FactionWars - PvX Map Idea (festival?)

[Avatar.3568]

I thought about this many times, a way how to combine PvE and PvP/WvW in Guildwars 2 and finaly i think i got a idea how to make both sides happy playing this mode, without pve players getting hard cheesed by pvp'ers and pve players can't manipulate the game mod for pure grinding and disableing the pvp part.

 

I even thought out something like a lore (tho i made it pretty simple). Tyria is celebrating the defeat against the dragons and is announcing the FactionWars/Battles a Tournament to compete in friendship and fairness  between the 5 (maybe more :3) factions on a Medium/large sized map with 10 small towers, 2 Castles and a bunch of npc events. You can enter the Battle in 2 Modes (via Portal).
 

Knights and Workers

 

The First mode is the Knight mode, entering in this mode you will be always attackable from the enemy Faction, but you will gain X Silver/Gold every Tick the loot comes. A Knight can attack other Knights in every territory but they can't attack Workers (the second mode) in the enemy territory, as a knight you are able to attack and capture enemy towers.

You will able to do events and Looting too.

 

The Second mode is the Worker mode, when you enter as a Worker you will be not attackable for enemy knights, when there are in there own territory, there job is to loot the map arround the towers, do events and support their knights in defending the Tower. Worker can always attack enemy workers, but Workers loose stats 20-90% (to make it not abusable) when they are not in there own territory.

Every Loot and Event does fill a Moral bonus, a way to make a big Attack with NPC's from each faction, it will also increase the NPC guards accross the terrtory to have a more Secured area.

WORKERS GAIN +15% more golddropps and ep from loots and events

 

what does bring this?
People can't choose a worker and grieve other workers, so a pvp player will not slam pve players all the time. PvP players also can play against each other, while having other stats/cd/coeffiencts than in wvw or pvp. Moving things further this could be a hell lot of fun, an interactive map, where always is happening something with a lot of action and playerfriendly expierience.

 

The Map

 

As Mentioned the Map should be Medium/large sized, enaugh space to place 5 Permanent Towers for each faction, 5 Conqerable towers and 2 Castles in the mid, that are combined with a Bridge that is destructable. It should also feature a handfull of caves, forests and at least 1 lake with some 1-4 rivers, and some ruins. Camps will not be needed since Workers are gining the Moral, this will also increase the ressources that are saved in the towers. The Faction towers and the field arround it (which is not passable for other factions) should themed as the internal factions, like charr will have blood leagion, iron legion, shadow legion and firelegion with there own Events. While Human will have there gods and Norn their spirits, etc... (i have no clue about asuras and sylvaris xd).

 

the Tower fights itself would work like in WvW, 1 thing will change is, you will get the mats to build trebs and ramms by doing events and farm mats (iron, mithril) as a worker/knight and by doing kills as knight. Towers will gain map points after every day1 faction with the most points wins and every player that played for that faction most (in %) will get bonus X Mapcoin.

The Factions will interact server widly, so all on EU are playing against each other and all on NA.

 

Mapcoin

 

the Mapcoin/money gives you the ability to buy exotic/Ascended gear with every stats to choose, you will get with every Tick x mapcoins and for beeing in the winner team you will get at the end of the day X mapcoins.

You're just describing an overcomplicated and convoluted version of WvW.

Indubitably.  Hard no from me.
