Not a chance, we don't look for scenery on current islands, we look for new islands that have deadly enemies on them.

There are more weapons in the game than you already know. They're just unobtainable at the moment (I think).

Complete List of Released and Unreleased Weapons and Sea Items

Hoping that they update Test later than normal, otherwise we have tomorrow night, and then we wait for much longer...

Not an update in sight, no updates whatsoever soooo, hopefully just hopefully tonight, if not, we're waitin another week and i'll be as angry as a rhino.

East probably refers to the Middle East of out planet (Arabia, etc.) which explains the name "Abu Nar Clan". Perhaps they will play a future role in introducing scimitars to the game?. But this has got me thinking that PotCo is being converted into Assassin's Creed or Prince of Persia LOL.

At least Assassin's Creed and Prince of Persia are good games... if they start taking weapons, I would probably be happy.

Well, Not every update that hit test came out on a thursday. The updates always come out during the weekdays, never on weekends.

It just doesn't make sense. Why give us middle east weapons when it is on the other side of the world? The only way I see this is the navy are trading and (If I'm right) the new island would be a navy island....

I'm crossing my fingers too that the new island will come tonight with the update. I mean if they said "Coming Soon" :" Catch Exotic Fish" and "Explore an all new mysterious island" like they did in that Newsletter/Code thingy wouldn't the new island have to come with fishing? :) Just like Ship Repair came with Potions? All in all I really hope more than anything that the new island comes tonight. :)

I'm thinking that the updates that hit Test will go Daggers, then Fishing, then Island(s), although I see a possibility of Fishing and the new island coming together. Of course, them going together is improbable - Disney usually prefers to promote one update at a time. If they released them at the same time - well, think about it. Would you rather go sit on a dock and fish, or sail off to explore a new, mysterious island?

Just possibilities.

i think that the daggers will come along with fishing, and the new island(s) will come by itself

My guess is that they will release daggers and fishing the same day on test, like they did with potions and ship repair!

Yeah but remember they just brought up the "new" daggers today, and they talked about Fishing and the New Island together so obviously they would have to be next. Since they didnt say "Coming Soon..." for the daggers. Honestly, why can't we just see a new island and fishing right now. I mean I know everyone wants more "new weapons" but a new island gives us more "ground" to cover.

As for the shortened swords comment. When the new swords came out there were new weapon abilities.

I will suspect that there will be NEW dagger abilities as well as dagger versions of other weapon special abilities.

ALSO - food for thought. I was watching my son play on Kingshead where the dust cloud is. Remember what they said about the NEW island? Shrouded in fog...

The new island will have the same dirty air or foggy appearance to make it harder to see and to help hide the enemies. I will gladly stake my gold pouch on that.

Golden Grenades?
 

Don't you mean the 'Holy Handgrenade of Antioch'?
