    I like the game but I have no friends that play it. Does that mean I cannot craft pearls? Will the game be beatable without the pearl aspect? Also I'm stuck where I need a lot of resources to evolve but I can't get them without intense grinding or spending money.

    Holy crap I didn't realise they used that method to rip money from those typical free to play games I pay $30 to buy gems so I could get better characters and boat parts from the beginning just wanted to enjoy the game because I liked the art & style

    So I need to keep throwing money to hopefully drawing enough rare cards for the rare character I am using right now in order to rank up him?:eek: I hope there's another way to acquire medals other than just drawing from the gem chest :eek:

    I've only used pearls twice, but I do have a stock of them. I'd just add some friends that are already playing the game! Feel free to add me if you want, GC: twispby

    I feel that the whole game designed to be a grind now...

    In happy street I always felt like I was making progress, where in pirate power I feel like I've stalled out because upgrades are so expensive, resources are limited, and the difficulty curve gets steep.

    I played happy street for a few years, but unless things change I don't see this game having that staying power for me.

    So I bought a handful of flooz because I like to show support for games I enjoy and because I wanted the benefits of more daily energy.

    It turns out that if your energy is full (maxed out at 5) and you log in at the beginning of a new day that daily gift of energy is lost!?

    Shouldn't the energy bank like it does when you level up and receive energy?

    Please fix this! The only way you can actually receive the daily energy, that I paid for, is by playing right before the clock rolls over to a new day to make sure you have zero energy. And that is a sucky system.

    What do you mean by the big boss circle gets shown on screen? Is the boss the godfish, and the cicle the pearl?

    The energy given every day should add to the total ignoring the max limit

    When you fight a boss of a normal mission, a black circle with the skulls in the middle show up in the center of the screen. So for instance when you fight mission 5 of Prince Arthus. Right before getting to Arthus, a black circle with skulls appear in the center of the screen. The music has cut out for me when that circle appear.

    It's been capped for me. Not sure how to document the bug?

    I have my notifications on so I've received the ding when my energy is full. Then when I open the app and receive the daily login reward and the daily energy (+5 for VIP 1) my energy is still only at max 5.

    First off, I really like this game a lot. The art is incredible and the combat is very satisfying. I can definitely see myself playing this for quite some time.

    That said, here's some feedback I've gathered while playing:
    1. Evolving a ship part should never lower the power of it. Wood Cannon+ maxes at 138 power. When upgrading to the Iron Cannon it drops back to 117 and maxes out at 187. At the very least the minimum should be the same as the max of the previous gun. Power loss isn't fun at all.
    2. The cost of upgrading your ship to keep up with the power curve is pretty unbalanced. I'm spending around 3000 an upgrade now but only making ~300 coins a battle. I'd like to see slightly more coins for higher level battles.
    3. The energy mechanic is fine but I'd like to see a way to bypass it more often so I can continue playing. Occasionally I'd like to keep playing but am unable to due to being out of energy and not being able to watch any ads.

    Really looking forward to future updates, great work so far!

    It was fun while it lasted but I've decided to delete the game. I constantly loose, feel like I'm barley progressing or upgrading anything. 25 levels of coins to upgrade and an insane amount of materials to evolve, and an insane amount of coins to upgrade characters. Loved it at first and spent $5 on IAP. Now I regret it and wish I never had.

    I feel I've been making a lot of progress!
    Sure, I'm kind of stuck on the battle against the King but there's plenty to do for now. I make a lot of money daily and already have 3 ships. 2 that are the same power level and one that is catching up to them. The best thing to do is get all ships to equal power. Don't overpower one of them.

    I also beat a crusade today! It was great and the reward was nifty! I hope I can beat the crusade every day since I'm almost at a good power level to do so (I got lucky in my final battle and got 3 hearts in the slot machine).

    I also noticed the Giant Knight event. I saw the ship part and figured it was feasible. And it was. Level 5 was a lot of work but I got the piece and it gave one of my boats a huge defense boost. Plus it looks awesome. I see the event ad says you can get some sort of launcher? I probably can't get to it in time but still, I accomplished a lot.

    I'm definitely hooked for a while but I still find the saving annoying. I hope there is a more reliable saving method in the future or at least an icon showing when the game is being saved so I know when to quit.

    Hope there's lots more cool stuff to come!

    If anyone has questions you can ask me; I feel like I got most of how the game works down.

    Regarding the event modules, there's indeed a bug. There's a workaround, in the menu craft before selecting the event modules, select the NAVARRE family and then select the event modules. You will see it.

    And yes, there's tons of stuff we want to add for future update. Guilds, add more story and dungeons, more diversity! If you have ideas, make sure to post them

    I don't want you to leave or feel frustrated! :) Could you please explain why you feel frustrated and if you have ideas on how to improve the game?

    1) Someone mentioned in the thread that their sound cuts off when they reach the boss section in a battle; I just experienced this as well. As soon as the boss "circle" came up my audio cut. If I put my ear up to my phone speaker I could hear a static noise. This was on the Prince Arthus: mission 5 Normal.

    2) How is crusade difficulty determined? Is the strength of the ships scale to your strongest ship, or an average of your fleet?

    I'm wondering if it's unwise to pour a lot of resources into one strong ship, or slowly build of an equal strength fleet.

    3) The "Bigger and Stronger" mission for fleet power seems to be bugged. Sometimes after achieving it it will pop again, but for a lower fleet value. Last time I achieved a fleet power of 8000, the quest came back telling me to achieve a fleet power of 2000 and it said I was about 20 points from achieving that. After a couple of days the quest completes itself again and my next one popped for 10,000 fleet power.

    4) I still think that "regular" resources should be taken out of chests that cost flooz and keys. This game is high on the grind side and getting pirate wood, or blue wood on a pull when you have hundreds saved up is pretty frustrating. I think those pulls should only be for rare resources like black stone and up which you can't count on getting consistently.

    1) I also receive the sound bug about 1/3 of the time I play "The Twins" levels. Happens when the boss circle comes up. The audio will come back on only after I restart the game. I should mention that I haven't updated to ios 9.2.1 yet.

    4) I agree with that. If you really want people to buy flooz and chests then there really needs to be a good incentive to do so.

    Also, seriouslysean mentioned this already but when you evolve a weapon it should have at least the same stats as the maxed out unevolved one. I maxed out the 2-star wood crossbow, which now has 144 life and 130 attack, but if I evolve it to the 3-star crossbow it goes back down to 90 life and 113 attack. Totally does not make sense :confused:

    I finally got Furioso and it "only" took me 106 times of replaying Mission 5 of The Twins. If that's not a definition of "grind" then I don't know what is. Getting Noko will take 80 medals...does that mean I'd need to play Kina levels almost 160 times to get her?

    1) Thanks for reporting that, wondering if it's specific to arthus since the boss circle anim is in every mission. Could you try turning off the music and see if this still occurs?

    2) Crusades are based based on your stronger boat, so I would suggest having a well balanced team for the crusade

    3) Did it happen multiple times? Do you remember having completed the 2000 FLEET PWR before it popped again?

    4) If we remove the basic resource only the blackstones are left, which doesn't justify the existence of a chest. Buying them with flooz would be the other option.

    1) It's happened on other levels as well. Not sure what prompts it sometimes, but not others. Not game breakin or anything since I usually keep sound low or off to conserve battery life.

    2) good to know!

    3) yeah, it even happened multiple times in a row once. The mission popped repeatedly and since I already achieved the fleet power I could finish the mission over and over. I don't think it was giving the reward repeatedly, but I wasn't tracking my flooz, so I can't confirm.

    4) I'd like to see black stone, crusade gems, arena stones, and any "rare" resources put into the key chest. I know they're all achievable I. Their respective areas, but they're pretty scarce. All the other mats I can farm. Just my two cents.

    Pearls

    Hey, just started the game, but don't have any FB friends playing it. Interested in pearls and how they work. Are they one-time boosts for one battle etc. or permanent boosts? Cheers for answers!
