Since I wasnt criticizing the system, im not so sure it was me that misunderstood. I was only criticizing what sounded like wanting to jump on ships without permission. Actually I think the issues over defaults (unless they were already addressed) are null, it seems to default to the boarding rules we had prior anyhow. I like this feature its nice.


I was mistaken however about repeating the main boss battle. Access to it was just never mentioned. If you have reached the boss battle you can do it over and over by going to "Lookout" and selecting Treasure Maps.

Actually, you can still solo the BB. Just don't choose a number and it allows you to solo. Which was a surprise to me since everything else seems to be aimed at ending solo play.

Hmm, perhaps I was mistaken on the solo bb. I will have to try it again, maybe I missed something. This is a entirely new set up, that we didn't see on test. I did try it though and wouldn't let my character go if I didn't choose one of the crew numbers 2 or above.

Ok looks like I got it now, first panel does it, not going into options, but that appears to just set lookout for other players, the two times I did it i didn't go anywhere while searching for others window just remained up. Maybe a bug, or it is waiting for others to join like pvp, not sure.

elf - I just logged back in. The trick is don't click on "options"...just click on the wording "Recover the Black Pearl". That way it takes you straight to the BB alone.

Censorship of the Level-Capped Caribbean
 

Its official, I'm done. I'm not here to complain, but seriously--this is the update I was waiting for? Disney's latest update confirms my suspicions entirely... this game is built and designed to cater to 12 year olds. (No offense to any minors that may be reading this.)

It makes my stomach turn to know that this "massive" game update consists of nothing more than a few bug fixes and 5 new weapon quests that can be completed in less than 48 hours by a one-eyed chimp thats missing half his fingers.

I'm going to save the forum some space and not go into all the ridiculous problems this game has, but I will touch on the one issue thats caused me to cancel next month's payment... Why not raise the level-cap? Why not raise the cap on weapons? Why not add more skills to the weapons? Why?! It hurts to see a LVL40 pirate running around trying to complete a quest and seeing them get no rep for their mastered weapons, and no noto for their LVL. What hurts more is to see a LVL30 running around doing the same weapon quest getting rep and noto for anything. Seems like a move to get everyone to LVL40, with an arsenal of AWESOME, BALANCED weaponry, (note the sarcasm there). Whats the point? Why not make some more powerful, make them HARDER to master... make at least one aspect of this game rewarding?

...when it all boils down, I realize I'm putting to much hope into a game that will never come close to being the MMO it could be because Disney is, well... Disney. Notice how all the threads on the Grog Blog closed when this "awesome" update went live? They don't want feedback... not negative feedback anyway. I wrote a very nice article and added it to the blog there--it never got posted, (and yes, it was much sweeter than this one). Disney pays some shmuck to sit there and filter anything that comes through to make sure all the negative blog-action gets cycled to the back.

Anyhow, my rants is over. Peg me for being a hater or whatever... but I'm done with pirates. Good luck for anyone trying to sell an account to this bump game as well... I will tell you this though--There was a young man willing to pay $750 USD for a founders account. =\

Yup, got that far, and loading the game etc. My character just would never go after that point while window remained in lookout for other players. Maybe try a differant account and characters see if it works there.

dont bother going to kingshead anymore- they fixed that as well. the fence no longs holds the navy at bay. same goes for any glitched area of padres you were going to.

Well i dont mind the fence and invisible being fixed its all the enemies running away and disappearing and flying that gets annoying!

lol yesterday i was facing a bouncing tiny swamp alligator, after 5 minutes of trying to shoot it i decided to throw a brace of daggers and hope that one of those would hit it. It worked :D As much as im ranting about the problems that came with these updates, sometimes i just have to laugh at how some things have ended up and how in the world we got bouncing enemies and such. Especially when i saw the gravedigger sliding around in the 'T' position (he liked aeroplanes). I just have to laugh at some of them instead of getting angry.
