Title: Updates - April 23rd 2013
Post by: Santa on April 23, 2013, 03:09:16 AM
Updates


1.) Room tags have been replaced with check boxes in-game to disable / enable them.
2.) Coins have been added to trade.
3.) The @suicide command in-game has been changed to a button in the bottom right of the screen.
4.) The @exit command in-game has been changed to a button in the bottom right of the screen.
5.) To view the tags enabled in every room from the lobby, hover over the room you want to check, and it will show which tags are enabled.
6.) The drop down list for create a room has been modified to hold the following game modes: "Sector, Survival, Story, Individual PvP, Team PvP, Stake, Elimination, Timed, Tag and Base".
7.) A brief description of each game mode is now shown on the create a room dialog to help users chose which game mode they would like to play. (It changes when you change the selected game mode from the list).
8.) A Transfer room master button has been added to the left of the kick/lock slot button in the room.
9.) The lobby gui/trade gui has been redone to fix small pixel errors that were noticeable if you looked closely.
10.) Kills required to enter any given tier have been reduced by 30%.
11.) XP reward from survival has been reduced by 20%.
12.) Elite parts' drop chance has been doubled.

Bug Fixes


1.) Change password button now works even if the original room master exits the room.
2.) Relay server errors that Ross reported are now resolved.
3.) Random crashes caused by invalid pointer access have been resolved.
4.) Missing dx9_xx.dll error has been resolved.
5.) Fraps / other programs that have overlays are now compatible with the client, and will not make it crash upon launching.
6.) Null rooms have been resolved for good now.
7.) +7 flash color has been fixed.

Changes


1.) Coins are no longer obtainable in sector.
2.) Coins are no longer given as member coins.
^ We did the following to decrease the amount of coins in the game.  Plus this will raise the value of gigas in the game.  Once the game's economy has stabilized, we will slowly introduce coins back into the game.
3.) We have added a tax of 1% on all trade / gifts of gigas.
4.) We have added a tax of 3% on all marketplace transactions.
5.) Transformation coupons have been removed from the in-game shop.

Zylon Shop


1.) New items have been added.
2.) Current item times have been modified, to make for a more fair and worthwhile purchase.
3.) Some item prices have been modified.

Please report any and all bugs you may find from this update here, and I will resolve them as quickly as I can!

Thanks,
~RedEyes.

That's the intent, they're trying to reduce the number of coins in the game so once they are no longer obtainable in-game you will only be able to get them buy trading other players. Eventually they will become more and more valuable and there will be less and less in the game, in doing this it will also decrease how valuable Gigas are. Props to you Allie/ Staff whether it was planned or not getting rid of TC's at the same time as stopping coin flow, ensuring that people would have few coins.

I did not like the idea of trading coins. Game became closer the real Bots, where you have to buy coins with real money. So what will happen after nearly whole coins are used in the game? We will you start to sell them on the zylonshop with real money just like Real BOTS?

Only speaking from what Kenny has said but if it gets to the point where they're happy with the number of coins in the game they may re-introduce coins into sector.

Not from the shop physically, but they are disabled so you can't buy them.

Edit:
Also, to confirm anyone's suspicions you cannot get coins from PvP, BvB, or Survival.

They're trying to get rid of a bunch of the coins in game. Once most of the coins are gone, they will bring coins back...

Post by: Ramk1ng on April 23, 2013, 06:57:43 AM
I kinda disagree with the fact that coin gain are totally removed,   BC can use some new players and it wouldn't harm the community if it did. But removing coins makes everything 10 times harder for them.

Ever thought about luck? probably 8/10 lvl 221 rooms who grind say luck only but since people can't buy that they get kicked. They need to do then most of it by their selves and decide to quit again since its so hard. That also brings me to a suggestion allot of people don't understand something every now and then. Why not make a general question box in-game where a staff member can answer it? the answer will be received then in-game because not 24/7 staff members can be online.  Its also kinda sneaky what u guys said about removing tc since every1 spended their last coins on them so now nobody has any anymore.

Other updates looked awesome espaccialy the tick boxes in the rooms.

Great work!

I agree with Ramk1ng. The fact you are removing coins is going to hit the community and new players really hard.
Don't be suprised if you suddenly lose a lot of players once they run out of coins.

Most people I know ONLY play here because you can get coins, thats the fun part, not like real bots where you have to buy them...

Well, this is probably all part of some big economic Illuminati plan that I don't understand. Who am I to speak for the community, I'm just a noob who has been around for like a month.

Just wanted to say that I bet not a single normal player, is happy with this update. I hope you do realize that.

5. Transformation coupons have been removed from the in-game shop.

most BC players prefer the BC before update i guess.. since we cant get coins in Sector, PVP, n BVB after update.
its a nice update.. but not for the "RIP coins n lowered gigas that we can obtained after each game"..

If we gave you a way, that wouldn't entirely help the, you know, 68,000 one year items that can be bought.
If there's enough coins to last a person 68,000 years, we have a problem.

Post by: frozenflame2 on April 23, 2013, 08:50:18 AM
DONT PANIC. Coins will be reintroduced later again
>Reffer to Ramk1ngs post< There was more chat than in screenshot btw

Things there was talked about:
High resolution in window mode is bugged(Going to be fixed)

They are working on a new coin system / better system. Since as Allie posted earlier in this thread, it's pretty retarded and out of hand at the moment. People can so easily farm coins and get 1 Year coin items, and still go get more coins. So coins really had little to no value, only for TC.

This is not a blind decision, it is something they have thought about a lot, and other Staff Members agreed on, they are going to introduce coins back later, when the values have been balanced.

--As much as I understood

You should be able to, if anything it just no longer shows what you typed in the command.  I removed that from showing up.  The people in the lobby should still be able to hear what you say though.

T3 is now mid Kows rather than the first few kills of Xab. So you could get T3 by simply killing up to Xab. Last wave is still better though, Bubbleboy's are easy to kill for drops.

For new players it's like impossible for them to get a new coin trans or flags/heads a stuff, as theirs no coins... Meaning they will struggle more..

Couple parts added that Kenny left out:

10.) Kills required to enter any given tier have been reduced by 30%.
11.) XP reward from survival has been reduced by 20%.
12.) Elite parts' drop chance has been doubled.

5. Transformation coupons have been removed from the in-game shop.

1.) New items have been added.
2.) Current item times have been modified, to make for a more fair and worthwhile purchase.
3.) Some item prices have been modified.


All of these make me very happy <3

What else do you use coins for?
You buy 1 year items and you don't have to worry about spending your coins until they expire.
But member flags are 40k for one moth, member flags will drain the most coins, and that's what it's supposed to be.

Those aren't "new" items though. 
They were old items that were added to the Zylon Shop.
A new item would be something like an event item that was released recently.  E.G Dark Meto, Meto Wings, Meto Jack, etc..

So yes, new items have been added to the Zylon Shop but no new items have been added to the game.

What is the plan for keeping the coins problem from just happening again?  My idea is to drastically lower the amount you get from sector, and completely remove them from survival. Keep PvP and BvB normal, or even raise it a bit. This will hopefully keep PvP and BvB populated, while reducing the amount of coins in the game. Especially if coin gain is removed from survival ::)

Dear Zylon Gaming Staff,

Just two questions 1. why u lower exp per game it take me long time to lvl >:O. 2. Why did u get rid of the coins u earn for every game u play why not just lower it to a smaller amount so low lvls can buy the stuff they need to go ham on the viruses.

1 thing about question 1 is I knw its not just me that it takes a long time to lvl its everyone so don't bother me about that.

I understand that but why did the exp per game go lower now instead of 1 game at lvl 25 it takes me like 3 games to reach next lvl

Exp wasn't lowered except for survival...

Yes because bots had custom tags (buttons) game modes and all the other stuff.
Seriously dude, the only thing that looks remotely close to what bots was is the transformation coupon update. And I thought we passed the bitching about it phase.

I really cannot argue with this much of a flawed perspective but I'll try to get some things across. The coins that are actually being used are the coins that make the economy ****ed, plus yes this is "Bout". Well, "BoutCheetah", but what's that got to do with anythin'? You don't decide what kind of game this is, us admins do. We decided that this is Bout, where you can earn gigas slowly from sector and you can trade coins with older players. We decided that this is Bout, where you have to pay $2.50 for a Trans Coupon because it's too easy to just change your bot when it's meant to be an important decision.

To summarize it, this is how it is and we've made it that way for a reason. Nothing was overlooked, you simply don't like losing your old conveniences.

 ::) hehehe, I must agree with Yz. I was an player on Acclaims BOTS! years ago, that being said, stop bitching about how bout is becoming BOTS...people like you are the reason why these games are becoming hard to enjoy. If you don't like the changes, DON'T PLAY! To solve the problem of people hacking and hoarding coins the Admins decided to disable coin gains from sector and all other game modes, and I have no problem with that. (And as a side note: I am also a member, and our auto coin gain each week was also disabled along with the nonmember coin gains. Think of it this way: At least they where fair about it, instead of letting members just hoard coins and lord it over the heads of the normal players.)
