Moonracer2000 Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 716	Posted - 2014.02.26 11:31:00 - [1] - Quote So yeah, this is admittedly a dumb idea, but maybe not horrible? An old school deathmatch mode. Something like Ambush, only with no squads/teams. Perhaps limited to 16 player so it isn't totally insane? I don't think I've seen this discussed (at least in a while) Some random thoughts: Change of pace from other game modes. Support role would be non existent Could be kind of an arena/gambling element to it where you pay into it and get a much higher cut of the pool depending on your rank Vehicles might be an issue Doesn't really make sense in the game world (well, deathmatch never made sense as a concept) could be fun
Ghermard-ol Dizeriois Maphia Clan Corporation 177	Posted - 2014.02.26 12:29:00 - [2] - Quote Another point you didn't mention is spawning: placing drop uplinks remains useful but only for yourself... Also, the maps should be quite small, not the ones seen in Ambush which are big enough to place yourself 400m away and snipe enemies fully relaxed. If you are an hacker, a cheater o a glitcher, you deserve death. In real life.
Moonracer2000 Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 716	Posted - 2014.02.27 00:34:00 - [3] - Quote Yeah, spawning and map size would be much harder to balance. Maybe if it was only 16 player and within the confines of one of the large city installations (maybe include just enough exterior to walk around it)? Even with a large map like current Ambush I feel sniping would be quite risky. So if someone could pull it off I wouldn't have a problem. Vehicles are a little more tricky. Without a dedicated AV group working together tanks and Dropships might go completely unchecked. That goes for anything that requires teamwork to overcome I guess.
Mahal Daj Mahal Tactical Enterprises 30	Posted - 2014.02.28 16:08:00 - [4] - Quote regarding vehicles and map size, you could make everyone in the game red to the turrets, and have the module where the match takes place surrounded (as it is already) by the turrets. This would keep most Bolas off the field, and would force players to stay in the cover of the intended module. I'd like it if was something like: 50k to play, 8/16/24/32 person cap. 1st gets 50%, 2nd gets 30%, 3rd gets 20%, others... welcome to New Eden. This would be a great way to get players to put their money where their mouth is. Boost your squad's points by 40%, learn to use the Squad Wheel! I provide training: 1M isk: 90 Minutes of Basic Command
deepfried salad gilliam Sanguine Knights 442	Posted - 2014.02.28 16:39:00 - [5] - Quote my twist on this 1 allow squads but it remains Free for all . 2 yes allow allow vehicles 3 500 k isk entry fee 4 name it arena or something of the sort back story the arenas of new eden started as noting more than a death match between slaves forced by their masters, as time grew on it eventually began to attract mercenaries, becoming a high stakes proving ground for the deadliest men and women of new eden and their is the logical explanation of a death match Proud Christian add p2p already!

Much whining would ensue.
killertojo42 Sardaukar Merc Guild 34	Posted - 2014.02.28 16:57:00 - [7] - Quote Good idea just no vehicles And 500k entry fee, guess i can actually run proto in a game mode and make it profitable When walking on the battlefield i stand alone

What about snipers? MD? REs? etc.
TheD1CK Dead Man's Game 819	Posted - 2014.02.28 17:43:00 - [9] - Quote I like this, it is slightly similar to an idea I posted before... Of a new game-mode to provide a greater Eve/Dust link gimme a sec to see if I can find the OP Plasma Cannon performs its suppresion/area denial role perfectly Pity dust players only perform one role - slaying

What about snipers? MD? REs? etc. as it stands i only use basic or less except for an enchanced shield regulator, there needs to eventually be a mode where proto can be used at a possible profit otherwise it's just useless showpiece and a badge of nothing except to say I'm proto When walking on the battlefield i stand alone

There will be groups of people to continually thrust out the "no {whatever}" to this type of game mode. Hell, I bet some would like no proto. While I really like the idea of new game modes, I think deathmatch like this would be a step backward, and there would be no end to the "it's not fair" class of whining.
Tebu Gan Dem Durrty Boyz Renegade Alliance 635	Posted - 2014.02.28 20:00:00 - [12] - Quote YES, I've proposed a no squad game mode, as well as others. Lone wolfers like myself would LOVE it. Still teamed up on a side, but no squads allowed. Or a FFA mode would be awesome too. In all honesty, ANY new mode would be acceptable. Please, anything to change it up a bit, same ol same ol, is getting OLLD. Tanks - Balancing Turrets
Hecarim Van Hohen ACME SPECIAL FORCES RISE of LEGION 485	Posted - 2014.02.28 20:43:00 - [13] - Quote FFA sounds like it would go well with the arena "Hey let's team up on the rest of the guys and thus ensure we compete for the victory" I would pay to watch a match like that :3 BANGO SKANK WAS HERE 1.7 best match (HMG): 40/9/9 (K/A/D)

A few thoughts. Winning will also grant "Arena Tokens". 100 can be traded for a 30 minute Infantry Shop booster which reduces the price of all infantry items. Vehicle count is reduced to 0. Demolition game mode Destroying a vehicle will cause the price of the vehicle to be added to your "Battle Log". (AURx200=ISK) Suicides will deduct the price of your suit/vehicle(x2) from your Battle Log. Vehicle destruction = 2 points / Kills = 1 point. Victory = most points after timer expires. City sockets are left blank (debatable) Calling in a vehicle will cause it to be constructed instead of called in. Vehicle recalls are disabled. Winning grants "Demolition Tokens". Trade 100 in for a 30 minute Vehicle Shop Booster which reduces the price of all vehicle items. Now both the infantry and the vehicles have there own free-for-all game modes. [Note] boosters don't effect loyalty items. Well that's my random brainstorm, do with it what you will. Scout Tactician Dance puppets, DANCE!
SickJ D.A.R.K L.E.G.I.O.N D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 130	Posted - 2014.03.01 01:52:00 - [15] - Quote Moonracer2000 wrote: Doesn't really make sense in the game world (well, deathmatch never made sense as a concept) There's a cache of weapons/equipment/{insert valuable thing here} in the area, and the last man standing gets to take it all home. (For this to make sense there'd have to be no respawns, which is a good thing in my book) Having a mode where you know the winner gets something cool would also be a nice change of pace. Moonracer2000 wrote: Support role would be non existent Could imitate Battlefield's Squad Deathmatch, and add the twist that squads have to split their reward, so someone going in alone could get 6 times what they'd get if they had a full squad.

Draxus Prime BurgezzE.T.F General Tso's Alliance 3240	Posted - 2014.03.01 04:07:00 - [16] - Quote this is planned with the gladitorial arena mode it will also have CTF Also betting might come out this year "Spilling floor cleaner only makes the floor cleaner" -Draxus Prime Closed Beta Vet Nova Knife Proficiency 5 \o/

I got you buster but vehicles are intended to support teams and it takes a lot of high tech equipment to get vehicles transported, in a free for all arena setting things wouldn't be so simple but i could see getting a vehicle given to you for points aka. showmanship When walking on the battlefield i stand alone
Tonka Legacy THIRD EARTH INCORPORATED Dark Taboo 57	Posted - 2014.03.01 07:41:00 - [18] - Quote Im not saying its a bad idea, but I don't think we should ever expect to see this...it kind of goes off topic of what the game is actually about (cough* cough* call of duty cough*)putting a bunch of mercenaries against each other. that means there should be not 4, but 16 factions right? Thats why free for all never made sense to me in that game I mentioned above. A bunch of people killing eachother from the command of only two sides...its low key betrayal. WELL, my rant is over...sorry for that. Scrambler rifles, the REAL way to scramble eggs... Laser rifles, good for popping corn... Shotgun, great for parties...
low genius The Sound Of Freedom Renegade Alliance 1317	Posted - 2014.03.01 07:55:00 - [19] - Quote there's no good reason not to have it. it must exist in the universe.
Moonracer2000 Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 718	Posted - 2014.03.01 16:06:00 - [20] - Quote I don't think any sort of faction backing needs to exist for any sort of Arena situation. RP wise it could just be natural that rich, egotistical space mercs with essentially infinite lives would get into this sort of thing. Even pew pewing their own corp members for lolz. I liked the idea about vehicles being harder to acquire since this isn't a real faction/corp backed battle. In normal matches players just pay for the vehicle, but individuals likely don't have their own RDVs, MCCs or warbarges. That also cuts out precision strikes and such.
