[Sven Osymthe]

The revival system seems nice



and you apparently can end up in the same jail cell as someone by just dieing..



and a minor bug already, something tells me thats wrong..



and here is the new presentation.. you jump.. in a box

[The Skirata Clan]

always on the ground sven

[Davy Keelhawk]

well....... revive is some new content but its more of a side dish......... but i like the more cargo

[Shnoodell]

I think the more cargo is a reflection of people wanting to dump cargo, i guess it was to much work to dump so they just added more.

[Deadpool]

Now I gotta try that revive system when or if it hits live! Was that a timer up there too?

[Sven Osymthe]

Yes, I didn't get to test it with someone else. But I assume the other needs a tonic, then they use it on you.

[Li Wildtimbers]

nice screenies Sven

[Chris]

[Aaron McEagle]

By the look at Crazy Pirate screenshots if they are not harder then there is more than one attacking at once!

[Crazypirate]

If they can go over 40 now soon we will be able to too!

[Aaron McEagle]

Yes but im not there on test yet so they won't do that till I level up to 40 and master!

Now im doomed to catch up!

Found a Gator boss in El Sudoron! That's new!

[toanuju22]

well this will help players with getting gold but still why didn't they make the abilty to dump cargo! why do people who sink death omens juggernauts behemoths colossus's and dreadnoughts always get bloody cargo crates!
