Skeleton Sea Offense?
 
Today when I was on POTCO. I got a message saying:

Skeleton Sea Offense
Jolly Roger Has Launched A Sea Offense! Many Skeleton SHips Now Roam The High Seas, So Get Ready To Face Them When You Set Sail!


Anybody else get this? What does it mean? I never got to see the sea offense because I had no ship and there were no public ships. If you were there could you post pics. I saw one pic in the wiki but it only showed the message.

:pirate91:

I had this notice pop up at Midnight POTCO time

http://i52.tinypic.com/2z8nrq0.jpg

I hopped on my ship to see if maybe it was just something that was accidentally leaked on live
- not like it hasn't happened before -
It seemed to me to have a lot more skellie ships sailing around
Unfortunately I didn't get a screen of the seas
But from what I saw the waters are very thick with Phantoms
At one time I had 5 of them on my screen

Kat Five Knives 10-22-2010 01:53 PM

They did this with EITC ships right before the islands were redesigned. This was not done on test that I'm aware of.... I wonder what jolly is up to? Also if I recall guildies were having problems finding navy ships for quests during this time - hopefully they only added and did not subtract. Gonna be crowded on the seas lol

Miss Graywolf 10-22-2010 04:02 PM

ya I've noticed it too and boy there was a lot of Death Omens, it was the best time to level up Cannon :piratewheelgo2:

Is this on test server, or on the regular servers? if its on the regular servers, it must mean undead treasure fleets, or lots of cannon rep. :D anyways, we have no idea where this is headed. Sounds like a fun time tough, wonder when it will be on the news.

Midhav 10-22-2010 05:24 PM

Maybe it's to make up for the story for the "rum blockade" in the Raven's Cove Story Quest? Highly unlikely though, as this quest seems like it will never go off, and they can't have an offensive forever can they? There's some story to this, but we'll have to wait and see.

Jamesvsthekraken 10-22-2010 05:40 PM

Maybe....:) :D xD

Maybe we'll end up battling against Jolly Roger at sea, Remember like in that trailer/TV spot for the game? :) :/

Aye Midhav,

Sharp as always mate - I think ye may be on to it. The story continues........

The event is on test as well.

Jamesvsthekraken 10-22-2010 09:15 PM

We need to act now... :) :D xD
 
Well, mates I think I can speak for most of us and say we need to do something and act now before it gets worse. :) :/ :bookishfj7: :piratewheelgo2:

titanic95594 10-22-2010 09:43 PM

So many of them look like they went a little over board.

CarribeanThunder 10-22-2010 10:46 PM

If Jolly Roger really wanted to destroy us, wouldn't there be more Storm Reapers, Black Harbingers and Death Omen everywhere, not just around Padres? At least Beckett did a better job invading Padres with the EITC Barracuda - EITC Juggernauts all around Padres...

Jamesvsthekraken 10-22-2010 10:56 PM

Well, remember... :) :D xD

Not only is he losing his army, or whatever, he's apparently losing money to afford more than a ton of Phantoms in low-level areas...
...He doesn't want to really destroy us...

And now, the Dark Cobra takes on 14 Undead Ships, 6 of which remain off-screen in this screenshot...

Mason 10-23-2010 12:55 AM

This could be a sign of an undead treasure fleet. Disney said the idea made sense when I asked them. However, this could also be the beginning of an interesting story development.

Joshua Coalskull 10-23-2010 02:35 AM

Yeah, with Navy, EITC, and maybe Undead Treasure fleets, or whatever, we pirates need bigger and more powerful ships!

Hmmm... I'm not too sure about that... But a final battle against the Undead army&armada seems possible with the current story advancement (Cursed Blades to end JR, etc.).

Undead treasure fleet eh? From what what's been happening, it looks like Invasions are intended for JR only, and the same applying for Treasure Fleets with the Navy/EITC. It sounds interesting but I don't think it will come, for a while at least. And I think D already stated that the Skeleton Sea Offensive was part of JR's Halloween surprise for this year, so this MIGHT not be something new

All Hallows' Eve is approaching and its powerful magic is spreading throughout the Caribbean. Jolly Roger has been using the magic of All Hallow' Eve month to his advantage.

There's your answer.

Jim seapaine 10-25-2010 02:25 AM

cool!!!

now i have to reinstall pirates again so i can enjoy this crazy skeleton-yness

Stormchaser 10-25-2010 09:32 PM

This offensive is keeping my back-up pirate from getting grenades. I can't find one EITC ironwall. Looks like I'm going to have to wait until after Halloween.

Jolly Roger Increases Sea PatrolOctober 22, 2010

All Hallows' Eve is approaching and its powerful magic is spreading throughout the Caribbean. Jolly Roger has been using the magic of All Hallow's Eve month to his advantage. First, he made land unsafe for Pirates by unleashing the Curse of the Muertos Moon. Now we hear he's going to create havoc at sea for Pirates too!

From October 22 - October 31, Pirates will see an increase in Skeleton ships at sea. Gather your crew and get out to sea! Don't let Jolly Roger get the best of us, Pirates. Attack and sink any Skeleton ship wherever you find it!

From disney site doesnt anybody ever go on it anymore

Luckie OClover 10-25-2010 09:59 PM

Actually when this thread was started it was BEFORE the game site had posted the information regarding the increase of Skellie ships,
However the seas were LOADED with them at Midnight Pacific time when it was announced in game.

& yes people do read the POTCO home page, Dog Firestack posted this quote on the 23rd. :pirate6:

Tyler The Tyrant 10-25-2010 11:38 PM

Absolutely zero Marauders at sea now. The tracker won't track because there aren't any!

Roger Sharkshot 10-26-2010 12:00 AM

oh ok got it

Sith kinght pirate 10-26-2010 12:22 AM

there will be some on some servers just keep looking till u find the right server that has them

hebam64 10-26-2010 12:44 AM

I am trying to finish a quest, but no matter which server I went on I still did not fiind any Man-O-War ships. I think this sea patrol is a little out of hand especially when u can't find the ships u need to finish a quest. I wrote Disney about this problem and we will see if they fix it. Anyone else having trouble findiing ships for quest?

No offense mate but ye are not looking hard enough. I have been assisting guild-members, and friends find the very ship ye speak of. In the past two days I have been party to the sinking of 20 Man-o-Wars.

All I did to find them was start at the bottom of the server list and visited every one till the ship in question was found. Tedious yes, but do able. I found it to be fun trying to avoid the skeleton fleet while hunting other ships.

There out there ye just got to earn them! Good luck!

WitchdoctorDan 10-26-2010 11:23 PM

I have several pics of this. Pretty soon I will be the SKELETON SHIP PIC MASTER OF THE CARIBBEAN!!! :laugh: But seriously, I posted some pics in the news topic. It does get creepy being surrounded by skeleton ships while cower... I mean, waiting out the Muertos Moon.

Tiberius Fireskull 10-26-2010 11:37 PM

You can probably still access the Man-O-War flagship that sails from Kingshead and by Avaricia. I don't think they got rid of Flagships did they?

Jamesvsthekraken 10-27-2010 02:24 AM

I saw a few flagships... :) :D xD
 
I saw a few flagships, and a flagship of a Man-O-War the other day. :) :smiley: :Hrolleyes: :laugh: :pumpkinani: :pumpkinani: :h-skull: :130: :cheesy: :shocked:
