POTCO - Pirates of the Caribbean Online One thing I see very regularly in-game, are bad drivers. The notion of getting close to an enemy ship is usually disastrous for low level pirates. In this tutorial, I tried to condense about 50 tips and tricks I use regularly. While many will be common knowledge to seasoned sailors, I doubt anyone viewing this, will fail to pick up at least a couple things they didn't know about. Doing still-shots for cannon aiming tutorials is very unsatisfactory. Since this worked, I'll probably follow up with medium, long range and advanced distance shooting techniques. (Only what I consider to be short range is covered here.) The main way to get good at shooting deck cannons, is to shoot deck cannons a lot. If you have a friend that will park your ship long enough for you to practice, well done. Otherwise, your best bet is to launch a frigate from Padres Del Fuego, but don't sail out - only shoot from those goofy front cannons.

It's a good vid but to much lag

@potco100 No, this is what the game USED to look like, before most of the downgrades. Shots would go where you aimed them; sky, seas and islands were pretty; ships fairly reasonable. The server-side lag epidemic had only just begun, when this was recorded. I bought a new computer 3 months ago - game is unplayable on old and new alike, for the server-side lag it has now.

Glad this tutorial could help then. Since the December 2009 game changes, the aim is now very close to the center-tip of the cannon and much lower. Chain shot is much more effective on sails while all other ammo has been "nerfed" significantly. But the general principles here remain.

Absolutely correct! Going for level-appropriate targets is ALWAYS best. It's true for for all land weapons not just sailing and cannon...land enemies with yellow level tags are your fastest points (always.) The point of doing a juggy? Just being showy...and very very very slow. Seriously...over 1/2 hr for 1 ship? Never again. Ugh. Surprising how many of these hints still apply, even after the last changes. :-) Thanks for the props! See you in-game!

Triple strength siege charge - similar to the triple-shot thunderbolt SVS glitch (that still works.)

I'm talking the ship PVP, and what siege glitch are you refering to (and I said patched... not fixed)?

EdwardEdgemenace - 14 years ago

Infinite ammo is back. PvP on Tortuga is back. Invincibility is back. Speed is worse than ever. Invisibility is back. Siege glitch was never fixed. Fast switching was never fixed. Instant desolation is back. What "fixed" are you referring to? Slightly changing the method of access to these glitches, is not "fixing" them by any stretch of the imagination.

from what I know, all current glitches in that PVP system have been patched, that is untill they add more content to it...
