Server Suggestion

I've been thinking, it would be pretty cool to apply the Points Reloaded mod to a Survival environment. There would definitely be some balance issues and other problems associated with this idea, but I feel like they could be worked through. What i'm thinking about is this:

• 16 person Survival
• Balance issues would have to be resolved in the form of more powerful AI, since the survivors will have all of their stats and whatnot
• Balance the exp and point earnings to put it on par with the average rates gained on the coop and versus servers so it doesn't turn into a farm fest. Then again, they'd have to work damn hard to farm in an environment like that.
• Toaster drops would have to be decreased.
• All tanks are mutated tanks. Perhaps a slightly less powerful alternative could be constructed so that the survivors don't get wiped out too fast.
• High score system could be constructed to record the longest time lasted for each map and the team involved.

These are just a few ideas so far. Any thoughts/suggestions?

 

I like the idea, especially with the appeal of gaining more Exp for Points Reloaded.

I'm just thinking, would people flog to the survival over the coop?

 

what do you mean by survival??

 

Its a option you can take like versus and coop, you should play a lil more L4D mate =P

 

I'm not sure, that's the part that we would need to think about. I do feel like it would attract a different crowd, and if we made the exp rates similar, people wouldn't abandon coop or neglect survival just because 1 server gives better exp than the other.

I feel like especially with the new L4d1 maps hopefully coming out soon, there will be many MANY maps to choose from, ensuring that things won't become stale. I also like the possibility of versus survival, as Stefeman mentioned, in a situation like that, although the merits of that over coop survival would need to be debated.
