Well I have been on the ship a lot of times, and have had pirates attack on a few of those journey's. Last night was my very first time on deck when they attacked. I was helping out an LS member with the BRD quest and we left from Selbina. We were up on deck and the ship was on its way, when "the drums" hit, I really love that music. Anyway, he, 32 RDM, starts heading for the hold, while I, 32 PLD, stay on deck to watch.
The Pirate ship comes along side and I say in pt "get your **** back here". It wasnt so bad at first, one or two crossbones head onto our ship, bah no problem, right?
Well they came and came and kept coming, after the third one my bud was down. Well I dunno how many crossbones we're on me but I wasn't about to give up and run. I hit my 2hr and just started whacking away and praying trying to keep myself healed. There were several others on the ship and I am truely sorry for I cannot add there names here, because they really deserve it. The kept me alive and going. Heals and protects. I just kept swinging at anything that got in my way.
In the end I probably had one of the best times in the game so far, yes I knwo that if those others didn't heal me or weren't there it would have been a totally different story, but they were and I would like to thank them once again.
Oh, and next time I hear those drums.... I'm staying in the hold.
