Not on test (Eliza's a potty mouth), but HEY they are making some real efforts here. Thoughts:

Revive - The critics have very good points on the Groggy vs. Jail issue. Seems to me that the ONLY time this would be an advantage is if a total stranger revives you and you had NO crew or Guildies to TP back to. If you're on TEST - let'em know WHY it don't make sense.

Higher Tormenta Baddies - Only downside, finishing the Black Pearl quest with the dig at the VERY back of the cavern is going to a LOT tougher on the average pirate, unless you have a 40 friend get there and you TP in. And if Seabeards (who I hate more than any other enemy) can whack out 1200+ damage, this might get into OVERKILL on the big D's part ('Oh, you want tough - WE'LL GIVE YOU TOUGH!')

Cut Animations - I actually WELCOME them as opposed to - it just happened- results. Brings a little more life to the game. They actually need more, but with a SKIP option like with the Pearl Battle. I think it'd be funny to watch a shipwright animation where they haul your sunk frigate out and patch the holes (like Yosemite Sam in that classic Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bugs kept sinking his ship all the time)

Looking forward to some of these changes making it to Open.
