Same here! I've tried everything i can think of! And nothing..
Hope it gets fixed before the opportunity to pick up the quest runs out!

The highest I was able to get using a single weapon without crew rep was 115 points, so I think that's it :)

Aww, I was hoping for atleast 150, oh well, thanks.

115 is consistent with what I have seen/heard as well.
Everything seems to give a little more rep than it used to.

I hate to be the guy to say this but , THE BLACK PEARL IS NOT A GALLEON , ITS A EAST INDIAMAN!!

Anyway 20 knots? What about sloops of war 25 knots?

Actually, Right after the first movie came out, there were TONS of discussions by experts in the field of old style sailing ships. None of them could absolutely identify the type of ship that the Pearl is. The best anyone could do is say that it was a Styleized version, created specifically by Disney, losely based on sections of East Indiamen, Galleon and Frigate.

What they really ended up saying was that the Black Pearl is a figment of Walt Disney engineering.

I do understand releasing before POTBS, and then redoing a lot of things, but I still don't understand one thing. Does anyone know if they have any plans on reusing the old caves? That's so much area and content they could bring back, and I'm sure that at least some of us don't want to see it go to waste.

Don't get me wrong, I like the new caves. They look better/more real than the old caves, but I'd like to see them reuse the caves in the future. Every new cave on test is different than the others, while before they were way too similar. I just don't want to see the old cave area go to waste.

I just can't understand why they took all that time to make the caves and now they're throwing them away. It makes me feel like I wasted a years POTCO subscription on something that wasn't even supposed to be in the game.

Nope, still can't get on.
:sadmh9:

I agree with Mac, the old caves should be reused. Places like the catacombs had helped me to fully master both of my level 40's (on nades - since that was last). With that gone, it is gonna take a lot longer (high level enemies or not, beings how max rep is 115 or so now).

Plus, throwing away some of the old things in the game may be a step in the right direction. They also might not of been intended to be there at all (but due to limited time they were). I for one would still like to see them implemented into the game somehow.. like how Basil mentioned the towns. The addition of a new island or two could possibly do so..

None the less, i'm happy with what they've added. If the old is gone for good, it will take some getting used to, but I guess theres some progress.

LOL.. The old caves were poorly dug, had no supporting beams, and with all the fires and explosions over the past almost 2 years, the walls just finally gave way and they caved in. I'm just grateful that they skellies all were able to find new homes for me to fight with them in.

I do think I will miss the Catacombs though. There and the old Tormenta cave were like second homes from level 30 to level 40.

Thanks guys. I am re-downloading and installing Test once again.
We shall see what be forecometh anon and hey nonny no.
:piratetongueor4:

Just a note on test log in not working for some.. re-downloading the launcher doesn't always work. Mine was messed up, but I just restarted my computer and it worked fine.

I will reply to the self-induced hijack, and then redirect back to the original point of the thread:

My point was not that any other ship could not attain higher speeds, but that 20 knots for the smallest sailing ship they have is not realistic. Each boat creates a bow wave and a stern wave. When a boat reaches "hull speed" the bow and stern waves coincide to make one huge wave system. A sailing boat gets trapped in its own wave system. For a 20 foot boat, hull speed is about 6 knots. For a 30 foot boat, hull speed is about 7.3 knots. Therefore, in order to achieve 20 knots, the boat would either have to have a motor or be much larger (approximately 225 feet long along the waterline) than the sloop rig could move effectively, reducing its ability to even approach hull speed.

Additionally, my point of the Black Pearl being a galleon is based upon the three (and only three) classifications in-game of ships--either sloop, galleon, or frigate. It is built as a galleon by the game's standards.

Finally, the class of the Black Pearl is a SHIP (or a fully-rigged ship), by the classic definition of a ship being a sailing vessel of at least three masts, square-rigged on all masts.

END HIJACK

I do enjoy the new sailing improvements. Perhaps there can be some more improvements in the future AFTER STORY CONTENT IS ADDED in which we could have wind direction and speed affecting our ability to maeuver in battle. This would add a new element to sea combat that would take a new level of imprtance in Privateering, especially if one needed to achieve the weather gauge to gain an advantage over your opponents.

Additionally, I like the look of the caves. But unless that change was necessary for NEW CONTENT I'm not infavor of it. It was as unneccessary as the redesigned islands. New Lava Gorge doesn't actually DO anything. It's just different.

Let me put it this way: if I have a job and I want a raise, I go talk to my boss. I ask him for a raise and he puts me in a different job that still pays the same, it's different. It might catch my attention for a bit. Scenery might be a nice change of pace. But I'm STILL NOT EARNING MORE MONEY, which is why I went and talked to the boss in the fist place.

ME: I would like more content, please.

DISNEY: Here's Privateering!

ME: That's a nice addition to the game. I like it, thanks. But what I really meant was I have completed the Black pearl quest and would like the next story chapter.

DISNEY: Here's new islands!

ME: Ummm, they're new all right. But I would like another story chapter, if you please. The last one just kind of , well, stopped.

DISNEY: Here's the new revive option!

ME: DUDE! I'm not having an issue with going to jail! Sheesh! I did that plenty when I was new to the game. No biggie, okay? How about some new C-O-N-T-E-N-T?

DISNEY: Here's new caves!

ME: Are you MENTAL?

Did that several times Sven and still................
JIPPED!
