[swashbuckler II]

Ill be on in a min

[Sarah]

Come take a tour with me....


Player interface is cool. It's going to take some getting used to, but the options here are awesome. You can friend, guild, report, tp, and open a side bar to check their weapons stats (thought I got a pic of that but it didn't go thru, ty Grace for being my guinea pig )



The Clothing options are nice, you can switch colors and see what it looks like before you buy



The town layout is confusing to me....but it looks really cool. Lots of twists and turns, stairwells, bridges...and a few new gypsies.

one in town



and one in the fort



And the fort is sweet






More to come

With That The options are the circular icons on the right side (crew, friend, guild (if you're a gm or officer), whisper, ect)

The Players Button doesn't seem to do anything at this point. Anyone?

The difference in chat is words turn red that are typo's, numbers, banned words etc. They go through to other players now instead of cutting your entire sentence. (good thing) I don't like the auto send they have either. (cuts from back spacing something you didn't mean to say)
As I understand it, those on parent controls don't receive the red words you have in the sentences you sent.

I have found no point to the players button either.

Crew and all options now are based off clicking a player/player name and the pop-up window Sarah has a pic of.
Seeing a few issues in crew, but it pops up as before with members in crew. Now a little icon by crew leader, and what skills are being used by others as before.

Crew leader having issues when they log, they remain leader. (perhaps how its meant to stay)

edit: After testing sailing out today, the word of advice this patch is work your sailing now live.
