The Navy Cannon's.. Mini-Game?

[Jamesvsthekraken]

I think the Cannon Defenses Mini-Game is like one of those games when you are at a Theme Park/Amusement Park in the Arcade Section of the park, and it's like the shoot out game. Anyway, I agree with you guys, Disney needs to realize that adults "and" kids play this game ,and they also need to make Pirates Online a more exciting game with things like: exploring "new creepy, dangerous, shrouded islands", and like I always have requested before we "need" the kraken. Today It was really an awful sight, I was at the Father's Day GM Event with GM Ben Bowman, Thatch Roberts, and Old Sooty. It was really fun to see them all finally answer questions about things in the game and about cannons. Until, someone said "How come Disney lied about the kraken?", then everyone wanted to know where the kraken was, and why it was not in the game etc. I, myself asked If we would see sea monsters in the game this summer ?, but the GM's rudely left and avoided the question. The only thing that one of the GM's (Old Sooty) did though was stay for a second and then say "I must be off. Fair Winds". I don't know what happened last year and the year before that with Disney on their end saying stuff about the kraken coming into the game and it did not end up coming. But I seriously, think that the GM's dont care about it and don't want to answer "kraken related questions". All in all, I think that this game that we all play needs to be more action-adventure packed like the movies. I feel like that is failing with more and more mini-games being released. Sure, they are fun but we need "those islands", and other "promises" in the game that have been talked about. This is my review about how the game is doing so far, please don't take it that I am complaining. :

I myself enjoy cannon defense, but the huge flaw I see is not letting us keep the level we gain. The highest wave of ships I've been able to get to now is eleven. And there are, what, eighteen?

I could see cannon defense being used in some quests. Possibly the new fishing, too.

All these minigames could be areas in a new storyline we'll need to do, and the developers want us to have more fun, instead of fighting enemies over and over again.

But who knows, only the developers. I feel sorry for them, because it feels as if all their creativity is going down the drain because some boss and Disney doesn't think it's good enough.

I don't care for the weapons anymore as I said. I am happy with what I've got. I just wish people would quit going for some weapon that clearly isn't going to drop for them out of the blue. What we need are more quests on each island, and new NPC's added to the current ones. How about a Bounty for ships or something. Make things interesting, but get rid of this childs game we know...

Some people and I am one of them like the treasure hunt for different loot and if you do not look you definitely will not find anything. Like the lottery you have to play to win. I also like the idea of things not coming from a quest that everyone does and gets the same items. Though I think that new and varied quests should be added because they add to gameplay. Just as mini games add a different experience. We must remember this is a 10 and up game so it is part child's play. Disney does need to add more for the older crowd and I am sure they will. They are working on it New islands and NPC's are on the horizon, mate.

Where's the flaw in that? I like having the idea of earning back those ammo rights. I think they need to give more banknotes from the ships though.

I just think it stinks that I(as in me alone), will probably never get to the last cannon amo.

My shots are only 57% hit at best, and being able to shoot faster might help.(As in, I'll need to wait for this to hit open before I can own at cannon defense)

It's really challenging, and I like that, along with potions. Both these minigames are going to entertain me for some time before anything major comes out.

Really wish big D would also put some of those bandit flags and colors onto our ships...(I want a black flag with skull and cross bones! Should have been here at day 1!)
