    To those who have wanted a quick-paced custom-kit PvP experience that is unique in at least some ways, I present to you a project I will be making Weapons and Maps For:

    Shotbow Strife!

    What is Shotbow Strife?
    Shotbow Strife is a fast-paced close-to-midrange-combat experience that revolves around unique weaponry & armor, custom-built kits with custom status effects, unique power-ups, and in-depth maps for you to casually pwn your rivals on! Strife is currently only on paper, but hopefully will be a Gamamode for Shotbow 1.9!

    What do you mean by unique weaponry & armor?
    What I mean by custom weaponry and armor is that they are different than most other weapons in Shotbow, and even different than some weapons on other servers! Currently I have plans for around 200 unique weapons alone, including hammers that send people flying, a sword with the ability for you to suspend another player in the air and deal magic damage upon knock-up, pogo spears, bows that fire arrows in quick succession, and even weapons that get better upon picking up a specific power-up! Armor even has some unique variants, such as the High-Jump Boots and Soda-Hat; the former giving a higher jump and the latter giving a temporary strength buff when hit!

    I heard Custom Kits somewhere in your rant...
    Yes, you heard me, custom kits that come with the ability to equip weapons, armor, perks, items, and even single-use power-ups to up your game and offset your enemies! The weapons and armor are self-explanatory, they cost a relatively large amount (especially bows due to the arrows needed) of Kit Points depending on how good they are, and are your main offense and defense. Perks on the other hand are low-cost passives that can do a range of things in the utility department; ranging from invisibility while out of combat and sneaking to allowing you to jump twice to running faster and even to getting a wolf that follows you around; anything can be done with Perks! Items are also mostly utility-oriented, but higher in cost and a lot more versatile in use; among the likes of Grapple Hooks and Blink Spheres, Flashbangs and Decoys, Respawn Beacons and Motion Wards, there are even offensive items like Frag Grenades, Tesla Guns and Tasers! Arrows and Tipped Arrows are also items, and are used as ammunition by bows and tesla-guns. You can even put a one-time-use Power-Up Token in your kit, as nothing feels better than freezing your foes out of nowhere with a Freeze Blast, or shooting up some unsuspecting player with a Shotbow! The many possibilities with the custom kit system I have been working on are seemingly endless!

    How will this minigame play? What is it like?
    There are currently three gamemodes planned for this game, Brawl, Classic, and Team Deathmatch. Brawl is the fastest of the gamemodes, and gives all players five lives, with them losing one upon death, the last one standing (or if there are two or more alive, the one with the most kills) wins. Classic is slightly slower, as it has infinite lives and requires players to reach a certain number of kills to win; meaning that players have no risk of charging the full-iron meatsheild and losing a life. Team Deathmatch is like it's free-for-all equivalent Classic, but is longer as the team as a whole must reach a far larger kill total to win. Overall, the three gamemodes give a lot of playback value to the minigame, and make it different than most of this server's other gamemodes!

    How will the maps be "In-Depth"? How will they affect the game?
    Well, the current map I am working on, Overhang, is a village hanging off and over a cliff, so there will be many nooks and crannies and plenty of opportunities for every playstyle. Overhang will be mostly near the cliff, meaning battles can quickly change from "well-geared player beating up gimmick-cheese player" to "gimmick-cheese player knocking well-geared player off cliff" and vice versa; basically the premise is beware of the cliff.
    I am also making a more simple one called Golgotha, and is a jagged battleground with a set of crosses in the center. Golgotha's main attraction is the caves winding about it as well as the center, where most of the battle is going on. Some of the caves have pits of lava in them, so there is at least some opportunity for those who love to knock people off cliffs to their doom/

    Could you give a list of the stuff you have currently planned?
    Yes, I can do so interested viewer, I'll make a list each for the different categories of things that effect the player directly.

    Weapons:
    Stick-kind:
    • Rough Twig: A common, low-cost junk weapon that is mainly used to craft it's stronger versions. Combat is not advised with this weapon.
    • Sharpened Stick: Upgrades from Rough Twig; is a common low-cost weapon that is most often used to craft it's stronger versions as well as other common items. Combat not advised with this weapon.
    • Ultra-Sharpened Stick: Upgrades from Sharpened Stick; is a common low-cost weapon (still) that is often used to craft it's ultimate version as well as other rarer weapons. Combat is possible but is highly unadvised.
    • Power Twig: Upgrades from Ultra-Sharpened Stick; is an uncommon low-cost weapon that is commonly used to craft most other weapons, especially in Pearlescent weapons. Combat potential is one of the highest of the sticks (thanks to the Branch Of The Aether Tree), and can be used in conjunction with the Ultrasuit and Super Bow due to it's low cost.
    • Branch Of The Aether Tree: Upgrades from combining the Power Twig and Crystal Scepter; is a low-cost Pearlescent weapon with the highest attack power of the sticks, can be used in conjunction with high strength armor as a potent melee weapon, or used alongside another weapon as a finisher.
    Sword-kind:
    • Training Sword: A common, low-costing sword that is the sword from which all other swords, bats, rapiers, daggers and knives, including those which are Pearlescent, originate from. Combat capabilities are rather lacking and not suggested against other faster, higher costing swords; can synergise well with hard-hitting weapons as a finisher, but will result in less armor.
    • Boffer Sword: Upgrades from Training Sword; is a common low-cost weapon that specializes in knockback rather than having any damage at all, and when it hits an enemy, it stuns them for half of one second, making them unable to do anything at all. Can synergise well with burst-damage weapons as well as gimmick weapons for knocking players off of cliffs.
    • Squire's Sword: Upgrades from Training Sword; is a slightly stronger variant of the Training Sword, can be used as a stronger replacement for the Training Sword.
    • Knight's Sword: Upgrades from Squire's Sword; a rare variant of the Squire's Sword that is stronger but costs more; can be used as a potent melee weapon due to it's speed-to-damage ratio, and synergises very well with high-damage hammers like the Dragon Crusher and Slamtown Funk (although Prismarine Glory and Branch Of The Aether Tree is a better alternative).
    • Knight's Pride: Upgrades from Knight's Sword; a unique sword that is a stronger, more expensive variant of it's predecessor; is very useful as a potent damaging weapon due to it's speed-to-damage ratio, and synergises well with any slow weapon.
    Rapier-kind:

    Dagger/Knife-kind:

    Bat-kind:
    • Homerun Bat: Upgrades from the Boffer Sword; is an uncommon bat with more knockback than it's predecessor, and is overall better for keeping players away; synergises very well alongside a ranged weapon as a way to knock users of the Brick Wall perk away, and can be used to knock players off of cliffs.
    • The Sandman: Upgrades from Homerun Bat; is a rare bat that works well in the field of knockback, and can be used to not only protect from the Brick Wall perk, but can also be used to push players that are stronger than you off of ledges and cliffs.
    • Ultra-Sandman: Upgrades from The Sandman; a unique bat that excels in the field of knockback, and can be used to protect against the Brick Wall perk as well as serve as a way to knock players off of cliffs.
    • Slapstick-5000: Upgrades from the Ultra-Sandman; a legendary bat that functions extraordinarily well in the field of knockback, and can be used to protect against the Brick Wall perk as well as serve as a method of pushing players off of cliffs. Synergises very well with ranged weapons and spell tomes.
    Axe-kind:

    Scythe-kind:

    Polearm-kind:
    • Quarterstaff: a common polearm from which all other polearms begin, has petty combat capabilities and is not recommended for use as a melee weapon.
    • Capped Quarterstaff: Upgrades from Quarterstaff; is a cheap, long-ranged weapon that is rare and can channel effects from tomes in your inventory, making it useful for applying status effects and status effects only.
    • Sapphire Staff: Upgrades from Capped Quarterstaff; is a unique staff that is a mediocre, yet cheap channel for arcane magic that doubles as a melee weapon, right-clicking while wielding this weapon in your main-hand and a selected tome in your off-hand will cast a spell dependent on what tome you use. Serves as a powerful weapon when combined with any tome, especially the higher tier tomes, but is easily replaced by the Crystal Scepter.
    • Crystal Scepter: Upgrades from combining the Power Twig and Sapphire Staff; this legendary staff is a powerful, yet costly channel for arcane magic that doubles as a melee weapon, right-clicking while wielding this weapon in your main-hand and a selected tome in your off-hand will cast a spell dependent on what tome you use. Crystal Scepter is a powerful weapon when combined with any tome, especially with high-tier ones; synergises best with Absolute Zero Tome.
    Hammer-kind:
    • Toy Mallet: A common, low-costing hammer that is the basis for all other hammers. Combat capabilities are lacking, but can synergise well with hard-hitting, slower weapons as a finisher although the Training Sword is a better fit to that role.
    • Wooden Hammer: Upgrades from Toy Mallet; this common hammer is your basic, run-of-the-mill attack hammer, dealing decent damage with a considerate cooldown. Synergises well with heavy armor as a low-cost damage-dealer, but is easily replaced by the Branch Of The Aether Tree or Squire's Sword.
    • Boffer Hammer: Upgrades from Toy Mallet; is a low-cost hammer with considerately more knockback than it's stronger counterpart (the Wooden Hammer), and synergises well with ranged weapons or gimmick builds.
    Shield-kind:
    Glaive-kind:

    Oddball Weapons:
    • Wooden Tonfa: a common oddball weapon that has a high attack speed to compensate for the low damage it deals; is not recommended as a constant in combat, but can be dual wielded making it's attack power higher than that of other commons.
    • Metal Tonfa: Upgrades from Wooden Tonfa; an uncommon oddball weapon that has a high attack speed to compenste for it's low damage, though it does deal more than it's predecessor; this particular weapon is not recommended for combat unless dual wielded.
    • Jade Tonfa: Upgrades from Metal Tonfa; unique oddball weapon that has a high attack speed to compenste for it's low damage, though it does deal more than it's predecessor; this particular weapon is not recommended for combat unless dual wielded.
    • Jade Dragon Tonfa: Upgrades from Jade Tonfa; a legendary oddball weapon that has a high attack speed to compenste for it's low damage, though it does deal more than it's predecessor; this particular weapon is not recommended for combat unless dual wielded.
    • Chakram: A common oddball weapon that can double as a thrown weapon.

    Arrow-kind:
    • Foil: A common junk arrow with a low cost-amount ratio allowing for 16 arrows for 1 point, but have relatively low damage.
    • Flint: A common arrow with normal damage and moderate cost-amount ratio, with 8 arrows for a single kit point.
    • Iron: An uncommon arrow type with higher damage than the Flint Arrows, but higher cost-amount ratio, with 6 arrows for 1 point.
    • Sticky: A rare arrow type with the damage of a Flint arrow, but applies a slowness and knockback reduction effect upon hit; cost-amount ratio is 1 to 6.
    • Warping: A rare arrow type with damage between that of a Foil and Flint arrow, but causes the victim hit to teleport 5 blocks in a random direction, making this arrow more than obnoxious; cost-amount ratio is 5 to 1.
    • Flaming: A unique arrow type that does the damage of a Flint Arrow, but sets enemies on fire upon hit, causing damage over time; cost-amount ratio is 1 to 4.
    • Obsidian: A unique arrow type with stronger knockback and higher damage than the Iron variety; has a cost amount ratio of 1 to 3.
    • Diamond-Tipped: A legendary arrow type with damage much higher than that of the Obsidian type, but has less knockback; has a cost-amount ratio of 1 for 2 arrows.
    • Skyroot: A legendary arrow type that has less damage and knockback than it's heavier variants, but goes farther and applies perk properties just like the others, making it a good arrow for applying Hemorrhage, Piercing and Daze perk properties; cost-amount ratio is 1 to 6.
    • Marbled: A legendary arrow that deals more damage and has the same knockback as Obsidian arrows, while having a 1 to 2 cost-amount ratio.
    • Bedrock: A pearlescent arrow type that has higher knockback and damage than Marble, but has a cost-amount ratio of 1 to 1, making buying bunches of these arrows a risky maneuver.
    • Aetheric: A pearlescent arrow type that acts similar to it's legendary equivalent, except that it flies faster, deals more damage, and goes farther; cost-amount ratio is 1 to 4.
    • Niobium: A pearlescent arrow type that acts as a stronger variant of the Warping arrow type, dealing true damage while teleporting 5 blocks in a random direction; cost-amount ratio is 1 to 2.
    • Mithril: A pearlescent arrow type that acts accordingly to the Diamond-Tipped arrows, dealing more damage at the cost of no gain of knockback; cost-amount ratio is 1 fto 1, making building tons of these a risky maneuver.
    • Featherweight: An inconceivable arrow type that has little to no drop and a ton of speed, all while dealing more damage than it's Aetheric arrow predecessor; cost-amount ratio is 2 to 3, meaning building a bunch is a risky maneuver, though not as much as others.
    • Thunderstone: An inconceivable arrow type that strikes the vacinity it hits with lightning as well as dealing damage to who it hit, causing a splash true damage effect; cost-amount ratio is 3 to 2, meaning many of these is a risky maneuver.
    • Dimensionite: An inconceivable arrow type that acts as an ultimate arrow, dealing Adamantine level damage while slowing, burning, reducing knockback, nullifying armor, gashing and causing splash damage to the unfortunate foe who gets hit; has a cost-amount ratio of 6 to 1, meaning this arrow shouldn't be used in bulk.
    • Adamantine: An inconceivable arrow type that works like the Mithril arrow, but with more damage; cost-amount ratio is 2 to 1, meaning that having many of these is a risky maneuver.
    • Enigma: An inconceivable arrow that transmutes itself into a random arrow when fired, meaning that this arrow can turn into anything; cost-amount ratio is 1 to 3.
    Tome-kind:
    Tier I:
    • Fireball I: A common junk tome that fires a fireball when channeled through a staff: this fireball will burn any player it hits for a small amount of time; leaves no burnout, has a 4-second cooldown and becomes useless after 5 uses.
    • Frostbolt I: A common junk tone that fires a small icicle when channeled through a staff: this little shard of ice will damage and slow anyone it hits, with the slowness being weak and somewhat short-lived; has a 4-second cooldown, no burnout, and fizzles after 7 uses.
    • Earthspike I: A common junk tome that causes a spike to erupt from the ground when channelled through a staff: this spike from the ground will damage any players under it for a small amount of damage and stun them for a brief period of time; has an 8-second cooldown, no burnout, and fizzles after 4 uses.
    • Gust I: A common junk tome that blows away players in the direction you look at upon channeling through a staff: the gust pushes players back about 4 ot 6 blocks, dazing players for a brief amount of time, while dealing a point of damage to lightweight armors; has a 3 second cooldown, no burnout, and fizzles after 10 uses.
    Tier II:
    • Fireball II: A common tome that fires a fireball when channeled: this fireball sets it's victim on fire for a bit longer, as well as deal an extra point of damage on contact; leaves a half-second of burnout, has a 6-second cooldown, and fizzles after 6 uses.

    • Levitate I: Obtained by adding Chorus Fruit to a Gust I tome. A common tome that causes the player to float upwards when channeled: the levitation goes for around 6 blocks before stopping and making the player fall back down, and since the player can move for the entirety of the spell, it is great for utility; has a 10-second cooldown, no burnout, and fizzles after 6 uses.
    • Poison Cloud I: Obtained by combining the Earthspike I and Gust I tomes. A common tome that spawns a cloud of gas in front of the player upon being channeled: the cloud spawned will linger for 6 seconds, slowly floating about while poisoning anyone caught in it for a small amount of time; the cloud is affected by gust spells, moving about one-and-a-half times the push force and growing in size; has a 14-second cooldown, a two-second burnout (to prevent Gust spam afterwards), and fizzles after 3 uses.
    • Frostfire Blast I: Obtained by combining the Fireball I and Frostbolt I tome. A common tome that shoots a blast of fire and ice upon channel: this particular spell does much more damage than it's ancestors, but wares out and fizzles much easier; has a 10-second cooldown, 2 seconds of burnout, and fizzles after 3 uses.

    • Ancestral Shout I: An uncommon tome that is acquired by adding Soul Sand to a Frostbolt II tome; allows the player to release a shout that immobilizes the opponent on their next melee attack upon channel: this shout triggers upon any melee swing and will immobilize any players for 1.5 seconds in a 60-degree cone in front of the caster; has a 14-second cooldown, 2.5 seconds of burnout, and fizzles after 8 uses.

    Hi,

    I'm glad to see some fresh ideas for gamemodes come around!

    Unfortunately, I cannot gather too much from this post as it is. It seems to me like your idea is, forgive me for being brash, kit PvP. I was skeptical at first, but I like to idea of power-ups and status effects. I'll definitely check back on this... Looks like it could be something cool.

    Cheers,
    Walt

    EDIT: Thanks for adding more info :)

    As much as I hate to be this person, I just have to say it. Your gamemode sounds fantastic, but Shotbow has so much on their plate right now with 1.9, it is nearly impossible to start working on another gamemode. Shotbow has other gamemodes to work on/finish and wouldn't get to this for a long time if so.

    this here is a revival post, but is also news:

    I am currently working on the first Strife map!
    It will be based off of a village hanging off a cliffside, meaning there will be opportunities for everyone!

    Let me know what you think about the gamemode so far!

    Hi,


    Are you coding this yourself or is it just a suggestion?

    Maybe, I'd have to learn Javascript, make a server, and make good use of Bukkit first though.

    Revival update post:
    Making three maps for Strife since Siege 2.0 is finished:
    Overhang
    Golgotha
    Levitate
    Levitate is similar to Overhang in the original concept, but Overhang changed from modern to primitivish and amazon, so yeah.

    Hi,

    I really like your enthusiasm and you've put a lot of work into this, but adding another gamemode without you programming it yourself is pretty unrealistic. Perhaps after the 1.9 update and a list of bugs are fixed the developers will have time.

    I encourage you to keep working though! It looks good! Just don't expect it to be added soon. :D

    Cheers,
    Walt

    I will have to try coding it myself, but I have many hurdles to leap before such and it is pretty easy to get the weapons without their skins in with commands and to use a texture pack (and perhaps OptiFine) to give them the skins. The only hard parts are the perks and powerups. That and the gamemode itself are going to be difficult without a ton of spare time.

    It actually isn't hunger games, it's a lot more like Call Of Duty Free-For-All but with mostly melee weapons, first player to get to a certain score wins the match.
    How you get items is by winning matches, at the end it will give you a random amount of resources based upon RNG elemants, how many players you killed, and who you killed; you also get a thing I like to call Strife Fabricators from time to time, but mostly with leveling up.

    Thanks for the question! it tells me that people are looking at this post!

    That is probably what they are working on most along the bugfixes, just give them some time and they'll have it finished and ready...

    "Shotbow Strife" is a wonderful name, though I doubt for the reasons you hoped.
