This actually is the best option for all players... because there are two ways people drive their ships for attack, and we could all have the choice

As mentioned I'm a big fan of the 1st way, simply because I drive the boat "side on" to see the broadsides on the target and the "radar compass" for my orientation of direction.

Those who drive "head on" find the ships give them their proper orientation and the compass for shooting.

Both options should be included

I actually sail both ways and prefer the the non-rotating on camera change option (the way it current is). I just can orient my mind to follow the compass and the visuals without getting confused easily.

LoL But I don't want to have to think!

I did sort of the same thing, actually, but this way is a lot easier for me.




Oh, another change - Lightning no longer flashes on low settings.


ETA:

Interesting bug I just got: Launched from PDF, but ended up "swimming" in limbo, but could hear all the high seas noises, including what sounded like my ship getting shot. I TP'd back to PDF, but ended up under it, and could still hear the water. I couldn't go through walls (any boundaries; had to say in the normal spots).

Found a door to a tattoo shop and entered it. Started out standing normally, but could still hear water. When I walked, I was on the staircase - walked backwards and went down into the floor, and forwards and ended up above the shop. TP'd to Tuga (loading screen had the new PDF picture, but said Tortuga), and same deal - I'm under the island. Entered another shop, and same deal.

Guess I'll have to relog to fix it, but in the meantime...this is fun. LoL

Pics coming...

ETA Again:
TP'd to an SvS island and it fixed it, sort of. Was able to TP back to PDF, and actually be on the island, but the loading screen showed the SvS island pic and said PDF, and when I launched my ship again I'm back in limbo. Hm...

Got the bug pics uploaded (and it's been 24 hours, so nobody hurt me for double posting ):

How it started:



Under Islands





In shops:









Loading Screens





Relaunch Attempts (Check out the compass LoL)







Etc. - Graphics/rendering bugs:

Under the lava isn't textured:


Pirate cards (the face on the first vest is a little creepy...):

Not sure when this happened as I was not on yesterday, but the bosses are back on Padres, the compass appears to be "fixed" (at least, my definition of it LoL), and some enemy behaviors have been changed back (like enemies in the Misty Mire will auto-attack again if triggered).
