Yes James, only Disney knows. However, an update this big needs to be thoroughly tested before it gets released. A few days is not thorough. Especially since mac users still can't log on (last I heard). It may come out soon, but don't get your hopes up. Personally, I think someone needs to get El Patron's sword that turns you into a ghost so that aspect can be tested before it is released. You never know what can cause something to go crazy. But, once again, who knows.

Yes, the El Patron's sword definitely needs some testing. But who knows? It's the rarest weapon out there.... a tester might not get it for weeks, if not months. There is probably a bug on the sword, but no one knows when we will discover that one. If we had to wait for a tester to find El Patron's sword, then disney would have to make it less rare, which I don't see happening, or else we would simply get the update on live maybe even next year. Already, the update is delayed for live (3 or 4 days of no testing when there should be basically a lot of testing, and disney introduced new bugs during that? Seems like it wil be released later then it should be), so I don't think Disney have time for us to discover the rarest weapon in the game. If someone finds it before the open, then yes, Disney will probably delay it a little cuz of the sword, but I simply don't see that happening right now.

Um, I HIGHLY doubt that sword is even in the game right now. They didn't say you could "actually" find it from some random ship or enemy. I bet that sword will not be in the game just like another sword. I mean, only one pirate would be getting the sword, so I doubt NO pirate is going to get it. Because it doesn't say, "El Patron's SWORDS". It says "El Patron's SWORD. Unless the game is just going to have 100000000 El Patron Swords, then no pirate is going to get it I'm sure. There is only ONE kind of that sword, and I think if anyone is going to get it, it's going to be Beckett, Jolly Roger, or Captain Walter. And besides, if it would turn you into a ghost, then you wouldn't get hurt. And that just wouldn't be right in the game..... unless Disney makes it so you would still get hurt, but that wouldn't make sense at all now would it? That's just how I see it.

I think it's really important, as Beorn said, that El Patron's sword is tested.

I think they should give the sword to some of the higher level players to test just to make sure it works. We don't want this going live and then having a whole lot of problems.

These are all part of the legendary El Patron's Lost Weapons! Getting them is simple. Just pillage and plunder like you've always done, and they'll drop from some of your enemies who found the fabulous weapons first. Here are some things you need to know about the new inventory...


And while you're looking - keep a wary eye for the legendary, Lost Sword of El Patron. This powerful blade once belonged to the famous conquistador, El Patron himself. According to legend, the blade was cursed with El Patron's last breath and his soul now haunts the blade. Anyone wielding this sword will have tremendous power, but will also be changed into the form of a ghost! Hurry and recover these weapons before they fall into the hands of Jolly Roger.

I'm pretty sure the sword is on test, just VERY rare.

Yeah, I see what you mean, but if there were more that would mess up the plot! I mean, it doesn't say El Patron had a million of them. Only one. So it would be pretty odd to see everyone having an El Patron's Sword at the same time. "This powerful blade once belonged to the famous conquistador, El Patron himself. According to legend, the blade was cursed with El Patron's last breath and his soul now haunts the blade." Now, I for one see a "this" at the beginning... not a "these". And a "the" in it. Not an "a". So It looks like there would be only one of them. It says he cursed IT with his last breath. Lol. So if more than one can have it, then it should say, "El Patron took all the swords out of his pocket and cursed them all". Am I right? I'm pretty sure no one is getting this sword except for Jolly Roger or some other evil guy or perhaps Capt. Walter. I very well could be wrong, but what Disney was saying about El Patron's Sword a few days ago, looks to be like proof that there is only one.

Buck, you have a really good point.

Now this is just a guess, but I think Disney isn't really going to take that into account, and every player will have the same chance to get the sword.(although it will be really rare, and we should be lucky to even find one.)

I for one hope they don't care about the fact there's only one sword, and we can all get it. Of course it'd be silly to see everyone with the same sword, but if you think about it, they can make the sword as rare as possible. It can be as rare as the clothing drops before the new inventory system. I never once was able to get a clothing drop on open, and if the sword is this rare, it will be worth getting.

Yes, I could be entirely wrong that the sword wouldn't be on the game for just a regular player. I just don't see Disney giving someone a sword that can turn you into a ghost. Perhaps they will do that, but I thought ghosts can't get hurt, and if they don't get hurt, well, then the person with the sword would be level 30 quickly going to 50 in a few days.

If the update is working the exact way they intended, that could be possible. But considering how long Test has been unavailable for people to test, I don't see this happening. The developers have been focused on the major problems with Test for a couple of days. Without testers having access to Test during that time period, only bugs that the developers themselves discover will be noticed.. so it could take longer than that.
