TEST Release Notes - June 10 2008

[Ironhawk]

• Privateering has been added:

• Join either the French or Spanish factions as a mercenary and engage rival mercenaries in epic naval battles
• Launch your ship from the new islands of Isla De La Avaricia (Spanish) or Ile D'Etable De Porc (French), and you'll automatically be put into Privateering mode
• Please note: because it is a large, more complex feature, Privateering will stay on the Test Server for at least a few weeks, at which point it will move over to the live game.Thanks for your patience!
• Some new Privateering related loading screen hints have been added
• NPCs with glowing question marks above their heads are "helper NPCs" and will give advice in the same manner as quest dialog. You can find a couple of these NPCs on the privateering islands
• Improved some quest dialog
• The quest journal should now scroll when using your mouse's wheel
• Fixed the radar. Townsfolk are green, players are blue, and enemies are red.
• Updated the dx9 texture debugging
• A fix for the ship repair panel not updating after repairing your ship
• Fixed a bug that allowed the French/Spanish NPCs to respawn on their ship if it was taking too long to defeat all NPCs
• Fixed a bug with the voodoo doll that would divide healing power among all attuned targets(including enemy NPCs) instead of only dividing it among attuned targets that are players

Well well well, blow me down if it isn't the Black Hawk captain. You proved to be a worthy opponent on the high seas, but when you see the Savage Wolf again I won't be so easy on you.
All in all pvp ship battles are awesome what a great addition to the game!!

[Nick]

Both side give quests so if we want to get those reps we should pick one then switch to the other when done with the first quest.
Visit Pierre and Avaricia to get the quests.
About ship pvp:
- during launch from base island our ship invincible for a few second to give time for us to grab helm or cannon
- we can only dock at our base island during ship pvp
- we can't dock while other ship still shooting at us
- we can repair our ship on board by pressing Shift at the green circle in front of the helm
- if we got sunk we dont go to jail and our ship automatically spawn again by the island with full health
- enemy cannonball can kill us but we dont go to jail and spawn on the ship again

The ship PvP sounds awesome...

Fixed a bug that allowed the French/Spanish NPCs to respawn on their ship if it was taking too long to defeat all NPCs

That was a bug? I thought it added difficulty to the game...Those ships should be much easier to take over now.

[Angel]

Wow, this may may just keep me in the game!!!

[Thrawn33]

[Ameila]

I cannot wait for it to go on live!!!
Sounds SO cool.. maybe I can convince Danelle to join POTCO again..
It is most likely that it will like, be the last day of June, but that is normal..

[PiratePlay]

Thank goodness they will re-fix the radar! The colors are confusing right now, glad that it's going to be back to normal!
