I have not experienced the immediate attacks upon launching my ship and I have not had the empty ocean thing either...

I have a love/hate thing going with sailing right now. I love how my War Frigate can hit 19 knots on Ramming Speed. And I love that my ship can no longer get "Stunned."

But I hate the fact that it takes 3-5 broadsides from a War Frigate to bring down a Panther. It took me two just to sink a Navy Ferret. I hope this was a mistake and not intentional. I reported it as a bug.

Cuba/Pantano River is a disaster area. I looks like the coders started it and then got bored with it and went to White Castle or something.

The skies and Islands look nice and everything but I get booted EVERY time I enter the Misty Mire and I spend three times the minutes staring at 'Loading Screens" than I did before the update. I really hate loading screen by the way...

The Tortuga invasion is OK but the fact that Tortuga is small and crowded to begin with means that adding 100 more pirates and undead and all their special effects turns POTCO into a SLIDE SHOW on my PC.

I still think that this update was worthwhile and may be the harbinger of good things to come but it is no where ready for prime time yet...
