Major spar update

Lynx · 12-21-2012

The PK arena or "spar" had now been updated. It is now shaped like a square, and the middle has been removed so it requires players to follow around to get to the other side, since there is no middle to walk through. Also, you can now only shoot through walls if you are point blank with the wall. Barrels have been added, and supply drop locations have been moved. This update personally enhances PK'ing on zone for me as there is more skill, and less spamming.
Thoughts?

Also, it is importand to note there is a new feature to switch weapons easily by holding on an icon then swiping left.

I personally don't like it. It is to big for the player count atm, until the active playerbase gets larger there is no point of having it that big. One upside to it is that walls finally block bullets and lazers. So basically I would make a smaller "Spar" arena until Zone gets a bigger playerbase, also rename it to PK Arena since it isn't even spar.

Understandable, but I think the playercount fits well. Sure, it was easier to get kills on the old one, but now it requires more skill. Players are more spread out and dont need to just fire bullets around everywhere to score alot of kills.

The other one was actually a far too small for even current amounts of players and wasn't that fun.

I actually watched the combat as I updated: I made it open/clear first and then introduced walls gradually. It became obvious that it is was much too small and was prone to spam fests.

Making it bigger has been a popular request too.

It's alot better now, exspecially with the walls the way they are now and the size of the area is perfect
