Best reason to have safe zone.

  • Grankor

    So there I am, on my sloop soloing it up.
    I've managed to collect enough cannon balls to sink a million ships, have enough planks to survive the apocalypse, enough bananas to offer a snack to King Kong, a couple of chests, and a couple of chickens because who doesn't like fresh eggs?

    And then the worst possible thing happens; I have to p**p.

    I quickly scan the horizon, and see a couple of sloops off in the distance who aren't paying me any mind... But maybe they simple haven't spotted me yet.

    The ocean is pretty clear, but what if I leave and hit a rock? can't leave it on autopilot... maybe the Kraken will get me.

    I consider hiding out in open ocean, near the edge, still kind of risky. Not bad for grabbing a quick snack, or a drink...but this occasion is gearing up to take more than a couple minutes...It may even take long enough for my xbox controller to turn off.

    As I'm trying to weigh my options, the situations is become more dire... My f***s are smelling horrible, and those tacos I ate earlier are no longer satisfied being captive. The thought a pulling Cartman crosses my mind briefly, but I have no buckets.

    Seeing no other option, I anchor on the far side of an island, out of site, drop sail, and aim myself for a quick getaway.

    Then I rush out, and drop sail for the second time.

    After completing the taco delivery, I return to the game (after washing my hands, of course).
    I an now hanging out with the ferryman.
    I can only imagine the horrors my chickens had to witness, and Mr. Kong's bananas are now a horrible, soggy mess.

    If only I had the option to visit the p**p-desk in peace, I could be having fried chicken with a giant gorilla.

    ...Instead, I'm having tacos again.

    LOL. Despite how hilarious this situation is. Safe zones are still a big no. P**p before you turn the game on. Maybe take a break between voyages every now and then.

    @toastywrath I like the idea of a safe zone, but for a completely different reason. I'd like to see it as a designated party zone. A place with no quests, no rewards, no objectives. Just a place to hang out, play music, drink, and toss puke buckets on each other.

    LOL, I think we should just give him alone a safezone for posting an amazing and entertaining argument for them.

    I know how you feel man, this happens to me quite often because I have to stop and change my daughters diaper.... Which sucks, cause if she has a particularly insane defecation incident, it can take a while to fix her up. Meanwhile, sitting IN FRONT of my TV I have to watch myself get sank and murdered while trying not to rush and get p**p on me or her or the house.

    Sometimes even when you think you don't see someone, there's that one ship behind a rock in the distance that pops out and is like, "HEY THEY'RE NOT MOVING, GO GO GO!"

    Thanks for sharing your "p**p" story. Sounds like you had a real dilemma. Seems like a great place to share this story...

    A man was sitting at a bar one day when a pirate walked in. The pirate had a wooden leg, a hook for one hand, and a patch over one eye.

    Feeling sorry for the pirate, the man said, "Come over here, my friend. You look as though you've had a tough life and I'd like to buy you a drink."

    The pirate gladly went over to the man who ordered him a rum.

    Then the man asked the pirate, "I'm curious, how did you lose your leg?"

    "Arrrgh!" said the pirate, "I lost that timber to a tiger shark in the Caribbean when I was thrown overboard for stealing a man's rum."

    "Wow, that's awful!" said the man. "And tell me, how did you lose your hand?"

    "Arrrgh!" replied the pirate, "I lost that fighting cannibals on a treasure island."

    "Oh my word!" the man said, "How awful! And tell me, how did you lose your eye?"

    The pirate said, "Arrrgh! A seagull pooped in it!"

    "A seagull!" The man was surprised. He asked, "Is seagull p**p dangerous?!"

    The pirate said, "Nay, matey, it was me first day with the hook."

    You just have to scan the horizon, identify the best straight line you can take and turn the ship in the right angle. Then you leave your character hold the wheel and your fine for a few minutes. Even if someone see you, the will need time to intercept you, unless you go their direction (the reason why you just scanned the horizon).

    I've already done this few times and never had a single problem, even when I saw a ship before going AFK. My worst scenario was when I aimed badly and hit a rock, but the water didn't filled the ship fast enougth to sink it before I came back (would have been kicked if I went AFK longer anyway).

    @grankor Moral of the story: Don't eat tacos. Have some bananas instead.

    Edit: While I disagree with having a safe zone, I had to leave a like for some good humorous story-telling

    Thanks for sharing lol. If this ever happens again just simple go to the nearest outpost & sell chest etc take the risk of your boat being sunk well your away. Supplies can easily be found on any outpost you are respawned too

  • rockintye

    I believe the outposts should be a safe zone. I'm sure they can make it while in a outpost zone, as like when camera signals you've arrived at the outpost, no one can receive damage nor their ship. It might help with limiting outpost camping and give players a chance to collect their booty. Just my opinion as I have had similar scenarios as mentioned.

  • Koshbro

    @rockintye you see an outpost being camped? Don't go there

  • rockintye

    @Koshbro the situation is usually that the coast is clear, you go to an outpost your docked, business calls, then when you come back someone has come up and sunk your ship. Or I have experienced the log into the game walk out of the inn and bam blunderbuss to the face. In the grand scheme of things it isn't a big deal, but it would be nice to have the option of taking small breaks and not have to leave the game to do so.

    Man... how fast do you guys p**p? I would most definitely be kicked for inactivity lol. +1 for humor even though I'm anti safe-zones.

  • Koshbro

    @rockintye just go to the mermaids or hide? And out to the inn to a blunderbus is just bad luck lol

    I'm more impressed that you weren't booted from the lobby for being afk, if it was going to take that long
