    I love the colours on the new zone tracks. These were definitely worth the effort of putting in the game as they are so silky smooth in every way compared to zone on the main tracks I think.

    Zone Battle is great, but for online it really needs a no collisions option as clangy banging into other ships just doesn`t fit the zone "aesthetic" for me as it`s all about pure piloting.

    If you're getting Zone 120 on Syncopia at this stage PS, i'm sure a Zone 140-50 will come very soon .

    We're all waiting . No pressure or anything .

    The Pure Four are awesome!

    Zone 85 second attempt, #3 on the charts.

    Need more practise on this one, I know 90+ is dooable.



    Edit: Zone 95(/63) 3rd try!
    Going for 100!

    Well i've played fury about an hour now, and i got stuck in the first zonebattle race.. yes i do suck on zone mode and i have to say that imo. this has to be the worst mode ever, it's just plain torture. I'll have pair of broken pads tonight, i'm sure of it.

    Nice, is it the same creme colouring as Syncopia?

    New bar:

    Tech de Ra fwd z52 108k

    I'm still sort of annoyed by the colour transitions. I really hope the pure four and their softer colours will learn me to accept and tolerate it so I can get back to proper scores all round :}

    arf I got my first one too but it only lasted a few hours ^^

    it was on mallavol but Matt_XIII_67 took it just after that lol

    any way this is a kickass track you have to be very gentle with the airbrakes though but I'm sure there is really a potential for very high scores on this one too, didn't try syncopia though, not to this point yet in campaign mode.

    What I said in my post is still valid after a week-end on fury, I really don't like zone battle at all :/ those barriers really kill my interest for this mode.

    zone is so much better now they have zone dedicated tracks to play on. i still like using real tracks but only for practise purposes. if its for the zone score i will use a zone track..

    I've now played the hell out of Zone Battle, did about 100 online races
    and got some good advices together that may help you quite a lot. Apply
    them wisely and you may even pwn my a$$. I will post them within the
    next few days.

    Ah, the *barrier, barrier, barrier, ...* voice isn't that enjoying anymore since
    not everyone releases the boost just after two pads. As a consequence, one
    will see less barriers on the track. It works.

    @lunar: So you love the schemes as well? Nice! But I won't remove the
    collision since it makes one aware of the opponents.

    @RobCoxy: Don't know about 150 but a 130 will follow. I had a massive
    crash on zone 115 (losing a good portion of my shield) but I was able to hold
    up till zone 120 thanks to the low-energy noise. This noise really helps since
    it tells you; Dude, keep it up or the show is over! And this forces one (me)
    to rise the attention once more. But it drain mental energy like crazy. xD

    @djKyoto: Hey, nice to see you on ZONE. Didn't saw you on the old tracks.
    Do you somehow know / like the special tracks from Pure?

    @Zoth-Ommog: A torture? Yes, it can. I just did a 55 on Sebenco Climb. Oh
    hell. xD

    @AnErare: Your're back as well. Good work.

    @sh1kamaru-: Why don't you like the barriers? I don't know but it's
    kinda cool swinging around them. Keep going!

    @jasmin-jade: The special tracks bring some old rabbits back to the ZONE
    mode. That's good.

    Just broke 100 zones on Syncopia, slowly uploading a video on it now.

    @ProblemSolver : well, given the short amount of time I'll have for the next few months to play WOHD, I think I'd better spend it on zone rather on zone battle, playing zone on pulse is just an ersatz of the awEsomEnEss of zone in HD

    @djKyoto : wow nice !

    Got to say I love zone battle.

    I was never a big fan of zone until now. I think it must be because it isn't such a lonely mode to play any more. Whenever I was playing it I always thought it was a bit anti-social and there was a lot more fun to be had elsewhere online. The colour scheme on the new tracks is just beautiful. Well done SL I think FURY is even better than HD.

    Despite all the teams have 100% stats I'm very pleased that they have kept
    their individual character.

    After going though all the teams I can safely say that the Feisar is the most
    difficult to control on higher zones. The Feisar behaves like a horse on a
    rempage, you have to be pretty tight on the airbrakes. So up to my point it's
    not a good advice to go with Feisar for a Zone Battle (btw; you won't likely
    see any Feisar in Zone Battle, anyways), if you can't be as tight on the
    airbrakes as hell. If you wanna have a rather smooth run then use, for
    example, a Piranha -- butter smooth! But it's rather unlikely that you will
    meet me in a battle not riding a Feisar. The advantage of Feisar is simply
    that you can swing between Zone Barriers that are closely behind each other,
    if you can control it, of course. It's a high risk, for sure, but kinda cool
    as well.

    Yes I am! Thanks. Almost only my effort on Tech de Ra has so far been paying off. I've been so heftly put down by the colour transitions when I started back in Januari that I'd grown to hate zone in HD..

    The feeling of something this big missing in this game I love so much has finally, and luckily, been replaced by the wonder of the pure four. I'm starting to let the hideous feelings go and fill them with these wonders returned.

    And I've seen zeus on Syncopia too. Surely a picture displays what it looks like but to actually fly in it.. Wow, just wow! Amazing. My mouth fell open with amazement. Oh yes I will certainly thrive on the magic of zone once more

    The same applies to Pulse as well. They differ so much. But the lesser controls of Pulse made it virtually impossible to reach ultra high zones with the heavy ships although they are actually smaller. Probably to compensate the characteristics of the physics engine.

    We'll see PS . I definitely believe you can do it or something close though . I'm also quite confident that i can do a 100+ run on Syncopia... with practice .

    I had max Health at zone 95 somehow, and lost half of it on a massive screw up on zone 98 (you can check the vid here.) So with some luck I believe I could get 110, 115 maybe. I'm no ProblemSolver but I can follow in his wake.
