You see, Lockdown is actually pretty fun and all, but the fact that it's unbalanced, and by that I mean in gear specificaly, since if you don't have a Skolver suit and a toothpick and a polaris, you're pretty much dead meat if everyone else has that equiped too on the other team, SPECIALLY if they all use 2 Penta-heart pendants and all of his weapons have excellent ASI UV's. You and your team pretty much don't stand a chance if that happens, unless the other team is full of money burning idiots.

So what I'm suggesting is that there's a lockdown mode where this should be like:

- NO Trinkets
- NO UVs
- Cobalt Knight ONLY
- FINAL DESTINATION

Since everyone gets to use the same gear (like blast network), everyone can join the game, disregarding in which tier they are at. It will be a PvP strictly based on skill, and not gear, so it will be at least 99x more fun to all players, specially for who can't afford stuff that a "pro" can to be victorious.

I'm sure many of you will like this idea (except the elitists fools that will eventualy get butthurt and blatantly defend their p2w lockdown with their very own lives and sticks...), so I'm hoping the developers can put something like this on a future update, so we can all enjoy a game of lockdown without having to worry about having a toothpick shoved on our buttocks everytime we try to get out of the base...

Cheers.

Simplicity

I support going against the generic Lockdown users who burn money to win, but this is not the right way to go about it; it takes the equality of Blast Network where personal equipment does not matter but keeps it in Lockdown.

This could be a whole new minigame completely separate from Lockdown; it can still have the direct combat, but take out the classes and give them something else to do other than play king of the hill.

See here for something someone has made in the past.

The cobalt stuff is just too plain and boring, neglecting various options and playstyles of the game, mainly for bombers.

I forget where and what that thread was, but I prefer the idea of having Preset-by-game Loadouts you can pick and choose from, regardless of what gear you HAVE, then battling it out.

I see Luguiru has posted a link to my Storm the Fortress thread. Too bad it's dead. D:

Anyway, the way I see it, your idea is to have an LD mode where you can only use Cobalt set, Blaster, Calibur, and Blast Bomb (that would be the correct definition of a Cobalt Knight, excluding Defender), or something along those lines. It seems like an OK idea, although I'm not to sure if it'd work very well for LD. :/ Maybe some other PVP/minigame thing. 'Cobalt Squires' sounds like a good name. But isn't that a Guild?

Okay, I'll stop talking to myself now.

Regarding what Psycho said, I had/have a similar idea, but sort of different. When you enter a game, a wheel (like the prize wheel) appears, and spins. Instead of prizes, it's filled with loadout. The loadout it stops at is the gear you have to use at the match. Would add lots of variety to the game, and more balance. This way, you wouldn't be able to choose your own elitist gear that pretty much obliterates the opposition.

@Lordofnecromancers

Yeah, I agree with that. Having random loadouts for all players, even if they don't have that sort of gear. That would be pretty cool.

Loadout Wheel

i like the idea of getting a randome loadout for the match. players would need to be flexible and can show that they are able to use more than only 'one perfect' loading.

but after all it shall be a new Lockdown kind beside the existing Lockdown. So people can decide if they choose a challange on he same level or if they jump in with their favorite stuff.

the idea with cobalt stuff is one easy option for the current lockdown (so all people will get the same epquipment for the match -> have the same chance, stuff wise), but it could become boring if this would be the only lock down way.

the idea with pendant prohibation is solved, when all chars will get the same stuff. so either they all have no pendants or they all have.

short: i recommend 2 new Lock Down kinds: Cobalt and Randome Loadout Wheel with stuff you may not have.
