Miedein Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 You know how in a lot of MMO's they'll have seasonal events, like, I play FFXIV as my main MMO currently and we get seasonal and special events for cosmetic items around most major holidays. I'm also curious though if there will be potentially down the line be something like fishing or other mini game activities added to the game. will there be a command for a random number generator? What if someone wanted to run a casino? Building, exploring, and fighting is all well and good mind you. And obviously I don't expect precious man hours to be wasted on these types of things throughout the alpha and beta stages of the game. Let's get the core gameplay solid and balanced first. But as someone that's played a lot of different MMO's, and a pretty avid RPer, I've noticed that one of the best ways to keep a keep community strong is by giving them as many options to be able to interact with one another as possible. So possibly giving us some mini-game options, fishing for just relaxing (assuming you can develope a fun fishing system sadly a lot of games fall flat on that one) But even some casino like mini-games would make things fun.

mrjacobean Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I think the community will deal with seasonal events. As for minigames, it is possible to create them using LUA (JC showed off a virtual game in one of the recent devdiaries) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizardoftrash Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Once the game is in full-swing, I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see some kind of seasonal events, however I have a hunch it would be more of a matter of tying-in new content to seasonal themes. For example, they might add some new world-gen features to ice biomes during December, or add procedural generated derelict ships (aka ghost ships) during October, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megaddd Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Silly stuff? If they allow embedding Youtube videos onto in-game screens, I bet we'll have no shortage of that. Warden, Vorengard and nidan007 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shockeray Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 There are already plans in the works to have universal games (think Olympics, but with speeders). nidan007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTO6PL Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 "Any plans for silly stuff?" - First what I see in my mind is spaceship looking like a dick but It's not Minecraft and I hope there won't be this kind of stuff in DU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you could code casino games with LUA. Shockeray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megaddd Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I'm not sure they might want to allow facilitation of gambling with virtual currency that can have a real-world value equivalent. We all know how Eve-bet went. Not to mention all of the skin gambling websites for CSGO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamamushi Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Of course, DU Casinos will be a thing, lol. We're not talking about running a Bitcoin Casino in-game, it's Quanta. There's going to be other types of betting mechanisms, races/contests/whatever, so it's only natural to extend that into LUA scripted games.

Miedein Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 I can already see it now. We all get together and build a massive city outside the ship. We get a few casino's up and running. Band of Outlaws turns into a mafia running the casinos and inticing new players to the gambling games with lines of credit. New players lose all the money and get shipped off to some distant planet to work in mines for their war efforts. Just... tossing ideas at the wall to see what sticks. magey3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollymawk Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Turning all matter into mantrid drones would be pretty silly seasonal event... Dual universe - the universe of light the universe of dark .. it all starts to add up. but i loath seasonal stuff in mmos, i really hope we don't all get santa ships for christmas.. and mini quests to collect eggs. that would be more OMG than MMO i also loath the idea of a casino - zero appeal to me.. its like winning tickets to the international space station and only playing Candy Crush Saga while you were there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
