So I had an idea for a PvP mode, Capture the Flag.

There will be 2 teams, and both of them have a fort. The goal is simple: try to guard your flag while capturing the other one.
Flags would be held like keys and pots so you can't lay bombs or something while running away back to your own fort.

Maybe 5 people on each team, so some can guard the flag, guard your fort, and get the other flag.
If you kill a person on the opposite team that captured your own flag, you have to carry it back to your fort.
Between forts would be the battleground. Also, you can only be revived by your team members, not with energy.

So what do you think of my idea?

good but a fu errores

its a good idea but there will be times were the other team is totily deafeted and the other team will capter the flag very easily so they should hold the flag like we hold the crytales so we can diffend are self when holding the flag also instead a teammate has to revive us we should just spawn at the top of the base or fort or a spawn back counter counting down from 5 or 3 so good ideas but a fuw errors

yeah but...

Yeah...we have to see what the PvP system will be like first. (I petitioned for that idea btw ^^)

But capture the flag does sound good. Respawning...I agree with shadow.

Maybe each hit has knockback and each does normal damage? though physical effects and fight styles will be the same. Don't want noobs dying in the first strike. What I mean is that anything physical will still be possible, bullet split, energy blade strikes, combo style etc.

It's.. Davichii..

@tuiopo96 Everyone spells my name wrong! But that's okay, I'm used to it. Anyway, I see what you mean, but it really wouldn't matter what it will be like, since my idea isn't exactly PvP, rather something similar. And you other people, yeah, I like the idea of spawning back at your base rather than dying.

More like "Capture the Glaf."

Everyone who's ever played an MMO thinks the MMO would be greater if it had Capture the Flag.

What is it with people and flags and capturing them? Why can't people just settle down, take care of their own flags, raise it to be a big strong banner then see it off in to the wild keeping fond memories of its growth as a life lesson?

Why must we abuse these flags so in constant struggles between sides!? Why can we not let the flags go free?! WHY!?

I'll tell you why.

Communism.

It should be a 10 second

It should be a 10 second respawn or you can call a medic.I think this idea is very good.I think its should be sorta like a first person shooter except its in a its in a vird's eye view.Each players should start with a full tier 2 armour like full colbat,or wolver etc. They start with tier 2 swords too.A calibur or brandish.There will sometimes be a random box and when you hit it it will be a better sword like a tempered calibur or fireburst brandish.Sorta like halo except you hit random boxes.The map should be meduim size.Oh when you like kill someone you get some points and then you can put somethings like UV except it also have statics.Like a calibur with CTR med for like 50 points or something.

BTW ERRODOU PLEASE DO NOT BE RACIST I HAVE COMMUNIST BLOOD because my parents were in a communist countryand well considered communist citizens?E.xcept my parent's country is good friends with everyone.Plus I have the freedom of speech because I was born in America so Im a american citizen.

The idea is nice But

The idea is nice, Capture the Flag... when u u have a flag in ur hand, and ur running speed is still the same is not very fun. if u gonna say u can use GUN to shoot the guy who taking the flag, when u shooting, ur moving speed goes bad. it's like u are walking than running... u can dodge very easy. u can shield urself... gun gives less damage than others weapon.
so at least, when u have the flag, ur speed low down 20-50%, so it will be fair. gun is very useless in this kind of PvP. bombs aren't very useful, unless that bomb is Ice, Fire or Lightning.... those others are worse...

Capture the Flag reminds me to Mabinogi( Nexon ) and Iris Online( Gpotato )... u should look them

Flag new idea.

Ok the guy with flag can't shield but melee with flag but it should be a weak flag.

Errodou...

Duh, he was trying to be funny. I do that all the time with varying degrees of success.

Trying to be funny is all good, just please...

No: Racist, political, discriminatory, sexist, stereotypical or other such references please. I'm the sort of person who is heavily against discrimination of differences of any kind. Difference prevents monotony, and dislike leads to hate, which leas to obsession, which leads to conflict. This often ends up as a rift between personal worlds that is only crossed when one side decides to attempt to 'teach the other a lesson'.
....

I need to chill out more. Adolescent hormones are really not helping...

Anyway, flag bearers should be slowed down a bit, otherwise catching them will be impossible. Also, shots with a gun should have a pull-back effect, meaning when hit, the flag bearer is pulled back a bit in the direction of his base. Damage of weapons should be reduced to equal levels, while still retaining their status effects and have knock-back effects. Shields should interrupt a sword strike, so the attacker cannot attack for a split second after his blocked attack as to allow a counter-attack. Otherwise the defender is screwed when his shield breaks. under the constant combo assault.

Just for the record...

...Communism isn't a race. It's politics. Next you're going to tell me Japanese is a religion then call me sexist for not being so. In that case I would argue, with your logic "Rabbits can't swim;" a trigger that would activate something deep within you, froth with hate in which you would pull every stereotypical card on me in order to win some unspoken game we're playing.

"Chill out dude," I would say, "We're playing Chess." Reminding you of the table laid before you.

You flip the table.

Fine, we'll play Monopoly instead. Just don't let me catch you slipping pink fifties from the bank.

Jerk.

I'd enjoy a Capture The Flag game, but everyone has the same movement speed... and even then, Mercurial Armor would become a staple. I don't want to see silver-thorn-armor sprinting back and fourth with tattered fabric hoisted on sticks run back and fourth across a blocky plain. We'd need an even playing field...

Man I wonder how Three Rings is balancing their other PVP games...

uuuh i like this idea.. would

uuuh i like this idea.. would be great if the flag is held like keys so the team has to play accordingly and shieldbump, knockback etc to protect the runner.
dropping the flag like you can do with keys would be good too.

and to return the flag one must hold it for lets say.. 10 seconds? atleast enough time he could be killed (then returning the flag isnt too easy and same tactics would apply aswell)

...Errodou...

1. My guess is that you are Japanese. A plain guess, made from you name composition to the reference to Japanese.

2. WTF?! I wasn't trying to be insulting! I'd just covered all the things that cause conflict that I am against! I did not say you were being any of the extra, then you tell me that I'm being a Jerk? And I DID cover politics, It just wasn't first. I KNOW what Communism and Capitalism and Democracy is.

My guess is that the offence came from my post before that. For clarification, when I said 'I think', I said what I meant. I'm still not entirely sure what trolling is.

...

I DON"T blow things out of proportion. If what someone says is racist, its's racist. I wouldn't to pull out any other topics to further aggravate the situation.

And yeah, I do have a lot of hate, but it only comes out when relevant, and even then it really does not make any difference.

I SUCK at chess and the game would probably be over in 2 minutes.

"Just don't let me catch you slipping pink fifties from the bank."
...
I haven't played a game of Monopoly in around 6 years, and even then didn't cheat. Being accused is not cool man.

Whatever else you decide to say, yeah I DO take offence. YOU blew MY words out of proportion and I am tired of this happening.

I am the way I am. Therefore I don't judge people for the way they are. You best not judge me based on your own assumptions. No, that was not a threat. I assume that is what You would assume.

Y'know the thing about assuming? I heard this from My economics teacher: If you assume, you make an 'ASS' out of 'U' and 'ME'.

I'm pretty sure that applies here.

I don't hold grudges, and I am hoping this ends here and Now.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 seconds is too long I think. perhaps 5. If you're being chased, it'd be kind of a drag to try to hold on for so long.

.......K sorry Davichii...

K...Sorry bout the random arguing on your page. I'll stop if he/she stops.

And I spelled your name right! ^^ I think...

Anyway... I suppose the flag bearer should have some difficulty keeping the flag. Perhaps a successful attack that hits him causes him to drop the flag? He can still shield, but if he's hit while not shielded he'll drop it. Otherwise he/she could just full out run to the base while taking damage and not die, therefore not dropping the flag.
The shield interruption idea would encourage people to use their shields, and not just "may whoever is the fastest at clicking the mouse win".

Not sure if trolling.

You would make a terrible politician.

But you'd do great as a president, or a radio talk-show host :D

Also, I just figured out that the most players the server can have in a game (Exploring clockworks, dungeons, and PVP) cap out to 4 people.

At most you'd have 2v2 in Capture the Flag...

...but it'd be pretty cool if you defended your flag from an onslaught of gremlins trying to capture it :3

Meh, good thing I'm not aiming for politics ^^

Presidency isn't at the top of my agenda either. ^^!

WHAT!? ONLY 4 PEOPLE AT A TIME!?

2v2 seems a bit underwhelming SK... that's not nice...(sniff) At least a max of 4v4 would be okay...

Heh

Kewl. My parent's are Singaporean, and I'm a born asian New Zealander. I still find it annoying how my dad can be so biased racially though...

Btw we are now off topic. I would still prefer more players per match. Shouldn't be hard, seeing as the Advanced training hall can hold ...what, 6 players?
