TEST Release Notes - October 2rd

[Dr. Zeppers]

Is it possible the fees are smaller now for testing purposes, and might be raised?

Anyone try it yet? how much is the 2nd time, 3rd time etc.?

If you have the chance to try, thanks!

On my way back to the WeaponsSmith this morning for a 'second trip' so I'll post back in this post when I'm done for ya Zep

EDIT: WOAH! Went back to ask for a second reassignment on Cannon Skills - and the price went from 250.. to 2500! I don't have the gold on my test pirate to try it out for a third

Thanks Captain_Grizzly

Dreadtooth, eh? I rather liked the name Trapjaw, or, as I first thought, Tripjaw.

Question regarding the reassignment of skills for the testers....

How much does it cost to retrain a weapon/skill (I understand its a complete retrain). (Starts at 250?)

How much does the price go up each time?

If you retrain one skill/weapon, does the price for retraining another weapon go up as well or on an individual weapon/skill basis.

Anyone?

250 --> 2500. Or 25000. I think it's the first though.

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*

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).
