This will probably come out in a month or so. They have almost everything done it looks like. If not, it's big enough to be worth the wait. As for the Kraken, I could care less at this time if it ever comes.

do u know when this comes out

No, we do not.

Just thinking but... does this mean new weapons like shadow weapons from ghosts?....

You mean like ghost form?

EDIT: If there are ghost enemies, with ghost form, they are going to have a high level....

No cause there are shadow weapons and ghosts enemies in there.

Speedway, Thank you so much for the animation's map etc. But I have a question for you. Is there anything more with the Casa de Muertos guild in the phase files? Other than the quest that we have now in the game? I just wondered, and I'm sorry if the question is random. :'( :( :/ Anyway. :) :/:bookishfj7::piratewheelgo2:

The Casa de Muertos guild wasn't mentioned in the quest text from the first post, so we probably won't hear much about them, other than knowing that they work for Jolly Roger.

The GM events don't really fit in with this quest, other than the invasions mentioned. We'll need to get some cursed blades for Jack so he can get out in the open.

What I'm wondering, though, is whether or not there will be a boss battle for this or not.

And the skeleton poker player on test was removed on test, too.

Yep. They Undid the Undead. It was probably a test.

It was a success, if that's what they were aiming for.

As for the Ravens Cove quest, it's pretty long, even if it isn't a story quest. I'm hoping that there's animation for it, and not just us saying, "Ah, a ghost!".

And once this quest hits test, yes! Finally, a quest that we have to do just to go into a mine. It makes exploring much more fun.

And the best part is the new type of questing they have... Choosing your dialogue, dragging ghosts out, using developed mini-games as minor events.

This might be a small story chapter in between the 1st one and the one with the Headstone/Kraken... or a limited quest, which may not be a story quest itself.

Wonder if this is an island for unlimiteds only.

Well i have something to add on here...

Second movie the very beginning there was an island with a long bridge connecting two towers so they looked like where prisoners came in my friends. Without a doubt these here ravens came in and attacked the prisoners in the cages the mines that we see here could be what was possibly behind those huge doors. El Patron could have been a major enemy of the EITC and taken to these very mines where he died while attempting to escape where his cursed sword remains hidden in those very mines where the ghosts of the prisnors killed there roam and know no mercy and Beckett's men searching for Patron's lost sword so he can finish off any mother's son who calls himself pirate.

Just thought i'd take a little movie history and twist it into this story not sure if its true or not but seeing these maps is what i believe happens. :D

KH was supposed to be unlimited only, so i hope raven cove IS unlimited only!

Actually, the island at the beginning of Dead Mans Chest is a prison. Also, I believe El Patron went to Raven's Cove on his own free will, so that he could safely store his weapons here, so I doubt he was taken there by the EITC. Besides, if the EITC brough him there, they would have been able to take the weapons right off the bat. Nice imagineering, though :)

And Muffin, I highly doubt that the new island will be Unlimited Access Only. It's probably just gonna be like any other regular island, open to exploration for anybody. If it is Unlimited Only, well, that's kinda unfair to some extent.

Either way, I just hope that we'll be able to see RC and the new side-quest by the end of August. *cross fingers*

I said it was a prison i said prison island at least thats what i thought anyway haha.. i say he was still taken there by the EITC or else how would the EITC treasure fleets know where it was? and why were they full of men on board not all were sunk some got through meaning that island has some EITC on there and therefore i still think its a prison and EL patron was taken there un willingy and maybe El Patron plays a greater role than what we think perhaps he was the one who knew how to draw the key of Davy Jone's and gave it to Jack.

no, no. el patron died, cursed the lost sword, and the people living on padres moved his weapons to raven cove.

I renew my subscription when I see how big Ravens Cove is, and when I hear there is a rather lengthy quest. Anything less, then I am not going to even bother.

If you read the quest text, you'll understand that it IS lengthy. It doesn't look as long as the Pearl quest was(I'm talking about the original pearl quest, not the watered down, easier version of it) but it looks like it will keep us busy for some time.

EDIT: Is there even a boss battle for this quest? It doesn't look like it to me, and if there's text in the files that say El Patrons ship, what else could a ship of his be used as? I'm thinking they'll release the island, wit heverything on it, only we'll have to wait for the quest.

So while I was on test the other day, I came across this:

I noticed that the first day they updated it.. was a nice, non-crowded fishing spot :laughks2:

It does look a little "foggy" though..

where did ya get this from or assuming like i am?

It's on the pirates site, in the news or lore, somewhere. You don't remember seeing the news about El Patrons lost weapons being discovered on the mysterious Ravens Cove island?

It's unlikely Ravens Cove was the prison we saw from the movie, because it was a prison, not a town island.

Wasn't that the Turkish Prison?

Yea thats Turkish Prison.

Speedy where did you find all these listings in the Phase Files? I wanna see 'em myself.

Also how do you make animations with models?

You have to be an expert with computers to make models....

And you have to have the right programs.

Uh... hopefully after Ravens Cove, there will be quests for completing the treasure collections.

I've been doing treasure collection quests and for the navy medal Jack said once I find them all, he'll melt them down into a treasure "fit for a king", and I'll get a chunk of the share while he buys a ship to get off port royal.

Seriously? I can't believe we can't do a quest for completely these collections, after all the NPCs have told me about them.

Those treasure completion quests even exist. Disney either haven't fixed them, or they have been removed.

Somebody should ask them sometime.

They're probably going to release them sometime in the future, or make changes to what the NPC's say. Only thing I want to know, if they do keep the quests, will there be one for cannons of the deep and fishing?

I think we can all agree it'd be better for there to be quests once you complete the collections.

EDIT: Cannons of the deep? I forgot about those. I can't play the game since it only works on my old XP, and it's not mine any more.

I only have one of the treasures from that, and don't know anyone that has all of them. If they did have quests though, it'd be nice to have it.

Actually, there are 2 treasure collections for fishing. One is for regular fish, and the other is for legendary fish

Yeah, but they're basically the same thing, so I only used one word to describe them :D

i think it will have a boss battle one of two things deafeating el patron or deafeating el patrons and his ship great job speedy plz keep us posted and thnx again

Use Dowsing Rod

You cannot use the Dowsing Rod here.

You are getting closer to the spot.

You are getting further away from the spot.

You are right near the spot!

You aren't any closer to the spot than you were before.

You have already found the item with your Dowsing Rod.

The Dowsing Rod has determined where the item is.
Use it when you are getting closer.

^You'll only have known about the dowsing rod if you read the quest text before hand.

It looks like it will play a roll in the Ravens Cove quest, not to mention near the end it talks about protecting a friendly ghost from unfriendly ghosts, doesn't it? I'll look for it.

EDIT: Yep.
Lure a total of ten ghosts to an isolated grave stone and defeat them.
Summon a ghost at a grave marker and defend him from waves of attacking ghosts.

Awesome, and I just noticed that the mine is called El Patrons mine, silly me. I hope the release of this mine means we'll also be able to get the Quad Barrel Pistols.(there are two)

New ghost ships or do the developers just need to make their mind up of whether they're called skeleton or ghost ships?

That's weird, because dowsing rods were used to find water, not items.

Dowsing rods are used to find a wide variety of things.

Quest text have been formatted thanks to DavyD.

Thanks DavyD, they're much easier to understand now.

Uh oh... five ghosts at once. That's gonna be hard, but we'll get to summon help from friendly ghosts? This just gets better by the hour. This update is gonna be huge.

Wouldnt a Turkish prison, be in Turkey?

wouldn't the british navy be in britan and wouldn't the east india trading company be in the east not west indies

The Turkish Prison is in the Mediterranean Sea. I wish that someday we get a World Expansion through which we can access the Mediterranean Sea and South East China Sea (They have a lot of connection with PotC series)

Speedway I'm going to ask you again... Where in the Phase Files were all these lists found?

Test Files I think...

The British Navy is in the Caribbean to safeguard Britain's interests there. The EITC expanded into the Caribbean in the 2nd movie for the sake of "Good Business". It had a monopoly over trade in India and the East Indies.

What Test Files in the Phase Files, Muffin Pirate?

The TEST phase files....

Muffin he's talking about which files there cause there's like p3dfdkj etc etc files...

Test Phase Files are nothing different from ordinary Phase Files. Except that is, when the test server has been updated. New models and sounds may be in the Test version of the Phase Files. I can't keep leaving messages, I need to be INACTIVE.

i put a link in youtube with a video sending ppl to this forum

If you guys are wondering how SPM got the dialog and quest text, no idea, but anything to do with Ravens Cove is right here in this thread.

The bam version requires you to use an updated Panda3D that hasn't been released yet.

Hopefully this will be another boss battle. Its really taken them a long time to add a new one, and im getting really bored with the game

Do you know when it does get released?

hopefully this winter it's going to be on live

this new island will be on live probably this week or next week

The shrouded island came with the fishing update, and I expect fishing on live before the end of the week.

If you mean the whole new island, that probably won't happen for a while. Disney usually likes to release things together. I mean the island and quest that comes with it.

It's not like boss bot HQ in toontown came out with suits and a boss battle, so it will probably all come at once. But if they let us see the island without any quests, ok. That'd be a cool change of behavior for them.

Rather not hold you breath anything can happen.

So, are there any sounds of Raven's?, or of Raven's Cove? Or of fishing or potions or cannon defense? or of any new islands? I just wondered. :) :/:bookishfj7::piratewheelgo2:

Well, there are new fishing, potions, and cannon defense sounds, but you can hear them all while playing the game.

As for Ravens Cove, I have no idea. I haven't looked for any music, but I'm sure SPM probably has, if there is any. If there is, it'd be neat to hear, I bet.

EDIT: Nope, I don't see Raven sounds or the new island music from audio. The only "new" thing is unlock_success and unlock_fail, for something. The unlock success sound, sounds like something from toontown. I guess it means we've unlocked something, and get an award.

EDIT2: I know you were only looking for those sounds, James, but there are actually undress of new sounds. There's one for a weapon, and the sound is for "cursedIceHit" and things like "CursedThunderHit". I guess that's interesting? It sounds like cursed el patron blades.(there's a cursed sword which has a thunder attack, according to one of the sounds) These weapons will probably come out with the Ravens Cove mine.

I'm sorry, it's been a long, exhausting day for me. The only sounds for Ravens Cove, according to this thread, are the ghost howls. It doesn't say "ghosthowl", but it's a bit obvious that it's a ghost, when you hear it.

Someone showed me this on Test. When you look at your grenades (the description), it will say "Common cursed blade". Maybe that's an accidental hint of what is to come?

I wasn't aware of this, but it probably was a hint, and intentional.

After all, we're supposed to find cursed blades for Jack from the Raves Cove mine. Now, this game targets kids more, right? Well, obviously there will be common cursed weapons in the mines, rares cursed weapons, and possibly famed cursed weapons.

And we'll probably just get a common cursed blade after about thirty minutes, deliver it to jack, and that's it. Or once we defeat El Patron(if that's the boss battle) then we'll get a cursed blade and give it to Jack.

That's a really big hint, actually. There are many cursed weapons in the files, and even more sound affects for them.

EDIT: And there's also new(or old, I don't know) sailing music labled music_sailing_a-e(Not a-e, I'm just saying the letters). Some of the sailing music is very beautiful, and some of it is more action. I'd like to sail with these at sea, but they're not actually released, unfortunately.

Now that I think of it, this quest just looks like a longer (and more challenging/fun) weapon quest. If there are cursed blades being added, I wonder if we have to do this quest to unlock the ability to use them. That would be interesting.. hopefully our questions are answered soon :D

I hope that when the new island comes out i hope that it doesnt take forever to update and it doesnt make the game more laggy . _ .

You have to do the quest before you can access the Ravens Cove mine(s), which, told in the quest text and dialog, is/are the only place(s) to find the cursed weapons.

Remember, El Patrons sword says Legendary sword, not cursed blade. So yes, you do have to do the quest before you'll EVER have a chance at these blades. The weapons are probably only found by fighting ghosts in the mines.

One thing's for sure, POTCO is about to get a lot more interesting these coming months.

Both of those are bound to happen. The update time isn't an issue.. but every update they add brings in more lag.

Well, what I meant is, I wonder if we have to finish the quest in order to use the blades (at least off of the island). The quest says that we take one of his blades near the end, then (around 7 tasks later) says we take El Patron's lost treasure. Nothing would really stop me from getting the blade, then ignoring the rest of the quest. It's not really important, but if the quest is introducing these weapons (among other things), we should at least be required to finish it.

Can anyone please post the sounds of the ghosts or anything new that I just talked or typed about please? :/ :) :bookishfj7::piratewheelgo2:

Sorry Sven, I thought you meant if you had to do the quest for the blades, I wasn't aware you meant if you had to finish the quest.(this is where I need to be more patient when reading)

No, as soon as you unlock the mine(s), you can get cursed blades, most likely, so you'll never have to actually finish it for the cursed blades, although if the quest goes the way I think it will, we'll have to defeat El Patron in a boss battle to deliver cursed blades to Jack.

James, I'd be able to post the scary ghost sounds, but I wouldn't know how to post them here. Actually, I would, but I don't know of any decent free audio/music websites where I can upload them and then post them here.

I'm sure SPM might be able to.(not asking him to do this, though) The groans and howls from ghosts are actually pretty scary. When fighting ghosts it will probably be a bit... nerve racking at first? The groans just seem like something you'd hear out of a B-horror movie.

Remember that anything we found can be changed or removed from the game at any time. Don't expect everything here to be the final outcome.

PS We're not even sure if they're ghost sounds. They're only labeled as howling sounds.

i think potco is going to get real fun finally a lvl bump and something to lvl with a quest

Can someone please post the sounds though? :) :/ :bookishfj7::piratewheelgo2:

James, stop pushing. Either someone will post them or you can have something saved to shock you when all of this actually DOES come out.

Hearing "El Patron's Treasure" makes me smile.:) I've always been very money oriented in the game, and my guild has too, so we'll probably try to complete the quest before the island is swamped with people, and PR, PDF, and Tortuga become ghost towns.:mybadki6:

The Cursed Thunder Hit and Cursed Ice Hit sounds come along with Cursed Fire Hit (Bloodfire, Voodoo staves). I think some of the new weapons in the list are going to have these attacks. The names I can make up for them are Frostmancer's Broadsword (ice) or Zeus' Longsword (lightning, I would like longswords as legendary weps)... and those were just my imaginary names for them...

Apart from that, there are new classes of weapons coming - Rapiers, Epees, Scimitars, Axes... and even...Davy Jones' Swords. Yep it is a new class of weapons. I wonder what will it be? All the weapons resemble daggers, with hints of the Dutchman's mossy appearance on them. But there's no mention of a Cursed Blade class of weapons

The howling might be some noises in the Mines of the Cove. Or it could be in the main ghost town... I can imagine a HEAVY white mist and lots of howling with flickers of red ghosts along the terrain of the Cove... Raven's Cove should really be a creepy place IMO.

As long as it doesn't have a crummy looking sky and isn't too scary for our kiddies, I'm with you.

Well yea... Too scary like Metro2050 isn't an option. XD

First day it hits Test, BOOM, I'm exploring it...:D

What if you had to do a quest to unlock it at level 30 first? :piratesing:

-_- Thanks for Crushing my imagination.... LoL:D

Lol, hopefully if we have a level increase this "new island" of Raven's Cove should be interesting. :) :/:bookishfj7::piratewheelgo2:

The more I hear, the later I imagine myself playing this. Plus, it is only the phase files, subject to change, it might never happen... My happiness just turned into depression:sadmh9:

But there were no names for any of these new classes in SPM's weapons spoilers, or did he update the list?

Aye maybe they are still thinking of names for said new classes of weapons... I wonder if SPM has updated the list

Well, don't forget that there is a Cursed Blade class of weapons found on the grenade pouch by accident (it's fixed now). I'll have to check later for it.

haha el patrons lost inhale and exhale bag, most powerful weapon :D

I dont get it.

Dear Alonso,

Thank you for contacting Pirates of the Caribbean Online.

It appears you know your way around the internet, and also the test server. Raven's Cove is certainly on its way, the specific date will be determined by our development team to ensure that there are few to none technical bugs. This way the game will run smoother instead of releasing it to soon for a higher chance of lag and other performance issues.

For the most recent news and updated blogs, please stay up to date in the Caribbean by visiting this following link:

http://piratesonline.go.com/#/news_b...rrentnews.html

Alonso, I can understand your anticipation is very high for these new releases, but please refrain from our phase files. This is still considered The Walt Disney Company's property, and your account can be put on a long ban or even worse, terminated for not having proper authorization. If you wish to view our Terms of Use, then please visit this following link:

http://corporate.disney.go.com/corporate/terms.html

Other than this, thank you for your questions and concerns on the new and upcoming island. There will be many surprises, and I am sure you will enjoy the content that will soon be launched. Have a fun and safe weekend.

my message :i wanted to tell u guys that i think that raven
> cove and the quest and the ghost and all of that is going to be amazing.
> u might be wondering how i know this, its a simple answer "phase files"
> and obiosly theres going to be a lvl bump and all that but i was
> wondering could u give me a hint on the full release date cause the
> island is on test but we cant dock so just wonderin

I'm not completely sure about the whole level bump up thing. Sure it would make more sense for them to bump it up, but if they do, they need to make sure they have very high level enemies, because i seriously do want a challenge

ya that would be nice but we do need a challenge or it would get really boring in a way but it be nice any way haha

roger, did they say you could get banned from looking in the phase files? I did not know that... luckily they havent been working on my computer xD.

Last thing I want is another level bump... It took, what, 60,000 rep to get to lv 50? Something around that. Im guessing that to get to level 60 you would need to get at least 75,000, which is too much for the average pirate to get out of weapon grinding... maybe if they changed the level up system somehow at that point it wouldnt be so bad, but it would be absurd to have to get 75,000 rep to get from lv 59 to 60...

This quest seems fun... I hope that I can battle el patron one on one.... maybe get the lost sword from him too!

Anyway, I'm just waiting for this new island to come out... Im guessing they will put it on test a week after fishing comes out, maybe it will be on test for 2 weeks, then come live. And if we are lucky, the new story chapter will follow it....

Really? How is it hurting anything? Thats like a threat and you should take action. I mean theres a panda 3d site you can download to get to phase files but isnt part of Disney?

They said in the email that they were going to take there time to make sure theres almost no bugs so it can breeze through test and then to live and hope theres not much lag so it will probablly be longer like 27th of august through september 10th

People have been threatened before about going through the phase files. If you know enough about Computers to root through these files, then you should know that there is really no way for them to know you've seen them.

Unless, of course, you make changes OR GET ON LIVE CHAT AND TELL THEM!

My suggestion? Play around all you want with the phase files. Just don't tell anyone, especially DISNEY. And if you break them, delete POTCO all the way and reload it before you send in any reports.

Semper Fidelis.

ex8404

This looks like it will be so much fun! I can't wait! :)

I tried getting to them but failed those tour videos dont have excatly what I have.

All of this just sounds awesome. :) :bookishfj7::piratewheelgo2:

If raven cove gets released this summer then the quest might still have to wait for winter, dont think they can make so much all at once.

They're not making it all at once. They have been working on it for months. When we can get on the Island, we will have a reason to be on the Island. Otherwise what's the point?

Exactly, all that needs to be done now in my opinion is the fishing update to be released to live, and maybe a week wait for Raven's Cove and then it should be on the test game. I mean hopefully they'll release Raven's Cove before the end of the month to test because a lot of us out there have school and play the game less during the school year. :) :/:bookishfj7::piratewheelgo2:

Why would you TELL Disney you're peeking? Major no-no. The mouse knows too much as it is.

I would love see the addition of the fencing blades as well as axes. Axes were very commonly used for ship boarding. They were small, easy to carry and do fairly harsh damage.
