I can't launch my ship either. I'm wondering if it has something to do with picking up other quests before finishing that one.

I know I picked up Darby's quest and possibly another before setting sail for the first time.

They are not bugged... its all the other bugs you don't want...

- If you can't sail to them, whats the sense of release?
- If you find them and can't use half of your weapons, your dead pretty quick (thats fun... not)
- If your weapons finally work, but then they startbouncing on your head and you can't hit them, then your running really fast...

Nothing is worse than early release... though it doesn't seem to matter as I keep sending reports in and they release on their own schedule, so you may get the chance to crash all day with no chatbox also

This is usually due to ATI Cards (I've crashed several times after some updates...) but last night I was talking to someone who 'says' they have an nVidia card so not sure (I've only crashed usin e-motes and the chatbox...)

Trust me, Max has his points, though, I do feel having to wait a month or so is a long time for multiple updates. I wish that they would update small things weekly. In an order such as, Ship permissions one week. New enemies the next, then the Black Pearl Boss addition another week, with the fourth week adding the new weapons.

Still, I find these updates very fun, just the thing about having to start over and the pistol bugs make me angry about test.

I'm not crashing. I can sail and sail. I've completed Darby's quest. Already sailed to the Spanish Isle for that quest and on to Tortuga. I'm a level 3 cannon and sailing. It's not letting me get credit for the sailing. I think this is what the other person is having issues with as well. Without getting credit, advancing my pirate to get other weapons can't happen.

I'm running a nVidia card too.

[Ironhawk]

If we launch our ship from the Spanish or French island we enter SvS mode and won't get reputation point, plunder, or credit for any quest.

[Maximvs]

- The Spanish Pitnta (whatever his name is) on outcast is a mess - he does jumping jacks when you atack him - then freezes and hits you *magically*...

Swash II Gets the credit on that one - nice find there dude

[Sarah]

Gang, these new updates had better not come out anytime soon. Sorry. WAY too buggy. On top of everything mentioned here, now ships are doing a lovely ice capades number. Spawn, ice skate, spin, jump, skate on water again. Then there's the problem with them freezing after you hit them....this is going to take a while...

[Maximvs]

Yea the new 'frozen ships'... thats funky LOL... sail right by them and they are spinning like crazy wanting to come after you... but can't! LOL

I did send that in yesterday (along with a list of others...) its REALLY wacky on there at the moment...

[coolsparkle]

It also seems like everything is more aggressive (getting swarmed by alligators in Cuba, the navy in Kingshead, EITC in the caverns). It also seems like I'm doing significantly less damage with my daggers than on open. Granted, dagger is at l18 on test and 22 on open, but still. The rebalancing is leading me to get killed quite a bit more often than I've been accustomed to.

[League]

Those are some glitches: did anyone else see those enemies running like crazy?

[Poison elf]

There were so many things I was going to answer now don't remember, lol. Dagger is doing a lot less damage because it was reduced quite a bit for front attacks, and not to easy to ever hit anything from behind.

Whoever it was asking about doing boss solo, less ammo, and drastically less damage I don't see it happening, without a glitch. My guy at max runs out of fury on first bridges. Takes a lot more hits to bring them down, leaving you getting hit a lot more.

Definitely some bugs, first parts of quests, I jumped into padres caves and hit F6 to be immediately rejected from game, others now have been getting this some. Pistol had some problems today, wouldn't switch ammo. Spawning ships on top of you throw tracking off and you miss with broadsides. Obviously different video cards showing different problems.

Whoever was asking about stars, yes I have seen dark night times and stars.



Ya finally new DL/ release now lets see what got fixed, already heard doll quest is still out, but chat is working.

Notoriety meter at 40 has always fluctuated like that, not really sure why, and usually down after not being on game for awhile.

Doll quest has been broke from get go, but everything else worked fine when I went through those. Was one flaw, sink a french skellie, and it was a regular skellie ship that completed the quest.

I like max, lacking some help in areas like svs, pvp to test very well. Barrier glitches being fixed, I know covered tons of side glitches. Chat is driving everyone nuts. Seeing lag in a crew again today on a ship, and barely able to move. Being in a crew minor lag issues, and slight lock-ups when someone talks. As well as a guild member entering game.

Ya, I did. It is annoying and at the same time quite funny. Oh and uh...has anyone else seen the super tiny enemies?
