How to cross in Pirates

[Bubba87]

It would be rather interesting if there were various "islands" say to explore for different power levels, but the issue that would arise is map pieces. There are simply not enough map pieces in the game for everyone to make it. If there were another source of map pieces, and differentiated levels, I think many many more people would enjoy it. I'm by no stretch a super-player in terms of power and have my own share of crossing issues, but when I do make it, I find the rewards to be pathetic, IMO.

You sir are a LIAR. You can't get that many maps in a day without using the known glitch in permitting you to sail more than 3 per day that the "in the know players" are using and exploiting. Most of the big players are CHEATING with this glitch as well as by using alt accounts to harvest maps from. Don't put out your tripe as if holier than thou when its clear your're one of the people who's gaming the system and exploits.

I have played this game since beta.

I have read all the posts in forums about pirates being broken or needing changed.

....

Those of us that can sink 98-99% of a server only sail twice a day which leaves us free to sink as many people as we like.

Lol ok, Im lying that I attack people and steal their maps and then sit on shore with the map, and hope people attack me so I get more revenges. AN hoping that by giving out maps to bigger players they will use up their trips and not be able to sink me when I try to cross.

As far as this glitch.... I know some of the VIP6s or higher some how get more then 3 sails a day form time to time - not every day, and they don't even know how they get the extras. But if the system is going to give them more then 3 sails, why shouldn't they use them?

To me what they need to do with Pirates is fix it to where a person can not be attacked in the last minute of the crossing. Because it stinks that there are those Higher level players with a mill. plus power who jump the boats when they are less than a minute from the other side. And they should only be allowed to steal or sink once per day.

Yup, some very demented and cruel people take great joy in making you wait till the very end then attacking you to dash your hopes in the last 10 seconds.

Pirates is not an event for the weary. Already on Server one, people below 2-3 million power have simply quit sailing at all, to avoid "feeding" the bigger players. If you have any in-game enemies, don't count on getting across 3 or 6 times daily. Still, with this stuff happening, I don't see a reason to change it much, or at all. It's simply not intended for the faint of heart.
Consider it something to aspire towards, or ignore it and use Guild Warfare to get those last 5 gems daily.

how about high rank guys camping out in pirates killing any one else who tries to cross?
I been playing for 9 days i think, and not one sucessful cross. Rank 4 guild and only 5 active members left now. I was rank 7 on realm, but rank 2 guy camps out there and kills me every time. Or some other high rank guy from another realm.
I think priates should be for your realm only. then I might have a chance to catch him sleeping. But with all realms in there, there seems to always be some vip4 guy to come end my sail.

I hate priates and no longer even bother trying.... Game over, plus I am stuck at my lvl and power too. Nothing to tell me how to progress with out breaking out the $'s

I'm a relatively high VIP and I still get sunk daily. It's just a tough event to compete in. The rewards are good ones, if you can make it.
