WOW I just saw that video. Honestly I am really, really excited for this! This will be so cool! Haha, I can't wait...

Looks pretty awesome! I just hope that that isn't all they're going to be adding for PvP! I've been dying for new maps/servers just to fight my fellow pirates on!

Interesting... I still don't understand it all, but it looks like it will be really interesting for PvPers and SvSers.

Ok, I've gotta admit, I'm not much of an SvSer or PvPer, but this just might change my mind!

wait.. but how?? it's not even on test yet!!!!

Guess I can start getting aggressive with the PVP again.. buahahaha.

PiratesOnline released a "sneak peak" for everyone to see, so the update should be coming soon. Also, this is their info tab:

According to the video you get them for killing regular enemies as well, so I don't think you have to do SVS or PVP.

yeeeeeeee! now people can see how fightful they shall be!

I watched the video and saw nothing about killing regular enemies...Ship Privateering Infamy would be SVS and Land Combat Infamy is PVP...it would be nice if they did include any NPC enemies defeated...

My bad. I thought that one of the PVP parts was a guy and a bandit, lol.

Wow... this could go great with my arrest warrant idea to! fear me navy!!!

So, basically... kick PvP or SvS butt - become infamous then brag about it on your name plate.

LIKE THIS won't get abused.

I fear there will be boosting. As in I get a friend to make a low level pirate, we PvP a 1,000 times, or till I get Max Infamy.
Then he delet Pirate, I do same for him. Thats the only downside to this.

Exactly Joshua... you read this Amazon's mind.

Wow, you are such a downer. cant you just enjoy the update and not care about how other people use it?

Although the posts were worded a little negatively, it can't be considered as much of a downer as it is pointing out a flaw.

I can see a bunch of people running around, preying on low level players and privateers, or better yet, letting their friends sit around and do nothing while they blast away to rank up. This will end up with hundreds of pirates running around with the top rank within the first few days, claiming that they are "Gods" at PvP and SvS.

Back on topic, it's a VERY good idea overall. This will really bring back some interest in to the one area of the game that really needs revival. Can't wait for it :)

Well it will be fun to prey on the people who prey on noobs XD

Might be a good idea for it to only count if they are 5 levels or less below you. The person may not be afk as well.

Well they should have the points based on who ya beat. so say beating a 50 is worth 50, and beating a level 1 is worth 1. That way it is more rewarding to occasionally beat a good pirate rather than bully the little guys all day.

Hmm this can warn other ships your dangerous!

I sent an email to disney saying they should make it more diverse, so that includes cannon defense, fishing, land enemies, sailing (forgot about reviving people =( that should get a badge too) etc.

I'm not an avid PvP/SvS'er, but the added competition could change all that. It seems like a great addition. But as the posts before me state, all that will change if infamy is granted for killing level 1's all day to get max infamy in a matter of days. (Such skill...) I know Disney is trying to make the game more interesting, but unless they make it so that infamy cannot be granted for killing someone 49 levels below you, or as Celtics said, grant the same number of infamy as the defeated person's level, this addition will be abused 110%.

I hope that in the process of releasing this update, that they take this into consideration. It has the potential to be an excellent source of competition, but only if it's genuine.

Methinks this will lead to even more rampant PvP SvS misuse.

That's easy to remedy - Allow only X infamy point(s) to be granted from a specific person [per day?], so you are forced to go after a variety of randoms.

EDIT: Guess I didn't paint my picture clear enough.

Say you defeat my Lv. 50 pirate in PVP. From that 5 minute battle, you get X amount of points. But until tomorrow (or some other set amount of time), that's ALL the points you can get from me. You will have to PVP someone else to get more infamy points during that same day, week, etc.

Andaba will be packed.

i snese ship customization with this if ya look at the ship in the back ground u see it has navy sails :P i hope so lol

I really like how it can show your badges on your name tag thing. That's pretty cool, but I wonder if they'll have awards along with badges for doing certain pvp/svs things. that would be cool.

You probably get more infamy for defeating a more infamous pirate, just like leveling. Eventually, killing level 1 skeletons isn't as effective as killing Darkhart 10 times.

Hello that was a navy ship I think we are all seeing what we want to see.

That was a Navy Man-o-War in the Background Image. I also noticed he got +1 Infamy so that is probably what you get from defeating any opponent. We will have to wait and find out.

I never thought of it like that, but that's a really good idea.

But also, notice the ship's sails. That ship was privateering; the +1 Infamy could have come from defeating a Spanish ship.

I think PNC will be have a BUNCH of PvP/SvS events coming up soon ;)

In my opinion, I would want pirate infamy to take a very long time to level up. It is a great idea, but I definitely would not want everyone being done with it in a week like I invision will be the case. The longer it takes, the more people will be doing it, leaving even the mastered pirates something to do aside from grinding enemies and fishing.

Come on PotCO, make this a challenge!!!!

lol I agree! But us and POTCo seem to have communication problems :laughks2:
when we asked for a boss that can withstand some buss shots, we got smash that is basicly impossible to kill, in this case, it might ask us to sink like 20 million ships in svs :pirate6:

There is only two ships, the French Privateering ship, and the Navy Man-o-War. What other ship are you talking about?

So does this mean when you and your guild is ranking in enemies or ships you can track your progress before the boards come out the next day?

He didnt get infamy it an enemy ship nothing else

The French ship is what I'm talking about.

And that's what I was trying to suggest. ._.

Updates: POTCO just said (On there you tube channel and Video Comments) that they will be adding special Merchants on Privateering islands, in which you can exchange Infamy for Privateering exclusives, such as Hats, Tattoos and Scars.

Here's the quote.

Also the other Quote:

I think they need to make it so there are eitc/skeleton guilds that can actually kill players, and we can kill them. we could get infamy from them, and they would have badges for there rank like saying how much pirates they have killed. And it would give something to do for maxed pirates. epic or what??????

This seems very interesting... I just hope it doesnt increase the inferiority that is already very present in the game. For example, the PvP players that take it to the extreme instead of just for fun (not gonna mention any names)

Of course... more awesome clothes I can't fit in my inventory... although some Tattoos would be cool... and I would look awesome with a scar over my eye!

Wow that will be cool... I started clearing room for any type of clothes I get soon.... Hopefully these Prvateering clothes will be cooler than the Merchants clothing, and the tattoos will be awesome!

Don't get confused. They said Hats, I was the one who said clothes. So don't quote me on clothes.

Man, sounds awesome, I don't want PVP glitch gone though...

Also in that youtube link was recently posted this...

Sorry to hear about you going "bonkers" over the lack of a release date, The Crew is not prepared to commit to a specific date due to circumstances that could arise between the testing phase which could add delay to the release. This is just how it is. We want to really deliver a polished final product that meets and exceeds your expectations for Infamy. However, we are targeting an early March timeframe ... that's about as much info as I can divulge at the moment.

So believe it or not there is an actual month to have fun speculating over. (Not that this pirate will be taking that as law till I see it on the Grog Blog.)

the clothes...
 

i was the one who said i was going bonkers on there. They seem to answer question much promptly on there instead by email.
