New Game Modes

[Fiend]

Just a suggestion, on which I want to hear my fellow SE player's views. Maybe we could have more multiplayer game modes? Some that don't follow the ranking system. I browsed some ideas, and I came up with;

-(Insert Name): Basically a progression in rounds. Each round is 2 fights. Round 1: you gain normal amount of EXP and gold.
Round 2: it is bumped to double the normal gold and EXP.
Round 3: Triple the normal amounts,
Round 4 (last round): Quadruple the original amount.

The catch is that once you lose you start from round one, but you can stay on round 4 until you lose.

Option: Certain cards could be banned in this mode.
Opinions?

-(Insert Name): 16 players are randomly chosen and put in a "tournament" (a lot of these, not a one time thing). Each player goes against a different player, and the victor goes through to the next round. He goes against the winner of his neighbouring match etc. Basic tournament style.
You will get a bonus every round you survive, which could be;
Progress to Round 2: 50 exp bonus.
Progress to Quarter Finals: 100 exp bonus.
Progress to Semi Finals: 150 exp Bonus.
Progress to Finals: 200 exp Bonus.

If you win, you recieve a prize, something like a 400 exp bonus maybe? Views?

Personally, I'm really looking forward to being able to set up private multiplayer games - if only for bragging rights over my housemate =)
but it would be great to see that extended into hosting custom tournaments for say 3-8 players too. being able to choose who you play against.
obviously it wouldn't change your rating.

I'm just really trying to put ideas out there, because whilst I love SE, I feel like I have nothing to work towards. Yeah, there is the ratings, but I'm not really interested in them anyway.

Set up private multiplayer games is a feature requirement in 1.26. You can check here to see what is going to happen. http://dev.wulven.com:8080/browse/SE

These are both fun ideas not sure quadruple gold is feasible for the revenue model though... maybe XP and double gold and level 4.

About the tournament idea, make it best 2 of 3 games for each match up and have the tournaments happen every 2-3 hours a day so if you miss one or wont have time, you can catch the next tourney. Add tourney rankigs and prizes and you've just added a lot of replay value to the game.

Yeah, that sounds better. I was thinking more along the lines of mini-tourney's, but competitive, long ones sound better. Maybe every other hour, so 1:00 PM tourney starts, 2:00 it finishes, then another one starts at 3 and so forth?
