How to change pirates for the better

[mattp169]

Besides the fact that we are all getting Lefts every single day since the last patch, once that issue is corrected I think the following should be implemented.

Instead of receiving 1/2 the rewards for setting sail and half the rewards when you finish..

Pirates takes 10 minutes to complete

So for every minute you make it you receive 10% of teh full rewards.

If you are sunk in under 1 min you receive nothing.
1min to 1:59 you get 10%
2min to 2:59 you get 20% etc etc

Oh and bring back the sail reset when you coin

Looking at the log on server 7, looks like people are completing pirates every 5 minutes or so on average. I don't think everyone is getting lefts.

[mattp169]

well check the logs for server 1 and all the other people on the forums complaining about this problem. Dawn you an intelligent person, you know what is happening on one server is not indicative of all servers. Lots of servers are complaining that 80% of all maps are lefts. You are much better then this Dawn, that reply was well below your standard of excellence.

And thanks for ignoring the resetting sails when you buy gems and the actual changes i suggested

Yeah, must be nice to be server 7. We're apparently averaging one every 2 hours and change on 54. The beach has been blocked all day by the top two guilds on the server. Everyone has lefts. I finally saw a space and grabbed it for my guild. Not sure how many people we have on server 54, but I'm fairly confident more than 6 people should have had rights.

Joyful. 16:34, someone else can finally sail. In keeping with our 2 hour trend.

I think the present 1/2 at start and 1/2 at end is good enough.... it would add a lot to the program codes having to time and calculate rewards for every sail. there are enough problems with the code as it is with out adding more complications to it

[mattp169]

Ok kalatron you have a point about making the code more complicated. but i like my idea better the half just fro jumping in the boat, You are being rewarded for doing nothing.

[Justified]

We made a post about server 58 feel free to go back through the logs and check it out. I am lucky to get one sail in a day because of all the left hand maps that are given out across the board. Heck feel free to log in and just view Pirates Caribbean. Every single boat is boarded with a lh and no one is stealing them because no one has a rh at all.

My suggestion would be to look at instead of making it a RH and LH simply make it a map piece. This will increase the action in pirates and wil give everyone a chance to actually sail instead of waiting for 12 hours to find out that everyone has the exact same map piece.
