    Gah, I did miss wording that correctly in the game!

    I'll have that specified in the next update. Thanks for the catch!

    Hey there Sparton, seeing as you work at or for Iugo do you think you could shed some light on my mystery of the missing doubloons?

    well if this really is an issue, then just change the objective in "leave your treasures for xx hours" or something like that. This would be neutral so everyone would be able to accomplish it without guessing/try and error. It is simply a bad design choice at the moment.
    Of course, it is not game breaking or anything like that, so we can stop here ;)

    We've caught up to and marooned some server bugs, which has allowed us to re-enable helping friend's crew members that are on jobs. Happy helping!

    error in screen

    hi devs,

    can you help me on this one? I have a friend named: Leong... in the MAP screen, it is saying that he is in trouble: "Leong's crew member be assialed by a navy vessel vill ye help?" When I ignore him, he will disappear, then when the screen is refreshed... he is there again... But when I help him, it is saying that I got a reward with 35 silver and 15 fps... however, after clicking the Collect button, i notice that my silver and fps are not adding. also, when screen refreshes, it is Leong again who needs help...

    I have tried deleting him as my friend and I have reset the application many times. Still not working... would there be anything that I need to do about that?

    anyone here experience the same issue?

    I have read here that it might have been the physical appearance that has a problem?

    add me [email protected]

    Thanks!!!

    I had a similar issue and it went away after a few hours today. In fact for the entire day yesterday I had no "friend's needing help" icons. It seems to back to normal for me now though.

    Our gents overlooking the servers have identified the problem. There's an internal limit of 50 friends in a single day you can help... which is what the server thinks, but not the game itself! So the reason this happens is that miscommunication.

    This should be fixed in the next app update, along some of the other bugs we've found. Just remember that once you've seen this bug starting to occur, you won't be able to help friends until the next day.

    (Reminder for those who missed it: don't use the "Sell All" button for your treasures, as you won't get all of the silver! Use "Sell One" a bunch of times, or wait for our bug fix in the next update.)

    Just wanted to throw this finding out:

    When going through shared treasures from friends, if you get a chest and it gives you 200XP, and then you open another with the same reward, etc, when closing the interface it only credits 200XP to your progress bar.

    Just my findings, many before me may have said something already.


    Add [email protected] for daily shared treasures!

    I think that's just the FP bar not telling you the right amount you increased by, but it does credit you for both bonus chest rewards. We'll look into it though, just in case.

    hi Sparton... Thanks for the update. :)

    I would have done this the whole day!!! refreshing the screen and getting the 15 fps... lol

    by the way, you can refresh the screen by doing one of the following:
    - click the doubloons section (upper left) - fast
    - go to your ship (lower right) - a little slow as it needs to load your ship
    - reload the game (not recommended) lol


    just to comment on the developers side...

    i think it's not that hard to just put a validation if the user has reached the maximum number of helps a day...

    since you have already a counter on it, then why not put an "if" statement rather than making the app send an error message and reloading the game... it won't hurt the servers (i think) :) HTH

    bonus chest

    is it really random? either you get a doubloon or 400 silvers or 200 fps?

    suggestion:
    why not make it fixed... like.... getting the left treasure box (smallest) be always the 200 fps or the 400 silvers?

    this way, player can maximize what he wants?

    just my opinion. :)

    Try not to do that too much though, or our servers will not like us again :(

    It's... mostly random. Each chest has a chance of getting one of those three options, but the exact chances of that are different with each box.

    I'll leave it to you guys to try to figure out what that is though :)

    lol... yeah... for the server's side it's bad...

    cont' for the previous opinion:

    so if the user reached the maximum number of help, then the help icon won't show... :)

    Yeah, that's what should happen, but that bug probably won't be fixed until the next app update.

    We're still working out what stuff we can get in for the update, so you'll have to wait 'til probably closer to when the update will go live to know what new things we'll be adding in.

    Not a problem! Thanks for all the praise and suggestions!
