Don't feel bad thrillhaus, it took my thread 11 months to get into the game...and it was probably already in their list of "Things we should probably do" before I suggested it.
Don't worry about the CE sink for reviving, Jempire won't play non-CE revive, pretty sure they're the only ones who sink CE by playing LD.
I joke, of course.

I don't care if people keeps using AT, as long as they don't spamm at me.
So if i have a chance to decide to fight ppl in custom matches would be great, i would be happy and togglers as well.
I support this idea, i hope GMs check this and do something to upgrade lockdown.
This is better than take off AT from LD, because all players will have a chance to decide for themselfs.
I'll bring all the spanish people to support this idea.
@Feller :
I don't know why, but I feel happy that you decided to change your way of speech and thinking.
Welcome <(^_^)>

For clarification on the respawn time thing, the current timer is NOT random. It is based on a metronome where players respawn every fifteen seconds, and are incapable of respawning in the first five seconds or so after dying.
I have relevant information, is it not illegal? ;)
^That was a terrible sentence. Oh well.
Would this be only for GvG, or could you create lobbies and invite friends?
@noklip
"first five seconds or so" - not entirely sure what the actual number is here. I think it might actually be seven but I'm not really sure.
@Klipik
Not entirely sure if thrill is still checking this thread but I think that the answer would be yes. However, players an already create extra guilds to make their own teams.
Bumped again because LD is awesome and needs more bells & whistles added to it.
Ok I agree with this, BUT let the OOO be known that this is only about GvG not the RLD. We do not have enough players that play LD for people to try to customize the game too much and end up not having enough people for the different types of customizations.. so yes it is a great idea for GvG but do NOT implement this on RLD.
I just hate for something dumb to come out of this because of a misunderstanding..
I quit this game over a year ago, and most of Aequitas was gone before the new year. There's a host of players waiting to come back to a more fair lockdown. Lets do this +1
I wholeheartedly support this idea, and this would mean a huge increase in GvG for at least 3 guilds that I know of.
It would be really nice to set SOME options for LD matches, and might increase the interest in Lockdown. For example, looking for a 3v3 match. A 4v4. Something to specify team sizes ahead of time. Maybe even options to set specialty matches. All swords match. All guns matches. Just Gran Faust. Any weapon except Polaris. Specific maps. Am I the only person that sees the benefit in this? I don't really care about the CE revives and UVs so much, but things like knowing you're going to be in a 3v3 vs a 6v6 match ahead of time would be nice, especially for those of us with older hardware or large amounts of network latency due to only US or EU servers to choose from. 3v3 runs beautiful for me, 6v6 is laggy. Matches without a ton of Polaris spam run smooth for me, matches WITH Polaris spam (or as I like to call it, PoLAGis) ... are virtually unplayable due to massive lag lockups.
I would actually play MORE lockdown if there were more options to make it more playable and reduce lag.
Made my own post, forgot about this one. gonna copy-paste my idea
How it would work:
#1 Open Lockdown interface, open to a tab that says "private match"
#2 Choose the rules (AA on/off, Trinkets on/off, Uv's on/off, ce rev on/off, the tier, spectators on/off)
#3 Choose the map (NO FROSTBITE PLOX, "random map" is an option)
#4 Choose who to invite. it should work like a party, with the options of:
-Public match (anyone can join)
-Allow friends (friends can join)
-allow guild (guildies can join)
-private (only invite)
#5 Choose the teams (obviously must be balanced to start 1v1,2v2,3v3,4v4,5v5,6v6)
#6 (optional) Betting. Leader chooses amount everybody has to bet, and it goes in a pool. the winning team (not including leavers) gets the money, split equally.
Why I want it:
-Easier to coordinate 1v1's, tournaments, have fun with friends, do bets, etc..
-No downside to it (besides the devs having to do some work ;-) which they should anyways)
Optional:
Being able to kick people (and they can't rejoin without your invite)
Being able to move people on a team (and a "lock to team" function)
Everybody needs to press the "ready" button (obviously)
Limiting the amount of spectators
Delay on the spectating to prevent cheating (5sec delay, 1 minute delay, etc..)
/e starts petition to get this thread stickied on the front page
@Redblades:
Although I have already gave +1 for this thread, there are 2 problems that are concerning me.
1)How would you handle the rank points and Krogmo Coins? If there are no restrictions, it will be abuse-able and exploitable.
2)Wouldn't making private matches make the RLD empty? I mean, if everyone is going to use private matches, where you can't get Kroggies nor Rank, there will be no use of RLD unless you need the latter two. How would you solve that?
@OP:
I really wish that Nick replies on this thread. It's way more important than any other threads that he had replied so far.
+1 for the idea, even if I think the devs/GMs already know this should exist, just like in any game that involves PvP.
I think that, to prevent people from leaving RLD forever you could put a decent fee to play a match. Say... 30 ce/mist per person. Doesn't seem too much, and I would be glad to pay some ce to have some real nice games with some decent rules.
Or you could increase the number of tokens you get from RLD:
Winning team gets 4 tokens, losing team gets 2.
Bonus prize cost: 25 energy
In Custom games:
Winning team gets 2, losing gets 1.
Bonus prize cost: 50 energy
Could work in my opinion.
Lastly, I agree with dragneel about the need to receive some comments from Nick.

Rank points and krogs exploitable? PFT
I've totally never heard of The Jempire and The Minions of Jempire
Bump...
Almost one year later and I'm still waiting an answer from the developers. Even if it's a "no, we don't want to make lockdown more competitive". :<
Doc (drdrj) told me to bump this. So it looks like I am. Also, we need this. Anything to increase player retention.

I'm gonna have to totally support this, specially since Unity is now been playing GvG. CE rev'ing is sometimes a bit too overwhelming for us or for who we VS. Hope Three Rings really takes this thread into considerations and can give us custom lobbies would be nice.
+1 is not enough, this is exactly what Spiral Knights needs.
A bump for a dream.
