I want to contribute to this thread. Time to get my opinion out there! Beware: Long speech approaching.

I agree with this, Disney fixed it once, and now it's back again. It needs to be fixed once and for all, as players are cheating with it and making trouble. This bug is worse than the going-through-walls bug with the invisible potion.

I use Leadership all the time, and I haven't had this problem.

Yes, this has happened to me before. What is most annoying is that when I kill the enemy, and they drop loot, I can't get to it because it's behind a wall. I once got a skull chest and couldn't get to it, and that was at Tormenta, so who knows what could have been in it.

Aye, mate. That needs to be fixed. But it be just for being unable to see the ship when looking at the ships to be boarded at the dinghy. It isn't one of the bigger problems in the game.

I use this to get to Darkhart, as the way is pretty long. But those bugs are going to be fixed soon, it's pretty clear. As two of the ways to get to Darkhart have been fixed, at some point we'll have to start going the manual way. I can think of a way to get to El Patron's ship and the mines at Raven's Cove, using this bug. I'm not really a huge fan of that bug, because the ship is meant to be hidden away deep in Raven's Cove. Using this bug removes all the mystery.

I haven't seen this before. Do you mean that you cause damage to your own ship?

What would be more realistic is when a ship crashes into another ship, it does damage, like with ramming speed. It would encourage SvS players to stay off each other...

It's better to go through pirates, because running through players is helpful if there is a large crowd where you are. You'd probably be able to push other pirates around as well, like before, and as you stated above, it would probably be an annoying thing to do. I prefer being able to run through pirates. The coin flip emote is just a small sacrifice to make.

That would be fun, and you could direct your cannons at them. It would generate a lot more lag, though, and with all the ships jumping around because of the lag and everything, it really wouldn't help the game. Though it is a good idea, and I believe you were once able to see other players on their ships...

New skills could also be released to be gained after finishing quests for all weapons...

I think the amount of skills is fine. It isn't one of the more wanted updates, and the game is fine with the skills it has.

Yes, the game needs more quests. I think Disney knows this. We'll just have to wait and see.

The Black Pearl Boss Battle was, I think, designed for players in their early level 40s. The battle has been there before the level cap was raised, so it would seem like it was for lower levels. And it is. Disney are gradually releasing enemies that have levels over 50, as you have probably noticed, because they most likely know what we want.

I couldn't agree more.

This also should be required!

The ship types are fine, but I think you should at least be able to pick from a drop-down list of colours and things to make your ship unique. I can't help but feel jealous at those Bounty Hunters...

This will not just make it more fun for basics but also work as a strategy to encourage basics to pay for unlimited because they will be more interested in the game.

I don't think this is needed. When I got to level 14 and finished the Basic part of the Black Pearl quest, I immediately wanted Unlimited. The game is mostly made for the paying members, because this site is mostly a tool to get more money.

This isn't on the top of my list. The idea is promising, but guilds are about the pirates, not the power.

Infamy is hard enough to get as it is, in my opinion. I'm still only on about rank 3, and I PvP almost every day. I wouldn't like it if it became harder to attain.

When you teleport to these servers, you will arrive to French or Spanish Isle depending on which island you were last time.

* Though the full map would be there, There should be some sort of boundaries such as you cannot go further than Padres, Cuba, Rumrunners, etc. The boundaries would completely stop you from moving any further OR the further you go from the isles after passing the boundaries, you slowly loose Hull on yer ship.

*You can only port on your home island and not if you have more than 1000 bounty or only if you sink and are respawned back to your home island.

* Also to Reduce Lag, Remove All NPC ships and Add Big Rocks( basic programming with basic graphics) like there is now in the battle area. There Shouldn't be to many rocks but enough to make it just a little annoying and more Challenging.

*Because Lag should be greatly reduced or even removed in these servers due to no NPCs, other isles, and less pirates, More than 10 ships per side should be allowed to sail OR open the door for a new SvS isle.

A new SvS isle sounds good, but I don't like the sound of separate servers just for SvS. Andaba is quite a popular server for this, and I don't think SvS is big enough to have its own server(s).

*Pirates can get in these servers only by logging in and can get out only by logging out. This is to reduce drama, no teleporting when in battle, and no interfering of friends/guildies when fighting. etc.

I think one or two servers would be fine, and the idea is very good.

The lower levels wouldn't go to those servers unless they know what they're doing. They would log in once, get beaten quite a lot, realise that they are too low level, and log out again. Also, don't underestimate the low levels. I got beaten by a level 20-something once, and I was about level 46 at the time.

I can't agree with the part in bold. I do not see the game as in critical condition. Every game has its bugs. I'm not falling through the ground every time I run somewhere. I'm not dealing no damage to the enemy I'm attacking. I'm not... etc. Sorry for this mini-rant, but the game is no way in critical condition.

That's the end of my long message. I like your ideas, and most of them should be expanded and then hopefully put into the game.
