POtCO "Rocking Our Roos" Pirates Guild

[threeboysmom]

I am up for boss! Works for me.

However did your mommy get further along than you when she started way after you Pinky? LOL

By the way, I am on small worlds right now with none other than Rush!!!!!

Hush it, Cruise face! I'm very methodical :dance3:

Aww... I'm jealous. Rush! Where has he been? Did you give him grief about going AWOL on us Roo Rockers???

[bevgray]

Doctor stuff is getting a bit nasty so I'm not going to be able to help our Lady. Sorry guys, but I may not be on very often for the next few weeks until we get this medical stuff sorted out.

I'll log on when I can.

No problem. My Pirate Doll has maxed out Heal and Cure! :goodvibes

[threeboysmom]

Yay! Ship Privateering is out!!

Cruise and I went out on the French side for a while - didn't do so well, LOL. :rotfl2: Anyways, I saw that you can repair your own ship (after about 4-5 sinkings) :rotfl2: but we're not getting the green circles in order to repair. We see the holes.... run over them and around them... but no green circle.

Anyone else encountering this? Based on the other ships' good health and our own ship sinking a lot, it seems we're the only one having this problem?

Are we possibly missing something that we need to do first?

[Iris]

i still think there are a great deal of bugs with the update. I went back out and when I finally was able to repair my ship, it was fully repaired. When you and I went out together and i clicked on the green circle, it stopped short of repairing the entire ship.

I am sure there will be more bugs as the day wears on.

[threeboysmom]

For kicks, I went back and began re-reading this thread. Got all the way up to page 15 and couldn't take it anymore. Wow, Cruise, were we lame or WHAT?! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

I swear, we have to be the fruitiest pirates ever to land in the Caribbean :dance3:

ETA: Since I'm now level 30, I have my very own "easy grabber" in game! Woot!

[threeboysmom]

GUILD EVENT - 8 pm EST Tonight!

Don't forget, we'll be getting together as a guild tonight to help my Mom through her Boss Battle (gee, guess I'd better call her today and see if she's even around, LOL!!)

Afterwards, we can either head to Kingshead with Matty's little secret ;) or we can crew up and engage in some French fighting.

J'espère que vous tous pouvez le faire! Voir-vous ce soir!

There is an entire discussion about the kingshead "bug" on the pirate fan forum. Although rather complicated, it is well worth doing.

Fruity? Speak for yourself---I just dance to my own drummer:rotfl2: :rotfl2:

This morning I finally had a chance to do a decent SvS battle without all the lag that you get later in the day. A crew is really a must if you don't want to sink over and over again and a War Frigate is the ship of choice.

I broke down and purchase a war frigate: The Savage Queen

My crew and I did not sink once!!! I had two crew members working the front cannons with lightning, fire and fury.

All I need now is a War Sloop and I will have the complete set of War Ships.

Yeah, it's complicated all right, LOL! Matty demonstrated it to me the other night. I think I need another demonstration. :teeth:

Fruity?? Ah yup! ::yes::

What happened to clothes shopping on the beautiful island of Padres? You're no fun :lmao:

ETA: Think your location ought to change to "Last seen at the Boatwright buying every boat I can get my hands on!"

A girl can never have enough ships??? That just DOESN'T sound right to me, Cruise! :confused:

Clothes, yes! Shoes, yes! Chocolate, yes! SHIPS?????

[threeboysmom]

Some things I learned about this Ship Privateering from the pirate forum...


Repairing at Sea:

You can only repair when NO ONE is at the helm! Anyone can repair as long as no one is sailing.

Repair Spots - on every ship there will be 3 repair spots. One in the back, One toward the left, and the last toward the right. On the ship HUD you will see a picture of a triangle to the left with 3 green bars each bar corresponds to a repair spot on the ship. The bar behind the triangle (also the smallest bar) is the Back repair spot, the bar on the right is the right repair spot, and the one on the left is the left repair spot.

Now to choose which to repair you want to repair the one with the least health so if you right side is gone completely you want to repair the right side repairing the left or back would be pointless.

To repair just go to the piles of wood, like i explained earlier there is one on the left one on the right and one in the back, and press SHIFT you guy will pull out a hammer and start banging on the wood depending on how much damage depends on how long it will take to repair.

If you are repairing and someone takes the wheel then you will stop repairing.


Inflicting Damage:

You may notice that using a strong cannon will only deal a small amount of damage this is because of Ship PvP's Inner/Outer hull.

The Outer hull is strong hitting it with cannons will do little damage however this hull is a protective layer or "Shield" and once down is when you hit the hardest

The Inner hull is the weak point once you brake the outer hull sinking the ship is easy just aim for the broken areas. If you hit the inner hull your cannons will do Maximum Damage to the ship.

Do not worry if your strongest cannons do little damage to the opposing ship this is most likely because you are hitting the outer hull as soon as you break through though you cannons will do maximum damage

Ah yes, that would have been the EASIER way to do things, lol!

But I went through and picked out the important stuff and saved everyone some work ;)

[Iris]

I'm telling ya, I look incredibly tired after I have repaired that ship. It looks like we are all pirate slaves doing the most difficult labor of the ship.

I just get exhausted watching myself repair.....stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke......

Go grab another bon bon, dear. I know it's a "tough day" out there on the high seas :goodvibes

Think I'm going to put my feet up and watch an aerobics video now :dance3:

[threeboysmom]

Woot! We got my mom through Boss Battle tonight! Our very first Roo Rocker to completely finish the Black Pearl quest! :hug:

Thanks to ShadowCat for her awesome steering abilities (better than mine... "you're going the wrong way, Pink!") :dance3:

And a big thanks to my guild members and their furious cannon skills - Petez, Cruise, Matty, and Jewel!

Love you guys! :grouphug:

[tigressjewel]

:cool1: That was so much fun!! So was the privateering afterwards. pirate:

[threeboysmom]

Wow! Everybody is so quiet lately! Stop it! I can't stand it! You're all either eating bon-bons or trying to find the looniest red & purple outfit you can come up with :teeth:

Anyone up for some privateering tomorrow night? Maybe if we work together, we can pass these stinking tasks easier. :woohoo:

Never did I realize how INSANE it is to sink a stupid LIGHT SLOOP until last night! Oh my gosh, this one ship had over a grand in gold and 25 sinkings in a row! How the heck? Oh, did I mention it was a LIGHT SLOOP?????

And do you think Petez and I could take her out even though we were on a stinking FRIGATE and a WAR SLOOP for crying out loud?!!! Talk about wanting to chuck your laptop clear across the room! Grrr.... pirate:

[tinkabellspirate]

Yeah seems the boards went to dreamland. and for pirateering oh ya!! its like a different game all together now. and for the light sloops, one word. {Shrapnel} pirate:

[bevgray]

Ahoy all, can't promise but I'll try to be there tomorrow. Just depends on how I feel. It's pretty up and down right now. Let me know what time and I'll try to be there even for a short time. Miss you'all so much.

[KrazyPete]

Aww Jade, we miss you too! Hurry back! :hug:

I'm totally down for some privateering tonight. I can't wait to see you all there! pirate:

[threeboysmom]

Privateering it is then!

I'm driving! :drive:

[threeboysmom]

Wow! We TOTALLY rocked last night in privateering!! Very impressive - we didn't sink once! How many sinkings did we get in a row? I know I managed to get all 50,000 in ship damage points in just one trip! :thumbsup2

And....

A big warm welcome to our newest Roo Rocker - Jeanne Fireskull (Jeaniegirl on DIS)!!

Welcome to the guild, it will be nice to meet you. :darth: :yoda: :ewok: :chewy:

[threeboysmom]

There's another female looking to join our guild - Eeyore. Will anyone from our guild be available tonight to meet with her in game and send her a guild invite?

My schedule tonight is up in the air so can't commit to a time or even if I'll be signing in at all.

[tigressjewel]

Am I allowed to send invites? I should be around tonight :-) Just need a time.

[threeboysmom]

You know.... with all these visits to the French island, I'm starting to develop a thing for that Porc guy :dance3:

I think she says she gets on around 9EST in the evenings. Don't know what her pirate name is, but she posts on the other thread - Adults that play POTCO or smething like that (I hate linking bc I have to open up 2 windows, lol)

Anyways, I don't think I ever made you an officer, so let me sign in real quick to do that. Only officers can send out invites.

Hi Guys Thanks for welcoming me to the Guild I am really looking forward to playing with you all. We have just gotten a bit of sad news here.

Don't want you to think I Roos and ran! I'll sign in when I get a chance or when things calm down a bit here.

Thanks again

Hey friends, is there anybody that can help me finish my grenade quest? I am looking for all the stuff at Pt Royal. I can't do it while I am in the glitch bc I have to drop my weapon.So I will need back up while I search crates etc. Let me know if you are able to help me. See ya all soon, princess:

[tinkabellspirate]

Ahoy! Ive been on KH leveling nades all morning just let me know which server and I'll slice and dice while you search.

[CAJUNWDWFAN]

ARG!!! I'm back on basic access! My 30 day trial code is over. :( All my quests are locked! I guess I'm back to leveling up my weapons for now.

[jeaniegirl]

Ok, well I managed to get through KH and searched all the barrels and crates:woohoo: .Now I have to find tar at a navy fort. Can you say ARGpirate: Seriously, they should just give us the goods since we have already worked to get this far.

[jeaniegirl]

Has anybody visited Scary Mary on Perdida? I can not find the place to dig up the diamond. I have run all over that dang jungle and only found 1 place to dig and there was nothing there. Any clues as to where I can dig? This is where all the terror wasps are. Also, does anybody else get creeped out by Scary Mary? I really think we should put in for an extreme make-over for her:cool1:

[KrazyPete]

That one was a pain to find. Carver gave the location away in a recent news posting on PiratesOnline.com.

"I also heard a crew of Pirates is looking for a diamond in the Queen's Nest. The "Queen's Nest" can be found on Isla Perdida and there be two treasure chests buried in this jungle, but I know the location you truly need to complete your Quest. Alas, there not be many landmarks in the jungle, to best describe the location, I'd say look aside the jungle's river and between two large rocks, there you'll find an open area surrounded by trees - the area is guarded by giant wasp nests (also check the nests). It be a challenge, but the diamond be well worth your effort."

This thread on PiratesOnlineForums.com (http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1796) will give you a more detailed description of where to find it with screenshots. I think most of us have passed that task so don't be shy about asking a guild member in the game to show it to you if you see one of us on. :thumbsup2

I found it, thanks so much for your help.:banana: :worship:

She reminds me of someone..... I tend to call her Scary Cruise.he when I'm visiting over in Perdida.... hmm, wonder why?

--Throws hands up in air and mutters to herself--
"I must level up..... at 6:00 in the morning.... I must level up..... all hours of the day..... I must level up......and stay ahead of Matty...."

Sound familiar?

SCARY! ;)


I think most of us have passed that task so don't be shy about asking a guild member in the game to show it to you if you see one of us on. :thumbsup2

Haha, it might be better to ask those guild members with better memories... :rolleyes1 I can't for the life of me show anyone a dig spot on Perdida even though I've dug there a couple of times now....


REMINDER!

Tonight is a guild event at 8 pm EST. Save those privateering tasks! Depending on numbers, we may split into 2 teams at some point and have a little friendly competition with one side being French and the other Spanish.

Unfortunately, I'm not quite sure I can make it to my own event tonight :( If I can't, I'll be thinking of you all. :hug:

(Perhaps if Petez were to don his pink silkies, I could be persuaded otherwise) ;)

In the meantime I have resorted to bringing my home computer here at the office as it is the only one that has the same microsoft office programs that I use at work. A good temporary solution, at least I can still do all my work and not get too behind on my reports.

Oh yes, did I mention it is my home "GAMING" computer?:thumbsup2

Lady, Please forgive me for sinking you:woohoo: atleast we know we can swim(and sink):grouphug: pirate:

[threeboysmom]

I SO LOVE MY GUILD!! :grouphug:

LOL! That kid!! GRRRRRRRRR!! I haven't wanted to throttle someone through my monitor since... wow....VMK!!! :rotfl2:

The RIGHT story went like this... I was on Outcast by myself leveling up by killing stumps when this kid shows up. OK, not a problem. Islands are public and people have been coming and going all afternoon. Well, a stump appears and I shoot as normal.... he gets mad and says "I want to attack alone!" EXCUSE ME?? I told him, I was here FIRST and had the right to continue leveling up. He says no, he wants to level up ALONE. Yeah right! It then became an all-out war between us - every stump he shot at, I made sure I was right beside him shooting too. Yeah, I know I should have turned the other cheek and found another island, but wow, he had some nerve, and quite honestly, it became great fun to irritate the heck out of him and hearing him yell at me to stop and calling me all sorts of names. :goodvibes:

Some of my favorite names he called me were Little Miss Pink Brat :rotfl2: and Miss 2008 Drama Queen :lmao: (oh gosh, I was so laughing at that one, I'm sure Matty would have been agreeing if he were there...sigh)

Finally, I had it with him and called in the troops! Sent a call for help to my lovely and oh-so-talented guild members who were there in less than a minute. Girl Power!

Thanks, girls! You're the best!

OK, now back to acting like adults again... nah.... :angel: :angel: :angel:

I wish they would hurry up with the "more details to come." It would be a lot easier to plan something if we knew a little more about what we were doing. I don't think I have anything major going on this weekend so count me in! :thumbsup2

Prizes: The Top 100 Unlimited Access Members will win a Limited Edition, numbered and bound "Privateer's License"* and an Official Pirates of the Caribbean Online baseball hat.

I'm still not clear on how this is scored. Is the score cummulative for the entire weekend or does it reset every time you dock (like the in-game scoreboard does)? Either way, we need to know what your availability is during the contest time this weekend so we can get together.

Sounds like ship sinking is all the biggest part of the score.pirate:

[KrazyPete]

Sounds like ship sinking is all the biggest part of the score.pirate:

But my question is, what constitutes the top 100 scores for the purpose of this contest?

When you dock, your score is reset. So do they have a way of tracking your total score for the weekend or are they simply going to look at who racked up the most kills on a single trip over the course of the weekend? I think it's a little odd that Ship Battle is usually a team sort of game. So if the ship has a dozen kills and big bounty when a player joins it how is their score recorded?

I think these things probably should effect your strategy.

[threeboysmom]

Yes, I am very unclear on this too. Perhaps they haven't really thought their way through this yet? :confused3

I would *think* it's based on the number of sinkings in ONE trip (whether you dock or sink); otherwise, how can it be fair if someone is available to play all 3 days, 8-10 hours a day, compared to someone that perhaps only has 2 hours available on just Saturday, for example.

Is this "top score" based on an individual's performance or total crew performance? Meaning, could someone potentially just be afk on someone's ship and do absolutely nothing but yet win a prize? Not that *I* would even think of doing that... :dance3: I would hope that's not the case. I would think to be fair, once again, it would need to be on an individual performance, not on a crew performance...

MORE INFO PLEASE, DISNEY!!

And by the way, to answer your question, YES, I'll be here! My weekend is pretty clear, except for a few errands to run here and there, and of course church services on Sunday... but other than that... I'll be privateering! pirate:

Who else?

Oh no! not another Disney quest marathon.:eek:
And if you all need an extra gunner, I maybe sailing alone again..:confused:

[Iris]

I think since it is the Top 100, it is going to be based on a team performance and yes, they do have ways to track who is where and when. This game is constantly being monitored but we don't see it out in the open. The only clues to moderation are the occasional individuals who have a temporary ban for giving out too much personal information such as a phone number, and yes it has happened.

As for this event-if you have a full ship, make sure that some jump back to land and reload with ammo while others are still aboard to have a constant battle going on. When somebody gets low on lightning, they should go back for ammo while others can continue shooting and sinking.

Don't think I will be on but good luck to all.

PS-you can use my war frigate if you want.

[threeboysmom]

As an aside.... Matty and Cruise, I know you're holding onto that "dig up a key on Tormenta" task thinking it's the last task before the Boss Battle. It's not. I've dug up the key, ran back to Bowdash, ran back to John Smith, then over to Gibbs. I'm now on marooning/capturing someone... have a feeling I'll run back to Gibbs when that is complete and voila! I will be ready to boss the battle, heh ;)

Wish I could play too but still dealing with doctors and very limited on what I can and can't do on the computer. I haven't deserted you, gang, but somehow the game system of wizards works better for me just now from a mechanical aspect (less demanding on my hands which are where the trouble is centered) than pirates. Have fun though and I'll be rooting on the dry docks for you'all.

Does anybody want to start earlier? I can bring on the 1 man guildie a.k.a. my husband and he can join us.Not sure what lvl noteriety he is,but he thinks he is lvl 100 or something lame like that.:rotfl2: If anybody wants to start earlier that would be great for us.

FUN! But frustrating also!

Have I mentioned how much I hate light sloops in privateering? :)

There was one in particular that sank us. OK, as soon as we respawned, I set out to get her (after all, a light sloop can ONLY carry 3 people... how hard can it be to sink it???) She sank us again... Respawn.... go after it.... sink again.... GRRRRR!!! Respawn.... go after it..... sink again! OK, at this point, I WANT THAT SLOOP IN A VERY BAD WAY!! I don't even care anymore about the stinking contest. Nope, could never get it, no matter how many times we tried. So I guess the whole privateering competition turned into a very personal competition between just the Roos (or perhaps one Roo in particular ;) ) and that stinking stupid sloop. Ah, if only I could have had the satisfaction of just sinking it one time...:confused:

Needless to say, we are so out of the contest, LOL! :dance3:

Finally have a diagnosis after a tough month and a half. Severe Rhumatoid Arthritis flareup complicated by severe osteoarthritis. I knew about the osteo but the RA is totally new. The doctor has ordered a month off of work to try to get this flareup under control. If the medication helps, I should be able to play again in a week or two. Bad news but better than it could have been with some of the things she suspected.

I'll be out of commission for about a week. Will miss you all. I leave tonight to bring my son out to college (cry cry). This week has been an emotional one - I've been crying over everything, lol.

New Quests Added!August 27 2008 Outfit Your Pirate in Style

This month marks the introduction of three new Quests that will give Unlimited Access Pirates a chance to suit up in some prime Pirate gear.

Stop by the tailor shop on Port Royal and start the Pirate's Life Quest -- you could earn a five-piece outfit that will cover your Pirate from head to toe. This outfit includes a red and white polka-dot bandana, yellow shirt, short buckle boots, belt, and patched pantaloons. What more could you ask for? How about a six-piece outfit? You'll definitely stand out from the crowd in this unique outfit that's picked up after completing the Clothing for a Pirate Quest. Looking to imitate an infamous Pirate? Try Captain Barbossa's wears on for size. For advanced Pirates, Adoria's Family Quest will give you a chance to earn Barbossa's effects, including his famous feathered hat.

You are allowed some tears, Pink, so don't let the mateys tease you. Hope the ordeal isn't too bad. Don't worry about losing a week either. I'm so far behind now, I'll never catch up but will have to be the deck hand scrubber from now on while all you master captains steer your ships so proudly. Hope to be sailing again soon, gang. Have a great holiday weekend.

[Iris]

Aww Pink, I feel your pain.

My girl has been at college since August 17th and trust me it does get better. She is loving IUPUI and she is loving Indy! Her classes are difficult and move at a fast pace but since they only meet once or twice a week, she has plenty of time to prepare for the next class. She has met a lot of people and has explored Indy quite a bit during down times. Her favorite class is Scuba - they did a swimming test last night and got all their equipment. All and in all it has been a great experience for her so far. I guess that is all we want for our kids.

Jade, I miss you. I will be in Indy a few weeks from now. I need to give you a jingle (i need some digits). I hope you feel better and hang in there.

I have gotten a bit behind myself with helping Michelle move out and my father has been ill so I am right there with you.

However, I did pass Boss Battle with Matty and Jewel as my crew. I did attempt SEVERAL solo attempts and Matty and I did a few together but we always came up a tad short right at the end. Jewel put us over the top and we survived and conquered Goliath. I must say that is my favorite thing so far and they should really let us do it over and over again just for fun. I loved that we did it with only three people, it sure made for less lag!


My work computer is STILL out of commission so my time is limited for a while longer. I can only hope it can be saved but I am adjusting. If you ever contemplated purchasing a portable hard drive to back up your computer, I can tell you that it has been a life saver for me. That and the fact that I somehow was organized enough to save all of my installation disks for the various programs I use. I would be lost with out.

That timing was perfect for me that day. Its the only thing that went right for me. You ever have one of those days when you continually take a step forward only to be pushed two steps back? Thats the day I was having, and decided.. heck with it, I need pirate time! Best decision I had made all day long. Don't worry, I still have boss battle to do, and we have other roos who do too, so plenty of chances to play around with it.

[KrazyPete]

Wow, it's rare that I sign into pirates I don't see one single Roo already signed in. What? You people are passing your boss battles and quitting on me? :sad1:

I'm getting ready for a hurricane. I had to go out and buy food and supplies tonight. Tomorrow I'm going help my dad board up his house and my grandfather's house. Then I need to fill up my truck with gas and start boarding up my house saturday.

Is anyone on pirates right now? I could use a friend. I finally got my grenades but haven't a clue as how to use them :confused:

Has anyone finished any of the new clothing quests? I'd love to see some screen caps of the new outfits if you have them. :thumbsup2

Aww man! I just signed out. Truth is, I've been AFK for a good part of the evening anyway. I can tell you that as of about 5 minutes ago there weren't any Roos on.

[Cardinal]

I'm going to use the 30 day pass I got from VMK on Pirates soon, and I want to know if anyone's on or if the DIS peeps are still active in this game.

[Iris]

The Rocking our Roos Guild is alive and well! Most of us are moving into Boss Battle, have completed it or are almost there. There is at least one or two of us on at any given time.

[Cardinal]

Cool. I would like to meet some of you and leech off of your succe-

What? I didn't say anything.

[whs_singingrose]

has anyone done the tatoo quests on Port Royal?

I'm having an issue find Darby Drydocks log book from a storage container.

I did it soon after the quest was released. It does not seem to matter what storage container (dig spot?) you use in the place mentioned, but you may have to try it multiple times before it works. I can not remember if it tells you that it did not find the item, but if it does that means just to keep trying. If you don't want to wait for the dig spot to recycle into usefulness, there are at least 3 dig spots in every area mentioned.

I just wanted to let you all know that I survived the Hurricane. We actually did very well, only minor tree damage and leaves all over. I was so lucky to not loose power. About half the houses in the area are without power.

[threeboysmom]

Ah, well I'm back from Wisconsin after depositing my son off at college. All I can say was, wow, that was HARD! I thought I could be strong and hold myself together. Ha! Who was I fooling? :)

BUT... I have three new CLOTHING quests to look forward to on Pirates! Woot! That sure cheers me up! :rotfl2:

Sorry, Cruise, for not meeting up with you. :( My STUPID cell died on me on our trip back (and I had no charger). Unfortunately, your number was saved on my cell... I wouldn't have been good company anyways... I cried through Wisconsin... through Illinois... through Indiana... through Ohio.... I cried myself through hundreds of miles of corn fields! Holy cow! CORN everywhere as far as the eye could see!

Funny... on our way out, everytime we'd go over the littlest of hills out west, my son would cry out "MOUNTAIN!!!" OK, so you had to be there :rotfl2:

Pic of my very handsome son ;) and his very proud mom :teeth: I have this set as my wallpaper now. I want to cry again everytime I start up my computer. I'm a glutton for punishment :teeth:

I was just on pirates working on a quest. I need to sink a skeleton ship...
Skellies can be tough for a single person, but they are doable if you know the tricks.

First of all Phantoms are the least powerful and they have a trait that makes them easier to sink than some of the other skellies. This trait is that once you hit them they will sail straight toward you until they get within broadside range. There are 2 ways to take them down with the least threat (of course this works best if you have a better ship than a light sloop and particularly well if you have lightning cannon shot).

1) Find a Phantom that sails near an island. There is usually one just off Port Royal if you sail to the right after launching there. Get close enough to the island so that you can dock immediately if need be. Turn your ship broadside, release the helm, and take a cannon. Hit the Phantom's SAILS at the furthest away you can. As it comes toward you keep hitting its SAILS. As you take down its sails it will slow down and give you more time to fire on it before it gets to close. Once you take down its sails it can not move and will be a sitting target. If it gets within broadside range QUICKLY release the cannon, take the helm, hit it with one broadside. and then dock. Once you dock launch again quickly and you should find it in a weaken state ready to take on again. You also can try the tip in the second way below instead of docking but this takes a little more sailing ability.

2) The trait that Phantoms always comes straight toward you makes this second way possible (even though more difficult) and a bit more rewarding (to me at least). You have to start by finding a Phantom in an area that does not have a lot of other enemy ships. You can either start by hitting it with cannons again to draw it toward you or approach its front quickly using (Full Sail" or "Ramming Speed". Once it is within broadside range, hit it with a broadside and then sail away from its front. It will follow you but you should be able to out run it. Once you get outside broadside range, turn your boat broadside to its front, fire broadsides on it, run to outside broadside range, and repeat.

If all you have is a sloop (of any kind, but easiest with the smaller ones) there is another way that is more difficult to take down any enemy galleon or frigate. That is to get as close as you can to its back and continue hitting it with broadsides. Getting close to its back can be difficult at times, but usually using "Full Sail" or "Ramming Speed" works well when coming from the back or sometimes passing close by a ship going the opposite direction. Then all you have to do is hit the back with a broadside, sail to put your ship in position for your other broadsides, and keep repeating. If you want to try this I would suggest practicing with Bulwarks, Panthers, or Corvettes before going after anything else.

Or..... you could just follow my method which is a whole lot simpler than that explanation! Three easy steps:

1) Find Corianders Toy in game
2) Jump aboard his ship
3) Chat while he shoots

Yay! A skellie! :banana:

Well with one crewmember aboard (yes, even Pink;) ) and a frigate (of any kind) it is much easier. Find a Phantom in a relatively empty area. Have the crew member man a front cannon. Get within cannon shot range of the skelly and the crewmember starts hitting the skellies sails. As the skelly gets closer just use the down arrow key to back away from it. Once the skellies sails are down you can turn your broadside to the skelly and have your way with it.

I was always a straight A student, but chemistry.... let's just say I didn't get anywhere near an A :teeth: What's even worse was the fact that my father was a chemist, LOL! He was not too happy with his daughter back in those days.

Good luck in that class!

This weekend, POTCO is having a "Talk Like a Pirate, Live Like a King" Event held on both Saturday and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. PT. This is your chance to earn double gold for that ship you've been saving up for!

Should we plan a plunderin' mission?

Also, on a side note.... it is time for another round of Survivor Fantasy League!!! Would love to see more Roo Rockers join with us. Come on, I know you all watch Survivor ;) Looks like a great season!

Here is the thread to sign up... Survivor: Gabon Fantasy (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1946154)

Double gold? >_< how about double rep again? LOL that was great! And I missed the FD Quest

[threeboysmom]

Shark and I have been at the Boss Battle for awhile now. Neither one of us wants to pass. We are perfecting the art, LOL! We practice together or solo trying to figure out the perfect strategy for each stage of the game. We now have the first 3 bridges worked out - not sure we can improve anymore on what we've fine tuned so far. Last night we were finally able to get to Goliath with a good amount of health still left. I didn't dare fire a single shot as we're still not ready to pass yet... We're not out to the battle the boss - we want to BOSS that battle!! :dance3:

Here's our health after completing the 3rd bridge last night. Our best evah!

Way to go guys!!! I helped a few friends do a boss battle yesterday.Although I have no idea how we managed it bc there was next to no life left,we defeated it. I don't think I was much help,but it was fun to do.:yay:

[threeboysmom]

I just bought a War Frigate yesterday! Wow, never thought I'd blow my money on that.... but I ended up maxing out my gold, so HAD to spend it on something!! Now I'm poor again...

Good thing DOUBLE GOLD is back this Saturday!

Anyone up for meeting right at 3 p.m. EST to sail for the three hours of the event? Actually, we should plan to meet at 2:45 p.m. so we have time to get organized, crew up, and sail to get our flagship.... then once the event officially starts, we are ready to start shooting those Dreadnaughts, Death Omens, Juggernauts, Black Harbingers.... :lovestruc :lovestruc :lovestruc

[Cardinal]

I would like to sail with you guys. Is there a way I can meet up with any of you?

[threeboysmom]

I'm guessing we'll probably meet at the large dock on Port Royal at 2:45 p.m. EST on Saturday.

I'll try to get on POTCO at 2:30 so I can post the ocean server in plenty of time for everyone.

AYE YE SCURVY DOG! (hehe, probably the only time I can call you a dog and get away with it) ;)

I posted my notes of today's event over on the Elite DIS 2 thread...

[threeboysmom]

OK, here's the plan for today's Double Gold event.

Anyone who is interested in joining, please meet at the large dock on Port Royal using the Kokojillo ocean server (I just like that name...) at 2:45 p.m. EST.

We will crew up and get each other on friend's lists at that time. I will be in charge of the crewing.

I nominate Bloodthirsty Shark to be the Captain since he has a War Galleon which holds the most booty.

We'll head out and get a flagship then wait until the event officially begins before sinking ships. We are ONLY going after the big ships. Please hold fire until we are out into deep water.

Once the cargo is full, we will dock. We want to get back out to sea as fast as we can to make full use of the double gold event, so here is the procedure for docking.

- Log out/log in (if you're doing Bartholomew's quests for extra gold)
- Drop off old quests to Bart/collect gold and pick up new quests
- Restock ammo!

As soon as Shark is done, he will seek out a quiet server (if needed) and launch his boat (preferably from Padres). Join him as quickly as you can for we won't be waiting until everyone is on board before we start sinking ships again (after getting another flag). If you need to go AFK, try to do it while on the boat rather than on land so you can still participate in the booty collecting.

I will crew everyone again once we're back on the boat each run.

Sound good?

I'm signing in now... Hope to see you!

[threeboysmom]

Well, looks like it's me and Mean Queen.... Since it's 3:00, we're going to set sail now to take advantage of the event.

[threeboysmom]

Jade? I'm trying to talk to you in game... via local... via crew.... via whisper...

You're not responding to me. Can you not hear my chat at all?

ETA: Sorry Jade. It's pretty apparent you're not hearing a word I'm saying to you. :( Either that or you seriously don't like me! Nah :rotfl2:

[threeboysmom]

OH MY GOSH!!

Ok, blame lame-oh Pink for this one.

I got the time of the event WRONG! It's 3-6 pm Pacific time which translates into 6-9 p.m. EST!

Grrrrr!!!!

So.... anyone up for meeting at 5:45 p.m. tonight? Same place... different time... :blush: :blush:

:dance3:

Docking now... yeah... that was just a practice run.... yeah, that's it....

[threeboysmom]

Jade... to answer your question....

YES! We can all hear YOU just fine. You cannot hear any of us! Please, we are not being rude. I've been talking to you since you first showed up at the dock and apparently you are not seeing anything I say, nor anything any of the others say :(

[Mean Queen]

LOL! Odd. I'll try logging off and back in again to see if that works.

[threeboysmom]

Jade, you read my "No' in game because I used speed chat. You can ONLY read speed chat phrases.

I'm guessing you used a child's birth year when you signed up for POTCO. A child under 13 cannot read other people's chat - only the "safe" speed chat phrases. See if you can log into your account and change your birthdate. If not, try going into your account and changing the chat settings. If you can't, you'll have to contact Disney to get this fixed.

[Mean Queen]

Any clue how I can fix not being able to read free chat anymore? Could it be the server we're on?

[Mean Queen]

This is the first time I have only been able to read speed chat. Odd.

[Cardinal]

Where is everyone? I've been waiting since 6:00 EST for you guys to come. :confused3

[threeboysmom]

Sorry, Card. I was running late... real life..

I can come by and pick you up if you're still around. Looks like it's just you and me today.

ETA: Ok, ran to the dock.. didn't see you. Not like I expected you to be still hanging around anyways. Going out for a run, then I'll check back again.

[Cardinal]

I was playing with the guards right next to the dock, Pink. I wish I had seen you.

I'm standing in front of a "Jack" who's AFK... is that you?

[Cardinal]

I am Sven Hullwrecker and my last crew has landed me in the Padres Del Fuego jail. :surfweb:

Can you teleport to Port Royal? I'm still waiting.

So Pink caught something from one of the GMs about "Cannons of the Deep." The first thing I did was Google that and check out what I found.

It's a game on the mobile version of Disney.com currently in beta. It says you can earn gold, treasure and sheet music. All of these can be transferred over to your PotCO account. I think you'll be able to give the sheet music the NPC musicians in the taverns. You can also upgrade the hull strength and figure head on your ship.

It seems to be a text based game. It tells you that you've encountered a ship and you set your cannon angle and power to see if you can hit it. I encountered a Kingfisher. I sunk it and made 26 gold but not before critically damaging my own ship (which cost me 56 gold to repair). :rotfl:

"one of the GMs"??? His name was Thatch. ;)

Second thing you did... sent the link :rotfl2:

[threeboysmom]

Yes!

If you're at the Boss Battle, this weekend is the time to do it! 4000 in rep points! :woohoo:

Also, work those weapons... because new weapon unlocks (level 20) are making an appearance next week, I believe.

[jeaniegirl]

Hey friends,just wanted to let you know that I finished boss battle last night.I can't believe that me(lvl 29) completed it.A whole bunch of friends of mine helped me. I know I shouldn't brag,but....GO Me!!!!:cool1: :banana: :woohoo: :dance3: I thought we were all going to Davy Jones' locker bc there was no health left,but we did it pirate:

[threeboysmom]

Woot! Congrats, Jeannie! Go YOU!! :dance3:

[KrazyPete]

Oh no! That's one more Roo Rocker we won't be seeing in the game much anymore. Has anyone seen Cruise or Matty around? :sad2:

Seriously though, Congrats! pirate:

Only in SmallWorlds lately... They're both on now actually...

I feel extremely slow... Not only do I still have Boss Battle left, but I have TWO of the three clothing quests still left to complete.... AND if that's not bad enough, I'm still working my way through the PRIVATEERING quest! Not to mention the weapon unlock quests that I haven't even begun yet... I have enough to keep me busy still for a long time! :teeth:

I think I spend waaaaaaay too much time chatting in this game!

Just wait until we get our own little guildy hang-out joint! :dance3:

ETA: Oh! Speaking of which... I totally forgot to mention some other things Thatch told me. We were talking about Guilds and such - some ideas thrown around were... a private island for guilds to hang out, guild colors (pink, pink, and pink!!), design your own guild flag for your ships (pink!), guild events, a "wall" or something for leaving messages for your fellow guildies... Pretty cool, huh?

I still can't play Pirates much because of my computer situation. I need to stick games that I don't have to download.

I still only have Barbosa's outfit but not the other two. However, whenever I do manage to log on, nobody else is on at all.

It sounds like part of the problem is that we're just on at different times. If only our guild had something like an Event Coordinator that could plan special things for us to all do together. :dance3:

[tigressjewel]

Way to go Jeanne!! I wish I had known, I would have piggybacked with you and got my completed too!! Now you have to help me. I was hoping to talk Matty and Cruise into helping me also, since Pink and Pete want to boss the battle, not battle the boss.. err.. whatever! I think I said that right. :confused3

I haven't even started one clothing quest yet! :rotfl2: I barely started privateering too, so there is LOADS for me to still keep busy in game with. I can't wait to see about this guild hangout idea.. sounds awesome!! :thumbsup2

Oh.. and btw, I dl skype today.

Try using Disney DXD, just go to the community tab from Pirates Home Page.
if you have not been there yet already its kinda confusing since most all our pirates link back to our disney accounts but yet are different ? maybe/pirate:

I know I'm not in the Rocking Roos Guild, but you guys should add me as a friend because I seem to be on there more than I should. Especially if you are home during the day like I am. I look forward to long naps because it's bye bye housework, hello POTC time!

[Iris]

Jewel, I will be out of the house most of Saturday for my daughter's competition. I can be on Sunday if you want to try boss and get those double rep points. Just let me know. Otherwise carry on without me.

Can anyone help me find the buried severed arm?

I cant dig anywhere without an enemy interrupting my digging...or dieing.

I cant even find the dig spot with this clue http://www.disneyonlineworlds.com/index.php/Dig_Up_A_Severed_Arm_Quest

ETA: About a minute or two after posting this, I found it :woohoo:

[threeboysmom]

Woot! :cool1:

After many weeks of practicing, BloodthirstyShark and Pink decided to finally pass their Boss Battle yesterday during double rep!! Piece of cake... got it on our first attempt through. We rock that Boss!

We then took Jewel through and helped her pass her own Boss Battle! :banana: :banana: :banana:

I'm sure going to miss that task though... Great fun!

If anyone needs a couple of tour guides for their upcoming Boss Battle, we're ready to don our captain's caps once again pirate:

Those that have now successfully passed their Boss Battles:

Ladysouth
Matty_D
Cruiselinefan
Jeanniegirl
Tigress Jewel
Bloodthirsty Shark
Pink Girlygirl

Am I missing anyone?

Need to now get Jedi, Jade, Constance, and Ricks through...

For others that may be looking the below may help. Tip: It is best to find the spot with your weapon already drawn, as you will probably be attacked by a rock crab. Once you kill it start digging right away. If a crab starts hitting you during the digging most likely the digging will be halted with nothing found.
