I think it means a way you can cheat in it or make it easier.

Probably just a bug.
I had to type all this up because I can't copy and paste this.
Hopefully these fixes will just be the start of a big update.

I have a test account so I can just type up the new release notes here.

Notice test in the tital.

EDIT: Opps I didn't put test i'm sorry. If any mods wouldn't mind could they put test in the tital?

Haha probably they fixed that Mountain wall glitch for the boss battle. Now those chickens who can only win when they grab the wheel to glitch (EVEN when the owner of the battle says they DON'T want to glitch) will just mope & cry coz they can't win any other way...

I'm glad they fixed it, its always some idiot who's like "I'm going to report you if you don't let go of the wheel because I know how to glitch to win the easy way!!!" probably because of situations like that, the glitch came to Disney's attention.

Plus, the Black Pearl holds up to 18 cargo spaces, why in the world would anyone want to glitch to win at all coz you only sink 1 ship if you glitch, unless they are a chicken themselves & can't win the rightful way to save their life, which is very sad to begin with. Everytime some idiot grabbed the wheel to glitch, Goliath drops ONE crate...wow how pathetic, never a royal. And it has never been spices in that crate in the times I got stuck in a crew with a chicken.

To the above poster.

It would never be possible for someone to get suspended because they didn't want to glitch.
The person who reports you will also have their log files get sent from what I understand and if they said i'll report you for staying on teh wheel then they will most likely get suspended.

I didn't know taht was in the boss battle but hopefully the bug your talking about gets fixed.

Well my account has never been suspended, so YAY...hopefully their accounts were...geez an example of how silly people could be: they would stand there & yell at me instead of grabbing a cannon to shoot & then complain that I'm doing it wrong even when I win in the green zone at the end with like 20ish% damage...grrr.

More tweaking :S

[Edward Edgemenace]

Wow, a fairly innocuous wall glitch in the boss battle is called an "exploit" but the Kingshead invulnerability glitch is just a low priority glitch? Repair glitches in SvS are low priority? Popular flagship glitch is low priority?

<me slaps self a dozen times> WAIT THEY ARE FIXING THEM NOW? THREE CHEERS FOR THE PROGRAMMERS! HIP HIP HOORAY!!!!!

[icemage]

Are they??? Yay the boss battle one is gone. Now for the rest...

[Tobias Blastpigge]

I'm glad the Boss Battle glitch is gone but its too late fer me

I 'won' the BB when the person at the helm did the exploit - I didn't realize what was happening and before I knew it we were facing Goliath and it was sunk in seconds. I was hugely disappointed in winning this way.

The other glitches are just so-so; the flagship glitch is boring. Kingshead glitch is boring. If you want to play that way fine - you'll just leave the game all that much sooner since you don't have a challenge.

Now I can find a boss battle crew and win it properly and not have to worry about a dumb exploit.

I tend not to do the Boss Battle with more than a few people anyway. Glad this glitch is gone though, thanks to the fact, it really caused nothing but trouble.
