We were doing the solo crew throne events when attacked by a sloop and galleon who worked together and came up on us in an instant.
Yeah, we dropped our guard for these silly highchairs and got caught snoozing. The galleon lined us up for a head-on collision, bowsprit to bowsprit while the sloop passed by too close to get any shots below the waterline but still unloaded a few causing damages.
Perhaps it was because we were flying the rainbow coloured flag that we were attacked whilst moored at one of the throne islands?
I find it ironic that the lines on the so called "rainbow" flag are surprisingly horizontal and straight, instead of the typical arch that all rainbows are.
We finally found someone willing to join us in the multi crew events but that didn't last long.
We still had a crew mate trying to get onto the throne but two members of the other crew, on the throne with me, talked me into sitting down for their screenshot then despite my pleas for them to wait a minute, they left before she could claim the throne. That was their last throne so they scuttled and left the game.
Good going guys, your mothers raised real gentlemen. NOT!
We managed to team up with a duo sloop for the remaining four thrones.
I don't know what the tide was like for those calling this fun but firing ourselves from the sloop was a nightmare in such choppy waters.
I was ready to rage quit due to the frustration of bouncing off the target while others waited patiently. Then there were times when I was the first on the throne and had to wait for them.
Perhaps beds would have been better suited for this event.
To me personally, it simply wasn't worth the frustration. The costume look like c**p, especially on thin characters and the exchange for rep or gold isn't worth the time invested.
At least the megalodon gave me enough of a break from the factions grind to go a few more weeks and if I had my time over again I would have skipped this punishment of sitting in ten naughty corner highchairs.
Where did it get me as far as progression in the game? The event cosmetics don't appeal to me, although I have bought c**p that I don't really like or need, I already have 1.25 million gold and the rep exchange is like one quarter of a point.
I'm sure that I'm not the only one who thinks that the time put into creating big-a**e highchairs could have been invested into something, anything, more worthy.
Even seagull droppings falling onto us would give more laughs and something to say "Hey, that's cool".
I can understand some people saying this "event" was fun. Sure it is, after such mind numbing faction grinds, even getting poked in the eye with a stick would make a more interesting change.
In all honesty I think that releasing Megs (or perhaps a pod of whales) to randomly roam the seas, attacking at free will, would have been better than sitting in the naughty corner highchairs.
It would add to the game as a whole and not just another one-of event lasting an hour or two. But as they say, small things amuse small minds.
Oh look, a fly landed on the wall. I can't wait to see what that rascal does next. Gotta run. :o)
