Privateering: repair while sailing - glitch/cheat

[Maximvs]

Well the discussion Thread is actually 'Repair While Sailing' - so I would think Natties input is just a valid on 360 cannons as talking the magical broadside targeting

[Mr.LoveLocket]

did this glitch get fixed?

[SangrelX]

To answer LoveLockets Question
No it is not fixed I have been in other peoples crews when their captain started having people do it!!! (Crews picked randomly not guild members)

(For example: Skeleton glitch on Tortuga/Abassa, for infinite ammo, "fixed.")

Just a quick flick here - but that isnt fixed -- you can still perform that trick however your player model doesnt come back as undead - you still have the infinite ammo on land and sea

you do not gain rep points for your kills but you still gain Gold
The only way you can tell if a player is doing that glitch is - their Level of Notoriety beside their name will Turn RED or BLUE depending on what team they are on when they enter the glitch



-- Also the Lag-Storming bug as a few people call it - where fury and firebrand seem to cause instant lag for 10-15 seconds

I was constantly being hammered like this by 1 ship on frenchy side - so i joined over there and asked about it - to which I got "I can lag you out anytime I want to !!" so I asked the guy how to do it and of course he didn say - but he did say he was able to do it on command

this leads me to think its most definetly a bug/glitch being done on purpose!

perhaps the one guy here who said its a possible combination of glicthes is correct - maybe it does it when someone uses sailing/repair and Fury Launches - because all the time its ever happened to me the ships doing it seem to never loose health!!

[Mr.LoveLocket]

KK thanks for telling me

:-) But wait, I don't get it. All I did was politely restate details that several people missed (since the same thing is now being asked again.)

Max, put that back please. Or pm me with the part that actually was removed (and why) because I'm confused. The one sentence I thought you MIGHT object to seems to be intact...was it just the reference to the rumor (that I heard in-game and have spread here) that Thursday 9/25/2008 night's patches will nix two glitches?

Hey, waitasecond! Maximvs, you have test server access, don't you? Could you please confirm or deny this? Does repair-on-the-run work on the test servers right now?

[Nautical Nattie]

360 cannon has nothing to do with the perpendicular broadsides that crimson rabbit (and I) have been complaining about.

360 degree cannon means the cannon can turn in any direction. Has nothing at all to do with broadsides. That's a whole separate ball of wax.

oh right, my mistake, well whatever we're calling that problem i'm having then lol

The part removed was LoveLockets question if it was fixed - and you said 'as mentioned THURSDAY' (something like that...) in this case you actually did answer his question with your earlier post by stating the fact already - he just didn't read it

Now it has been asked again and this time SX answered it (though the answer was always there - you provided it the earlier post by saying Thursday)... so the info is answered... again (like for a third time now...) - no need to put it back

I'll send you a PM for a few details on the 360 glitch before I run off to the Test Server to try it (if I don't see you in game first )

[Dr. Zeppers]

Wow, all that over a rumored fix, that isnt posted anywhere.

Sounds like rumor/heresay to me. This just creates further anxiety and is non-productive.
People shouldnt post that kind of stuff without valid (quotable) sources.

I'd all but forgotten about this. So I tried to get back on, to see if it still happens. Crew matching had been broken again for the French (Spanish emplying social engineering of joining French crews then crashing the crew head? That's the only explanation that seems plausible. Every time I'm out, all French captains reset crew matching, but if I have to log out and back in, they are gone) so I joined a Spanish ship's crew that I had been unfairly sunk by, earlier.

Trying flaming skull on the cheater ship looked like this.



How it gets activated is anyone's guess. The driver is possibly the last to know.

After almost two minutes on board, my game crashed (debugger level crash.) As always, I close the browser before it sends the report, but perhaps I should start flooding them - send all 20 crash dumps per day, in. In this case, I'm pretty certain the crash was induced, but meh. All the more reason it should be sent in, I suppose.

[Dr. Zeppers]

Probably get a message back recommending you update your video drivers, but bombarding them may be the only way to get it addressed. Im torn thinking about it. Part me says, they will have to take all the extra time to review these, when they could be spending that time fixing things. But then I realize that when we do not help to make the problems obvious they are fixing the dreaded wall glitch in catacombs </sarcasm> instead of the SvS problems.

[Captain Seaford]

Didn't disney add a feature where the broadsides actually AIM at your target now?
I miss more though than I did before they added this.

[bpg2012]

yea they did only thing different is ive seen them go in weird directions that they shouldnt go in like for example they shoot out the side so they should go sideways but ive seen them go backwards too
