Jumping.....I will tread lightly here......IMO....I feel it's circumventing the the whole idea of PVP. I haven't tried jumping nor will I ever. When I PVP I use the weapons I feel will work best and adjust as needed. Win some and lose some.

Jumping clearly gives you an advantage over your opponent from what I've seen and experienced.

I won't use the word "cheating " as it is part of the game (currently) . I know many pirates have complained here and to Disney support regarding jumping.

However the other side of the coin is.....if you are having fun jumping, you have every right to do so.

I agree. Jumping may not be everyone's favoured tactic to use or to find an opponent using...however...it's a tactic and it can be fun. I think its fine to do as you like, because if we're fighting as pirates then surely there are no rules anyway?

Purists might argue that voodoo, jumping, grenades etc are 'cheating' but I think that you should use what you enjoy most.

I've tried jumping and even had some lessons from a confirmed 'jumper' lol, but it's not for me..

If it works for you then go for it!

lol I personally don't use jumping as a technique but it is fairly common, but I don't PvP much.

It is common because new players see existing players do it all the time, in or outside of PvP maps.

PvP is broken at the moment because the "Fast Switch" exploit still exists in the game.

I wouldnt say I enjoy jumping, but its a habit of me of how I play. Its part of how I use the controls and if you just ask someone to change thats really hard to do.

Fast Switch? Could you please enlighten me?

My guess is the "exploiters" have figured out a work-around for said "Fast Switch".

I am not sure if it involves the same combination of keys (Esc + Any F1-F4 Key), however, it's more of a timing situation now to get it to work.

I saw a couple of PvP fighters I faced hit some kind of combination at a specific time during the skill they were using and it allowed them to continue with another attack after they had canceled the skill's animation.

It's supposed to block you from using any other skill until the animation time frame has completed, but somehow they found a way to get the game to ignore that expectation the developers had placed for all weapons.

That's all I know about it. A person who uses it like crazy would know a lot more.

Not really that way.

kat truewalker · #10 08-28-2011, 12:13 PM

Hmm back again. Just been doing pvp with a jumper who used swiftfoot glitch. I am not amused.

I jump, yet had no idea there were "rules". I was PvPing a guild mate, and I was using Broad. He said: "Stop! thats broad!" I didn't care. I had never heard, and did not take up the rules. I agree with jumping, but rules? you can't just modify Disney's game. I didn't take up the rules (but i DID respect them), and will never take 'em up. Hey, I have rights, don't I?

That's true.

There are no Weapon rules in PvP.

The only rules that do exist in PvP modes are the TOS, Disney House and Member Agreement rules while using the Pirates Online game service.

So, anything goes, however if you do an action that violates the service's rules, then you are cheating/breaking the terms listed.

lerzba · #13 11-08-2011, 09:10 PM

Rofl, no there are no rules. But for jumpers (pvpers) there are rules called Jumper Rules :

-Cutlass & Dagger only
*No brawl
*No asp
*No throw dirt
*No dagger combos

Why no broadsword & only cutlass? Because with broadswords you can randomly swing without even looking at your opponent and hit them, cutlass is based on aim and skill. We (jumpers) like to make it fair, funner & based on skill. Who would want to fight someone that uses a doll with grave shackles and run in circles or someone that keeps spam shooting with a gun? That's so boring. If you don't like these rules, it's very simple. Don't pvp jumpers.

Yeah, swift footers in PvP and Muertos Moons REALLY bum me out. It is just so cheap.

SF glitch.. I'll be honest here. I use Swift Foot glitch every time I come on. But I don't do it to have an advantage in PvP, I don't use it to get from quest to quest in 5 seconds. I just use it because it is fun. I use swift foot, and I am against using it for your advantage in the game, but I just do it because it's fun. Haven't you ever wondered what the view is like 300 feet above Port Royal?
