Release Notes - November 18, 2008

• Added various holiday events
• Enemies are no longer appearing tiny
• Voodoo meter added to enemies' health display when engaged in battle with a Voodoo Doll using foe
• The Break Attunement effect caused by Dagger Asp and Throw Dirt now prevents enemy NPCs from casting voodoo hexes for 15 seconds
• Draining an enemy NPC's voodoo power to 0 with Hex Eater will now prevent it from casting spells for 10 seconds
• Various bug fixes for crashes and other show issues

Wish they'd make the hex eater work for 20 seconds. If breaking attunement works for 15 seconds they should make hex shot work for longer.

Hmmm not sure how the two are actually related. Since both are referring to effects on the NPCs and not on us.. the pirates/players.

But I would like it longer also.. hehe used to never be able to cast again before.. I guess its more realistic now.

[AdmiralSavvy]

I agree with Anndreeuhh. Like it was said 100 times before, why take Hex Eater away and go to all these complications? It'll just cause more unnecessary lag. So far, I rate this minor update a 5/10, at least some bugs and glitches are fixed.
One small step at a time Disney.....

[anndreeuhh]

Or how about depending on how many skill points you have in hex shot = the amount of time the NPC is disabled. Its just a pain now.

[Bartholomew Foulsteel]

There's still no reason to use Hex Eater. Just use Asp and Throw dirt--works longer. Plus Throw dirt is free....

[anndreeuhh]

Before Disney went and ruined hex shot, a lot of us used to use it to level pistol. It was how I mastered it the first time around. Now I'm stuck at level 20 on my second pirate. It was just easier to use hex shot on molusks and gypsies.

Hex-shot still has a use for levelin Pistol. It still vies as one of the best shots in PvP. A good update, should it be packed with little bugs.

If Hex-eater was used for its use, you can use the Dagger instead.

apparently this game is being run by a bunch of pyros, lol

[anndreeuhh]

True but I'm still peeved they fiddled with it anyway lol

Used HEX for the first time since the newest update.
I know it doesn't do what it used to, but I think it does do what was originally intended. The timing is still wrong. Breaking attunement with dagger skills still lasts longer than removing all voodoo with hex does.

After 3 hex, the gypsy had no voodoo left, but by the time I ran up close, changed weapons, and got in postition to attack with cutlass, he was already recovered enough to start casting spells.

If I used throw dirt to break attunement, I had time to change to cutlass and go throught the entire sequence of cutlass strokes before he was able to reattune.

NOTE: I used Throw dirt to break attunement, once attunement was back, I couldn't break attunement again with either throw dirt or asp. Then I tried breaking attunement with asp, and when attunement was reestablished, I WAS able to break it again with throw dirt. Can anyone explain?

Its just what happens now. I had that problem with my second character. Apparently Disney decided to not let you break attunement so frequently when you're fighting these guys. I think its on a timer type of thing, where once you break attunement, it takes a little bit of time to break it again. I don't think it has anything to do with asp or throw dirt.

[Deadpool]

Is it just my graphics or something because I haven't seen any torches.

[Crazypirate]

What are the various holiday events? just floating torches?
