New Game Modes Ideas Thread

2 things:
New names for both teams are needed. How about 'protecters' and 'attackers'?

I think the amount of people in the payload's radius should determen how fast it moves. So, 4 protecters in the radius would make it move faster than 2 protecters. And, Say, if there were 5 protecters and 3 attackers, it would move forward like there were 2, and visa versa.

 

You could have friend damage speed it up and unfriends slow it down... so they can shoot at the payload or an unfriend... tough choices.

 

Also, Miku what do you think of the boat race idea? I think it would be hella fun...

 

PvE battles. Like Raids or just Boss battles. Imagine a Giant 200k defender against 10 captains, or a giant Fixer with an army of little shooters. These would be really hard to kill, and every captain would have only 3-10 chances to kill it pro week. The Rewards would be great. The overall level and difficulty of each boss should be calculated according to the summary of the challengers-party gear and captain level.

 

Scenario/operation game mode

A somewhat coop mode Vs bots
Could be things like
(Added new type of entity, onshore installations such as factory,turrets,etc.)
Defend the base
Capture enemy shipyard
Fleet escort(a couple of no weapon mk1fixers,mk1 enforcers with common cannon for supportive fire as an allied bot)
Rescue captured allied mk7fixer,and then get back to safety(while going back the fixer must not die) (the allied bot fixer have passive repair pulse that lightly heals everyone close overtime equal to one sec of common lvl1repair pulse per second.)

 

Speeders would just dominate. Its unfair for the other boat players.

 

Also how about capture the flag? It starts like a normal,battle but instead of a capture point you have a flag which acts in the same way but can be passed to other teammates by shooting them.

 

Bump

 

I love this idea +1

 

What about a simple 3v3

 

I have a suggestion: Invasion mode!

In this mode, teams of 5 to 10 (can be selected by the matchmaking system or custom by a group of players) will battle against some invaders which are AI controlled. The invaders can be any combination of the five boats and their toughness and number will increase after every wave. There can be a 'big boss' to defeat every 5 levels. The number of waves can be a large number, maybe around 20. A team would have to destroy all the invaders to proceed to the next wave, and there is a 1-2 minute break between waves. Each completed wave can give some rewards, like gold and sugar, and every boss defeated can give some pearls, item pieces or even complete weapons! After the whole team dies or finishes all the waves everyone can be given some more rewards or/and an item box based on their performance. The highest number of waves survived can be shown somewhere on the player's information/profile (when you tap on the player's name). This is just a random idea I did not spend much time thinking about, so feel free to comment and point out some flaws.

EDIT: One flaw I found is that one battle would take a long time to complete

 

Splatoon 2 did something like this called Salmon Run. It was only 3 waves per game, so they weren't exceedingly long, but it used a seperate ranking system that determined the difficulty. Higher difficulty = better rewards. They also made it so that the gamemode is only available like every other day.

I actually got bored and wrote this whole concept out, but it's too long so I'll make a new thread for it in the future.

 

New Gamemode Idea: Free Play
A gamemode accessible through custom games. You can play with 1-10 players. There's no time or objective and you can respawn if you sink. It's literally a mode where you can explore the maps and practice your movement skills, or you can use it to spar with some friends nonstop.
Because the game has no real end, you may leave the game with a battle command that says "quit match" in place of the "capture" command.

 

Fairplay tournament.
A tournament like in Clash Royale, with boats at the same level for everyone, weapons at the same level, same tiers and perks.

 

maybe a casual mode too?

 

i have an idea for the loot:
win = 20 000 gold, X sugar.
Every kill = 2 000 gold, X sugar
win 1 round = 10 000 gold
Help push 2 win 1 round = 5 000 gold, X sugar
And maybe the match lasts 8 min?
So the maximum gold earned with 0 kills and helping the pushing is:
20 000, 20 000, 10 000
50 000 gold, X sugar (can change if you get kills, etc)
This could be... ace or master's loot?

 

Love it! And maybe just a 10-30 second break

 

my other idea was to make a 'battle royale' mode.
I posted an idea of it

 

5-10 seconds

 

-----MASS TEXT INCOMING-----
I like the free play/infinite war game mode idea, it could be implemented like you have a button "enter ship" on the main menu, and go free on battle bay itself you could shoot other active ships and you could explore, wander throughout the whole island, you could stop on different harbors and live near other battle places (battle bay is actually near First flood and Destruct 9, it has the same environment) and you could get different items more likely on different places, like frost things near chill zone and subzero, (wow how creative) etc...
