TOPIC: What did each update do well? A discussion.

Hello!

With the summer update a bit away I think we should discuss what made each individual update good, and additionally their short comings. Remember, even if coded by chute, nothing it perfect!

Summer Update

The summer update was great, the first of it's kind. It saw ZARP shoot up in the rankings to near number 1.

Positives:

- Wheel system was fun, and kept people interested in the server
- First of it's kind, gave the update a sense of originality and really separated it from many servers out there. A lot of theory crafting and interesting strategies to earn gems reinvented the server.

Negatives:

- Lack of unique items
- Nearly broke the economy, wheel was SUPER op

Halloween Update

The Halloween update also added something new, a brand new rares case that was the first of its kind in collectible goods.

Positives:

- Inventive new items gave the game mode more flavor
- Wheel was back!
- Added some risk to spin the wheel (in both sections as it could be considered both a positive and negative.)

Negatives:

- Slightly weak wheel spins
- Added some risk to spin the wheel (in both sections as it could be considered both a positive and negative.)
- Added some moderately OP weaponry (airstrike)

Christmas Update

My personal favorite. This added a fantastic new slots system and an amazing new way to gain items.

Positives:

- Brand new original slots
- Amazing trade up system
- Having super rare gifts made it so people had a goal to achieve
- The trade up system lead to a lot of competition around who could get the new items first
- The tree was back!
- Great custom map

Negatives

- Usually lackluster rewards from the slots
- Booster packs ruined the fun of the gifts

Easter update

Most recent, and in my opinion a slight step back from the Christmas update, but nevertheless a good update!

Positives:

- Wheel rewards fairer compared to Christmas
- Different types of cases
- Great new weapons
- Event system!

Negatives:

- Slots was replaced with the wheel again.
- No interesting egg trade up system
- Booster packs made most of the items very common very quickly

Future update

So, as we look towards the future, I'd like to open the discussion to you guys, what do you think would make the perfect update? For me it would be:

- Tiered trade up system from Christmas, but with no influence from booster packs (It's inevitable there must be, so instead have the booster pack rewards at the second to last tier or the third to last tier to still give the top gifts some rarity.)
- Slots, but more balanced and in favor of the player
- A fun updated map (takes a lot of time and effort so this one is doubtful.)
- Some summer themed events
- More quality content!

What about you!? Feel free to leave a comment below!

Agreed Exro.

I would love to see more pay out for the wheel/slots my favourite thing is the special weapons make an op prop destroying/people slaying gun, add some decent suits that stay (summer themed suits would be awesome like shorts or something?
Personally I love the updates no matter what time of the year I'm looking forward to the Halloween one this year as I missed last years, rare cases were a great idea!

Ahh yes, plz give us more OP special explosive weapons so we can completely wipe out all of peoples hard work by clicking left click!

Eh, not really part of an update but they were still cool I guess

So far I've really enjoyed the Easter Update and the Summer Update, I didn't really like the Christmas Update and the Halloween Update.

For a future update I'd like to see the following (probably summer):

-New custom costumes, possibly something like a soldier outfit from this PMC Playermodel Pack

-New cop specific items (kinda like the EDF suit), maybe something like tear gas which would disorientate players.

-As we have now seen the Minigun 2.0, maybe a Milkor 2.0, or an RPG 2.0. Possibly you could upgrade your current milkor, etc into a better version with a large amount of uranium and cash - or you could implement a new resource used primarily for these upgrades.

-Maybe a summer themed map, changing around the bloom and the colours of the map to make it appear brighter, add palm trees around the map or something xD

What about an item trade up system stratiic?

For instance you'd have smaller cases giving low tier items and then at the top a huge item giving a very high tier exclusive weapon.

This would solve a lot of issues if done correctly, such as the booster packs ruining the value of items, and also add a sense of mystery. I recall in the Christmas update no one got a mega rare gift until about 3 days after the update. It was great
