The New Padres del Fuego is now on Test

here are a few pics, they even did the back beach and added a gypsy so you can get tonics there now

Thanks you Crazypirate ! That's awesome !

Im not digging it... its almost TOO big, and too inconvenient and confusing to navigate around... hmm...

Please, can't we just get more clothes spots, and maybe a notor cap raise??????
It would have been BETTER had they just added these as NEW islands, and not re-made ones. Then, we could have all been happy about the new locales, yet had the old ones still as we liked them. Oh well.

Some more screenies
 

View from the end of one of the docks.


A closer shipwright to the dock, weapon/ammo shops.


The Ratskellar closer to the dock now.


Other shipwright over yonder down the narrow path past the Ratskellar.


Whole lotta nothing across from that shipwright.


View of the volcano from a slightly submerged dock across from shipwright.


Pretty lava from a bridge on one of the ways to town.


Other side of the bridge.


Entrance to the Lava Gorge/Catacombs.


Poor Valentina. They put her out in the middle of nowhere... and her flowers won't grow in this heat. lol


Entrance to Beckett's Quarry.


Another entrance to town. Shops are all squished together.


Fort Dundee. Some textures missing still but it's a bit more impressive. There's a narrow path that leads to it with a guard. At least they put the jail outside of the fort.



More of the Fort


Exit from El Sud to the back beach. Lots of baddies here.






The "beach" has a bunch of crabs...


Some skellies guarding a couple of shops.

It's huge, I'll give it that. No sign of Darkhart or ol Timmy (yet). Haven't found a way to swim to the beach yet (if we can).

Big thanks to Pirate Bood for letting me TP to her past El Sud for pics.

edit: Back Beach pics

Thanks for all the fantastic pics gang! Looks really cool!


:buds:

I have an idea for the back beach. They should put a boat somewhere in the main island, and pay 10 or more coins to get to the back beach quicker, also if you want it to be free, you have to do a hard quest to make the boat ride free. That's my idea. I will send it to them ( Pirates Online By E-mail )

*sigh*

Yay, more pointless updates. It seems like they are doing a "change for the sake of change" type thing. I'm annoyed, I like PDF the way it was. Substance, Disney, SUBSTANCE.

There's some substance in this update. Notice the lines of division in the notoriety and skill reputation bars (see Travis' 1st screenie)? They're divided up at the bottom, skill screen, etc.

That's something, right?

Overall, the new Padres del Fuego has a certain ambience that's different from the current one. The lava can be seen almost everywhere. The trees by the lava flows are burnt, broken, and brittle with little plant growth near them. There's a broken pier and a small shipwreck in the bay in front of the ship wright. The town is tucked tightly together away at the base of the volcano with other houses on the outskirts but they're half burnt and dilapidated. Fort Dundee on a corner of the island standing more grand than it was before, overlooking the town to keep the folk in line. The back beach area on the other side of the volcano is distant from the regular town and teeming with the undead. I actually do see substance, just not the kind everyone else is looking for.

I agree wit ya Jas. I like padres. It's small, they're only stretching stuff out, making it harder. Then, back beach.

Aye, that's SOMETHING I suppose. But... ehh...

Anyway, your above post says no Tim or Darkhart - and if they are gone... I'll be furious.

This is the site map for PDF back beach. You can reach it by exiting El Suderon like before or you can swim to it but the swim requires a wall glitch, they put up an invisible wall out to sea so if you attempt to swim around the island you can't. All you do is hit the invisible wall. But if you can find a wall glitch, and there are so many its sad(some require nothing more then walking into the rocks) you can swim through the island...

This is the actual location of the Padres back beach on the larger PDF map. If you continue your swim towards the red dots you end up in the lava pond seen in the above pic. The entrance to El Suderon can be seen as the white rectangle.

Two notable changes are the addition of an NPC on the Padres Back Beach to purchase tonics and the move of the PDF jail to a more scenic sea side location.
Notably absent are the 2 Bosses that used to populate the back beach area. I searched the entire area and they are absent. If anyone has the lvl 20 Doll quest open please tell us all where they went to or if its just a pop up now only when the quest is open?

Just a a funny aside, if you logged out from PDF last night when you log in today you will start on Tormenta beach. It only happens the first time but its odd when you finally figure out where you are.

Can't wait til me test pirate gets tp to PDF! Finally got used to the new Tortuga...lol But I will miss the island swim if that no longer exists....And General Darkhart is AWOL? We were becoming such great friends! Guess I can sail there, but without a warship...idk

The texture issues are rampant, but sure made for some pretty cacti

I found one Boss on the back beach

From what I saw when I sailed there this morning with my regular Sloop, the huge EITC armada was not there. It was the regular navy and ghost ships that hung out there before the ETIC moved in.

Regarding Darkhart and Timothy, D may not have found their places yet or are keeping them offline until the new PDF is tested out in regards to the layout... Hey, stop laughing.

Maybe Darkhart took a vacation. After all the thousands of times he has been stabbed, shot, & naded...can't say I would blame him...lol
