Box invasion

Admins · #1 11-18-2006, 04:58 PM

Yesterday the boxes have been modified to be destroyable and you can pick them up and place somewhere else to build a defence around your base.
Please say if you like it, if some aspects of it should be modified, or if you have problems with them.

they are fun. They may become a hassle. I suggest either disallowing them inside bases or alowing a way to walk through some for a moment when in bases.

Here is one screenshot of base one

I was confused at first, until I read this thread of course. Looks pretty fun I guess. (I've sent you a PM, please read it)

I made a fort with em.

It's very annoying how some people are placing boxes and blocking entrances on purpose, and some of them place boxes around there teammates and purposely kill them, by blowing up the boxes.

MisterMastermind · #10 11-19-2006, 01:54 AM

This **** needs fixed. Worst update yet stefan, a whole bunch of trial retards with the nickname "bob the builder" are abusing boxes to block their team mates in, then destroying them causing their team mates to receive damage. Have the respawn for boxes be at least 1-2 minutes after it's destroyed, and no more than 4-5 per base.

hilary1612 · #11 11-19-2006, 02:07 AM

Hm, shouldn't we be able to throw, pull and push the boxes?

pooper200000 · #12 11-19-2006, 02:11 AM

I like to go and explode them on the noobs who do that its fun.

MisterMastermind · #13 11-19-2006, 04:21 AM

If storm riders put down a box, they should be able to walk over it, at poisoned walk speed, yet Sweep fleet can onyl destroy their way through, and vice versa.

Admins · #14 11-19-2006, 04:57 AM

Hmmm will reduce the respawn rate and make them a little bit easier to destroy inside bunkers. The boxes can theoretically be modified so that they don't hurt team members when they explode, as long as the player who placed them is still online.

jkool666 · #15 11-19-2006, 08:55 AM

You also need to make it so when an ET blows them they don't hurt players near it.

Yeah, just more stuff I have to be a jerk about and tell people to stop doing :S. I agree with Typhoon, this will be abused.

Though, what's even worse than that, is when you end up actually trying to use them as they're supposed to be used, and some retard claiming to be a traitor for the other team starts blowing them all up.

I have a good pic of how they should be used. What do you think?

UnknownMasterMind · #18 11-19-2006, 05:27 PM

I think these Boxes are Awsome! This is very Fun! Also, It prevents alot of things, they act as shields for laming, as in Poopers screenshot, I was laying them down around the Spawn Point...Although when they mortared it didnt work right....Kinda killed people faster! Rofl.

Well, I want to show some pics for no reason just to show how much fun I had! And we are getting more Players (Its has been higher than 40 all Week! 60 right now!)

Sincerely,

dude2020 · #19 11-19-2006, 05:52 PM

Yeh to many people..= uber laggage for me.. + These boxs are pretty ***.. Boing flew into a pile of them and i piped them and he died xDDD IT was funny.. 1 way of misuseing xD

Mark Sir Link · #25 11-21-2006, 12:02 AM

Is it slightly possible for the Zone community to effectively communicate what to do to fix the boxes rather than immediately act ingrateful to getting an update altogether?

barkergaming · #26 11-21-2006, 12:41 AM

I gotta say, the boxes entertain me, and i don't get abused by them very often, apart from being used as barriage..

Just my two cents
-Mike

Crono · #27 11-21-2006, 02:37 AM

It's ok so far. I don't know how to really use them though. I press A on boxes and I can only carry a few.

Some annoyances:

If you pick up a box it should pick up the source of the box. I mean I press A on a box on base and another one kind of magically spawns on my hand? Also when you carry a box it has no snow but when you lay it down it does.

Ill answer that for you. NO! We argue then complain at any update! then work as a community then we complain some more!

How would you suggest? Obviously you think you know since you posted. Its biased because some players enjoy the boxes others don't so either way players will be mad so we cannont EFFECTIVELY work together as a community or sirs and misses. We immediatly act ungrateful because that is our odd way of getting things fixed and having some fun. Ok You majesty Mark SIr link The third?

Only non snow covered ones can be carried. For the second paragraph: Yes we are cool like that. Because the snow is falling in a layer we can't see but shows up because the box doesn't move

Nah, a few of the ones in snow can too.

Whatever that was a plausible answer since very few with snow ar elike that.

someonesomewhere · #31 11-21-2006, 04:29 AM

Balance the soawn for each base... I can understand why Base 1 would have 5 seperate boxes that spawn... but some of the other ones have 2, while others have 4.

Mark Sir Link · #32 11-21-2006, 05:08 PM

No, I merely suggest you guys constructively suggest how the boxes can be fixed, rather throwing around labels like retarded and stupid.

Instead of being satisfied and taking 30 seconds to type a brief list of how they can be fixed, you go on 3 minute rampages lambasting everyone that gets in your way - noobs who killed you with them, "retards" blocking you in your base, etc.

That is to distinguish between what boxes are the ones that you can pick up and the ones that have been layn down by another player.

Find a title that describes people that do things to make others mad, especially when they do not benefit from it, and it hurts them as well.

If you have noticed, it doesn't really matter about whatever we post here, seeing as 99% of it is never even responded to by Stefan.

You could
A.) Ignore them.
B.) Reference to them as people, considering that what they're doing may be done for pure pleasure - loosen up, we all find our fun differently on this game.

Hugely inaccurate, I wish that Stefan was as active on Classic, another official GraalOnline server, as he is on Zone.

We're being neglected the most, not Zone players. He's probably most attentive to Zone of all the servers.
