Dog Days could use a revamp, it starts to feel stale WAY to quickly

[(XBOX)Voltren Xytech]

so while the idea of a water fight between us and the rathuum guards sounds fun, its very poorly implemented, first of all its heavily reliant on you getting your own kills for pearls, and you get 50 if your team wins... thats really sad payout for what is effectively a game mode that feels slapped together last minute


but instead of focusing on how mind numbingly boring it is, ill just focus on ways to improve it

for instance, what's more iconic than squirt guns in summer? WATER BALLOONS!

so why not let us get a primary, secondary, and melee weapon from this event?

primary: obviously the squirt gun already implemented, but with more precision and acid instead of water for when your not in the event (plus a skin to make it look like a normal squirt gun)

secondary: a thrown weapon like kunai's, but water balloons, and a skin from other throwing weapons to make them look like water balloons, have them explode on impact for that "splash" effect

melee: ... a pool noodle... like... its that simple, make it a skana skin, or even a nikana skin if you wanna stay in the "ninja style"


finally the actual event, why not put a little more love into it, instead of having 4 levels of one game mode, have 4 separate game modes, each that give pearls for completions and certain tasks:

first mode: obviously the squirt gun event but with the whole load out, ya know 1 pearl per kill, 50 for winning, minimum of 1 kill to get pearls

second mode: how about everyone versus a modified "fit shaces" Kela in a water balloon fight, the goal is just to down her, extra pearls for finding them on the map, like spawning power ups, but instead pearls

third event: an all out brawl with roller floofs, the most kills wins, bonus pearls for each kill (or set number of kills, like 3 kills to 1 pearl) but everyone wins (aslong as they have 1 kill) with the prizes being pearls 10-20-30-40 depending on the number of players and what they place in

fourth event: ... ok... hear me out... Grumpy Grumpy Sargus, you and 3 other players fight against AIs to get as many roller floofs in your goal circle as possible, winner gets 50 pearls, and have 5 pearls per golden floof put in the goal (for the whole team, not just induvial), and have the goals look like giant Sargus Ruk heads, and the enemies can have doofy sargus ruk looking gear on


yeah theyre not perfect but atleast its better than doing the same mind numbing task over and over..... and over and over and over and over and over and over, yada yada yada, you get the point, hell, why not even start adding more characters that join in on the fun, maybe Vor would like to party a bit, or perhaps Sargus Ruk will finally host a chili contest, or maybe people tie Vay hek to a dunk tank and try and make him take a dip, or maybe lech kril would sell funnel cake and snowcones just go full carnival... gods know most of us cant go to one in real life with how things are....

petting zoo run by Hyekka master and Drakk Master, manics running mask shops, Sprag and Ven'kras "hammers and shinies" stand, the Tyl Regor arm wrestling contests... its summer, some fun would be nice, even if most of it is just environmental fluff and decoration


just some ideas for next time i guess

Love the water balloon idea.

I think the community yelled pitched a pool noodle melee ever since Dog Days came out but to no avail.

The 1 pearl per kill is not enough, especially if DE adds more stuff to Nakak's store.

Some enemies should be worth more than 1 pearl... (looking at you Garesh) 

Oh and give Dhurnam two Soaktrons, the guy uses two Heks as his main weapon for Queen's sake! The INJUSTICE done to this man...

Addition:

Ammo Water Stations should heal you ._. WHY IS THERE NO HEALING IN THIS GOD FORSAKEN GAME MODE

I don't think that's what The Feedback Section is for....

It's also pointless because....
