Tribute improvement idea | Forums

So it's no secret that Tribute is a pretty dead mode for various reasons. I personally like the idea capturing moving objectives but I think it needs an overhaul to make it much more playable, interesting and fairer.

That said here are my ideas and thoughts.
1) Change the respawn timer to the same as Dominion (plus the execution penalty).

2) Change the win condition from holding all 3 offerings for a period to scoring 1000pts.

3) Each offering earn 3 points per second that a player holds onto it. This is increased to 4 points if your team holds 2 offerings and 5 points if your team holds all 3. Anyone holding an offering is revealed (anyone with Stealth is only revealed to nearby enemies). They take a moderate movement penalty.

4) Killing enemy players, pikemen and soldiers will also grant points towards the 1000pt win condition.

5) A small number of pikemen and soldiers spawn in across the map, pikemen will make you drop an offering if they hit you. These would be dotted around to make it slightly more difficult to simply run and and hide/avoid all combats if holding an offering.

6) Picking up an offering will not score any points nor award renown however holding and scoring points with an offering will earn renown etc.

So does this sound better and more interesting or is this mode forever doomed?

Sounds like a mixture of dominion and breach then

Thats the idea. Clearly most people prefer those two particular modes, even event modes don't stay populated for long. So I thought why not combine parts from both for something people are familiar with.

For part 3, just to clarify. I was meaning points earned for carrying the offering, there would be no place to plant the offering. You need to actually keep it on your characters back to earn the points.

All they have to do is lower the in game timer cause its waaaay too long for a game that goes back and forth like it does. Also the fact that you simply dont get as much xp as you do in other gamemodes is a huge turn off for those who just want to chill in dominion or breach and kill bots.
