Test Release Notes - December 8, 2008

• Added Winter Holiday decorations
• Added New Year's holiday event
• Resolved the majority of the issues regarding stranded ships
• Fixed a bug where players could sometimes not take the wheel of their ship
• Fixed a bug where players were occasionally dying repeatedly in jail
• Fixed a bug where some skills displayed the wrong values on mouseover
• Fixed some issues with NPC and ship movement
• Chat text should now be hidden when F12 is pressed
• Fixed a frequent client crash on logout related to special effects
• We now prevent Lookout access while in the Black Pearl boss battle

It's about time they decided it was time to fix the F12 chat.....made it difficult for screenshots.

Great info!! thanks. Finally!! a fix to the client crash while using special effects...I crashed like 15 times in one hour.

They're getting better as far as fixing bugs as fast ast hey can.
Some good bug fixes. I wonder what the holiday decorations are.

Decorations and such we don't see on test until you guys do. Thanksgiving was the same way, we didn't see bonfire until it came out live.

I am really a bit lost at the assumptions I was thinking, were not some of the things dealt with. Such as desolation fixed before they started going forth with the curse much.

Appears cannon triple shot has been fixed though.

Did see a couple new things last night that could be issues, but playing back and forth with graphics, could of been also a isolated circumstance.

Anytime changes are made in a some of these things, never know what it may also effect. Latest thing was this ship stuck issue, what fix or alteration caused that from previously not doing it?

Though we have these above notes, I have found many times changes and such not mentioned in notes what soever. This makes checking some things more difficult when you are guessing many times, or not picking up on the change.

All and all, what exactly is fixed can many times be up in the air, even based off what is in notes.

Such as mouse over effects. Triple cannon fixed, desolation not. Pork on staff, don't know.

Very cool...glad to see they are giving another attempt at bug fixes that should've been fixed along time ago...

Can anyone confirm if the flying glitch still works? I was only just reunited with my long-lost friend, I'm not ready to lose it again. :(

Ill check as soon as i get to test

Any one know if the F12 thing stops the pvp glitch with "Flip coin" or other emotes???:psmiley35:

I went on test to see if there were holiday decorations but there were none that I could see.

The only thing I see new(if it is new) is that you can pay someone in the bars to change the music they play.
Only five songs right now.

Posion elf must have it right.

Mac the being able to change the music in the bar has been live for a few months now
i do it all the time in port royal when i am board and it only cost 10 gold

I'll be glad to see this one gone. I know others like this glitch but I feel guilty when my crew mates are using it. And NO I don't !!!! You hit me with shrapnel in SvS and I'll die just like the rest of you and I have to make frequent ammo runs too.

Nice job Disney, you noticed two of the most annoying glitches right now.
Hopefully there will be more glitches soon to be found and fixed...

Aye, very nice Disney!

Finally im very glad they got rid of the chat issue.
