Hrmm..

I've not even started playing. Dunno what nations others will be playing, so I started a Dutch character. My old Warhammer/PotBS guild was run by a Dutch couple & wouldn't be surprised if one or both eventually started playing. I'm sure all my gaming friends & acquaintances will be scattered to the six national winds anyway. :))

Heh! Thanks Asid.

Some day we'll meet up in a digital war again. On the same side, of course.. I can't shoot the big guns as well as you. :)

I'm going to be Spanish. So many nice Ports! On USA/NA Reserve PvPTWO -- as MengAreciebo or something. Maybe MengIago? Or Iago y Meng? MengDiego!

I have definitely wishlisted this for later contemplation.

It may be MMO, but it seems possible to play it fairly single-player; the game characteristics would also seem to discourage rabid asshats griefing your game for their amusement and profit.

(Except for, you know, the pirates, duh. ;) )

Clearly Pirates were the "asshats" of their age.

Ahoy!

Well, I done shoved off from me home port in a fine little skiff, flyin' the flags of His Right Royal Majesty King George, may God bless em.

Now I'll be senden' you scurvy dogs to the bottom of Davy's Locker faster than Jack Ketch'll take yer head!

So are we calling this a "must buy" or a "maybe buy"? I'm looking at it, and I'm feeling this weird moist feeling in my loins, but 40 clams, man...I gotta be sure I didn't just leak or something. I am 45 after all. ::)

Swatter · January 21, 2016, 05:41:53 PM

I am curious to hear opinions about actual gameplay.

SirAndrewD · January 21, 2016, 05:50:39 PM

Well, first run seemed fun. I took out my 12 gun starter and was immediately drawn into a huge brawl against a French Frigate.

Put her down in about a half hour of combat.

Really pretty so far. Bad UI on the port.

I haven't got the hang of sailing the ship, but I was able to get a few solid volleys. off and came away with some quick gold and xp.

Everyone seemed to be having fun in social. Maybe not quite worth $40, but too early to tell. First foray and I'm having fun.

You spent just as much on a crap mp shooter, why not spend it on something actually unique?

Toonces · January 21, 2016, 06:55:18 PM

^ Good point. :-[

At least the 40 doubloons spent 'ere goes to the cause of makin' this schooner ship shape and able to sale for a long time and take on more crew.

There be times a sea dog has to invest in the ship so's he can bring a bigger prize back to port.

In my thinkin' I spent me gold on a few sailors that deserve a reward fer tryin' to tack into the wind rather than float in on the easy current.

Ain't so bad really. Better'n a night with Salty Kate back in St. Kits and the Grog Ol' Stumpy serves up.
