TOPIC: [UPDATE REVIEW] 3rd one will blow your mind!

First, let's examinate the content of the brand new skull case :

- Battle Axe : Ever wanted a a re-skin of the thunder hammer except it doesn't even work on doors? Well, the Battle axe is the item you're looking for! With this wonderful item you will be as usefull in a raid as a baldie shooting with a spas-12 at a container!

- De-Animator : A cunning combination of the BEST features of many weapons from different cases combined such as the charging shot time of the laser spartan, the damage output of a laser pistol and the prop destroying efficiency of the gauss rifle! And on top of that your ennemy will be stunned for a duration of 0.2 seconds! Truly a weapon of mass destruction that will change the current meta of raiding!

- Flamethrower : Essentialy a jet gun but even less efficient! Can you imagine a gun even more useless than the jet gun? Neither could I but hey! They actualy did it!

- Skull printer : More printers! Exactly what we needed to fix the economy amirite?

- Acid grenade : Nerve gas on steroids with a much longer lasting effect! An actual good item tough receiving only one in each case feels a bit rough.

- Mummy Suit : 500 hp but 0 armor (?), special ability includes being able to respawn 3 times at the spot where you died with the suit still equipped and supposedly with a damage boost everytime you respawn ( Info provided by Eipus ). Interesting concept tough I hope the respawn is on a forced timer and cannot simply be used whenever the player feels like it because otherwise I can imagine a scenario of someone rushing in a base with the suit, dying on the spot then waiting forever before clicking to respawn on the same spot and being able to raid them easily.

Let's move on to the other relevant economy breaking boosting features of this update :

- New craftables : This update brings in new craftable items that are whacky and spooky! Nothing wrong with that honestly, cosmetic skins are always fun and the HUD looks pretty nice. Spider grenade is especialy fun to play with but the crafting price of said items are pretty high unless you buy them booster packs ( Mmmm, ever get that feeling of Déjà vu? )

- Halloween wheel : Oh look, a wheel based off the gem economy where a few dozens peoples with over 200M gems never connected in over a year im sure that's fair for new users!

- Card Pack : Revolutionary mini-game! Absolutely not just a case with a different wrapping! ( Also golden items are back even tough they were never supposed to be but I guess that's just a client sided issue )

- The map : Really good work overall, the new buildings look pretty cool and the efforts towards improving basing spots are appreciated tough I feel like they were still not pushed far enough ( I stated on previous threads how a good basing spot should have a lobby where the initial defense/raid happens, a " middle room " to give space for the defenders to manoeuver and a back room to hide valuable entities ) tough I strongly disagree with the idea of an elevator base because it completly ruins the dynamics of zarp with the fast paced raids almost completly removing the element of surprise from a raid attempt and giving a too big advantage to the people defending.


Now as far as the fix/balances I don't know about all of them but from what I noticed so far we got :

- Unnecessary nerfs :


While on the other hand the handcanon, the evo suit and the gluon gun are still as op as ever and many of the accepted suggestions did not get implemented.








Yet another update meant to boost an already broken economy with rigged odds to make kids buy more booster packs that did not adress the true problems of zarp. I'll give it 3 weeks before we're back to the state the server was in not even a few days ago. It's a shame because the menus and update in itself isn't that bad as it adds a lot of stuff but as always the community opinion gets completly ignored and the balances/fixes seem like they are pulled off a magic hat at random.

PS : Don't forget to buy plenty of booster packs

Shut the fuck up lmao

good review! keep it up chief!

props to chute for the effort but i gotta agree with this

You literally chat shit full time, you have no fucking clue how economy works and the steps that should be taken to resolve the issues that exist. We have spent countless hours reviewing the economy and are taking steps to improve it, especially in this update. You complained about the lack of an update and now when there is one you blatantly shit on it. I think I speak on behalf of most of the community when I say, 'take your toxic attitude elsewhere'.

Thanks

It was a pretty good update. Especially the map changes. They addressed some of the basing issues on s1.

Way better than the previous halloween one

I like the client sided issue meme for the golden items there
