Yikes...SvS takes a turn for the worse

[mlratto]

I haven't done much SvS in awhile and have left that quest to gather dust...hoping some of the SvS glitches would have cleared up by now.

So i set out this weekend to work on the quest and the first thing i notice is that all the boats, spanish and french, show up as blue on the compass. This made it nearly impossible to keep track of enemy ships on the compass. Add to the fact that the few active SvS servers tend to have a lot of ships on them and your compass becomes almost useless. Big Problem!

To make matters worse there appears to be a no repair bug as well. After taking damage you go to make a repair, stand over the repair spot and no green circle. Tried porting and re-launching...same thing. I then crewed up on another boat only to find that the captain couldn't repair either but a couple crew members could. So it appears to be a bug with individual pirates. Logging out and back on several times got my repair functionality back.

anyone else have see this happening?

Oh...and i also witnessed the triple lightning shooting and the occasional invincible ship.

Edit: last night i also noticed that when the compass wasn't showing all ships as blue...it wasn't showing any of them at all!!!
