this is lame very lame...., i think after this is over everythings gonna come out IT BETTER!, i think there stallin so they can get it in the game, if they dont realease it another month maybe alf of the game will quit..., they need to fix this lag problem its been here since beta and when the game was released...

[Dr. Zeppers]

Im not having that many lag issues. Perhaps only in intense fire fights/ship battles, or in situations that are obviously laggy moments.. 100's of pirates all in the vacinity being mischievous with their staffs.

I take that back, I have had lag issues on my older under powered computers.

I believe the award is if you are actually around to hear them say something other than, "Where's the Marceline Guild?" They may say something about a possible update. And even with a story quest, they have added nothing to impress me or even make me want to go back yet. I could really care less to do another story quest though, and really, how long could it last anyways, all that's good with it are the Boss Battles, collecting stuff you don't even get to see gets really old...

[warriorpoets]

Not true, mates, not true at all.

they've set up the event to make you think that it's built around the EITC, but actually, on some servers, they have a Marceline Guild member on ahead of them who can give information before the EITC shows up.

In truth, this isn't a hunting mission, more this is an effort to plant story telling clues in advance. Be patient, mates, they are, in fact, building to something.

[Erich Uchiha]

Well, heres some info that I found out this morning.
-According to the EITC the Kraken is a weak, made up , wives-tale
-This is odd, in the movies I don't remember EITC saying Mate all the time LOL but they did
-The GM said sails are changing on the sea (? didn't really get that part)
-Jolly Roger might be helping the EITC

This is what I'm hoping too, which is why I go to all of them.

I keep waiting for the moment when the Black Guard really does capture the Marcelline guild, and we have to rescue them, resulting in a huge story quest that ends with us sailing the members of the Marcelline guild past the Kraken...

Okay, I'm good with fantasy, but still...

[Magic]

I have seen them.

~Why not give a little logic to this I say, mate...~

Kraken: Probably because they are either lying about its production and just saying that it will come along. I am not getting high doubts that they will release it thanks to that.

EITC: That be because they have no clue what the movies were like probably, they go around and do as they please while we say, MAKE SUM'TIN.

Sails: I think that this may possibly mean something along the lines of something I thought would come out around SvS. The changing of your sail colors, but will that be all, or will we get full ship customization and possibly more islands and stuff. This could possibly mean anything, but we will hopefully find out soon enough(AKA: in the next year if we're lucky).

Jolly: Probably so, and the reason being that they can't afford to lose any more soldiers on either side, they're spineless, you don't see us running to get help from the navy though..

- The Kraken I think is being designed as a co-operative between the Jolly Roger and EITC. Think of it as a Manhattan Project for POTC. Ergo, makes sens to deny it until the end.
- I use "mate" a lot too. Dunno too many more Pirate words to use, sad to say.
- The last two points are where I think I've stumbled on to something and it's so subtle that it's brilliant.

OK, since, what, right after Christmas, the Marceline Guild has been leading the raids on the EITC and sinking their ships, right? Along with the stuff with the Black Guard, we've been led to believe it's all just fun and games.

I thought the same thing too until I was doing some skeleton ship hunting and noticed something interesting: the sail remains on the skeleton ships look like EITC sails. Once I had that piece of the puzzle, it all came into focus.

The EITC is baiting the Marceline Guild. They WANT ships to be sacrificed, they want the raids to be successful as it gives Jolly Roger an increase in his army. Hence my theory of a deal: Roger gets his army by EITC getting fed to the Guild, in return, Roger unleashes the doomsday option on the Marceline Guild in order to finally shut them down and give the EITC control of the seas.

It's all a build to the Kraken, kiddies. That's why everything has been going on. The raids, the island redesigns, the Black Guard, all of it is built into a long in-story explanation as to why the Kraken is going to show up at all.

This is my theory at least, take it for what you will.

I actually enjoyed yesterday, but only because I ran into three of them on a pretty quiet server. Played along with their "interrogation", which was un-enlightening...



but they did ask one big question:



whatcha gonna do...sigh

I have thought about the EITC working for Skeletons for months, but the problem is that it is just like a monster with no body. You can't steer a ship without a stern, much less have an alliance if it doesn't show that the skeletons and EITC are working together. I'll be honest, your theory would be good, but I highly doubt they ever had anything like this in their minds, and if they did, well it'd be somewhat of a miraculous bout.

I actually do believe Jolly rogers army is sided with the EITC, Because today the Black guard said that the EITC were being aided from a stronger force, when they were out numbered.

[Erich Uchiha]

Me And Swash II where on a roll today finding EITC, Turns out us Pirates and the EITC ended up having a war. Antassa is where all of this happend

First Squad of EITC


Since I was the highest level there they started asking me ?s about Walter. Then me and the other pirates that where there drove them off. And According to them PIC is the next guild to be hunted down after Marceline.


Then came another EITC Member then he got "Backup" which was where it got intresting


Then after that they brought us up and started "arresting pirates" This was pretty funny a girl started flirting with the EITC until the EITC guy said "STOP, I am a married man."


Then Captain Walter to the rescue! The EITC and Walter started arguing


Then Walter ordered the pirates too Attack!



Then the EITC started surrending, with Captain Walter yelling YOU ARE OUTNUMBERED SHAW! (I stand with such proud pirates as Zep )


Then the EITC Fled we won wahoo! Heres Walter giving his victory
Speech



Sorry about the Screenshot sizes I don't know why they turned out like that

[AdmiralSavvy]

Great screenies, Erich. Perhaps I should start attending these things more often.
