The Free2Play MMO Skyforge wants to make battles between guilds its trademark and has come up with some interesting ideas.
In a developer diary, they present in detail the “Pantheon Wars“, the guild battles. We have summarized this for you:
Pantheon Wars are for passionate players
- One needs 100 young gods to participate in the wars: These are players who have already unlocked their god form – it is definitely a high-end activity
- Players must bid at auctions to buy the right to a guild war; it is about owning temples that then provide weekly bonuses and resources either defending their own or conquering others
- All guilds within a territory can compete against each other
Bombastic visuals are not accidentally reminiscent of God of War 3
- The “Celestial Temples” are supposed to look bombastic and epic – these are not just abstract numbers and images, but massive, fully playable zones
- The Allods team asked Cecil Kim, who was responsible for the visuals of God of War 3, to develop some concepts for these locations, because they found God of War 3 so beautifully epic
This is going to be really, really big
- A massive battle will take place around a temple, in the PvE and PvP area players can collect points – 100 players from each guild will participate
- The 50 PvP players will be divided into groups of 10/15/25 and encounter each other on 3 different PvP maps with special winning conditions; from the 50 PvE players, 5 raids of 10 players will be formed on each side, who must defend or attack depending on the situation
- The combat flow itself is relatively complicated, as numerous events take place simultaneously, players must compete in both PvE and PvP
- In a kind of PvP “final battle”, the 30 best players from each team will fight against each other – here the god forms can be used fully
- As a reward, progress in the God Atlas (the skill tree), special status costumes, and unique mounts await – the status costumes will also enhance players
