Battling With Ships

Hey all of you Pirates,

It's been a while since i've posted here, but I'm back again!

With the release of the Closed Beta and people still waiting to be let aboard on the beta ship, J Todd Coleman and the crew at KI have been working in some spoiler pictures of beta!

The topic that has been on everyone's mind was how you were supposed to battle on ships???

Well, Mr. Coleman explain the process of ship fights along with some pictures.

In response to the question, he answered this:

The answer is: Deckside Combat! When you engage an enemy ship in a melee skirmish (as opposed to raking them with Broadside cannonfire), it means you pull up alongside them and use gangplanks to cross between the decks. 

Here's an example of Broadside, where I use my crappy raft to engage with a Cutthroat Frigate. The battle doesn't go well for me...

From what you can see in the picture, it seems to be a melee fight that involves some sort of clicking or aiming (I'm not in beta, so I wouldn't know)

The process of fighting doesn't seem to require much skills, but like in most MMO's, it requires to have the upper hand in weapons and in health.

Another picture was posted up a couple of hours later, and this time, talking about deckside combat, where the enemy would actually get ON the ship and fight you.

...so the Cutthroats beat me up a bit with their Cannons, then engage me in Deckside combat. Which was a bad idea for them, really, because I have a really strong crew. They would have done better to keep pummeling me from a distance.

Thanks for Reading!

I am not done with all of the categories yet, so bear with me ^__^

Pirate101 Battle Preview

Hey all of you Pirates,

I dropped by to tell you some exciting news that I stumbled upon while cruising through Mr. J Todd Coleman's Facebook. It seems that he has posted a numerous amount of battle photo's, apparently by popular demand (ain't that the truth ;) )

Here are the amazing shots.

It seems that we also get a preview of some companions as well.

We have Bonnie Anne in this photo at what seems to be a blast attack.

We also get a small glimpse of a couple of other companions on the board, including Subodai and a Bonnie Anne looking fox.

A nice shot at one of the companions, Subodai, attacking a cutthroat shark.

What we can also notice from these pictures is a small sub-heading for each of the companions, describing what kind of warrior they are (ie. Subodai=Horse Barbarian, Bonnie Anne=Fox Musketeer)

Another photo of Subodai and a Cutthroat name Stalkin' Jake McBane, but in this photo, it seems that the shark has blocked Subodai's attacks, an interesting battle feature.

We also get a small glimpse of the Bonnie Anne look alike and what seems to be a bird companion from mooshu.

By the way, have you noticed the number of sharks in the battle field? Quite a bunch of enemies we have here. :)

The forth and final photo doesn't seem to be a battle picture, but instead, a photo of an NPC named Sergeant Shepherd.

We get to have another look at the health globe and other little buttons that are right next to it.

Another thing in this photo is that it reveals the location of this area. It seems to be called The Temple of Gloom.

Interesting name for this area.

With all of these photos posted in one day, I'm getting excited to see what other leaks will be let out before the beta gets released!

Happy Sailing, Pirates!

Sumo Mole?

Hey There Pirates,

I just got an update photo concept art from J Todd Coleman's Facebook, and it was quite "Huge"

A Photo of a Sumo Water Mole....exactly what it is.

These things look viciously scary...plus they are the coolest looking things ever! They are Mole form wrestlers. If we have to verse these gargantuan beings, I might faint...

If you also notice, there are also concept art of the leave skirts too XD

That is quite hysterical. I can't wait to see how these giant things look 3D.
