Test Release Notes - August 26, 2010

[Beorn]

Veteran is a new rank where a person is allowed to invite others to the guild but can not remove others from the guild.

[Jamesvsthekraken]

[*]NPC ships once again can attack player ships that are within range of them.
I didn't think this was a bug, now it makes it even harder to plunder ships.
[*]Fixed geometry on enemies, such as Spineskulls, Urchinfists and French Undead.
This still hasn't been fixed even when I have send in at least a dozen or more feedback forms and a bug report.
[*]Simon Hornbow now stands in the Faithful Bride in Tortuga.
Who is this NPC Character guy?

I agree, this better be a darn good update. I think it's an excuse, maybe they are working on something bigger as we speak and aren't working on fishing as much. Or maybe they're just being lazy. :/

i think it's this...

I dont get it.. Why is it such a big deal of you crash when logging out?

Did i miss something?

[Captain Del]

I think by "crashing when logging with weapon equipped" means the entire game closes. So, if you were logging out to switch pirates, the entire game would shut down.

And, seriously people. This update ISN'T worth the wait, which is exactly why we all should stop acting like if we go one more day without fish we're all going to die.

And no, they aren't being lazy. Why would they be lazy on an update that might draw peoples attention back to the game, if only for a moment? They're obviously trying to get all the bugs out.

And before anybody says "ZOMG JUST GET IT OUT, WE'LL FIX TEH BUGZ ON ZE OPENZ!", that's not what is supposed to happen. Test is for Testing, Open is for playing. Unless you wantr to spend your time finding and experiencing bugs, instead of playing. And while I'm at it:

- Just because you haven't found any bugs, doesn't mean there aren't any left.

- Minors bugs that we let go will build up over time in to a big problem.

It's kind of a sad thing that I've had to restate my points to such an extent I have memorized what to type.

This update is worth the wait for me, mainly because I find fishing enjoyable, and because with it comes treasures. Now I won't have to play an hour to get a wool cannon ram in CD.(I'm up to three wool rams.)

And, Disney isn't lazy. Tell me their lazy when you're doing their job ten times better. We can't call them lazy unless we can do their job better.
