'nother busted invasion
 

Ok, so the last invasion on Bequermo tonight went on till 11:20. Ya seriously. I didn't get any screenies, but the guys started coming in pairs again. Finally we just let them run through, and when the 2 guys on the right broke though the East Wall barricade, finally Jolly showed up. Dunno what was up with that, but wow, a 50 minute invasion? Good grief!

Was this in Open?

The one I attended at 9pm central went just fine. Powder Keg Runners and all. It was also reported by some of me guildies that the afternoon one went fine as well. This was Tortuga on open.

Curious as well if they are not all working the same on each server.

Captain Whale

I was able to attend both invasions. The first one that Captain speaks of did go fine & we attained a victory. Then, I tp'ed to Bequermo. Quite a difference in the two, but ya have to admit Hawke, we did have fun with the glitched invasion. Got a whopping 300 reps for it..lol!Reports were sent to Disney, and I'm sure they are working on it.

Had to add this: Thinking of the two skellys trying to break through the barrier is still bringing a smile to me face. That took longer than some invasions! Maybe JR forgot to sharpen their cutlasses! Thx DW for allowing this pirate to join ya. It was worth missing some sleep. I needed a good laugh...

No problem on the two invasions earlier.

Thanks Hawke and Lizzy for the update. That is strange that one server would differ from another.

Captain Whale

Strange, but ya shoulda seen it. These two undead spanish guys working their way, very slowly I might add, up the hill, a bunch of pirates following. At one point a group of us was standing there cheering on the skellies, telling them to hurry up and destroy the barricade! Something we never thought we'd do in an invasion but was seriously funny.

There was also an undead gypsy-many of the undead come forth from the ground. But when I tried to target this unluckey skelly with my staff, he sunk deeper & deeper into the ground then vanished!
One of the Spanish skellys did a dance around me...guess he was celebrating finally breaking down the barricade! Poor undead were a little confused, methinks...
Well, the best part-I didn't go to jail even once!

LOL - too funny

I can see why the gypsy made a run for it. Ummm... where's me mates and OH SPIT!!! >run run run<

What a funny invasion.

Now that the invasions are on Padres they last forever!
I was in one today and the enemies never stopped coming.

Got stuck in a busted PDF one tonight for the first time. Enemies only coming out 2 at a time. Finally we decided to let them take the barricades to see if it would restart it or at the very least end it. It took the little guys awhile, but after they took down the fourth barricade, Jolly came ashore and we were able to end it. This seems to be a random issue, talked with others on different servers whose invasions went off with no problems.

Yup, got pictures from Exuma, but none from Bequermo, where it also happened. Will post in the morning, it's late.

Yeah, unfortunately I didn't find it too amusing and left. I tried helping the skellies get through the barricade, but my cutlass appears to be cursed. I tried pushinhg the skellies to get them to move faster, but they seem to have no substance to them.

So, in a huff I just split.

Ok, got the screenies for you. From Exuma, main beach barricade.

We tried cheering them on, we tried threatening them

but that didn't work either. We just had to let them take their eternally long way at it. But eventually they did break through both times, and Jolly did show. If you find yourself on one of these servers, you might just want to try letting them pass. At least till D wakes up and fixes this.

why is that there
 

:hagrid::spongebob-ani:try it try it you wiill not get it :zu02zq:

Ok! I have been in exactly 2 PDF invasions on open. Both of them were total wastes of time.

The first one, we had a nice size crew split between the 3 beaches. The waves started attacking, and I was on the beach nearest to the jail. We were on the 4th wave, and all of a sudden we saw the message that JR was coming ashore. There were still about 15 Skellies on our beach from the 4th wave. We never saw the last 2 waves, and we never saw Jolly. The next thing we did see was a message that we had lost.

The second one was last night. We were between the 5th and 6th wave and it stuck. One skellie per beach would spawn, and that was it. We let them take down barricade after barricade until all the barricades were down, THEN JR showed up. Not until after every single barricade was destroyed.

I've seen the release notes for test for today, but somehow I doubt that this is totally fixed yet. Back to the drawing board, Disney!

So JR showed up after all the baricades were down? Thats not right >.<. Every invasion I did on padres was never ending :/. So i'm not going to do any more padres invasions untill they fix it.

It appears that it's also certain servers. From what I've been told Bequermo server invasions have broken 3 of the last 3 times. (This is, when someone I know is fighting them, Saturday and Sunday.) Fragillies also broke twice this weekend. It seems to be some servers are more affected than others. Something in those servers themselves perhaps? Next time they announce invasions, I think I'll put this theory to the test.

The glitch does seem to favor Berquermo & a few other servers. Maybe DW is just tooo scarey for the undead army! lolz
(Sorry, I couldn't resist saying that-I have many friends in DW)
Seriously though, hopefully the fixes on test will work & the PDF invasions will go off as planned when released to open on all servers. I realize every guild has it's favorite server, but maybe until then, y'all could fight on another one? Just an idear....

Ok, so did a little watching this invasion, little learning. I was going to just watch the invasion on Bequermo, see what happened. I was alone on there, so it was gonna be a true test. Just after the first wave destroyed the first barricade it occurred to me that if I didn't fight no new waves would come. :mybadki6: So I busted out Kat's staff, and she singly handedly fought off two waves of undead. Third wave, Jolly came. Kat got discoed, but by then there were 2 others fighting besides my second pirate. (I play with 2 pirates almost all the time.) Anywho, they beat Jolly, Kat didn't make it back and so got no rep. Oops. But I learned a few things.

First, a single high level pirate can defend a server IF they stay behind the barricades and use a staff.

Second, when Jolly comes said pirate is outta luck. :laughks2:

Third, The enemies are way way easier for singles.

Fourth, You're only gonna see 2 waves if you're alone.

Fifth, most important, Bequermo server is NOT broken, the invasion did go off fine.

All in all, worth the loss of rep on Kat, cause I know what she did, and what I learned from it. The odds are still low here though, 4 outta 5 Bequermo's didn't work. Just a thought.

I haven't seen this glitch yet but I've noticed the skeletons will keep moving after dying but they can't hit anything I was on blanada there were a few people the first few times I played
but the second to last was just me and a friend and the last was just me we won them all pretty easily but mostly because there were so few waves for me to fight blanada could use some more help though
as long as I fight jolly roger on a quiet or empty server he can't get me

I attended an invasion Sunday night and 2 yesterday. Believe all were on A oceans and well attended by other pirates. By the fourth wave, there were a lot of undeads pouring out of the water. Did not experience any glitches what so ever. Have to agree with others, it's ocean specific.

And also learned that Jolly does not have to show to win. The Sunday invasion had undead popping out of the ground by the entrance to Beckett's Quarry. The group of pirates there could not hold them off and the undead proceeded to take the city wall down, at which point, the invasion was over and Jolly won.

As I posted in the Helm...attended 2 invasions of PDF on test, yesterday & both went w/o any bugs. Didn't see any Powder Keg Runners, but it was fine. We pirates had our hands full.

i dont like busted invasions...

Actually Ray, A servers are not immune. I got a whisper from a friend on Saturday that Abassa was running an invasion. Tpd over, and the one from almost an hour before was still going. I just think specific servers are more prone to glitches is all.

Hawke, good to know. Hopefully live will get the updates shortly from test since I am hearing the main issues are fixed. I have only experienced one glitched invasion on live and since the updates were applied, none on test.

I, for one, have never experienced a glitched invasion. I've done five Padres invasions in-all.
One on Tortos, and four on Navermo. I don't know what you guys are talking about how all the invasions are glitched, and you think Disney is letting you down by releasing them. You should still give them a try, try them on Navermo where I haven't seen a glitched one, you might change your mind.
All I have to say is, most of the invasions are not glitched.

While I'm sure quite a lot of people have yet to see a glitched invasion, they are a pill when they do happen. That said, some pirates (yours truly for example) just seem to attract glitches at a higher rate. It could also be that some of us tend to frequent certain servers, and my guess is, that a server which has had a glitch, unless it's been removed, will glitch again. After all, the programming is embedded in the servers, no? Just a thought.

Hawke,

You are correct when you say that the code is embedded in the server. Would you please list a few of the servers where you are experiencing the glitched invasions? Would like to partake in a few. Txs.

Capt C Ray

So far the worst offenders seem to be, as stated before, Bequermo and Fragilles. Camaros broke at least once. I think it's kind of hit and miss, you just have to be there.

Hawke,

Thanks. Will check them out next invasion I'm on for. Fair winds.

when it was bugged (is it still bugged?) i was on my lvl 50 pirate i noticed when i used the grenades and the skellies "died" it was showing up as a lvl 6. which is why it took them forever to tear down a barricade


(padres del fuego invasion) foot note no kegrunners in padres why not ? lol

I have done a invasion all by my little ol' self. We lost :P Mainly because it was just me and my friends. We got to fight jolly alone and of course died. But, the enemies died with only three hits at most of flaming skull. Took alot of running. But however, it was not glitched.
