So What Does Evryone Think of the New Update?
 
Personally i like it the weapon quests are kind of fun althought i think the weapons should do a bit more than yet another +2 dmg to hit. The Voodoo staff looks awesome and the way the powers have adjusted colour to suit the staff adds a sense of uniqueness.

It doesnt seem like they have really adjusted the Tonic regen time at all, and the tonics are so weak now i just don't bother with them.

The way the crew feature has been done i like, its like a matchmaking system and the oppurtunity for guild battles is now open.

Whats your opinion?

Just being able to carry more ammo for the pistol and the grenades/cannons made it totally worth the wait. Now i can level up on the grenades a lot faster now since I dont have keep running off to get more.

I'll like the ammo part. I'm not going to do the weapon quests until I master the weapons (less damage = easier leveling). I can do the good doll quest, but I'll wait for the rest of the weapons.

- i like the carring more ammo part

- quests i find boring again i feel like im doing someones dirty work than actually part of the quest

- Tonics i dont like sure they recharge faster but they heal ALOT less and cost the same

- crew is definatly helpful

I like much of the new stuff :) Guild is having a few issues with the new Boat Boarding - but I think this is because of how we have used crew up to this point and we need to adjust some...

I HATE the new Gun Bug!!!! :Pirate9: Terrible!!! Total Jamming is NOT cool when fighting Gyps or Molusks!!!!

So ends day one.... LOL

Liddabit 05-01-2008 01:03 AM

I've had the gun bug, also now whenever I use tonics I can't use any of my weapons :/

350 Lightning Bolts = Many jugs to be defeated. Cannon mastering time!

Is that what's causing the weapons to lock up? I wasn't really paying attention fully to when/how it happened to me. I know I used a tonic and was able to keep playing then suddenly mid-battle all weapons locked up.

ah i was wondering if that was just me but apprently not, the thing is u cant even switch to other weapons.

Liddabit 05-01-2008 02:00 AM

When I get that bug escape works then I can draw other weapons , but if you draw the gun again you still can't fire and have to hit escape.

Leo Dampskull 05-01-2008 02:01 AM

LOVE IT ALL OF IT!!! Got the new dagger and I like that too..

Nope not just you :) - and the non-ability to switch weapond can be done with the ESC Key if desperate...

Angel 05-01-2008 05:08 AM

Ive tried to switch weapons or even use weapons after accidentally hittin T. Had to relog to even do anything.

AdmiralSavvy 05-01-2008 05:19 AM

I really like the ammo pouches and the new weapons. The cannon pouches help with leveling it up because I don't have to reload every 15 mins. :) The quests add a little something to do while waiting for the next story chapter to make it's debut in June. Plus, I would like some better looking weapons, especially a new sword and staff. :pirate6: The tonics are messed up though, they are a lot weaker than before, (must come with the groggy decrease) I can't use my pistol at times though.... No more stowaways stealin my helm, nothing wrong with that. :) Overall I like the update despite all the annoying bugs that come with it. Hopefully Disney will fix them soon, but I highly doubt soon.

How do you get 350? Most it lets me purchase is 175?

Now if i could only launch my WG to use any of it... it would be an improvement.

Oh, and the change on the tonics, they seem somewhat useless to me now the strongest of which heals only 1/4th of my health.

Ammo pouchs, new quests, all neat stuff, but other issues bringin me down...

I hate gun jamming. You can't level up with this kind of stuff.

hiii_98 05-01-2008 07:39 PM

so can guilds pvp each other now? If so, how. In the past if we were all in a crew we would all fight each other and maybe some other random players. I've always wanted to pvp another guild. without breaking up my team.

Soul Patch The Fiesty 05-01-2008 07:47 PM

It's not available yet, it said (direct quote)

Treacherous sea battles lie ahead. Winners and losers are sure to be. Whose side will you be on? Check out the new concept art as you contemplate your options.


Concept art (visualizations of the ideas they have) is there to be viewed, basically so you can imagine (contemplate) and get exicted about ship to ship pvp. I doubt there will be an 'easy' set up for guild vs guild with this release. It will most likely be 'crew vs crew' friendly. So it will take some organization for you to make it guild vs guild, but not impossible. Probably will be limited to one ship though.

Angel 05-01-2008 07:55 PM

Oh I agree. Guild PvP would be nice. I got a few that need to be......PvPd :D

Mattress 05-02-2008 11:48 AM

Looks like their getting the bugs out, the tonics are back to good health but the highest is still only 1500 health which doesnt heal me fully, and ive tried that stacking thing with the puches and cannon barrels and it doesn't work.

Eustace the Monk 05-02-2008 01:38 PM

I absolutely detest the new ship AI. They need to seriously adjust this. Now you can just sail in circles, firing your broadsides, and never get hit by theirs. :( I understand trying to make the game easier for lower players, but any ship, L15 and over, should have some clue on sailing. Let the newer players farm Driftwood and Anvil, save Padres Bay for the rest of us at least.

Loot Hard!

Maximvs 05-03-2008 02:28 AM

Just an update - I was sick yesterday and never did get the chance to swap the vid card before todays v11.2 update came out...

Good thing I guess! :) every problem I had is now gone :D I can sail, TP, and all my weapons are working again.... I can finally now actually comment on the new stuff.

I haven't done much - but it would be nice if the Guild list could TP to the ship. I keep a very short friends list and REALLY dont want to put all the guild on it... we are still trying to get used to Crewing, but I think we are getting better...

Yea, something's up with there boats... one second I can't hit them, the next one's a sitting duck LOL I'll have to play more to see about these...

The pouches... *cha-ching!!!* they are on my thumbs up list! The tonics? BOOO thumbs down!! The Grog? Eh... I was ok with it before - I'd ratehr have the tonics back...

Since I've just begun the quests, I'm actually not having a hard time getting stuff from the ships - but then again, I'm not getting drops from EVERY one of them... so its good for now :)

With that - thank goodness for the v2 patch!!! I'm just glad to have sailing and weapons back :)

Chernabog 05-03-2008 04:07 AM

What do I think?

I think the update sucks since I have not been able to play since it was put into effect! Apparently there is a bug preventing some Mac users from playing. No help or acknowledgment of the problem from the Pirate staff so I wonder if I will ever be able to play again. :smiley-technik015:

Twisted 05-03-2008 07:32 AM

I would say I like the pouches, but I dont have the gold to afford them!! LOL I just bought a war frigate 5 mins before they added all this to the game and haven't sailed much since then. And now that I am suspended it will be awhile til I can get them lol. I kinda like the quests, but like someone said, its doing dirty work for someone else.

Bilgepump 05-04-2008 02:06 AM

On the whole, I like it. The only problem I've had is the weapon-locking glitch. Of course, it happened when I was soloing a ship, and so couldn't leave. Had to just sit there and watch this grunt 20 levels lower than me kill me...

HaveAMagicalDay 05-04-2008 02:19 AM

I think the new updates were good, except for the part of having you do the same idea quests, killing the animals over and over, and sinking the ships over and over... They couldn't have mixed it up a little bit more? Yes, we played poker and blackjack once I think.
