everyone should be able to shoot everything.

[SEAKING23]

don't ye guys agree that its unfair that we cant shoot navy and eitc, and our enemy's cant shoot us? don't you guys agree this should be lifted? i cant believe that they said it was part of the pirates code. that's so cheap, especially when you see pirates shoot enemy's and they shoot pirates like 24/7. if they are worried about little kids and violence, how come they lets us burn then, curse them, slice them, make them explode, etc. navy guys don't even use their guns, just their bayonets. worried about how they will see their avatar get shot? well, us pirates get sliced, exploded, what ever you want to call what rages ghost do, impaled, and burned and cursed and whatever. WHY did they not let us shoot things, and let us get shot? its so freaking cheap! this has just drove people away from the game. who's with me?

[Crestshot]

While I agree with you that it really doesn't make logical sense.... can you explain to me how it has driven people away from the game and where you got this evidence?

[WitchdoctorDan]

It hasn't drove people away, but I believe it is a problem. I mean, kids can play Grand Theft Auto, but not shoot sailors. I don't get it.

Would be interesting....And graphic in a way.

[swordshot]

well... if you go to a lvl 23281736276382547234765237657235472354752374527354 72635472374652365472653476237465237654273654723654 76523475623745237542736547265342345273654273654723 65427354762374652763457236547263547263547652734652 3765472534765234652736426390
and use a lvl 1 pistol, wouldnt that navy guy die? xP

[Tiberius Fireskull]

Swordshot beat me to it XD.

Honestly, I think there are two reasons behind us not being able to shoot them.

First off, if they allowed us to shoot the Navy, I'm fairly certain the game's rating would be kicked up to T, maybe M.

Secondly, how many shots can a human being take from a gun, assuming it hits them straight in the chest? No more than 2, I'm sure.

[WitchdoctorDan]

M? T? I doubt it. I can imagine T, but doubt it. No blood or really graphic details should keep it E. And also, how many hacks from a sword or explosions or attacks from skulls on fire can a human being take? I'm guessing a lot less than it does in POTCO.

the action of shooting a human like character...has more emotion and realism to it...than the other things. So yeah, it should stay the way it is....no shooting navy or eict.

[Jim seapaine]

they carry bayonets u should be able to shoot navys!

Skeletons are humans, just bone. Same thing with Tormentans. :P

[SEAKING23]

well, there isn't a lot of emotion to shooting expressionless NPC. if there is, there's a lot of emotion of slicing, burning, killing NPCs.

[Stephen O'Malley]

I understand that Disney does not want to encourage us to shoot people in any case (being the family-oriented company that they are), but I agree that it makes zero sense when I can burn them, explode them, slash them, throw knives at them, etc. The message is there... but for pistol only.

[Eliza Creststeel]

1) Disney doesn't want the game to simply become a firefight free-for-all and loose their rating.

2) The code is used on the fiction side to keep the confrontations between pirates and the Navy from becoming outright war. Remember the timeline for the game is set BEFORE Beckett's War on Piracy.

Yes... but that's a separate game from POTCO, even though it's on the same subject.

Disney has prevented this from happening, for two main reasons, in my opinion. Firstly, if we could shoot everything in sight, virtually every pirate would be unstoppable. If I could load my Blunderbuss with rank 5 steel shot, run up to Neban the Silent and defeat him in three shots, heck yes I would. But that ruins the challenge, doesn't it?

Secondly, shooting in video games is already a very, very, VERY controversial thing. If you don't think that game companies have to deal with dozens of complaints that their kids have become "more violent than usual" because of a game, oh how wrong you are. In some cases, things may escalate to local... then regional.. and sooner or later, NATIONAL attention. Then here come the lawsuits, lawsuits backed up by other lawsuits, and continuous amounts of money being lost by that game company.

I don't know if any of you remember the incident that went on with the Grand Theft Auto games a while back, but rest assured, Disney will take no chances in letting anything relatively close to that happening in their realm of ultra happiness. If, forbid it, that anything occurs with a gun involved, and that kid just so happens to play a game that now allows you to shoot everything, made by Disney... the media will have a field day.

Yes you can. But please remind me when you knew somebody who has a cutlass that can shoot lightning, or a pack full of grenades.
