I am nearly completed getting my voodoo staff.

GUESS WHAT?

I need to "kill an enemy creature on Kingshead island."

Guess what..... where is an enemy creature on Kingshead? NO-WHERE!!!!

Talk about incompetant quest writing.

And all this after I got that shrunken head???!!!!!!!!

GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You really thought they would be done with staff at this point?

It's all cool if you wanna level up like crazy, but you also have to realize this game is in it's infancy and a lot of higher level content will either be bugged, or not working at all. I'd suggest sending in a bug report and hope someone gets it.

I'm trying to think of any MMO that has ever had completed high level content when it released... Hmm... nope none!

what about cutthroat, its got those wierd tree things?

The quest is to beat an enemy on all 13 islands. The other 12 islands complete, its just Kingshead which is bugged like many quests prior during Beta. I used navy soldiers on Padres and Port Royal so it doesn't have to be a *creature*. Problem is, its just not registering to complete for Kingshead. Very similar to prior bugs.

Also, level 30+ and the voodoo staff might currently be high end play, but not for long. I expect to see many running around within a few weeks. A bit quicker than Beta II as the main quest wasn't as buggy.

There were the makings of a cavern system under Kingshead Island in beta. On the back side of the island, there used to be a dock. Of course, once you 'glitched' onto the dock and tried to enter the cave, the game would port you back under the island in the water. Only recourse was to swim to the front where it would place you back on the dock.

I searched the entire Kingshead fortress looking for a way down into the caverns but found nothing. So until they get that cavern worked out, you will just have to wait.

As with ToonTown Online, they continue to add content and fix bugs throughout released versions. Be patient.

Toodles,

Well for 99% of the MMO's out there this is just par for the course. They almost all have lag at first, they almost all have tons of unfinished high end content.

And I agree with Rob this won't be high-end content for long, but that's because this game is super easy to level up at. Not that I really want another level grinding machine like a lot of MMO's out there.

Ahh well hopefully they fix the staff soon

Slow down man. The game isn't complete, take your time.

Vangelis · #10 11-16-2007, 09:45 AM

The game seems pretty complete to me, when they are fixing things we still can't get....

"Fixed a bug with the Voodoo Staff Desolation Skill...."

Yeah, what good is that?

Today they updated the game again, and ignored all my bug reports, and it's still not fixed. Ahhhhh what be the point

Rob · #11 11-16-2007, 11:27 PM

My voodoo staff quest completed today, so it appeared they fixed it. Blew up a group of vets on Kingshead with a grenade and it completed. The first skill, Soul Flay does seem to be bugged though as you cannot add skill points to it.

Vangelis · #12 11-16-2007, 11:50 PM

Ye be lucky matey, congrats to you my friend on overcoming the madness of the Caribbean!

Madness? lol

Still not working for me... I will try once per day, then quit if this ain't fixed within the month.

Are you on test or open? I completed it on open. My test pirate, which is level 32, is still bugged and it still does not even have the voodoo staff quest. I assume that is because the quest wasn't added until after I reached level 30 during beta.

If you are on open, I do not know what to tell ya mate. Maybe it was dumb luck that it completed for me.

WizardHawk · #14 11-19-2007, 01:25 AM

I had no problem getting the staff. None at all.

The 'creature' on kings head is ANY enemy, meaing just kill a guard or eitc and its done. I did the same on port royal just quickly killing a cadet and that's that.

I'm level 10 staff and it ROCKS the house.

Heres an idea.
Maybe they have more than just you sending bug reports in.

And nice to know that the staff is reachable
