Ok get ready for this a huge BOMB of a glitch

Auto fix privateer ship believe it or not!

All you do is when your ship needs a fixin walk up to the fix spot and press shift as always but as soon as he starts to hammer away switch to a weapon instead of escape and the spot will stay blue and your free to do the next one which will speed up fixing rate!!!! "BELIEVE IT"!!!!! ITS TRUE.

I found this glitch the first hour that privateering started so your all welcome i let the cat out instead of keeping this a secret.

just dont hit esc at all while its running and most of the time you can man a cannon while its fixing but dont grab the wheel either or it stops unless you need to get out of dodge!!!!!

THE CAPT MAKES IT HAPEN

i would like to see a reply to this one hehehe!!!!!

Well I always appreciate people sharing glitchs they find.

Although some could be misused, and should be fixed.

This one probably would have been best submitted directly to the developers or to a known game tester, so it could be verified and appropriately reported/fixed.

This if overused could mess things up a bit.

Well, its out there now.

The more its abused, the faster it will be fixed... most likely.

This is not funny at all. My guild and I had this happen today and already turned it in to Tech along with the drivers name and ship name as posted on another thread. Are people that bad at this game they have to resort to cheating on another player. Go practice sailing then ship PVP fairly. Im not a young kid or gamer at all but have been kickin booty in the ship PVP no cheating involved. Great team work within the guild and Privateering team is what it takes. If I see this going on look out I will and our guild members will turn you in for it. One thing to glitch against NPCs or to fly in the sky but this is low.

not to say that your crew has been auto pvp ship fixing

Nope didnt even know about it till tonight. We where having fun playing the game fairly. If they sink us then they sink us when we sink them even better. We do not need to resort to cheating like that. Just sore losers have to cheat to win.

you dont have control of what your crew does we barely have control when someone takes the wheel without permision thats wrong to but hey big d made it where any person on your ship can grab the wheel

do you think thats fair?

Not fair but ways to prevent it now isnt their. You can also grab it back from them. I have great crews between friends and guild members so I do not have this problem.

I just tried this, and yeah, it works as described. But, this is not the glitch I've witnessed elsewhere. Sometimes, people can sail while repairing. They can be sustaining damage while still repairing. THOSE are the glitches that sway the game unfairly. The "glitch" you describe, still has to be done in the safety of a hiding spot, with the boat not only stationary, but with the wheel dangerously unmanned. Thanks. It is cute. But not the treacherous thing I see all too often.

Of course, if there is some legitimate circumstance where you actually should be able to sail and repair at the same time, big-D really should have announced it and described it. Maybe have a training quest for it. But I think a lot of people would be happier if the whole "repairs" thing were just removed - at least for SvS. I mean, what is the point? You just come back, at your base, anyhow. In regular game play, trying to finish off quests, is when you really need the ability to repair.

Thanks man thats exactly what i needed some positive reaction to what ive posted your awsome for being honest, and yes ive seen these ships sailing with sail up and fixing what the is going on?

ive even seen ships with no crews while i was flying taking people out i would like to see that go
the glitches ive listed are not harmful just dificult to do

if you take damage while you auto heal you go down anyway!

thanks for taking the attention off me ,im not the problem here and everyone knows it.

I think people are over reacting this stuff aint easy

are pirates fair i think not, they take advantage of anything they can. i dont see where this would give u any advantage, but it is just another glich of many. enjoy !

It is an advantage over others who do not use the cheat. As far as not being easy the guys who used it against us used it twice in less then 30 seconds. Twice we almost had them sunk and their hull health bounced up. Again are you that bad at taking out others that you have to resort to cheating. Be grown up and play fair. If you like this glitch so much then take it to a quiet server and play it with each other not on un suspecting people or those who choose to play fairly.

If you were in my Guild, and I knew that you were cheating against other players, I would kick you out of the guild. If you want to do the KH glitch to level, that is one thing because you're not cheating anyone but yourself. But if you use a glitch against another player, then you are cheating yourself, them, and the other players involved.

It says one thing about you: you are a bad player that cannot win without cheating.

If you were good enough to win on your own, you wouldn't need to cheat.

This is not fair to other players imaine your a spanish ship you have and a french ship is chasing u. U have a speck of health and he has a little bit left you do that cheat and man a cannon and start shooting him with thunderbolt and he sunk and it said_______(spanish) sank the ___________(french)! but who really won there was the french ship cause hes nice enough not to cheat.

i dont use it but it doesnt bother me if any one else does, i just be a humble pirate enjoyin the game, just wish other could, and not complain about every thing that really take the fun out of it. i dont think if someone uses a glitch we should label them, because any one that glitches will have the same label. let just get along and enjoy playin.

here's what websters has to say

Main Entry: 1cheat
Pronunciation: \ˈchēt\
Function: verb
Etymology: 2cheat
Date: 1590
transitive verb
1: to deprive of something valuable by the use of deceit or fraud

so if your ships bounty is what i deem valuable (or i'm trying to complete a quest) and i can't sink you because of the use of in game bugs and glitches then by definition you are cheating.

do i care that people are taking advantage...in the grand scheme of things not really. after all i certainly can use the same bug/glitch if i want to because it is currently available to all players.

do I use the bug/glitches. No, because i take some level of pride in my abilty to be an accomplished sailor.

but, as previously stated, the only time i have found this behavoir annoying is when i'm trying to complete a quest or collect your bounty and then i am direclty affected.

i admit, i wanted to see if it worked but it did not.. lol.. maybe they fixed it.. idk, but i'm glad i did not figure it out..

There's a little word I know of, it's called accomplishment, and I don't believe you've even heard of it, captaindruidblade.

It's a very low down thought when you believe that taking an advantage over other players in SvS is considered "cool" or "easy". You're ruining all the fun for all the other, fairly-minded players out there.

I have took out LOTS of Spanish ships, got to lvl 40, Rank #4 Overall Enemies Defeated, I did that all without any method of cheating what so ever. And by doing this I actually have a sense of accomplishment.

Hmm, i bet dev's will be seeing into this one sooner or later.:piratewheelgo2:

I wonder if the DEVS actually use glitches O.O. I know a few that do but not naming them..

privateer glitches
 

I want everyone to know i only find these glitches and post them
doesent mean im using them i love finding them it gives me something to do at
lvl 29 basic acces im only upset at all the negative feedback ive gotten
not even one person has stated way to go druidblade for finding these lets get them fixed not even one only down with the witch and other insults i have got.
just so you know your not badding me for a glitch. i see down with the witch
is religion discrimination i think that should be in a hate forum not here

I am a real practicing witch of paganisim these kind of insults are more wrong
than finding glitches so that i can post it.

i was doing you a favor just posting it . im playing privateer with no cheats and am not doing well due to the ones realy cheeting.

so if i auto heal my ship because i know the person blasting me is cheeting hey thats my choice.

Sure i will use one if someone is cheeting against me and i will assasinate them.

too many glich haters here

COME ON WE ARE PIRATES

we take advantage of anything, and everything!

we dont care whos a better person, just who wins :buds: :piratewheelgo2:

I think the confusion and anger comes from the fact that you posted it as a glitch to use, rather than as a warning. "Most" of the players on these forums despise cheaters and will do whatever is within our control to make sure they do not get away with their cheats. I appreciate when people post glitches that only effect the player using them. Most are harmless to other players. I also appreciate when people post glitches to cheat against other players. Posting the second type of cheat does two things:

1) warns the other players about the cheat
2) those of us that despise cheaters start looking for a way to counter the glitch

I am sorry that you felt attacked on a religious basis. I would hope that the Admins/Mods would help with that. But, I also know they can't monitor every post 24/7.

Hope to see you in game!

Rackat

i definatley agree with ya ;) 100% thx for the glitch dude :piratear:

Thank you for posting the glitch. I hope it is removed soon.

ok, so, tell me, what do you WIN?

money?
fame?
free game?

puleeze.. you dont win anything, you dont even "beat" the game..

you only master a pirate and weapons, then what? NOTHING.. LOL..

to play more, you make a new pirate, to do what? THE SAME THING.. LOL..

no master pirate for me, why? so i can continue to play the game, have fun, and do it on my OWN MERITS :D



oh, thank you for posting how the glitch works, it should help disney figure out how to fix it easier...



i have friends who are of "alternative" religions, or lack there of, so, i'm sorry you were offended by attacks based on that
i personally like to meet people of different cultures, religions, etc.. and learn from them about thiers.. afterall, isnt that why we are given brains and voices, so we can learn and tell people things?

an on and on it goes! play and enjoy the game

Noone here has said anything about hating glitchs.

I do find that players that use them to cheat, and boast accomplishments they didnt fairly achieve, and deserve no respect or acknowledgement for are despicable, have poor moral standards, and have alot to learn.

Even Pirates followed the code......Most pirate codes prohibit cheating other pirates........

Real pirate code from Wiki found here.

I have posted a few of these as well and there are always those who think its just a huge crime or something. So I wouldn't get to excited about some people worried about some secret that might get out.

As for this particular glitch being used I can't say I have seen it too often, maybe one, two times possibly.

Like many glitches, a lot of the time its not that great when you try to use something like this, when your full concentration should be on the ship about to sink ya.

I do have to wonder how many people think people are using this glitch when in actuality, they are playing smart. I have had barely a little red on hull left with a war frigate with a full crew pounding on me. Some little galleon runs up and wants to try to get its shots in, thank you, sink that in a quick stop, and now my hull is half healed. Now the war frigate has a challenge left to it.

Sinking a easy or wounded target on the side of the main damage coming to me has saved me more times than I can count.

Looks like last night's update fixed the ability of a single pirate to repair more than one spot simultaneously.

Hahaha, it looks like Disney is actually looking at these kinds of posts, captaindruidblade, it's actually a really useful advantage for them, with you showing off these glitches.

Yet other glitchs remain for months... and months...

Fine by me, but just shows, that the glitchs that are REAL problems get addressed, others seldom do (for those feared of mentioning them that they might be fixed...)
Kings head jail... still works... been posted for quite awhile... ;)

The length of time required to address a glitch may more have to do with the difficulty of repair than the "real"-ness of the issue.

I figure the multiple repair glitch was a pretty easy fix, hence, fairly rapid turnaround. The Kingshead glitch will require a major revamp of the mapping software, and that will take a bigger release cycle to fix.

Well, there are dozens of Kingshead glitches. I assumed from what he wrote, that he was talking about the invisible & invincible KH glitch, not the harmless "no soldiers" glitch.

The SvS multiple repair spot-glitch was probably easy to find in their code (being so recently added) fairly simple to fix once found and of obvious importance to people (causing a lot of disruption.) I am glad they addressed it.

Yessir, thats the 'glitch' I was referring to.

Im glad they are fixing glitchs as well, particularly any that drag the systems down, and/or can be used to cheat other players.

I take what opportunities I can to promote individuals posting glitchs here in the forums, so if they are REAL problems they can become better known and hopefully resolved. Those secret ones only a select few know and arent telling will remain, and provided they can be used for cheating, cheating will remain. Disney is playing a numbers game. Why stop 1-100 cheaters, a waste of time.. when it its the 1000's it starts effecting others game play, gets thier attention, and gets fixed.

In the same situation, a glitch that doesnt harm anyone, cant be used to 'cheat', is actually used by members to have fun, etc has a lower priority and is likely filed to be addressed later.

I have no doubt that the 'ease' of addressing a glitch also plays a role in determining what is resolved now or later as well (as Whiskey referenced).

1. Can you go on a cannon?
2. Can someone be driving the ship while its repairing?
3. When you exit the cannon you push esc., so if you can go on the cannon, how will you get off? Push F1 or something?

Thats all I want to know

See now guys im not so bad, i wanted this fixed to
despite the fact that i used it against people cheeting against me.

but theres another way thats funny more than cheeting and im not telling
because of all the bad rep i get from everyone

oh and so all you know im the reason that the auto fix ship glitch was fixed
as my gift to you all try it because it was fixed if u dont believe me

oh and they did not even put the fix into the release notes wierd hu
guess they wanna keep this one hush hush

but as i said before if it was not for me it would not have happened

so keep the insults coming !!!!






And to those that fear the posting of other glitches

just so u know people some of these glitches are intentionaly in the game
for people who like it it keeps them coming back and paying.

kingshead come on now its obvious that this glitch is intentional
your invisible so people can not report you your invincible and
its imposible to leave kings as either invisible or invincible


these things are there for a reason and theres many others big d
does not care about like flying and so many others .

if you knew anything about the creators of this game you can see that.

oh and i was not braging about the glitches i was making the auto fix ship
glitch sound like a real problem otherwise it would not have seemed like one.

you people need to quit group slaming and read into a persons real intentions
before you jump into a word war cause im the real thing .

The issue with repairing while sailing is that yes, you can still take them down,but only with your strong side full and high lvl cannoneers firing and even then, your only doing the minimum damage allaowable becuzz they are keeping their hulls repaired, Its very aggrevating to chase someone down that had a sliver of health only for them to turn around and attack you at full health again. It takes away from my enjoyment of an entertainment service that I pay for and therefore needs to be fixed. If this is not fixed soon, Ill just stop paying my subscription. disney needs to fix it pronto or others will follow suit.

captaindruidblade,

I'm sorry people attacked you for posting the glitch. It just goes to show how adamant people are about cheaters. As I said before, I don't think it was the factt hat you posted it, just that some misunderstood the reasoning behind posting it. I for one appreciate it and I am VERY glad they fixed. I got on a server where there were no SvS going, and got my ship damaged just to check if they had addressed it, and they had! I was so happy to find it fixed!

I went and found a server with SvS to check it against other players, and it was apparent the cheat was not working. I love it!

Now, I may go and finish the French and Spanish quests. LOL

I think the key here is that if your going to post a glitch, its best not to present it like:

hahaha I found a glitch, and I can cheat with it!!!

That attitude will get negative feedback everytime for the reasons Rackat mentioned.

Many have posted glitchs without recieving the response that captaindruidblade did on one other thread. Delivery is everything.

I played for a couple hours the other night and it was totally great. No cheaters (I don't think)...just one guy in a light sloop. After a couple of good battles (most of which he won), his health meter quit showing up when I was hitting him. Tried to sink him a couple of times and the health meter would only show up if i rammed him. I think I was hurting him, but it just wasn't telling me. I switched servers after his health meter quit showing up. Next server, no problems...all health meters, everyone getting damaged and having fun.

Now if I could only get a crew....

I have also seen this happen. I wonder if it was intentional, or if it was an unwelcome failure of the software?

I hate the cheats on this game. I have experimented with some of the glitches since the game first started. I never really used any of them but at first thought they were kind of cool.
I now hate them all and am constantly turning them in even though nothing seems to get done about it. SvS is out for me. I have yet to be in a battle that did not have at least a few people in glitches even on the test server. What fun is that?
Today a level 33 asked me to do a PVP. I am close to finishiing off my fourth level 40 and i have always kept my weapons really weak so i can level faster. ( and without using glitches) So since my level 23 sword is about the same as most level 15 swords I agreed to the pvp with this guy thinking it would be a fair match. We agreed on no dolls or staff (Mine are maxed anyway) It was supposed to be only he and I. So when the match starts he has a person not only healing him but also throwing knives at me while trying to hide in the background.

ROTFL - You clicked YES to a PvP and were surprised to find cheating? POTCO team battles make SvS look like a bastion of fair play.
