Congratulations, isnear! Can't wait to see your video! The length of time is very significant when I solo - I am jealous of how much free disk space you must have! Is that over a terabyte of video?
Interesting to hear that you chose to use cannons on Goliath. I was chomping at the bit, waiting to have a broadsides (only) battle with Goliath for months. To each his own...
I have another level 29 pirate that can't make it past the officers using voodoo doll only. Should have voodoo staff today, so I'll be solo-ing it again soon.
Great tip on Open Fire. Many things didn't work once you left helm...broadsides for example. If you fire broadsides and hit ESC, the cannonballs that hit after you hit ESC do no damage (try it in regular sailing.) So it is interesting to hear that OPEN FIRE does not behave the same. Of course, now that OPEN FIRE actually does something, it is good to remember that using it is essential (now.)
I am very surprised to hear that you didn't run out of ammo, even though you wasted some on the inert fortifications. Can't wait to see that video. How significant was the video-delay from the recording software? Which were the hardest scenes because of it?
Side note: Anyone else notice the Black Pearl missing its masts in the Pearl/Goliath cut-scene right before the Goliath battle? I've set my video setting back up to maximum everything, in anticipation of seeing the sky changes...but one side effect is that the Black Pearl does not seem to render quite fast enough, to look right in that cut-scene with the climactic battle music.
