Pirates to Become Infamous! 2/3/11
 

Pirates have many wish lists and requests but a few are always constant - Pirates want more challenge, adventure, customization and reward! Check out what the following Pirates have been saying:

Robert says, "How come there are no events or contests that are PvP related? It's been about 3 years since the game was launched, they never gave PvP any real attention ..."

Other pirates have gone on to say: "Can't you feel that they are going to do something major to PvP?"

Leo proclaims, "... I play this game because of PvP or Privateering..."

There's no getting past these Pirates who hold PvP and Privateering so close to their hearts. In honor of all Pirates who like to prove their worth battling in the player vs. player realm, we would like to formally introduce:

PvP Infamy Rewards

http://a.disney.go.com/pirates/onlin...ge_Display.JPG Infamy will be two new and seperate experience tracks that will be earned with every victory you achieve in PvP and Privateering.

This experience will earn you special badges and rewards when you meet certain achievement levels. The rewards will allow you to customize your Pirate's name tag with Infamy Badges which you can proudly display for everyone to see. Show everybody that you are well on your way to becoming a War Master (PvP) or Admiral (Privateering)!

In addition to the badges and ranks, Pirates will also be able to use their Infamy to purchase unique items from new Pirates who have washed up on Pierre le Porc and Garcia de la Avaricia's islands.

In addition to all these new features, there are many concerns that will be addressed regarding PvP and Pirvateering. Long gone will be spawn kills, kill steals and cannon/weapon exploits. Please be patient as we prepare this release for Test. We will keep you fully informed here on www.PiratesOnline.com when Infamy is ready to be tested and released. Keep checking the Current News for more details.

Prepare to duel, Pirates!

Sounds like a reason for people to play more often! :D

Look at that, we even got a shoutout to one of us here on POF!

I'm really anticipating this to be quite the update - the one that might just bring us out of the dog days of PvP and Privateering. I'm going to be as patient as possible, as I know this is going to be a hefty one - and kudos to Disney for finally answering the prayers of many disgruntled fighters and sailors alike!

very interesting :D

I'm really looking forward to this update, too. I'm glad that Disney's taking their time with this one, and that they're also addressing our concerns over cheaters. I was pretty worried about that. ._.

Anyways... when this comes out, I intend to both become a Master of War and to live up to my "title" as Admiral Savvy. :piratewheelgo2:

This will finally give me a reason to start SvS'ing.... Unless it is a planned event with my guild, I'm not a huge fan of Pvp'ing. FEAR ME, Andaba!

"Long gone will be spawn kills, kill steals and cannon/weapon exploits."


I have high hopes for that.

Sweet! Finally I will actually do PvP and SvS...

Looks like POTCO finally answered our requests and prayers. About time!

War master, I like the name of that..

Maybe these will give me a reason to Privateer and PvP! I can't wait! And as for those tattoos... ooooooohhh.....

EDIT: Look at this comment on the Grog Blog:

I always thought the GMs were better than to reply with replies like that....

I was a little shocked when I saw that to.

Reposting what I said on the Grog Blog:

I am very much looking forward to this! I am so excited to finally display my skill to all of my friends (and enemies). I was, however a little bumbed to see that my infamy goes down whenever I don't play. Does that mean that I have to PvP/Privateer to not lose the points, or do I just have to log in to not lose my points?

I'd also like to vote that once you rank up, you are safe on that rank, though your points can be deducted to zero on that particular rep bar, but you shouldn't go down in levels themselves. Either way, great job Potco! Another GREAT update!

Well everyone knows i'm epic already. just another reason for pwnage.

This seems a little like Wizard101's PvP ranking system, but in many ways different. I like it.

This looks......... interesting !
too bad I'm gonna lose my membership soon -_-
what a waste a couple of months ago :sadmh9:

I always thought the PVP Infamy stuff and their rewards were just scrapped concepts. I'm definetally looking forward to this!

Long time no see Speedway! I think because of the game delays they are prepping for the release. Just a thought.

Same here, looks very cool and oh yeah Savvy please start calling me Commodore O'martin :P :bookishfj7: :piratewheelgo2: :pirate_flag:

this sound like fun except for the times some have to work or stuff when u cant play and the badges go down in who much u energy u had.

With every release there is a disadvantage.

Finally... something to actually look forward to doing besides the quests... and a reason to finish mine.:laughks2:

I'd like them to add barriers for ship vs ship battle so the fighting stays within the two islands and discourage fleeing privateers.

i wanna have GUILD VS GUILD PVP! large scale guild vs guild pvp! THAT WOULD BE.... AWESOME~!

I'm not entirely sure how this whole buying things is gonna work, but it sounds cool.

Aye, for a long time my friends, guild and I have been asking for bug fixes and something new regarding SvS as i'm sure others have done the same for PvP. Our Patience seems to have finally payed off and i'm hoping that all will go as planned. As of now we will continue to be patient as it's the only thing we can do and let the game developers take their time and do everything right. Thank You Disney:piratewheelgo2::pirate41::pirate_flag:


And for the point deduction, From my understanding as long as you play, points will not be deducted and either way it is only one point per day so i wouldn't worry about it much...

It's similar to how you get to use weapons depending on your level. Here instead you will be getting to buy stuff depending on your rank.

Congrats Leo for your voice to be heard! I cant wait for Imfamy!

Hope this goes live soon.
