New Gametype KitPvP or Prison

[Aluux]

Prison and KitPvP are fun gamemodes which are very popular on other networks, usually some of their most popular games. For a long time, PZ hasn't really been seen as a network to have a game like this as we're "family friendly" and these games are "too violent", although we do have a game which encourages you to kill your friends...​

Why is it a good idea?

So what i'm suggesting is this. Its clear to see that original games aren't working at bring more players to the network, splatter, arcade, survival games, revamping downgrade and even massacre didn't last very long, and now I feel like it's time for a change. KitPvP or Prison are both major gamemodes which are competitive where you have to go against other players (KitPvP more so that prison), with KitPvP we are able to make it partyzone related as you can make kit names party themed, and with prison, instead of having things such as mine A, B, C etc... we could have mines which are also party themed to fit along with the party theme nicely.

Another reason this is a good idea is that events on the network can get quite repetitive, build battle and karaoke every weekend, lobby hunts for annual events, story and drawing contests on the forums and so on. Adding these kinds of gamemodes allows us to add more variety to events, like with both modes you can do a king of the hill event where the winner at the end of a set time wins a certain prize, you can do drop parties and much more - this will add a wider variety to our events and allow them to be less repetitive and more interesting.

Why might people not like it?

Now, people may be saying "No we can't have this its too violent for pz, and this will increase toxicity and hackers which isn't good!", we have a staff team, a chat filter and a forums which you are able to report players on, so this is not an issue and can easily be dealt with.

People may also not like it because the game is too competitive for the network, however as I stated we already have games such as downgrade or murder which we have to kill people, so these games aren't much different as to which we have to kill people, prison is less violent and is more trying to rank up but can also have a pvp arena of some sort to make it more interesting.

Thank you for reading! Let me know what you think ​

I really like the idea! i would love to see prisons or Kitpvp Added. +1

 

[mochichan]

I love this! (Tbh, I was thinking of making a suggestion about Prison!) On another server I used to play on, KitPvP and Prison were their most popular games. It was really fun and on forums people mostly talked good things about it. I think a popular gamemode like this would be successful on PZ! +1

Is this a combined gamemode/suggestion or are you proposing two different gamemodes for the server?

Partyzone needs a game in which there’s a competitive vibe to motivate players to return to the network to be “the best”. Prison is definitely one of the many gamemodes that will do so, along with factions (a different suggestion).

Kitpvp is a iffy suggestion, it’s an outdated game, I don’t see many players on kitpvp regardless the network/server. Kitpvp seems to be a gamemode within Prison anyway. I don’t see Kitpvp being a popular gamemode for PZ, but I can’t be sure.

I understand the point of it being “too aggressive/violent” for PZ, but again there is a staff team for a reason, if there is any rule breaking they’d be punished. I don’t see why PZ being a family friendly server would not allow the implementation of new gamemodes.

Overall +1

I enjoy playing game ideas like these on other networks and the idea is solid but I feel like it just doesn’t suit PZ to have game modes like these.

Even though this game mode may not suit PZ, we need more games that’ll attract players or else the server will die quicker than it could’ve if we tried implementing more appealing games to players from elsewhere, not just old pz members.

These are game modes any kid could set up. We should probably look into ways of making them more unique than just themes, such as special mechanics, special items, special kits. ETC. I'm not saying we need to be the most unique in the block, I'm just saying we should probably stand out from what an eleven year old can make in a day (minus build time)

So if we can get kit and mechanic ideas for kitpvp and mechanics for prison, then that'll make the idea much more appealing, and could attract more players.

While I'd love party games to stick to it's little cluster, it seems obvious now that this cluster of games isn't cutting it much anymore, and we need to branch out.

Another thing of note is both of these gamemodes already exist on the sister server in some capacity. (OP prison, kitpvp.)

 

[Linkshunter]

Maybe there could be special kits that you dont see anywhere else other then mcpz that could involve some of the things from other games on mcpz, like weapons from downgrade or splatter weapons. You could also make a leveling system for pvp in which the more matches you win you level up more and more, but idk

There's a sister server!?

Yeah, gaurav the owner owns another server aswell termed as the sister server.

 

[Supernqtural]

I love this!! I love both KitPvP and Prison and I would definitely spend a lot of my time on those two games! +1

It’s not that but the PZ devs have built PartyZone to be this kid friendly community and game modes like these just wouldn’t be for the server because it would probably bring toxicity along with it, something that the staff team probably can deal with but wouldn’t want to.

something that the staff team probably can deal with but wouldn’t want to

Why wouldn't they want to deal with people who bring toxicity to the server? It's their job and they have to do it I would say.

 

[Meow]

Those modes would make the mods jobs a lot harder

If it makes their job harder okay. you cant just not implant a game mode because of toxicity that's what the staff is there for. to keep toxicity as low as possible even is it does make their job harder

Regardless if they already exist in the sister server, PZ players do not want to switch between servers, especially ranked players. For the obvious reasons of “I payed money on THIS server.”

It’s not that but the PZ devs have built PartyZone to be this kid friendly community and game modes like these just wouldn’t be for the server because it would probably bring toxicity along with it, something that the staff team probably can deal with but wouldn’t want to.

Toxicity that the staff team would have to deal with, if it ever occurs. It does not matter if they want to or not. It’s their job, they’ll have to.

Those modes would make the mods jobs a lot harder

I’m sure there are always new helper applications in the works, if it comes down to that, the administrators will likely add new staff members.

I don't see how it would be toxic? Simply speaking a game might be know to be toxic yet thats really just a stereotype of these games not what will actually what it will be. As well many kid friendly servers or unkid friendly servers sometimes switch to one or the other. Servers change, as well it could bring a older crowd making the server not to have a need to remain kid friendly or completely kid friendly.

 

[Aluux]

For those of you saying it will make our jobs harder, there is a reason as to why we have a staff team - and at the moment we have around 8 staff members in creative at peak times, meaning we will have plenty of staff to deal with toxicity - you can also report it on the forums, or message a staff member. As I said, toxicity should not be a reason to not implement these game modes.

I think its a lovely idea!

The staff team already work very hard to keep out the party-poopers and keep us safe. We don't need another risk of problems for the staff team to moderate.

 

[just a person]

I wish I could press “Should Implement” more than once.

All jokes aside, yes. +1

I understand the staff work very hard but they've volunteered for it and I'm sure it doesn't really add alot to their burden there are many staff currently and new staff keep coming, it'll be alright we don't have to worry, if the administration staff feel that the server lacks staff they'll always invite new ones to help volunteer!
