Mini-Games now on Test!
 

Mini-games are now on test server. Have to say, the potions game was better than I thought it would be. The ship repair games were okay. I wasn't able to figure out how to start the fishing minigame, though the fishing pole appears in the Treasure Chest. Enjoy!

I love the potion varieties. Some even turn you into an animal!

Edit: Fishing doesn't seem to work at the moment. Also, pressing space or viewing the ingredients in the potion minigame can sometimes crash the game.

I like the new mini-games. Fishing doesn't work (at least for me); ship repairs offer 3 different difficulties, and give gold; potions are fun, and offer us many different varieties.

Like our weapons, fishing and potion brewing has their own set of reputation levels too. Gives us something else to max.

rofl time to max out my mastered guy.... again :D
Taking a while to update though

It's been saying Updating 0% percent now for the past five minutes this must be a big update. Don't spoil anything until i log on. :P :) :D xD

There are potions that make you burp, fart and puke! It emits a deadly green gas into the atmosphere as well! Great for grossing out your friends! What kind of MMORPG lets you do that?!

There are also other stuff like changing your skin color to green, shrinking or growing yourself, and even lighting your head on fire!

Most of these potions require you to meet the potion level requirement and brew it at a certain island.

I love this game!

lol a shrinking potion how long does it last?

Bwahaha, i'm going on right now >: D.

This is a good example of the POTCO staff meeting the needs of younger players.

Now what's in store for the older players.(Hopefully)

Anways, that was just a smart remark. From the sounds of things, the minigames sound like worthy content. I'm going on test now.

Wow!! I got to get on!! But theres small problem. My guild are very not happy about it, Why? Because some svs are having problem with it likely you can't repair because you have to do minigames first. And however i may heard they may removed SVS? Isn't that possible?

Puking.....

Only have done the ship repair-easy level, but the potions are hysterical from what I have witnessed. And yes, the fishing doesn't work properly yet....

Game keeps crashing every once and awhile during potion making. and why isnt the land cannons and fishing working?

There's cannons James? Where might those be?

By the way, this is going to keep a lot of people busy while they're most likely working on a second story quest.(which better involve land cannons, potions, fishing, and repairing ships.)

Land Cannon? Isn't possible that with Navy forts with new " Flag "?

I wonder if they'll let us use those "vile" potions during GM events.

LOL, be ready to see a increes of people being knocked out as soon as these come out...


Man, people are going to so over use the potions like Fart, Burp, Puke... Ect. I just used the Burp poition. I was like OOH! What does this do??? So I used it... And well, I think people got mad at me xD.

Aye from what i heard its A New Mini-Game:bookishfj7::piratewheelgo2:

Here's me pirate using a vile potion:

It's so toxic, you can even see a skull mark showing as it enlarges.

Now the test game is down for maintenance... I hope they add those two new mini-games. :)

One of the very last potions turns you into a scorpion for a few minutes, but it will be extremely hard for you to get it, because it requires you to get the seventh(or eighth, I forgot) scorpion ingredient, which is a scorpion soul.

But what we really need is for these harder potions to last a lot longer. I mean work that hard to only get it for a couple minutes?

Aye I agree Mac. We should also have one that turns us into a seagull, or a stump. I do like that they added mini-maps to the swamps and the forests. But not to Cuba and Kingshead though.. I think they may re-make it. I could be wrong though. I mean why else is there not a mini-map there.

I agree, the time should be longer, but it is actually fine the way it is. Its not as challenging as it seems to unlock those items, it just takes some time.

However, I wish they would give us an option to end the effects of the potion, because having to wait for 1-5 minutes can be annoying when you just want to show others...

Oh and.. these are my two favorite potions for a level 10 :)

I agree that cuba might be redone, but redoing Kingshead would be a downgrade, and a complete waste of developer skill. Kindshead is perfect as it is Disney, don't waste your time and only make people angry.

is that.. the shrinking potion rofl. how big does the growing potion make you? :laughks2::bookishfj7::piratewheelgo2:

Just logged onto TEST...i hope it's good!

I'm not understanding why they got rid of The Fishing Mini-Game. :'( :( :/

Well, they probolly removed it because it didn't work, so they must of said to themself "We should remove it so people don't get there hopes up with it", so they just removed it and will put it back in once they fix it.

There is nothing in the release notes about the fishing game. It might not have supposed to have been there. The only games mentioned were the potions and ship rebuilding, both of which seem to work fairly decently. (Crash issues are all I've had to report) Maybe the fishing just isn't ready yet and was put there by mistake.

More likely, while fishing was part of the developers' build it is now intended for release at a later time. i.e. they said to themselves "We can release the fishing game later when people get bored and start asking about a new story chapter." /sarcasm

lol, probably not exactly like that, but from a game producers' standpoint it would be better to spread out new content over a longer time period.

I'm glad that they gave us a way to repair our ships while at sea, even if it's in the form of minigames.

I also like the vile potions, mostly to gross out other players in hopes to scare them away.

Here's puking.

There are items in LOTRO that make you puke, fart, etc. There are a couple that make you instantly drunk then teleport you to a random location...even if you won't survive where it ports you (yer at level 15 and the mobs are level 40). -)

Sven, what potion you use to level up so fast? lol

OK here we go I got the transformation potions :D

So how do you attack when you turn into a creature, like for example: Does it let you use the same attack formations/moves that a regular scorpion/alligator or crab does or? :/

WOH! Ok, Dog, when you're using this potion, can you attack people by biting them or clawing them and stuff? And also, do the other gators and crabs leave you alone? Have you tried steering your ship using one of these? Ah, so many questions!

I also transformed, however I didn't test any of that. The only thing I noticed, emotes and pulling a weapon return you to normal.

Swimming, attacking or anything turns you back into human. You can't do anything, i haven't tried sailing but ik sven will :D

I actually don't like to sail.. but if I get the time I will try ;)

If you use a transformation potion while you sail, you will still turn into a creature. I tried it last night. It's funny how a crab is steering a ship.

Imagine putting it on public, that would be crazy rofl
