TEST Release Notes 9/29/09

[Midhav]

i place my bets on andaba. one good plan is that high lvls stay up front while low lvls stay at the Governor's Mansion just in case. tee high lvls obviously have to split in groups. some medium lvls can stay somewhere in the middle of the city and guard from the staircases, able to throw grenades, daggers, etc

ADDED : But heres the worst case scenario : a couple of high lvls ( 10 in number ), enter a server where there are a lot of noobs in PR. each of them go either offline, or to another server. now if the noobs were hundred in number. Well lets just say that those pirates were left taking on a hundred undead, and nothing was heard of them ever again

But we have been asking for it nearly since the game was released, since the official site has a picture reflecting an invasion. (the old screen reflected old tortuga bein overrun by skels)

They look at everyones suggestions, it seems what they get the most suggestions for (not as unique as their creators thinkt they are), are the ones that get adopted and attempted.

Not to be one to correct you Zep, but the skeles/stumps do indeed attack the barricades themselves. Both times I've played most have protected the wharf, and the skele's have taken down the Bridge and Farmer's Row Barricades. The second time we lost the Beach and Old Town barricades as well.

The times I played I was in the middle, and/or the main street as the undeads came from the bridge
those that made it to the barricade, ran past the barricades not attacking them. (Id chase and stop them after they'd run past)

I didnt see any barricades go down when we participated except the wharf one when Jolly Roger came on the scene. He did then attack the one further up near the Governors Mansion.

So it may be a matter of where, and their numbers at the time, I dont know.

Where'd you see that in the release notes? The huge amount of rep we get now is still there on test. I'd be surprised if they removed it, because it'd make getting your weapons to level thirty near impossible.(not to mention the amount of time levleing would be extremely boring)

That's also in one of the old commercials and news updates on the POTCO site. They gave hints at enemies invading your ship, and showed a huge amount of skeletons on the old Tortuga.

It's a really good Insider Video. Not only do they hint at the invasion but they show Jolly Roger in some bumpy, mysterious looking woodland with his minions.

And one of the more interesting hints is at SvS. They actually show the spanish flag as an enemy ship. Note that I said enemy ship, not an SvS ship.

They hinted at a lot of things in the old videos, and I/we can only assume that some of the other things in the old videos hint at future content.

P.S. What's this wharf people are speaking of?

The Wharf Barricade is the barricade directly up from the EITC dock.

My access to test was approved, and I like the looks of everything. The only thing I do find glitchy is Tattoo Bonita, who waved to me, and then jabbed her Tattoo customer directly after.

Also Gordon greer (thats his name I think...) in Fort charles, He got out of his head thingy, Waved to me, then just stood there

Oh My Gosh!! I have been going thru some real life problems and have been off pirates for over a year, and let me tell you I sure have missed everyone and playing pirates. I resumed my account about a week ago and the first thing I saw when I logged on test was an invasion!! It was sooo Kewl!! lol I LOVED it!! And I cannot wait to see what is going to happen next. Thumbs up to all the game creators and everyone that works to keep playing pirates so exciting! Hope to see everyone in the game!!
Luv to all,
Nikki ( aka Sierra Nicole, Liberty O'Bonney,
and my test pirate Katrina O'Bonney)
