Battleship HP icon

hmm... do you happen to have any footage or descriptions that show multiple octopus can be summoned on versions similar or below v62? The one you linked is much higher version that one the server is based on right now.

Dunno how helpful that is but it’s a skill guide for sairs dated in 2008 and says up to 3 can be summoned. I only remember having 2 in GMS but the skill timer could support 3 so it may be right. I’d also say just based on the skill description it doesn’t make sense that there’s a time until next use (10 seconds) while also having a summon length (40 seconds). Why would we use it again before the duration is over the first time? I don't think any other class has a similar description on their summons but could be wrong.



Edit: Also found this video from Feb 2009 that shows 2 octopus being summoned at 1:58 and 2:20 and you can see both are alive at 2:23. Not sure how close to v62 that is though.

Agree with everything said. Always found it weird and pointless with the octopus cooldown. That video looks really close to v62!!

 

Also it really does make more sense for the amount of octopi to increase every 10 skill levels... it's a pretty limited skill otherwise

 

Not active anymore, but I'm all for an octopus buff/improvement. I mean, you spend 20 4TH JOB SKILL POINTS just for +10 sec increase?? That doesnt make sense at all.

 

It doesn't quite work like the preview. Whenever you summon the ship the icon will always be almost completely gray as if you were on the verge of losing the ship, and it will start to blink when you are on the verge of losing it. I mean, it is an improvement but it does not help to plan ahead how long is left until we lose the ship or if we are dismounting correctly (for players new to the corsair mechanics)

PS: I'd try to add some footage soon x-x
