Inspired by @Atherza's thread on possible additions for the Adventure mode, so why not Arena?
- The First thing I propose is for the devs to take a month to tackle bugs, glitches, and server problems for both Arena and Adventure. Making sure the base of the game for both modes is stable and running smoothly before adding new content.
- Leaderboards: Arena is a competitive mode, so a leaderboard system would make sense. Depending on your performance within the game, your rank would go up or down. You would also face players with a similar rank, so new players don't face up against gods. Credit: @DanHoax
Player Fighting and Tavern Games - Duels: The first thing on the list is the ability to duel your opponents outside the tavern in a vain similar to fighting Scervo from Skyward Sword. No guns, pure sword fighting mayhem. Long and thin boardwalk with tall fences to prevent jumping over. You have to push your opponent into a target behind them three times before falling into a shark shiver below. It could coincide with an update focusing on improvements to the current combat system with balancing and new abilities for swords like parrying, rolling, and other fancy footwork like backflips or side flips. Winning duels would not count as winning a match for Captain of Silvered Waters and Legendary Sea Dog. Here's a link to the Scervo fight for everyone curious. Scervo mini boss, not a rick roll
- Expanded food and drink selection, as well as cooking: gotta celebrate that victory.
- Shootout: using guns and cover to fight your foes on land somewhere in/outside the tavern. counts for all commendations
- Have a billiards, lounge, and other places to just vibe in the tavern. sitting animations apart of the objects.
- Players fights would take place in the barricaded room in the Glorious Sea Dog, its own mini colosseum.
New modes
- Ferryman's fury: last crew standing, no respawns. Counts for all commendations. or gaining points for only kills.
- Team Ferryman's Fury: same as original deathmatch, but with more
friendsacquaintances. Credit: @BactaTankBill - Capture the flag: ships are on equal standing teams to capture the other teams' Great Sea Dog chest. 15 mins match or first to three wins. Counts for all Commendations.
- Seas'O'War: Only two galleons duke it out to be the last ship standing. 8 players per galleon (two galleons in one.) Limited resources. The first ship to sink or run out of all resources wins. Counts for all commendations
- Dead Man's War: Two teams with three ships each compete against one another to unlock their chest and eat the golden banana inside. One team has a chest and a key that the other must steal both to unlock, and visa versa. The chest and key are unique in that you can carry them in your left hand while your right hand can use a sword. You can also use a gun but can reload until you put the item you are carrying down. The first team to eat their target banana wins. Based on Pirates of The Caribbean. I still think it would be fun.
- Trial of the Sea Dogs: The sea dogs have constructed a new section of the tavern underground designed specifically for gladiatorial combat to train pirates in preparation for the return of Flameheart. The arena can change conditions each round whether it be a duel bridge over lava, wooden platforms in stormy water, or nothing at all. The goal is to kill the other person or people in sword and gun only (no double gunning) combat. Double gunning is literally blocked from being used. You actually won't be able to equip two guns.
- Skeletons VS. Pirates: The skeletons have gotten even bolder with the recent return of Flameheart and have now begun to invade Arenas with their skeleton armadas. Players will work as a competitive team to compete for sinking the most skeleton ships. The skeleton ships contain sea dog chests that pirates can compete over to turn in. Sinking a skeleton ship grants 1000 silver and you can turn in chests for 1000 silver. Team with most silver at end of the match wins.
- Mark of the Reaper: Single reaper's chest on the map and only if one of your crew carries it will your ship earn points. Also a much smaller playing area. 1 silver every 2 seconds. First to 100 or most at match's end wins. If chest sinks or is in devil's shroud, it despawns to a random island in the playable area. Credit: @BactaTankBill
- Lord of The Hill: Takes place on an island or in the open ocean. On land, you can claim two or three lantern sites depending on sloop or galleon, or in Kraken ink circles on the sea. You gain 10 silver every 3 seconds. There is no reward or penalty for sinking because that's just mean.
- Gun game: every ship starts out with 3000 silver. Attack a ship to steal their silver, can happen to you too. No chests, only fighting. Gain silver for everything you do stealing the silver from other ships. Lose all of your silver, you're out. first to 7'000 silver wins. counts for all commendations.
- Devils Fury: a variation on the current mode that takes place in Devil's Roar. Double silver and reputation.
- Island Antics: 5 crews, one big island. Every X dug up is replaced by a new one. two turn-in zones. essentially just the regular mode confined to one island. Credit: @Fllw3rb0y
- Race of Legends: The popular community-created event is finally an official mode in the Arena. The same rules apply. Counts for all commendations.
- Monster Hunter: Megs Krakens and Skeleton ships are spread throughout the area. Shoot/ kill the monsters and or other players to earn silver. Sink a skull ship, player ship, or kill megs or Kraken to earn silver and sea dog chests for more silver. AI is much more aggressive due to constant PvP.
- Update to the current mode: when one map is finished, another one is released. Prevents all 5 ships fighting over one island. they can kill each other for more profit later. Essentially preventing the stalemate we have all had at the end of an Arena Match.
- 5 Ship Showdown: Someone in the OoS accidentally caused a spell that prevents anyone in the Arena Area from stepping foot on land. Sea dog chests are now to be taken from one Sea Dog turn-in zone to another, ship combat and boarding are the only ways to get chests and win the match. Points for crews who sink other ships.
- Fleet fatalities: Two teams. Each of the three ships is a team. You can earn silver from maps or sinking other ships. If you sink a sloop, 1000 silver; Brigantine, 1500 silver; Galleon; 2000 silver. Same map system as before. Credit: @UltmateRagnarok.
