I guess this would be called "Capture the Flag"?

#

Anyhow, this is a good suggestion, but currently, there isn't the necessary code (nor time right now) to do something like this. Many suggestions have been brought forward asking for "10 v 10s" and "16 v 16s". JoJa and the development team have been working on many projects, some of which have been delayed indefinitely.

#

This gamemode is a bit to similar to an already existing gamemode.

#

Capture the Flag sounds similar to "Capture Points"

#

Okay

rain stratus
#

Capture the flag? Gud idea, but idk if the team play would work out

vocal condor
#

Good suggestion, but there's still another problem

I don't see much difference between package drop and your version of capture the flag. Also 10v10 will be an issue, not sure if 2x 8v8 will solve that. If you have to capture the flag from the enemy base, how is spawn-protection going to work?

rain stratus
#

Fair point

#

No spawn protect so farming would happen

keen tree
#

Basically

#

Capture the flag

#

In what

rain stratus
#

An a longer gamemode

teal gust
keen tree
#

What game was it

vocal condor
#

"We have to bring flag from enemies base where enemy can hide their flag any where in their base or the flag could also have some fixed place"

#

That's concerning

#

Yh nvm I ain't behind this

#

Too similar too exploitable, sorry lad

#

Big ask too

oak mirage
#

The idea is not bad. But the details should be worked out better.

keen tree
#

I think something exactly like this exists in call of duty

oak mirage
#

Yeah, but what would be the reason to increase the amount of players, or else increase the amount of time?

"Move the tank" also has 2 matches and unfortunately encourage farming during 1 match of 2x10mins. If I imagine the same amount of time, where spawn protection is removed, I dont think people will actually play the game as how it meant to be.

keen tree
#

This could be used to replace the current capture the flag

#

Or added in as a seperate mode

keen tree
vocal condor
#

The problem with Capture the Flag is that there are too many locations where people can set up flags, and based on your suggestion, what I've read is that people can hide the flags. Big problem because people can exploit this and hide their flags in the most difficult-to-reach places.

Now, with fixed positions, this gamemode is already beginning to sound way too similar to the already existing gamemode "Capture Points".

Since I've now just thought of it, there will also be a team-balancing issue. A bunch of experienced, professional gamers could be on one side while a group of average players or noobs could just lose at the hands of the team-balancing system. Idk if the team-balancing system issue is still a problem but if it is, then this gamemode would be very much affected, like almost all gamemodes.

keen tree
#

Not 10

oak mirage
#

Ah sorry, 2x8mins

#

Doesn't matter 🥲

teal gust
keen tree
#

This could be 10 minutes

#

I don't see why it would be 20 minutes long

#

Even br is like 15 minutes

vocal condor
#

It should just be like 16 mins in total

#

8 minutes for each team

keen tree
#

Instead, add both capturing the opponents flag and defending your flag at the same time

#

Why make it in two

vocal condor
#

Sparrow's suggestion is very good

keen tree
#

I think in COD it's like this

oak mirage
#

And how about spawn protection? How you gonna steal the flag from the enemy base if they all have spawn protection?

keen tree
#

Well

vocal condor
#

I mean, you could just have a 10 minute match and both teams could be trying to get each other's flag while defending their own

keen tree
#

Since they have to do both, defend and attack maybe not 100% of the strength will be defending in the spawn

keen tree

#

After all, the final solution is "package drop" but then a flag instead of a package

keen tree
#

2 packages

vocal condor
keen tree
#

Instead of 1

#

That's the differentiator

#

I was actually about to post this suggestion

#

But then I forgor

teal gust
keen tree
#

Must be clear with your suggestion before posting it

vocal condor
#

Okay, just read the new edits

#

7.5 minutes doesn't make sense

#

It should be just 8 minutes

#

For each team

keen tree
#

I still don't know why you are dividing it

teal gust
keen tree
#

Hiding the bag?

oak mirage
# teal gust note already given 😦

I understand your note. But this makes the suggestion kinda failing. No offense, it's meant as constructive feedback. But when suggesting something, I recommend to think about as many details as possible. Pro's and cons, and possible solutions.

teal gust
vocal condor
#

Well

#

That ruins the balance of the game

#

It should be a whole number

keen tree
#

Why even divide it in the first place

#

If you divide it then DaVince is correct

#

Nothing different between this and package drop

teal gust
vocal condor
#

Take a look at all of the other gamemodes. If you look at them, you'll notice that all of them are either 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or 16 minutes (8 mins for each team).

oak mirage
#

What do you mean by hiding it?

vocal condor
#

Just hide it

#

Make sure no one gets it

keen tree
vocal condor
#

Hiding that bag is quite unfair

keen tree
#

How would you hide it

#

Where can you hide it

#

Hiding would make it unfair yes

oak mirage
#

Not sure what is meant with hiding it? Like hiding it in a building? (You can basically do that with package drop as well). Hiding it in some sort of inventory?

keen tree
#

Eating it

vocal condor
# keen tree Where can you hide it

So, based on what I've read, she asked if they could host this gamemode in larger maps like Pacific. And you could just hide in a building or somewhere people wouldn't usually check.

keen tree
#

Throw it in the ocean

#

Good luck finding it

teal gust
keen tree
#

So you can pick up the flag too

teal gust
keen tree
#

A person could just take it and run away

#

Or throw it in the ocean as I said

#

Impossible to get the flag

oak mirage
#

Like I said, I dont think the idea is bad. But the suggestion is just to vague and lack details. I look forward to an updated version of this with more details and solutions about the mentioned issues.

keen tree
#

?

#

Why would he add extra ideas in it

vocal condor
#

Very confusing

#

DaVince is already a trusted member of the community

#

He's like Plague, meaning that he's a very constructive person who provides good feedback

white knoll
#

Add a capture the flag gamemode

vocal condor
#

And Toppy has just stepped in to this conversation

keen tree
#

He just changed the title wdym

vocal condor
#

I feel that he'll probably say something similar to what DaVince said

#

Anyhow

#

Plague will probably enter this discussion soon

#

Just wait for him

keen tree
#

No need to say something when something has already been said

white knoll
#

Yeah basically what DV said

vocal condor
#

And would you look at that

#

Toppy's here

white knoll
#

@teal gust if you want any sort of feedback or understanding from the dev team you must be more coherent. I cant really understand what you’re trying to communicate here.

vocal condor
#

Agreed

#

It's just been a mess of edits and what-not

white knoll
#

Look at the pinned thread post that offset made and that should be able to help

#

Alpha I don’t need you repeating what I said. Thanks.

teal gust
white knoll
#

That’s what you’re describing, a capture the flat type game mode

#

I can put it in quotes but “new mode” is unacceptable as a title. It doesn’t tell us anything

teal gust
white knoll
#

You need more details and a better thought out suggestion.

white knoll
#

For the sake of simplicity, I’m going to leave it as that.

vocal condor
# white knoll Alpha I don’t need you repeating what I said. Thanks.

Bruh, I just literally entered this conversation confused and Radha has just making edits all over the place. How am I supposed to actually think how well this would go for people? I've been talking about spawn protection, flag or bag locations, and the amount of time. From what I recall, I've already seen at least 3 edits and all of them are making me drown in confusion.

white knoll
#

All I’m asking is when I’m talking to somebody you don’t paraphrase what im saying. Let me do my job.

vocal condor
#

Anyhow, I need something to keep me awake

#

There's more things I need to do

white knoll
#

I appreciate you wanting to help, im just redirecting that sentiment. What I’m saying has nothing to do with what you were talking about in regards to the suggestion.

#

Now we move on, back to radhas suggestion.

teal gust
#

my suggestion was a new mode where we have to bring suitcase /flag/bag from enemy's base to our base and gain points @white knoll @oak mirage

white knoll
#

I know that. You’ve said that multiple times.

oak mirage
#

@teal gust If I may give you a tip. When having a good idea for a suggestion, find some people to talk about your ideas first. You can do that in this server (#wb-chat for example), or on other wb related servers with your friends. Try to filter out pro's and cons. Have a discussion and brainstorm first and write down the spoken details. When you feel sure about your suggestion being complete, then post it here. You will definitely get more people behind your suggestion when you have thought about as much details as possible. Don't worry about making it too long, if it's good, then I don't mind to read a long suggestion.

vocal condor
# teal gust my suggestion was a new mode where we have to bring suitcase /flag/bag from enem...

Okay, not gonna be a mod or whatever, but that's quite vague. I mean, I've sat here for already 15 minutes and I don't know how this will be entirely implemented. We've already asked you about the amount of time, spawn protection, and, uh, flag positions. If you can, just explain what you're asking for in a direct manner, meaning you just gotta say this is "Capture the Flag". That's it. We know what "Capture the Flag" is.

#

I'm not trying to be mean; I'm just asking serious questions, if you don't mind

#

There's a lot of potential for this gamemode, like everyone said, but the idea put-forth is kinda confusing

teal gust

vocal condor
#

The area in a map where you can host "Package Drop" is always no-man's land

keen tree
#

No

#

Escape

#

Spawns literally in front of the spawn

vocal condor
#

Every map is no-man's land coronalol

#

If it's within the radius of you being able to be killed, you know you'll suffer

#

Now, back to the topic

keen tree
#

Can I post another suggestion that is a bit different from this

vocal condor
#

"Duplicate tag"

teal gust
vocal condor
#

Not gonna lie that tag exists and shows us how much we think alike

keen tree
#

Or I could just post it here

keen tree
vocal condor
#

I mean, let's think about it

#

You post a suggestion

#

I have the same idea

#

But I also post it

#

My post gets the "Duplicate" tag

#

We both think alike

#

We just had the same idea

keen tree
#

Great men think alike

#

Anyways, I'll just post my suggestion to this suggestion here

#

Capture the flag gamemode rework

Two teams, 10 minute game. Two flags spawn on each side of the map. One spawning near your team, one spawning away from team. The flag will be Red Flag for the Red team and Blue flag for the blue team. Anyone can pick the flag just by pressing F. The flags will be on base (idk what a base of a flag pole is called). Your team simply has to capture the enemy teams flag and bring it to your team's base while simultaneously defending the flag of your team. Flags reset when a team has captured and raised the flag on their side. Could be hosted in maps where Capture the flag gamemode is available.
