Has the Boss Battle been dumbed down?

Is anyone else noticing this? I know I always try to ESC out during it, but I have let it play a few times and the audio is probably running 5-8 seconds either ahead or behind the animations. I have never had this happen before but probably the last 5 BB's I have been on over the last 3 months have been this way. At first I thought maybe it was a lag issue, but it has occurred way to many times.

I play pirates on two separate computers. One it works perfectly, the other it is out of sync (just under a second... Ive captured the video, and had to resync the audio). So I dont think the issue is on POTCOs side other than maybe they have a corrupt file in their distribution perhaps that my one system already has (not corrupt?). Seeing it not out of sync on another system anyhow doesnt seem to support it being any form of a programming issue though.

Why not, everyone else does, and hey.. you actually have a reason!

Well I have been on many boss battles with first time drivers that wont listen to suggestion, and I have been quite surprised that we survived and beat it. Each time I chalked it up to superior cannonfire. If your good at the helm part, then you know what needs to be done with those cannons, and waste no time going about it. Other than that ... <shrug> hehe never a dull moment in potco, unless your questing.
