Two new islands
 

I'd like to see two new islands:

Isla Granada (Spanish) - an island with a small garrison of Navy that has a parade ground similar to the KH parade ground. Cutlass, Dagger, and Grenades would work, but Staff would be disabled.

Isle de'Staff (French) - an island with a small garrison of Navy that has a parade ground similar to the KH parade ground. Cutlass, Dagger, and Staff would work, but Grenades would be disabled.

Can you guess the reason why? :laughks2:

or you could just disable voodoo enemies to level up those weapons

Ah... the names... cleaver :)

But I dont see the need to ban a weapon - espically if you had 3 Islands of KH Type on each server... if now you can find a empty KH server in four server hops, having three islands on just one server would save lots off hopping :D

its a reasonable idea,now how big are they and where will the devs put them?

Not a bad idea, for individual NPC's. However, that doesn't address when you are at KH either:

A) Leveling Grenades, and some player with his brand new staff decides to come in and start decimating the entire area
B) Leveling Staff and some body comes in and starts lobbing grenades.

:)


Heh, I liked the names too.

I agree with you. If there were at least one more island with a set up like the parade ground at KH, that would alleviate a lot of grief for/from some players.

Sounds like a new approach to an old arguement that apparently noone will let die. ;)

How does that old saying go" If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem? ;)

Excellent quote.
Considering everyone has come to a conclusion already that works exquisitely...

Not to fond of this idea personally, but hey, more ideas on the plate... helps get a better product in the end.


Just because a solution is not solved the way everyone wants it, does not mean its not solved.

I must have missed a thread. What conclusion works exquisitely?

Wasnt my intention to cause debate ;)

Just stubborn.. sorry.

Countless arguments have come to the conclusion that not letting the situation bother you because its a game, and moving on if those causing the disturbance dont want to cooperate/share is the best approach.

This is a conclusion wether it be one that everyone is willing to accept or not!

I should just bite my lip, everyones just trying to improve the game, and put more ideas on the table. Carry on. :)

I think having 2 more KH type islands is a grand idea...

But instead of Navy, maybe have a field of high level EITC Assassins, etc...

And on the other island have 3 seperate jungle sections where skellies and stumpies line up...


These islands should only be available though to paying members Level 35 and up to help them in their journey to master their weapons...

i like nightwolfs idea

Yeah thats a good idea, I hate when that happens!

Would love more islands, and places to go, see and do also.

Getting impatient waiting for new content that suits my gaming style.. got me grumpy. lol

No debating here! LOL!

I posted it "humorously (as you already know :D ) simply because i was at KH the day I posted it, and of course, there were 4-5 people out there "fighting" about just this situation. I just moved right on passed them and into teh fort to do some leveling. But, it got me thinking, and voila! Two new islands came to mind.

So, what yer saying is, a new guild should be formed called Grumpy Old Farts? I know I'd fit in. Though I still like Agile-Hostile-Senile for a guild name.

I like your thoughts, save the having them for paying members only. I'd like to get some guys like Edward Edgemenace to be able to go and hang out on those islands too. His basic access lv40 could healt, or even get some rep, from helping others.

While I like the idea of new islands for this purpose, Captain Nightwolf's counter-suggestions sound deceptively like Beckett's Quarry and/or El Sudoron.

In Beckett's Quarry, go up around the bend near the cave tunnel and use long volley - safer than the Kingshead fence. Low level by the first tunnel, medium on the left tunnel, high level on the right tunnel.

In El Sudoron, go up past the waterfall and toss at the stump below.

P.S. Both Big Ed and Little Ed have blue names right now. But neither one gets rep from throwing grenades. I learned that lesson on the first pirate! :-)

There are two things I really don't like about Kingshead.

Number one is the enormous disruption caused by the invulnerability glitch.
Number two is the inability to switch servers. Put me on the darn dock, not Padres Del Fuego!

But there are dozens of reasons to love Kingshead:

Super-cool high level enemies everywhere.
Good mix of low-level mobs on the lower field.
KH invulnerability glitch is mostly limited to that island; most of the truly disruptive idiots don't know how to get off the island with it.
The glorious archway entrance. The beautiful 5-arch archway.
The level 35s in the maze section near the gallows.
A jail with a guard who is not asleep!
The exciting, terrifying challenge to level 20s, just trying to get their grenades for the first time.
The deceptively similar forts; similar enough to confuse the heck out of ya.
The mysterious "safe room" with all those things to search.
The fence!
An introductory quest that takes you through more than half the island.

I could go on and on, I suppose. Its coolness is unfortunately overshadowed completely, by the two items listed atop.

Having played for 7 months, I have had the 1st problem only 1 time ever and I use KH for leveling alot. How are people using the glitch causing a disruption? In my case it was an individual being inconsiderate and disrupting what we were doing. They could have done it just as well without glitching. Its not the glitch, its the people causing disruption thats the problem. Guns dont kill people, people kill people.


Would definately be nice if we could change servers and remain there (once there). ;)

Did ya Know in RL there is a Isla Grenada actually named Grenada and its in the caribean I think but its was actually first conquered by the French and later conquered by the U.S and another Caribean Island but yea just sharing it.

Its also a spanish city, funny thing.. I just learned this.

I thought he was referring to the island of Grenada the whole time.

Its fairly well known, the U.S. invaded it 25 years ago.

Yep, Grenada was the inspiration for my "Spanish" island. Since there wasn't really a good name for a "French" isalnd, I just incorporated the weapon into the island name.

BTW, if you want to see a movie about the Grenada invasion to rescue American students/civilians, watch Heartbreak Ridge with Clint Eastwood. iirc, it also has Mario Van Peebles in it.

Well Rackat they cant make Grenada Spanish since Spain never invaded or Actually Claimed Grenada Isla Grenada would have to be Carib, French, British, or American but whats funny about Grenada is they had a Fort named FORT ROYAL guess what island that rhymes with.

I will admit I do hate lag and sometimes I must island hop because of lag when a gernaid goes off especially.

I'm not fond of hey lets disable this weapon! However I like giving the French and the Spanish a main fort island. However lets step it up one notch let's give the British their own too. Hear me out on this one I know you might be thinking but KH. KH I feel is more of the EITC's base of operations. So in theory since the EITC is a trading company they would have agents from all European countries on their sides. Giving another island for example give it a name like "St. James" I am pretty sure that was a British colony in the Caribbean back in the golden age of piracy.

Also on that note, this gave me a cool idea of (not races like in a game like warcraft) but certainly something similar.

1) Padres del Fuego is I believe a Spanish name (though my language skills are a bit rough being out of school for a while now.) So how about making that fort a Spanish fort?
2) Why would we do this? Simply to give the Caribbean ore flavor. If each island lets say has three for each faction, 3 French, 3 British and so on it gives the options of a - more quests and b - the possibility of how NPCs react to you. If during privateering your taking on more French ships and go to a French Island you are really going to be saught after then if you were on the French side.

Either way I like the idea of giving nations their own KH island.
