Well, so much for mastering sail last night. But ya know what, no matter how proud I am of that tag, ya, I'll give it up willingly to my fellow guildmates who have been waiting far too long for this.

Well so far, ive only visited Thieves Den..

First thing I typed... OMG!
Its actually a CAVE now!!! Roots coming from walls, and ceilings, narrow passages, more than one way through. Underground waterfalls... wow.
Aesthetically, they have done an awesome job (at least of Thieves Den).

Havent really seen any differences in enemies in this area though.

About to get on, but all I'm thinking right now is...dang Zep, gonna have to re-do the Wiki again...

And for those of you that are in a hurry for this to hit open, please, don't be. I'm sure that there are a lot of bugs to be squished. Let's hope D gets it right before open release.

beautiful

Tormenta cave is huge and beautiful. Its under the sea meets little house of horrors. Nice spread of enemies all over the place. The entire cave is tunnels that lead to small open areas, there is no more long line of site so the areas run more smoothly graphic wise. Very fine new enemy that is nasty but I'll let you all find him. Otherwise I hope you can read a map cause its a bear to find your way around at first.

Found another addition that they didn't include in the release notes - when you run up to (what I think of as) a portal - say from the PR north beach into Royal Caverns, Royal Caverns to Governors Garden, etc. Pull a weapon before you reach the portal. As you run through the portal it puts your weapon away like always, but when you come through to the new environment the game automatically re-pulls the weapon you had out when running through! I've wanted that since the very first day I started playing this game!

The levels increases are a dream come true.

The new environments are unbelievable - Lava Gorge is now HUGE. Get ready to get lost in some formerly well-known environments. The attention they've paid to detail in the surroundings is excellent.

The increased ship speed makes island hopping a breeze - it's a snap to get to Tormenta now. I'm not sure how this will affect sea battles yet - haven't tried that.

There are now 2 Dregs on the beach at each of the entrances to the Tormenta caves. You can run past them, or choose to fight them before heading in.

I'm having a very difficult time adjusting to the new compass - not a plus in my view, but it's SO overshadowed by the positive changes they've made I'm not going to say too much.

Disney devs - thank you!!!!

E.T.A.: Have "lost internet connection" on test twice tonight. Now, at 7:03 CDT, I'm getting the "site closed for maintenance" message and can't log back in.

The game is crashing, and now down for maintenance already, lets hope that gets fixed quickly (likely so). I've seen a few other minor problems so far, nothing that should be hard to fix. I've only been through Thieves Den, an actual cave with a path that splits a time or two, and did notice that Thugs are now up to level 14 in there, they topped out at 10 in previous observations. There are more than one buildings now so, finding that desk with the arrest warrants in it isnt as easy as it was before... hehe.

Question from prior post about this anticipated update: Unless its changed I was told (by reliable test source) you lose the "Pirate Master" Notoriety title, and the "Mastered" title on the weapons with this update.

Hmmm, I wonder if the previous rep earned at level 40 counts to level 41
