Limited Time - Clear The Decks for Flatulent Fizz‏

[Bubba Bunny x]

You got me there, and I have to agree that POTCO has been making some very strange choices. But I shall remain loyal to the game... The world is becoming a strange place, its already bad enough that they got this kind of stuff in cartoons o_o
So from cartoons..... To games?

[Machazzard]

I agree and disagree on many of the things you guys are saying. Sure, it is a little rediculous that they put out a farting potion, but who cares. I really don't think it's a big deal at all and don't quite understand your anger at this. If you don't like, than you don't have to participate. BUT for some, it is enjoyable and funny. I'm not saying that I'd laugh, and it may just be the child in me, but farts are funny. For those of you think that it is the end of the world when a natural bodily function takes place, that happens to make a funny sound, maybe you just need to take a chill pill. I mean really? We're going to fight over every little new article that Disney, a company that is directed toward a younger audience, puts out? And some kids do have manners and etiquette, but I wouldn't want mine to be a stiff. Kids are kids, and things that adults might not understand to be funny, are most certainly funny to them.

That is just my opinion, and I'm not trying to offend/or take stabs at anyone, but seriously, get over it.

i used the potion and it's just a regular flatulent fizz.....

I think that you are way off base if you think that we are fighting or that I am angry at this. I agree farts are funny. And everyone releases them. I agree that some kids have manners. However most don't have them. Kids are kids yes and Disney is directed towards a younger audience. I just can't remember a Disney cartoon or ride that promotes poor manners. Funny is funny regardless of ages. That doesn't mean its correct. By that statement I guess that the next step for POTCO is introducing kicks to the groin.

The potion is already there. The main point is why waste time promoting and introducing things that will annoy others and are pointless while they can do so much better as far as small content and entertainment.

I agree, I wouldn't want my kids to stiff kids either, however I would want my kids to be farm animals either.

I'm not looking for a fight here. When I first saw the potion, I was disgruntled at the fact it was introduced with the new update. I understand that to some people it is amusing. What bothers me is that young kids see this, and then mimic what they see in game in real life. When I see kids who intentionally pass gas or burp out loud to be obnoxious and to get a reaction I question what kind of behavior that will lead to in the future.

Either way, the potion is already in the game. Fine. I've adapted. I avoid crowded servers and lower the volume when I hear it. But I believe I am still entitled to voice my disapproval of this potion just as you are entitled to your opinion.

Bottom line, I don't see how this potion deserved encouragement through advertising.

This is ridiculous, we should be getting codes for something less kidish.. sorry but i'm just saying :/

[Nelly Darkpaine]

Just more proof that this game is going to heck in a handbasket. =(
Used to LOVE Pirates Online, now I can't even stand logging on for 5 minutes due to stuff like this. Bad move.

[Edward Edgemenace]

The current development team is trying to see just how much they can get away with. Sadly, there is nothing to curtail their irrational decisions, that are getting worse and worse. Why they needed to add more lag and 5-15 second game freezes, for this, is a mystery to me. I guess I just can't appreciate their genius.

Perhaps they've gotten it out of their system, with all this. Perhaps they will now sit down to some real development, now that they have gotten their way. Until then, I'll be holding my breath (but not in anticipation.)

Sorry if I'm breaking my one year "exile" from Pirates Online (not because of updates, but RL), I just thought I'd reply to the comments left by some of you. From what I can see, some of you are saying that kids actually find this funny. Let me get this straight for you, but I AM a kid. I know of no one but irrational idiots who find fart jokes funny. No one from my age, as far as I can remember. the only people who WOULD laugh at this, are some five year olds who know the meaning of the word. No family friendly game should put this in it if they want children to learn something or the other. From my point of you, even if I did have the Flatulence potion, I would immediately dump it in the disgrace the adults working there have shown to children. Aren't they targeting 10 year olds? I know I'm a few years older, but it just isn't right, even for me if I was that age.

Please note that this ' new potion ' is a regular flatulence fizz. This is nothing new and you only get one. If you can't handle it take off the volume.

At least you cannot smell it .

See? I knew there was a bright side.

Seriously. Turn down the sound or stay out of Abassa. Or give it some time. Flatulent Fizz was all the rage on test when it first became available. Now I never hear it.

But I have to admit. The first time I heard it I laughed. It is pretty amusing for a one time joke. If you heard it and didn't laugh, I get that too. If you haven't heard it and are here to complain, you need to relax a little. The average human poots about 14 times a day. Even if that person has their nose up in the air.

Nobody is going to learn life lessons from a kid's game. You want grown-up? Maybe you are looking in the wrong place.

I've not been playing for a while, but really, what's up with this? At least they could make the potion give you scurvy or yellow jack.

This is a bad direction.

[Kraken Guard]

Farting isn't going to bring about the end of the world. Dont like it? ignore. Plus we're pirates, we steal, we fight, we drink rum and plenty of other "Bad mannered" stuff. I suppose swinging your sword or blasting creatures in the face is more appropriate for a kids game..


Besides, this is not a kids game, this is a 'Family' game.

Because kids, what's more fun than sunken eyes and tooth loss and muscle pain? Oh yes! Old scars opening up so you can slowly bleed to death! What pirate experience isn't complete without Scurvy Soda!

If tooth loss isn't your thing, try the Yellow Jack Juice! A 15% chance your pirate will be dead in days. But not before he (Or she! We can't forget the ladies!) has vomited blood, had irreversible liver damage and a high fever! FUN!

Again. If you want grown up realism, you might be in the wrong place. Don't complain about what we get. Do what I do. Complain about what we DON'T get. New chapter anyone?
