An introducing post plus rant about the winzones.

Post by akira »

A hello to every Tron-Gamer out there!

Maybe some of you know me already.. akira on the Servers.
Finally made it to register here ;)

I have a urgent need to bring before the admins.
I see a lot of people complaining about the winzones ... (pussyzone etc.)
At the cybertrench server is a nice way around it : SUDDEN DEATH.
Just changing the cycle speed way up. Or a nice huge killzone.

I hope this issue will get adressed soon, because most of the players avoid the zone like a cat water.

Have a nice day!

There is a killzone in 0.2.7.0... But the version of 0.2.6.0 I'm using is already slightly customized :/. I'll maybe see about making it a killzone... Eventually...

The winzone you can have or have not, it's a confiugrable option. So you don't have to have it. It does solve certain problems, though. Recall the thread about dd? A winzoe/killzone would have solved that problem automatically (would have still taken time, and I concede it might have needed to grow to the size of the entire arena).

Balance has to be found, though. I put a kill zone on my server just to keep the game moving. And I made it a kill zone, not a win zone. :)
