Hello, to anyone who is reading this. I have considered the idea of periodically hosting games of Capture the Gem. I would simply like some feedback as to who would be interested in participating in such events.
For those of you who do not know what CTG is, it is an unofficial game mode in Terraria, comparable to Capture the Flag. Everyone that joins the game must have a new mediumcore character, and pvp will be forced the entire duration of the game. There are two teams, red and blue. Each team’s eventual goal is to capture the gem in the other team’s chest. Each team has a spawn area, which, of course, they spawn at if killed. There are two phases in the game, the preparation phase, and the attack phase. The preparation phase will typically last for 15 minutes (although this could possibly vary from game to game). During this time, teams cannot cross the border onto the other team’s side (the border will be clearly marked). Each team must gather supplies in order to attack once the preparation phase is over. After the 15 minutes (or however long the phase lasts) are up, teams may cross borders and attack each other. At this point, the simple goal is to capture the gem in the other team’s chest and return it to your chest. The team that controls both gems wins the game.
Rules:
Either Phase
Mediumcore characters only
No moving, destroying, or in any way manipulating the spawn of either team
No using any npcs in order to obtain items
Preparation Phase
No crossing borders
No attacking one another from across borders
Attack Phase
No enclosing your chest in blocks in order to make it difficult for the opposing team to access your chest
No opening your chest in order to prevent an opposing player from accessing it
No modifying any tiles near anyone’s base in order to block a player on the other team from entering or exiting
No tunneling underground if you have the gem (Only if you have the gem)
Banned Items
Magic Mirror (So no one can grab the gem and teleport home)
Explosives (Overpowered in PvP, and can be used to obtain indestructible blocks)
Invisibility Potion (Obviously unfair in PvP…)
Gravitation Potion (Again, can be abused in PvP)
Bed (No changing your spawn)
Those are the basics of the game. However, at least six people, three on each team, are needed in order to play a fair game. So without at least six, the whole idea of CTG matches won’t really work. Please leave your feedback letting me know how many people would be interested in joining CTG matches if I were to host them periodically. Thanks!
If anyone is interested in this, also join this steam group so you wil be notified when a match is starting.
Whoa, here’s the Steam Group! You should definitely click here if you’re interested in playing CTG. If not, then I am not quite sure why you read this far into the post. So if you did make it this far, I would highly recommend moving your mouse cursor somewhere on this shiny blue text and left clicking.
