I do not like this update. Me and my friend were trying to loot, and we couldn't help but gain those levels. Rich Fireskull joined (thanks mate), and we fought a bounty hunter. We went away from enemies to repair, and right as we are repairing a bounty hunter shows up and sinks us. It would be more worthwhile if we got skull chests from the bounty hunter, as I am maxed on gold. This update makes it extremely difficult to level up. At least it resets when you dock. I think Pirates was fine the way it was.

I think Disney should add an option to turn off the leveling, so some of us can loot in peace.

I like it, but I had a TON of technical errors when it came out.

I can tell that ship customization and new ships is near. I bet you that that update is going to follow this one.[/QUOTE]

I hope so! And I like the update, for once it makes the game harder instead of easier.:HO4thFireworks:[

Isn't a challenge a GOOD thing? Nobody enjoys leveling anyways, mate. It's long and boring. :explotar2jr: Besides, bounty hunters give great rep. It makes leveling easier, and more challenging. If the game goes back to where it was, as the high sea's as a push over then all we will achieve is going back to long, boring ours on the sea's and public captains who don't know starboard from port.

And TS, about updates making building blocks: This update makes perfect sense. I mean, you have the SOT and the QAR, witch are O.K updates, leading up to this great update. For all you know, it will lead to ship customization.

I've decided that the update isn't as bad as I'd thought. Some things do need tweaking, though. And you can agree with my final statement,

Aye?

(3000th post. Happy, Pixie?)

Today I was sailing on my War Frigate with a full crew. We were REALLY powerful, firing all types of cannon ammo. We were sinking just about every ship in sight and our Health had barely dropped. We were well into Level 3 Scoundrel when along comes the Vengence and her explosives. Our health was nearly full and our sides had about 3/4 of their strength. Considering we had such a strong crew, I figured we could easily take them down. Instead, the Vengence hits us several times with her OP'd explosives, tears through our hull, and sinks us and our cargo of 13 royals, 1 Treasure Chest, and 2 pouches.

Where am I going with this? I like this update. With a good crew, you can do almost anything. I love to sail and take these ships down, but I have a small problem. When I have a full crew and a ship with almost full health, and one bounty hunter sinks us with explosive broadsides, I think something is wrong. I really would like to see the power on their explosives toned down a bit. I really hate it when I have amazing cargo and then one ship sends it all down the drain. I am not saying that I think the ships as a whole are overpowered. I just really am annoyed with the ones that are using explosives, because combined with the fact that these ships have incredible hull power, it makes for a rather unfair fight.

POTCO, my message to you: Please weaken the explosives a bit on the hunters and warships. I seriously think that they are overpowered.

Am I the only person that doesn't understand this update? Lol. Would someone kindly explain?

Why? All you'll achieve is more failed public captains, and people who level up so quickly the game gets boring for them in 3 months, because all they see to it is an endless slaughter of NPC's.

I meant toggling on and off, so it won't be turned off permanently.

I suppose I could level by just fighting skeleton ships, as they don't seem to bring up the threat levels.

Aye. Also, I'm I the only one to notice the increased Death Omen spawn rate? There used to be one by Kingshead, but yesterday there was four.

Wow! I'll have to check that out. :) I love fighting Death Omens.

I really enjoy it, but I fell like it'll just get annoying after awhile. Anyway, I said it was a good improvement. Not amazing, but still fun.
