Pirates and the deep : any way to get rid of them ?
« on: May 06, 2012, 08:44:28 am »
Just asking ... even though at least the pirates tooltip don't give me much chance  ...

I'm currently trying a "destroy gang in building"  in the deep ... boy,  is that hard !
I was mostly breezing through usual missions up to now (been avoiding lava  though ... had bad experiences there !), but this mission (even on normal/normal difficulty!) is HARD !

There is a guardian power that lets you fight and destroy one pirate ship. It is sometimes a mission reward.

That's not actually implemented right now.  There were a few beta versions where the scroll dropped, but it shouldn't have ;)

The way they sit in the overworld map makes me want to go after them and put an end to their piraty ways.

haha, same here.

What we need is something like..... I dunno, a special mission you can do where you infiltrate the ship.... it'd be it's own seperate platforming area with dungeon map and everything.....  fight some crazy boss, and then do a Metroid-style escape as the thing starts falling apart. 

This would highly entertain me.

Though whatever is done, I think it should be fairly difficult and require some preparation, otherwise these guys arent much of a threat/presence on the world map.   

The whole idea behind them is pretty cool though.

Oh, wow. I remember finding a few, and have used one to kill off a particularly annoying Pirate Ship. You should bring those back, like, soon!  ;)

I would like this a lot. Would be boss.
I can already tell this is going to be a roller coaster ride of disappointment.

Every time those Pirates shoot at me, I just smile and say "Someday, I will have my revenge..."
