How can ya defeat 19252 enemies in one day?!!!
 
the invincible warlord got 19252 enemies in 1 DAY!:psmiley27:

Fallyn 08-01-2009 01:34 PM

you defeat 19252 enemies by ,well , taking the time to do it. You can get 1100 -1200 enemies per hour at Cuba. So , if you take the time to do it and stay with it, anyone can . And if you had been watching the daily's during the contest , Scorpia inferno had a 25k day as well, and Kate Hexsilver had a 20k day.

Cannonfury 08-01-2009 02:16 PM

By ranking at Cuba for 20 something hours(maybe less) :D



Still, it takes hard work.

Erich Uchiha 08-01-2009 02:21 PM

As a long time friend of Warlord his secret is what everyone else does,

Run around Cuba like you don't care about alligators going extinct, Poor alligators. :D

Sven Osymthe 08-01-2009 03:41 PM

What the others say, just spend the day at cuba... lol

Aaron McEagle 08-01-2009 03:43 PM

Does this " Warlord " glitch?

ex8404 08-01-2009 03:46 PM

Is Cuba better than the Port Royal Graveyard?

And that's still something like 16 enemies a minute for 20 hours!?! He gets the "Patience Award" too.

No, he just puts a lot of time and effort in to it...

It depends. Cuba can get you 18 or so a minute, Port Royal can get you between 16-20 or so.

Andrew 08-01-2009 06:15 PM

Warlord is a quiet one, he usually doesnt talk to anyone, not even by whisper. If he goes off, he goes right to Cuba, and starts ranking all over again.

No he doesnt cheat, I've watched him rank before, he almost does it non-stop, its like its in his blood to rank and be on top. :)

Dr. Zeppers 08-01-2009 06:46 PM

Persistence, and a desire to have your name on a list will do it, its not hard.

I've been on the enemies defeated per day list several times when I first started, usually not even trying. Almost everytime I get my grenades, I end up on the list because I immediately commence to mastering grenades. Same with staff.. killing vets on the KH field for hours. The new Tortuga has what I call the gator farm, like 6 gators that spawn continuously within seconds all reachable by standing in the middle of the room, run to next area over and theres a few more, never run out of gators to shoot.. ever, and never had to run more than a few seconds. Cuba is similar, but you have to run around alot more.

Id much rather have fun playing the game than try to put myself on these lists, which for some is prestigious I guess, to me, it means nothing other than those pirates had enough time on their hands. Im never this bored.

Molly Killspinner 08-02-2009 09:16 AM

I agree Zeepers

I was in a guild that was all about stats. I would see them Do AFK express on a ship with 12 ppl in a crew and they would take turns sailing take turns every three hours. It's easy to do. I was on the 1"-6 spot on daily kills for a long time. It's not hard to do If you got the time to do hey go at it heck i have two mastered pirates working on my third been playing since oct last year.

And yes if you have a big crew on your ship every body gets stats not rep only stats points but if your shooting cannons you get even more it's been proven i all so proved it i sailed for five hours and did not sink one ship and got 100 points on stats lol

I got two many potc accounts lol

2 test accounts

4 open

A pirates Life For ME ARRR:sadmh9:

Sarah 08-02-2009 11:37 AM

The "AFK express" was updated a month or so ago. Now if you're AFK on a ship, you no longer receive credit for the ships sunk by the active crew. I, for one, am glad D fixed that. I thought it was a rather sneaky tactic for getting on the leaderboards.

That update only stopped you from receiving gold (if it even does that), not from receiving credit for ships. If they really fixed it, some guilds wouldn't have as high a ship count (granted, it would still be higher than everyone elses :laughks2:)

Sarah 08-02-2009 03:56 PM

Really? I thought it got rid of both gold and credit for the ship. Guess I'll have to go back and re-read that...

Benjamin Dreadgull 08-02-2009 03:57 PM

Everybody plays the game the way they want to, there is no right or wrong way to play. If guilds want to kill massive amounts of enemies everyday great, if they want to push their fellow mates into interesting places great, play tag, hide and seek, these are all things that we all are doing to pass the time till new content gets here.

For our guild the strongest guild competition brought us closer together, we were all killing skeletons and while doing this mundane task having a great time chatting and joking in guild. Mates that did not really ever talk with each other were. It encouraged teamwork. Pretty sure that was the idea of that contest bringing guilds together and teamwork not how many skeletons you could mow down.

Yes, people still receive credit. I remember seeing the update about that, but I think it mentioned gold (which I believe you still get.. I know i've done it a few times).

Unless they decided not to add this to live, then they probably didn't add it in correctly.


On another note, nice post Ben. To each their own... as long as they don't cause problems for others in the process. And that strongest guild competition did bring guilds closer... even though I didn't rank (due to lvl).. that was the first time you guys saw the Shadow! :laughks2:

Aye to that mate, PnC has made many friends since this contest has started.

This Contest didn't matter about most foes taken down,
it was about teamwork and spending time with other Pirates and guildmates!

The problem with this is that their AFK code is faulty.

I shoot cannons with my mouse. If im at cannon for several minutes, my pirate goes afk, even when I am at the controls moving back and forth and up and down via the mouse (not AFK, just not using K) I also choose cannon ammo by clicking the circles. I dont use a key except shift to start, and esc to finish.

AFK really means Away From Keyboard because quite ironically, a dynasty created by a mouse, ignores the mouse.

Hey it brought me closer with the BBK!!!
I learned never to steal RUM from LIZZY!!! (Bad Idea)
I actually got onto open instead of test and hung out with some pirate friends for once!!!

I thank Big D for this competition!!!

Molly Killspinner 08-03-2009 10:24 AM

Yes you still get stat points With AFK express as long as some one is sailing and not just standing there and they did fix a few things on they ship but you still get Stats points not rep points thats how some of these guilds are so high in daily ship sunk.

That's what my old guild did half of the time.

And thats the reason i left the guild be cause that basicly all they where doing is stats doing that kinda thing bores me.

I can do it but would need a break lol.

How do you defeat Warlord?

Quit your job... get a divorce and don't have any kids...

Bottom line - you have to LOVE POTCO and live there. Not bitter when I say this, just truth. It's simple math. At 1000+ an hour that's still SEVENTEEN BLOODY HOURS of your life EVERY DAY.

wmah 08-03-2009 03:54 PM

On the afk express. I have not been on board one of them myself. What I have seen though on the stats is if all the players on board will get individual credit for the sinks but if they are all in the same guild the guild only gets credit for the actual number of sinks. So the only thing gained is individual stats.

The guild actually does receive credit. One of my guilds that is ranked high in ships does this, but some of the people go AFK. I know another guild that is almost always first in ships, and they do the same.

The ship leaderboard is the total number of ships sunk by the guild members combined. As long as an individual gets credit, the guild does as well, afk or not. If you noticed it not matching up, i'm not really sure, but i've heard some say the over all leaderboard, and the daily are off by a day.

And here I thought all these guilds were actually earning their reputations.

So guilds are inflating their stats doing this just to be on the leaderboards?

How pitiful can pirates get?

They are actually earning their reputations, but not the reputation they think they are.

Why do people think these boards actually mean/prove anything?
If anything the tactics referred to here define it as I said earlier... a waste of time.

Points mean nothing, its all about character.

Sven Osymthe 08-03-2009 05:17 PM

Zep, to each their own. These guilds have earned their reputations. I said "but some of the people go AFK", I did not say all, I did not say how long. One person sails, others shoot. Sailors switch up, people still shoot. Some people go AFK for a break, that is what I was refering to.

The other guild I was talking about that does the same, they do what I mentioned above. People take a break, they go to the ship to help the guilds totals. Theres nothing wrong with that. Mainly because theres no cheating involved, and every guild is given the ability to do so.

The guilds that are high ranked do it to be on the leaderboards, but they also do it because they like seeing their guild name up there. It may seem like a waste of time to some, but people play the game differently. People like to be on the boards, its not pitiful, its just something they like to do.

Dr. Zeppers 08-03-2009 06:14 PM

Resorting to cheap tricks to inflate stats, is wrong.
Human nature perhaps, but wrong, that was my main point.
When I know im going AFK for awhile, I logout. Leaving my afk pirate on board while im not playing to boost my stats is a cheap trick. "Because it works" is a cheap reasoning behind it.
I realize everyones doing it.. just seems pitiful to me to inflate ones stats with basically false numbers.

Might as well use an invincibility glitch from level 1 - 40 leveling your pirate to level 40/mastered. No difference.

Added: These tactics basically belittle the purpose and meaning of the leaderboards.

Basil Dreadflint 08-03-2009 06:26 PM

Zep,

I agree with you, but not everyone else will.

If you check the leaderboards on a daily basis, you used to often see that there would be more than one pirate attached to the same Disney account, who not only were on the leaderboards, but had the exact same number of ships sunk. (Or within just a couple.)

This was the result of one person using two computers and LINKED accounts to log in two pirates at the same time. One would sail, and the other would just be a passenger on the ship. Both would get credit for all the ships sunk.

All they were trying to do was pad the scores. Making the leaderboards pretty much a joke.

And to answer SOS's comment. On DxD, the daily totals are up to date for the previous day for individuals. For guilds, they run a day behind. So Monday's stats for individual pirate's "enemies defeated" are for Sunday, but for guild totals, they are for Saturday.

BigJohn 08-04-2009 11:59 AM

I don't bother with Leaderboards, to me it just means someone has been dedicated to the game and earned their right to brag. Do I wish I had the time to play solidly, speak to fellow guild members, help with quests and sink everything in sight well yes! Its nice that Disney has encouraged the 'get thy name on the leaderboard', but for me another quest to do like black pearl would be better.

Eliza Creststeel 08-04-2009 02:24 PM

On the leaderboard topic, I truly don't expect myself or the ETC to ever hit #1 - but it's the chase that motivates the members to work together for a common cause.

Our own site, I list the Top 5 Killers and Sinkers almost daily and go out of my way to mention those who normally DON'T hit the list but sometimes make extra efforts.

And they enjoy comparing, and any special attention - but I give praise to my guildies who lend aid or come running when help is needed to. You're right - numbers are not the bottom line - but they help some pirates WANT to be here.

As for Eliza, I still have the long term goal of getting her into the Top 100 All-Time for Kills and Sinks - otherwise I'd never play her. A quest like that gives me reason to keep her coming back until something new comes along.

I have a similar goal while waiting for new content, although a much more modest goal, getting my main pirate Jason into the Top 1000 All-Time for Kills and Sinks. I'm getting close, I'm in the Top 1500 or thereabouts right now.

The top of the leaderboards - never for me, I get nowhere near enough online time to even think about that, and I've always come by my kills and sinks the old fashioned way, I've earned them. I'm not going to stoop to AFK'ing on a friend or guildmates ship to pad my stats.

davy redflint 08-04-2009 03:33 PM

as my guild will attest to i use to go for the leader board after mastering all my pirates ....it was fun for a while...but that to got boring....so i havint been playin much.... still waiting on new content....hurry up big-d

I've done that. A few times I logged in with three accounts tabbed over and then either make sure they all had the same number or I'd make them all have a different number sunk (such as 120 - 121 - 122)
But now most of the time I would only use two computers. I'd sail with the left hand on the key board and than on the right I'd use the cannons. I'd sail around doing this and hardly look at the left computer while doing so.

I do have one pirate in the top 100 overall list but lately I have dwindled a good 13 spots down. Before with the tab I would be sailing the ship around at a very slow crawl just sinking ships and I'd do quests on the other or just leveling up on stumps.

Jack Sunskull 08-04-2009 07:04 PM

Unless Disney were to give me something for being on the leader boards, I see no reason to try. I made the boards twice in my 2 years playing, once for hitting 40 and the other for most kills but that was due to being very bored, wife out of town and trying to level my pirate.

To each their own.

Molly Killspinner 08-05-2009 12:36 AM

I can use two accounts on the same computer all you need to do is make another user accounts on your pc and create two user accounts with potc that's how i level up so fast i just do this for the extra rep points lol it may be considered as cheating but i dont really care if it levels me up faster rather then relying on others to help then heck i will do it.

davy redflint
If you have not looked lately there is some new stuff they just added to the game more cargo has been added and a new revive systems has been put into place.Witch i dont like it hate it i would rather go to jail fast they did not change the timer on the groggy at all it's still the same time.


Maria Cannonfury
It's not impossible to get 19252 at cuba i have done it my self for a whole week!!!
For my old guild when we had a contest the contest was t o see who got the most kills in a month and i ended up in sec to one of my firends we both had 20k in kills he only led bye 100 or so.

Dr. Zeppers Resorting to cheap tricks to inflate stats, is wrong
I all so agree Dr. Zeppers it do's not really make you the best really just shows you how much you have done sense you started the guild.Do's not mean your the best like some of the top guilds they my have 500 players but a smaller guild like that have only 50 to 100 can bet them i have seen it done.

Just curious how do you do that, even with the gators on cuba you would have to play for 24hrs straight without stopping for anything? No sleep, no bathroom no leaving the comp at all!

MacIronhawk 08-19-2009 12:35 AM

I agree Crazy, how? I went for four hours, with brakes, defeating enemies in the Port Royal graveyard and only got to 3600.

Ahh... Warlord... He and many others of McRaging including Scorpia Inferno,
Angel Blasthazzard, and Cyrus the Virus whittle away the hours at cuba. I'm in McRaging and they ( Angel does ) almost never talk.

Crazypirate 09-11-2009 12:44 PM

There are some players who use a macro keyboard, mouse, or program set up to play so that they can rank and or level faster and higher than anyone else usually while they are not even in the same room as their computer, which makes it hard for them to respond to chat. I personally dont understand the fun of playing a game your not really playing but to each his own, until Disney decides to crack down on those using macros it will continue to happen and make it hard to recognize those who actually play the game and deserve credit for their acomplishments.

Fallyn 09-11-2009 01:30 PM

Just a reply to Crazypirate . No one from McRaging has ever nor will ever use any type of macro program to get on boards. If someone is on leaderboards from McRaging , it is legit time spent sitting at their computers. And if someone from Mcraging is witnessed doing this , please pm me and it will be dealt with.
Thank you ,
Fallyn

Crazypirate 09-11-2009 02:37 PM

Just to clarify i never said McRaging nor any of its members did those things just that some players want to top the leaderboards or be one of the first to 50 so bad they will cheat in whatever way they can to do so. I personally do not put much value on being able to kill more lvl 1-3 enemies than anyone else but if thats your thing have fun with it.

Robmac7777 09-11-2009 03:21 PM

Aye, it's best just to try and enjoy the game, everybody is different, so their type of joy may be different. I do enjoy sailing, and try for all on board to get rep, gold, or whatever is needed--within reason of course, lol. And if I make the leaderboards, that's awesome. It is still a little quirky though, hopefully all the bugs will be worked out of it in time.

Rob:)

Benjamin Dreadgull 09-11-2009 04:13 PM

The only way to truly stop the macroing, harassing of other players is to have in game GMs . I really wish that Disney would do this, In another game I played, was an in game GM and the powers you had you could take reports off a que of cheating,harrasment,glitches , basically everything that would go wrong in a game.

You also had the ability to kick players and directly report the behaviors to the games paid staff.

The GMs were all player volunteers, very carefully selected through with a test and online interview with an employee of the company. Really cut down on the problems, bugs , glitches and fighting.

Eliza Creststeel 09-11-2009 04:28 PM

Wouldn't mind MORE proactive on PvP and SvS cheaters... not sure I like a GM police force running arbitrarily yanking people out.

Was bad enough when I had a ban dispute over something I said in whisper and was later acquitted of - but if someone misinterprets a public chat?

But, the PvP and SvS glitching was hitting epidemic levels.

Nelly Darkpaine 09-11-2009 05:03 PM

I have a hard time believing that some of these leaderboard people do it the 'real' way. And frankly, as a GM IF they were playing the game at all hours to get these scores - they really IMO need some therapy, or a life. I mean seriously - how healthy would it be to defeat almost 20,000 in ONE day?

Reality check folks - if you are adults playing this much - its either shame on you for not spending time with family, or, get out of the house a bit if you dont have one. If they are kids, shame on their parents for letting them play that much. Otherwise, in my honest opinion - MANY of these leaderboard pirates are using glitches and macros.

Either way - its not impressive. I dont know whats worse... cheating, or not having a life.

Benjamin Dreadgull 09-11-2009 07:29 PM

Just something to keep in mind, there are all kinds of people that play this game with all different situations in life. Some people are home bound due to a variety of physical or mental reasons and the game is therapy for them.

Not excusing the use of outside programs or methods with some people, just cant paint them all with that broad a brush.:pirate2:

They had a similar sort of thing in VMK (virtual magic kingdom) the free Disney online game that is now defunct. They were called community leaders and to be honest they were useless, "toothless" and in some cases worse then the players they policed. What a horrible idea letting some players police other players. You can report players now for cheating, harassing and glitching and its Disney that isn't holding up their end of the deal and booting them. If you want to do something useful insist that Disney does what it says it will instead of adding another layer of bureaucracy to the game.

As far as play type is concerned, to each their own. You pay your monthly dues and you play any way you choose. If others don't like it they can complain to Disney and then lets let the chips fall where they may. If you get the boot, good riddance. If not play on and have fun!

Benjamin Dreadgull 09-11-2009 08:44 PM

The GMs in this game were hardly toothless and were very good at what they did. They had to directly report to a paid employee and were respected in the game. They were on a tight leash and if they did anything out of bounds were immediately axed.

Just because you pay for the game does not mean you don't have to follow the terms and conditions of the game. Its kinda like driving a vehicle, You pay for your drivers license but if you don't follow the rules it gets revoked.

CaptainGreenGene 09-11-2009 08:53 PM

Agreed
 
Agreed.. Let the police(Disney) do their job then..
Don't have players of any sort involved.
