[Poison elf]

No to first so answered nothing.

Skill point allocations.
Yes, any character without skipped combos put points in passives for dagger, cutlass. Removed some poor choices. Maxed out siege bomb, and eliminated all other grenades. Removed hex shot, added to passives. Repaired some sailing, cannon errors. Removed 5th point from Barrage, Spirit Mastery, Blade Instinct on character that had it and could do so.

Quests
Everyone likes quests, as long as something Worth while is achieved. Weapons was no achievement for most players. There are many possibilities, but something a bit more unique would give specially high level players something to work at. Like a rare clothing drop, or Jewery. Achieving your own pet, such as a Parrot, or my favorite, a undead monkey to shoot at opponents ships to grief their sails.

Most of all something going forward, for I as many feel only things going in reverse, and a dead end for level 40.
A real battle, as seen on commercials, pirates fighting a onslaught of Navy at Tortuga.
Every quest able to be done solo, no challenge.
Last, make everyone happy and increase level cap, grand opportunity to do a quest for enlightenment or something.
Special perk/item dealing with bosses.
Make useful all the treasures we have, sitting in a bag worthless.

Parrot name.
Months ago we had this as a officer question on our guild site. The answer best for a Parrot is to name it after the guild master. So whenever you yell at em, and they get mad,,,You just say I was talking to the parrot.

Here is what I put, even tried to be almost positive. Yet to have any of my posts taken on this blog though, specially ones before this last release, haha.
