[Gamemodes] 1.9 Gamemode Ideas

Hello, Brawlers!


So I decided to hop onto CTF a few days ago, and I ran into my good ole’ friend @0racle. We were chit-chatting about how some servers on Brawl that were decreasing in players, and came up with a few ideas that sounded really cool if they were implemented into Brawl. Personally, I think because of the 1.9 update, there are a lot of downsides… However, with these ideas we should be able to make the most out of this update! Also, in light of previous discussion on the topic of the rationality of HG, this is pretty great timing.


So we had 3 things come up:

1. Elytra-KitPvP
   
2. Quidditch
3. SkyCrusade / DogFights

​

First and foremost, we have Elytra-KitPvP.
The way we discussed this was, well, KitPvP with the Elytra thrown into the mix!
We had the idea of creating a very large arena with numerous amounts of islands for players to fly over and fight.
Players will be equipped with medium level damage weapons with light armor- because you're flying! It's very hard to hit players, and you want to make every hit count.
But here's the catch; Rather than using soup to keep yourself alive, you will be using dust to repair your elytra.
If your elytra health so happens to run out, your elytra will disappear and you will begin falling. After that, you will hit the ground and take damage, die of fall damage (depending how high up you were) or fall into the void and respawn. Your elytra will respawn 5 seconds after disappearing.
But, the concept was to have numerous sky-islands for players to jump between with several obstacles and bonuses.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

Also, in between the islands will be floating objectives for players to obtain, such as credit boosts, temporary speed boosts, and Elytra Resistance (and others)

And now, for the kits!

The four basic kits will be as follows:

The Tank: A slow moving, high melee-damage elytra that benefits most from resistance buffs.
The Warrior: A quick, medium level melee- damage elytra that benefits most from damage buffs.
The Scout: A very fast, high DPS elytra that is very vulnerable to damage, and benefits most from resistance and speed buffs.
The Caster: A slow, burst damage mage that uses spells as its way of producing chaos. Caster will contain a regeneration spell and a ranged burst spell that has a high cooldown. Benefits most from resistance and speed boosts.

​

Next up we have Quidditch! (Probably won't name it that because of copyright issues)

Quidditch will be based similarly on Air combat, but just a little different.
We had the idea of doing it one of two ways:

Flying around with an Elytra, or using a Squid as a broomstick.

Either way, it will be pretty much parallel to the Harry Potter version, with numerous goals.

As difficult as it may be to get giant balls to be thrown around into goals, it's much simpler to have various types of snitches soaring through the skies, and gaining points based on what type they are.

Snitches will try to avoid players at all cost, and as the value of each snitch increases, so does their speed.
Strategy will be very key in catching the snitches.

​

Lastly, we talked about something similar to DogFights in World War II.
SkyCrusade is what we came up with.

Players will be able to soar through the skies, hide behind clouds and ambush the enemy with various types of classes to choose from.

The most crucial part of this is moreso the classes rather than their location, so lets jump right into it.

The Bomber: The bomber is a slow-moving, burst damage class that focuses solely on explosives to get the job done. This class will have the ability to throw bombs at other fighters that can either trigger on contact and do a ton of damage, or after 3 seconds of being thrown. The bombs cannot be thrown between 0 and 180 degrees (Above).

The Assault: Likely to be one of the most commonly used classes if released, the assault will be a high-speed that uses guns to do sustained dps to the enemy that will ultimately destroy them after quite a few seconds of being hit.

The Suicide: The suicide craft will simply be just that. Your goal will to spawn and respawn and hit a large group of planes in order to do an extremely high AoE damage effect, and will destroy players within a 5-7 block radius of you (Damage decreases between 7-15).


Remember that these are just ideas and concepts, not full fledged game plans.
Let me know your thoughts below,

Thanks!
