TEST release notes 2/19/09

Good bug fixes but in my opinion they're taking too much time redoing islands.
I'd just like islands to be expanded. Tortuga was way too small at first to be the movie island tortuga.

I like the new town updates. Got booted several times last night, but that seems to be fixed. The graphics in the Misty Mire looked like a light show, and Butcher Brown has gotten himself a nice big space, but overall it seems well layed out, and much more interesting than the bland space it was before.

I'm not real fond of the changes they made to characters' appearances. They look too angular now, too harsh.

I'm curious about the player list. There is now a button on the player's card that allows you to make "player" friends with someone. It explains it now as making friends across Disney games, which seems useful. I have several friends with 2-4 pirates each, and this would free up a lot of space on my friends list. Unfortunately, when I tried it last night, it didn't seem to be working.

Also, if you talk the people in the town now, they have new sayings. Love that.

I'm not even on yet and I immediately noticed that on the selection screen - HATE IT!!!

My pirates look downright deformed. Boo, D!

who complains about redesigns after we didn't see too many new things for about 4 months.

Testing is not complaining. POTCO needs timely feedback about minor and major issues before stuff gets released to OPEN. Fleshing out the details of what the problems are, makes the reports they get more accurate.

But for you to say "nothing new in 4 months" is bizarre and untrue. The last major update was three weeks ago...

First off, I was tying it back to before three weeks ago, and second, I'm sorry if I tangled your sails in a knot. I'm just saying that pirates hadn't done too much before then but Holiday quests and minor things, I was saying these islands were good.
