Sarah is right. On the test there were still a lot of glitches because of the massive update. I guess they didn't have the patience to fix them all which ,of course, is annoying. When an update goes open you would expect everything to be fixed. I guess they wanted to get it out before October 31st.
Now for the annoying glitches.... The most annoying of which (to me) is the ability of enemies to hit you you from far off. If you board a flagship and some enemy is off the ship you are out of luck. They can kill you from off the ship, even with a sword! This happens most of the time on skeleton flagships.
I am sad I can no longer level grenades with the kingshead fence.

I guess I'll have to back up now while being chased by the soldiers (which I am fine with.
As for the updates themselves..... I love them! The reasigning of skill points the most! The new ship features which lets you decide who to let on your boat (just you, crew, guild, or public). The bosses are pretty cool even though they are huge and very hard to kill (especially the assasins). The new weapons are ok.
I guess I can't make up my mind on whether or not I like the update. The new features are cool, but are canceled out by the glitches. Hmmmm........not sure.
