The Subject just kinda hit me when I tried on a Flourish & Fencing Jacket on the Auction House a few days ago.
How would you guys feel about Lockdown Being Completely Changed into some sort of Fencing Brawl?
Off topic, but I'd be happy if they took out the kits and just let us use our regular shields.
Ban Skolver and I'm happy. SHIIIIIIIIIIIIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!
...but seriously, that idea about Bonus vs. (type) having double an effect on people with two pieces of corresponding armor on was one of the best I've heard to date. I'd love to see a little stragety in LD for once, instead of Clone Wars.
Wait, why was this Moved to Suggestions? I wasn't Suggesting it, I was just asking what people would think if something like this Happened.
NO! I'm a complete noob when it comes to using my sword. Hence NOOOOOOOO! You should really be asking if there should be another game.
And it is a suggestion. A suggestion to replace LD with something else and if we like that idea :) (NO)
"How would you guys feel about Lockdown Being Completely Changed into some sort of Fencing Brawl?"
wtf?
Thought it was already like that.
Well, I meant More "Formal", not with the Hides of a Dead Animal. But you gotta Admit, having a Helmet like this would be pretty Awesome, even though you wouldn't be able to Wear it Outside of uh..."Fence Down?" Would be like a Re-Skinned Jelly Helm with a Light on the Back like the PAX Bombhead.
I like LD the way it is. Just sayian.
Although I would like to have a gun based pvp. I'm working on an idea right now but idk if it'll work unless someone can tell me how to switch a weapon with a chromalisk in spiralspy.
Keep Lockdown the way it is. I wish you good luck with the new PvP mode, though.
There used to be a mode like this. But between server lag, no specific goals to guide player movement, and all players having equal movement speed... well, it was basically a giant game of tag. Speaking from experience, it wasn't that fun. Any new implementation would need a radically different board layout than just a giant open square melee.
The lockdown PvP mode is, frankly, a way cooler implementation.
NNOOOOOO!!!! Then Lockdown would be Fencedown. And if that wouldmt be a good Idea because they would have to make something where you only use guns because there would only be Bombs and swords D: and gunners would not be happy
I Know that.
It was a Large, Square Arena, allowing anyone to use any Weapons & Shields.
Gran Faust apparently Ruled them all.
It was called Super Brawl.
I was kinda thinking it would be Similar to that Large Square, but with fewer blocks on Regenerating Pads, Spawn Points would be on the Corners of the Map, being Covered by Forcefields to Prevent Spawn Kills. The Game will end Similar to Blast Network, after the Timer(3:50?) would Expire, declaring the Knight with the most Kills the Winner.
Heck, might even make a new Variant to the Bombhead Masks, being different looking Fencing Masks.
I dunno, I'm just throwing out Ideas there.
EDIT: @Anglefire I'm not saying that Gunners should be Left out, they should have their Own PvP Game, too. I'm saying that What if Lockdown was Changed to be Purely Based for Swords, Blast Network for Bombers & something else for Gunners.(Shoot Up?)
Hmmm Ibthink that LD stays on top and they make two more arenas/minigames/wutever and they make one for guns and one for swords but there will still be Lockdownand Blast network....
Doctorspacebar. You would like to ban skolver!?if you ban skoler Then it isnt LD anymore D=!No way!
Ban skolver everyone goes to vog or snarbolax. Unless you guys want to ban any form of wolver gear in Ld.
Wolver sets aren't overpowered; the items they boost are.
If you're gonna necro a five-month-dead topic with little imagination, at least make sure the necropost is creative to compensate..
So give a nerf to skolver? Or buff other sets of armor?
One of the issues I have with Skolver is the fact that it is an offensive armour that gets a maximum resist per piece, with no drawback. It needs adjusting, sorely.
@OP: I would quit playing LD.
If Skolver was banned, I could use Shiver with impunity. Oh wait, Snarby. Right.
But seriously, I was kidding.
I mean swords need a nerf; Wolver lines are on-par with other class sets (excluding bombers who only have elemental defense). They have the illusion of being OP because toothpicks, brandishes, DAs, and all the other 'clone' swords are.
Class sets as a whole, alongside armor sets that have no bonuses, need rebalancing. That I understand. I'm just saying that if we're gonna complain about Skolver, we should complain about Nameless and Volcanic and the like.
@Draycos, There are a few things that wolver lines hold over gunslinger and bomber lines. First, like you mentioned, bomber lines only have elemental defense. Secondly, wolver lines get status resistance from the get go. Thirdly, wolver and demo lines have a 2* variant, something gunslingers don't have. Finally, wolver and demo sets have shadow lair variations, while gunslingers don't. That last one is both a pro and a con.
They don't have a massive difference between them, even so. Well, bombers being restricted to elemental is, but just look at stuff like the Skelly, Crusader, and Plate sets.
Gunners don't have SL gear, but they have four sets otherwise, covering the defenses and another for Undead.
Not having a 2* variant screws with UVs, yes, but I wanted to focus on the sets' 5* variations, and as if they have no UVs. I've never liked how the UV system worked. I won't deny that's a problem, though.
While small holes in the ship still need to be fixed, the big ones should be patched up first.
No, then it'd be completely decided by UVs.
Starts to make a comment about how this would be a good idea, but then interrupts himself abruptly with an obnoxiously loud laughter when he gets to the part how "Lockdown isn't a fencing match already."
Over powered Skolvers with faust might be too powerful
It's not already a fencing brawl?
~Sev
Maybe add a new type of LD sans CPs? Most kills on team wins.
LD is already fun enough, why are you suggesting/asking to change it?
Why not suggest to add one instead?
Like uhhh, a CTF or CP?
POLARIS AND GRAN FAUST CANT LET THAT HAPPEN
