  • Added the ability to zoom in on your avatar with the middle mouse wheel if you are not moving or in combat.

Here is the list of emotes you can use with the / command: crazy, glare, help, thirsty, tired, dance, sigh, scared, 9000, sweep, bounce, blink, sleep, wave, laugh, ready, curious, bark, fear, chuckle, frown, shrug, jig, growl, sad, congrats, angry, roar, lol, kidding, arrr, hiss, no, smile, sorry, bored, clap, kneel, happy, flex, rofl, cackle, congratulate, nod, hello, drink, grats, confused, wait, wink, moo, hail, jk, yes, gasp, coin, flee, eat, celebrate, salute, vittles, giggle, search, bye, yawn, meow, cower, cry, hungry, greet, bow, impatient, tap, cheer, primp, goodbye, sry, grin, agree, amazed

• Added a button on the Crew panel that lets you put a "Looking for Crew" message above your head. Click on the "Crew Options" button in your Crew panel to activate this feature.

• Moved the Game Options button to the main screen, next to your sea chest - it is now available in both Make-A-Pirate and the tutorial
• Fixed bug that was not allowing players to teleport or chat to guild/crew members who they couldn't see
• Fixed bug allowing players to teleport to servers that are full from the Pick-a-Pirate screen
• Added clearer messaging to explain why a teleport may have failed (i.e. other player's ship sunk, etc.)
• Added a check to see if your CPU is running at max frequency. If not, you will get a pop-up after the client has been running for 2 minutes.
• Doubled the chances of getting a cheat card dropped when defeating NPCs

Known Issues - February 7 2008

• All shops currently have all possible clothing items (100's of pages) - we will be narrowing this down
• Jewelry does not appear on other Pirates if you are on low graphic settings
• Jeweler in Padres Del Fuego is in a t-pose
• There is a gap in the left knee-high boot for females (when viewing them on another Pirate)
• All items have generic names in your "shopping cart" when buying or selling them
• New shops do not have names yet

Some nice updates :)

I havent got to lvl 40 yet so for me these are great updates especially being able to finally tp to guild members, I csan understand people complaining but hey slow down a bit and enjoy the view !

NOW HURRY UP DISNEY!! get the update on live!!!

Yay, can't wait till its live.

Same here! I want to go crazy while on my ship when I win a battle. My cousin doesn't know how at all to do these,(he has no test account) so i'll scare him too!

look here for a preview: http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/f...3059#post23059 :)

They go on forever, and the dance emot is just plain down weird.

To me he looks like Woody from Toy Story on my pirate when he does dance!

EDIT:Ah, 1st bug!

Jump, do an emot! Then youe pirate is stuck in that motion!

Yes, THE WHOLE TIME YOUR ON TOO, ! I'm stuck on clap emotion
Ah!

EDIT2: went to buy jewelry, it's fixed. Im doing dance emot now!

Cannot talk to guild members anymore, also show guild members doesn't work now.

Ya, I saw that too

Ah, the beauty of being a beta tester! :)

Great updates. They will be on live tomorrow or tonight most likely.

And by the way, you're no longer Beta testing Xiaolin.. just playing the Test Server. Not Beta, for Beta means before the game is released officially.

Beta testers are the only people allowed to roam the test server.. ;) So technically, that means if I can access it, I am a beta tester.

Gramatically it is really to be said "I was a beta tester, thus now I can access the test server". But I dont feel like arguing the point, it gets nowhere.
BUT I CANT WAIT FOR THE UPDATES ON OPEN!!!! Except for the Low Graphics seeing Jewelry bug:((( I have to run on Low Graphics because of the Vista Crash Bug.

Wow, can't wait for this to come out on open!

Notice how they don't even mention the boss battle? ;)

Why is everyone always asking about the Boss Battle? They said it would be out in March and the second half of the gamae in Summer. It was something they said on a TV Ad.. unless it was on their site. Maybe both, I can't remember.

Where are the shops located?

As said in the first post, Tortuga, Port Royal, and Padres Del Fuego.

I'd like to know the exact location. :)

In the shops

Just go find them yourself Xiaolin. All those places are small anywho, you can view if it is a shop by the sign it has. If it has no sign dont go into it.

The jig creeps me out.. LOL.

uhh
 

anyone know when it will go on the live servers?

yes this means it should make its way to open servers within a week

What if you accidentally uninstalled your test thing and want it back? I didn't know it would be used for testing!! I saw it became live and thought I wouldn't need two POTCO launchers....lol

As long as you did not delete your Test Pirate you are fine. Just downlooad the test server launch again, it is posted somewhere on here by Batleth. Just search for it or something. Good luck mate! And POST PICS!

The first one is me clapping and the 2nd is me celebrating :)

gee its taking forever to load!!

LOL, the smile emote is funny. :pirate.capta:

i really cant wait for it to go on open can anyone post pics of the clothes shop inventory and the tattoo and the jewler thx ;)

My sig is the Flex Emot, only for boys and there is more looks than that one.

heh thats interesting

Don't count on it. I know I keep comparing TT test to POTCO test, but it's the same people. Usually stuff comes out at the least 11/2 weeks to 2 weeks, with larger updates taking anwhere from 2 weeks to a month. Also, we won't know the day they're coming, I'm surprised we got the month. ^^

Ya, it is very odd. But the Dance is HILARIOUS

- cries eye out - can anyone post pics of the emotes

FINALLY!!! I'm glad I have a test account :).

~Cpt.Sea

LOL, there's alot. But, the Flex Emot is my signature. lol

If they are still going by the rules of beta times, we aren't suppose to post any test pictures, since there might be problems with it, and it might not be in the official live game.

I'm not sure though lol.
~Capt.Sea

Don't know about them, they may be a bit more stricter than they are with TT, but we're allowed to post TT test pics. I think I'd check in with em on that in live chat or somethin.

i cant wait!

you are not the only one mate.:vembarassed: *sigh* not the only one

im still asking nicely can someone post pics of the inventory of all new shops O_o

i don't think that testers are allowed to, i pm'd PiratesAhoy about pictures and he said that the weren't allowed to show them.

oh really O_o darn

This is one of those hurry up n wait things. Loved the vid!! cant wait fo rthem to come live!

Tattoos...
 

Can anyone tell me about the tatttoos.. How many choices? Where can you place them? How much they cost? And is there a dragon tat??

Well, since it's not pictures... I suppose I could say where you can get tats on your body.


So far you can get face, arms, and chest. ( chest is only boys,:vlaugh:)





To all the people asking for pictures, testers are NOT allowed to post pictures of ANYTHING that is being tested, because they might not come out on live, and they don't wont people getting mad cause they saw pictures of it, but it's not coming out.

theres many tats for ya.
place them on ya chest, either of ya arms or your face.

How much would they cost??
 

Can you give an average cost of the new items in the shops? Like the highest and lowest in each shop, Tattoos, Clothing, Haircuts, and anything else I missed. I really would like to know about the face tattoos.:vgrin:

with the new stuff, are you able to change the apperance of ur pirate? no offence, but my jacket and hat really need to go and my clothes....they a bit grimey!!

Yes, you can, but as far as has been seen, there's nothing "new" except for a "Barbossa" hat and the ability to color your boots.

mid month and still not on the servers yet!!!

Maybe february was the TEST release date. :vembarassed:

You guys gotta give the testers time. Anything Disney puts on a test server takes a week and a half at the least, and with something new on both of thier test servers it will take a bit longer. ^^
