That's just where the zipper is, I think. o.o

The artist is http://www.furaffinity.net/user/tsukikitsunetanuki/ Usually, a furry artist, but she draws gud non-furry, and she isn't Japanese. XD

Q&A / Re: How to handle silent or noncommunicative crews

( here I'd like to thank LeonXross, AbbyTheRat, Tropo and others that didn't kick me out because I was level 4 and gave me a chance first )

I've played with Tropo many times, even whooped his butt. He's awesome. :3

Q&A / How to handle silent or noncommunicative crews

« on: May 17, 2014, 12:30:45 pm »

We've all been there. You join up a random game and before you can ask what the captain expects out of you, the match starts. It is only in the middle of the match do you learn that no one is talking. All questions you ask to try and be a team player goes unanswered, and you're just running around like a chicken with his head cut off because no one is communicating any orders or enemy positions. This of course, not only frustrates me, it infuriates me. If I complain about it, or tell said team on text chat that as the manual says, "Sealed lips sink ships" you can better believe that I'm going to be argued over it. Of course, arguing in this case just means the team throwing insults my way, or to tell me to, "stop crying".

And then there are crews that talk on their own little VoIP (Mumble, Teamspeak 3, Ventrilo, etc) leaving you completely in the the dark. Rarely do I find an issue with the ingame voice function, and leaving even one crew member in the dark is like sabotaging your own ship. If you're gonna use the third party VoIP, bring a full crew into the game with it.

As anyone who would come into this forum could tell you, is that this game requires a massive amount of teamwork and communication. This reasoning is also probably why this game has such a low player retention.

So what do you do? You could leave, but leaves are tracked. I always stick it out to the end no matter how angry I get at a team or captain that's completely silent. You could try and push your team to communicate, but, at least for me, that always ends badly.

What other options are there?

Feedback and Suggestions / I want a beard

« on: December 07, 2013, 09:04:01 pm »

My name is Captain Wafflebeard. Yet, there are no beards for sale in this game, only mustaches. Do you see my very excruciating conundrum? It's almost world-ending.

Hopefully, the devs will drop everything that they're doing on this game and put, "add beards" on the very top of their to-do list. We pirates of great skies need beards!
