When you plan a night called, "Guild Help Night", Make sure that there is a fairly even distribution of senior and low level pirates that are gonna participate.

After all is said and done, Tormenta still seems to be the best place to finish leveling nades. Once you get nades to level 21 or so, "a nigh impossible proposition" in it's own right, then the only place to get any real rep is on the urchins and molusks.

Here's something I've found.... for you new guys..... if you need to sail somewhere, and can't or dont want to engage the enemy ships, TP to either the french or spanish islands. (this TP is available to all, even if you dont have TP yet..) then sail out to your destination. The enemy ships will ignore you unless you open fire on them. Just watch out for SvS players from the opposing island. Saavvy ???

Thanks to the last update: Quite often when you teleport to someone elses' location, you end up in the water. This is not a glitch or a bug, it's a 'feature'. When this happens, just teleport to them again (and again, and again) til you get to where you wanted to be.

Then you find out that you picked the wrong name out of your friends list, and you went to the wrong person anyway!

Hex is back! (sort of...)

Hex Eater shot now apparently works the way it was first intended. You shoot a voodoo user with it until they lose all voodoo power. For a few seconds, they will be without voodoo, and then it will gradually rebuild, similar to ours. The time period is supposed to be 15 seconds, but I'm not sure it actually takes that long for their power to start building, but it is enough time to switch to cutlass and whack them a few times.

Whatever... It's not the way it used to be, when it removed all voodoo capabilities, but it is much more useful than it was after the last up(down)grade!

Take a crew full of healers with you if you are going to attack the Boss Stumps.

lol.. the only reason we were there was Jeff knew of a legitimate way to get permission to tp to your AFK sleeping self.

As I said.. the lack of "*Mmmmm's" gave you away. =)

Lesson: There are ways to get where you want to go. It's all in how you Frame your question.

Not giving the details.. want this weapon for future use.

The lag on Ship Vs. Ship is still terrible! Even on a quiet server, with only 3 or 4 ships sailing, ships seem to just jump from place to place, cannon shots only occur aout 3 seconds AFTER you fire them, and Lightning loccks up your screen for a few seconds every time it strikes.

aye u notice that ....think it worse now than before......plus tp for ammo and ending up under the island.

I think we're all just too quick on the uptake for the game. All firing at the same time and rapidly... heh

There are a lot of quests that have overlapping items, i.e., Jewelry, clothing and Tat quests for Tortuga all require you to sink ships. If you take all of these quests at the same time, you can get them done faster. Because, sinking one ship may satisfy a requirement for 2 or even 3 of the quests. The negative side of this is that you won't earn near as much rep than if you performed each quest one at a time.

Even level 38's can go to jail if they don't pay attention!

Just spent almost an hour reading these. This should be required reading for all Noobs!!!!

I had a brand new VIl the other night. It was actually a quite good one. Put it out in Guild chat, and then forgot to post it here.
Now I don't remember it!
So, today's VIL is: When you have a VIL, post it before you forget it!

VIL: In SvS on a crazy-A server, turn crew matching off then back on, at least once every 15 minutes.

Hahahaha, I think the VIL was... You can press the " ~ " key to check and see how active SVS is on your server, even if you are not on an SVS island.


The other day, Charles asked us to check our servers to see how busy SVS was. And we were all like.... Umm how do you do that??? ... now we know.
