Guild Wars 2

Sort of something I Was thinking about last night while screwing around in the different pvp lobbies, I have suggested in the past other map ideas but I think this one has a ton of potential and could be a lot of fun if anet wanted to do it.

Game Mode:
Infection

Objective:
Contaminate other players for the Elder Dragon ___________

There will be a map variance for each Elder Dragon. I wont touch up much on the map designs ill just give a rough idea for each dragon.

Zhaitan = Arah style map
Jormag = Norn / Shiverpeak style map
Kralkatorrik = Ruins of Ascalon

How it works
A team will randomly be selected to be the dragons champion, the champion will be decided based on the map (see above listing).

The team who is it, will have the appearance of the dragons minion:
Zhaitan = Risen
Jormag = Ice Brute
Kralkatorrik = Branded

each of those pretty much have a version of another race established. Risen char, human, norn ; Same with branded & Ice Brutes.

If you are It or become effected, you will take on the aspect of that dragons servant. Example:
Norn Player becomes infected by a Zhaitan Champion, that norn player is now a Risen Norn Player.

Your classes skills stay the same, the only thing that changes is your appearance for the match.

The only way you become infected is if you die to an infected player.

The time limit for this game is 10 minutes *
*Last Person left not infected wins

Match Glory Bonus Points:
-Killing an infected player – 10 Glory
-Killing a non infected player – 25 Glory
-Killing the last non infected player alive – 50 Glory
-Surviving the match with out being infected- 100 Glory + Achievement pts “Survivor”

Achievement Titles:
Harbinger:
Infect another player by killing them in a pvp game of Infection.
Tier 1: 10 Kills, Tier 2: 50 Kills, Tier 3: 100 Kills, Tier 4: 200 Kills, Tier 5: 400 Kills, Tier 6: 1000 kills. After Tier 6 the title "Harbinger " becomes available to wear.

Ultimate Survivor:
Survive a pvp game of infection and be the last one standing
Tier 1: 1 Game Survived, Tier 2: 4 Games Survived, Tier 3: 10 Games Survived, Tier 4: 20 Games Survived, Tier 5: 50 Games Survived, Tier 6: 100 Games Survived. After Tier 6 the title " Ultimate Survivor " becomes available to wear.

So it’s a last man standing game of …Tag?

I guess if you want to rip it down to absolute basic concepts then yes, only real difference is that there is killing. I really hate using other games as examples but if you watch or play Halo or COD they have some variation of this play style.

It is sort of fun and addictive.

Even with “killing”, it is still essentially a variant of tag.

Not that I mind, sounds fun enough.

And sPvP really needs more game modes. Personally, I’d prefer deathmatch, though. But that’s just because some of the most fun I’ve had with online gaming was dueling in D2.

I purposed death match and a ton of other map variations and what not i think it was 2-3 weeks ago but it was just ignored >.< I really want see more game types added to pvp then the same old grab all 3 points and idle concept.

Using other games as an example is fine, Just because another game has something doesn’t mean this game cant. Hate that “want to be unique” stuff.

Yeah I think a lot of Mini games like this would add some nice entertainment when waiting around or just for fun. Games within a game.

I can see the thieves being a pain though, due to stealth.

Every class has its pros and cons for this style of game play, with the exception of engineers they are just doomed to die first Remember once you die you are now part of the other team which means that thief has to be mobile and on his toes or he will be killed by a former team mate!!

See also Perfect Dark Zero. This mode is a lot of fun. Basically 1 person starts off as a zombie and everyone else is alive. As each of the living players is killed off they respawn as a zombie and switch sides.

The difference is that in Perfect Dark the winner is determined based on a time limit and not last man standing. Basically if after 10 minutes there are people still alive the ‘survivors’ win. If everyone dies in 10 minutes the infected win. I like the time limit since it ends stalemates.

This goes with a time limit too, i just wanted to emphasize a one winner scenario when time goes out
