Punching - Combat and Mini Game

  • Punching

    When players hands are empty implement a Punch and Block.

    RT = PUNCH
    LT = BLOCK

    Combat
    Whilst not nearly as damaging as Cutlas or Guns the Punch can cause concussion, similar to drunk effect.

    Continuous concussion could lead to becoming unconscious (duration of 50 secs) Players would not be able to repeat making a player unconscious after recovery only death (5min cool down)

    There could be Potential for crews to lock hostiles in the Brig for a couple of minutes if they manage to knock them out.

    Recreation
    In the Crew menu an option made present to enable "Boxing" if a players select this option they may engage in recreational fist fighting. It would not cause damage but can cause concussion and if repeated also lead to becoming unconscious.

    This can then become a mini game for friendly pirates to box each other.

    Sport
    At the Outposts in the Taverns pirates could pay GOLD coin to enter a competition with an A.I fighter, the fighters difficulty affected the buy in cost.

    If the player wins the fight they make a profit.

    There could be a score board for the best fighter currently in the world.

  • Love the idea of a bit of a drunken brawl but I feel as if you included friendly fire in this situation I would be punched into oblivion when I take the last banana on board!

    The mini-game idea would be amazing, I think this along with target shooting and gambling would really liven up the outposts and make them more of a social hub but this could impact on camping of the outposts. There is a lot to consider but I love the idea of boxing.

  • @sefer-noctis Point taken on friendly situation so I have amended the suggestion to enable a menu toggle. This hopefully would prevent the risk of griefing.

  • I'm all for friendly brawls on board ship, we currently play throw the vomit in the bucket to pass the time! this seems like a worthy adversary to the old favourite past time :)

  • Maybe, just maybe they are already working on it. Looking at this cryptic tweet from Rare. I do hope so because i like the idea. Or maybe the tweet is about something completely different, who knows.

  • @denimcoo interesting lets hope so :)
