It's tough enough getting a sail as it is!
How about changing it so that ANY two maps will do and get rid of the Left Right requirement?

I forgot to mention-- some of those people there are lower level players but no one is stealing anyway because a left map is useless to all guilds!
Saw something similar a few nights ago on server 1, tho it didnt take up every boat. Nobody was robbing and the people who were sailing were getting in left map first as to make sinking them useless.
By the way he is referring to server 58. It has been that way for two days now.
Yeah...I think the problem is either:
A) The maps are randomly generated..which means equal odds of being assigned any map, and due to the dice roll no one happens to get a right or
B) Maps are evenly distributed, but the rights assigned to the 'ghosts' who hop to other servers and leave their shells behind
This seems to happen more and more the longer a server goes on, and the less people sail in general. I think it would be a much better fix if you just got a map piece, and any 2 of them worked together. This would promote the fact that guilds are working together to sail, while reducing the impact of ghosts on a server.
Sad thing is, this is easily fixed. Just make the map fragments generic so all you need is two people with map fragments, not a right and a left. So the person can click on either end of the boat.
plz dont do that then even more alts will be used to steal maps from like on my world
It's been three days of lefts now on Server 58. Something needs to be done to fix this issue. It's especially worse on High Seas Saturday
Dawn I am lucky to get one sail a day in and I am ranked first on the server so has nothing to do with being sunk. Everyone on the server is getting LH maps since the last patch here on server 58. Please look into this issue.
Also the suggestion to simply create a map piece and not a LH or a RH would bring more action to pirates and give everyone a chance to sail. Something to think about.
The distrubution has been awful on server 8 the last two days as well.
Not really any issues on server 3. BTW something else that is wrong with that picture is that all the boats are occupied (pretty damn tough to even have a chance at stealing a right if every boat in the harbor has a left).
Server 7 we wither have 'right days' or 'left days'. I am not saying that every one gets a right or a left, but a lot more people get the 'map of the day' than the other one. today was a Right day.
Here's this morning. And when I claimed my benefits, I'll give you three guesses which map I got...

Only thing it catches my eyes was the 19million credits.
Lets face it
everyone or almost everyone getting the same side of the map sucks
we all know this has been going on since the last patch
tynon refuses to do a thing about it
dawn seeker denied its even happening
The answer imo is not to do away with the left/right requirement.
That would dumb the game down even further.
I think tynon needs to look into this and fix it so there is a more even map distribution like there was before the patch. ANd maybe add in a special any sided map that you can get in a gold guild chest
Please fix the issue with the Pirate Treasure maps....most are lefts and, now that they don't reset at midnight, the high lvl players just bogart the boats so noone can use them.
On beta we all have right maps on board this is getting old been more then 4 days like this
the game for me is getting so boring and now with this issue about maps to blahhh relly tynon admins or workers hear your players telling u that something is wrong with the map rate
hope u do something about it the game getting to a point for me that it has no meaning to play no more if this keeps up ty in advance.
Same thing in my guild too, almost all of my players inc my self, have been receiving Lefts only for the best part of a week, I know only that 2 of my players that got a Right! which has made it impossible for about 90%of my guild not able to sail, they have robbed maps and have ended up with Lefts.
I do agree with Rumbleguts
If they were made generic at least we all could get a chance to sail,Quote:

This would be so easy for the dev's to fix

If it looks like this on your server. I recommend getting off the boats or you all will never sail. You are preventing your own guild mates from being able to sink a ship or steal a map to sail with YOU!
Dawnseeker has already stated there is no problem. Others are stating they are forming the blockade in protest of losing extra sails from buying gems.
The people that do have left maps, are probably in other smaller guilds, they know they dare not put a left on first, because the shore is filled with evidence that its a BAD idea, this is turn is decreasing the likelihood that any of your teammates will have a chance to sink or even steal a map piece from them on the shore. You don't get rewards for sitting on the shore. If you want to see a resolution to this, everyone needs to get off the ships until they have a teammate with a corresponding map piece. If we give everyone a chance to sail, people might actually be able to use guild chests and pull the other piece, and if the shore isn't full, smaller players might actually get a chance to get on the water. Not everyone has the tremendous power enough to steal map pieces, or god-like power to hog a boat all day. But the people that are sitting on the docks are holding the boats hostage, slowing pirates down to a crawl. This is pointless and makes it worse for all players in general. Please get off the boats and let others have a chance that actually have a teammate to ride with. Point blank, NO ACTIVITY in pirates is to blame on the ten people holding the boats all day.
Just confirmed that smaller guilds are getting opposing map pieces that we need, but they don't have room to get on a boat. This pirates issue will go away if everyone gets off the boats so smaller players can try to sail. We are getting no where with all the boats full. Give pirates a chance, and stop hogging the boats. I am speaking to my guild as well, the few that have boats are making pirates unplayable for everyone else. Please, if you don't have a teammate with an opposing map, get off the ships!
lmao evilside i dont think u right on that. from 30 players with a right side in same guild only 2 in there may have a left as u can see that already so dont be saying its the player holding the boats when its not!!
NOTE: U to been on boat for hrs waiting for the peace u need to !
This is the picture on beta - full ships with all one side, just different people/guilds. The number of left sails are so small that in two days only a small handful of people have sailed. Then someone sticks a right side in again. There is no chance to let anyone sail IF they did find a rare left. You can't give away maps, to get new ones and since they carry over through reset, i don't know how long it will be until this changes. I don't know what Tynon did (i can guess) but Pirates is screwed now. Almost every ship is a top player, and few can steal from them nor want to to only get another right that can't be used. WTH is gonna happen now?? So sad its nearly funny.
Actually, I've been across already today. And helped about ten people sail. I know it can be done, but until players stop being greedy with the boats, it won't ever end. How hard is it to get off the boat and let other people sail? It's pure greed is all it is... People may think they have to be the first ones to sail, and gotta hold a boat so no one else can get it. Truth is, its taking longer for you all to sail, simply because you are not allowing others the chance to sail at all, decreasing the odds of you ever having a teammate that can snag a map why? Because there isn't anyone sailing, just camping on the boats.
[SUGGEST ADDING A TIMER TO PIRATES] - so people cant sit on the boats all day and shut down a portion of the game which we all want to play but cannot due to blockade on the ships.

As, you can tell from this picture, server 2 is not suffering from this problem...
#QuitHoggingTheBoats
Yeah, my post was about BETA, server 2 is totally different, so many more there. BETA is small, and that's where the blockade is. And it has some successful sails, but obviously the trend is almost all maps are 1 side on any given day, with the opposite side being rare. All i'm saying is that this is not a change for the better.
Well, it's not just beta, server 1 is the same way. Ten different people at any given time holding all the boats hostage, not letting anyone else have a chance to sail. What's the point in sitting on a boat when you have nobody that can find a map to get on with you? You not only hurt yourself, but your guild as well by doing this... If nobody can get on the water, nobody can get sunk and get rid of their map pieces. Sure, some people think it looks cute, but this is really annoying the hell out of a lot of people, and its a select few that are guilty of it. I'm urging those people to jump off the boat and wait until it's "THEIR TURN" and let the rest of us get on with trying to sail. This blockade is costing everyone on the server, not just the ten people who can't find a ride.
If this continues they might as well just remove pirates from the game altogether and nobody gets any rewards from it. That's what's is happening anyways. Even the top ten players will eventually just sit there on a boat praying someone logs on to check if they can even get a different map piece!
well this is definitely becoming an issue when big players aren't making sails do to lack of R maps ...i suggest that u change the sailing all together and set it up like u have the sails set up basically u can only sit on the shore for 10 minutes at a time and only be able to sit there 3 times a day same as ur sailing sails take 10 minutes and u get 3 shots problem salved no one will attempt to block the seas by sitting on the shores if they have a time limit for the activity :) jus sayin
What's Truegod complaining about?
Looking through the server's naval logs, I see he completed a sail hours ago.
http://oi40.tinypic.com/16llpq8.jpg
We could always solve this is the simplest way. And tynon roll back the fix they done to seas. And hopefully that will stop what has happened now?
They fixed it so we didn't miss out on the extra stuff from our guild buff. But it's only a partial fix because the player still needs to refresh. So a simple roll back and problem solved.
Also maybe not changing the way we play the game mid server would also help in these matters ?
There's nothing wrong with how pirates is now. Like EVILSIDE has said, it is the players who are blockading the shore.
If Tynon didn't change the game mid-server, then the game would be incomplete. As you can see, the levels are only until level 100 at the moment.
There is a big diff to 'adding content' and 'changing original content'.
And there have been changes to pirates maybe u don't make it across enough.
Cheeky boo.
Yes I have been aware of the changes.
- No reset of health on 2nd fight
- Naval log
- Half start / half completion rewards
- Fixing of the 6 sail bug
The Tynon devs have made it clear that the game is an evolving and changing one, and that we must adapt to it.
No one has the matching map. It doesn't matter. Everyone else has your map :P
Very few people are being prevented from doing anything. Can't use your map. Can't get rid of it.
How about this one? We actually had more Lefts, but not enough boats.
I believe I've been holding the same map piece for the whole week.
EVEN IF I claim guild benefits/pull a map out of guild chest it gives me the same damn side.
Needless to say. I only sailed twice this week. ):
http://i.imgur.com/Fe9ZSIc.jpg
it's getting ridiculous.
Please Dawn, can you look into this?
Last two days its all Lefties on server 8.
There's always been more of one map, which is no prob if you ask me. That makes it fun.. you have to be smart about dailing looting and sinking..
But now the ratio is so bad its barely possible to sail. Other guilds just get lefts too.. and it won't change later on the day. The Rights are very rare.
And it's barely impossible to get rid of a left cause no one wants to loot them or they have already claimed them.
Please at least check it out?
is it just that there is a huge amount of bad luck involved? idk.. i hope it changes fast then. Cause this is no fun..
