Test Release Notes - March 16, 2012

Plunder those materials, Pirates - Levels 5 and 6 ship upgrades are now available!
Brand new ship names have been added to the Ship Naming list, as submitted by you Pirates through the Grog Blog.
Jolly Roger's forces should now invade normally again - normal for the undead, that is. Invasions now begin and end properly, with more balanced waves of enemies.
Cave environments have been made stable once again.
The two unnamed coats available for male Pirates through the Tailors on Tortuga, Cuba, and Padres de Fuego are now displaying with their proper names.
When Pirates are caught cheating at cards, the full penalty is now clearly messaged.
Fixed a bug where ships get stuck due to Pirates teleporting to a ship while it is sinking or docking at port.
Fixed a bug where teleporting to another Pirate in King's Run on Port Royal caused environment issues after leaving that area.
Fixed a crash during the Cannon Defense Mini-Game.
Fixed various crashes during PVP, while battling enemy ships, and during the Black Pearl Quest.
Fixed various AI crashes.

Known Issues - March 16, 2012

Skeletons may sometimes fall through the terrain during Invasions.

VERY glad with their fixes they added an update - shows they are putting more effort into it. Thank you Disney!!

"Cave environments have been made stable once again."

yes. yes. yes!

Ooh! New upgrade levels? This sounds interesting! I wonder if they'll eventually add harder enemy ships to balance sailing difficulty a little more after the new upgrade levels come out? Going around in a Copperhead level 3 War Frigate with a full crew seems a little too easy... ;)

LOL just when many thought they fully upgraded their war class ship, here comes two more levels!

Awesome.

Glad to see more updates! I'm going to need a lot more materials to get all three of my ships back to being fully customized when this update hits live!

Just got back from Test and I am quite please to report that the Jolly Invasion was a complete success! It worked. Only a few test pirates were around. Up to six waves happened and Jolly did take damage. How I managed to survive his thunderbolts must be Saint Patrick's doing. lol That and the grenades worked. All stink pot. XD

Only his crew got me once. hehe

After looking around at some different things on Test Server, I made an interesting discovery. The ghost form from The Lost Sword of El Patron is significantly lighter. Below is screenshot evidence of the change. The left is on Test Server and the right is on Live.

Interesting. Looks better. Is that the only difference you saw? What about the skills that goes with that weapon, same or slightly different?
