I have already has my say about this in another forum, but I will add a minor input to this one:
THE GOOD: Retraining weapons! Athough, out of 3 high level pirates, I will only use this for one of them. The ship borading interface at the dingy is nice, as is the ship captiains controls over who can board. the new graphics are pretty, but really have no impact on me. I understand those who were having graphics problems think thhis one is much nicer, tho. THE BAD: I pity anyone who has a new pirate, or a new player. Nades were always worthless as a weapon, but now they will be impossible to even level. Not just the fence at KH, but the removing of Hex as a useful way to neutralize an enemy. Top that off by "fixing" the flagship glitch, you can't even throw nades at ships at sea anymore. There will nver be a way for someone who has just finished the nades quest to level them up! THE UGLY: Swarming enemies. Super Speed enemy ships and on land. Worthless daggers. Worthless Hex Eater shot. WORTHLESS level 5 weqpons quests. Fixing all the glitches is something that should be done. BUT, they didn't do a darn thing about fixing the glitches that the CHEATERS use in SvS and PvP. The only glitches they fixed were the ones that affected a single player's ability to play their own game! AND all you high level players who think that those level 5 weapons are so great: YOU MASTERED THOSE WEAPONS with the level 4 weapons, haven't been getting any rep with them since you mastered them, didn't get any rep questing for the level 5's, and aren't going to get any rep using them!!! They were a placebo! Neither of my pirate masters did the clothing quests, the SvS quests, nor are they going to do the level5 weapons quests until Disney raises the Notoriety and weapons rep caps! I'm not going to throw all that rep away, then find out that they raise the limits, and the only way I can get there is by grinding weapons. I'll have quests to do then!

I have random enemies attacking me now.
It's almost as if the AI has been updated. Enemy ships have been donig their highest damage all the time. That's not supposed to happen. And what about the bosses? A level 17 samuel has the health of a level 30 enemy. Sarah: Thank you! I wasted my time on test reporting bugs because I wanted my higher level pirate to have fun when this update hit open. I reported 10 major bugs. Enemy ships attacking for no good reason. Enemy ships following you from tortuga to padres. That's two of them. I reported an increase in lag once. I don't think I'll bother reporting any bugs next update. EDIT: I think the dagger did get messed up a bit but I think it makes the game more fun. I don't like a game that's too easy and the dagger change has made it harder. I wish the skills would recharge faster but other than that I like how we can do extra damage if we get enemies in the back. |

I agree with everything that's been said so far. The update is pure garbage and I am seriously considering cancelling my unlimited and stopping playing altogether. The only good things out of it were the reallocation of weapon points and the boarding permissions. But those few good ones are greatly outweighed by the new horrible ones.
Update gets a 2 out of 10 from me.

As for the updates the Gun is freaking ugly. I hate it. I liked the look of the old dagger better too. But the other weapons are OK. The lag is horrible. I hate the fact that u cannot choose a combo variation of your choice (like skip cleave). But am otherwise happy i can fix my skill allocations in other weapons. I hate that they made Hex Eater useless. It was a good way to lvl up. I agree with the poster that they should have just reduced it's effects so that u you had to tag them with it from time to time to keep them disabled. And i hate that I found out how useless it was after i had already redid my gun skills so then had to pay 2500 to get rid of a useless skill and put it where it's worth it like on Bane Shot. I hate what they did to the dagger (my favorite weapon to use). We are Pirates not Assassins so what is with the backstrike? If you really think about it ALL the weapons should do more damage from behind, so why pick on just dagger? I can forgive the changes to sand even tho I use it in PVP a LOT. I do like that you can break attunements and interrupt with certain weapon skills. It's about time u can break the attunement of those PVPers that love to doll you and run instead of stand and fight (or jump and fight, whatever your style may be). The Fence at Kings is a sorry loss and i agree with the other posters that it should never have been changed. I'm sad to see the King's glitch gone but happy to see the empty Kings is still there. I hate what they did that allows ppl in PVP to kill in one blow. It's not fun anymore to go in and get double or triple teamed and not have a fighting chance (not even to run to get some space). They should have fixed the PVP glitches but leave the rest alone. I only really play for the PVP and to see my friends anymore because of the lack of content (the new weapons quests could all be done in a day or two). Now they have taken that away from me. AND I play with two computers to lvl up so I can heal with one of my mastered pirates while the lower one attacks. and I found on one computer I could have my pirates side by side, yet on the other they were like 10 feet apart. So now that explains to me why some ppl in PVP can hit from a mile away yet I can't hit them. They are in front of me hitting but from my perspective they are far away. That really bites and needs a priority fix. Well that's my two cents for now. Chele Last edited by Cheleszoo; 10-20-2008 at 02:13 PM.. |

My two level 40's have had that red in their Noto bar off and on for over 2 months. Well before this latest Downgrade to the game! My oldest used to be listed on DxD as a level 41, (Months ago) but no longer. Now only shows as level 40. And, that red in the Master status bar, it is there sometimes, and not there others. SO, I still don't believe that anyone level 40 is earning any rep! That staus bar is just another Disney bug!

The lag is bad. It is as if there is too much for their system to process even on dead servers. Sure the better look is nice but it ruins the game play cause now the lag is bad. I've sunk a few time because the meter isn't showing what my damage really is. I had 3/4 hull left and one shot later I went down. Same apply to enemy's I'll hit them and hit them and their level doesn't go down and then it will show half their level is gone and then back up and then down again. And no there was no others in sight. The lag seems to be the worst in port royal. Buildings not appearing fast enough causing me to walk right into them. Reallocation of skill points is both much too cheap and too easy. I can see the first one as a gimme for the low amount but they wipe your whole slate clean and allow you to redo everything. Why not just give you one point at a time and to reallocate the point you have to reearn it. But you would get to select which ones to remove. |
