They were a placebo!

Well now I am going to disagree with this statement and ask if anyone else with a LVL 40 has noticed thier Noto Bar lately. Mine has been slowly filling with red as if I am gaining rep although it says Pirate Master. And I've checked all my lvl 40s and they are all at differing amounts of red (1/3, 1/2, and 3/4).


As for the updates the Gun is freaking ugly. I hate it. I liked the look of the old dagger better too. But the other weapons are OK.

The lag is horrible.

I hate the fact that u cannot choose a combo variation of your choice (like skip cleave). But am otherwise happy i can fix my skill allocations in other weapons.

I hate that they made Hex Eater useless. It was a good way to lvl up. I agree with the poster that they should have just reduced it's effects so that u you had to tag them with it from time to time to keep them disabled. And i hate that I found out how useless it was after i had already redid my gun skills so then had to pay 2500 to get rid of a useless skill and put it where it's worth it like on Bane Shot.

I hate what they did to the dagger (my favorite weapon to use). We are Pirates not Assassins so what is with the backstrike? If you really think about it ALL the weapons should do more damage from behind, so why pick on just dagger? I can forgive the changes to sand even tho I use it in PVP a LOT.

I do like that you can break attunements and interrupt with certain weapon skills. It's about time u can break the attunement of those PVPers that love to doll you and run instead of stand and fight (or jump and fight, whatever your style may be).

The Fence at Kings is a sorry loss and i agree with the other posters that it should never have been changed. I'm sad to see the King's glitch gone but happy to see the empty Kings is still there.

I hate what they did that allows ppl in PVP to kill in one blow. It's not fun anymore to go in and get double or triple teamed and not have a fighting chance (not even to run to get some space). They should have fixed the PVP glitches but leave the rest alone. I only really play for the PVP and to see my friends anymore because of the lack of content (the new weapons quests could all be done in a day or two). Now they have taken that away from me.

AND I play with two computers to lvl up so I can heal with one of my mastered pirates while the lower one attacks. and I found on one computer I could have my pirates side by side, yet on the other they were like 10 feet apart. So now that explains to me why some ppl in PVP can hit from a mile away yet I can't hit them. They are in front of me hitting but from my perspective they are far away. That really bites and needs a priority fix.

Well that's my two cents for now.

My two level 40's have had that red in their Noto bar off and on for over 2 months. Well before this latest Downgrade to the game! My oldest used to be listed on DxD as a level 41, (Months ago) but no longer. Now only shows as level 40. And, that red in the Master status bar, it is there sometimes, and not there others. SO, I still don't believe that anyone level 40 is earning any rep! That staus bar is just another Disney bug!

I noticed that too as I do the same thing. I also noticed last night that on the chat system that just because you type it and it show on your screen it doesn't mean that everyone there has seen it. My other players screen didn't show at least one thing I typed. I also had one attacking me that was flying over me higher than any navy ever did. I'm surprised the other player near me even found it.

The lag is bad. It is as if there is too much for their system to process even on dead servers. Sure the better look is nice but it ruins the game play cause now the lag is bad. I've sunk a few time because the meter isn't showing what my damage really is. I had 3/4 hull left and one shot later I went down. Same apply to enemy's I'll hit them and hit them and their level doesn't go down and then it will show half their level is gone and then back up and then down again. And no there was no others in sight. The lag seems to be the worst in port royal. Buildings not appearing fast enough causing me to walk right into them.

Reallocation of skill points is both much too cheap and too easy. I can see the first one as a gimme for the low amount but they wipe your whole slate clean and allow you to redo everything. Why not just give you one point at a time and to reallocate the point you have to reearn it. But you would get to select which ones to remove.
