We should declare our independence and revolte against the navy. Now to name the country...

First time I have seen this thread I guess these are mainly info and screen shots of the test server?

Can anyone with access to the test server that knows how to perform the undead skellie glitch for unlimited ammo actually try it to confirm that Disney has finally fixed at least that particular glitch once and for all?

Glad to hear they are still working on the kraken and that it is being tested on the test server. Also never knew they where using open GL still for POTC and always assumed they where using Direct X

Why on earth would POTC be not using Direct X 9 from the start is beyond me.

No wonder people with newer video cards have not been getting the most out of this game.

POTC should be running Direct X 9.0C and contain an update in the launcher for people using older versions.

Just wanted to note, that the Kraken is not on the test server. The only information about the Kraken at this time is that MacIronhawk found the animations and the part of the textures for it in the phase files.

The kraken isn't on the test server yet.
It's really close to being done but just because the kraken's close doesn't mean the story quest for it is. But I'm pretty sure the second story quest is fighting the kraken.
P.S. The third story quest will probably be fighting davy jones and his ship.

There's barely any animation for jolly roger other than the sences in the tutorial. The third and fourth story quests are a while away.

Maybe they like having customers? The lower the hardware requirements, the more people can pay (and play.)

Well this isn't big, but it looks like they might've snuck in a maintenance/update overnight and didn't tell us, cause the Graveyard entrance is now appropriately textured.

Yes, they fixed a number of things, journal is now fixed, shop signs are fixed, where they remembered to put them in, it appears they forgot a few. They are fine tuning it without letting us know.. but they definately did slip an update in somewhere on us.
