Weeks of stressful planning to make this CD game happen, and on the weekend we attempt to play it, the CD game crashes us no matter which CD fort we visit, and no matter which server we choose...
CD is the ONLY thing I have been playing the game for to earn some cannon rams to sail with, and use to cannon for friends' ships. I can't play CD, and I don't have a good Ram for anything but tearing down sails SLIGHTLY easier. So what am I even paying for this game for anymore? Talking? Running around killing enemies for weapons I don't need anymore? NO No no... I'll pass on that...
POTCO may have just got on my nerves for the final time.
It is as if they can't fix something without breaking something else.
Reminds me of Ice Age The Meltdown when that squirrel thing is trying to plug the holes in the ice wall that has water pouring out, and every time he plugs one, a new hole opens and water gushes out of THAT hole. Or maybe the wack-a-mole game at that pizza place near my house... Darn those moles.
A big thanks to those of you who attempted to participate, and those of you who officially met me in the game to make the countless attempts we made to try to get the CD game to work without all of us crashing at the load screen.
I think what makes this entire situation so tragic is how much effort was put into it. This was so undeserved it isn't even funny... Maybe it would have been KIND of funny if I didn't make like... a 2 page long thread about a SINGLE stinking CD game setup or something crazy like that..
I'm not overreacting am I? I hope not. I would like to think I have the right to be this annoyed that the only time I have free time which I freed up ONLY to play CD, is now gone because CD decided to stop working... because it felt like it? I can't even express how rediculous it is. I wonder how many other people have planned so hard for a CD game and had it ruined this way? Everything was perfect... The way I met up with you guys... The time zone... How quickly we found an empty CD zone on Padres... We even all new exactly how the game was going to go down! Then... *Flushing Noise*
Anyways I'm going to go calm down a bit. Again, thanks for participating and I apologize if this seemed like an overreaction. For all I know CD could be up and running by tomorrow, but what if it isn't? I might as well get my ranting out NOW so that Pirates Online Staff (by some small chance) may have it catch their eye and realize how EXACTLY they have inconvenienced me as a paying customer, with all the work I put in to this garbage.
I'm glad I was least able to play the "See How Big Of A Thread For CD You Can Make Before You Fail Horribly" game.
Thanks guys... If this doesn't work out this weekend, sorry about making you free up time only to have it not work out... I realize you probably could have done countless other things with the several hours you put aside JUST to help me... Some random guy. Means a lot to me really.
If this does end up working at some point tonight or this weekend, I sincerely thank you for providing me with the game.
Goodbye for now...
