    Note: This is *not* directed at the Moderators of this forum. If whoever manages this game wants to push the dagger in "the final 3 inches into the heart of this game to kill it for good", then just keep doing what you are doing with the shop items. I cannot recall the last time I saw the Tortuga lights available for purchase with pearls. And after tonight's MHH, no windstorms or hailstorms are available either. I have over 30 scrolls. I can play them and just use hollows and not use any of the aforementioned items. Is that what we should do? If so, then it sure doesn't seem like a good way to get folks to buy any upgrades with money. That's all I am ever saying again on this topic. And you are welcome!

    Hello Pirate,

    We are aware that the items for the MHH were not available in the shop. This has been forwarded to be dealt with.

    I am sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    Have A Good Day.

    I for one have simply stopped playing. I can play, I can invest, but i'm not. why? the lights have not been in the shop for the past month, it was apparantly "rotational" but was the only missing item ont he respective happy/mega happy hours... the payment packs are rubbish, even the ones for the new event which started today, none of this favours alliances who don't have control, and possibly causes dissent in the ones that do.

    why waste hundreds in making useless people happy when I can just take a hike like I did last time. I'll quote from dragons den here, "it's not good business and I cannot see how it'll work. I'm sorry but i'm out"

    Moderators: thanks for the tireless job.

    This is really getting to be annoying. Does anyone know if the Lights of Tortuga are gone for good? I am getting sick and tired of buying 100 keys to get 4 lights. If this is gone for good, then so am I. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    We have nothing saying that it is gone forever. We also do not have an timeframe as when it may make an appearance either.

    It is just so frustrating that we have so many things that leave us in the dark. Thanks Tex.

    I havew news for you. if they dont put lights in with the intention of us buying the buccaneer bounty packs just so we can get 100 lights, I am not buying the packs. apart from bokors chalice, I am not spending a penny and i'm not playing a minute until they return the light of tortugas back to general sale.

    Why are you all crying about the lights of tortuga? Lol I got 400+ of them just from chests I never buyed them , just buy 1000 event keys in event wait them to be exchanged and you will get at least 100+ lights from that

    Oh yeah..that is a great bargain. I point out that 1000 Event keys (the cheapest way you can get them at 700 pearls each ) costs 700,000 pearls! That is a fortune compared to buying the Lights directly from the In-Game Shop with the 25% rebate discount that I have. So that is why we are "crying about it" as you put it. Do the math.

    No the chests also give you a lot of ammo next to that, you shoot that on the behemoth or whatever is quick and profitable and buy chest keys from that again,better you do the math ;)

    We are talking specifically about obtaining the Light of Tortuga mate. If you want 100 of them, you may well spend 700,000 pearls to get them (getting other items you may or may not need is not the arguing point here). I do not want to have to spend that much in pearls and time to obtain them, when I could (previously) buy them in 15 seconds from the In-game Shop for only a small outlay in pearls. Time has a "value" as well. For example, use a Search Engine and look up "the time value of money" or "the present value of money". So (I suggest) you get yourself educated first and *then* you do the math. (Plus you should learn good grammar - i.e. "I never buyed them").

    just a suggestion buy some keys and go chest hunting. i cant remember the last time i bought lights in the market. lights are nice to have but not a requirement for fighting or general game play. lol and i found out that a player can break your light with mines so the power of the light has been reduced.

    Here is my take on the lack of Tortuga Lights. The incentivized players (Supporters) have a difficult time dealing with players who use light to hunt them, sink them and board them. Its a variation of them not disclosing their player names so they will not get sunk. Its been around since the beginning of this game. There are several other manipulations. Understanding we are not discussing BP or Youzou but the Contractors they employ who use "Supporters" to maximize their cash flow and incentivize their "Supporters" with dispensations and gratuities. Its a variation of the Mod ship thing. It is of little benefit to complain to the Contractors. The alternatives are either play it as it is, hope Youzou gets it under control, which doesn't seem to be soon, or quit and go to a game that is better managed.

    Please understand that it is impossible for any "Supporter" as you call them (ie moderator) to make any changes to how the action items work or become available for players accounts. For you to insinuate that it is a variation of a "Mod Ship thing" is incorrect and unbelievable.

    Normally we just delete such comments, however this is not the first time you have insinuated that the mod team act to affect other players accounts or make changes that are not even possible. If you wish to complain, please use the correct steps and contact the Customer Care Team along with all proof that you have.

    You continually try to put the team down with your inuendos and comments. Please read the forum rules. This will give you the general idea about what you are and are not allowed to post. If you don't follow the rules, then you will receive an infraction (punishment) from a mod or admin. If you receive a certain number of infractions, you will be banned from posting on the boards.

    I dont know why everyone is mad about tortugas. I have +1400 and I never try to save resources. All you need to do is collect chests. El Dorado helps a lot too. Funny that people complaining here about lights being expensive are big players, because pearls are not an issue unless you are a low level ship.

    i thought this, i dont understand why people cry so much about tortugas, i have 1000s of keys anyway from the event chests converting to normal keys every event, its only 60k pearls for 100 keys and youll get tortugas from them

    (1) I bought 100 Event keys that then converted to Regular keys (my pearl cost was 700 x 100 = 49,000 pearls + the significant time it took to open 100 chests while getting interrupted by getting attacked). I got 8 Lights total. If I could have bought them like we previously could, it would have been a 10-second transaction and cost me less than 5,000 pearls for the same 8 Lights. That is about as clear as i can put it.

    (2) The second, and more major point of my complaint, is that Bigpoint picked one item from the game and made it where it now costs cash to get it quickly via the Buccaneer's Bounty. That is not right. What if all elite ammo is next on their list of items to make where we have to spend cash to obtain them quickly? Again, I think that is not right. I rest my case.

    Its your fault for throwing money at them. Just spend your money and time in a smarter way instead of complaining about lights. I have more than I could use.

  20. I think he saying 100 keys at 700 per key but yeah I believe that still would be 70,000 pearls but not sure what he means either way.
