Zone is on the Uprise - 3

kenthefruit · 08-08-2013

I agree, Zone obviously has content Era has, but you can't blame them. Era has been around much longer, therefore they've basically taken and implemented ideas onto the server. Then Zone came around, with original ideas, and ideas from Era. I'm saying Zone should keep what they've already implemented from Era and change it around so it's original for the server.

Bot Events, found on both Era and Zone. Zone shouldn't use the exact scripting Era does, they should change it, make it original and still using the Futuristic Space Theme.

Events, almost exactly the same events as Era. Chance. Same look different tile set. SEPERATE yourself from Era's. Classic has a different looking, and working Chance. Why doesn't Zone? Although, I do enjoy their current Event House. Everyone can join without having to 'scope' or opening the door for 50. And Classic has event doors they place and give a hint on where to find it.

What Zone needs is to improve upon the things that make it better than Era and Classic. Missions are an amazing idea, but all of them are boring and repetitive. If the missions on Zone were better, I could see the playercount being well over 1000.

This is the reason I sort of dislike ship repair. I think it was a great idea to give players a faster method of earning graalats, but I don't think it was right to make a game system as interesting as missions obsolete in order to do so. Why would anyone go through the effort now to mine in and complete missions when they can earn money so much faster and easier by doing a repetitive menial task like ship repair?

They should expand upon missions but also increase the amount of graalats you get from them. Remove the counter-intuitive system which lowers the amounts of graalats player get from missions as they level up as well - all this does is make people stop doing them. This will help bring missions back up to central feature status of Zone as opposed to an obsolete novelty people do a few time before they learn they can make money faster in other ways.

Zone has teleporters, Era gets teleporters.
Zone has flamethrower, Era gets flamethrower.

Look at Classic. Supposed to be medieval and ancient, yet we have TVs? Along with other stuff on Classic, it doesn't stay to the theme.

This is not a very fair comparison. iEra did not have 2 senior servers to compete with. When iEra came out they stay there because they liked guns or the modern feel, etc. that iClassic could not offer. Other iPhone servers will have trouble getting a large player count because players will be strung out across all servers, with barely any new comers.

I can predict delteria will do better then zone. Zone is the exact same as era.

It's funny, because all these things Zone is 'taking' from Era aren't entitled to Era. Ex: Era isn't the ONLY server that gets to have an EC Shop, they may have been the first to have such a thing, but they do not own the idea. It can be remade and fixed around to be original on a different server.

Jester wasn't talking about that... Many servers have an EC shop. Jester was talking about stealing stuff and reskining it to suit zones feel.

@allpeoplewhoarebasicallysayingthatZone is a reskin of era.

Have you guys considered that maybe era has most of the things someone can come up with? I mean, they're both shooters. It's like comparing Halo to Battlefield or COD. Just because Battlefield has a machine gun doesn't mean Halo can't use one too. Btw, it's kind of hard to come up with stuff IMO. I mean, 'the future' hasn't even began yet, at least Era and Classic have something to base themselves on.
And don't give me the "They can use their imagination!" crap. Aside from the plot line, legit every Sci-Fi movie has the same weapons/transportation/aliens/whatever else. If you're hating on Zone, you may as well hate on Star Wars.

Please don't put a Graal server on the same level as Star Wars.
