PERSONAL SPACE is the issue, not the various emotes. All of the emotes can be used objectionably.

To improve server-side performance the removed the concept of personal space.

The correct fix, is to make the PERSONAL SPACE logic simply be client-side.

Attacking valid features instead, is pure malice...the current programming team must intentionally be TRYING to kill POTCO faster, to drive people to free games faster. Kinda like making lava stop flowing, or intentionally making skies ugly (yet never adding rain.)

I'm confused! u say its the best emote yet its wone of the lesser ones?

As they say on some other forums when you agree with someone... THIS.

[Eliza Creststeel]

I totally agree on the bad emote/screenshot issue. It's disney's own fault for removing the personal zone around the pirate. I have stranger guy pirates all the time get WAAAAY to close cuz they want to get all snuggly for a screen pic.

Folks can be pervs, they will find a way. Give us back COIN.

[titanic95594]

^ Strong words.... Maybe the coin is bugged? Like if your still repairing on a ship and you flip a coin, you flip a hammer.

[metal1081]

coin has always been bugged with the new stuff coming in.. repair glitch u would flip a hammer, seen some friends flip their cutlass and grenade lol.. still it's is pretty stupid that they took it away

[Davy Bluekidd]

I'm going to miss the coin emotion, but like Eliza said, people use emotions for "other" purposes.

[Speedway Master]

This thread has officially became the missing coin thread.

I'm more interested in the higher-leveled enemies.

Also, hooray for the Guildmaster transfer ability.

[titanic95594]

To me that GM tranfer thing is EXTREMELY risky.

[JM Ohara]

Yes and no. I know a fair few dying or dead guilds that could be/ could have been revived by a GM transfer. This is especially true of guilds with inactive GMs, but active members. That's one thing I'm very glad they added. To me, it looks like they are totally restructuring guilds, and IMHO, we needed that bad. Now if we just had a rank like Lieutenant, between Officer and GM, then guild structure would be all set. It's a good step I think.

[Davy_Mcwrecker]

yes yes but we r asking for updates to quickly, we will have to wait. the reason the removed the personal space is cuz pirates would push noobs into enimies & make 'em get thrown in jail or push 'em into other stuff too.

ya i bet so too since that's like all they do pretty much

anyways, i TOTALLY LOVE the option where u can transfer GM status to another pirate <33333333333333333333333

Those screenshots are taken by adult players. They have them on all the social sites too!

[Chimera Doll]

You never used to play the undead pvp glitch. As for the rest of these updates, nothing to get me pumped up out of these updates. It is nice to see more clothing, but it means nothing really. The new cave is probably bland as well, just going to wait on something like the kraken or a grand catalog for weapons.
