Release Notes - November 23, 2011

Updates:

• Fixed several disconnection and client crashes
• Fixed teleport bugs during the Tutorial
• Fixed the incorrect display of cargo amounts
• Fixed the Brig ship graphics so the ocean below is no longer visible through the deck
• Fixed issue where Pirates would fall into the water after exiting Governor's Gardens to outer areas of Port Royal
• Pirates are once again notified when another Pirate teleports directly to them
• The advanced Copperhead and Stormchaser ship upgrades have been pulled back into dry dock for more fine tuning
• Added more new sail emblems

Known Issues:

• One Pirate taking over the ship's captain wheel from another Pirate may cause graphics to disappear

I looked at the emblems and do not see any new emblems.

New Sail colors, I think...

Still no Fast Switch exploit fix or PvP glitch or general balancing fixes.

Ugh, this is very depressing to read without them fixing issues that still exists in the game today, from 3 years ago.

I think they need to fix issues with this current update on test on the moment, then focus on those issues. I'm also not finding any new sail colors or new sail emblems. I've sent in feedback about that. Hopefully Disney, will quickly add them. :bookishfj7: :piratewheelgo2:

Yeah, they like to give themselves credit for something they didn't do (or in this case, implement).

This game wouldn't last if it followed the F2P method, either.

And, okay, as long as they fix fast switch or pvp glitches before this patch hits live, then they can spend as much time as they want with fixing up ship customization.

All I ask is just this simple fix after all ship customization has been patched up real nice...

Ships first then fix for pvp before live patch... hopefully...

Like many said, no new emblems yet. But, here is the new hull upgrade...

Just how bad does it lag for you on high settings, assuming you don't have a good GPU or don't do a performance trick that pirates online has?

I'm liking the sounds of this new hull upgrade... I am deciding whether to get Storm Chaser or Skull and Bones.

Same.. wish I could switch between the two whenever I wanted to, but they are too far apart.

Fast Switch seems to be patched in this update :D

Well, don't get me wrong, but I think that they should be fixing bugs that come with the update rather than pre-existing ones. I mean, how do you think fast switch came to be? It was probably a bug with an update that they didn't fix because they were fixing the pre-existing bugs of that time. So in conclusion, I would rather have POTCO work on fixing bugs that are coming with the new material, although I still am a bit happy they are fixing this now too, I mean fixing any bug is a positive.

This exploit has made PvP unfair for too long.

3 years, it was whoever could macro the best :/.

I'm not saying that it doesn't make PvP unfair, I am just saying they should prioritize on the new glitches so they aren't forgotten. How do you think the fast switch glitch came to be?

I just wonder how longer it will take to release this whole new update. I hope it comes out before Christmas!

Same....it seems like it is one 'release notes update' a week, but I wonder what else they're working on. Part of me wishes they'd at LEAST release the materials to drop, that way we can start collecting those too to prepare.

I already know I'll be getting unlimited for christmas, so I'm excited about that.

And you'll get bored 4 days with it.

No new enemy challenges or quests.

They make these updates not last longer than 48 hours on purpose because they are lacking a good team leader (and smarts)

If you knew me, you'd know that I can make fun out of just about everything. I'll make UA worthwhile. :P

Off topic: I'm hanging out at Amberassa (test) at Darkhart if anybody wants to come.

Back on topic: I agree that they are lacking a good team leader (and smarts).

I like the Storm Chaser design.

I do agree they're lacking on smartness.

Stop being such a downer, Ice, their still be looting, SVS, sailing and all the other goodies that keep this game afloat. Lighten up, think of whats coming, ship customization will keep the best of us looting for months! :dancetl6: (they do have a certain knack of hiring dimwits tho :psmiley35:)

I'll try my best to stay positive.

It's just Disney is not what they used to be back in 2008.

True, true, but a good mood helps everyone! :)

I was actually about to say that in a reply.

2008 is gone. POTCO isn't rerurning to what it was in 2008. You need to remember all the good times from 2008 and create new ones in 2012.

Well said, Chalupa. This isn't 2008 anymore. The world has stopped screaming about 2011 world end. 08/08/08, 09/09/09, 10/10/10 and 11/11/11 have passed.

And, Never, Ever, believe Disney. They told us 'We are getting Kraken soon". And they also promised "Ship of the Line". Other Disney MMOs suffer the SAME fate. In Clubpenguin, they said "Card Jitsu Snow, 2011!". And no, No Card Jitsu Snow.

This made me sad, I have the whole suit for water and fire, I want snow now! D:
