Team Capture the Flag!?
Wed, 06/29/2011 - 10:37
Wouldn't anybody agree that this game would be awesome if it had CTF? 4 vs. 4
Requirements: ALL 4 star gear and up. (Primary, Secondary, Shield, Armor, AND Helmet)
Restrictions: Bombs. (It'd be too annoying to have a Shivermist or Ash of Agni spammer guarding the flag at all times, besides, guns can create status effects anyways)
Time limit: 20 minutes.
Death and spawn: Once you have been killed you will respawn again in 5 seconds in a SAFE area in the map, away from enemies.
Entrance fee: 25CE PER GAME.
Reward: 5500CR for everybody on the winning team, losing team gets nothing. (But hey, at least you had fun right?)
About the map: The map will be symmetrical. In the middle of the map will be a super freeze vial (which will not respawn after being picked up). Other vials, such as curse, fire, poison, shock, etc, will be scattered in "hidden" areas around the map (these vials will respawn after 1 minute its been thrown). Flag room will be square and will have the health generators in them. There will be 4 entrances into the flag room, the entrances will have those force fields that block off attacks to prevent "cheap kills." The 4 paths leading to the entrances will have a different pattern to them. The path that faces towards the other team's flag will be plain, no traps. The opposite path (leading to the gate in the back) will have the spike pattern, similar to the ones in Royal Jelly Palace. North gate path will consist of a FEW elemental traps, like the ones in the training hall. South gate path will have 3 gates that open when you strike their switches with a gun. The area that has the super freeze vial will be like a huge, open rectangle.
Map theme? I guess the map will look similar to FSC, Royal Jelly Palace, Haven, or one of the clockworks. You guys decide.
More info: Players in the red flag team will be indicated as red on the radar and players in the blue flag team will be indicated as blue. Your character's color will not change to red or blue, so don't worry. In the beginning of the game there will be a 5 second countdown (AFTER all players have connected and spawned) before the force fields become permeable. There will be a "create a game" or "join a game" option. Party leader (whoever started the game) has the option to make the game invite only, guild member only, friend only, or open. If the host (person with best connection) leaves then the person who had the second best connection will become the new host. People can quit anytime they feel like it.
NOTE: This is an exclusive for people who have obtained 4 star and 5 star gear ONLY. They are the players who have almost nothing left to do in the game.
Have anything to add? Feel free! I would like to see your opinions, suggestions, and friendly criticism! :D

Sorry I was playing Black Ops
Sorry I was playing Black Ops and I was just thinking like an xbox gamer at the moment with the hosting LOL. I mentioned the time limit already and the reason why I say only tier 3 is because then tier 1 and 2 players may keep farming and nobody would go into the clockworks anymore. Plus the higher tiers could 1 hit them or something. I do agree with the mineral suggestion, pre-gear up, and traps though. Also, 25ce entrance fee and nothing for the losers cause CTF would be very easy to farm for crowns. If losers got anything then CTF should be a week-end only gate because OOO has to use this to make some players wanna spend real-world money to buy CE too you know? (Though I've never payed them a penny before).
What's your overall opinion about a multiplayer CTF mode?

i had a thought about a
i had a thought about a reverse capture the flag kind of game.
it would involve both teams having a fort with energy that is attacked by zombies that revive when a totem is near them.
the idea would be to get the totem into the other teams half in order to revive the zombies so they attack their fort.
the zombies themselves can be attacked by the players but no player could directly damage a fort.
there could be multiple totems for larger maps.

This is not FPS Game!
Why you must compare MMO games to FPS games like COD...
MMO will be MMO and FPS will be FPS !
SK isn't FPS so bye.

Sutirem, how would you
Sutirem, how would you implement PVP then?
i think a capture the flag game could offer up a fun solution other than just having two knights attacking each other till the other dies.
this would only be one aspect of the pvp there are other things that could also be done.

@d3an79,
You know, did you ever see any MMO Game with CTF? - i saw one time (RoM), and it isn't funny = Wait 1 min, for noobs then go (Run) try to don't be killed by others (If you die respawn 2-5 mins 0.o), pick it up get back, don't die, pick up again.. (teams 5vs5) ...and yeah it wasn't CTF that was Capture the Diamond/Crystal don't remember...
And yeah there will be a problem for this CTF.....becouse....of.....CAMPERS ! ( xD )
To do this CTF they have to add PVP to it, and they even didn't finished making PVP mode for SK.
I would suggest better name for this! i have great idea and this can be v.funny!
My idea name is "CTM" - Capture The Monster.
2 Teams (4 players each or 2)
1 Mob!
1st team left side second team right side monster is on top! all teams must step on Team Button and when the 2 teams do this gates to their spawn will close, mob will be released from trap - he should be v.fast so to catch him you need team work (Spiral Knights Hearth) while everybody will be want to catch mob he forget to fight with enemy team (Yup, pvp) if somebody dies he will don't be able to play in this round until friend from his team wont open gate then he must step on button that will open gates (yes opening gate for your teammate will also open gate for enemy) ok, so back to monster, when somebody will pick him he will have to run (up or down - 1 way will be a trap if he step on wrong button he will be trapped and catched mob will be teleported to his spawn (middle of map) and that player will have to fight with 5-10 mobs in room (v.little room), if he die or survive gate will open and he can go help his team win this round
(TRAP button should be random - you know one time on right one time on left...)
Hearths should spawn on "arena" in corners (2 little hearths for 30 seconds in 2 down corners) 2 big hearths on top of room spawn time 1 minute.
Backing again to catching mob, you catched mob? Run as fast as you can to room (nobody knows what room is good and what room is trap) so be carefoully! if you will get to room and press good button (only luck can help you) gate will open (in this room) and you will have to drop down mob in special hmmm....place "something like button no idea...
LoLz? Ima crazy! anyway, this is my idea CTM! Yup, i know its weird xD.
Capture The Mob!

@Sutirem,
Sounds good, i
@Sutirem,
Sounds good, i like the element of fun and teamwork and the randomness, tho that aspect could get annoying if your team consistently gets trapped while the other team seems to get through every time.

@d3an79,
Didn't thought that somebody will like this crazy idea ;D and to fun, teamwork, randomness you have to think too ;d
What if 2 of you team mates die and 2 of you are trapped in room?
Enemy team is trying to catch mob now!....yup you loosed.
As reward could be (for winning a round): Tokens (1-3) Crowns (200-400) random dropped item like fine fabric (you played 2hrs of CTM you got free 1 blue shard and other items - not v.good items!)
Backing to crowns (200-400) you have 4 players in team, and if you gain 400cr(random drop) then
1 player - 100cr
2nd player - 100cr
3th player - 100cr
4th player - 100cr
Idea for now..

@sutirem I wasn't COMPARING
@sutirem I wasn't COMPARING CoD and Spiral Knights O_o I was playing CoD while making this forum lol. What "inspired" me to suggest this was Runescape's (yes I know Runescape is a FAIL MMORPG) Castle Wars.
Btw, in CTF you'd hold the flag the same way you'd hold a key in the clockworks.
And that CTM idea is interesting... though I'd like there to be better rewards. I'm tier 3 and my knight can literally just poop those items..

wrong!
sk DOES care about their players because, without their players they have no money!
they are hopefully looking through all these suggestions as we type and hoping to make their game better!

Just feeding us with updates (Like trolls) one update for month/2 months, and eat noobs from ours hands and pay for CE.

Definitelly yes!
I would realy like to see some team vs. team PVP!
Battlegrounds from World of Warcraft could be a decent inspiration *hint hint*
They have always been lotta fun and always required team play and cooperation between players in order to win, so... it'd be realy nice to see something similar (only more simple) here in SK! :))
(and yeah, I was a WOW addict back then so I like to compare WOW and other games :D )
for 25 entrance fee, I had better walk out with something if I loose. Half of the winning pot would be nice or one third.
as for traps near the Flag room, it could be random. this way you couldn't predict what traps would be there.
we could do construction gates that require minerals to change the theme.
You could do a 1 minute pre-gear before the match. This should allow plenty of time to switch gear and make sure everyone is in and loaded.
Wouldnt the host be OOO? I cannot see a player hosting a PVP-CTF map when the developers are fully capable of doing such thing.
OOO could do Tier 1,2 and 3. This will allow anyone to do this. Yes, those people with higher star gear in said Tiers could do better, but who knows.
You should have a time limit for the duration of the map. I wouldn't want to spend 4 hours trying to get 5,500 cr. Maybe a time limit of 10-20 minutes.
