I said this on the other thread but, they also made fighting more dramatic, and sailing dramatic as well. There's now clouds or fog when you sail. At least for me lol

Edit: Also I'm assuming all the ships that use lightning, now show that they use lightning. They have lightning hitting their sails. I'll post a screenshot when I go sailing again.

Also noticed that when jolly roger enemy is killed a cool effect happens when you kill it.

Actually, it's the Special Effects option that is turned on high for these. I usually turn mine down to Medium since the cloudy poof effect for the giant crabs is insanely excessive.

Just an FYI.

The lightning on the ships, has been there since day one (Feb 2008)

The fog/cloud has been there for sometime now as well, perhaps not as long.

The jolly roger thing from a defeated enemy has been there as long as I can remember as well.

All the effects being represented in these screens have been there for sometime now and were not implemented by the update. What is likely is that newer updates did something to change the graphics settings it sees being used.

The updates were apparently to resolve some bugs, but it would appear they may have created a couple more they hadnt planned on. May very well be as simple as a messed up client patch that can be easily resolved. Lets hope.
