It is possible that they are prepping new enemies in getting ready for an additional storyline - and bt putting in bits at a time and working out bugs they don't do a big "dump it all in and crash" when it is released...

That's an interesting idea Max. It's easy to get mad at Disney, but hard to look at the big picture. Maybe they're waiting and adding in small things at multiple times, so they just have to rewrite a little code instead of a lot.

That may be true Maxi, but the thing about that is that we already had some good enemies. And why move enemies in front of others to make it harder to find them when they can actually expand the Carribbean. Before I come back, I'm not looking for a different Padres, PR or Tortuga. But another main island, nothing like Cuba which is practically just the corner of a good island. But we need more islands that could actually help the purpose of adding new enemies, and keep some smart and new people that have very low levels out of our way.

Sorry, but Pirates just made a deprovement again if you ask me. I give this update a 2 out of 10. Mostly because the new enemies are the same build, and because they just took forever to add anything new but decided to add something they never even talked about.

That's great and all but that still hasn't changed my mind, I go back to Basic on the 23rd of this month, and will gladly renew my membership once I see something worth while.

No matter how HARD they work, not everyone is going to be happy. I welcome the new stuff and can't wait to try it out.

Sadly, due to Eliza's potty mouth (she's been told by Marines to tone it down) - I don't have Test Access.

LOL, Eliza!
(The only way i got on test was that I was lucky enough to be online during that 2 hour window that they opened up test access 2 months ago.)

I was on Test last night and didn't really think much was different other than Tim and Darkheart, which IMO is a mistake.
I agree completely with Basil's post about agreeing with Max.
I noticed basic people on Test, which I didn't think was allowed. Makes my UA less worth it, also IMO.

But that is what makes you so endearing to us!!

a rather unfamous update, if you ask me, it's like spray painting Pepperoni's on a Pizza and calling them something new.

Exactly! And telling us that its a new and improved flavor, when its now barely palatable!

[Maximvs]

I see this as a possible beginning to the big prize

Disney this year has been all about the mini-update... They release some items, then work out bugs, then relase a few more items - not big releases.

In fact, I expect we may even see a few more "mini-releases" where characters appear in spots, items appear (oir new weapons maybe just before), and other mini-updates just before the new storyline gets pushed out (I don't expect the storyline to be out on test long before live - there's no 'hold-back' of info now and any new storyline will be posted so fast - I think Disney will want to move it live quickly).

[Rackat]

Did anyone check on Neban or the EITC Boss on KH? Did their levels get lowered as well? What about the bosses on Tortuga and PR? I think I will spend some time this afternoon exploring to see if I can find other stuff.

I agree with you Max. And I agree with Max's post agreeing with Basil. Which when it comes right down to it means I, too, agree with Basil.

[wulfric]

I agree with your post agreeing with Max's post agreeing with Basil.

[Crazypirate]

I agree with wulf ageeing with Rackat agreeing with Max agreeing with Basil

[Evie]

I tend to agree with Max, Rackat, Basil, whoever.

If this is all there is, then it is very disappointing. The new enemies are cool, but they'll get old after a week. But if they are a prep for a new quest, then it could be great.

As for the Stowaway option, have you ever been on a public ship as a level 5 and been dropped off on PDF? I have, and I would have loved to be able to get back to Tortuga so easily.

Overall, I'm glad to see new things added, and I am hopeful that its the first installment of big new things.
