Svs needs help!!!
 

/clap. Couldn't have said it better. However, I don't think that they need boundaries. Its fun chasing a Spanish ship all the way and finally sinking it at Padres.

It is fun chasing for a while however some ships will take you for a 30 minute cruise.
By Boundaries I mean not going beyond padres, ravens cove...

All the sailing skills work. Leadership is mighty helpful as well.

As for take cover, that's not fair because it says 75% damage, and they don't need to change that at all.

I notice that unless a ship has all its hull panels gone, that 75% less damage for take cover turns to about 99%....

Dog,. u say that cuz i think u not captaining ship when svs,. all svser captain know after use leadership full sail and ram not working.

Leo, you covered most of it...good job :)

And Dog, you really should svs more...more than half hour at a pop :)

Oh, I usually gun most of the time anyways, I completely stink at sailing :P

Great Suggestions Leo, except for the Fire/TC issue. I like the reduced damage better (now, I don't even need to have firebrand, lol)

I also like the idea of spreading out the bounty for a port/logged ship. My idea was to leave the ship in play, and only the player logs/ports.

Here is the link to the email form:
http://apps.disneyblast.go.com/cgi-b...nline/form.tpl

I copied and pasted your ideas (minus firebrand/tc of course....)

Not many people in SvS either. Yes, PNC and I had a hard time finding some ships the other day, even on Andaba. Maybe because there was a Moon going on, I dunno, but I tired of Privateering long ago. Got irritating/boring after a while. I might help a guildie or two, but not for fun and games anymore. It has turned into a horrible way to get gold and rep, so I just do a little "privateering" on some Juggs and the Colossus flag. :laughks2:

Thank you to those who are contacting Disney about the problems and suggestions!:wink:

Agreed Leo totally agreed. Svs keeps a lot of people playing because each day has different challenges that should be celebrated and the problems ironed out.
Its a game after all we pay to log on and play not to complain and report constant problems.

Whoa
 

Well done man, Everything said in the bugs is true and i think there can still be new suggestions to it I hope my email will help as everyone else is.
thx for the ideas :dancetl6:

SVS has gone down hill, we need for choices for colors of flags, distiguished countries that were in control and fought over the caribbean at the time.. pretty sure not just the Spanish and French fought over it, Bitish privateering colors.. theres already navy why not add a privateer British isle

I think thats the exact reason they don't allow us to privateer for Great Britain, because of the Royal Navy. If we privateered for Britain, it would sorta be like teaming up with the Navy wouldn't it? Other factions to add could be Portugal and maybe some Asian countries.

Svs
 

AGAIN GUYS, YOU CAN EDIT THE SUGGESTIONS YOURSELF, WHATS IMPORTANT IS THAT YOU SENT THE EMAIL TO DISNEY ABOUT THE PROBLEMS/BUGS. FEEL FREE TO SENT DIFFERENT SUGGESTIONS:Pirate3:

why's the chat so big? feel like i'm getting yelled at lol

:laughks2:
Trying to get it to your head lol and so you understand it better but really not the point lol, just try to email Disney the bugs and suggestions

Thank you - Leo:dancetl6:

Leo, I gotta say the support u have for this is a lot more than we are seeing in this thread, it would be great if people would add comments but even if you just voice your concerns with disney, back the cause, thats enough :)
You know so many great players have left us for WoW lately, they would have stayed without the constant problems... I know a few could be persuaded to come back if the problems are getting resolved :)

Aye, i totally agree. Many players have quit the game because Disney has not done anything for SvS and they mostly left to play WoW. Before A year ago when some of the bugs didn't exist, svs used to be great. I believe that if The bounty porting issue, Lag, and repair glitch are fixed many players may come back to play pirates and SvS. I ask that plz sent a email with the bugs and suggestion even if you don't do SvS. It will help many of and Thank You! :captain:

There's a lot of bias in that statement. Yes...SvS can be fun. And if it's broken it needs to be fixed. But SvS is hardly the reason people have left POTCO.

I all but quit playing because of the lack of new playable content. I was in a great guild, small but mighty. Each and everyone of them left due to lack of interest. For over two years I've played and paid and not the slightest glimmer of a new chapter. But SvS? Couldn't really care less.

I am going Basic at the end of the month...

Them: Dear Pirates Online Guest,

Thank you for contacting Pirates of the Caribbean Online.

We appreciate your feedback on allowing figuring out ways to prevent people from porting with high bounties on them while they are participating in SvS battles. We are always pleased to hear from our Guests and welcome your comments, as we are constantly balancing and making enhancements to the game to make Pirates Online a fun and safe place to play online.

The Pirates Team is well aware of the leaderboards and pirate directory not updating correctly, and are currently working on a solution to the problem.

Again, we appreciate your comments, and look forward to seeing you in the Caribbean again soon!

This one came back same day..fastest response ever. i know nothing specific or a time frame...lol...but still .....:zn3m6x:

Now EX you didn't understand the statement well. We were talking about old SvSers in particular such as most players from Black Shark Inc guild and many others that had SvS the only reason to play. We know they quit because of SvS because they made it clear and some still talk out of the game so we know they left to play WoW.
SvS does need some new updates and the bugs fixed.

I understand very well. This is the first mention of Black Shark Guild in this entire thread. While I agree that ANY glitch needs fixing, I still don't know a single person who has quit because of SvS.

Me neither.

Personally, it's a lot of entertainment for me. When nothing else is going on, I can sit there for hours at a time watching my bounty go up, and down, while my score just goes up.

SvS seems to be one of the more interactive things to do in the game. It's really too bad there isn't a PVP only island, where killing another player means you can get a random loot drop. Now that'd be some fun.

But back on topic, SvS could be more than it is now. The whole game could be more than it is now. Simply put, Disney doesn't have the man power games like WoW has. I finally accept that now. We'll get content eventually. The only people who will see the progress and like the progression of this game are the players that don't mind waiting five years for some good content. I'm ok with that, because in half a century, the game will be loaded.

SVS Issues
 

Well I been waiting 3 years for disney to improve game performance. Every update SVS seems to get worse. Lately tho. it has just stayed the same. Terrible rather than horrible. I have sent countless feedback on not being able to lock my ship from people tping. the front cannon issue where u cant shoot at anything behind the ship for hitting your own in the process. The repair issue (if they fix the locking ship --> no more repair glitch) unless u have someone teleport off but still...and of coarse the lag issue. year after year. I fully expect to see a cuba invasion before i see any improvements in game performance. Disney focuses on adding useless add ons such as invasions vs improving how well the game functions. I have sent suggestions on a separate server dedicated to just SVS only, eliminating random ships like Navy EITC ect. will help lag issues tremendously but til this day I dont think they have a team dedicated to the SVS area. I mean you all know this first hand. There has been very little improvements to Ship vs Ship over the years. Alot stop playing SVS for all the issues that are wrong with this area of the game. Hopefully Leo, by creating a thread like this it will get someones attention that actually cares. I used to enjoy being able to see people on other ships, they took that away. Grape shot is useless, all the special charts are useless, no improvements on speed, tacking, wind anything. I can go on about all the issues but trust me its useless. Happy lag everyone!

hahah, happy lag yerself !

You know for two years at least I have been sending feed back about the appearance of notices for special events like invasions and the fleet etc, I always freeze for a second as we get the notices, SURELY to goodness the lag would reduce considerably if we didnt have to endure them TWICE? we get them in green text in chat window and in a brown wooden effect box above that too, sometimes we get two messages at once so u see 4 messages, BUT WHY !! Im sure thats a five second job to turn off inline chat messages since u already have them in wooden boxes ?

Im sure we all have suggestions like this, but Im surer that the poor employee who has to pick up the bug messages sees my name on the report n thinks ' OHH boy not that mad woman again ! ' jk of course :)

SvS
 

How often or when was last time you SvSed? My friends and I can name you a lot of players who have quit because of SvS being left behind by Disney.

There r a lot more reasons why people have quit it is not just cause of SvS (noto and weapon caps, content) SvS is NOT the most important thing in the game, sure it lacks content lags alot but r u and ur friends the only ones who svs? I'm with ex8404 they don't just quit cause of SvS

Svs
 

Ok, let make it clear to you, theres a lot of players who only play bacause of SvS including me because we have grown tired of leveling,looting, etc. Many have already quit because:
-lack of SVS features
-Hackers
-Glitches
-and disney doesnt take svs as serious as other parts of the game
-Bounty porting which also resulted in really bad drama, etc
If svs were to be taken of the game i would quit and im sure im not the only one!(talking about svsers only)

well there is plenty more players for everything else then svsers, let's make that clear to you

Ok maybe a little mediation is in order. I think the point of the thread was addressed to people who love svs. A lot more people than just members of POF read these threads...just keep that in mind.

You guys can argue over who left what because of whatever, the original context of this thread is getting lost.

Uniting lovers of svs in the cause of petitioning Disney for improvements and fixing problems was the whole point....right?

I love to level my other pirates still...and help my guildmates on each guild when I can....and I love to svs....Its ok if some log on and svs...and log off when they are done. If thats your thing...cool.

Only hardcore, longterm svsers know how many have left game simply because of problems with svs....Leo is one of those...lol...and maybe he just wants to get the point across because....Ship pvp predates any mini game...and is the only competitive part of potco that is almost totally controlled by the individuality/learned skills and earned skills(when they work, and we are all at the mercy of those equally) , of the sailors and gunners.

Cough
 

Well said Molly! and thank you for brining us back to the main point of the thread. idk why some are trying to bring the argument of who left and who didn't. im asking nicely to plz help SvS become better but if you don't, ok. but don't argue here.:pirate2:

mhm its true, lot of the folks that made up Black Sharks Inc have left, Rare Jewels came from Black Sharks and many are indeed in wow. Not just Black Sharks either, a few pop back on with their accounts gone grey to see has anything been fixed and all we can say is no, then watch them go, with longer time between each visit as they realise its not changing. Very sad, because its obvious we all love the game but some thing needs to give.

Im still excited about the idea of battle axes and clonking each other in svs (check Midhavs comments in the Whoa this is good thread), but I wouldnt want to see those before the problems are fixed.

Send you're Emails
 

am sry but i think u made this thread just so more people would join svs just make u less bored, just my thoughts

How about Dutch Privateers?

Send you're Emails!
 

Metal, I'm not gonna argue because this isn't a personal issue but a game issues and as you see from many comments I'm not the only one experiencing them and if you want to argue send a email to my forums account.
Nate, a Dutch privateering isle sounds great mate but make sure you send it to Disney including the bugs/problems.
Thank You!

Aww,. that hurt me,. LOL

it got worse
 

Well I thought the maintenance was gonna help but it really seemed to make it worse. Player friends list is messed up and some ships skills were recharging faster than others(take cover, etc) although i think the fixed it back. last email i sent they said "We truly appreciate all your feedback for improving our SVS system. Please be patient as we forward your thoughts and ideas to our Pirates Online Team for further review in the future..."
Please post the respond you got from Disney on the email you sent to improve SvS.

Odd thing to say there, metal1081, Im sure from that comment that u havent tried svs and seen the problems that we are attempting to bring attention to.

Small matter that u have added 2 and 2 and got 5, the truth remains there are people leaving potco because their reasons to play are being clouded over by technical problems, like at the moment the players list bug, Im sure u have seen it ... reported the moment we saw it and still not fixed... its been what three days so far?
But I am very sure that in adding your comment that you personally dont care about the succesful continuance of all areas of the game and the communities that exist within it. We very much do!

HA i used to do svs got to boring with no one around, and disney bad at getting around to fixes they come with new updates, they have people leaving due to content more the svs that's there biggest problem and fixing stuff

Send your email plz
 

Metal please understand that this thread isn't for arguing. Many people are leaving because of content but I'm not talking for all players in general, I'm talking about SvSers/privateers however everyone can help to make svs better even if they haven't tried it or like it. After all were all here to enjoy the game with our friends :buds:

Thank you!

hmm
 

I got about the the same respond from this worker named corey except there was no "be patient". they did say that the ideas were being forwarded to game crew. i just hope it gets better

Updated
 

Will do sir, also hackers dont only exist in svs.I seen players speed and do other things in leveling and pvp and as you mentioned in svs. Some of them dont use programs, they hack the game files adding extra stuff or changing them and sometimes are detected by game crew. However I do agree that cheaters/hackers need to be lookd closer by Disney.

Another email sent with the updated info.

New Bugs
 

I've gotten runtime error a few time not in svs but i think its when you olay for more than 2 hours non stop

I'd like another privateering island or two. That way we could get into teaming up over different ships and sides, without it totally ruining privateering by having nobody fight. Just that kind of stuff along with double crossing and such to make it more realistic. I mean pirates hardly ever teamed up with eachother unless they were all part of a crew, and when they did it would usually involve lying and attacking back with surprise. Realism is something this game lacks in a few areas.

Svs
 

This is the Repair glitch.- its locked, you cant press it to fix it... I would post other bugs, but they would have to be videos.

when I try use leadership on SvS in test server,. i think they fix that one,. my full sail and ram do perfect, but repair still long even for lite sloop. i keep sending report to disney about sailing chart and globe not working,. hope they respond it and make my +3 windcatcher from my treasure hunter sea chart usefull.

Demonstrably false.

Explain please
