We need more gamemodes.

Even very simple ones (just a new antagonist character like a changeling) would be nice.

Yes please

Game modes are still in high demand, the current ones have been around for so long. New game modes would be very nice and I feel would freshen up the experience much more.

RE: What makes a game mode? - Mageziya - 04-27-2017

At the moment, the closest thing I could think of for the addition of a "very easy" new game mode would just be the tweaking of werewolf and predator so that they could be effective in normal and common play. Granted, "very easy" is also probably an extreme understatement.

bring back rev 2017

add in werewolf and predators too

The last new game mode I saw being tested was 'conspiracy' where the conspirators had to seal off an area and defend it with their lives. Not especially notable since most people just shrugged, went 'okay' and proceeded to ignore them. May have been revamped into a pseudo-spy thing since then, not sure.

Werewolves I think could be the most fun to tweak

I'd like to see it where they can't control the transformation, and instead just get a bit of warning when turning into a wolf and back into a man.

While wolf, they'd be really tough, so the challenge would be keeping your identity secret for when you're vulnerable as a human

Werewolves should periodically howl uncontrollably, so that the one werewolf doesn't hide in a trash can all round and pop out to murder people and never get caught. I mean, it's funny, but it was also frustrating.

I would definitely love more variety in gamemodes.

RE: What makes a game mode? - Mageziya - 04-27-2017

I just remembered, weren't the early days of vampire basically just a crap-shoot/trial-by-fire of constantly designing and redesigning it after live experimentation? I'd be fine with something like that, since it'd be a step towards things happening.

Blood suckers and stinking dogs! They can't stand each other. Your task as on of these antagonists is to team up with your brethren and crush the enemy creatures.

Add a wraith, a couple of zombies, and maybe a changeling, and you've got yourself a monster mash gamemode.

Don't forget skeletons

RE: What makes a game mode? - atomic1fire - 04-27-2017

Sounds more like a monster smash.

That said I feel like Skeletons don't do enough to be useful against a vampire or changeling.

That said it reminds me of http://store.steampowered.com/app/241280/Chivalry_Deadliest_Warrior/

or http://store.steampowered.com/app/17570/Pirates_Vikings_and_Knights_II/

Games that don't really sound balanced but make up for it in sheer ridiculousness.

Also this round type needs a frankenstein. Of course since there's not really a frankenstein game mode, why not swap with Jeckyl and Hide and give some dude a temporary hulk potion.

As far as it's dreck

modes go, I prefer Alien over Rev. Revs are incognito, well supplied, highly staffed, and have a maximum of 6(more like 3) targets. Taking out the heads in 50 minutes is pretty easy for a traitor objective.

At least you knew who to shoot in Alien Mode. Though it, too, would need a butt

lode of tweaking.

Definitely in for werewolf, predator, and some kinda monster mash mode. It's okay if a mode is somewhat imbalanced. That just means success and failure carry more weight. Well, so long as the challenge is within reason.
