+1 for this idea

 

Seems like an interesting idea! +1

 

While this idea certainly is interesting, it shares a number of similarities with another Network's game mode (you should know it by now), and there could be some adjustments made to the shop system. There should be a proper progression system as well as a lot of balancing done if we want for this game mode to have a permanent player base.

I think a really cool feature could be a party system or an ability to join the same team as your friends. This could boost the teamwork and make it more fun. There have to be some adjustments made to the pacing and a few other things, but I dig the idea.

However, there should be a long respawn time, therefore making the pacing more tactical.

Ohh.
And random events could make the game more unique (we will need a LORE for it, but it is easy to script), such as a part of the map flooding with lava, a boss mob, forcing teams to cooperate in order to defeat it, or even better - a storm or something unexpected that can turn the tide and the outcome of a battle.

Well, there could be 3 ways of victory (just so that it doesn't turn into a slaughter fest).
1) Domination victory - win by capturing all the points or most points once the time runs out.

2) Team size victory - if points are tied for teams, the team with most team members alive wins.

3) Battle-royale - if team members are tied, all players (and their equipment) are teleported to an arena, and after a small countdown, a battle begins. The last team standing wins.

A few free kits as well:

1) Assassin.
Passive: Deal +25% additional damage from behind.
Active: Blood Star - once activated, provides 5 seconds of Regeneration I.
A great class for sneak attacks and flanking maneuvers, dealing more damage from behind.

2) Medic
Active: Hit an ally to heal (uses the same plugin from CTF), however, the healing cool down lasts for 3 seconds until the next heal.
Passive: Regeneration I
This class is playable as a support to your team mates - a medic can be the difference between a victory and a defeat.

3) Blacksmith
Active: Left/Right-click armor to restore 100 durability every time (4 second cool down), receive 1 anvil every time you spawn.
Passive: Depending on how many repairs you make, you receive a special weapon.
Repair items and fix other things in order to become better!

We could also have overcharge - it charges up overtime, but if you are dealing damage to the enemies, or capturing objectives, it charges up faster. This overcharge increases your damage and speed per every level.

 

If you're thinking CTF, I still think they are quite distinct. Also, may you please elaborate on which adjustments are to be made to the shop/balancing?
Well, I was thinking of another game mode outside of Brawl and McPvP, which has 4 sides and classes, except for a different objective. It just seemed rather similar.(just don't mind it)
Now, in terms of adjustments, there should be a way to earn money outside of killing people and capturing points. There could be secondary objectives on the map, that would be under control by mobs, and these could be possible to grind, or, there could be some kind of a resupply system.

What do you mean by if team members are tied?
Well, if 2 teams have the same amount of captured points and the same amount of team members alive.

 

I think the idea is amazing! Nice work Striker_Sly!

 

i would like to be the dwarfs go dwarfs

 

I think it's very similar to other gamemodes on other servers, so it needs something to make it stand out a bit more to atract more players.

 

She already discussed this with MessageForHelp. Read next time buddy

 

Is there something wrong with providing my opinion?

 

This is an amazing idea Striker, I would like to see this added.

 

This looks pretty cool, I'll be thinking of any additions that could be made to the idea.
And now I see what you were doing on Build

 

would the staff be a stick or a blaze rod

 

It looks like a pretty cool idea!
I thought of some things and tried to format them the best I could. Sorry for the gigantic wall of text </3

Racial Feats:
One thing you might consider is adding racial feats for the teams if you can make them balanced, though obviously that could be difficult to predict, and you'd want to work the kits around them.

Some Ideas:

• Increased credit gain for Dwarves (This could be OP if it stacks with Investor)
• Passive speed for Elves (Useless with Runner unless the potions are Speed II+, but could have good synergy with Hidden)
• Either a type of Sturdy/kb reduction, extra base health added permanently onto the health ba, or a small amount of Resistance for Orcs (Could have the early game advantage)
• Traditionally, in D&D, Humans have an option of increasing any two skills of their choosing, so you could do something like that, but it's a.) complicated, and b.) not necessarily easy for the other team to predict, which is cool, but strategically could be annoying.

Limited Locations:
Bases are cool, and objectively essential, but there could be other things too. The game is very straightforward with the objective of just killing people and taking their bases, but to really define it beyond just a Zones-style TDM, you could add different maps with special locations that the teams could use in other ways. If the game lasts as long as it does, this could also change the pace of gameplay from time to time and provide people with the option to switch goals so their game doesn't get stale or feel boring if they keep attacking the same base over and over. Any areas with set locations would need to be equidistant between at least two bases, though. So you could have one on the border between Elf and Human, one between Dwarf and Elf, etc.

Some Ideas:

• Monster Camps (Set): Very straightforward. Kill a monster, get a buff. These could be anything from a pack of wolves to a named minor boss. You would want to take these on in groups of 2-5, ideally. This could either give your team credits (preferably the whole team so that people don't fight within the team over getting the bases, and it also gives them an objective side so that the whole team can build). Instead of having to kill a possibly snowballed enemy player, you could kill a respawning mob for fewer credits, but distributed among the whole team. This would be a set location, and a respawn timer would be necessary.
• Resource Spawns (Set): Anything from an air-drop to an abandoned mine could be full of resources for people to fight for and take advantage of. These supplies don't necessarily have to be credits; they could be potions, gear, etc., but if that's the case, they wouldn't be distributed among the group, which could lead to internal conflict. This would be a set location, and a respawn timer would be necessary.
• Roaming Bosses (Uncommon): This boss could be anything from a small 1-2 person event, to a massive 5-6 person adventure. These could spawn anywhere on the map that is a reasonable distance away from a base, and would move around in either a random path or a set pattern. Since these ones can't always be predictably found, they might yield a bigger reward. This wouldn't be a set location, but would need a respawn timer with either random or set intervals.
• Random Drops (Rare): These would be random supply drops with a secret location, though you could take the HG approach and announce a vague radius in the chat as though it were a mini-feast. These could be as valuable or as invaluable as you want. In contrast to the others, this one could be rare enough that you couldn't count on it happening in a game. This wouldn't be a set location, but would need a random respawn timer.

Basically, it's another way to get resources and credits instead of just killing. I think it would keep the objective gameplay intact, especially if the team is rewarded for getting them.

Point Values:
I think the points for capturing bases might be a little low. Also, I might be misunderstanding the way that points are attributed every 5 minutes, so correct me if I'm wrong. But theoretically, if you had a team that was just dominating; like full out destroying anyone who set foot on the battlefield, they could earn 25 max points per turn. Fair enough, but it would still take that incredibly overpowered team 20 minutes to win the game. That's 20 minutes of the other people dying and kind of suffering through the whole deal if they're really kicking butt. It might be a little slow paced, especially if the only thing to do is kill other people. If there's no other building aspect to it, like getting resources, killing monster camps, etc., it seems like a pretty slow-paced game. It seems like if you had a standard set of people (not amazing, not awful in terms of skill), it would probably be about 40 minutes per game, which might be nice if that's what you're going for, but not if it's 40 minutes of snowballing and dying, which brings me to my next concern.

Death, Snowballing, and Why Those are Scary:
Because I'm from CTF, the concept of buying items and losing them on death kind of puts me on edge. If you're new or not very good at the game, you might die more than others, losing your items, and giving others a chance to build beyond you, and by the time you see them again, it's less balanced than before.
Something I might suggest instead of that, if you want to keep the penalty for dying, is to have a respawn timer, but let players keep their items. If the items were potions and other consumables, I wouldn't see it as an issue, but when it comes to weapons and armor, it's a lot easier to get very unbalanced very quickly, especially if newer players unintentionally feed.
You may say that dying isn't as often as one might think, but if killing players is the most direct way to earn credits, it may be a little more common than you expect.

 

This sounds somewhat like Zone Control, but more complex. Zone Control was an MCPVP gamemode with the same kit choices as CTF and two teams. You had to capture platforms from the other team. Anyway, I would like having this as a gamemode to remind me of Zone Control! +1

What do you think the approximate size of a regular map would be?

I'll think about ideas for this.

 

looks fun nice idea!
