Can we move away from guns please?

No because Zone is supposed to be the futuristic apocalypse that plunge surviving factions into war over resources. Not sunscreen guns and hats; go to Era or Classic for that.

I disagree with the hat thing, but a sunscreen gun? Really? Wheres the awesome futuristic action, where are the robots that can 3 shot you and wander the map, and where the hell is the actual war zone?? I noticed they have missions and all but... all that map space and all you can do on it is fly around and kill players.  

Idea probably would never happen cause of how it is now and with uploads etc..
but would of been cool if zone used the graal pc zone/kingdom style heads and bodies and would make zone feel alot more different/unique from the other graal's and more advanced in space.

You are correct. We are pretty much bound to keep this aspect the same or else we risk upsetting quite a few too many people.

I've added a cool animation when you get hurt, to make things feel juicer. I did originally make the whole screen flash red but I received feedback along the lines of "thanks for giving a portion of Zone epilepsy".

I'm hoping to add better bullet impact animations with particle effects too soon. This'll be topped off with a much cooler death animation I want to make it so that, even in subtle ways, getting a kill makes you feel awesome and is addictive.

There may or may not be a gun shop release very soon, which may or may not have some old Zone classics ;)

What about adding an option to have your screen flash? Disabled by default, but you can enable it in the options? While I also do miss the old heads and bodies; I do enjoy the ability to change your look like other servers. Old Zone bodies, heads, arms and legs should be used for NPCs with a mix of other player-made graphics  

The flashes didn't received a good feedback. Few complaints were found at Zone-Play

Hence an option. I'd like to see a blurred reaction when hit, with the intensity and length increasing with lower health.

It did also shake the screen a little but this screwed with spar focus. I might bring that back outside of spar.

The yellow flash was meant to be when you killed another player, a sort of victory effect.  

personally I play with no ani/gif's on cause just lags the game more for me, so none of these I would really want to use unless actually makes game look better/doesn't make more lag. (so should be an option for all these)  

Found out, asked questions to other people. They liked it so, you get my thumbs up!  

I'm now confused. Did they like the full screen flash or just the flash of red on the player?  

On the player. The screen is too distracting.  

Bwt another idea(not for poll.for now) that I thought of is to make everygun not do little bullets and to DO lasers/electrical styled fire/flames/ice or frost/etcetc bullets is so not futuristic like.  

Bullets = Era
Laser and Impulse Energy = Zone
