Improve Zones Community
 

I went on Zone for the first time in a few months and the community is sitll absolute garbage. The whole community of zone revolves around hat chasers who all have formed some kind of 100 member friendship. At least for era, the population is so big every one can be part of there own group of friends and people. While on Zone you are nothing unless you’re a rich hat-chasing auction supremacist. The community of zone itself is just built up of foreigners and noobs and obviously the people I just described. There’s no “making your own guild” like on Classic where you can make a guild up of people who are interested in things you are and want to play with you. Zone has slowly died down for so long that the population consists of cycles of noobs and quitters and those “cool kids” who only stay because they’re better than every one else.

-But weeno, you sound awfully jealous. Just let them be.- The hat chasing high social class players aren’t the problem. They’re simply the effect of the problem which is Zone dying due to poor development.

-Lmao bruh it ain’t our fault we better than u gtfo and stfu- yea it’s not ur fault it’s the managements fault who died down and made so many players quit and leave you guys behind

-why do you care so much about a stupid game?_ I don’t. I’m just helping people who are considering downloading zone to not even bother. And I’m also just letting people who work with unixmad know you guys could make so much more money

You cannot improve what is dead

Let’s not forget how bad the zone forums are we have this guy closing off topic threads because “they were spam”

...

And now I present the representative of zonian’s taste for graphics. This guy later on asked me to copy and edi the hat. Another squad leader also told me to do so I’m not saying any names but the 1k hat he wanted was a fedora so if you see a fedora and it looks similar to another one...

There’s not much you can do to help this game. It’s been dying since the first map change.

Wait, isn’t the community about 100+ players daily. Mostly noobs, “rich kids” and people you afk at start? I see no way to improve that

Yea ur right there’s no way to improve the community. Improving the game is what improves the community and zone has barely done anything

Imo, iZone's been on a bad path since Stefan left Graal and Tashkin and PD* retired. After that management class was gone, there was no real push for any projects and updates of any worth, and to be honest, even under Tashkin there was a bit of a muzzle on any real improvements. It's what lead to the leaving of quite a few Developers.

Graal as a whole is more inclined to release items and quick money-grabs, rather than actually improve the base gameplay. Which is utterly idiotic since you'd think you'd optimize your revenue by actually providing a game worth playing lmao.

If anyone wants to be rich with cool af hats and other stuff by trading with me, contact me. ;)

This is the cancerous *** that keeps zone running

Geno is zone's last hope, if he leaves or something happens with him, zone might as well just implode with a bigger bang than the rate its degrading. Every month its just VIP or holiday items, no sort of improvement, and the players waste their time eating this mess up and getting gralats. They added a "Forgotten Relics" shop which sells overpriced melee weapons which are nothing but a downgrade of what an auction weapon would be. Its like the dark ages in zone and most of the ppl dipped out already. I already did as well.

(nothing towards geno just stating facts) Geno doesn't make the graphics, levels, sounds or ganis so I'm not sure why he'd be zone's "last hope" just saying.
Not too sure if you have played a lot, but it's safe to say that zone is one of the easiest servers to get a lot of money on, and with the recent outburst of people afk graalium farming (some what patched) lots have been able to get millions of gralats. You say they are overpriced for a "downgrade of what an auction weapon would be" what does that mean? you want them to be as good as auctions for 55k gralats when auctions are 1) rare and 2) costed like 400k-600k gralats. I understand things might not seem to be going your way but you're complaining about the wrong things lol

Well from my perspective, the fact that auction weapons are superior is already the reason why everything is going downhill. Every pro uses auction weapons or rippers. Occasional rail and alien users. And then rare noobs who use shop guns. There’s like no diversity or balancing. So with how auction melees are superior, having these new melees with such expensive prices is useless if they’re not considered impressive. They’re not even worth showing off with how only 200 ppl play

Nobody will save zone by making GFX, levels, SFX or ganis. Zone needs good coders and managers. Levels/SFX/ganis are pretty irrelevant at this point. GFX matter, although Zone requires an entire new style, not just a halfway skilled pixel artist to make cool looking guns and hats. Zone needs an entire new look that's appealing, and ideally should just dump 99% of the current hats/items because they're ugly and ruin the aesthetic appearance of the game.

The 2 most important things for Zone are coders and managers. Based on everything I perceive that seems to still be ongoing in Zone, it has neither. The game was run into the ground. Not sure how long it will take for people to realize that it has already hit rock bottom. Zone is beyond repair at this point. Everything about it is broken, from leadership to graphics to combat to activities to basing and pvp. It's a cluster ****. If zone will ever be what it had the potential to be, it must be scrapped and remade from the ground up by competent leaders.

That is why Zone is a waste of time and everyone who still has faith in it should give it up now.

55k isnt that expensive considering to buy an auction melee you have to pay like 300k graalium (3 million gralats) and people dont even sell so these new melees are far from useless if its a fraction of the price with nearly somewhat similar stats.

The problem is they’re worth nothing in pvp. I can easily dominate with pink katanas that costs 7500g

Idek what to say other then this is what people on zone even cares about. A squad gets a hat and players go back to sleep

They tryna drain what they can out of whats left of the game lol

Let’s get some Fs in chat for Zone 2013

Zone has literally been the go-to ser er for 1k hat farming for years now. Basing is a joke, and the 1k hats are even worse because half the time they're stolen or edits from era hats. Zone's a joke. When it's own staff and management can't take the game seriously, you know the game needs to die.

This quote from batman honestly represents zone and my relationship with it so ****ing well.

Bruce Wayne: Why didn’t you just kill me?
Bane: Your punishment must be more severe.
Bruce Wayne: Torture?
Bane: Yes, but not of the body. Of the soul. I will build you and Gotham up with hope and then destroy you. Hope is really the key to torture. Gotham will build to a point of joy and then be wiped from the map.
Bruce Wayne: You are a madman.
Bane: When Gotham is ashes, then you have my permission to die.

EH, Nothings changed then.. :giggle:

TIME FOR ANOTHER RANT
Zone has THE worst GFX community
People on zone have the WORST taste in graphics.

I’m not even talking about the admins here.
THE PLAYERS on zone that do GFX are a complete disgrace to the overall GRAAL GFX COMMUNITY.

The Zone Gfx community are like North Koreans. THEY ARE BRAINWASHED AND FOOLED BY THEIR SURROUNDINGS. They think a flaming wings gmask WHICH HAS BEEN MADE FOR 20 OTHER SQUADS is cool. I’m not saying I’m better but I’ve seen it first hand, NO ONE likes the smooth cartoonish style. They all prefer the dark gritty repetitive style. Literally every server and its people have adapted that gfx style. EXCEPT for zone.

Look at the shops,EVERY THING LOOKS UGLY. All those good gfx admins are GONE. Hatchasing is still a thing and EVERY ONE WANTS THE SAME HAT.

Like I said, I have experienced it first hand. I’ve tried making hats for squads and they always end up saying “I like it, but change the style and try to make it look more like _______’s hat.”

And the “pro” people are ignorant and expressive . “The cartoonish style is ugly. . _______ makes better hats.” Yea and all those other hatmakers make the sad looking hats too

Did I mention there’s a bunch of ppl who talk like they’re from era? “U mad dumb bruh stfu lmfao admins are **** man**** this game”

This is what I mean when I say people don’t appreciate actual creative gfx. That galaxy hat is mine. Yes I know the hat I made isn’t actually that good but the fact that people would rather pick an overused shogun flaming gmask and call that *** good makes me want to chop my hand off. Zones a complete *** hole now especially in the gfx community. It’s sad cause people take advantage of the small community to upload their *** hats and hatchase. There’s hatmakers who easily got 15+ 1k/2k hats just cause they’re like one of the 3 people who even make squad hats and unfortunately they all suck

Well if theres no creativity thats what you get. Zone is a community of Greys run by bigger Greys that oppress the Rainbows aka the creative people. Thats what zone is: A Grey world with a handful of Rainbows who want to help the game, promote creativity, and overthrow the staff. But you can't do that when all the greys are excusing the higher ups for their laziness and lack of creativity and totally ignore that the guy whos supposed to be running the game is working on another game and never gave a **** in the first place.

It just happened again. Look at these kids. They’re literally copying and pasting hats from classic and editing gmasks and wings on them. It can’t get anymore pathetic

Ok but who’s Alessia?

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! :P
