Time limited zombie lobbies

I suggest adding to zombies mode a mode with limited time.

That mode goes like that: you play normally zombies with the rounds and after the time has ended the round ends saying additionally to the reached round how many mobs you killed per minute. DP/XP is given based upon how many mobs you killed per minute + a bit reduced round rewards.

This is if you have only a fixed amount of time but don’t want to risk that you miss half of the game because it takes 3 hours.

Time limit options should be:
5 mins
10 mins
15 mins
20 mins
30 mins
45 mins
1 hour
1 hour 30 mins
2 hours
3 hours

You get time warnings at:
10 mins left
5 mins left
1 min left
30 seconds left
And the last 10 seconds the timer goes in chat: 10… 9… 8… 7… …

meh, no farms, i against

so each round goes infinitely until a certain time has passed, at which point it tells you how many monsters you killed? Honestly, this is an incredible idea. I’m not sure about the coding process, but it sounds like it might introduce some issues similar to rapid (eg mob limit).

One thing that could possibly change is that on this mode, you get like 10 points for every monster you kill, that way the incentive would be to kill asap instead of farming for much-needed points.

Anyway, this is an awesome idea. Putting my vote in.

Yes.
Are 5 mins enough for each round (Plan A), Rd. 20 has 20 mins due to moon lord?

Or:
R1-6: 5 mins
R7-10: 7:30 mins
R11-19: 10 mins
R20: 20 mins (because ML has many HP)
R21+: 10 mins

Time limit Max Rounds
Plan A: 5 mins per rd. Plan B: time varied based on complexity of each rd.
5 mins 1 1
10 mins 2 2
15 mins 3 3
20 mins 4 4
30 mins 6 6
45 mins 9 8
1 hour 12 10
1 hour 30 mins 18 13
2 hours 21+ 16
3 hours 21+ 21

Round bosses come at 2 minutes before the end of their round (exception: ML: 5 minutes before end):
Spawn time:

Boss (Rd. no.) Plan A Plan B
Hell armoured bones (5) 23 mins 23 mins
Lihzahrd (7) 33 mins 35:30 mins
Bone Lee (10) 48 mins 58 mins
Goblin summoner (13) 1:03 h 1:28 h
Paladin (15) 1:13 h 1:48 h
Moon Lord (20) 1:50 h 2:45 h

I think plan B is better due to adapting to round complexity.
