Posted: Wed Jul 20, 2005 6:13 am Post subject: Fastest dip&kiss in the same round |
|
|
Fellow lady-pleasing pirates...
Just wondering what is your most dip&kiss experiece per round? Doesn't matter the difficulties...
So far, I have just achieved my 2nd dip&kiss in the Swashbukler level... and she is NOT even my wife First time visitation... must be love at first sight.
She is the beautiful daughter of Eleuthera (Jan 1687)... My fastest time to reach 2nd dip&kiss... In fact this is the only round I have achieved multiple dip&kiss... (Now I really wish I should have done the screen mod ) |

I usually get the dip and kiss or 'cleavage shot' every time. It just depends on how fast I get rank and which daughters there are in the area. _________________

I need the dancing slippers to even have a chance at the embrace, and it's not a sure thing for me even then. I'm very consistent at getting the kiss-the-hand treatment, but anything more than that takes a little luck for me.

Concur, without the dancing slippers... I have zero chance against any daughter for the C-shot. At best I can only score a kiss-the-hand treatment.
Dancing remains THE most technically challenging aspect of the game for me... |

I get lots of pecks-on-the-hand... WHEN I'M LOOKING FOR ITEMS! You all know this strategy, of course.
Other than that I don't think I've ever had trouble with dancing. Lately however I've fallen a bit, I still get c-shots, but I don't make lots of heart circles - I tend to input commands a fraction late in pattern-shifts. _________________ Blondebeard: "Madre de Dios! Es el Pollo Diablo!!"

Without the dancing items, I get the dip&kiss about 90% of the time. With the items, I can pretty much control which outcome I want, whether it's the full dip when I need a map piece or the hand kiss for a gift.
This is at Rogue level. I haven't tried dancing at Swash.
(My short-lived Swash game frustrated me with the unresponsive fencing and multiple opposing ships sent to intercept escort missions. Someone mentioned once that we needed a level between Rogue and Swash, and I couldn't agree more. I know the fencing would get more responsive once I acquired fencing items, but without them, I was getting PO'd when I'd hit a key and the pirate wouldn't move. So I went back to Rogue.) |

Swashbukler or not... That is still impressive. Dip&Kiss at 90%, just for that... I would move to Rogue level too... unfortunately, my hand / eye coordination is just not tune to dance move
However, I did applied the MOD pictures to the game... So, next time when I do get a "dip&kiss"... I will be sure to take the "photo". |

Without the items, I get the outcome I want about 85-90% of the time. With the items, I don't always stumble enough! That is, I would wait too long to try to stumble, and the dance ends before I actually did. So now I stumble earlier, and often.
After I learned to dance well, I found dancing at Swash easier than at the lower levels. The music is longer, so you have more time to recover from an accidental stumble. There is, indeed, one tune that is much more difficult that shows up only on Swash (a classical piece that I can't put a name to, alas). But it's quite doable once you've heard it a few times, and it's a huge rush to get the turn-and-dip from a beauty after that dance. |

Perhaps, something does come in age. Finally able to live up the "Dirty Oldman" image!!!
My fingers were quiet reponsive this morning... I have the C-shots from three different nations... (No Spanish... I have eliminated Spanish ports completelly... so they are either French, Dutch or English).
Also... turns out... I forgot to leave at least one port of Dutch to have "Beautiful" lady... so...
Anyway... This is my best so far... 3 C-shots in one morning... It is at the swashbukler level... The French and the English were both long and fast pace songs...

Microsoft has notoriously slow servers. They always have. Of all the people who would use top-of-the-line stuff, you'd think it'd be them, but noooooooo.
Oh, yeah, dancing. I'm in the ballroom looking at how ridiculous my guy appears in all that get-up and the dance starts. I'm looking at her and how she's dressed way better than I am, and maybe I should consider becoming a transvestite when I miss the first gesture...stumble...Oh, yeah, we're dancing here! I'm left-handed, but have been "assessed" by a neurologist as being ambidextrous. Still, that is of little help with the right-hand numbers pad. The 3 key is hard for me to hit, and I'm never really sure about the touch on the key, like I don't even think about it with my left hand. SO, I'll NEVER be a world-class dancer. Woe is me. In fact all the major functions on this game are for righties. Nyah.
Lefties are the only ones in their right mind. _________________

Left-handed... the keypad got to be awkard for you to use...
fossaman seems to be pretty darn good with courting the ladies in the ball room... well... too bad for me... I have two girls... so I can only play Pirates at G-level... or... I will get myself into trouble...
btw: My girls enjoy watching my character to do the sword fights... So, who say girls can't be Pirates?

Well, i get the dip&kiss experience everytime i dance, usually a lot during a game I think the dip&kiss is way too easy to get, there is too much margin to make it challenging |

Man... you are one lucky guy... I still need to get some picture takens for the Dutch and Spanish. First, I have to restore some ports back to Spanish and Dutch first. |

Maybe you should re-map the keys. I didn't do much of that for dancing, but I did change "8" to "5", and that helps. I've been tempted to re-map so I can use both hands, so I would never "fat finger" two keys at once.
I did re-map the keys for fencing, so I could use both hands -- s, d, f for the offense; j, k, l for defense; space for taunt. It takes a little getting used to, but it works better for me. |
