Arena - Man Of War

@thejoegrizzly said in Arena - Man Of War:

Wouldn't mind seeing an Arena game mode that involved two Man of War's going into battle with each other.

The teams could be 10 pirates each and the ships themselves would be bigger then the Galleon with 4 guns on top plus another 4 on the actual gun deck(the second deck).

It of course follow the same point system formula with current arena except there would be no chest to fight over. The arena would also slowly get smaller(a storm or something) so you couldn't just get a point lead and run away until the timer runs out like a lot of people like to do.

that's sort of like a battle royale but rare has stopped updating arena for the time being but i would love to see it in some form not a battle royale form

@thejoegrizzly that would be a bi difficult for xbox one to run unless there are only 2 ships. which ever ship sinks first loses? its a good idea, i like it a lot.

it reminds me too much like a battle royale

@birdbot500 said in Arena - Man Of War:

@closinghare208 i wouldnt say it is a battle royale, it technically is not a battle royale when there are only 2 teams. the shrinking storm is similar tho.

yeah that part is but yeah

20 people
2 ships
400 cannonballs
100 wood
2 pineapples
4 mangos
20 popagrantes
30 coconuts
200 bananas
The last one standing wins

more than 400 cannon balls for a bigger ship

@closinghare208 its a survival thing. yea probably, but you need to manage your cannon balls. think about it, you hit 200 times but they only have 100 planks....

true

@rtl-saint said in Arena - Man Of War:

@closinghare208 then it turns into who can get the board after hitting them with cannons, while you bucket faster than ever bucketed before.

let it sink slowly if anchored and if moving faster like the gally

@thejoegrizzly said in Arena - Man Of War:

A shrinking arena isnt a bad idea. It ensures people are actually fighting and not just running out the clock

no one said it was but it's like a battle royale

@thejoegrizzly It already takes extremely long to fill a 5x Galleon (20 players) server. What hell are you expecting us to go through queueing up for a 5x 10 (50 players) server without horribly undercrewing these proposed 10-man ship designs?

Well if you actually read the post. I said TWO Man of Wars. Not five.

So two teams forced to battle each other and only each other.

That seems utterly dull and not even at all what Arena should be focusing on.

@thejoegrizzly said in Arena - Man Of War:

@kapitein-kater You must hate 80% of competitive multiplayer games if you cant tolerate a team v team format.

If I want a Team vs Team combat, I'm just going adventure. If I want a Team vs Team vs Team vs Team vs Team combat, that's what Arena is for. The multiple teams idea is PRECISELY what makes Arena separate from just straightforward combat.

Battle royales have good ideas sometimes. They're the current hot trend for a reason.

yeah but not in this game

@thejoegrizzly said in Arena - Man Of War:

@closinghare208 How would you know? Its not been tried with this game

true but it would mess with the core gameplay of arena

OH yeah ! Arena needs more entertainment, i know sea of thieves has neglected it hardcore which is very sad tbh. To see the heavy force of two or more man o wars going up in battle would be crazy awesome!

@thejoegrizzly Yeah the hit detection is dreadful because players are randomized into servers so if you are meant to play on Oceania severs you can still be placed in Asia, EU, or even US servers. Bonny Seven confirmed this to me in the email "At the moment, servers are assigned randomly."

Thats another reason why hit detection is all wrong.
