what did the EITC have to say? havent been to the newer GM event yet and i wont get the chance today .

They just did what they did at the last GM events. They showed up as the GM's warned us of the invasions, and then threatened to arrest and capture all of the pirates, including the Marceline Guild. I believe they said as they ran from the pirates, "You all will bow to my Lord!" or something like that, which is most likely referring to Jolly Roger (or Beckett, but still, due to the invasions, most likely Roger.)

there has been word of a merchent coming to port royal.the black guard might be undead though because of the sail with the gm's event that killed Rot from whay ive heard.

I know what Roger be doing, and heres how it will go.

1st Roger's Ship Docks up at the main dock at Port Royal.

2nd He sends 1 out of 7 waves of Undead, each getting bigger.

3rd The Undead try to brake the the barricades till they reach the Governors House.

4th The attack and by the 6th wave JOLLY ROGER Himself comes killing Any pirate in his way, he killed a LEVEL 50 on his was to The Governors House then HE HELPS his Undead brake it and TAKE OVER PORT ROYAL.


Now that be a true story about whats going to happen and there be no lies mates.

I was on the Barila server, and it would have been nice if a GM even showed up! I learned from another pirate on my friends list, that a GM didn't show up on their server either. I know GM events are generally a big waste of time to begin with, but if you say you are going to be on ALL "B" servers... then I don't know, this might sound crazy, but BE on ALL "B" servers!

So, seeing as this was another waste of an event, I want to suggest to the GM's some ideas for future GM events!

1) Ask a Pirate Their Favorite Color Event! (Mines Black & Blue Walter, what's yours?)

2) Coin Flipping Competition! ( My pirate is a coin flipping pro!)

3) And my personal favorite.... AFK Battle Royal! ( I'll take on anyone in the AFK free for all)

Me kids and I waited and waited for the GM's too, but alas no show! I guess I'm glad we were not alone.

I vote we get rid of the roleplay events because not enough players care, and way too many wreck it.

My vote is for more content!

Since it is a role playing event, try twisting your questions to fit within the role playing.

For example:

"I've been hearing some tales in the Faithful Bride that the Kraken has been seen in the Caribbean... Have you heard anything about this?"

"If Jolly roger is coming to take over Port Royal, how will we be prepared and how can we stop him?"

Those are roughly how you want your questions to sound if you want them to be answered. But I think it is really annoying with all the noobs asking, "CAN I JOIN YOUR GUILD????? PLZ????" The GM events are such a mess...

Do understand that a MAJORITY of Pirates players DON'T have test access...

Many of our members were still not aware of the Invasion feature that's coming. In fact, we held our own meeting last night to discuss it and let those who have been on test explain it to the rest who have not.

Many here think that because they are in the know that all others are too. And again - KIDS game... so they do have to treat the pirates a little like kids. Support these guys.

If the GM's morale ain't up, they won't work hard for us and those updates we're begging for.

It was a POTCO "event". I don't believe there is any excuse for a GM not showing up where they are supposed to (Friday second B server) or not showing up at all (Saturday, also second B server), even if it is a lack of morale. The people who are using the Host Game Master avatars are either employees of Disney or interns at Disney. So they are representing and I believe that comes with certain responsibilities. I only support them as much as I see them support players. It is not the job or responsibility of more experienced pirates to cover for for Host GMs or do their job. On the ship battles against the EITC I was left "holding the bag" so to speak, and it was neither pleasant nor fair.

All I see here is another "event" where many, many pirates were unsatisfied with what happened. Hopefully Disney will take a serious look at this and improve the guest experience.

I loved the events, visited every one of them. But true, they didn't show up in front of Rowdy Rooster every time, perhaps too much crowd?
However, the best way to find them is to hop servers and run through the town! I know that on Sunday the GMs were showing people the
barricades around Port Royal instead of flipping coins in front of the bar. The smaller amount of GMs on Sunday was also very understandable,
I don't think the Disney staff is getting anything extra during the weekends, they are holding these events just for us to have fun.

The thing I don't get is, why do people go to these events if they are not interested? :D I mean, you think the event is the "same old boring stuff
as always", and you still go? You like to be bored? Or just want to complain? I saw some rude pirates during the event, running around, pushing
people, yelling "WHEN IS THE KRAKEN COMING yarr arr garr", "YOU GUYS SUCK" etc. Very mature, I wonder why they want to treat us like kids...? :piratetongueor4:
Once again, Role Play Event means exactly what is says, it's still not a Q&A session..

And as for the new content... You know it is coming, why do you complain so much? And Jolly Roger is not new content? :)


As for those who didn't see the GMs during this event should ask their friends about it, pirates are good at spreading rumors, eh? :dancetl6:

Jeanne, you bring up good points. There are always a fair amount of participants at these things whom it seems are just there to stir things up, that has been obvious from the very first event. Which makes it even less understandable why there isn't better staffing for these events - it's not like it is Disney's first time at the rodeo. My experience playing POTCO is that the servers are busiest on the weekends. Always been that way as far as I can tell. I make the presumption that the team running POTCO is aware of these issues and concerns. Perhaps a post on the Grog Blog and/or a mass email from the Marceline Guild explaining what to expect during a role-playing event would be beneficial. Jumping from server to server works, until everyone else also does it. Whatever the solution is, I know something different needs to be done.

im a big fan of Jeanne Stormcutter right now. What she says is right. why do you even bother about these events and complain about them? they are also fun for first timers, so if you dont want dont go! they are definitely coming out with new content , thats for sure. be a bit patient. though i might not have the absolute right to say this since im not like everyone here who are mostly founders or old salts, or the fact that i just joined 6 months after ye guys, i can still say that im very much patient for the updates, as unlike others i don't play for long long hours and thus bore myself of this game.

i still agree that what Sureshot is saying is very much true, that the GMs just dumped the responsibility of managing the pirate crowds on him and others, and also that the fact that GMs not showing up when they have to is rather outrageous. ive had it happen to me too. i came to the crew up day event at 7am ( indian time for me so thats why so early ), and i was waiting there for a GM like everyone else, and them Game masters never arrived.... that was dissappointing
