Discord, Xbox player finder, we all use them to find players whose goals align with ours, starting off on the same page right away and when it happens it’s usually a good time. But I think an in house version would be pretty cool too!
The mysterious stranger no longer blocks the door and inside it, is a tavern back room. It’s a server that’s just a tavern room with tables and stools and a bar.
You will have lots of players inside here but you cannot hear them at all.
To hear them and be heard you must sit at one of the many tables inside this room. There are 4 seats per table. There will be enough tables to accommodate everybody in the server and obviously even more as people leave and join games etc. At the table you can talk and hear each other and basically discuss what you wanna do etc.
If you are happy throw your dagger inside the table and also vote on the ship you want and then everybody sat down will be warped into the game and you spawn as you normally would. Which is pretty immersive really considering you spawn hungover at the very same tavern!
It would give you a new dynamic. Instead of sailing with randomers or mute noobs you could take charge more of who you sail with. Especially important for captains.
You could also go back into the tavern back room when your crew’s goals no longer align. Let’s say they wanna do pvp but you wanna do more pve stuff you could bid them farewell at the next outpost and go and find another crew who want to do what you want to do.
Plus it kinda reminds me of Sid miers when you start the game.
Any thoughts?
