Powerful Upgrades Enhance the Caribbean
October 21 2008




Just in time to defeat the New Enemies
Have you struck fear into the hearts of your foes with the powerful new weapons recently introduced in the game? Have you defeated the new high-level bosses and other undead baddies lurking around the Caribbean? Aye, these are only a few of the new changes in the islands! We've also fixed bugs in Privateering to ensure a fair fight! These and many more surprises await you - login now and check out all the new features for yourself! Afterwards, stop by the Grog Blog and leave us a note with your feedback, perhaps you can share how you reallocated your Pirate's Skill Points to be most effective against those nefarious undead.

We've also updated the Players Guide with new pages highlighting the new and improved Crew HUD as well as details on all the new weaponry.

Boy - I'd love to know what made this objectionable enough not to post on the Grog Blog:

The sky and other graphics look great. However...we have too much time to admire them because of the phenomenal lag in the game. Also, the new weapons and Boss Enemies are of little use to Pirate Masters since no rep is awarded for them. There are NPCs floating and racing all over the game. Please address these new glitches and raising notoriety and rep levels.

Umm, yeah, don't find anything objectionable in that one. Except maybe the fact that it criticizes the game instead of blind enthusiasm for the incredibly wonderful makers of potco.

Seems like the Grog Blog should have been named "Pirates Cheerleading Section"

Mr. Ukebec kudos to you on that masterful way for complaining.

according to this quote racing is a racist sounding word but any dictionary in the word will give you a definition like this.


racing |ˈrāsi ng |
noun
short for horse racing .
• any sport that involves competing in races : bicycle racing | yacht racing.
adjective
1 moving swiftly : he controlled his racing thoughts.
2 (of a person) following horse racing : Kevin was not a racing man.

phenomenal a big word... so are we POTCO players supposed to be a bunch of illiterates that have to use monosyllables to express our discontent with the updates?
or was that comment an attempt be funny? because it was leaning more to the insulting side.

Racing=gambling so that is the basis for rejection (at least it's as good an excuse as any). :-)

Yeah, I posted a very nicely worded comment about how nice it was to assign my skil points on pistol, and how I removed all the points from Hex-Eater since it's now useless. Not surprised that it wasn't approved, heh...

i'm guessing it was the word "lag". i would love to know how many e-mails they get asking about that.

maybe one of the new weapons should be the celebrated lag staff. deals +6 lag on land AND now +8 lag on sea. quest for this weapon is given to the player at level 1.

just for fun, I tried various posts on the "I Love Disney, POTCO" Blog. ER,, Grog Blog. Their definition of "spam" is anything that contains negative feedback! I tried to copy and paste some of the postings from a few of the threads here on POF, and everyone of them that had negative implications got denied as SPAM. So I just posted an entry referring back to the threads here!
