(Bad english Alert! All my posts will be translated by Google) Survival arena with scoreboard in complect. Its pretty simple idea that can bring many hours of addictive gameplay. Also, it will be cool if it will be special outfit & weapons for that arena(s) that will have no UVs (clean 5* cobalt set?)... Arena(s) can be part of Krogmo's Coliseum, as variant. So, we must just fight waves of monsters (maybe it will have special indicator for waves) & it will be harder from wave to wave. Every 10 waves it can be Boss Wave.

Maybe it will be great if every 10 waves it will be some kind of Prize, so ppl will hunt for it, & forget that they will "loose anyway" (but they will not, cause its Survival Mode ...)

Old tread was deleted, cause it was very... dirty.

Huh.

/makes a new thread on the same idea
/changes nothing.

Seems legit

No, you're not cool. No cooler than you claim me to think of myself anyway.

Shoo.

tnx for bump.

So?

There was no bump, baka.

So it's obvious you didn't learn anything at all. Honestly, why even bother posting a new thread? It's no more useful than the last.

Need more details.

What monsters do we fight? How long/big is each wave? What prizes? What is the arena like (size, hazards, etc)? Status monsters or normal monsters or both? Can we use our own gear (a "clean 5* cobalt set" as you put it would be essentially useless against any monster that isn't a Beast of Slime)? What are the boss waves like? How do the monsters spawn (appear in set spawn positions, from respawning panels, etc)? Is the difficulty affected by what tier you're in or what gear you have? Can T3 players play with T1 players? Are there simply infinite waves? Do the monsters drop anything useful (hearts, vials, vitapods, etc)? Are there short breaks between each wave or do they simply keep coming? Are the waves themed (undead + fiends, beast +slime, etc) or just randomly grouped monsters? How many Knights can be in the arena?

And so on and so forth.

"Arena(s) can be add to Krogmo Coliseum as variant"

I know you're using Google translate, so English must not be your first language, but what does that even mean? :P

"Old tread was deleted, cause it was very... dirty."

I saw that thread. If you think that was dirty, well... Compared to multiple other threads, that was completely shiny and clean, not 'dirty'. Be thankful.

...

it could never be a krogmo thing, what reason would monsters need "fame" for? the reason why psycho's is plausible is because it would be to weaken us. wolvers aren't smart enough, slimes will not care, undead will not care, constructs are generally mindless, and gremlins and devilites have something better to do. the only way they would be there is if krogmo forced them to be there.

getting rid of uv's is not evening the field, it's putting people who have used and gotten used to their weapons/gear at a disadvantage.

if none of this makes sense go to this guys previous thread in the graveyard.

Ok, Tuhui, can you comment

Ok, Tuhui, can you comment that screenshot? http://rghost.ru/41539874/image.png There is Devilites, Undeads, Gremlins and even Construct. And as we know, Gremlins are using Constructs for protection, also they can catch Wolvers in that metal cages and Slimes, like in Compound 42 mission, so why they can't challenge knights just for fun?

Details:

Q: What monsters do we fight?
A: All families of monsters

Q: What is the arena like (size, hazards, etc)?
A: Standart arena size (like in clockworks or Gauntlet mission), hazards, spikes and lost souls will appear on more difficult waves.

Q: Status monsters or normal monsters or both?
A: Normal monsters for first waves, and the number of status monsters will increase with the increase of difficulty

Q: What are the boss waves like?
A: For first waves, it can be Trojans or Giant Lichen Colonys, for more difficult ones, it can be something like Gremlin bombers wave or waves similar to Gauntlet mission.

Q: How do the monsters spawn (appear in set spawn positions, from respawning panels, etc)?
A: Like in standart arenas, it can be set spawn positions + respawning panels for Silkwings.

Q: Is the difficulty affected by what tier you're in or what gear you have? Can T3 players play with T1 players?
A: It will be sweet if it will be standart Arena gear for all, but it can be something like 3 sets with different protection designed for arena with multiple status protection, some of status bombs, and 3 types of weapons against different monsters that can be changed every 5 waves (special monitor will tell you which monsters families will be next 5 waves, so you can prepare yourself). So maybe it will be better to have only special T3 gear for all.

Q: Do the monsters drop anything useful (hearts, vials, vitapods, etc)?
A: They must drop hearts and vials, while vitapods will be given at start of every 5 waves (near place where you can change your gear). With hearts it will not be pure survival, but it will be more entertaining.

Q: Are there short breaks between each wave or do they simply keep coming?
A: I think it will be sweet, if there will be party button, that must be pushed to start each wave.

Q: How many Knights can be in the arena?
A: 1-4

...

they are part of the audience so what? the things in cages ARE IN CAGES. gremlins would not be hosting this event, krogmo would. the only aggressive enemies are gremlins, for everything else we just come in and disturb them in their homes or territories. things being in the audience has nothing to do with them participating in this event. the only reason they are there is to fill space in a fun way. IT CAN NOT BE HOSTED BY KROGMO.
