Ultimate Tripple Triad "Card game" Thread!

[Arcell]

As far as the "lose a card" method goes, maybe have that as a game mode choice. At the beginning of a match you can choose to play for cards or just play for fun. This way people know what they're getting into and aren't forced into one mode or the other. Also if someone playing for cards disconnects they should lose a card. Yes some people have unstable connections but they should know about that and should probably just play for fun unless they know their connection is going to hold up.

Oh yeah I had this discussion with someone and had a solution. Regarding my last post...

Have it so it records your "quit" rating like in a lot of other multiplayer games. Every time you quit the game or disconnect, you accumulate points in that category. Having a high quit rating will make other players not want to play with you, and if it's too high you are banned from playing cards for a week or two.

Copy/Paste from other thread.

I was watching some old game stuff and came across Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior) and then it hit me...

Our YoshiP.... Yoshida Naoki.... Joined Square Enix in 2004. He previously worked on the Dragon Quest Monster Battle Road games.

Now for those of you that don't know that game... since it's only out in Japan... and when I went to visit relatives... that game is FUN... it's another card game where you put the card into a arcade machine and you fight with your characters from your cards...

They finally made a Wii version for it (JP) here's the video for it...

Triple triad is cool by itself... but what if the cards went into battle mode like this...?

When I was in Japan was playing this non stop... I need to get the Wii version... if I only had the money lolol

I know the video's show long battle but what I'm trying to get at is you lay the cards being magical it makes like hologram of the characters on the cards and they fight?

Here we go again, another card thread. Anyway I support card game within FFXIV where you can collect and stack up cards !

Yeah that's also a pretty cool idea, or at the very least have some kind of icon indicating the person's track record with disconnects. It saves people the frustration of playing with someone who just disconnects at the end. Also people will want to keep themselves in good standing with other players so it would discourage it.

Im a big supporter of Triple Triad in FFXIV and believe if we shout loud enough, it will be considered.

They have repeatedly said things like, "If there is enough demand, then we will look into it" in relation to other topics such as UI elements.

I would like to see links to all of the other Triple Triad related threads near the top end of the post and would be cool to see some translations from the JP threads in the OP also. After all, there should only be the need for one 'Ultimate Triple Triad Thread'

The reason the other thread is cool is because everyone shared the understanding that Triple Triad is something that is not being demanded now, but well after the battle reform and implementation of basic content.

It is also understood from the dev. response that there are currently no plans for a mini-game such as Triple Triad at the moment due to the fact that they are 'fixing' the game. It is important to remember that it could be over a year before we ever see anything.

We should not tell the creators of Triple Triad how to make Triple Triad so speculating on fun implementations and scenarios should be fine.

I understand some peoples lamment about "Another thread! urrrrgh" But at least this one is a nice jumping off point for fresh discussion. also the OP "Me" doesn't plan on vanishing for some time yet.

[Picoman]

Well lets start generating some discussion and 'Likes'!

[Arcell]

As has been stated before in this thread it should at the very least have:

* Variable rule sets allowing players to play for cards/gil/items or just for fun.

* Some cards obtainable via quests, monster kills/drops or events.

* Some cards obtainable via NPC shop.

* Sizable card library with of course additions coming at later points.

At the very least this would create a good mini-game and a great distraction for players to participate in. Having more things to do in FFXIV is never a bad thing.

Like I said it's something that would put the game a step up from where it currently is.
