Im sorry, your shorthand or whatever explains nothing to this old fart.

I need some clarity.

Are you saying the 2nd retraining is 2500 or 25000? which unfortunately still doesnt answer the question.. lol

nvm

The reassignment of skill points is 250 the first time. The second time 2500, I did mess up reassigning my Doll points so was able to see that the cost the third time is same 2500.

Cool, thanks LadyDi!

I wonder if you were to retrain something else now.. Does it ask 250 still? or at 2500 as well?

[LadyDi]

First time reassigning on any weapon, sailing, cannon is 250.

[Edward Edgemenace]

Wow, that is incredibly low. That changes the whole game, if you can fashion-show build them. I hope they at least add a zero, for open. (2,500 first time and 25,000 thereafter, seems more reasonable.)

Thank you for the great info!

NOOOOO!!! Does this mean I won't be able to see the stars anymore?!?! One of my favourite things in the game, seriously, is sailing at night and seeing all the stars. Please tell me they haven't taken them out... *cries*

Only by Disney invite - after playing the game for many months (and there are still many here that have been playing for months and not received an invite *vibes going to Zep*

Quiet the opposite! The sky is TOTALLY Wicked! Just look at a few of these shots in our Guild Section

-----

Some Notes:

Bad Things:
- The Chat Box is definitely broken... definitely needs a fix (chat does not stay on screen - only by keeping chat open to type allows you to see any text)
- HEX SHOT IS BROKEN on the pistol again! I'm asuming that has something to do with the Voodoo breaking on the Dagger... but currently Hex Shot is useless...
- Almost all NPC Ships are 'stuck' and can't sail anywhere... you sail up - they cant move or chase you (they can still shoot though)

Good Stuff:
- Reassign Skill Points on weapons is working (all earned points are pulled off and only the two base points are left on weapons). First time is 250, second time is 2500, as LadyDi appears to have tested the third is also 2500 (I have only tested for two levels)
- Ship Fake Grappling / Invincibility appears fixed... though hard to test 100% certainity because the NPC can move and shoot at you very well...
- New Inteface Options (like commands on the right, new ship crew box, now Logout Options Box) appear to be working (would be nice to find a few more people to test this with).

Are the skies permanently stormy now? Or only when a Death Omen approaches, or something? What I've seen so far looks absolutely fantastic, but would get boring quick, if there is no good weather for contrast. I love the clear-weather night sailing too. And those sunsets! Those gorgeous sunsets! The sunrise transition can go though...that hurts my eyeballs as much as someone shooting FURY next to me.

As in current Live - the days all 'cycle' and there are different days (some are stormy, some are clear). The Skeleton Ships have their 'mini-storms' in my pics because on test - I got graphics set to the 'blow you mind away' setting but... if you do those setting on Live I can get the ghost ships with their mini-storms as well...

Just a note: there is currently no STORMY type days like rain or anything... they just made the general appearence of the sky better for the current weather in POTCO...

[Stormhawk]

I wish there were stormy days. It would make POTCO just a bit better. It would be cool if there was lightning and rain, but i am not sure how much that would increase lag for everyone.

Have they raised the notoriety cap?
My level 40 pirate in test has its notoriety meter half full but no numbers
below the logo just "Pirate Master Level 40"

I don't think they have. I have had this happen to my open 40 a lot. When you recieve any treasure it fills up and turns green again.

I wish I could answer this one... but at L21 I got a long way to go I seen a few high ups on earlier today... if they are poking around maybe they can answer it

[Ironhawk]

Yes hex not working now. And when i break their attuenement using asp or throw dirt they still able to attack me right away. No delay.
Undead spanish captain and pirata now use double cutlass. Rather deadly.
