Arena Mode

What about a new mode for our knights to play in?

Arena Mode
- Its a Onslaught Mode that lets go through multiple waves of enemies and along the way you earn crowns for each wave defeated, but to participate in the Arena Mode or Onslaught Mode you must get a Ticket for entrance that could be acquired by a new NPC. I thought of maybe that the Tickets would only cost 100ce. The crowns you earn for each defeated wave is increased per wave, so does the difficulty of surviving it. This way it will be easier to produce crowns and also time consuming. The cap of waves you can defeat is about wave 20 which is the most difficult wave, also it will have the highest prize pool of 10,000cr to make you really wanna finish it. And finally the Rules of this Mode.

Rules (This rules will be extreme due to the huge amount of crowns on the line)
-You must Enter ALONE.
-You can NOT die or else you lose the match and go home with a 50% decrease on the prize you've earned.
-You may not quit a Onslaught Match once you have started.
-You can not heal as well during a wave, only when you have defeated a wave will you be back in full strength.

Since this gives such a large amount of crowns per run (although if you die in the middle you get shut downed 50%), I believe that the difficulty of the waves should go to an extreme point just by reaching wave 5 since I the prize pool would increase 500cr per run like this.

Wave 1 - 500cr
Wave 2 - 1,000cr
Wave 3 - 1,500cr
Wave 4 - 2,000cr
Wave 5 - 2,500cr
And So on and so forth.

So if you die in Wave 5 for example you will get 2,500cr as a profit for the 4 waves you cleared.
If your asking why its not 5,000cr its because you were affected by the 50% decrease when you die.

The Difficulties

I think the difficulty for this Mode should be a lot harder than anything this game could offer. Like a Huge HP Lumber/Trojan, Huge swarms of slimes, Multiple Gun Puppies or Polyps, these should be put in to the field when you've reach Wave 10 since Wave 5-9 is just like going to a JK run with 4 members fighting alone (can get the difficulty of that can't you?). So my best bet is to pump up the difficulty to balance out how worth it is it to use 100 energy for 1 run of this Arena Mode.

Your Suggestions

Party Groups
- Yes its a good suggestion, but if we would apply this we would have to eliminate reviving options to balance the difficulty to the amount of the prize pool.

Number Tweaking
- I don't really think it would need tweaking and the price for the ticket is just 100ce meaning you can do it everyday using your mist, and the Prize pool is not really a bad thing that its over priced because the Arena itself is INSANELY HARD. So what I'm saying is that this mode is up to the very pros of this game those who know how to use the skills of survival for this game so not all can finish this because its like Soloing Vana without taking even 1 damage from anything. So you see its kinda balance it out and if you read the upper part "When you die you lose 50% of the profit". But I guess slashing it down to 5,000cr in Wave 20 might be good as well, and probably lowering down the difficulty as bit. So it would start to 250cr and increase with 250cr per wave.

Quitting
- I guess we could apply this as well but the 50% decrease in the profit MUST take effect so if you quit on Wave 5 you still get 2,500cr and not 5,000cr like I said earlier.

KC Combination
-It really would probably be related to it since its a Arena type thing....

Maps
-The Maps I thought of was just like the arenas in the Clockworks. Small, Trappy and Full of Dangerous Surprises (Knight hate Dangerous Surprises) so I wouldn't like it if the map is as big as Lockdown that would be time consuming.

Why can't you quit? It's the same as letting monsters kill you.

The Crown amount

The amount of crowns you get stacks so if you get 1k in wave 1 and get 1,500 in wave 2 then you would have gotten 2,500cr already so its pretty much too high so you can't leave unless you die so the 50% decrease on your gatherings will take affect and you wont get a terribly high amount of crowns unless you finish 20 waves

20 waves and the highest price is 10k? People would go there more than Vana. You would also be able to buy another ticket, making you grind it forever :/

I've asked for this once

I've asked for this once before, and the reception was pretty good. It still stands, we want survival mode.

+1, every time.

I agree

I think you MAY quit, and you may as well enter with a party. Other than that, great!. +1

maybe it could be another krogmo game "Krogmo's Arena"

Edit: this would also work well in getting items for the battle sprites

The numbers could use a bit of tweaking. As Sky said, the payout is too high for the entry cost. I do like your variation on the idea though, a wave cap and a payout cap. To my knowledge no ones actually suggested that before. Just keep in mind that it has to be balanced around the fact that no matter how hard you make it, people will beat it.

...Other than that, +1.

+1 to this idea, if you can do what Klipik asked you to do, tweak the numbers. :P

Also, how about making Arena Mode known for giving a bunch of mats that is all worth 7k in total? It could give some crowns, but it could mostly be known for giving alot of mats (7k worth). Would that work?

This would definitely need a Tier 1, 2, and 3 variant with different prices and payouts.
However, I do NOT like the requirement of having to go solo. This game is co-operative, and altStorm Citadel already poos on that rule.

Just feels too much like Arena's already, plus not being able to quit is a terrible rule. Crown payout is also a little too high.

As in, I meant if you really wanted an alt in T3, you'd have to give him 4*/5* gear. Like in PvP.

Slightly different idea

What if this is moved to the Coliseum and given KC rewards instead?

I agree with the KC idea. if

I agree with the KC idea. if the devs are going to use this idea at all, they will use it as a crown sink, and this is the best way I can think of to make that work

MOAR LUT!

I don't like the idea of spending energy for the tickets. maybe about 1k a ticket and different maps with on the end of each map there is a boss that when he dies you could get the boss as a BATTLE SPRITES. And maybe a few enemies that are in that map only?

Map ideas

Destroyed city
Enemies
Zombies
Bombies
Deadnauts
Howlitzer
Medies(heals)
Boss
The Bone Wraith
A Zombie with a
black skull. A Pink
Orb in its chest
that can summon
zombies and crush
you with his hands
and feet

Other maps coming in the future.
