I dont get what your saying.. Your saying we cant have a doll that looks like Jolly Roger? im talking about Voodoo Doll's like this one..

[Nate Swordwalker]

FAther's Day quest is now active on Test.

[Raikel]

Hooray for Targeting ammo that doesn't hit ships who have picked up your wealth already. Have to shoot at the before they get an exclamation point, or else it will land right behind them in the water.

For everyone asking about the Davy jones doll, yes there is one, but so far there has been no spotting of it.(most likely because Disney wants to wait until Davy Jones comes to the game)

There are also a whole different class of cutlasses in the files that haven't come out yet either, and pictures of drops for davy jones weapons.

Back to the real topic, cannon defense. I'll try to post some screenshots, but it's really fun. While it's a bit different than regular cannons, it's still fun like it is out at sea, only these bandit ships really test your speed.

EDIT: Here are some screenshots.



Cannon defense is much harder than I expected it to be. Alone, I was only able to get to the forth wave, and then lost. With help, and a gazillion mine amos(yes, mines!), we were able to get to seventh wave, but then lost.

And I'm sad to say, your navy cannon level goes back down once you lose. It's not like you can go back and be level three or seven again. It's really upsetting, to say the least.

And the highest level I see is eighteen, and if we were only able to get to the seventh wave... well, this cannon defense is going to be really tough.

A notable but, too. The ships aren't smooth when they sail, ever. They'll be sailing, and then stop, and then sailing, and stop. They do stop when getting loot, but they also stop when it seems like they shouldn't, making it feel like a really weird battle.

But with al lthe bugs and all, it's still really fun.

I wonder if they'll let basic players use the firebrand

I like this game once I got the hang of it. The main thing i have noticed is that a new game will not start until all of the current players have all left. I think there really needs to be a message at the end of the game that states this. I have noticed a lot of people in the game who just sit there after it has finished. When they do this, and you try to start again, you will just see the end of the last game and cannot do a thing. I have sent them feedback about this.

[Eliza Creststeel]

My friend Angel managed to hit Level 11 and mentioned things like Scattershot or something similiar that fired multiple grapeshot style rounds.

I've not managed to get beyond 6 myself so far, but what a ride!

[Rannulf]

What is the reward? Rep? Gold? On the new mini game?

Can't wait to see the new dolls! Hope daggers and staves are next!

[Beorn]

I have made it up to level 13. There is a scattershot ammo. After that is a powder keg ammo (you get 9 shots for 500 bucks, not really worth it). After the powder keg there is a super strong shot that if I am remembering correctly gives you 50 shots. (I can't remember the real name). This one is well worth buying. You can shoot three shots before reloading and they are about ten times stronger than round shot.

As for a reward, at the end you get gold. You also get some cannon based loot throughout the game.
