'17th Parallel: Fast-paced action. Fight for enemy territory while protecting your own' ROFL, RIGHT! Can anyone please change the zone's description? I'll tell you why. Wednesday, 24th of August, 2004 I enter 17th, noticing the new bounty things. Because I was really bored, I started playing pub. After a few minutes, I notice that at least half of the players (there were about 40 players) was just running around, greening so their bounty could get higher. I spot a warbird and fly towards him. I fire a couple of bullets, so he warps (don't worry, I won't use names, Acid). I think I flew around for about 2 more minutes, then specced because I got bored. Fast-paced action? RIGHT! Friday, 27th of August, 2004 I got a bit bored of NFS Hot Pursuit 2, so I launch SS. I enter 17th Parallel and have to download a map. Sigh, yet another map change. But why? Why do you still keep changing the map? Are you guys so bored that you need to build maps to put up 1 day and then let it fade away? What is the point of this? You never use a single map that you put up. You just run some stupid poll that says 'do you like the new map' and then completely ignore the poll result. Or are the results so negative that everyone says 'No, we don't?'. Anyway, the donwload ends, and I enter in Javelin. 20 players in the zone, only 6 playing. I fly around, looking for enemies. Ah, there goes Raem. I chase him, fire bullets at him. He runs away, greening and greening and greening, until he warps away. Rofl, you have got to be kidding me. I asked myself 'So this is the new 17th?' I really don't hope so, because otherwise, it's just sad. Before the 'attempt' to attract more players by completely ruining the zone settings, 17th was cool. Everyone had fun in 17th. Javs were hunting down Lancasters, Warbirds were turreting with Levi's, Terriers were chasing the weasels, and the weasels were killing the Javs, if not killed by the Spiders or Sharks first. Look at 17th now: players crying that the Jav is overpowered, A Leviathan with a portal, the Weasel that is nothing but annoying, players running around, greening and warping. I have played 17th for over 3,5 years, and have always loved this zone. The leagues were cool and the settings were cool. But now, after 3,5 years, I have lost interest in this zone. If this doesn't change, I'm gonna quit this zone when TT-League ends. 17th was a cool zone, but it is completely -*BAD WORD*-ed up by Upper Staff.
