This is an idea me and a friend had for a non-battle type of PvP. It's capture the flag with a magical twist!
The Game: Groups of Wizards must square off to find the banner and return it to their base! Each match will take place in a field matching a specific world, each with its own environmental hazards. Being attacked by one will cause you to be sent back to your safety circle. Any power-ups you are carrying will disappear, and all items acquired in the match will return to their places. If an enemy wizard runs into you, you will drop any items you are carrying, and will be unable to pick them up for 5 seconds. The Lobby: stadium opposite the Arena, circular, three pedestals. Types of matches: Free-for-all: Each team consists of one wizard, first to find and return flag to their circle wins. Team-up: Teams of up to four people squaring off, team that finds and returns flag to teams circle wins. 2-point bonus to member that retrieves flag, so trolls don't just sit in the safe zone and watch their friends win for them. Vault match: Can be 1v1 or team play, requires teams to work together to find the pieces of the key to deactivate the force field surrounding the flag. Same point bonus for finder from Team-up applies, but there is also a 1 point bonus for anyone who finds a piece of the key. (Group mode only)
The Powerups: Magic Delay: Cool-down time: .05 seconds. Description: Animation varies depending on school. 5 second inability to move on target. Drops all key pieces or banners that the target is carrying. Target has 10 second immunity to being Delayed after recovering.
Speed-up: Cool-down time: 15 seconds. Description: Upon collecting a red star, a wizard will move twice as fast. Will pause if hit by a Magic Delay. Discharge: Cool-down time: 30 seconds. Description: Upon collecting a green star, a blue radius similar to the area of effect for gardening spells appears with the Wizard in the center. Upon triggering a Magic Delay, the attack will affect everyone, friend or foe, within the radius. Slows user down by 25% for 15 seconds following use.
Please consider this idea, it could be a whole new type of PvP! Also, gear for it would be nice too! :-D
