Trials of The Hive:
Everyone really wants a new competitive PvP gamemode, but if the Hive makes a basic duels mode I don’t think people will like it as much. The Hive needs something unique, that’s why I’ve come up with the idea for a new gamemode I called Trials of The Hive (based off of Destiny 2’s Trials of Osiris)
Rules:
It’s a 3v3 gamemode that relies on skill, coordination and strategy to win.
Each teammate will have 3 lives, as well as a balanced arsenal consisting of full diamond armor, a diamond sword, a bow with 8 arrows, 64 concrete blocks and 5 golden apples. You have to use your arrows and golden apples wisely, if you use all of them in one round they’ll be gone for good.
The first team to extinguish the other team’s lives first will win the round. The first team to reach 3 wins will be declared the winner.
There should also be a level requirement before people enter, so that way cheaters and less experienced players aren’t allowed into this gamemode. I suggest level 25 for TW, 15 for SW and 10 for SG.
The goal of Trials in Destiny 2 is to get a win streak of 7 in order to go to the lighthouse. This number can change depending on what you guys think is appropriate but for now I’ll stick with 7 for my examples. This should be the goal for players to reach in order to obtain very special rewards
Map Layout (My suggestion):
There should be two islands where the players spawn in that funnel into the giant mid island/arena. There should be different platforms, environmental hazards such as pits, and forms of cover.
Rewards:
In order to keep players interested in this gamemode, it should give rewards to those who’re worthy enough to overcome its challenges. These rewards can be:
3 Wins - 1 hour XP booster and/or a free costume
5 Wins - 24 hour XP booster and/or a free costume and 1 free hub title
7 Wins - A trip to a special hub space (kinda similar to Destiny 2’s lighthouse system) where you can reap rewards
The 7 wins rewards should guarantee 1 costume, 1 XP booster and one new rank called flawless rank, which will make a player’s name glow and flash a golden yellow in the hub and other minigame hub spaces. But this rank won’t last forever, and if you don’t go flawless the week afterwards the rank will go away. It’ll keep players interested in the gamemode and will ensure they keep coming back every week.
Conclusion:
It doesn’t have to be exactly like this, or even like this in the slightest, but a new PvP gamemode that’s new and interesting would be so amazing. This server has amazing potential and I’d love to see it actually used to create something special. This probably won’t get seen but if it does I hope you guys consider my suggestion.
