Arr-rrgh! Black Pearl Boss Battle

[Sarah]

ROFL!

If you or any other Pirate were to try and rescue The Black Pearl by your selves, it
would end in utter disaster.

Thank you,

Jeremi

Kudo's to Jeremi for not sending a canned response...but boy is he wrong. I know of more than a few of us who have soloed it, and done it several times. Me thinks most of the POTCO staff has never made it past the tutorial in game.

Thanks for the Giggle Mars

I find this tends to sway with each update... one time you can do it quiet easily - the next update they make it so hard (usually with the bridges) that without a crew of 5 or more you just sink - then the next update its a breeze again....

I think ya gotta hit them in-between the right update

That seems to be what's happening.
I haven't been able to win a single boss "solo" for the past month.
The farthest I've got, so far, is the last set of forts.

I would so like to thank the heavy hitters- Sarah, MacIronhawk, Edgemenace and MAXIMUS for weighing in, I feel like a real pirate now. Thanks to all you guys.

I managed to get myself in the boss battle with one other person and it was very easy. I didn't win but I made it up to the last two forts before battling the goliath.

I wonder if there's some sort of difficulty system.(or players are less organized when they have a big crew.)

I don't think its how many are in crew. Instead of how many ppl r in crew, I think its how often/frequently the forts+ships are being attacked on is the rate that the ships+forts fire back at the Pearl. (It's noticable when you're with a bad crew who doesn't wanna grab a cannon but rather run wild on deck). That's why you should have a crew with ppl with high lvl in cannons that can aim well at forts+ships & know where weak spots of the ships are to destroy them faster. I think that's also sort of the reason why Firebrand makes ships+forts fire back more often than normal coz of the 20 seconds burning effect...makes them being "constantly" being attacked on, hence they react more & attack the Pearl more. At least thats just what it seems to be like to me...

I've done BB's with a variety of crew sizes, I don't really notice a lot of difference but I'm not even sure how hard even a BB with a big/full crew, coz it is pretty rare for a whole crew of 12 to b teleported without anyone being left behind or if you all make it on board, ppl will be booted offline all the sudden. Either that or the BB will b glitched and you'll be stuck at a black screen or end up landing on the beach or dock
