How would it sound to implement PvP into missions, using Lockdown and possibly Blast Network?
For example, a starter mission:

Sparring Practice:
Practice the skills you've learned so far against other players in the game, Lockdown. Lockdown is where knights battle each other to capture and hold points. In this game, you will use all of your current gear, excluding the shield which will be replaced. For your team, you can be one of three roles. Striker allows you to have a medium sword damage bonus and a sword attack speed increase. Instead of a shield, you get to dash for up to 3 seconds at a time. Note: Striker gives you less health and increases the charge time for bombers. *Explains Guardian and Recon* (I don't have the time to.) The objective of Lockdown is to reach 500 points, or 900 points depending on the area of battle! *Explains how to get to Lockdown*

--Play 1 full game of Lockdown to understand the basics of this Player Verse Player game mode--

What do you all think? Is this just one of those ideas that sounds good in my head? It just seems like it would make things a little easier for new players as well, whom always ask "What is Lockdown, and where is it?"
