+1 But kill RedblAAdes and DrAAgnel will be to easy with this :(

No. >_>

@Feller They know is a joke -.-

A custom Lockdown lobby is exactly what this game needs. Many multilayer games use this system and it works very well. Random example

Make the game more enjoyable for all players.

+1.

I would like bombing the knights out of dem ASI High-Very High acheroners and voltedgers.

Yay finally people can do lockdown whitout being rich and overpowered ! + 1 thousand of millions.

"impossible amount for 85% of players."
"For 85% of players"
"85% of players"
"85%"

That means that 15% of the players in SK are very rich? Isn't it 10% of the game? :P

If striker can still use dual-penta hearts, I don't see anything 'elite' about this after all.

Forgive me my hostests for I double posted. This is my repention as it was not my intention.

I actually like this, you go Duckman!

I think the most fair way to balance leavers would be to increase the speed of capturing. The formula would simply be:
Original amount of player on team/players on team.
If there are four players and none have left, it's 4/4 and thus 1. If one leaves, it's 4/3 and thus 1.33. Another one leaves and it's 4/2, or 2. This means that points can always be capped at the same speed as they could be originally.

I really do hate you, and I don't know why I'm contributing to a thread you made.

But I will up this thread. I must say that it will be a more enjoyable way to play the game without all the added extras that it has to it. It makes it a more simple way to play. If all the options are turned off, everything on the field will be fair.

+1

Top skolvy set? Really? Not accounting for accessories, what uvs do u have?

+1

If this happens, it will be a reason for me to play this game.

Also, being able to see other players' ping status would be good IMO.

What Theirillusion said, AT will be gone +1

I don't really care about UVs, but heart trinkets are what make the game interesting. It's not fun when people die in 2 hits. And trinkets are so easy to get, you don't even need the 5* version, the 4* works well, +2 hearts are not going to make any difference most of the time.

And yes for lockdown outfits and ping status.

I like this, however I do see potential problems. Although I'd look forward to this, as would other "elite" LD players, do you think that it would be much harder for people to find matches? In other words, are there usually enough elite (or adventurous non-elite) players on around the same times, all day, to make this a viable option? Considering that the vast majority of the LD community relies on all the usual buffs, at this point I'd think not.

I like the idea of a frag counter, but that option is ripe for abuse. You guys have been around long enough to realize that a lot of players get their kills by rushing into a melee that's already begun, and pick off softened targets. Either that, or they travel with the pack and just happen to get the finishing blow. The end result may be that people idolize certain players for their kill count, but the reality could be that they didn't necessarily have to work as hard as others to get them. IF, and only if, people can keep that in mind, then by all means implement that system.

+1 for the "No AT," UV's, or trinkets

I love the idea for taunts, but not the idea of buying them.

Your proposal is a more fair version than what we currently have. However I think it could be improved.

1) Your Elite Lockdown appears to takes place in T3. Is it because you assumed most skilled Lockdown players are veterans who are 5*?
In T3 Lockdown, people die really quickly, especially with no health trinkets. The element of surprise is often enough to guarantee a KO. This is one of the main reasons I play mostly T2. I think it would be beneficial if everyone were given more staying time on the field so more combat and strategy could occur. How you want to go about implementing that is up to you.

2) I don't understand why you feel there is a need to ban UVs but not all trinkets.
Your system basically ruins armor UVs but made weapon UVs still viable by allowing trinkets. With two trinkets, the total armor boost possible is two +Med trinkets. With two trinkets, the weapon boost could potentially reach +VH for ASI or CTR on an entire class of weapons. This would further compound the quick deaths that happen in T3, pushing it more towards luck than skill.

The main reason UVs (and AT) are regarded as cheap in T3 is mainly because of combo spamming GF and DA. Those weapons are ridiculously overpowered and you might as well be dead if someone manages to get the jump on you with them (assuming no trinkets). Eliminating UVs would mitigate the combo spamming problem, but connection (unfixable) and the element of surprise (unfixable) still plays a big role in that.
People always complain about UVs and trinkets because that's what players have control over. However, the main problem is that players die too fast in general. In T2, even the people with ASI VH and good connection can be managed by using strength in numbers and some strategy. In T3, they just have to spam faster and everyone dies.

Skill is about hitting the opponent more than he can hit you. However, luck makes hits irregular. If people die in a small number of hits, there's a greater chance that the victor of a battle would actually be less skilled.

If you want an "Elite Lockdown", you should remove all bonuses that is not inherent to gear and make everyone have MORE health so more skill is needed to take down an opponent.

Because apparently the internet is no different than a high school popularity contest. Perhaps you need to gather for yourself a gang of cronies who will mindlessly support whatev you do.

But thankfully, despite disparities in forum popularity, no one on the player side truly has any sway over anything here out of OOO's wise decision to simply not give a shift. I'm not even being nasty or sarcastic there - a great policy, "Equality through apathy" is. No favorites are made because OOO couldn't care less - it's actually one of the few things here I find refreshing.

Also - to answer seriously - it was all in the purty wrapping paper Feller used: He made his suggestion come across as an option - an option for everyone who didn't want to bother competing with the 'roided-out UV people while the aforementioned UV-junkies could still get their validation issues resolved.

Yours, whether you intended to or not, came across more as a petition to get rid of UVs. Also, some people didn't read - simple as that - to see that this was also to be an optional mode, but like I've said in a few of my own earlier posts, when the elite see that their precious finance-based advantages might be OMG TAKEN AWAY FOREVAR, they get ULTRA defensive and will tear apart ANYTHING that DARES suggest anything that would balance things NOT in their favor. "Wait... this doesn't work to *MY* benefit? ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK! KILL THE HERETIC!"

It's all a petty issue of semantics, really. If your wrapping paper is also purty and pandering enough, you can sneak even the STUPIDEST things past this place!

(Actually, I take this back - there are some pretty smart and analytical peeps on here who will, regardless, still rip it up.)

To bad i can't come up whit a good idea to support this tread :/

It's kind of odd, I wouldn't have thought this the "elite" option (for some reason I thought all the "elites" were the people who want to flex their giant uv's and things, I've gotten more crap from people over my gear and class choice (guardian) than I have over the fact that I'm mediocre/average rather than elite). Whether I'm "elite" or not I'd play this mode just cause I'm not interested in investing lots of time and money into uvs.

I do like the options presented though. That said, I think it should be no trinkets period if trinkets are disallowed.

Disallowing health trinkets but still allowing damage trinkets doesn't really fix the problem, it just shifts trinket use to a different trinket. Damage and health are like two sides of the same coin.

I also don't think kill streaks and more ways to taunt people really adds to the game. The only time I see taunting it's between people that know each other (in good fun), or it's someone that's not especially good trying to compensate for the fact that they got stomped (butt hurt and even worse than me).
