other items every so often. That's probably an idea for after Zone gets back on track, though.

I would honestly would make zone into a game like warframe for Destiny but put a twist on it. Games that are remanded on to mobile are actually pretty cool. But then again I have several different options for zone but well they are kinda hard and well they basically say make a new server.

I think most people want Zone to go into space, rather than this "skyworld" we currently are on. Space would just be much cooler, and that's what it originally was.

So your saying maybe something like no man's sky because we can't have a game take completely in space but and futuristic game can't take place on a planet forever. I see a possible option maybe a Xenoblade Chronicles x part no man's sky part warframe part graal

No, I'm thinking more like Wall-E/Star Wars, but with space travel to other planets. It basically would be a spaceship instead of an open skyworld, and it would be darker since you're in space. Basically like that, but the tileset would look similar to the movie, Tron. That's what Alex was going for when he was supposed to have had someone making the new tileset. That's also what Tashkin. went for, except he didn't go the Tron-route, just spaceship and planets. That's what I assume (and hope) the new tileset will be like.

HOLY **** KENOVO WE DID IT!!!

It would be amazing and dreamy if zone would just fix up every single bug and glitch there is. Like zone is so buggy and if we just removed/fix them all it would make me more happier than getting a comment on my gfx thread

Ty for shoutout aha but yes this! and then eventually could have different maps(diff planet ts) for it would be cool.


@other ideas perfectly spot on there is alot that needs scrapping/renewing it seems like zone fell into the that server has this so we should have it..that made stuff sway away from theme, I'm just hoping the tileset eventually gets done and fits more into either space theme or futuristic/advanced type of thing then stuff can be more moulded around that-Also maybe stuff to go off the ts colour palette -Ik Ol's stuff have pretty majority of there hats/guns etc using same colours.

HOLY WORDS...

Changing the start back to normal so it is less ugly is a great start. Whoever changed it needs to be slapped. I swear, the staff team makes SO many dumb decisions.

speaking of change. Can someone PLEASEE lower the death time. Its so long even if its like .5 a second. Once I'm dead and the Rambo is at 300 it gets taken down by the time I get up. Also, this also brings me to another problem which is when you're 1v1 with someone on a base and u kill the person and then some other enemy goes on the base and both win it.. kinda annoying if you ask me
