I have seen the second issue,that is odd.The maintaning of the Boss Battle has been horrible though,the intro cutsceen screws up too.Strange they didn't fix that when they added that amazing new Goliath....then there is your Bingham pic....perhaps he was just always put there....any idea why that shot is kind of.....dark?

Thanks for sticking with us BBlade despite your puter problems!

Ahh, good question. As I recall, before the redesign of the Goliath, Bingham was never on the dock. As a matter of fact, I never saw anyone on the dock. I've noticed recently not only Bingham there, but also the two navy blokes that were in the cutsceen too. Dont know why they are there. Maybe asing a GM during the next role play event might be a good idea.
I've also got a few screen shots of the Pearl with pirates off the ship. One of them I was actually back there with two other crew members. This seemed to start with the new Goliath as well.

On Test, the black pearl itself has "infinite take cover" again. The only damage sustained, is the damage-over-time from fire-based shots. For example, after the frigates, you can just sit there for ten minutes with the first three forts shooting and hitting you; you sustain zero damage from them. (The middle forts shoot firebrand, which does do damage over time but does not register any damage from the initial hits.) The final two forts are easiest, instead of hardest.

Sidenote: when I tested it this morning on test, I did it with a pirate that doesn't even have take cover. The black pearl itself was simply invincible to everything except firebrand and explosive.

1: I thought this bug was fixed a while ago? Last I checked ( Which was weeks ago, so surely I missed something ), the Pearl took damage.

2: I'm clueless. What in the Boss Battle uses Explosive? I keep hearing the words "Explosive Ammo" when people are talking about the Boss Battle, so who uses the Explosives? I've heard rumors that the Goliath uses said ammo, but the graphic detail from the Broadisdes look more like Round Shot.

Yeah, as you can see, I'm extremely clueless.

Yeah what uses explosives? I've only seen pretty much firebrand, round shot, and I think a little lighting (haven't done BB in a LONG time).

After a recent Boss Battle, I've noticed Bingham pops up even during the cutscene. I've also experienced that bug where you end up off the ship, like in the picture that djr 8fan showed us. I tell you, ever since the redesign of the Goliath, which was nice, the Boss Battle has been a bit glitchy.

I guess the Goliath's new look must have taken out quite a bit from the Boss Battle itself. Maybe that's all part of the Navy's plan.

CarribeanThunder,

Is Bingham popping up a glitch or is it intended?

Really, it's unknown whether this is a bug or an update. There are some updates Disney doesn't mention in their Release Notes. Most likely, however, it's a bug.

However, I have some thoughts on how this could be intentional. After all, who else would be delivering the note to the two Navy Guards on the dock?

It was fixed but it came back again is what he's saying.... now that totally explains how this one guildmate was bragging how he got 0% ship damage when he sailed the Pearl, the time he did that one fits the timeline lol.

Last forts shoot explosives. fyi: 1st set shoot round, 2nd & 3rd set fire brand.

CarribeanThunder · #12 03-01-2010, 11:43 PM

Odd. I have my graphics set on Custom ( Or had, since for some randomly odd reason, my Desktop died on me ), and when I've gotten to the last fort, I don't get "bombed." Oh well, shows how clueless I am

Thanks for the apparent reason given by Angel Daggerfury.

P.S. I do already know the first trio of forts use Round Shot, and the next quad of forts use Firebrand. I just always saw the last fort using Round Shot instead of Explosive. Maybe this was already fixed and I missed it all...?

Maybe you could possibly show me a picture of the last fort using Explosive, if you happen to have any?

Dan_OB · #13 03-02-2010, 12:25 PM

The last fort use to fire explosives the first round. but not lately. The BB has been made a lot easier the last few months. The last time I did one there where only 4 crew guarding the Pearl. The forts do little damage to the pearl. Its gotten so that its harder to loose a BB then to win one. I wish they make it the way it it use to be. Now its not a Boss Battle, its a Baby Battle.

CarribeanThunder · #14 03-05-2010, 11:48 PM

I have to agree. Back in the day, the Boss Battle was difficult ( Though I still don't remember them using Explosive - forget this anyway ). The fact that it was easy to take major damage, the fact that Firebrand left a stronger burn ( Or so I thought ), and the fact that the Goliath used to be a Mega Frigate with it's front guns - being able to fire at you up ahead, plus the lag, made it really difficult. But with that, it was a challenge ( Minus the lag ). The Goliath now is pretty nice, with the fact that it takes time to sink ( Though not like it used to - a full crew and it would still take some time to sink ), that made it tough. The Boss Battle now is too easy - minus the Goliath.

Well, at least we have it the way it was originally - fight stuff, sink the Frigates, destroy the forts and deal with the Goliath.

Speaking of the Light Frigates, has anyone noticed they lost their Navy Red color? Now they look like a regular Pirate's Light Frigate - plain and simple as that.

the guys that are in the cutsceen have their sound messed up
