Pirates Of the burning

Pirates of the Burning Sea
If you can overlook Pirates
of the Burning Sea's steep learning curve, you'll be rewarded with some of the
most unforgettable moments in any online RPG.

Pirates of the Burning Sea
isn't World of Warcraft with swashbuckling. In fact, if we were forced to draw
comparisons between Flying Lab Software's massively multiplayer role-playing
game and another title, it would be EVE Online. Like EVE, Pirates is a complex
game featuring an intricate supply-line economy--and like its galactic
counterpart, its rewards aren't always immediate or obvious. No, it takes a
while for the game to wriggle into your psyche. This isn't because the early
hours aren't fun--they are--but because there's a bit of a learning curve to
conquer before the pieces all fall into place. That might be enough to turn away
players expecting immediate gratification, which is a shame, because Pirates of
the Burning Sea is a special, and specialized, game that rewards you with some
of the finest moments the genre has to offer.

The year is 1720, and three
nations are protecting their interests in the Caribbean while struggling with
the constant threat of pirates (and one another). As you would expect, you'll
align yourself with one of these entities--either Spain, France, England, or
Pirate--and choose a profession. If you're a pirate, piracy is the only
profession available, but aligning yourself with a nation opens up the naval
officer, privateer, and freetrader professions. The style of play each
profession favors is more or less obvious from its title: Officers excel on the
high seas, privateers are talented adventurers, and freetraders serve as the
backbone of the player-driven economy. Don't take this to mean that your role is
as rigid as you would expect in another MMOG, though, since regardless of your
profession, you can participate and succeed at all types of combat and trade.
This is an important distinguishing feature, because you'll never need to
pigeonhole yourself into a traditional RPG role.

Pirates eases you into
its more sophisticated facets while keeping you entertained with a variety of
well-designed quests, utterly fantastic sea battles, and somewhat disappointing
ground combat. The basic questing structure doesn't offer anything unexpected:
You chat with various non-player characters, receive a solo or group quest, and
then travel to the necessary location to fulfill the task at hand. Sure, many of
these are kill-this-and-deliver-that missions, but they stand apart from the
usual generic mainstays thanks to well-written dialogue and common narrative
threads that contribute to the game's overarching political tug of war. NPCs
don't feature full speech, but the stories they relate in text when receiving
quests lend them a good amount of character, from captains seeking revenge on
their archenemies to drunken swains vicariously living off of your high-seas
exploits.

You'll find yourself looking forward to completing quests that
send you to sea, simply because battles in your ship are epic in scope and
beautifully paced. An enormous vessel takes time to navigate across the
undulating waves of the Caribbean Sea, but sea battles are leisurely enough to
feel realistic while avoiding any feeling of sluggishness. Waging a sea battle
is arguably the finest aspect of the game, as each tactical aspect of the battle
demands your attention. You first need to be conscious of wind direction, as it
dramatically impacts traveling speed. You also need to ensure your cannons are
facing your target or you won't be able to fire them, but you also
simultaneously need to protect each side of your ship from damage. Weighing your
options in battle thus requires a good amount of finesse. Do you focus on
maneuverability and turning speed to avoid damage at the expense of offensive
prowess? Do you take the time to change ammo (a protracted task) and risk taking
the cannon out of commission temporarily?

You can equip your ship with a
variety of different ammunition, depending on whether you want to damage your
opponent's sails, hull, or crew--and each type of damage benefits you and your
group. This leads to some terrific team-oriented play, with one player focusing
on slowing down enemy crafts with another diminishing crew numbers in
preparation for boarding. Boarding is an early key to success in Pirates of the
Burning Sea, though it focuses on the least interesting aspect of the game:
hand-to-hand combat. You need to be close to an enemy ship and traveling at a
slow speed to grapple it, and success isn't always guaranteed. Once you've
grappled the enemy, however, you and your crew board the ship and participate in
a somewhat messy melee that hardly caters to the game's strengths.
