Please Zos make a Survival mode!!!

Trashkan · August 2017

Like a never ending horde with random boss fights and the difficulty increases or amount of ads/bosses or difficulty of ads/bosses. I'm talking a never ending one that people can always go back in with intentions of progressing there way up leaderboards. You could even have group buffs like maelstrom and make it so you can run solo or up to 24 man groups. PLEASE PLEASE ZOS THIS WOULD COMPLETE ME!!!!!!!!

Good idea, id prefer if it were for two or four players. Twelve people would be hard to find for a survival mode

i believe the mode is called last stand.

I think there is a way to do it where you can do 1,2,3,4,ect.. just increase amount of stuff and difficulty depending on the group size. There is an algorithm for everything.

Smash TV style pls.

Betsararie · August 2017

I would like this, also with an option for solo or group. With bosses every few rounds.

Basically like and endless vMA without as many hazards and you just play to see how many rounds you can survive before dying.

Yeah smash tv! Nostalgia

Terrible idea, their potato servers couldn't handle it. Have you seen Cyrodiil, or even Sanctum Ophidia? Imagine the amount of ads you would need to make this even remotely challenging with a 24 man group.

It's all about system requirements and internet connection. The only place I ever experience lag is in Cyrodiil and that load screen boss still can't beat that.

...and I thought you wanted a permdeath thing like the good old Diablo 2...

You mean like a dungeon that goes on forever, and you just go deeper and deeper into it. Then have a leaderboard that shows the top 10 or something, with their score and the level they're at. And it should list them by the deepest level they have gone into.

You also need an option to start over again if you run into a wall, hence the top 10 list goes by deepest level, not score.

Randomize it, and it must have an option to save, and return to the same spot because there are going to be days when you want to do other things.

Of course, there must be a gear list of some kind that can only be used in the dungeon. The reason is that some guy is going to get to dungeon level 100, and then want to take his weapons/armor into PvP or PvE, and he would be way overpowered. But, you could have a special color so you could show your gear to your friends.

And there has to be a separate area where you can do 1vx, or more, with that gear - bragging rights (maybe a 1vx leaderboard based on the dungeon gear. But that all has to be separate from the regular game.

I can definitely support that, and I can see myself going into something like that for days at the time, because some days I don't want to quest, just kill stuff.

What for? So trial guilds can find a glitch, stay alive forever and so get the best rewards and achievements through a "cheating" way without ZOS doing anything? No thanks.

jkolb2030 · August 2017

They could probably turn the Arena in Gold Coast into this instance... seems about right for the thought anyway.

idk · August 2017

I think OP has yet to find vMA or vDSA. Essentially designed for single player and small group respectively for leaderboard progression. Each has waves of adds and each arena increases in difficulty.

@CarbonX The above is certainly not how a serious trial guild goes through content by any means. They learn the mechanics and how to deal with them. Sad some are bitter due to lack of knowledge.

Coilbox · August 2017

Sounds like Diablo rifts...

Coilbox approves!

Edit: Oeh!! and fractals in GW2... they were actually very fun and challenging.

So...

MakoFore · August 2017

I like it. make a group pvp one too- where its basically a royal rumble- players log in quee up and just go in and fight every other guy in there- you die- you're out. you survive - you stay. i imagine it like this:

When you said survival mode, I was hoping something more like having to eat, sleep and drink water, endless monster hordes... meh, not really what I would think of a survival mode, sorry.

Feanor · August 2017

Good idea. We desperately need more things forum users can QQ about so they get inevitably changed for worse.

Ya been there done that. Old news have those weapons ect... It's not the same those end and are easy. This is something for everyone to test there will.

I love it but not gonna happen, is Zenimax, your feedback will end below their back inside a dirty hole

Rickter · August 2017

I like this idea. Dragonstar Arena was like this i think. round after round of sheer combat.

But i would like a structured 4-12 man oriented arena-trial.

I think VMA was a mistake. It never should have been solo. I dont know a single person in casual or enthusiast communities tell me VMA was awesome.

So yes, I agree with the OP in the sense that ZOS should implement more small to medium sized group Arenas.

I love the idea, but exactly this. LOTRO had a survival instance that turned into kiting cheese. There was even a whole build made for the best kite that would grab aggro and run circles so that 11 other players could sit around and soak up rewards.

It was really fun soloing on my guardian tank though.

So you want them to nerf this thing that doesn't exist yet because people might smash through this hypothetical survival mode??? I'm just putting out ideas so I have more things to do in this game because honestly I love this game it is fun even if things get changed and people exploit. I don't want to see all this time I put into my account go to waste by buying another game or investing time into it. I think 99% of people on the forums agree or they just love to troll and they don't want to see this game die because who would they troll?
