POtCO "Rocking Our Roos" Pirates Guild

I SO HATE JAIL!!!!!!!

OK, I have a really strange question. Is there some sort of invisibility bug on POTCO?

Last night I was on with KrazyPete, and he claims he couldn't see Pink even though I was standing in front of him. He kept teleporting to me and landing right back in the same spot (since I hadn't moved). I kept trying to tell him in game that I was standing right in front of him, but he said he couldn't find me (and then he'd teleport again...sigh)

Matty_D joined us and lo and behold he couldn't see me either! Now I could see both of them clear as day, but they both claimed they couldn't see me at all even though I was moving around them, standing right in front of their faces. I even went off and killed a guard just to make sure I was *really* there and not a "ghost."

I mean, come on.... how can you miss Pink?

At first, I thought they were joking around, but they kept up with it for so long that now I believe them that they couldn't see me. I ended up signing out.

Has anyone heard of this happening before?

Anyone up for some sailing/shooting some ships? PM me if you wish to do that

Pink,

This happened with HappyGoLucky and myself yesterday morning. We were both on Rumrunner's Island I think. I had teleported to her and I think at the same time she teleported to me. I could see her just fine but she kept whispering to me "where are you". I told her I was right in front of her and yet should could not see me at all. She ended up changing servers and then i followed her over there. We could then see each other just fine. I think it is some sort of bug that pops up once in a while.

By the way, sorry i left the boat, I lost internet connection and got kicked out of course.

I think that is exactly what happened to us. I could see Pink in my friend list and when she would whisper to me but that's it.

Hmmm... wonder if that is what causes the problem. I had teleported to Petez at the same time he was teleporting to me (after we were both getting out of jail AGAIN, I might add....)

Interesting

I think there needs to be a special sign in the jail, Pink's cell!!!

I tried Lightningz but they denied it - trying again, Lol.

Simply known as Bucaneer for the moment. I'm level 4 I think.

ETA: I got accepted - Lightningz

Yes, there is an invisibility bug. I don't know why (or where) it happened in your case, but there are various glitches around PotCO that can cause it. You can actually make it happen in certain places/circumstances.

I've done it myself, as have a couple of my friends. Interestingly, none of us took damage while invisible, yet we were still able to wreak havoc on the nasties and earn rep. We could not, however, tp when in the invisibility glitch (we got messages saying "You cannot teleport from jail"). Also, my health bar was locked down in Groggy mode, even though the bar itself was completely green. And I didn't get the golden glow when I leveled up my weapon, either. I needed to log off and back on to return to my normal state.

It was fun to play around with, but I've only done it once. Since it was obviously a glitch, I was a little concerned that it might have some unwanted effects on my pirate. And even though it didn't, I'm not quite comfortable enough to do it again.

the good thing about this bug is that the enemies can't see you either. It can be a great way to level your weapons.

Like what the others have said, there are a few invisibility glitches.. you can usually use them to your advantage, as most of the time enemies cannot inflict damage on you while you're invisible but you can kill them.

The best glitch is on Outcast.. there are 2 stumps in the grassy area that are level 30+ .. you need to go there with at least 1 other person... one of you will become glitched and the other won't. It's a great way to level fast.

Hey! Can I have fresh flowers put in my cell for next time?

 

[supermonkey]

i'm on if anyone wants to meet

 

[cyre]

Anyone on? i'm on the first server if anyone wants to meetup

 

[DanMedix]

There is indeed an invisibility bug. I found folks that used it around Kingshead, when I was searching for items for the grenades. They helped me get what I needed, by attacking the soldiers who were otherwise coming to get me!

 

[cowboys_girl]

Being invisible on Kingshead rocks! Just wanted to add that.

Are there any UK'ers here who pay for this game??

It says I have to enter an American address... which sadly I don't have.

Any possible way around this?

As far as Im aware there is no way around this currently. I have some friends in the UK and Germany who cannot play because they are not from the US. It stinks because they let them play beta then the go on to say they cant play anymore. I hope you find a way around it though!

 

[WDWLIGHTNINGZ]

I've sent an email so hopefully i'll hear back.

They are releasing POTCO in the UK in a few months but - I will not be able to play with you guys.
