Bad.. I think it's okay, except for the fact it lacks space.

I like the new games, don't REALLY want the old pirates back. As for the credits.. I'm like.. 800 credits richer (didn't play it much.)

I didn't get a long day of plundering in, had to actually work for a living, but the time I spent on it last night was well worth it. I probably made in the neighborhood of 3,000 credits. I blew through Level I in no time (took me bloody well forever with original pirates). I am also confused about the visit to Blackheart, as I received the "you advanced to level 3" message after only two or three wins at level 2.

I like this version better. I like the capture the flag a lot! Haven't tried the battle except once, thought I was playing capture the flag, so you can imagine how well that went for me!

I think one thing I like about it is that most of us started out on the same level field as of yesterday, so I don't feel like such a dunce. At least no one told me that I was so bad I shouldn't been playing (yes, someone told me that in the old game!).

My trouble with it is consistency. One game I'd be kicking serious pirate butt and the next game I'm sunk in 10 seconds! Oh, and I just loved the "I can't see anything" screens. Lots of fun to sit there and watch your health go down, and you have no idea what is going on!

These will all moderate with time. I had a blast. And I look forward to advancing to Level 3 in the next few days.

(If a certain community leader who is also a mod on this board and the queen of pirates will ever respond to my messages and help me out, that is! )

I really enjoy the new pirates! I successfully made it through all the levels (simply because I have no life ) without problems. I believe I only dc'ed once or possibly twice. I got into every game on the first try and believe me...at the end of the day reading posts of frustration, I think I ended up very lucky!

When I entered into a room, it was always a great surprise to see the lobbys filled with DIS'ers! I think at one time, there were three lobbys filled with nearly just DIS! I literally re-entered lobbies looking for a friend and honestly saw the rooms occupied by our wonderful community! lol.

The music rocks my socks! I feel the need to break out in dance whenever I enter the lobby! You know, the usual break-dancing! lol.

I am VERY glad to see they are finally not just making it Disney themed...but actually weaving in Disney! Imagine the look of amazement on my face when I saw the scenes from the Pirates of The Caribbean in the games! (okay, you really don't have to imagine the look, lol, just know I was surprised, pleasantly!) lol.

To answer your question...I think I faired pretty well! lol!

 

[Laurabearz]

I am up in credits a couple of thousand at least....

I like the new Pirates, but I HATE the PRE Pirates game you have to play... you know the one where you have to hit Start Game, yes I will pay 21 credits, level 3, Capture the Flag, Start GaME blam!!!! ROOM FULL game.

In other words, I cant wait for everyone else to get bored with it so I can start a game 'at will'

lol

 

[Roxane]

I played a couple of games. I really like the new set up. I can't wait to get some time to devote to some serious playing

 

[KidGoofy]

I actually did pretty well. I got about 4,000 - 5,000 credit and I am five wins away from level three( or in VMK Terms tea). I actually liked the new game but I know I am going to miss the old one. I just did not like all the glitches. And the room to the left exit looks so great.

 

[SpaceCommander]

I did well as for i'm a kid i can't play 24/7 , i played about 2 hours and got 3100

 

[Koolkidq]

I LOVE the new version of pirates. Because of this pirates game, I won my Deep Sea Diving Pin!!! I love Capture the Flag the most. I got near a thousand credits.

 

[cteddiesgirl]

Well, the screens are very dark and it's difficult to see where you're at and what you're doing. And then of course, there are the times that you sit there and can see no one and nothing at all. That was really fun.
I also don't like the "choose your ship" option. It's really a pain. Especially when you join a game and immediately after before you get to choose, the person starts the game.

I did generally like the games. But, of course, my biggest problem is the paying to play. Yes, over about 15 games, I earned about 2000 or so credits. But, I still paid out 315. So all in all, it was 1685 earned.
There were several times that I did not get back the credits I paid in.
One game, I didn't get any credits what so ever! Nothing, Nada, Zip. Which, for having to pay to play, I should always get at least those credits back.
That is the apsect of the paying out that I don't like. There is no guarantee that you will get all your credits back.

I guess they're going with the "you have to spend money to make money" philosophy.

Just please, do not do this with the other games!

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one with the "I can't see anything" screens. Sometimes I would see nothing others I would see parts of ships, just a characters name or just an arrow where my ship should have been.

But the games I did play were great. Still don't have the hang of capture the flag but I will keep playing a hopefully get it.

One thing I did have a problem with was if I was one of the last to join a game. I wouldn't have enough time to choose a ship. I would click ok to pay the credits to play and then whoosh I was in the game.

 

[Dashzap]

Love it, love it, love it! Love the choice of games, choice of ships, new strategies, adore the little lifeboat, love the kraken, love everything about it except the new music in the lobby (sounds like cheap AM radio noise).

I didn't have enough time online yesterday to play much; not very good at it yet.

Is that my new tag- the Queen of Pirates????

Well I would have to thank all those who got me there!

Got your message I am terrible with in game messages as I hope most everyone knows PM me here if you want me to read it ASAP.

Happy to play anytime .... PM me HERE!!!

I think there was a bug with Level three I never got the message did not have to talk to Blackheart and I advanced to level 3.

I am now about 20,000 credits richer than I was yesterday morning. I had just finished my 2000 win at pirates Tues night and had 106,425 credits I know because I took a screenshot for the record

I made at least 20,000 credits yesterday but I also spent about 1000 on

since I think they will be the next item to disappear from the stores!because they are "item of the week" weren't the tikis item of the week and they dissappeared??

 

[Cpt.JackSpearow]

I struck it rich yesterday, and believe it or not I only dc 2 time and my toal credts for the day!!!



I ended up winning exactly 5,752 credits in the new pirates yesterday

 

[tolkien7]

I went to the lobby to play and discovered that we can no longer play alone. This is what I don't like about Mansion - people drop out and then you get no credits. So I didn't even play - Doc doesn't play well with others!

 

[Captain Brain]

I love the new pirates! I could not ever get the hang of the old one, but I love these! I like that we can change ships! I like the one with the cannons.

I finally got that bug at closing last night only happened in two games, what a bummer it was though. I had that not being able to pick a boat happen to me also maybe we all should remember to make sure everyone has picked a boat before we start the game.

I also loved how the DIS RULES the WAVES at Pirates!!!! Truly an amazing sight to see!

 

[DaraAllen]

OK, Queenie, will do! Expect a PM or two from me this evening, God willing and the creek don't rise. Which, given the rain lately, might just be a miracle!

(thanks, Mal!)

[VMK_KrazyLuke]

I truly like this one better, because of the music, graphics, and details. They did an awesome job at this and I am not bothered by bringing in those credits from Capture The Flag! I swear I played and got through all 3 different levels and won about 10 grand and then spent most of it on furniture I didn't need. LOL I think it's great that you can choose your ship and also 2 different ways of game play. They did a great job and I saw QA_caffdawg and yavn yesterday and I could tell that they were enjoying everybody else enjoying the new games and areas! They did a great job as I have said for the fifth time now! Well I guess that is it and I love it

I believe you can choose to have computer players. They say that you get fewer credits tho.
