My windcatcher is 4 and i'm always fast when sailing. I haven't tested it but seeing as my leadership only works the first time then after that only adds the glow but doesn't charge skills faster in those 10 seconds or so, i wouldn't be surprised if windcatcher has stopped working too. But in SvS i'm always told to take the wheel and sail outta there to repair, so i'm guessing i'm still pretty darn fast hehe.

Leadership. This does absolutely nothing but look pretty. It NEVER has any effect on my skills charging other than make them "pulse" on the screen like it is doing something. If its faster, its EXTREMELY marginal difference in speed (takes me longer to click on the skill... wasting my time).

Leadership always works for me. For example, FULL SAIL takes a minute and a half (or somtehing) to recharge. The nine hash marks around the circle show ten second intervals. If full sail is on the last THREE hash marks (~30 seconds away) and you hit LEADERSHIP, you can then do a full sail. If you don't do your full sail WITHIN the ten seconds that leadership is glowing, it rolls the clock BACK and you have to wait anyhow. FURTHERMORE: Leadership makes your crew's cannons recharge faster. |

Must be something special about your pirate or how you use it. I've tried using it before using skills.. (using skills while its active) Nothing. I've tried using it immediately after i've used a skill. Nothing Does not have any effect for me except a glow. It has never once benefited me. Tell me, how can a skill that stays active for 10 seconds recharge anything? If they'd give me 10 gold for it at the shipwright, id sell it.

I press three to activate FULL SAIL. That pesky war sloop is still on my tail. Normally, I'd have to wait 90 seconds to do another full sail...instead, after only 60 seconds I press 8 (LEADERSHIP) then 33333333333full sail. (OK, about 65 seconds...still, better than 90 seconds.) Pesky war sloop is now back at Rumrunner's, while I am now close to Isla Perdida. Yay, Leadership saved the day.

This is sort of a dead subject and the VETERANS of POTC came to this conclusion months ago .....Wind catcher does not work and quite possibly works in the opposite as it slows you down instead of speeding you up.
The only reason I can come up with is that the game developers for POTC who also play the game almost if not more then we do have made a few little changes in the game to make things more advantageous for their players. Lots of the glitches in the game are not accidental and were put in the game by the very people who created the game. the lowly computer nerds and programmers using windcatcher is a waste of points and prior to privateering wind catcher worked and worked very well it only became non functional shortly after SVS. The reason being? Quite frankly if windcatcher worked then those players who invested points in those skills would be very very very hard to catch and sink. |

it is because of svs... they dont want a pirate with rank 1 windcatcher to not be able to sail away from a rank five.

I read today that Wincatcher has been fixed. Has anyone verified this? I am reluctant to spend another 10,000g to readadjust sailing if this is not true. I do not post much, but read everyday so I look forward to reading your thoughts. Thanks

I have rank two wind catcher and while doing SvS I as running away(for the quest) and some how someone managed to catch up to my war sloop. A war frigate vs a war sloop means that I should have outrun this person but later on this person told me he had rank five wind catcher. Note the fact that I had been using ramming speed and full sail to get away while this person only used full sail.
Of course I had used my mouse to look behind me. How could someone catch up to me so fast? But now seeing this I don't know weather or not wind catcher is useless or not. |

The thing is, there USED to be a mesurable difference with windcatcher. You could SEE other boats getting left in your dust. Not anymore.

Well I never paid attention to it but I don't think there's really a use for it. I have rank two wind catcher and I think my speed is fine. Compared to light sloops i'm slow of course but for traveling time I like it. I use full sail and ramming speed a lot to get to places faster anyways. |
