Medic shall have 20% more damage than 30%.. Using the weapon of a Medic has, the medic will gain 10% health in a 30% chance. Maybe?

Medics are suppose to be the weaker class, however, they have the ability to heal. So a speed increase and the .5 heal ever 5 seconds is reasonable. Having a medic do more damage is not a good idea as it would make it to over powered.

Remember we do have other classes so those as well should be discussed. I remember a thread somewhere on here that had tons of ideas about classes. New classes even maybe somebody can fine the thread and post it.

Like I said we are trying to improve Zone. So unless you have a valid reason for saying yes or no please just don't post.

no weapon upgrades are a bad idea. They are bad because zones gun balance is extremely fragile due to 50 health. One buff like this can throw off all the balance of the guns in no time.

This is a bit generic. Instead, what about this:

What do you think?

Thats interesting idea but im not fan of nerfing area of whats allready there(i.e medic lose 30% of damage ?? they already have less damage than commando etc... But the idea of each class having its own kind of unique weapon sounds great!

Medic is a support class and should not be as viable to PK with than a citizen or commando. They can still deal more damage than a defender. Though instead of having a % chance to heal him, I'd say a small 1square AoE heal around the medic

The whole point of nerfing and buffing is to add balance. Would you like to fight someone who's not only faster than you, but can also regenerate health while still doing decent damage?

There are short lasting buffs in the streamer and heavy laser, but you need to get a kill with it to activate.

yeah but they are the longest killing guns in their classes by far.

AP Pierces have it too

I never said to buff the damage of the medic. I said decrease by 10% of more damage from other players rather than 30%

yeah pirces take longer to kill than streamer, but its frenzy is no where near as good.

These aren't weapon upgrades. Whatever.
What if each class had their own perk, and you could only purchase and have one active at the same time?

For example, Commando deals one extra damage, but they could also purchase a perk that increases overall RoF. They would then both deal an extra point of damage as well as have a higher RoF.

Maybe you could purchase and keep perks, but you would have to switch them out at a building.

There could be universal perks (extra health, higher clip size, etc.), then there could be class-specific ones (robots have a higher RoF for instance).

Traits could also be a thing. They have a negative, but a positive. These can be activated along with your perk and class, so that's a good deal of customization right there.
Example: negate one damage of enemy fire, but you move slower.
Example 2: move faster, but you take an extra point of damage.

Some traits, perks, and classes could synergize very well with each other. The only issue is that some may be a little OP, so balancing them out would have to be a concern.

You could make a skill tree for each class. The skills would be bought with skill points. Skill points are obtained through missions. Missions 1-4 award 1 skill point and 5-8 award 3. The first skill would cost 1 skill point, and the cost would go up by 50% for each level of the skill tree.

I had list of some upgrades that could of been done over at the official forums, but that was with Zone PC in mind.
