Sure, the new Black Pearl quests are much easier. They are faster, take less time, and are cool and have a wide variety of things to collect and kill.

Actually, I prefer the old quests. Sure you were asked to sink 20 Navy Ships and EITC Ships by the last guy you need, but, to be honest, I think THIS was easier than what we need now because it's not specific in terms of what ship to sink. For example, the new quest asks you to sink a specific Navy ship. The old one just asks you to sink Navy ships - none in general. The same thing goes for the EITC part.

Also, the Black Pearl Boss Battle, in my opinion, was MUCH more of a challenge back then. To me, this was better than what we have now. The one thing I enjoy about now's Boss Battle is the new look for the Goliath. However, it's still not as defensive as it used to be, and it doesn't take hits very well. It's easy to damage the hull for it, and apparently the defense the HULL had went into the sails.
The Huge Navy War Frigate that was the Goliath back in the old days of POTCO was much more difficuly, as you would most likely make it to the Goliath in low yellow or red, and, since the War frigate Goliath had front guns, it fired pretty well. Plus, it was the only ship at the time that had perfect aim ( Originally at the time, ships would always miss if you were to sail in a certain direction, i.e. sailing reverse in the direction of Padres Del Fuego, enemy ships would not hit you. Going forward away from Padres Del Fuego, you are almost certain to be hit ). Also at this time, it actually HAD some good defense, and it took some time to sink. The sails weren't so strong, but it's not the most important thing.

Now that I'm done ranting about the old Boss Battle, I'll end this post. Thanks for reading.
