Yes, like Destiny, one different instance fof the social hub, with more players than the open world.
Social Island - Social Hub
Ok, so let's say you implement your dueling feature mate, do both player have to agree to it ? Or it's an imposed event ? Meaning only one of the players has to agree to the duel to trigger it.
Furthermore, you do disregard my opinions, and you are entitled to it, but you also chose to have a laugh with me. Which is great, I mean I did think we were joking but couldn't be sure for we are posting and can't see each other's face.
I merely suggested that the features of mini games and such are great ideas. The easiest way to work is to do so with what we have. We already have a safe zone, which is the ship of the damn, no harm can come to you here. You are already dead ...
The plus side of having it there is that you can go with your crew after being whipped out and have a laugh about it playing your great game ideas!!!
This way even being dead as the result getting killed and maybe losing your treasure, can be a gate to a different kind of fun.
Think about it, while you are having a laugh rolling dice as a ghost, you'll forget the stress and grief you have suffered very recently. Death should be fun, just as living, but it shouldn't hold you indefinitely. Having seduced you over the life and adventures that awaits you after your rebirth.
A lot of crews will cross path on the ship of the damned. Maybe there, they occasionally meet, and share their tales just like we have experienced up until now.@kinggzanga said in Social Island - Social Hub:

Hahaha, you clearly haven't even read OP. It's linked at the very top. No, the previous topic was locked. Nice try though, lool.
Why was it locked? Was it because there was already a yet another thread on the topic?
No, it was made into a megathread. Hahaha.
Yes and it was locked because rare isn't currently looking into a social hub for the game. This was stated by the moderator in the very last post. That makes me question why this thread was even created if there is already a mega tread on the subject. You were given an answer on the subject which was basically "no not right now." In my experience if you ask a question and can't ake no as an answer then you shouldn't have asked the question in the first place. @Deckhands there is already a mega thread on this topic.

Wrong. They aren't looking into 'safe zones'. Again, nice try. Hahaha.
Safe zone, social hub, friend zone whatever you may call it. A hat is a hat whether it be a cap or a touque or a fedora. This topic is the same.
I believe someone even asked you questions to determine if there was a distinction between this topic and the other. I believe you also avoided their questions and called them close minded.

Cant wait for comeback.
Actually it's not, haha. The same guy twenty minutes ago? Funnily enough I remember him too. I also explained exactly why I didn't reply. Hahaha. Anything else? I feel like we are covering exactly the same thing we were 20 minutes ago, which is what I predicted by saying full circle with the same people. The only people mentioning safe zones, are you guys.

You didn't really explain why other than you've seen them post before. The fact that you avoided answering the question is because the answer would prove this topic is for a safe zone under a different label. You've painted yourself into a corner.
So once again...would there be pvp in this social area? If so what would distinguish it from any other outpost in game? If you were to have mini games couldn't they be at outposts instead of a designated social area?
Getting bored now bruh. Like I said, I answered his question in a previous thread linked in OP (the OP which you clearly still haven't read lol). Have fun reading the 700 comments. I respect your opinion, but do I care? I don't. This is just an idea, the way in which Rare implements this is my answer to your question. Hahaha.

I thought the same, the tables were setup perfectly for a quick game of poker!
@tutorialchimp said in Social Island - Social Hub:
I'm behind this. Tortuga is love. Would be great if once you enter this zone you will leave the server and got replaced by someone (so there's a stable number of ships) and once you leave the zone you will enter a new server/filled in place after some other player who just joined Tortuga. Theoretically, that would make the population stable while not having to have a completely separate mode which I consider a bit immersion breaking. I think this system could work pretty well if there's a huge number of players and wouldn't work at all if there's too few.
That would be the ideal way, yeah. Thanks very much for the support, my dude! Tortuga is love!

So again you fail to answer the simple question. Again you keep referring to the other post so why does this one exist. Everything you keep saying in response to me makes it seem like social zone is the same as a safe zone. Please make a distinction of how they are different.
Cry me a river bro. You reap what you sow. You come in here demanding answers, being generally unpleasant and you expect me to have a conversation with you, hahaha. "Make the distinction between this social hub and a safe zone", more evidence of you not reading the OP. A safe zone would be physically within the world, this social hub is a different instance entirely and completely seperate from the core game. Anything else you need to learn?

i can answer that. because i made a thread similar to @kinggZANGA 's and i said i wanted all discussions within my own thread to continue on this one.
why? because as we've been trying to tell you, read the original mega thread linked within this topic and see that @kinggZANGA was the first known person to think of such an idea and got a lot of supported feedback from it (more than 140 up-votes) and moved to the first comment by the mods.
the difference between a safe zone and this social zone is simple. no one can progress within the social zone or hub because they cant bring their loot or treasure (but we did not have to tell you this because it is in the OP). a safe zone is where a player can progress because they can bring their loot and treasure.
I cannot understand why @DewRadley and @Ironuzuka are being dismissed. Both have actually come across as rather reasonable people with valid questions. The OP reads like a safe zone to me as well. You may decide to redefine the term "safe zone" to mean no progression, but there was nothing in the OP to indicate that. I would never have assumed that and disagree with that definition.
For me a safe zone is a place where one player cannot kill another without the first player's permission (ie. dueling). Reading the OP sounds like a form of safe zone to me and I believe it would have a detrimental effect on the game. There are only 4-5 ships on the server. If half the server is hanging out in your safe zone playing another Texas Hold'Em simulator or whatever activities you plan, then ship encounters will happen even less frequently.
Another example of not reading the OP. It wouldn't be physically within the server, it would be in a seperate instance. Why come into a topic and not even fully read the OP and get a complete understanding of what's being suggested? Most, if not all of your complaints are self explained on the OP, lol. They got dismissed because they're fabricating something out of nothing along with not reading OP. OH NO ITS A SAFE ZONE IN DISGUISE, hahahaha. I'm surprised you people haven't suggested that we should be able to kill eachother on the Ferry of the Damned.

A lot less hollow than that! The Destiny hub made me fall asleep. I want this to be a bustling, busy place with fights, laughs and plenty of pirates!

I'm not sure what I did to inspire such condescension, but I can only guess it is because I didn't simply fawn over your idea. All I was saying is they made good points. Deriding me for that seems a little heavy-handed. You accuse me of being overly aggressive within the game (which is inaccurate) as if it were a character flaw and yet you responded to my post "loaded for bear." Quite hypocritical.
I'm not a heavy PvP player and I did read your OP along with the other posts in this thread. Even one of the mods was confused by your meaning and temporarily locked the thread. The author has to take some credit for not clearly communicating their position if multiple people come away with something not intended in their work. My point was, in a separate instance or not, it would draw players off the sea and into somethings else.
I will leave you to your thread since you show such hostility at the slightest hint of disagreement. You can adopt a condescending tone if you like, but all you are doing is creating is an echo chamber this way.

You can play football, climb to trees, send your friends airborne with the ventpipe, don't say that!!!
But yes, with bizarre pirate things to do.
@kinggzanga Was honestly scrolling through the forums and saw this. It's honestly a great idea. I would just say one thing to it, and I'm not sure if anyone else has thought about it this way.
Instead of implementing a Social Island directing into the main game, why not make it an option at the main menu instead. This could prose a way to meet other like minded Pirates, even members with or without mics, and the same language even, or even to just relax and have fun with your ideas posted. (As matchmaking can be a bit unpleasant sometimes when trying to get a full crew of microphoned players or the same nationality/primary speaking language.)
If they were to add it into the main menu option, it could be a literal social hub, and it wouldn't be an island where people could run and hide as some people jump to the conclusion of "Safety Nets/Zones" this would be a stand alone thing.
And even the duel option to be used here, have it where two players agree to duel, and it places them on a Galleon docked next to the Social Island and have them fight to whatever the goal is. And the members in the Hub can watch and cheer as it goes on even.That could definitely be a method in which Rare could implement such a hub. Thanks for the support and feedback bud!
@midwestmonsterx said in Social Island - Social Hub:
I'd definitely be down for something like this. Gives the game an even longer lasting appeal IMO.
Thanks for the show of approval Midwest!
@kinggzanga
Not a problem! I just know many forum members jump to the conclusion about people are talking about "Safe Zones." Which in fact it could be set up in it's own fashion away from in game part of sailing to become a legendary pirate.
I do agree there shouldn't be any "Safe Zones" on the actual in game map. But a stand alone feature could please the masses by giving both sides of the community what they desire. A Social Island (feature in the menu) for those who don't want to go about the core features of the game or those who are trying to find members, and meanwhile leaving the main game to the open seas, pirate ways, and core features.
Note: A Social Hub does not have to directly impact the core features of a game, and not many people understand this as Social Hubs in games are becoming more frequent and new to many users who haven't experienced MMO type games before that use them a lot.Well developed idea.
Instead of a fixed island somewhere on the map, how about it floats in the air on top of a turtle like the Discworld does in Terry Pratchett's books? Aiming a cannon toward it and shooting it, with you inside, would let you access it. It would float around rather aimlessly so you won't know exactly where you end up when you decide to finally 'drop out'.

"This island would strictly be a place for socialising and games."
"That way players who are there to browse, buy, socialise, earn a small fortune playing poker and drink grog can do so uninterrupted and those there to cause a ruckus and beat a pirate up for there gold, can go about there business too."Since ye be referring us so much to yer OP, here is where your mind twists it all in a fancy way for all to read, or merely by honest mistake:
First of all, strictly means ONLY, which leads us to wonder, how do you define socializing and games ? If socializing means no open PvP, then you are creating a Safe Zone. First need for clarification!
You include a PvP aspect to yer thread with your dueling for gold AYE! I like this alot, which lead me to wonder if the challenge was unilateral or not. If it is unilateral then it's open, everyone can attack everyone, open PvP.
YOU say that you can go about UNINTERRUPTED, meaning you can't be forced to a challenge. I can sit ALL DAY in my chair play all me money and leave without even having the possibility to be challenged ... I have no money ... can't even get killed lol. Sounds pretty safe to me. So if the answer to my previous questions had been answered, I could have decided whether it's a safe zone or not. Sitting uninterrupted sounds pretty safe to me ...
I'm not the only one misunderstanding what exactly it is you propose ...So answer me questions me lad for these are sensitive, yet essential topics as you well know.
Brings me to me second point, I've already read about having these games on the forum, and was really interested in having them, your details and ideas for those were very good in me eye! Which is why I merely suggested to find an agreeable location rather than make one up. All good fun in the end ...
No offence but I cant be bothered to answer your questions, considering you've only now just been bothered to read the OP. Sorry, not sorry.
@the-lion-turtle I hate the idea of safe zones, but I like the idea of having the option to spawn in this instanced world BEFORE loading in to the actual game. Would be cool because you might be able to find someone for a 2 man sloop. Mini games could possibly be fun too..
Either way, I love the game in it's current state and wouldn't really want to change how it works now. This is definitely a cool idea though.

"You simply punish crews that choose to patrol outside the safe zone,"
Read OP from a different thread as you suggested, since quoting your OP for this thread wasn't enough. So yes you want to create safe zones ... and this thread is about this, and they were right to close it!
