[Chris]

awesome hopefully with all these bug fixes it will come to open servers soon

[Ironhawk]

Nope. The grenade bug is still there after this latest update.
Hope they fix it soon.

[Maximvs]

With all the last bugs from the Weapons Update - I would rather see the new features stay in Test until they have everything fixed and sorted out

[AdmiralSavvy]

Yeah, Disney doesn't have to rush the process, it's better to perfect everything before releasing it to the open servers, to avoid an angry pirate raid in the server room LOL

[Angel]

They get bombarded with people wanting ti hurry up for the open servers, yet they hit and people have play issues, and people complain that way. I think its nice to not put a tentative date on it and work out all the issues at once.

As has happened before, I didn't have some of these issues until after they supposedly fixed them!

I was tracking a "Kill 10 Stumps" quest from Johnny McVane and the "ray of light" illuminated practically every NPC I passed by (including dear Orinda on the Tortuga docks).

Furthermore, I then sailed to Cutthroat and discovered that anything I killed was giving me credit as a "Stump": Giant Crab = Stump, Undead Gypsy = Stump, Spanish Captaine = Stump, etc., etc. I ended up completing the quest without ever having killed a single bloody Stump!

'Twould be nice if those of us who completed the quest over a week ago got the notoriety reward, but I guess that's expecting too much.
