Battle Royale/Hunger games mode

[Darkayen]

Was this ever considered to add a new mode like Battle Royale? There is no suggestions category on forum so I create this topic here. Battle royale games have big potential and many players. Such mode was introduced some time ago in one mmo (GW) and it was incredibly fun. Let me explain a little bit how it could work:

(optional) First of all prerequisite for this is that cross server feature is implemented
(optional) Players should have hidden names
(optional) There could be Solo, Duo or even 5 members party modes
(optional) In case of 5 members party matchmaking should include condition that only one lifestaff can be used in whole team (first member that will equip it may use it)

All people can use their own equipment (weapons, armor, jewelery).
All people can use their builds/weapons skills
All people can’t use their potions/food/honing stones etc - such things as potions, food, honing stones, other custom buffs can be found in random places around map - moving and searching can give such benefits, hiding cannot.
Map is completely new with size slightly bigger than OPR.
Every few minutes (5 for example) a new dangerous event happens on map (it could be spawned monsters, it could be bosses, it could be random corruption or blight zones. It could be meteors that take aoe damage on hit etc
All people start in a big circle in the center of a map
In total center there are many chests with loot (potions, buffs etc etc)
After start of the round people can go inside to take stuff and risk their lives there or run away to the outside without these rewards.
After 10 minutes circle around map shows up (like in arenas) and its decreasing over time to the center.
Last person/team alive wins.
Dead people that lost this round in case of party may only look at their members. In solo game or if whole team died they can move around quickly as ghosts and gather small souls that are scattered around and spawn different kind of monsters that have different price in souls - this will make additional random events for players that are still alive.
(optional) Resources are available and can be gathered and exchanged for other things such as potions/buffs/food/resurrection of your own member/forcing dangerous event to happen in different zone.

No thanks, there are so many issues with bringing a Battle Royale into another game. I know of games that went bankrupt just because the company tried to follow this trend, but in the case of NW it would be shooting themselves in the foot and head.

Unfortunately, NW is already not doing well in terms of player count, and a BR mode would just further divide the player base. It’s already difficult enough to find an OPR, let alone a Battle Royale. And not to mention that for at least the next 2 years, the game will be busy bringing in basic features that should have been in the game from the start.

The BR hype is already over, most of the games that release in this genre don’t last for more than a year.

We need more small scale game modes similar to what you got in the old cod imo.
