Pirates with flags, but no names
 

Has anyone else seen other players in the game where they only have a pirate flag over there head, but you can't see their name or level? If you click on the pirate, you can see a name ...but it doesn't change the view in-game.

My guess is that they are such a high level (compared to me) that I can't see the name/level?? Anyone know?

it's a bug that they still haven't worked out, i'm pretty sure. i almost never see my name or level above my head and only half the people running around have info. some of them have flags, some names, some have all of it.

That always happens to me. I always thought it was my internet but now I know I'm not the only one. I hope it gets fixed soon.

Not to mention, some are purple (or blue or pink or whatever color it is. lol) as well. Have no clue what it all mean. Figured they would have fixed that already.

It's no bug - a pirate with no name is in a guild. The color determines how difficult the other pirate is to beat in a PVP.

Ahhh ok, I never considered guilds. Can a pirate only belong to one guild? If so, that makes sense to me, because hiding the name tells you that you can't add that pirate to your own guild.

why doesn't it show your name if you're in a guild? is it like was said above? so you know not to add them to your guild?

I always thought when a pirate has a flag it means they're in a guild.

With the no name thing, I just figured it was a bug. Sometimes I see my name and sometimes I dont.

Don't know about the flag as for the colors...I thought gray meant they were in a crew already and blue meant the person is not in a crew.

lol And I always thought gray meant they were groggy and blue was full health :p

Haha, well this still seems to be a big mystery. I know one thing, though. If their name really disappears when they're in a guild that kind of stinks. Come on! Just because they have good friends they play with means I can't see their pirates name and level? Seems silly.
