A Pirate Life for Me!

OK, I need serious help! I can't figure out how to do ANYTHING! Well, I did figure out how to kick the door of the jail cell in, and used that skill to set free a couple of other prisoners. I have no idea how to talk, so if you were one of the pirates that came to me and said either "Hey", "How do you fight in this game", or "did you die too?" I was not ignoring you! I was just pressing all my buttons trying to find the right one! Laughing

At least I figured out how to put away my gun (which I didn't know I had) before getting in trouble for carrying it around. Rolling Eyes

Overall it seems way too complicated for my toony horsey mind. Confused

Oh - and is there ANY way to play in full screen? I find tha partial screen very distracting. Confused

push tab first...make sure your side menu is out...hit the skeleton heads in the top left corner. One is speedchat and the other activates the box for type

I did find that in "options" there is a way to enlarge the screen. It's not "full" but it covers most of my monitor screen, so I'm happy. Very Happy

Talking seems overly complicated...or is that just me? Confused

Talking is WAY too complicated for me too. In fact, all the game controls are overly complicated for me, which I emailed Disney about. (Yes I am blonde so that might be part of the reason Smile

)

Right now my quest is to sink Navy ships. I tried to use my ship's cannon, and nothing happened. No shots fired, no ship sunk, and my pirate wound up floating at sea with no ship! I haven't a clue what to do. Can anyone shed some light on this quest? And...does anyone know how to take screenshots?

Ahh, you've gotta get some cannonballs.

They ususally drop from the Scurvy Bloodsail guys, but if you are playing a Rogue you can stealth and pick their pockets. Then take the cannonball to your cannon and you should be able to use it to fire.

Oops, wrong game, sorry.

You have a ship??? I took the "sink a ship" quest thinking it would be easy as pie. Best I've been able to do is SWIM to get on a ship, and then I crash every time I try to board. Shooting the ship from the shore hasn't done a whole lot of good. Laughing

I find the whole thing way too complicated. It's fun trying to figure it out with the kids (I FINALLY killed a skeleton and made it to Tia whoever without getting killed by the giant wasps....yay me! How many tries did it take? Laughing

) I probably won't really play. I'm a toon at heart. Razz

Just wish they would fix their issues, which are sucking the fun out for so many people. Mad

I actually think I NEED a cannon but I don't know where to find one. Confused

Read this without your gamer hats on. How incredibly funny/strange is this if no one knows what you are really talking about?

Here girl! come join me. You can carry a Rocket Launcher (closest thing to a cannon), I can take you to a place where you can shoot yourself out of a cannon, and I can take you to a place where you can fly over and drop bombs on guys below you (closest thing to firing a cannon at other people).

I've got Cannons galore!, come on, eat from the cookie plate.

Pfffft....I can already shoot myself out of a cannon. You gotta offer more than THAT. Razz

Crazy Orville Bumbleberry · Posted: Tue Apr 17, 2007 3:55 pm Post subject: View Single Post

yea, yea... but can you shoot a cannon at someone? Come on over!

LadyZ · Posted: Tue Apr 17, 2007 4:34 pm Post subject: View Single Post

I admit I haven't gotten that far yet, so I don't know. Thanks for the offer; I'll let you know. Wink

Looks like you might be getting to her...keep it up!!! You'd love it if you tried it Kari...I promise, the cookies are sooo tasty!

Ahhh yes a pirate CAN shoot a cannon AT someone......they have to be on their ship but a dead pirate is a dead pirate.....and tells no tales Very Happy

Ignore that dog behind the curtain.....The great and powerful Orv can't get you back home Dorothy! You've had that power all along and you can just stay here! There's no place like home....there's no place....

Just catching up on this thread and see lots of questions re: chat.
If you hit the enter key it opens the "free" chat box and then you can just type what you want to say. I find it a bit faster than using the pirate head buttons as you have to get back control of your mouse to use them.
Talk to you soon I hope Smile

And may I join that "trampy" thing you all have going on? LOL

What's weird about the chat thingy....I can see what some people are saying but the majority all I see is blah blah blah. All are non friends so I have NO idea if this is a bug or what's up.

Arghhh! I got my beta invite. Need to install and make a wench so I know what you guys are talking about.

Silly Funnymush · Posted: Sat Apr 21, 2007 6:04 pm Post subject: View Single Post

i have never seen anyone saying blah blah blah Nanner. That's a new one for me.

LadyZ · Posted: Sat Apr 21, 2007 6:09 pm Post subject: View Single Post

Me neither. I HAVE seen people saying "how the heck do you do this?" and "Did I just die or something?" and "Do you know how to ...(whatever)?" Razz

never seen the blah blah blah...did see some borderline obscene language tho....
