POtCO "Rocking Our Roos" Pirates Guild

[BobRichmond]

Yes, sort of... But, instead of each room or location having different instances, the entire game exists in different instances. So if you and I are in the same ocean and we both teleport to Tortuga, we will always land in the same Tortuga.

However sometimes you will be end up at different locations on the island teleported to, so pick a meeting place there. If you want to end up in the same location use "GoTo" a friend/crewmember/guildmember.

...2) The only time someone tells you NOT to sink a ship on PotCO is when they know that ship will blast you out of the water if you antagonize it...

Once you learn which ships shoot fire (higher levels) or lightning (all skellies), you will quickly learn not to go broadside to them. If you do end up broadside hope you are far enough away to reverse your ships motion and avoid their shots at you or get ready to use full sail or ramming speed to get out of there. Also if you want to board a flag do you use fire as it will sink and not let you board. Flags sink at others times too, but there is no telling when that bug will appear.

4) It's not really about getting the flag as it is killing everyone on the other ship and taking all their stuffs....

You can lessen the number of enemies on board by really pounding the ship with broadsides and cannons after it is disabled. It is also important to know that the level of enemies on board a ship of the same type can be vastly different. I have boarded a ManO'War to find 4 lvl 10-12 sargeants and other times boarded the same type of ship in a location close by to find 5 lvl 20-23 officers. If you are boarding higher level flags I would suggest getting your doll out fast and getting ready to run circles just in case. If there are enough of you a designated healer can help also, but you have to protect them.

Oh and one other thing: if your crewmates board a ship and a bug leaves you behind and unable to move, use the "F1" key to get moving again and help out the others by using the cannon to shoot the enemies on the other ship or take the wheel and use broadsides.

I'll add another as soon as I get "ramming speed."...

Something I mentioned above is worth mentioning again. Even though I have found ramming speed of limited use as an attack, it is a great way to get away fast. However just make sure you are heading to open water as there is no turning (unlike full sail).

...Lightning..........need I say more??...

A great shot on far off ships to get them coming directly at you. If you have enough of them (a large barrel lets you hold 175) you can get all the sails down (thus increasing the points from sinking the ship) and the ship just sitting there by the time the ship gets in range of the regular cannon projectiles.

The most fun cannon shot is Fury where you sink other ships by shooting hidden Mickeys at them.

Oh yeah, I am working my way up now to that fury!!! I feel the power.

Just now a group sunk several Juggernauts in a row, we had some sort of glitch and they could not shoot at us. It was sweet..............

 

[threeboysmom]

One of these days you will let me or Cindy (Coriander) know your coming, so we can finally meet you.

I know, I felt bad not joining all of you this trip, but the timing was not good. I will be traveling to WDW again next month with two of my sons for Star Wars weekend (my 18 yo has no interest in joining us). I'll be dressed in full PINK Jedi costume... you can't miss me, heh

Going to meet Dmamie and Dvcgal at WDW tomorrow, but might be able to get to the event. On POtCO my title is Corianders Toy, I am a Savvy Pirates guild member, and in the mid 30s for notoriety. Hope to see you there - oh btw what titles should I be looking for?

Aww... have fun! Hard to believe I was just walking around the park yesterday Hope to see you tonight! I'll be standing on the dock located in Tortuga. I'll post my ocean as soon as I log in.

Flag Frenzy is tonight and I just have to point out how much less girly CTF is on PotCO than it was on VMK. Here are a few reasons why: (yada yada yada...)

Ok I got another one for you!

Lightning..........need I say more?? So not girly at all. I feel the power!!

What the heck, you two.... stop taking away my girly fun!

I think I'm going to plan a shopping trip for our next pirate event!

I'll be sharking your frigate!

Bob.... WAAAAAAAAAY over my head! How about you sail and shoot, and I'll just check my nails

Just now a group sunk several Juggernauts in a row,

What in the world is a Juggernaut????


Don't forget our Friday Flag Frenzy tonight - just one more hour!! I'll be logging in closer to 8 EST and will post what ocean server I am on. You can find me standing on the dock on Tortuga island.

For those of you that can't make it right at 8 pm, periodically, I will head back to that dock (every time we sink , get repairs, or drop off cargo) to pick up any new people that want to join us. You can also post here to signal to me - I'll try to remember to hit refresh on this thread every now and then!

Tigressjewel is supposed to be joining us tonight! Woot!

Oh, and one other thing - I posted 2 new events for our guild to be held in June. When you get a moment, check it out!

 

[jasonpwns]

Wow! Sounds like some players in the game are more concerned with trying to kill other players with weapons, than be helpful in any way.

And yes, you did have me laughing again with the guy trying various weapons on you with no end result. I can only imagine what you were thinking ~ like seriously, all I want is to change my clothes!

Well it is a pirate game for gosh sakes lmao,

that part cracked me up about him attacking though.

...I will be traveling to WDW again next month with two of my sons for Star Wars weekend (my 18 yo has no interest in joining us). I'll be dressed in full PINK Jedi costume... you can't miss me...

Just let me or Coriander know by PM or EMail if you will be there on a Friday. We will most likely be there for a couple of events every Friday of the weekends.

I don't remember ever seeing a Pink Jedi costume, so you should stand out a bit!

 

[threeboysmom]

OK, it's getting close to that time!

I'm currently on the Savada ocean server. Heading to the dock in Tortuga now.

We'll figure out whose boat... and who wants to sail vs. use the cannons vs. stand on the dock and look pretty later...

 

[threeboysmom]

I had it custom made just for me

The boys hate it

 

[cyre]

Can i get in on the sinking festivities??

 

[threeboysmom]

Can i get in on the sinking festivities??

Standing on the dock now, cyre, waiting for you dear

 

[Phalene]

I'm not a guild member, but can I join the fun?

Edit: If I can join, I'm on the Tortuga dock on Savada now, my name is Mia

 

[threeboysmom]

WOOT!

Had an AWESOME time with you all sinking and boarding those flag ships! Such fun!

I lost count how many we boarded.... which.... would have been even more if it hadn't been for certain people (coughCruisecough) shooting fire cannons and sinking the ships before we coud board...

I took a bunch of screen shots, but haven't figured out yet where POTCO stores them on my computer. I'll post a couple when I can find them.

Thanks everyone for joining us!

 

[KrazyPete]

What a blast!

We definently have to do that again. When you come back into port with 500 gold, that's a pretty good haul. We had 11 people on a boat at one time. Nothing could stop us! Well, nothing but the LAG!

Here's a shot I grabbed, Pirates dancing on the dock in Tortuga.

 

[thesupersmartguy]

Looks like a lot of fun, let me know next time you set sail and i'll join ye. It will be just like the old VMK pirates days.

 

[cyre]

Pink i had a blast with you all, thank you for letting me join in on the fun!! Was going great until i crashed. -kicks video driver-

anyways here's my screen shot of the dancing...different angle hehe

 

[Iris]

Omg, I never laughed so much in my life. That was crazy fun. And yes I know, I INSISTED we go after the Dreadnought!! Sorry KrazyPete, I will lose some gold to you in Poker to repair your damaged ship. I know, I know, I just like living on the edge.


Oh and sorry Pink, i could not see the flag over the ship before I shot fire at it. What can I say, I don't know my own power..............

But admit it all, you love going after those big ships.

The best run was definitely when we had 11 on board! I love getting all that booty.

So great to meet more Dissers last night.

Take me sailing again so I can level up my cannon and we'll call it even.

I was hoping to blast my way to Firebrand last night but that didn't happen. I'm still 100 points short of level 7 and it's my lowest skill.

I wish I could say going after the Dreadnought was fun but, all I saw of it was the sinking sail and my boots flying up in jail!

Thanks for letting me join in. You got to love me standing on the deck with some old looking clothes on, watching you all dance :-D

Shadow gave me 14 days unlimited so hopefully I can change my clothes!

Thanks for letting me join, I hope we can do that again.

 

[threeboysmom]

LOVE those dancing screen shots! Woot! Nothing like a victory dance on the pirate dock!

Think it's amusing how Cyre posts a "different angle" with of course her girl dead center for the camera

And I can pick out Taz in the pic just standing there watching us jig.... "uh.. how do I dance?"

Still need to find my pics!!

So much fun last night! Thanks again!

Which reminds me.... how does that crew bonus work? Someone mentioned the larger the crew, the more gold you get???
