That's really funny and a bit scarey all in one

Eh, hopefully they don't cost 2 moral points to cast.

Pirate hat: +5 to battery capacity

probably a DLC parrot on his shoulder for our pirate onboard and a optional wooden leg.

next one: We have not heard from you concerning your request for support in the 48 hours since we sent you a response. Consequently, we have changed the status of your question to SOLVED.

Those were mails returned from UBI after their server break downs.
Now how about my compensation

Mud

Hehe I got the exact response, guess they used copy/paste ALOT during the only-5%-got-affected-but-all-servers-were-down period

And, no pirate hats

or any other compensation, I can even accept a patch to fix the most critical bugs as compensation

I got mine... it was an add-on life raft to strap to my conning tower to increase my chances of survival when my crew refuses to follow my orders to FIGHT!!!

Elphaba · 03-18-10, 06:47 PM

I certainly got no email, but in my 'support' thread for my 'compensation' I've been told to return my game to the seller!!!!!!!!

tennozan · 03-18-10, 07:11 PM

E, are you serious?!

msxyz · 03-19-10, 03:01 AM

I heard from reliable sources that you'll get, as gift from Ubisoft, "the special stew of the heroes", ability for the cook.

This stew gives to the crew, for a limited amount of time, the "fart of doom" power. A new option will allow the torpedoman to increase range and speed by specially recharging the air bottles of the G7a (steam torpedo).

But the most interesting feature of the "fart of doom" is the ability to have the type VII reach an underwater speed of 20 kts for half an hour, if you order half your crew to go to the toilet at the same time. Unfortunately, the CO2 inside the boat will increase at a much higher rate, so you should be careful to use this ability only in emergency situation.

Noren · 03-19-10, 05:45 AM

Fortunately the fart of doom kan be enhanced with the christmas tree mod, CO2 gets absorbed and the rate of the buildup is halfed. Christmas spirit adds +1 moral all around, except for the cook who is allergic (instant 0 moral). Without his allergy medicin he will spin around like a true maniac and eventually loose all faith in the nazy regime and start to tap S-O-S during silent running and in the presence of DD commanded by Captain Walker.

This is all a very rare occurance and because christmas tree mod removal requires the cook to be in high sprits it will only get worse. The solution is the luger mod, shooting the cook for mutiny and then the captain will have to make soup atleast 4 times a day and he can thereafter remove the christmas trees manually if he so chooses (the trees will obstruct most compartments and sometimes even the attack periscope).

For more bugs, stay tuned as the beta fase continues...

msxyz · 03-19-10, 06:53 AM

But you forgot that the Luger MOD will either force people to follow your orders or lower their morale permanently to zero. Also, if you use your Luger too much there's a chance that mutiny will occour.

For saving throws against mutiny, roll 2D6 and subtract one point every 100t of ships sunk.

A bug, however causes the 9mm Luger to be substituted with a 17th century flintlock pistol, so careful when you intend to shot more people at once.
