Dueces Wild Scavenger Hunt, II

[Aliese]

I tested screen capturing a bit last night and it was still quite broken for me...but we all know D doesn't like me.


ETA: And Cass is now a whopping level 5...

The issue with screenshots overwriting themselves (ie not changing their names) is a directx issue as far as I can tell.
Its always been that way, discovered this problem when using Vista (Laptop does not support OpenGL), and discovered the fix playing with API settings on my XP system at home.

I had the same problem, changed my API to OpenGL (which luckily my system supports), and the problem disappeared.

DX9: Press F9, immediate rename screenshot or wait a couple minutes.
OpenGL: Press F9 to your hearts content, it works as expected.

Tomorrow night is the first night of this 2 night event. If you are already in a crew for it, start planning when, where and how you are going to meet up. If you are signed up, but not in a crew, don't worry. I make the rules, so I can bend them. I will make sure that you get a chance to participate.

Please, review the rules, ask me any questions you may have. Since there are less restrictions than the first time, it is going to be harder for me to keep track of any issues once the game begins. It's better to ask your questions now.

List will be posted around 8 PM Eastern tomorrow night, results MUST ne posted No Later Than Noon Eastern on Wednesday. I'll be going by the posting clock here on POF, whixh does run a few minutes fast.

Lastly, I will make a new thread for EAXH crew. That will be for your screen shots. Please post your results in your assigned thread. Someone, or more than one, will have to email or PM me with the answers to the questions.

See everyone there!

Lastly, I will make a new thread for EAXH crew. That will be for your screen shots.

Got It! I stickied them to keep them easy to find, we can undo that after the hunt is done

Just read the post that Jess MAY have her new puter by tonight. Now, if she can get it, and if she can get it to work, and if she can load and run Pirates, and if she can make it ingame, she is on PETR team! Already added her to your roster. (Why you would want her,,,,,is beyond my comprehension!!!!) ((Teasing, now don't go starting to cry.))

Scavenger List

For the evening:
Don't forget the rules of the Scavenger Hunt.
Random teleporting guidelines are suspended. Teleport at will.
You can use any server, or change servers as need be.
Purv may teleport to any crew at any time.
Sections 1, 2, and 3 require screenies and all crew members must be in the screen shot.
Section 4 is questions that you must answer, you can split up, or do these at time periods when not all crew members are available.
Don't forget, any screenies that are posted/ or answers that are PM'ed AFTER 12 NOON Eastern do not count!
Don't post the question answers in the threads, PM or email them to me.
Since the Scavenger Hunt is a two night event, each night is separate. You cannot get credit for items from the first list if they are not posted by noon tomorrow.


The list:

Section 1
Fighting Enemy Bosses.
Screenie's required. Remember, all crewmates must be in the picture.
For each enemy Boss that you fight, you receive 2 X that Boss' skill level.
Example: Samuel in Beckett's Quarry. Team one fights him and he is level 15, they get 30 points.
But when team two fights him and he is level 18, they get 36 points.

You are only allowed to claim credit for each Boss once! No double credit for fighting Samuel twice.

Bonus:
If you fight 12 different Bosses, 25 points bonus.
17 different Bosses, 50 point bonus. (total)
21 different Bosses, 90 point bonus. (total)
Possible points for this task are Variable!

Section 2
Boss Battle
Now that you have battled the Bosses, go do a Boss Battle! Anyone can initiate one! You can only take your crew of 4 (5) pirates. Verification is by a single screenshot of your crew on the Pearl with the Goliath in the scene! (You have to get past all the bridges!)
75 points for the Boss Battle screenshot, a bonus of 25 extra if you add a screenshot that proves you won the BB. (The Pearl with your crew aboard sailing off into the sunset, the Goliath health meter showing that it has sunk.)

Section 3
Find Lars Sceney
Screenshot required.
Lars has amnesia again! He doesn’t know who he is, where he is, or anything about his past life. He has no memory of any friends or the guild. Find him! I will tell people in-game information about his location and which server. If I am not ingame at the same time as your team, the other teams (if they don't cheat) will tell you.
61 points

Had a blast..and being that my Cat was not invincible in any form or fashion.... Davy will probably see the go to jail stats jump for DW...

(As a lv 13 playing with a lv 34 and 3 lv 40's ... I quickly learned to stand aside.. heal..and take pics)

Lol the only way I survived to ride the BB was to quickly get my lvl 13 baby outta the way...

But that also explains how we had all 5 of us remaining at the end of the BB.

Thanks again for a great night...Basil!!

I think I'm gonna have to make it up to my family tonight..
