Kingshead Glitch?

[Bartholomew Foulsteel]

I ran into a charming young lad last night. He was invisible at Kingshead on the parade field. It seemed what he really wanted to do more than anything was taunt me. Apparantly, he seemed to think that it was really special to be able to single handedly take out 6 veterans on the parade field while invisible. I explained to him that I wasn't impressed but I would be if he would un-glitch and show me he can take them on singlehandedly. Funny little guy got all offended and started calling me names. I left but he followed me so I had to switch servers to get away from the fellow. I took a screenshot of the chat, but since I couldn't click on him to send a report in, how would one go about bringing this issue up to Big D?

Personally, I find it pretty sad to see people that need to glitch to get anywhere in the game. I mean really: what's the point?

The key word here is 'need', which noone needs to. Noone 'needs' to play the game at all. 'Need' it get anywhere in the game? This assumption has no fact to it, as most pirates glitching are doing it for fun, and not because they 'need' it to get anywhere in the game, such an assumption would likely be from frustration due to the described event.

'need' isnt really the right word, its a matter of 'want'.

Noone needs to, but they often want to because it can be entertaining to fool around with them. People want to, so they can a. break the monotony of the game. b. settle thier curiosities c. progress easily and unfortunately.. d. cause a ruckus. If your on your 3rd, 4th, 5th pirates... things are a bit monotonous.

Unfortunately some pirates use glitchs in (d) a nefarious unfriendly manner, such as your experience. But honestly, i've ran across more rude and unfriendly pirates playing the game normally than I have any pirate that was using a "glitch".

Agreed.

Though, I will admit it is more annoying to have rep stolen by someone you can't see...

I've only had a few problems at Kings while working on nades - if someone's working the top I will find another server. Others won't.
They'll see that someone's there and glitch anyway, then wait while I get the enemies lured (which, as I'm sure a lot of you know, takes a decent amount of time) and then pop in and staff them.

I also had one issue on Outcast when I was working on Stumps (not glitched, though I did have my second pirate there), and someone came in and started shooting at my target. They then went through a wall, so they could shoot without taking damage. Now, the wall hack I have no problem with, but to glitch and steal enemies from someone who was there first is just rude.
