Gamemode: Hierarchy / Advance Duel / Mini-Ladder Game
Suggestion type:
FGunZ
Suggestion description:
A duel gamemode in which players automatically get an worthy opponent after winning or losing.
Idea: to create a public dueling environment with more action(fights happening) and to connect players of equal skill caliber.
Theme: Players in the room are divided into brackets of 2 (1v1). Each bracket with their own map instance or map section(map sectioning would require a special map). Fight your way upwards to get hold of the top bracket.
Some functions:
If more than 2 players are in room when launching, players are divided into brackets randomly.
Defeating an opponent will move you up one bracket. Losing will move you down one bracket.
Top bracket winner stays in top bracket.
Loser of bottom bracket stays in bottom bracket if number of players is even.
Loser of bottom bracket goes to spectate mode if number of players is odd. (*or maybe waits alone in +bracket and is also prompted with spectator mode(press M) until opponent is chosen or comes into room)
Round time would function for each fight separately. ie. everyone has 3 minute fight time, regardless of when fighting starts in other brackets.
Loser of any round goes into spectator mode until his designated fighter is chosen in another bracket.(*exception for bottommost odd player)
Winner of any bracket is prompted to go into spectator mode(Press M) until his designated fighter is chosen in another bracket.
If someone leaves, the loser of the bracket below doesn't move brackets for the next round. As the one who left isn't "pushing" the loser downwards.
Switch from match to match should be as quick as possible. Maybe a 3 second warning of moving to another bracket, then 1-2sec invulnerability.
Floors of every bracket are cleared of items before every match.
Something along these lines to create a fun competitive matching system for all.
extra: Maybe the one holding top bracket could get a global message like duel wins.
"Name has held the top bracket for 10 consecutive rounds in room:001"
extra2: Option to stay in spectator mode. This restarts your bracket position. (this would be cool in regular duels even)
Thanks for reading.
