Very frustrated, bugs or the way disney intended?

[Cameo Wildblue]

This is my first game I've played in the beta stage, and I'm grateful to be a part of it and do report any and all bugs I've noticed in game.

There are a couple of things I wonder if they are bugs and I wonder if I need to keep reporting them. I wonder if this is just the way the game is.

First thing is your port of call. What is your port of call? I am a newbie level 7 pirate and I notice my port of call changes to whatever island I happen to be standing on.

What is driving me absolutely batty is sailing looong distances to another island barely surviving the long scary commute, docking my boat, paying for the damage to my boat then getting booted from the game only to log back in and be allll the way back at the island I started on and having to do it all over again!! Grrr!! I have been trying get and stay on Driftwood Island to collect all my myraids of wasps, and I will barely make it there, kill one wasp, get booted (I understand things are a bit unstable and I'll get booted, no biggie) and log back on and I'm on the wrong island, far far away! Is this the way Disney intended? If so I'm SO not a fan!

Second is the chat. Am I doing it wrong? I know you need to click the arrow and type in the chat box, but is there a way to chat openly without clicking the arrow and putting your curser in the box? Sometimes I need to say something fast (like, "hey! Help! I'm dying! Can I get some help over here!?!") and it's too much a hassle to find my mouse and click the box and then type. I'm not THAT coordinated. Bleh. Bad chat set-up. If that's the way Disney intended, I'm very disappointed. You'd think they'd program the game to utilize the caps-lock on as the movement and menu prompts and the caps-lock off as open chat.

Third is swimming. There is a hint that says if a crab is in the water to get in the water and shoot at it to bring it up to land. When I am in the water all I can see is a bit of my head sticking out as I'm swimming and nothing else. Can the rest of you actually see underwater?

Fourth is the difficulty. Perhaps I've been too babied by toontown, but this game seems WAY too hard for the level I'm at. The tasks I need to do are to take down some hefty navymen and I'm just a lowly level 7. I also need all these animal parts but I've noticed I usually get more than one monster chasing and attacking back at me so I end up losing or running away almost every time. Does Disney really need four level 13 crabs counter attacking a level 7 pirate? Sheeeesh. Kinda scary, and very frustrating trying to do my tasks. I seem to see more of the jail then anywhere else...

I'm really not trying to complain. I'm having fun with the game and I do enjoy playing it. I am wondering how much of this is bugs and how much is the way the game is.

Thanks for your imput!
