Mini-Games in the Arena

  • I would like to credit @BaronBrr for inspiring this idea from 1 of his threads - pirates have asked for minigames like cards, Liar's Dice, etc. for a long time, but a great many other pirates fear it would take away from the core of Adventure because then pirates wouldn't readily sail. I believe this fear to become a true reality if implemented.

    I also know, however, that matchmaking times in Arena are really quite horrible.

    So why not kill 2 seagulls with 1 cannonball?

    We put the minigames into Arena, using the tables of the tavern to play while waiting for matches to start in the matchmaking lobby. You may not be able to finish every game as you're eventually thrust into a match, but I think it would be a great way to implement minigames into the game itself, while keeping you occupied and having fun during your wait. You could even have new cosmetics, titles, and commendations made available for playing certain games, hands, or from winning. Imagine having Sea Dog Card-Shark or Sea Dog Pirate Dice sails, or titles such as Card Shark, Lucky Roller, Snake Eyes, etc.!

    Thoughts?

  • The title fir completing every card related commendation could be Jack of all Trades. Or that could be a title for completing everything for every faction

  • It is time they add dice and playing cards in the game as promised in the Tales from the Sea of Thieves.

  • @m3tal-daz3

    Where in the book does it say "We hereby promise to add dice & cards into the Sea of Thieves game"?

  • Thanks for the replies, @BaronBrr, @iTz-Majman, and @M3tal-Daz3 - but nobody as of yet has directly commented on my idea itself - only on the idea of minigames...

  • i think adding something to do in the tavern while your waiting for the match to start would help immensly to pass the time i for one think this is a brilliant idea

  • Honestly I really like the idea of mini games. Liars dice is really a direct call back to a scene from pirates of the Caribbean, and it would be a relief from dying in both modes. There isn’t really much to add to the idea other than a completely new idea. Like Sea of Thieves cards is like Adventure Time Card Wars, but still its own thing.

  • Never played arena. With all the complaints to wait times it makes sense for some sort of mini games there.

  • I feel like there would be people who would only play arena for the card games, and when the match starts, they would just leave. This would decrease the number of active ships in each game even more.

    If this problem could be solved, then I would very much enjoy these minigames in the Arena tavern, and even in Adventure taverns if players would not only play card games.

  • @trendyemperor83 While a valid point, that could easily be circumvented by punishing those who quit early. They don't want to play Arena? Then prevent them from joining to begin with (if their quitting is habitual)!

  • Dance battles 😀.

  • @itz-majman Where in my post do you see that "quote"?

  • @m3tal-daz3

    as promised in the Tales from the Sea of Thieves.

  • @itz-majman Yep the question still is what has my opinion to do with your altered quote?

  • @M3tal-Daz3
    @iTz-Majman
    Getting off-topic, people.

    So, who else thinks it could work? Who doesn't? Why?

  • @galactic-geek I want a side room of the tavern where weapons are allowed, a big room with a ring in the center, that everyone can FFA while in the ring, but those outside can watch!

  • @klutchxking518 I assume this would be in the Arena tavern during the matchmaking lobby? How would you get in and out of the ring? If it's a mad rumble due to letting anyone in, that would be a bit much I think. What would getting defeated look like?

  • Do you think that the minigames will help stave off the monotony of the bad matchmaking times and keep pirates in longer?

  • @galactic-geek i do, you aren’t running around or getting drunk for sometimes half an hour. People will be able to bond over matches, have friendly conversations or arguments, and have something to do while they wait. It will really be a great addition

  • @baronbrr I can just imagine the Arena match after a harrowing card game: "Who's folding now!? Mwahahaha!" 😈

  • @galactic-geek i can imagine the saltiest people telling other people to not play because they aren’t good at cards. Hopefully I will be wrong

  • @baronbrr With it being optional, I don't see that really being a thing. Besides, it's not like you're going to have a Poker face.

  • Guys, that will be a small funny improvement but... There's huge issue in this. Gambling. The PG rating, some country do no alloud games with gamblings... There will be legal problem to solve before even think about that... Unfortunately, laws!!!!

  • @muchturnip49319 yeah I found out about that when I made another post about a card game. Even if it were included, it would only be gold and doubloons

  • @muchturnip49319 You can play cards without gambling. It's easy!

    Cards =/= gambling, but for some reason everyone seems to think it does simply because that's how it's often played or portrayed. All they would have to do is remove the betting system - no big or little blind, pot, going all in, etc. It'd just be about the cards in your hand. You would take turns folding or checking, and who ever has the best hand at the end wins. Winner gets to deal. There could even be ways to cheat or catch a cheater, since we're all pirates.

    love it

  • card games and dices should definitely get added.

  • @galactic-geek I don't know why, maybe this is just my own demented mind at work, but now I have a picture in my head of pirates in the hot tub playing strip poker.....

    But on a serious note, love this idea. Brilliant. Would definitely give us something worth doing while we wait around for a match. Plus I think it could be used to help build up the community some.

    • It would be superfluous (not only in the arena).
      I saw a similar topic two years ago, but there are still no mini games. Sad but true :(
