They should have made it a boss battle. It would make no sense to have 200 ships trying to board it at once, and it only spawns at specifit times, making it even harder to board. Hopefully there's a story quest coming that will explain what this is about... And of course Blackbeard too...
I think they overdid the level of this boss. There isn't even a level near 71 for pirates, and he only has the LP of a lv 30 boss, and from the pics, the damage of a lv 50 boss. Why make him a lv 70 boss, and then give him lv 50 qualities?

I believe there IS a story coming up to this. Isn't it an odd coincidence that Disney puts two bosses for the Undead of Jolly Roger, just as Blackbeard (his crew, rather) comes in? Blackbeard will come IMO. Maybe they'll continue the Evil Curse of Doom story too, and HOPEFULLY that will build up to something BIG. I mean, the Kraken and DJ files are still there... And of course unreleased classes of weapons. True, the thing about the level baffles me too.

I know. Maybe according to canon, we could consider the sword to be just lost or either found by "some pirates". It really wasn't that an important element of the story anyway. But giving the Sword of Triton by CODE (not loot or quest?) to EVERYONE is just plain stupid. Hopefully they'll remove it from everyone and give to Blackbeard or someone

Peculiar. Just look at pic #1. They called the crew "mutinous and vile"... Could it be that the ship was taken from Edward Teach?

Here is a picture of the only time we managed to board it.

Yeah...

[swashbuckler1]

still hoping.
lol

[Davy_Mcwrecker]

The ship has a weak hull, but it's fire power us unbelieveable! It is like most flagships, the most damage grants the ability to board.

Wave 1 has enemies around the level of the officers in the BL battle
Wave 2 are several levels higher
Wave 3 has enemies around Smasho level and a level 70 boss

[bartholomew bladeroberts]

I bring photos. The ship has a good broadside. after it wears you down you'll really be in trouble. The ship is just a bit faster than a frigate. Bring a crew. when you board you're going against 7-8 enemies swords only all 40s bring large crew and tonics. I reccomend trying at level 40-39 its that challenging. but I like a challenge and i'll get one when it comes live. My test pirate is pitiful.

[MacIronhawk]

The ship is simply beautiful, I have to say. Hopefully this will be the start of some cool new ship customization that enters the game. I like the red sails, and if they can do that, why not us?

I hope this also leads to new islands that are infested by zombies(that hopefully look a little better than these), and more zombie ships than just Black Beards. This update has potential to build on more. The zombies may not seem big, but if they do some new modeling this could turn into a cool new enemy and introduce one(or more) cool new islands. Just think, if they can make a cool, "zombie ship", then they could make a cool looking zombie island, too.

I don't know, I'm just glad there's been an update. I've been into console games for the past six months, and I'm used to updates in weeks, not months, so this is a nice sign for someone like me that's gotten used to fast and major updates.

It has potential, but whether or not the developers are going to use that potential is up to them, not the players.

[ruisen2000]

Can you burn the boss down with blunderbuss? It's worked for every single boss so far...

[Solomon O]

Went on test, got one pic before my laptop battery went out.... lol
Here it is:

[Captain Jason]

I haven't boarded it yet, but I saw somebody else boarding it. The ship looks pretty good, but the enemies look harder than I thought they would be.

[swashbuckler1]

it just makes me feel like i wanna be on test more and more... xD

[HammyTheSquirrel]

it just makes me feel like i wanna be on test more and more... xD

hahaha! I got it yesterday...............


IT'S AWESOME!!! The ship and everything! We boarded the ship using a SOTL. Capt. Jay might have seen us yesterday... we were on it about five or more times in like three hours.

[ruisen2000]

Boarded her twice today, both time everyone died
She spawns every 20 minutes or so, and has quite a lot of hullpower, but her cannons are just really weak...

As far as I saw, it really doesn't do anything. If it does do something, please say so.

Triton's Vengeance was renamed "Bonus Damage vs. Jumbees." So.. that's all it does, apparently.
