Before you comment, note that this is not a duplicate and is distinct from the other Ground Kars killstreaks posts.
I think that in Ground Wars what I, and I’m assuming several others like doing is trying to get a high killstreak. Unfortunately outside of scrolling through chat you are unable to see what your killstreak is, and there is no way whatsoever to see what your highest ever killstreak is. (also I say killstreak a lot here so Ima just shorten it to KS)
I also think that Ground Wars needs an update really badly, considering its the least popular game on the server right now, and I think with good reason too.
Killstreak Statistics
This one should be fairly easy to explain. I think you should be able to see your KS’s:
-
In the hud - I think that next to your Total Kills and Deaths in the Top Right you should be able to see your current KS, if anyone wants to give ideas for an icon that’d be great.
-
At the end of a game - I think that instead of having a place for whoever placed the most blocks it should be who got the highest KS.
-
In the lobbies and API - I think it should show your highest ever KS in the lobby stats and the API.
Chat Messages + Unlockables?
I think that in chat every multiple of say, 5, kills someone gets in a KS it will have a chat message.
e.g. AculAce has reached a Killstreak of 5.
They could have different messages for higher numbers aswell
e.g. AculAce is on fire with a Killstreak of 20!
Since ground wars is greatly lacking game cosmetics at the moment, the killstreak messages could be cosmetics. (idk what levels or order these are just ideas)
Examples:
On Fire
On a Rampage
Obliterating [team colour]
XP Multiplier
So this is a suggestion I really like that suggests an xp multiplier on each kill, increasing with the KS, you can vote for it here
Power Ups
Some ideas for power ups you get with a KS are:
Refill - refills eggs and blocks to 16 and 64. this can be received on 5’s, e.g. KS of 5, 15, 25 etc.
Armor - KS’s received on 10’s, at 10 upgrades to iron, but if you already have it you get diamond, at 20 gives diamond no matter what
Egg Strike - Will kill the entire enemy team at once (the ground gained per kill may be maxed at 2 or 3 idk) I’m not sure on the level so vote on occinh’s poll I’m the comments
Feel Free to suggest other killstreak bonuses
I think that this would be enough to get more people playing Ground Wars because its only been out for a month and a bit and it’s real dead. This took me almost an hour to type so support is appreciated immensely.
we need this back for Ground Wars posts
Thanks for reading this very looooooooong post and uh yeah. thats all. bye.
Any and all feedback provided is appreciated
