Black Pearl

Master Mariner
I throught the black pearl wouldn't attack you when you first meet it just outside of falaise de fleur if you didn't fire at it, or it didn't in the old build anyway.

I'm up to the part were you go to talk too the guy about the pirates chest and I get attacked by the black pearl even when it's marker show's green and I don't fire at it, is this just somthing to do with build 12.1
 
It shouldnt... It may play the "Enemy" music, but I think you shouldnt be attacked. At any rate, she shouldnt chase you, so RUN AWAY!

yes it did chase me even after it was attacked by pirate ships and the fort, it was funny after it sank my ship this tiny little red boat poped up with me and some of my crew in it then it got sunk then poped up again.

is this somthing to do with build 12.1, it must be over a year since I've played the game
 
The BP shouldn't attack you, that is very odd.

The tartane rescue from your sinking ship is a feature of the "resurrection" mod - sometimes, instead of dying, you get a second chance to escape via a tiny boat.

If this happens to me during a game, I usually try to sneak in under the guns and board the ship that did me in! If I do, I can usually take her. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
 
yes I didn't think it attacked but it did and it was strange becouse at first it started to sail away then all of a sudden it fired on me with it's rear gun's then turned and chased me but I was abel to get away and dock at falaise de fleur after a couple loaded save game's.

I decided to do the chest quest before looking for captain rehims, would this matter.

This has happened to me every time I've come to that point in the game, at least all through build 12 and perhaps earlier.

It looks like some time delay thing where the Pearl starts out green ... just long enough for you to get a good look at it. Then it turns to red, blasts you and chases you down, and it is fast!

I just make sure that before the encounter, I have a very fast ship, Fast Schooner, or Xebec Barbarossa.
I also switch from realistic sailing to arcade, and as soon as I come out of map mode, sail away ASAP, trying to put distance and some land between the Pearl and me.
 
For some reason, I always end up so near the Pearl, I crash into her, and, of course, she doesnt like that one bit. The only other time was when I was so far away from her I couldnt see her, but that was in the stock.

An odd thing about the ending battle, If you fire at her without using the artifact, you can lower her crew enough to catch up with her, and she runs out of ammo, making it all too easy... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />
 
I think the presence of "other ships" in the area is what sets the Pearl into attack mode. The one time I saw this happen the pearl attacked a nearby pirate, but it left me alone. Did you fire at the it thinking that it had attacked you? In the original game I do recall that if you fired at the Pearl, the first time you see it at FDF, in the original game, it would attack as well.

I think you can do the quests in whatever order, but the original planners did make some odd choices at times. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />
 
Like the animist bit where you have to talk to the prison warden, even though you killed him in the main quest. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/urgh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":urgh" border="0" alt="urgh.gif" />
 
This Pearl stuff happened to me exactly the same (including the being sunk and surviving in the lifeboat twice). It indeed wasn't so in the stock game. But it's quite a challenge. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />
To Hu Kwan Do: That's been fixed in the Build, right? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
 
I've never stuck around long enough to have the BP fire on me. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

Yes, that bug with the warden has been fixed - I think Viper did that, a long time ago.
 
I was just using that as a random example, and I think it was one of the first things fixed in the animist clear-up.

Many thanks to the modders who fixed that! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/buds.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":drunk" border="0" alt="buds.gif" />
