Idea for the dueling arena
« on: December 19, 2005, 09:17:02 AM »
Not sure if someone has thought of this before, but here goes.

Create a special mission page for the DA. This mission page would have the following options for a duel (grudge) match. The mission would only allow 2 pilots to enter the mission.

The Wager: A window would be added to the mission page to allow the players to enter the amount of perks they wish to wager on the fight. A drop down menu would allow the player to select what type of perks they wish to wager. Fighter, Bomber, Vehicle.

Duration of mission: A drop down menu with the following options to set the parameters of the fight. Single flight, best 2/3, best 3/5, best 5/8.

Aircraft: This would pretty much be the same as it is now, with the mission creator being able to select what aircraft will be allowed to fly. An ALL Aircraft check box would be added so that selecting it would allow all aircraft.

An auto .ef (end flight) system would need to be put into place so that when one pilot is killed and it is recorded the game would automatically tower the other pilot. This is to ensure that a pilot does not start the fight with an E advantage by already being airborne.

If a pilot in a mission is shot down by a player not in the mission the kill does not count against the pilot. Both pilots in the mission tower and start over.

A system like this would allow a player to challenge another and set the conditions of the fight. Perks to win/loose, type of aircraft, and duration of fight. The person being challenged will be able to look over the mission/challenge set up and either accept the challenge or decline it. Once the fight is over the perks from the looser would be transferred to the winners account.

I figure this will give people an opportunity to put up or shut up, when they start complaining on 200 about how they got cherry picked or HO'ed by a dweeb, when in reality they just got out flown, and beat

Sounds interesting but I can see some areas that could be exploited. This could just end up being a perk transfer system between players. A squad for example could have 1 or 2 guys that whip arse in 262s, several other members "wager" all of their perks with those 2 262 jocks, the other guys lose on purpose to give those 2 guys 150 million perks or whatever. Now those two guys can fly 262s for the rest of their natural lives skewing rankings and just generally un-balancing the arena. Multiply this times 50 squads and then add the people ebaying their perks and using the DA wager system to transfer them for $$$$ and you have CHAOS. ;)

I can be overly verbose at times, sorry.

add 'duel mode' ala airwarrior (meaning those locked in duel mode are in their own little paralell universe, and immune to outside interference) and I like it
