7 hours of pirates and still no 575...

[mesbijoux]

and it's still a no go

My husband (Dr-Jones), my 9 yo son (FOOTBALLRECEIVER) and I (MagicShell) teamed up with 2 dis boarders (Hakihea and BlackHatFaer) for some of those hours. We tried to let Hakihea and BlackHatFaer get their 575 first - no dice. We came within 9 credits on one round

A vmk member named Adex was WONDERFUL - she isn't doing quest but would sit in long, LONG lines and wait to help us. Don't you love vmk ppl like that? I wish more were as wonderful

I'm just so disappointed. Aside from my hubby and I - we actually have 5 children (4 old enough to play but all have accounts) that we were hoping to help do the quest for. Meanwhile from 4pm until 11pm tonight we tried our darnedest for one of them and still nothing

Not sure what we did wrong. We did a three on tree game (b/c for on for dc'd us too much), chose I player to win the 575. We put them on th Pirate team. Port team would sink two other pirates then winning pirate would shoot at port players who would go for health after each shot keeping pirate up to date on health status. Time running out seemed to be a big deterrent from getting the credits. Also, we would go three rounds. The first round winning pirate would take. Second round winning pirate loses to Kraken leaving a port player alive (this player would be the one with least gold on board). Third round winning pirate was to have 575.

Not sure, but we may try again tomorrow. NEVER will I spent 7 hours again tho - I feel like a bad mommy who shouldn't have spent so much time online Half the battle tomorrow will be finding ppl to put together for a team.

Our team has decided the Kraken can go find his own Lunch we aint feedin him.

It is tricky to get this execution down, and takes some skill but manage to start advancing faster after we got it figured out.

First point, the Basic strategy remains the same. When possible use gold close up for the kill in round 1 and 3 at the end of round 1 and 3 load gold and shoot close range to end it, this will maximize points.

Round 2 is the tricky part we sent the Kraken away because he leaves you like 60 credits , its a waste. We like 100 - 500 credits here. really takes the pressure off. At the end the last two players load up the gold, get it ready. Line up but this time with distance between you (like two ship lengths) the losing team fires first, the moment designated winner sees the shot he also fires. Designated losing team takes all credit and wins round but then is hit by designated winner who steals all credit back (usually between 200 and 500)

If you don't mess it up it will work great for you. We also find if you have a team member that seems trigger happy - just kill them fast

GREAT tips - thanks for the input It really is tricky with the 2nd round and Kraken - too many games were essentially lost this way

My son (FOOTBALLRECEIVER) and I (MagicShell) are up now if anyone wants to play the way AdventureDaz suggests. Currently in SWS
