New Innovative Fresh Idea- Junuundu Soccer!

[Just a note: If you dont like Junuundu's how about moa's ]

Name: Junuundu Soccer!
Something completely new to guildwars... Well semi new due to the dragon arena.

How it would work? A New arena be created in Desolation where people can go to play the game. The teaming would be 8 vs 8 (Guildwars can support this) with 7 players using special locked skill bars and one goalie with a unique goalie skill bar. The Game would really bring out some strategy as the player would have to think who to pass to, Where enemies are located, If taking a goal is the right thing to do, etc.

The arena will have two goals obviously and follow most soccer rules. The Aggro bubble would also be used more for strategy as certain distances would be required.

The HP Bar: The Junuundu's abilities/movement will cause the Junuundu to slowly lose HP. For every second a Junuundu is moving the Junuundu will lose 5 hp per second. Junuundu's have massive amounts of health and will be able to make a few laps around the field before losing all their HP. Also their skills will also count against their HP. Health will be taken away for the skills they use. Once your health reaches 0 the Junuundu will be taken out of the game for 60 seconds. They will incur DP This way and thus their skills would be weakened.

How one team wins: If you havent watched soccer... I pity you. After the set time is over, the team with the most points win.

Skills system: Currently Junuundus have set attributes. This system will be based off the Junuundu's level. Their level decreases drastically with dp. 5 levels are removed for each death. 60% Dp= 4 deaths= Level 0= Permanent kick.

Other Ideas: A tournament every GvG Season?

The idea would bring a really fresh new idea into the game and would be really fun to play with the guildwars storyline/system. Comments? It Doesnt have to be junuundu's only but thats what i thought of first i guess

Junundu Volleyball = better idea
Junundu Soccer may not work that well. Maybe make it for normal player characters.

Heres some skill ideas:

Pass [Signet]
Cast Time 1/4
Recharge Time 1/4

Pass to targetted player. If there is an opposing player in the way, there is a 90... 75% chance to miss the pass.



Headbutt [Elite Skill]

Only use once per game

You headbutt target opposing player. You are red-carded and cant return to the game. Your opponents skills are disabled for 600 Seconds.

I think you mean Udnunuj headbutt ^^

Good idea.. but why soccer?
hard for a warm to play soccer.... I would say Amercian football might be the better choice...

Also how would you handle the ball? one possiblity is to make it a hold item (like the flags) but a thing to watch out is that there are no physics in GW, thus a ball can not be kick or thorwn or bounce in realistic ways.

American Football? No thanks, the rest of the world isn't interested in that

Call it Football and not Soccer and I think its a great idea. Would need a bit of tweaking, but it could be done.

Thnkx for pointing that out RTSFirebat
It's FOOTBALL and not soccer

On topic.
I also think a game of volleyball would be more interesting.

As much as I like American Football, I don't really think there's another way of the wurms to actually play the game. They don't have too many feet, so I guess they'll have to pick up the ball to carry it, then either spit it or whack it along to shoot/pass.

Great idea though, I love playing with them, cracks me up every time I /dance in one. Only issue I have with the idea is having to listen to 16 wurms digging through the ground, that noise would be rather overwhelming unless Anet will tone it down a bit.

Sorry for all Non North American People

Soccer= Football

Well it depends really if Anet would want to add a sport to the game or not and how far they would want to use developer time really. Well for junuundu they could kick it with their head bent down but thats just me. Of course another sport could be used as well

haha yeah volleyball, show junuundu's in bikinis ^^
