The changes I have made is to bring a new experience of gameplay in gauntlet that is based off one of my ideas for a sub game type in gauntlet that could be called Gauntlet Infinity or Gauntlet Regeneration or something. Anyhow the idea is that time is not exactly the enemy as much as trying to fight a very long and hard game and keep your head above water for the gateways you destroy more will come back IN GAME. The gateways will respawn and there are a few ways this could be worked into a game type. Either the goal could be the same as usual and destroy all gates in time with the added challenge of a few gates coming back or the challenge of no time but gateways coming back and your goal is to keep the gates from reaching a certain number which I'm thinking will be a percentage of the starting amount of gates like 200% or something so if you have 21 gateways you got to keep it from reaching 42 or your team loses. I have some idea I'll be testing out on the players of gateways once I get things working okay on my end.
Right now I been doing a bit of codding and brainstorming on my end thinking of how some of the few exposed players felt about the changes and the results sat between interest to frustration. I think I know what changes I need to make. At first gateways respawned in random locations like they do when they are originally spawned in the map at a first glance it seemed to me why change the existing system for spawning gates? then after I saw Dire and Marylyn play at DM-007-Bunker That huge map with long hallways and watching them run from one corner of the map to kill a gate and another one spawns on the other side seeing their frustration I know now I need to change the system. So now I'm going to try a cool system that gateways will only respawn where live monsters are left at in a map. So be sure to kill that cowardly manta that flies to the top of the mountain at lava giant
I'm already excited to see the possibilities!
