Ship repair... - Pirates of the Caribbean Online Fansite & Forums

Anybody else having to repair their ship more than once?

When I go to repair and click the prompt to repair then "yes" to repair for 69 gold (or however much) it takes me back to the menu with the option to repair still available, and if I click it again, it will ask me if its ok to repair again for the same amount of gold. After the second time, the option to repair is no longer available.

Also, after repairs (like everyone else), my ship is still on fire, and repair indicator (for hull and speed) aren't quite full. Speed indicator is always a little low, like I was shot at while boarding.

Yup, that has happened to me. And a friend had a flaming boat even after fixing it. I was kinda getting into walking through flames unharmed though.

Yeah, that's happening to my frigate as well. It's always on fire, and the sails are always missing, and neither the hull or the speed bar are completely full after repair. I wonder what they changed in the most recent patch that has made our ships basically un-repair-able.

I had some Hull damage and went to repair. I paid for it but it didnt repair. I sailed got hit a few times then I could repair and it repaired. Was weird.

That happened to me too. I always waste more money than needed to repair.

You guys got lucky... My frigate was zapped by the ghost ship and NEVER recovered... The buttons were still there (for 3 ships), but wouldn't click, or even highlight... and a 60 minute timer keep running for the ship that got zapped... I thought it was like a new time-out for getting zapped- but still locked after 1/2 a day...

Well, the chat was saying to sell the ship... The bad one was locked-in...Hmm, well, get rid of the good 2 (I could sell but not launch because of the timer on the dead ship).

0 ships or a ship you can't launch is still 0 ships....

When in doubt, make a new account (see if that boat guy was making boats with a new code)...

Just had to go and shoot that ghost ship...

He zapped my little sloopy sail right off- and I NEVER got a new one back... So I was out there sinking navy ships with this little burnt-up ship that looked like Captain Sparrow's ship from the first movie...

At least I know it's not only me that doesn't get a full repair. And is sailing a burning ship.

I've got it too, I seem to get every bug available in this game lol! My ship is flaming and sometimes smoking so bad I can hardly see; when I repair my hull shows full but the speed is always a bit down. When it first happened I tried logging out/in and nothing happened so I bought a new ship; now both are bugged.

Off topic a bit, but I'm also having an issue getting completed tasks cleared. I've been doing the rum task with Gunner, and all his things say complete but when I go to him he just tells me he has nothing for me; I'm getting new tasks also, but the task area is quite full now with all the completed stuff. Hoping for an update soon that will fix all these issues.

I'm having the same problem, too. Luckily it isn't as bad. (Sorry about your guys' ships) All I have is my cannons on the side on fire and a hole on the left side of my ship. It's kinda cool. Looks like I got flamin cannon balls rofl Flamming Cannon Ballin' Maulin' YAAH!! lol

Pirate Rose · #10 10-15-2007, 02:34 PM

My ship repaired on the first try, but the graphics didn't repair.

Also, I lost my frigate. It's not showing up as one of my ships. I don't know what happened to it lol. I was sailing it this morning, went to shore to drop off plunder, and when I went to go back out it was gone

Edit: I changed worlds and got my frigate back yay

So if any of you lose a ship, change worlds lol

When I first bought my Galleon I had the same problems with having to repair my ship over and over. After I logged out and logged back in though it seems to be working fine. The only issue I'm having now is sometimes after repairing my ship, I hit exit, then it quickly brings me back to the "press shift to talk to ....." I don't hit anything and it brings up the guy closer (with no menu choices) and just stays there forcing me to shut the game down and log back on.

Elizabeth (pirate name)
That happens to me a lot if I go buy tonics. I get the close up of the face, but no buttons to click.

Instead of force quiting, you can Teleport if you are on an island with that option. Just TP to the same island you are already on. It happens a lot to me on Cuba and even though I don't have TP for Cuba, if you are on an island you can resend yourself to the same island.

That is easier than force quitting any day! But I'm getting annoyed at having to do it so much.

Also hate that after visiting Tia I often end up in the water outside of Port Royale!!! Go figure??? I swim around the island and back on shore, but it takes a long time.

You lost your ships? That really stinks.

My frigate is still on fire, has no sails, and I have to pay at least 3 or 4 times for repairs now, but that's still a lot cheaper than buying a new one!

New problem, though- The speed and hull indicators arent working, so I never know how close I am to sinking. I'm also not getting the indicators for damage to other ships I'm hitting. Only see the cargo that was plundered after one is sunk, and sometimes dont see that, but it shows up in my cargo count.

Avoiding larger ships for now...

Pirate Rose · #14 10-15-2007, 08:18 PM

I would think that we would all have the same bugs, but apparently not. I was out sailing with some other people today, and seemed to fix his ship right up. My frigate repairs just fine, but my galleon is always on fire.

edit: now my frigate is always on fire, and the last time i set sail my sailing didn't repair all the way

saltwater · #15 10-15-2007, 09:32 PM

Today I repaired my ship and then launched it. I heard cannons before I had any pciture and when the screen finally showed up I had speed damage and really thick black smoke. I didnt have that before. Made it real hard to sail and see thru the smoke. Anyone else have that happen?
