Suggestion:
PVP mode lobby exclusive​

Detailed description:
WARNING. A VERY LONG READ TEXT AHEAD
Alright. This gonna be long. So sit tight and have fun.

INTRODUCTION
So, back during the time when csb ongoing on new reset transition where lot of players waiting and devs getting busy preparing and fixing before the final release. Tbh. I don't know if was me inspired them or it was someone else idea but it is too true to be a coincidence.

Anyway. It is a quite long time of waiting from a minutes turned to an hours and to even another hour. It getting boring waiting with nothing to do. So, while at it. I casually said that, "Wish they added pvp in main lobby so players have something to do while waiting for the server to come back online."

And I paid no mind to it just to find the next lobby update, they actually added it. So thank you so much for that. I didn't expect that.

So with that. As for now, it is nothing much but just a generic pvp that being able to hurt other players like in a vanilla lan world. And so, I'm planned to suggest something to make it as something that main lobby exclusive game mode where it is direct in the main lobby itself without have to go to other gamemode server.

HOW IT WORKS
So, instead of holding the sword to activate the pvp mode. We made a specific area for it. An area of 3 × 6 chunk size. Not accounting the whole level. Just the surface area on top where the pvp area is. Where the outside the box lined with red lines and yellow lines 2 blocks before that where it will prompt the players a warning message that going beyond red line will activate pvp mode.

This area should not be too far away from where player spawn where they enter. Close enough to the server gamemode where you can go back to enter the game when it gets back online after maintenance.

So, usually when happens when player got kicked when the server went down on daily or just some sudden maintenance, player will be automatically get in queue. This cause a lot of problems when they try to enter the pvp area directly after that.

So I suggest that, make some auto queue leave when they go past the pvp area so that they won't be suddenly logged to the game server as soon as the server go back online.

And as usual, there always that people who quit right when they're about to get killed or lose. As now there's tag system to prevent that so I suggest we use that. And we're gonna back to this later.

Yush. Another more thing that since we're planned to make this as lobby exclusive gamemode. We put a big scoreboard where it show kda and and top kills with specific classes. That's right. Classes. Just like kit pvp classes but this time we keep this simple. Just for pvp fun while waiting.

So about classes. We can put few classes to pick before going in or you could just go bare handed.

For now, here is what I have.

Swordmaster
Your holy knight on duty. With shining sword I swear to protect and defeat the enemy!

Diamond equipment set with prot 5, unb 3 armor
Diamond sword with unb 3, sharp 5, no kb no fire
Few stacks of food and few gaps, str 2 pots

Wizard
Do you believe in magic ? Shhhh. Don't tell anyone that I took the library projector to make some illusion projections.

Dyed leather tonic equipment set with unb 2, prot 1 with special effect of perm swift 2 buff.
Unlimited use with cooldown regen 2 pots, 30 seconds cd, poison 1, 3 seconds cd and with longer cd about 10 seconds instant damage 2 splash pot. And also instant health splash pot with 20 seconds cd that only can either affect yourself or any players in your team.
Few stacks of food and an enchanted stick(A Wand) with kb 1 ench only. Deals kb only when land a hit and launch a firework attack when at range. Max 10 blocks

>Weapon abilities - Shift + Right click your wand

Sharpshooter
Hmmm. Must be the wind. Well, they won't see you're coming from far away. Just don't let them get close to you!

Chainmail equipment set with prot 1, unb 1
Bow with inf ench, 6 stks of arrows, swift 2 pots with 20 seconds cd.
Few stk of food

>Weapon abilities - Shift + Right click your bow to activate instant damage arrow firing mode for 5 seconds. 90 seconds cd

Brute
Just a lumberjack that you don't want to mess with. Especially when someone steals their firewood stacks.

Diamond equipment set with unb 4, prot 5.
Diamond axe with sharp 5, unb 3
Few stacks of food

>Weapon abilities - Shift + Right click your axe to temporarily gain str 4 buff for 5 seconds. 90 seconds cd.


CLASS PICK CHOOSING AREA
An small area where you would put some introduction and how it works. Also where you can see the displayed scoreboard Some floating text and and few npc for you to pick up the class kit.
These kit have a cooldown of 5 mins and that including switch to other classes. Remember the tag ? The tag timer will prevent class switching or replacing the broken set for new ones.

The tag will affect position in scoreboard leader which will reduce your kill count by N amount on each punishment. Consequential punishment will increase the deduction amount by N factor.

Additional Details
The 3 × 6 chunk square area should have a structure inside just like kit pvp map and that structure can be based on the lobby theme.

For NPC when choosing the kit. When you click on it, it should open your inv and show what the set you'll have and few items below for class introduction, ability and pick confirm, cancel options . Or you can use the latest mechanic of banner aim clicking for it so you can choose from far away and everything advertised and be able to be read without having to click on the npc. However to see equipment details you have to click them since you can't display everything through the banner.​

Reason(s):
As for now. The PVP mode take time to switch from active and inactive. It not a bad thing but when you want to get in out real quick. Have to wait to switch is not really convenient.

The whole area is basically pvp map and feels it really need designated place for it.

Nothing much. Not really a serious mode. Just something fun to do while waiting in the lobby without you need to go to other gamemode portal when waiting and plus lobby never went down on maintenance so it is always available to play unless the whole server is going down maintenance. It doesn't have too much stuff where it would look or feel similar like existing game modes. Just some basic fun pvp mode where everyone can enjoy.

Players can either straight going to pvp for leaderboard showcase in lobby right after logging into the server and dedicated staying there or just to have some casual fun before going back to their own fav game modes or for anyone to kill time while waiting.

In this way player can still stay around playing without have to log off while waiting or again just to play on that mode.

In this exclusive lobby mode. No ranks defines you. Everyone is equal. It just a pure test of your skill with available classes to pick and use or barehanded. Well . Hope there's will be leaderboard for that too.

Current inventory will be switched to pvp inventory when you equip the set and will revert back to lobby menu when you get out from the preparation area or get out from pvp area from another exit other than into preparation where the leaderboard and class kit pick area.

Well. This just a mere suggestion. I don't even think this will ever get approved but if it does. Good luck on implementing it. I would like to see it get implemented and in action.

Sorry for the long read. I have few more to add but after a long thinking, let put the basics first and think more of it if it does get approved.

It took me entire day of thinking just to write this 2 cent ideas.

Anyways. Thank you for your attention and time to actually read this. At this point I don't think this is actually a suggestion anyway.​

Example(s):
Just an example of the layout area based on current lobby map. I'm not good at designing a map tbh but you get the udea

Yeah. It will draw less attention toward devs and staff that doing the preparation too instead having players keep asking them when it gonna be online or just bunch of unnecessary questions that gonna distract them from doing their job.

Staff members chose to become staff members for a reason, their job is to assist the players whether it's an unnecessary or a necessary question

And as you can see there are a lot of staff roles. The developers of our staff team only implement new stuff into our server. Although your suggestion is detailed enough, in my opinion this will not get the interest of most of the players. -1

Yeah I can see that. Well that wasn't the aim as first . It just a way to keep players entertained during maintenance and as another alternative mode for player to enjoy with special experience as that, this mode is right inside the lobby itself without have to load into another server for the game mode.

Anyway. Thank you to the stuff and devs that work really hard to keep the server enjoyable. Glad I joined pika since 2014

The pvp is a option for players to spend their time waiting. A option and noone has to do it. It is mainly to have something to do while waiting, not for letting staff do their work. If staff has to do work, they are in the gamemode that's resetting... So this has nothing really to do with the suggestion.
