Yes, now I'm 100% ok with people jumping in PvP. Now I can actually reach the darn flyboys.

^Also, yes it does Swash. It sounds a bit edited, though, almost like they softened the growl.

Just think.... Years from now...... We will all be POTC vets, and we'll make all the new players jealous because we're all veterans with the thin bodies! :laughks2:

LOL thats too funny....

What everyone else sees on the screen must be completely different from what I see. Example: I remade Sven with the same (but new) body type. The NEW version of myself actually has some meat on his bones. The old version of me looks like he could use a Big Mac or two (see arms & legs)


I've looked at all of the new body types again and the only visible "gut" I see is on the two models of each gender that are depicted as being as such (by their selection icons). I think what Zep said in the test thread is right. We all have a very different ideal of what's "normal."

Honestly, I'm writing Disney a letter to ask them if I can be switched over to the new body type for Sven. It's a lot more ideal to me than the one I had to settle for when I made him the first time.

I have a feeling that the making screen shows the bodies a little differently than when they are made...

Sven, your pirate that is made looks better than when you first choose them. Perhaps I'll check this out for the ladies as well. Unless it is possible I am the only one that sees the triangle areas?

I just they don't change all the previously created pirates.

Cave Bats
 

Since the update cave bats were only located on the hill in King's Run but today I noticed that a few are present on Cuba beach. FYI

At least Cuba as "more" enemies now.

Well I got a response from Disney and they said that it is not possible to switch the bodies around. Oh well! At least I'll have some fun with my new Sven and see where that one takes me.

I did reply back stating about how they changed the existing avatars back in February (where they changed the avatars to optimize framerates) and asked them what was different about this release where they could change an existing pirate.

This just makes this update a little more pointless in my opinion..

I can see some of the bodies needed updates, but they could of done a better job. I'm not so sure about the female pirates, but i'm sure I read that they have triangle shaped parts now. But the males, the only ones that really needed an update are the bodybuilder like one, and the small (Sven Niscadae) like build.

I could see if our pirates all got turned into this new type, but the fact they aren't doing that sorta makes it a waste. It just makes our older pirates different from the new players.

If that is the approach they're gonna stick with, these new bodies should be added as extra types (as noted before), and not replace the current builds. Because as shown by Sven.. they aren't really replacing, but rather removing the old options.

And you can tell from the HUGE amounts of 'body type' complaints on this site and other POTCO Sites that Disney is listening to its customers when making upgrades! (NOTE SARCASM!)

I mean, hardly a day goes by that one of us wasn't lamenting the odd shape of our pirates! And now, those of us who complained get to see the improvements in the pirates we complained about... err.. wait... nm. (Note more sarcasm)

I mean, who needs a higher notor cap, more content and more missions now that my new pirate can have a triangle derriere!?!? The EXCITEMENT!!!!

Seriously - why don't they listen? Meh.

It would have been nice of them to add new options instead of change the existing ones.

I think its ironic how often things are changed to be "realistic" in what is a fantasy/movie pirate world.

But progress is progress!
Patiently waiting (as best I can be)

Last time they redid the framerate from the original body types but this time there are new body types with a NEW framerate. As in, it's probably impossible for them to change the original body types to the new body types because the framerate is completely different. Maybe the different framerates make it impossible for them to switch body types.

So... the old body types stay in the game. If they couldn't switch us from the old body types to the new body types then why didn't they just make them new options for body types? Such a waste.

Ok so I can see so far that month of July has had alot of progress for POTCO but here it is August and if the Revive system is there BIG UPDATE...

WOW Big D just WOW.....You really are havin some type of behind the scene's issue we dunno about....Is the POTCO going to be the next PIXAR story??? I HOPE NOT!!!

Revive is hilarious. I'm really lovin that. But the new bodies. Ugh! People do not look like that! Look at them from the side too and you'll see what I mean. The guys are all but one wide side to side but flat front to back. Where in the world are the muscular pirates? Come on D! Real pirates would have been in top shape from sailing, slinging swords, and all the other piratey things they do for a workout. :degen: Methinks skinny little stick pirates and twinkie eatin pirates were rare but that's what we get to pick from? No more jock mold with the actual pirate muscles? No more refrigerator size guys with the itty bitty heads? Well drat!

And the girls... *sigh... My favorite girl body is gone. I'm sorry but all women do NOT have huge hips D! There's not a good lookin girl in the bunch now. What, are only funny lookin girls pirates?

Makes me very glad I made my last guy pirate just 2 days before the change. My current pirates are permanant. No deletes, not happening. I like my old body team. So me, I'm headin to the Faithful Bride to raise a toast to the end of the era of good lookin pirates! Anyone who wants to is welcome to join me.:buds:
