New Updates on Live
 

I logged in this morning and there was a download, but no notification of what it was. Excited, I TPed to Port Royal to see if Ezekiel Rott was there. NOPE.

So, I retrain my cutlass skills (AGAIN) and head into the Lava Gorge to try the new setting out on some skellies.

NEW CAVES ARE LOADED ON LIVE.

ALSO, the new SAILING has been brought onto live.

Finally, notoriety changes have taken effect--looks like there might be some bugs though... Ben Dreadgull is showing as a level 55!

Me? Still a level 40....

CRUD! They beat my estimate for the release by 2 days!

Nice info, Bart.

Yup. Release Notes are up though on the game site. Thread posted here.

According to the release notes (and the notifications we saw on Test), he's not going to be around until the 4th.

Beat me by one day /facepalm
Level 55?!?!? Lol ok that is funny

Here's funny--insode the catacombs is this little level 9 Sergeant.

And he's doing the Scary Mary dance!

Level 9 in the Catacombs...no wonder he is doing the Scarey Dance...:laughks2:

Wait, ya mean Kat can sail again?!!!!!!! *insert choir of angels singing Hallelujah! I have not set foot on a ship other than to see a friend glow since the day I mastered sail. It was the next day that the cap went up on live. :mybadki6: I've been only grinding since then, and now have on tap, Gunner for the Pearl Quest, and get this 5 weapons quests, 2 for a level 15 weapon and 2 for level 20 weapons. Time to go get busy!!!!!

I'd guess they wanted to get it out before the extended weekend when a lot of people may go away to camp sites or waterpark hotels or where ever they may go.

I was guessing by this Friday with Thursday at the earliest.

Lol two of my pirates still got the Double rep bonus from last year's Father day quest and haven't finished this year's same quest. I think I should play them after Muertos quests are available. Btw good luck to those who race to get to level 50. I won't participate because I know I won't be able to beat the speed glitchers. Have fun!

I'm not planning on racing to get to 50. I plan on using my double rep on the Muertos quest and then focus on leveling weapons/ranking. However, until a new quest or story chapter comes out I can't see any reason to beat myself silly trying to get to 50/30 to just sit around wondering what to do next.

Of course, I still have ALTS I can/do play too.

Aye, I agree, Boss...think I will work on getting me alt up her Notoriety & weapons....I didn't rush for Lizzy and in no hurry to get to 50 now...But that's just me....

Well congrats ben on Level 55 defying levels :D yay for new updates!

I am happy the new releases are on live now for all to enjoy, but I certainly was not counting on loosing all my player friends! : (

Players list is still gone...
Logged on to check out Menta...It was strange getting reps...nice ones too...I think I got 173 reps on a 42 Mollusk using hex & dolly. Not the best combination...but I wanted to make it outta there..lol

OK...Is it just me or is this update not ready for prime time yet?

I have had some terrible problems with rendering and textures and the like. I get on my boat and not an island in sight. I have to sail by the map...

I never had these problems on test... Maybe it's just me...

I like these new updates.. I just don't like the fact that I have to level all the way back up to the new cap... Gives me something to do, yes.. but they couldn't of picked a better time? :laughks2:

Player Friend's list is back!!!!

49700 rep to get level 44, I think I find that a little high
Does disney wanna orverwork me?

I think it's just you. I haven't heard of anyone else having this problem.

Any ideas on what Peter Chipbutler is doing on the otherside of the broken bridge in Thieve's Den? Interesting since it's on the splash screen also.

With all the glitching you are doing.. what does it matter? :laughks2:

Is it just me or the water in Tormenta's Cave is very very very blue ?!
Saddly we didn't make any little "waves" in the water like in Misty Mire for example... :(

You're right... I had a fan go out in my computer and it was warm enough to get twitchy... so... never mind.

That happned to me as well. I was on my ship. After docking, I went to a friends ship and it was still glitched. He was shooting at ships I could not see, so I just fired in the direction of the invisible ships. I saw no rep or anything, but my rep did go up on the rep bar. I had to log out and back in to fix it.

Kat:psmiley27:

Its interesting if a pirate was on a different server yesterday their pirate card would show a lvl other than 40 but when you were on the same server it would show 40 so somehow it was counting the rep somewhere just not giving us real credit for it?

The pirate cards are glitched.

Apparrently, Disney DID keep some track of the rep earned AFTER a pirate hit level 40. I know I watched the progress circle go around a few times one of mine.

Now, if you are on the same server, and you click someones card, it will say 40, (or whatever) but if you are on a different server and pull up their card, it will say what they WOULD BE if all their post 40 rep were to count. If you pull up your own card, it will always be accurate. I also think this has something to do with the WHY behind the fact that DxD hasn't worked since the update first hit Test.

I BELIEVE that Disney intended fro everyone to start at 40. I don't believe that they are going to give credit for work done after hitting 40. I have been reporting the "above 40" pirate cards as I find them.

I also have been sending in reports about the ability to continue levelling Notoriety from already mastered weapons. I don't belive that this is intentional. We couldn't do it as we approached 40, why would they make it happen above that point.

Okay... silly question.

Two days ago, I was in Ratskellar and Pauper Pedro was in front of the bar. Now, he's behind it again. Was that a one time thing?

We've seen that a lot EC. I think he goes out to wipe the tables off every once in awhile. That place is party central, and he can't keep a good wench staff to do it for him.

Last night, Z and I saw Pedro running around behind the bar. He'd go to the middle of the bar, stop, and run to the other end, back and forth. Seriously. He moves!

Pedro does move! The first time he walked toward me i totally freaked, LOL.

Was not as freaky as L40 something Urchinfist who followed my every move, turning and watching and keeping rather close, after i accidently nicked him with my blade and disengaged (was on my L32 pirate).

Now that was really creapy.

SAILING: Now, I hadn't noticed this on test, but they have something right going there. My Light Sloop does 10 kts, but my War Sloop does 12 kts. That is generally correct. A little fast, but correct that the larger ship with more sail (assuming similar hull design) should actually travel faster.

What surprised me was what happens when you get hit! If you take a hit form ANYTHING (even if it does little or no damage) your speed drops drastically! My War Sloop will go from 14 kts (with a Full Sail) to 5 kts when one little bitty light sloop bounces a pebble off the deck!

Weird days....

SUGGESTION: Slow the ships WAY down! They are ripping around like jet-skis out there! It doesn't matter what the number (speed in kts) reads--that's just an arbitrary number compared to the actual speed in game. Just slow the boats down.

Also, I can see speed being slowed by sail damage or hull damage, but dropping to less than half your speed when you get just a scratch? Not making sense here. So, DROP SPEED BASED ON AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. The more damage to the hull and sails (sails would cause more speed reduction) the slower ye go, not just an absolute drop to 5 kts because you got bumped by a light sloop.
