The 30 Best Ways to Improve Melee: BattleGrounds

[Corsair831]

Wait, this is actually a worthwhile point to look at!

Currently one of the biggest drawbacks to battle is the idle sitting around when you are dead until the round ends. What would be fun is to have something (optional) to do for the dead people, which does not interrupt gameplay for the people that are still alive. What comes to mind:

- Betting: the option to bet some (limited amount of) gold on whoever team you think will win; odds (# of players alive per team / average score etc.) affects the gold gain for the bets. Could even think of special bets with higher stakes on individual player's performance. Would also help keeping dead players interested in the current ongoing battle.

- Dueling: chance to duel other dead players while the round lasts. Duels will end as soon as a new battle round starts. Would achieve the opposite as above and take dead players' attention away from the current ongoing round.

Just some ideas for now... 


@ OP: hilarious, thanks for the laugh 

the idea of betting whilst dead actually sounds great, one player types something like

"!bet 10,000 blue" (to bet 10,000 on the blue team), and it has to be called by another player who says something like

"!bet call "playername"", which means that he calls the other player's bet,

but it only works if he actually has the money to pay him, and the second he types call it takes the money off of both players, then only pays up when the round ends, (to prevent abuse)

sounds like a really fun idea IMO

id actually prefer the duelling after death thing

Great stuff, Corsair!

But you need to add religion. ADD RELIGION!! Every character has to choose a religion which then has certain impacts on his specific gameplay-experience:

Hinduism: If you perform too bad (kill too many or to few) you're being reborn as an animal (ie goat). Then you either have to hunt / kill / tear apart other animals to become a human hindi again or you climb down the hierachy further and further. Man --> Goat --> Horse --> T-Rex --> dolphin --> frog etc.
Nordic mythology: Lightning air strike if you killed enough people with a hammer
Jews (well that's easy): You have to loot equipment and sell it before the end of the round for bonus XP & gold
Fundamentalists : *Boooom* and you get a virgin for every guy you blast away in your own team. --> Build several families in the claimed houses
Catholics: You have to pray a lot. No impact
Buddism: You loose, if you kill

...

add goats , yes but fuckable goats so when you die you can play with them in a restricted area but in private cabins (obtainable on marketplace) so anyone can't see which type goat you are humping.
don't make this a minigame , just a separate area in EU_1 , like an happy island where all the deads can enjoy the rest of the round.

oh i forgot to say , if you have a masterwork goat it gives you 75% morale for the next round , +2 gives 50% , +1 25% , no goat gives you depression debuff.

I had my doubts about this game when they started the crowdfunding but from what I see on YouTube it's shaping up to be a good successor to cRPG, or at least I hope so.

Kind of regret not contributing/buying it earlier. At least I would have gotten a loompoint fuckingg dammniiitttttttttttttfuck

[Nightmare798]

scene in game of thrones where light armour guy kites shielder for 5 minutes then kicks him over should be your inspiration

That guy was a my old friendging noob and didnt really made justice to sword and shield combination in any kind of form.

WHERE DOES IT END, WHERE DOES THE MADNESS END

srsly though, crafting, melee battlegrounds 2k15, gogo, implement.
my revised expectations for this game are that it's a cross between warband, crpg, skyrim, guitar hero, grand theft auto and minecraft.

I'm expecting a perfect conglomeration of all of those games into one flawless product. ( )

Implement a tertiary weaponmode for pole that enables you to ride it.

400 bump damage, raising the team's morale, making the enemy team laugh which results in a massive Armor-Reduction (like 1000).

When in tertiary mode, you can also taunt enemy players:

which makes the first to be taunted go killing spree (that will remove all banners - so u can't tell who's friendly and who's not.



Also: Add flying skulls for specs already.

We need moar!

And master physic-engine wher you can poke out the left eye from your enemy or stick your spear in his ear. or cut out the navel from the belly.
