[Captain Jason]

A week long coffee break? I doubt that...

Dolls are very effective weapons, but they can easily be countered. throw your dagger and them.

You act like throwing daggers always works. It doesn't break their attunement each time. I know the tricks to breaking the attunement. Yes it is effective, but as of the new weapon update when they added power to healing and even stronger dolls, they need to sort of adjust the power of such a weapon. It's no worse to jump around than run from your problems.

[SEAKING23]

Its really easy to break there attunes'. dolls are great weapons. nothing wrong with jumping, its just a strategy.

[SEAKING23]

I just try to use what ever i can to win. i'm not that type of person who cries becuase i can't fight back. i just find away to counter it and destroy them.

[Roger Sharkshot]

Aww Test is closed and my computer just got fixed after a week this stinks

[Captain Jason]

I always check to see if it's still closed. But of course, it is. What could they be doing that takes so long?

[Roger Sharkshot]

I went on live chat since i wasnt getting the closed message just loading and they said it will be closed unditerminably but open by the end of the week

I love how "this is the players game" seeing as how all I have seen that I requested were a few islands, 2 were the SvS islands, which I love SvS, but islands were practically useless. Then you have the Raven's cove filled with Ghosts.... Which aren't exactly my favorite enemy, seeing as ghosts were sort of a 50's thing that everybody thought was cool back then. Then it is time for the Badge system, a decent addition, sadly i have yet to test it more because POTCO is having their Christmas party or something. Then the weapons system, which really, I don't mind not having the legendaries, I just feel like their should be accomplishment weapons. Sure there aren't many thing to accomplish, or are there?

It would be easy to give weapon and XP rewards based on how man ships you sunk in a single outting, how many ships sunk total, what kind of ship sunk and how many you have sunk overall from that type of ship. How many times you went to jail, how many brigands you killed, how many skelly's you kill, how many overall enemies you have killed. How many time you have stunned an enemy, or maybe even how many kills you have earned with a doll. Hope you get my point. But I do wish there were more weapons with skills like Silver Freeze or captain's resolve. Maybe even an application gem. A single use gem that can add a certain skill based on what skill you earned through completing that trial(the skill would be a Rank 1 version of the skill if earned in an easy type or trial).

A system like this would take a bit of time to make, but let me be honest. it would definitely keep me in game, and it would give many founders/older players reason to come back and finally reach level 50.

God when will they open test

[Tiberius Fireskull]

My comment for those who think something is "unfair" in PvP. Nothing is truly unfair. If you are so skilled and I am able to beat you because you can't counter it, then you are not skilled. If you are just that skilled, you should be able to beat me anyway. Honestly, I bet I could find a way to beat someone using a powerful broadsword if I practiced enough... although there is a point where something will become cowardly, mainly doll. That requires almost no skill to do, and is just irritating and cowardly.

[SEAKING23]

Its not cowardly when you have a way to counter it though.

[Tiberius Fireskull]

Its cowardly because they are too scared to get near you, and resort to hitting you from a distance. Its different with guns because they can get closer to you. With dolls, its almost impossible. If you have a jumper, you can beat them with a broadsword, but with doll cowards, you need to try to break their attunement, which isn't always too easy.

[Roger Sharkshot]

God still closed now it looks like they wont open until Monday or late tonight because Dev's don't work weekends man I wish they would just open it.
