So my friend and I were talking about a survival/war mode or event and at first he thought of PoE and while this is kinda like that with 5 rounds and 3 waves each round (15 waves total) it's not what I was thinking of. Now I've seen a few posts about this and while I like the idea I have my own thoughts of how a monthly war event could work. [spoiler]Iron banner is a once a month event and I'm pretty sure SRL will be the same but this still leaves two weeks of each month with nothing happening.[/spoiler] Now for my "war" event it would be a 12 person event so you can go with a full fireteam of 6 or you can go by yourself and let matchmaking fix you up. While there will be 'waves' of enemies it won't be like PoE. (There are no breaks in my war) with a minimum of 3000 enemies. [spoiler]that's right 3000, share that between 12 people that's 250 each[/spoiler] Now all 3000 won't appear at once, I'm not insane but they will continually spawn. You can think of it like how the enemies move against each other on patrol. So this is how I pictured it working, there will be a couple notes in the spoiler boxes and for this example I'm going to be using the cosmodrome and the hive. So you've got your fireteam and head off to war, the vanguard comes on and says some quirky little announcement. When you spawn you can see the battlefield, relatively flat but with buildings and objects you can use for cover. Close to your base are some fairly protected towers where you can set up snipers. [spoiler]if anyone is thinking to just have everyone snipe it won't be that simple cause the enemy can flank you if all everyone does is camp[/spoiler] As the battle begins a legion of thrall and acolytes charge towards you under the direction of the Knights. As you destroy these measly adds from before you tomb ships appear dropping off reinforcements (let's say knights and ogres) meanwhile thrall burst out from underground swarming the battlefield. Once again you fight these minions of darkness till they are nearly all gone. [spoiler]the next wave should begin when 80% of the last has been defeated or when a specific target has been killed[/spoiler] As the battle continues on, those in the sniper towers could come down but some special ammo crates will be near to the back on a cycle of about 2 minutes placed around the battlefield are some heavy crates on a cycle of about 5 minutes. Now some daring guardians have decided to mount there sparrows and race out to a bunker of sorts to deploy a beacon for a turret so they can rain some hell on the enemy. The battle rages on with stronger and stronger enemies joining in, I think a number of yellow bar knights wizards and ogres would do nicely, finally the vanguard says "this is it their General" (or something like that) and an ultra comes out. After you have beaten the ultra and all is well in the world a chest will appear for a bit of extra loot and a chance at an exotic. Now some of you might think it sounds a little easy and I thought about that too, is it really worthy of being a full on war? Well the solution I have is this. A total of three levels, each level is only obtainable after beating the previous one. Lvl 1-3000 enemies, teammates must revive you, one ultra and one end chest. Lvl 2- 4500 enemies (375 enemies each), teammates must revive you, two ultras and two end chests Lvl 3- 6000 enemies (500 each), teammates must revive you, three ultras and three chests. As for the loot from chests on Lvl 1 & 2 there is a chance for an exotic and on Lvl 3 one exotic should be guaranteed. If you don't get an exotic then there will be a guaranteed legendary. Well that's what I would like, if anyone has any ideas or if you like or hate it let me know. Edit-so on all levels it's up to teammates to revive you. And I was thinking of the team wipes should you start from last wave for the first two and for Lvl 3 it sends you back to orbit?
