[Community Ideas] Battle Bay Modes

Ok so I was first typing out some suggestions regarding fleeting up for 5 people. But then halfway through writing, I started getting more ideas and decided to switch the thread to "Different Battle Bay Modes/Features". So Let's make this thread where people can come up with cool ideas for different types of modes we can have to make this game much more fun. Please try to keep the ideas in a nicely formatted way so that it will be easier to read. So here are some ideas that I think would be interesting.

5v5 Battle Day
Day: Weekends.
Time: Any Time.
Duration: All Day Long.
Mode Description: Fleeting up with your friends/guild mates to take on other organized groups.
Other Points

• Need a fleet of 5 people to apply on battle. The system will match it with a group of 5 other people who have fleet up'd together.
• Only on weekends (can adjust days/times). The reason for this is related to the point above. Sometimes it could be hard to find other groups who want to 5v5 as well. This is sometimes a common occurrence in PvP Arena's and stuff in other games. The players are too spread out on the time/days they play so it will become hard to match up fleet's for battle. If 5v5 is only at a set date/time, a lot of people will start queuing up at that time resulting in a much more higher player base in the queue ready to fight against other organized fleets.
• Rewards could be the usual sugar/pearl/gold etc. But also to make it more enticing to play this mode when its opened, it can have a special quest like win 3 5v5 battle or something like that with some box rewards.
• To prevent boring matches with 5 fixers, there should be some ship limits. So something like only 2 ships of the same time max?. I know we all hate it when we face a group of 3 fixers in the opposite side while you have 1 (or worse, none) XD

Guild Battles
Day: Any Day.
Time: Any Time
Duration: All Day Long.
Mode Description: Your guild against theirs. 5v5 guild battles.
Other Points:

• I think Clash of Clan's clan battle is quite nice when it comes to how the preparations and stuff works (not the matchmaking though, that sucked). So something similar to it. Guild leader will set the war size (20v20 30v30 etc). When another guild has been found (matchmaking, I'll leave that out to others to figure it out), each guild will get 12hrs/24hs? to prepare for the war. In this period, each player will be selecting their ship and weapons loadout (which cannot be changed later).
• The duration of the war will be 24 hours (excluding prep time). It can finish earlier if everyone finishes their battles.
• 5 players from each guild will fleet up and queue for guild battle. This will send a notification to the enemy guild. It will not show which players are queuing from the other guild until the battle starts.
• You can only queue up if you have at least 1 battle left. Once all your 3 battles are over, you cannot go into battle anymore.
• The winning guild will be the guild with the most wins. If it is a draw, then we can count the total stars/kills? or something like that.
• Rewards can include UC boxes/parts/sugar/gold etc etc....
• Just like in 5v5 battle mode described above, ship limitations will be implemented.

NOTE: For Guild Battles, I am really not sure about the duration and stuff. So will need more input/ideas from you guys

Practice Mode
Day: Any Day.
Time: Any Time
Duration: NA
Mode Description: Practice arena to test out your guns/ships or improve yourself
Other Points:

• This will be just like how the tutorial is at the start. You against bots.
• Can make it so that you can fleet up with 2 or more people here to practice team work or something like that.
• No rewards or anything from here since it's all practice.

Unranked Battle Mode
Day: Any Day.
Time: Any Time
Duration: NA
Mode Description: Play with others casually with no added pressure. Have fun with destroying everything.
Other Points:

• Can queue up alone or with a friend (2 fleet) or with a group of 5.
• No need to wait for another organized team. It will just match you up with a random group (will prioritize other groups though).
• Can challenge other players for matches in this mode. So you can fight against your guild mates or friends. If you challenge your friend without a team, you both will queue up but will be in opposite teams.
• No rewards. This mode is just for fun and friendly matches.
• This would be a good mode to have friendly tournaments within guild for some fun times :3

Tournament Mode
Day: Weekends.
Time: Every 6 hours
Duration: 1 Hour or less
Mode Description: Knockout mode. Group up with your friends to be the last fleet sailing.
Other Points:

• When the mode opens up on weekends, you'll have 30 minutes to register with a group of 5 people. A total of 16 fleets will be in a tournament. When 1 is filled up, another will open and so on.
• Once everyone is ready, it will start the matches. When you lose, you're out of the tournament.
• A Total of 4 rounds will be there including the finals. If any match is a draw, winners will be decided with the amount of stars or some other factors.
• Final Round is the only round where if it draws, another match will be played.
• If any members of the fleet fails to be ready for battle within 5 minutes, the team will have two options. Continue the match with the afk players or just be disqualified.
• In this mode, more restrictions will be there including the ship restriction mentioned above. Weapons & other items will be capped at certain levels. This is something that I have not really though of in-depth. A cap will level the playing field. At first some people might have better stuff but overtime, it will balance out.
• Each match will give the same reward as a normal battle. So if you lose, you still get a few thousand sugar/gold etc... Reward chests are given for the winners and the runner-up. This could be multiple UC boxes or one of those Rare/Purple Boxes for 1st place.

I still got some more ideas but kind of tired to write now. I hope you all can give some good inputs regarding this and help me tweak some of the points that have been written here. And also, if you got a nice idea, please post it in the above format and I can include it in this post. It would be nice to have a list of multiple battle modes and who knows, maybe the devs might be interested

 

-Reserved for more posts just in case there is a limit for 1 post-

 

Lots of cool ideas, upvoted for effort. I really like the 5v5 idea, but would hate to have it only be on weekends. It seems to me like 5v5 is the ultimate skill setting in this game, and should be praised instead of seen as a fun, weekend event. There's definitely going to be enough players, because everybody wants teammates that are willing to cooperate.

 

I just started this game a week or so ago so I am still not sure of how big the player base is and how much people play the game. In lower level, I never had any wait times but I'm not sure how it is up around 3000+ That is why I set it to weekends so that everyone will converge at the same time. These of course can be changed depending on how many players are there =D

Also glad that you liked the ideas. I got some more ready but I have been typing this for far too long instead of doing my work hahaha

 

Bumping to get more ideas from other players.

 

Nice ideas --- I wouldn't like to see squad limitations (atleast not as a starting point). The metagame & how it develops is what would make 5vs5 interesting, banning setups (before proving broken) just limits options. 3 Fixer teams is hardly gamebreaking, 5yellow boats (in a coordinated 5vs5 setting) would wreak that team apart in 2mins.

 

Hey,
Lots of cool stuff to look at and consider! Really appreciate the effort you've done to explain how these modes would work. One thing to point out though, is that BB is all about competition, so perhaps the Unranked Battle and Practice Modes are not close enough to our core. As always, we'll pass on the ideas that seem to resonate the most with the community in general. Thanks for playing!

Yeah great explanation and ideas! I agree all your ideas.

 

What about there would be a fee in tornament mode and better prizes? Fee can be sugar(since I see lots of people complaining about how much sugar they have) and reward may be a limited time perk. A perk for a while with decent additions on it then it dissappears when its expire?

 

I have already talked in the in-game chat about tournament mode. I would like to see it, but I thought it'd be better if there were no item cap but standard items and ships for everyone. The level could be of course adjusted but in one tournament all items would be for example tier iii rares or tier iv epics, whatever. Also the ships should be same level. It would be great if there were mk6 tournaments but also mk2 tournaments. The level of items could be fitted for the ships. It's no idea to fight with mk6 ships and common items, or mk1 ships and legendary weapons.

In the tournaments all ships and items could be available so the teams could pick a perfect team and perfect weapons for every player. Also the classes could be really specified if there were a healer, killer, stunner, burner or whatever the teams would find useful.

A some kind of entry level would be nice, for example captain level 20 or something (I haven't thought about the exact level) to make playing with multiple accounts in a tournament more difficult.

I'd love to see a tournament mode in the game because standarded items and ships would really show which team is the best one - it would mean nothing if the players had used thousands of euros or nothing, or if they have had luck with their crates and received lots of epic items they need.

 

Betting in-game ressources would be thrilling! I'm excited about all your suggestions. Let's hope the dev will implement this.

 

Sea monsters fights would be awesome too but I'm afraid devs won't ever implement this because they're afraid of drifting away from the PvP spirit. Even practice/unranked battles frighten them whereas it alreadys exists in fully PvP games such as Clash Royale or Hearthstone that showed a blatant success.

 

Well i suppose the fee is pearl. I know i dont like it if it uses pearl but look clash royale. They use gems for participating the tournament. If we use sugar, everybody can easily join tournamenr and get a lot of prizes

 

Those modes sound really cool for knockout I would like 1v1 as well as fleet, and then maybe a duel mode.

 

Idd love to see a FFA mode
Around 6 players ffa on a standard map would be fun

 

What is FFA

 

Free for all. Like kill everything that moves basically.

 

Owh i know that mode. No teaming so everyone are our enemy right?

 

Ya Everyone kills everyone
It would have to be all of 1 ship type or it would be unfair

 

Yeah i think so
