Weird one. Was playing a spanish fleet. Had a captain, alarico castro, helmsman, explorer and Amore on the Santa columba. At the start of turn 1, got an extra turn from Castro and my captain got revealed.

And then the game crashed hard.

Sorry, no match number.... " />

Had a two ship 40-pt Spanish fleet with Contessa Anita Amore on the LE Virtual Wind and a Silver Explorer on an Allquimista.
During the setup, I was able to buy other crew but my second Silver Explorer was unable to be purchased (And yes, I have 2 in my inventory). It did not even show up as buyable....\

After checking the fleet builder, I put the 2nd Silver explorer on a ship abnd it came up as an invalid fleet saying "you may only have one silver explorer in your fleet."

This is NOT listed in the card text....

I thought for SURE that SOE would come through with Santa to put on my Sleigh this holiday season. I mean, they ARE Holiday promotion cards, yes?

I thought for SURE that a little spreading of holiday cheer would be waiting for me when I logged on this season.

Nope.

We got coal.
The holiday giveaway was a takeaway.
Those tournies did not give back to the community but took from it instead. 5 D$ per player per tourney played. The cost of the prize was made back by SOE after =2= 8-player tournies.

Well, Old Man Potter is laughing and laughing this season for sure.

That's it for me.
I'm fed up.
I'm disgruntled.
I am throwing in the towel.

I would put this in the trading forum but it isn't strictly a trading post.

With the way the LEs are distributed in OE, it is no longer fun trying to get the complete sets including LEs.
Fitz, My hat's off to you when you get yours as you are WAY closer to completion than I am. I wish I had the one(s) you need as I would love to help you out.

I have tried trading, /ptrading and begging. I am not going to overpay for every single LE I need. I used to only have to overpay for that last elusive LE. But now there are =6= different classes of LEs in Oceans Edge!!

The Mega LEs(Dragons/Windcatchers etc)
The Deluxe LEs(Silver Explorers/'common' ships and crew made LE)
The Normal Booster-Box LEs (that you get with the $65 boxes)
The Starter Box-Topper LEs
The Promotional LEs (Zeus/Denver/Blackheart)
The Tourney awarded LEs

Give me a break. I am DONE.

So,

The OE Davy says that with a roll of a '6' you can give an enemy ship an action. It does not say ONLY a move action but that is how it is implemented. Why can't it give an enemy ship a shoot action? The wording seems to indicate that you should.

Other than a tournament marathon, that is.

Other online games tend to have some sort of end of year, customer appreciation thing going...

Just wondering....

I am SO getting this for my living room.
(I bet Sword Lord already has one on order....)

They're heeeeeeeere.......

How come we have access to all sorts of nifty formatting but the only thing that works is BOLD and Italic?

Come round ye hearties and listen to me
I'll tell ye of powder smoke upon a stiff breeze
I'll tell ye of booty and sea chests to fill
Such stories I'll tell ye, of the Sea Weasels Guild

'Twas back in aught-seven when first they was formed
To roam the green sea foam from dusk until dawn
Their cause was known to many each season
But others were left out of the Weasels' real reason

See, there was many a pirate and landsman and scrub
Who, when seeing a sailor alone in the pub,
Would hearken and hoot and accost the poor tar
And send invites to strangers as they sat at the bar

So joining the Sea Weasels is one sure way
Of keeping rude strangers away and at bay
No offers to join in some stranger's swill
Will come 'cross your wake when you're in Weaselboy's Guild...

Note: How come color/font formatting doesn't work???? :'(

Over the past couple of weeks, I have joined games only to find that my tweaked fleet, though not as mean spirited as some, was completely outsailing my opponents. This was clearly a new player that was just learning the ropes. Had I known, I owuld not have taken one of my "Competition Level" fleets but rather one that was less optimized and more fun.

So, New Players.
PLEASE, when making a game, advertise that you are just starting out. Change the title to say "New Player..." We veterans will most assuredly play you and will field an appropriate fleet. The game is no fun if you are soundly thrashed. We know this and are here to help you have fun.

Just let us know!

I really like the idea of them. Specialized and Rare crew that perform a unique function.

But. Let's compare their functionality.

A regular explorer costs 1 pt, takes up 1 space and is generally left on the island he explores, thereby freeing up 1 cargo space.

Silver Explorer costs 3 pts, takes up 1 space but must remain onboard to get the +1 Doubloon bonus effect if and only if there is a special silver treasure coin on the island.

It seems like it is better to spend 3 points on an explorer and Genny Gallows/Maurice Aristide and get a +2 Doubloon bonus effect rather than the +1 the Silver Explorer gives.

Like I said, I like to concept, but the execution is falls a little short.

From over at our "sister site"

I believe it was Captn_Daryl (correct me if I am wrong) that suggested this last night.

New players that are registered for less than 90 days and players in Trial mode should have their icon as a Green Skull. This will allow the veterans entering a game with them to maybe soft pedal a bit and not take their Multi-Titan/Multi-Harbinger fleet into battle against them. I have been counseling new players that they should put NEW PLAYER in the title of any game that they start but the green-skull is an elegant solution.

Coupled with this might be the option to flag games as newbie games on creation to make it easy and obvious for new players to identify games where they are not pretty much guaranteed to be slaughtered. This would facilitate some of the veterans holding 'classes' for new players, maybe showcasing certain tactics or just using a less than uber-tweaked fleet to allow the new players a chance.

(Ideas like this spring up all the time in private beta testing....)

Check them out. Size and placement are just fine in the practice game....

So why does a Silver Explorer reveal itself at the beginning of the game? It isn't using any of its abilities. Sounds like they are afflicted with Kian Ng's Syndrome... " />

(This would have been found if there was a private beta test procedure in place)

I think it was the right thing to do and it did not go totally unnoticed...

In all games, if I use my mouse wheel to zoom out (in windowed mode) it gets to a point where my view is rotated 180 degrees and the islands get fuzzy. (New Islands) This happens on two different machines.

(This would have been found if there was a private beta test procedure in place)

Jade was in play and delivered a doubloon worth 5 to opponents home island. It was there as 10Doubloons
Opponent then played Kharmic Idol and removed all UTs from play. This removed the jade as well as the doubled coin. This should not have happened as the act of doubling the coin is a one time effect and not a persistent effect.

(This would have been found if there was a private beta test procedure in place)

First, I had a Spanish Silver Explorer on the Alquimista. When the game loaded, this error was thrown.

---------------------------
Pirates - 0.1.0
---------------------------
Exception: ImagesetManager::getImageset - No Imageset named '`Ã¦Â°LÃ²& Ã˜"' is present in the system.

---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

But the game continued normally, though the icon for the Explorer was not shown on my ship. It was there but it looked like a blank cargo slot.

Well, since it is ridiculous to trying to get all the LEs with this distro, I HAVE succeeded in making a run at all the Non-LEs in the game...

So my question is: What is the digital equivalent of a box of Mega Packs so I can maximize my chances of getting the Windcatchers/Catamarans? (and sadly the dragons, crabs and sharks too) SMILEY<img src=

" /> Are they only available via single pack purchase??

And....

Is this a possibility?

Plague hit a ship carrying Cannonball Gallows. The text said that the slayer got 1 Doubloon for killing him yet it did not appear on their home island.

Sorry. No match #

I feel somewhat let down.
A game of piratey plunder and we get no booty for the booty-day of the year?

:'(

There is an episode of "Voyages" going around History Channel this month that covers the Frigates that we know and love. They frequently have episodes focussing on the Age of Sail. Keep a weather-eye out for them....

Ahhhhh the feel of freshly patched bugs...

If someone has built a fort on a wild island, you can select it and view its stats. However, you can not click on the L or S buttons to check ranges on it.
You should.

So glad to see things fixed. SO glad.

One of my fav peeves is the "No Good Game" player. The poor sport that just leaves without a word.
It costs nothing to be polite!!
