Mini games in PE.

The best part of playing an online game in my opinion is the interaction between players. At the moment not many activities in the game promote the social aspect which for me plays a very important role. As it now stands the only official activity based interaction is team hunting, PvP and the very rarely organized player events. So I would really like to see “mini games” of sorts be implemented into the this virtual universe.

Some things i can think of are for example:

  • Shooting ranges with varying degrees of difficulty

Score boards, moving targets, weather conditions, implementable handicaps. Think creative and it can be very fun!

  • Racing carts

Just a racing course usable by anyone at any given time. At the cost of a little oil put into the cart u can match ur racing skills with ur friends. Maybe a Hall of Fame with best lap times.. who knows :stuck_out_tongue:

  • Card game

In FF8 I was really hooked on the mini game where they used the mobs from the game in a mini card game. Make the cards lootable from the corresponding mob and have them divided into several categories from common to unique. (Unique maybe cards of famous players in the game or something). Also some cards may pop while crafting which gives ur mob-card extra bonuses! Perhaps it’s possible to make the card game only playable in bar’s and estates/ apartments. Gives a bit of that home feeling to PE (cocooning).

No idea is crazy enough as long as it’s fun and not offending and ofcourse it must be able to implement it into the PE game structure :wink:

Great ideas! the carts sound fun…small hovercrafts or something :slight_smile: MA could use them to try out the vehicle system before launching it in big scale :wink:

I like the cart racing and shooting range ideas :slight_smile: But, for the shooting range, who would wish to waste ammo on that :confused: Perhaps could be something more like a little game where you pay 1 ped and get 50 rounds or something… basically just free money for MA

Anyway, ya mini games would be a great fun addition

It would be a nice idea to have something like this, but it is possable for players to make event bases arond socialising rather than combat but the intrest seems to be a little limited.

True but that’s because it’s hard to get player awareness for these kind of events. Hopefully my event terminal idea will get implemented some day. At least Marco is actively working on events and how to implement them into the game structure.

Although most events r rather passive (like dancing and chatting) unless it’s pvp based. Other activities could be implemented to make socializing more easy, fun and active! I’d love to put on my headset, jump into a go cart and race against my soc mates once in a while.

Think of it as teambuilding like during a survival or something :wink: It would do great wonders to an already great community and would also create more “loyalty” to the PE universe imo.
