Corrected Passive Skills, such as Parry and Dodge.

Halleluia!!!! So happy thats done with..

Weapons now deal correct amount of damage in Pirate vs. Pirate.

Does "correct" mean that they will do the same damage as if we're fighting NPC enemies?? If so, PvP is going to be a breeze. Also, since they were on the PvP topic, why didn't they fix the invisible glitch!??!?! Arrggghhh!!

I don't think so, b/c if they fix that the way ur saying, then they MUST do the same for SvS, coz in SvS, cannons & broadsides do NO WHERE near the amount of damage u do in non-svs sailing. Damage done in SvS is sadly only like 25% of what non-svs damage is.

I think they fixed exactly like it says regarding weapons, so WoOt. Blades were not doing damage like they should be, they were doing way less. That is the reason why Fine Blade, Pirate Blade, Rusty Cutlass were considered PvP blades, coz even the Lost Sword was not even doing as much damage Fine Blade was. In fact like none of the famed or rare or common weapons were doing as much damage as the "unenchanted" blades w/Powerfull skill were doing in PvP.

& yah they do need to fix the invisible glitch, getting annoying having to open my weapon inventory just to put grenades into 1 of my 4 weapon slots ONLY so I can kill myself when I spawn invisible.

Wait, you can change your weapon belt in PvP... that never worked for me.

Yea, that invisible glitch is a pain.

He's already in the Faithful Bride, but he's sitting down on live, so they must have just stood him up. He is sitting in a weird position with his hands just floating in space, though. They probably stood him up because he got tired of holding his hands like that.

Edit: Apparently I can't post a link to the pirates online wiki. But if you go there and search for Simon Hornbow you'll see his entry.
