I thought of this feature and wanted to throw it out there and see what people thought. I think it would be fun for us to have a "Mutiny" Feature it could be on the "My crew" Menu and would be voted for just like scuttle and locking someone in the brig. It would last for a minimum amount of time ( Same time as min. sentence in the brig) and it would allow crew mates to attack eachother just for fun essentially. So many times I've heard people start getting braggy about their pvp skills and someone else usually challenges them for fun but they cant actually fight right then and there the way old pirates may have settled some debates. so I thought it'd be a fun feature just to kill time. Sailing accross the map to a skeleton fort? Why not pirate royale? 4 person galleon every man for himself. thoughts/ Criticism? Go..
One word...Mutiny
@wondrbread To be honest I would love for them to make the plank mean something, Sure it's there and you can totally RP but idk I always felt like in old pirate lore "The Plank" is a big deal, I don't know how they could make it significant but I just feel like it should be lol
@alphawolf-c137 vote to kick make an animation after being brigged for an amount of time, “vote to release” or “vote to walk plank” if u pick the plank a short animation of them walking the plank, eaten by sharks, and theyre no longer in your game. I know people will say this will get abused but i still think it would be cool to have
@eva1977 that could totally be a possible consequence of losing the fight, I would just love to see the crew that just initiated a mutiny and then gets in a fight with a rival crew right after. Not only do you have to worry about them but now you can accidentally kill your own people too until the minimum time is hit and you can vote it off.
@simplybutta I actually do really like that. the only part I'm ehh about is that they're out of the game afterwards. if you're friends with them you could always re-invite them. I wouldn't be opposed to them just coming back after a trip on the Ferry. It's nothing game changing but it would add a nice touch for sure
@alphawolf-c137 i only say as a vote to kick because i see alot of complaints on the forum that alot of games have a vote to kick option where this does not, i never play open crews but i see alot of complaints that trolls on open crews cant be removed, this might be a solution to that problem too
Theres actually a thread someone made somewhere about a vote to kick and i mentioned the plank idea there lol not sure where that thread is now but it wasnt too long ago
@simplybutta AHHHHH, I misread what you said I didn't realize that you were suggesting if you were to kick the player anyway, that you could do that. Then that I agree with 100% haha. one thing they could do is if the player wanted to keep playing but got kicked from their crew they have control of their character on the plank but they can only walk forward. and when they hit the water the screen goes black and they get match made into another open crew, and maybe for those that stay some sort of big shark (meg?) looks like they come up right from under the player and eats them? haha just having fun spitting out ideas.
@alphawolf-c137 this sounds like a great idea! I know my buddies and I would get a kick out of this feature, and I'd love to prove once and for all that I'm the better sword fighter in my group :D
I think there would need to be a few additional criteria added to make it more like a "duel," similar to other games.
- all must vote (as you said)
- upon getting all votes, a 5 sec counter starts. the duel begins at the end of it
- upon being defeated by a teammate you are brigged instead of dying
- after 1 player wins, a 1 minute "gloating timer" begins where the winner can taunt the brigged players. after the timer ends, all are released.
At least, that's how I'd like it to be :D
Think Mutiny should be an option if you get put in the brig, the next update with dingy's would be perfect to put it in.
But you should get the option if you get put in the brig to mutiny: then get put in a dingy with a pistol an a sword, but no longer in their crew, sail to an outpost an get a sloop to sail back an get revenge.Can see how this can be used to make a fleet to if they give the option to split up
After having already suffered 3 actual mutinies to date in SoT, I'm bitter and wholly against the idea - that said, I like that you require the whole crew, but not so much the idea of the loser(s) being punished by any means, especially by kicking out sais crewmember(s), which can only serve to hamper the experience for all involved. Remember, Rare wants to bring players together, not tear them apart.
Instead, I would institute the idea of a dueling mechanic - have an option in the crew settings to challenge any individual crew member to a duel. If the other crew member agrees, friendly fire is temporarily disabled for both until 1 surrenders with an all new surrender emote. You could even have multiple "duels" active so if your crew wants to challenge themselves by making the game harder, they can. This also allows them to duel however they please - to 1st blood, to 1st death, 2 out of 3, with guns or swords, 2 vs. 2 crew, 1 vs. 3 crew, and so on...
