Annoying Much!!!!!!
 

Ok i am really getting bored of waiting like others i have been waiting too long for the boss battle to come back on.

i think i will be cancelling my membership this is just down right stupid.

to think we can send people into space, create mobile phones, have moving pictures in a box, but they cant fix a bug with a game.

sory thats my rant done. :)

Pirates just went down for maintenance for the night. Usually they don't do down til midnight or after PST, so maybe this is it!!!

Its fixed except for a few glitches in the crew option

fixed?
 

if this is fixed why does it still say disabled?

i think they brought it back down again because of major lag and even more glitches they missed

OMG i am so tired of waiting, i am completely losing interset in the game,

they are talking about bringing new updates out, why dont they just fix the issues with the game before planning new stuff

Same here. I've seen some pretty good bug fixes, which have made the game work better and more enjoyable, but the one I want more than anything is that Black Pearl quest to work again.

If they've not fixed it by the end of January, I don't see the point in continuing to pay. I've been waiting since somethin' like mid-November.

I've been waiting since November, too - I got to the Boss Battle the EXACT day it was taken offline.

I've totally lost interest in the game, between the waiting and the having to fight low level enemies for no gain.

I tried starting a new pirate, but didn't want to have two of them stuck. I used to play daily. Now I spend more time on this forum than I do playing the game, and I only come on here every couple of days to see what's up and if the Boss Battle's been fixed.

I'm really disappointed - I had such great hopes for this game - but I think January will see me cancelling my membership.

If you cancel memebership will you stop being a founder and lose all of your weapons and skills?

Only Disney can tell you for sure what will happen. Usually there's no guarantee, but I've found that pretty often you can get your account back later. If you cancel your subscription, they usually just suspend your account (not delete it), so odds are good that you could get it back at some later point with your pirates/weapons/etc intact. But as far as "Founder" status, I really don't know whether they'd give you that back.

To get your account back, you WILL need to remember your account name, password, pirate names, and possibly even remember the credit card number that you had used for billing. So if you cancel, you might want to save that information somewhere.

Again, none of this is official information, it's just been my experience from playing other games. Your mileage may vary!

Down for far too long...
 

I think it's a little ridiculous that we've had to wait almost 2 months for them to fix this quest. I don't understand why they think this could be fun for most of us. And we're paying for this game! Thankfully, I have a fun guild, and like to help them out and play with them. But, if the techs don't get it up soon, I'm going to have to rethink my membership.

I think it's great that they're working on stuff like customization of avatars, but to make that more of a priority than what is causing hundreds of people to wait around until the Boss Quest is fixed, just seems wrong.

On the bright side, I have significantly improved my sailing skills while I have been waiting for them to fix this quest. Widow Makers are #9 in overall ships sunk! Yay!:dancetl6:

Where to find Test Server Release Notes?
 

A friend of mine said she read on the Test Server Release Notes that the Boss Quest was fixed. Then she said "that means it should only be a few days before it is fixed on the real server!". That was a week ago... still no fix on the production server...

I've looked and looked for the test server release notes, but can't find them anywhere. The latest release notes I've seen on the POTC website are from Dec 21st... Does anyone know where I can find these other notes?

Thank you!

the test server's latest release notes are also from december 21

I was playing on test last night and reached the boss battle stage. I clicked on boss battle, and received a message that it's disabled due to some known issues.

The release notes do say that the boss battle has been fixed except for known issues with crew. When you get boss battle now, you have the option to either play boss battle, or play with crew. The button I clicked on was boss batttle (w/o crew), and still it was disabled.

So even though the release notes says it's been fixed on test, it really hasn't.

Here's a copy of the release notes from the login screen for test:

Release Notes - December 21, 2007

Fixed issue with teleporting to friends and crewmates while swimming that was causing game crash


Release Notes - December 19, 2007

Black Pearl Quest has been fixed - boss battle has been re-enabled. There is a known issue with the battle hanging at a black screen if you complete it with a crew. We are in the process of fixing this bug.

As far as Founder status goes, it would not surprise me if Disney stripped that off. I should be a founder, due to some glitch Disney tells me there is nothing they can do.

Heck, I'd even buy a Founder account at this stage of the game.
