Exploring and competing in PvP with your friends is fun but what if there were sports inside the actual game! It's very simple, just add a mini golf or maybe a basketball item (with physics) and you add a counter item like a goal that would count how many times a ball would pass through it and that's it!! I'm thinking basketball would be like keep away, a few hits on your character and you drop the ball. Press the mouse button to throw it into a reasonably sized goal (that can be placed anywhere) for a point! Build your own court for a custom game! Mini golf would be exactly like Terraria's mini golf except instead of a dirt rod you'd use a golf rod to use physics to hurdle the golf ball as far as you can past obstacles (like water)! Put down some of your thoughts or ideas and maybe with a bit of luck the Devs might consider adding them to the game!!!
That sounds like a great idea! ^_^ Though personnaly I would rather not do golf! How about something like a madeup sport?
I think the meta-games that most players end up coming up with tend to be fun enough as-is. Take spleefing in Minecraft, for example. It's using the games core mechanic to create a sport. It would be fun for the devs to create a sport with custom, in-game items specialized for it, but let's leave that up to them. Then again, what's the suggestion thread for if not bringing things up to the devs they might not have thought of?
@Woodledue You know you bring up a good point. Maybe we should starting thinking about creative metagame huh?
Yeah, we could do Starbound spleefing, for instance. It might be fun to manipulate existing things in-game to create a whole new metagame, I'm sure.
Ok. Get this. Event Horizon Surfing. Grab a board, and hang ten on the surface of a black hole in either races, or just for plain fun. However, you better watch out for space debris getting sucked into the black hole.
That would be super extreme I'm thinking that sports should also improve a certain stat when playing so that if you don't really enjoy battling to improve stats, you could do sports so that you could get improved stats safely.
We could have a totally new game where you try to build to the top of the map (or a designated goal line in the sky) and have a race to see who can build to the top first! The twist is that you have to build your tower only a few blocks away from your opponent and they can blast you to cosmic dust with a gun! Or maybe be The Hunger (mini)Games where you have any number of people in a free for all and you get five minutes to find your own home and fortify it, once those five minutes are up you have to start hunting or be hunted!!
I could see some sports in this game, but it'd be more of a thing for a later update. But in all honesty, it'd be awesome to have some kind of sports to do just to kill some time or mess around with.
Using a dirt rod to play golf in Terraria is an awesome idea. I gotta try that sometime. As for an actual mechanic, I wouldn't mind seeing some kind of sport in the game, but I wouldn't really mind if it's not in the game.
