What do you want in an ideal CTF mode?

title, jerloch was supposed to post this like a week ago, but never did, so now i am.

we're planning on creating a CTF mode for Beta and want to know, what does everyone want?

do you want the newer factories? or old style workshops? how about team bridges? funner water?
what's your thoughts on sky bridges? what about only allowing wooden skybridges?(one fire arrow to ruin them all)
how about tickets? do you want a way to increase tickets?
how important should gold be?
extra classes? what if you could purchase an adv class for one life?(respawning would change you back to builder or smth)
should siege engines be game enders?


pls to respond with list of tweaks you think should be in, ill delete any off topic posts without warning so please stay on topic.

 

Spoiler: Stuff about team bridges and sky bridges

<rayne^> also, we have team bridges already :D
<rayne^> they're different tho, you cant shoot arrows downwards through them
<killatron> yey
<rayne^> you can shoot upwards through them tho
<killatron> but can't rotate?
<killatron> or can
<rayne^> cant
<killatron> good
<killatron> they solid blocks?
<killatron> like B190
<LucasTT> classic kag ftw
<rayne^> you can jump up through them, but cant go down
<LucasTT> up-only killatron
<rayne^> -> we can allow sky bridges but tehy're weak
<rayne^> i'm planning on allowing wood sky bridges, aned making stone skybridges really hard to accomplish

<LucasTT> niice
<rayne^> i really like sky bridges personally
<rayne^> but i hated that they were so overpowered
<LucasTT> less factories would be nice rayne
<rayne^> if i only allow wooden skybridges, fire arrows will destroy them.
<LucasTT> thats a good way to counter it
<rayne^> it makes sky maps viable + OH SHIT moments when your teammates build a bad bridge and it goes down
<WarrFork> even if they was overpowered, it was fun :(
<rayne^> WarrFork: i agree
<rayne^> its fun if you have the badass bridge
<rayne^> not if you dont
<LucasTT> ^
<rayne^> it'd befun to light a skybridge on fire
<rayne^> i think
<LucasTT> yeah
<WarrFork> even if you dont have it, its a goal for everyone to put it down with a single bomb and they enjoy it

 

honestly i'd prefer to have as little team only ways up as possible, it only makes buildings OP and unattackable.

 

I think, that rather than siege engines being a game ender, or nerfing them, they should simply be made more fragile.

Considering that catapults used gears to wind back, and ballista use bowstocks, a knight could (losing his sword) disable an (enemy only) catapult by jamming its gears, and disable a ballista by cutting through its drawstrings. That way, the Knight has some utility and defense against siege engines, if they can get close enough.

 

i was already planning on seperate spawns/ flags, but i was thinking about just making it so you'd have to bring the enemyflag to your flag stand, so you couldn't entomb yours. the no building thing only really limit map design if you think about it.

 

Tutorial on how to get an ideal CTF mode:
- Take KAG Beta
- Remove every new features besides fire
- Put everything from Classic
- Boom.

 

so you're telling me you wouldn't like a better drowning system, so that water maps are actually viable?
you dont want ballistas that can actually shoot worth a shit?

all those years of complaining about lack of features in CTF, and now that we have the chance to implement them, you just want classic ctf? doesn't make sense to me.

i should've said this from the start, but i'm not recreating classic ctf at this moment.

i rather like most of the new features, i just feel they're presented in a less than favourable way.
