[Showcase] Alternative PvP Modes

[Mastagoon]

Hi everyone

Now I used to play PvP all the time in classic and early renewal. But unforutnately PvP in RO is extremely unbalanced not really that great, especially in Renewal.

So I came up with the idea to take a different approach to PvP, and today I'll share with you three PvP modes that I created.

Some of these modes require source modification, but alot of the mechanics can be achieved with scripts only, I hope you enjoy ; )

 

PvP Mode: Abracadabra

Spoiler

This pvp mode is more focused toward having a fun experience rather than competition.

Rules: 

• In this mode, players can only use the skills Abracadabra, Sight, and Hiding.
• Abracadabra does not consume yellow gemstones on cast inside the map.
• All players will have their hotkeys replaced with the skills mentioned above (Upon leaving the PvP map, your hotkeys will be restored).
• All players will have their gears unequipped, and they cannot re-equip them inside (Although your gear will be re-equipped when you leave the map).
• All external buffs, homunculi, wargs/falcons will be removed, and your stats will be reset to 1.
• All consumable items cannot be used.
• The damage of all skill cast through abracadabra is multiplied for up to 50 fold.

PvP Mode: Rapidfire

Spoiler

Inspired by League of Legends URF mode, this pvp mode allows players to spam all their skills and come up with creative builds that would work in normal PvP.

Rules:

Players in this mode will recieve the following effects:

• -100% Variable and fixed Cast Time.
• -90% Skill After cast delay.
• -85% Cooldown on all skills.
• Attack speed will be set to 193.
• Skills usage will not consume any SP (unless the skill itself uses SP, like Asura Strike)
• All consumable items cannot be used.
• Damage from all sources is reduced by 90%.
• Players recover 20% of their max HP every 10 seconds.
• Killing another player will restore 100% of your HP.

PvP Mode: Biohazard

Spoiler

Players in this mode will be transformed into one of the 13 Bio Lab monsters randomly, and their skills and stats will be changed according to the transformation.

Each one of the 13 playable characters has some strength and weaknesses, knowing and exploiting these weaknesses is the key to victory.

In this mode, there's only 4 possible types of debuffs (Stone curse, Freezing, Stun, Silence) and each Character has a certain resistance against these statuses.

For example, Players who turn into Lord Knight Seyren will have a very high movement speed , HP, and base ATK. but will be vulnerable to freeze and stone curse effects. But players who turn into High Priest Margreta will be immune to freeze and stone effects and have lower HP value.

 

Rules:

• In this mode, players can only use the five skills they get depending on their transformation.
• Skills that normally need specific equipment to use will bypass their requirements (so you can use autoguard without a shield, arrow shower without a bow, etc..)
• All players will have their hotkeys replaced with the skills mentioned above (Upon leaving the PvP map, your hotkeys will be restored).
• All players will have their gears unequipped, and they cannot re-equip them inside (Although your gear will be re-equipped when you leave the map).
• All external buffs, homunculi, wargs/falcons will be removed, and stats will be reset to a certain value depending on the transformation.
• The maximum HP of each player will be set to a certain value depending on their transformation.
• All consumable items cannot be used.
• Killing another player fully restores your HP.
• Players will be warped out immediately after death.
