Hey, sour faces... That's enough of groaning. You all whine and moan about content, you get some and get bored in a day of it. You can't program and build new stuff in a day.

There's already been new stuff on Test, which means they are trying to perfect the next update.

And after all this time, I'm starting to understand and enjoy the RP stuff more myself. You don't want to mess with it, then don't. Less folks on the servers during those events will cut down on the lag.

I'm not saying i hate the new content and i get bored when it comes out. im simply saying the clock is ticking and pretty much all eyes are on disney when they decide to release it. Let me ask you this, If you had the same hat or the same ship for a year or two years wouldnt you be kind of tired of it and want a new ship? If so then you are almost on the same page as me. All in all, I love disney's "new content" i just would like things to move a little more quickly, and yes i do understand how long it takes to make/build/design things for the Game.

I've kept the same type of shirts on toontown since 2003 and I'm not bored.

However, it's taking them TOO long to come out with a second story quest. The longest it took toontown to release a cog HQ was two years, and that was bossbot HQ. I can understand that, because they were working on other things that would help affect gameplay.

POTCO may be doing the same right now, but I think we're all upset that they rushed to be out before POTBS.(burning sea online) They DIDN'T need to do that, but their logic was, "Oh, more money!" If they would have waited a year, we'd probably see the things we see now, and it would be more fun, but it's not because they rushed.

These redone islands, caves, etc... should have been here from the start, not a year and a half later. Toontown has redone nothing, and it's kept the game clean. I guess it's because they don't have to compete against another game as far as theme goes.

All I'm saying is, if POTCO doesn't release something gianormous within the next four months, they've shown us what they can do. And that's not much...

Aye, i completely Agree with you Mac and that is pretty much my point for the past year, its basically been delete all the old stuff and bring redone stuff in there i don't see that as "new content" that "we" (the players) wanted now correct me if im wrong here but its just been get a broom and clean up for the past year with Disney nothing has come that we actually want besides seeing JR in game. like i said earlier the clock is ticking and all eyes are on Disney for making us something "cool" and worth playing for. Raising the caps and raising the weapons i see are fun yes, but what do you do when you get to level 50 wait another two years for them to release another level cap raise or what?

I would hate to have seen invasions take place on the old Port Royal and Tortuga. It seems pretty obvious that they redid Port Royal, Tortuga and Del Fuego so that they could limit sight distances and turn off stuff you couldn't see like buildings, crates, and other things on the other sides of walls. You can see this easy by climbing up the repair shop steps in Port Royal, or by glitching through walls in a lot of places where half the world disappears. With the performance boost that those changes got us we now get cool stuff like the invasions. Yes, the invasions are crazy laggy and can sometimes chug, but that's because of all the people and undead there... imagine if the town itself was also adding to that lagg!!
The recent test notes seem to have a lot of changes with ships and sailing so I wonder if we're going to see more happening on the ocean soon?

Oh, and I can't wait for the cave raids, this looks like fun! I wonder if they're going to have skeleton GMs leading the undead?
