What is "Blackbeard's Gambit"?

Hi Crowbar!

I meant the "Battle Pass".

Sorry my original post was unclear. I corrected it.

Our CM, Kitana, while still in Kharkiv, was able to get some info on this. Gotta admire the determination. 👏

So, this was removed intentionally, but not necessarily permanently. It may or may not appear again from time to time, so keep an eye on it. An item is planned for this functionality, but these plans are obviously not developing now as intended, it might be a while until it's implemented.

Why remove it "silently"? Because it was not a regular bonus nor included in the description of the Battle Pass. So, it's considered a minor change.

Personally (i.e., not as a mod), I'm a bit confused: travel time to Prizes is usually very short and I can see why the removal of this would be considered a minor change. Why is it so important to you that you'd spend $10/mo on it?

I'm asking because you said you won't buy Premium Battle Pass anymore, since it was removed. That's fine, of course, but it kinda implies to me that this feautre alone is what you're paying $10/mo for and I'm failing to see why would it matter at all, let alone be a dealbreaker.

The Plarium staff in Kharkiv most certainly deserve our full respect.  My thoughts and thanks go to them. 

Regarding the premium battle pass, our BH plays the Brawls by attacking a good number of prizes over the duration of the event. For those of our players who are happy paying for the feature it is quite uncomfortable without the possibility to reduce unit travel time to prizes to 15s instead of the standard 60. 

This feature has been present in Battle Passes for months now, hence my surprise at its silent removal. As much as I understand the possible interest of replacing it by a similar functionality, I fail to see the point in doing it before said functionality is ready. 

Thank you for your answer anyway, your time is appreciated. 

I do very few Prizes, as I find them boring, but I guess your explanation with mass Prizing makes sense.

As for the removal before the new thing is introduced, I can guess: they would've introduced it quickly, but these plans were probably postponed until better times, with the available staff mostly tasked with maintenance and support (both their number and their working hours are understandably reduced, but I don't know by how much).

I was told that Stormfall already has this item ("Battle Ground Gate" or something like that), so it's not too farfetched to think that Pirates were supposed to be just a wee bit behind.

Btw, I forgot to write it in my previous reply: your feedback was passed to the devs. Hopefully, they'll see it your way (with which I agree, if it's any consolation) and return this until the item is implemented.

Why am I unable to claim Battle Pass 

Battle Pass Level 25

Hard to say from here. It might help if you describe what is happening, but you'll likely need someone to look inside your acc, which we on the forum cannot do (I am just a player, like you). I suggest raising a ticket here, probably best as a "Bug report".

Never mind , it was operator error .🙂
