Leg0las Posted August 31, 2005 Report Posted August 31, 2005 My new zone got hosted by SSI several days ago thx to 1ststrike,it has some decent gfx,tiles,maps,setts,lvz etc.. We're still finishing up the last LVZ (scoreboard), F1-cmnds and tweaking the setts just a little..altho the flag game,soccer game, bounty game etc all work. It's a 1 flag, flagging zone with 5 mini bases to stimulate fraying/swarming with your team. Unfortunately some of our staff became inactive, therefore our staff is still open..if ya got some time, don't forget to take a peak Join the club! -Legas
»SOS Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 Well, ok, the zone has some potential. I especially liked the fact that I didn't have to wait for 5 minutes to download it. I love the map design. It almost-almost-almost has a great "derelict giant spaceship" feel... but the tileset ruins all traces of it. Tileset says medieval castle... wtf? Spaceships in a castle? Err.... no thanks. The ships are more-or-less OK. They have a bit more items than I'd like (there are two types of zones: shooting zones and item-happy zones... this is somewhere in the middle, I'd say. I like shooting zones a lot more). There's one thing that I absolutely hate though... X-Radar on every ship!!. What the bloody fritzgerald use are the stealth and cloak then? NONE! Just cluttering up my screen space. Useless. Bah. I hate that. Also, the "3 games"... OK, this might (I'd write more on why it'd not but why bother) in big zones work, but for a small zone? Suicide! If you have 4 players in the arena, they better be playing for the same objective! Otherwise, they'll be in different parts of the arena, each winning his "own" game... and there won't be any action; there won't be any fun and they will not come back.
Leg0las Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Posted September 1, 2005 I appreciate ur opinion,but whats wrong with the tiles? it looks like damaged stone walls,instead of metal thats being used alot, or ehh... flashy gold,red,blue tiles.. i found it pretty original, anyway, ur opinion and like i said those setts are still being tweaked so that also counts for x-radar,cloak,anti,stealth and the whole bunch.. altho it's good that u mention it, since we find 'bugs' like those all the time.. the main focus is flagging with the 1 flag, soccer is a game next to it but doesnt give much points, only if its being hosted in pub. so that'll need a bigger pop, then it'll draw more attention. without that being hosted it isnt much difference then a regular ball game in any other zone. the bounty game can always be running, whether u have 1 game or a hundered.. its just a bountyrace to 100 and best bty records are being recorded and prized =/ but ok..just sharing my thought here and im always open for more, and thx for yours
Trained Posted September 1, 2005 Report Posted September 1, 2005 Hey leg0las, long time no see. I check out the zone and I defiantely like the map design (as a mapper myself) its a very good design. The settings are really not my type, but I dont like moving slow, but im sure I could get used to them. The tiles in the zone are nice looking, but as SOS said, they give me a kind of a castle feeling, and castle and space dont mix so well. The 3 different objectives should take off as population increases, and im sure players will play one objective to keep the fun in the zone, until others discover the zone and they start having their favorite types of objectives, blah blah. The zone has a great overall concept, I really like the layout and the work you have put in the zone. I see it has potential, congrats to you, LF, and AnacondA, keep it up.
