This is just the topic I was thinking of making Will lol!
From the basic viewpoint,
1.I can change clothes! ++
2.I can't wear starter clothes. -
3.The Sabre is very nice +
4.The Blunderbuss is great +
5.Basics now have something more to do:Hunt +
6.No Boadswords or Muskets that I know of for basic - (Ye read me mind Will

)
7.Cuple Doll for basic +
8.Basic can wear small bandanas +
9.Basic can't wear quest clothes like Clothes Fit For a Pirate -
10.The invasion messages are cool now

+
11.Basic now cannot buy Miracle Water -
12.land cannons seem to be on their way +
13. Is there any sign Raven Cove will actually make an appearence in the game?Someone should ask a GM to describe the island.
For the most part I must agree with Will and Sven,starter clothes should have stayed,is there anyone basic with a coat by any chance?
