Test Release Notes - March 30, 2010

[CarribeanThunder]

Here's a tip for you guys - DO NOT GO TO CUBA WHATSOEVER!!!

I was trying to get to killing Swamp Gators in the swamp on Tortuga, but I couldn't get there because of the Booting Barrier. So I decided to try and go to Cuba. I expected a boot at some point on the island, but guess what?
The boot happens when GOING to the island.

I'm now still on Cuba, and because of that, I CAN NOT GO ON MY LV40 PIRATE. So, I have to make a new pirate in order to play. The bad part is that I cannot go get myself a Voodoo Doll/Staff, or complete some other tasks that require you to go to Cuba.

I warn you again - do not, I repeat, DO NOT go to Cuba.

This happened to me a long time ago. Simply reinstall the launcher. I have no problems teleporting to Cuba (or any island for that matter).

To be honest, I have no launcher for Test. It was my Desktop that had it - but she went down like a sinking ship. I never thought I would need my Laptop, so I never downloaded it there. I don't even know how to get the Launcher for Test, but if/when I do, I'll try your suggestion.

Thanks.

Edit: About 3 seconds after posting this, I remember that I could uninstall from the site . Yes, I'm very smart...

[Sven Osymthe]

No problem. Here is the launcher download if you still need it.

For PC:

( This is not my day ) Links aren't working for me. However, I appreciate the help. I have trouble finding the Test Launcher, but not the Live Launcher ( I already have it, anyway ).

P.S. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Test Server did not help. I still end up crashing ( I should have never gone to Cuba - not like I would have known, anyway ). The one choice I have left is to wait until Disney fixes up the boot spots and actions ( Like drawing specific weapons and going to certain areas - or that might just be me only, although I'm sure others are having this problem ).

Could it be that the URL is auto-censored by this forum? Cuz the link from Disney works fine. Try getting the URL through PM i suppose.

[Sven Osymthe]

Oops.. part of the link seems to be missing. Good luck making your problem work, only suggestion I have left is reporting it to Disney.

I couldn't notice any other bug then not being able to use tonics since this.

When my tonic recharges and I hit "T", it says ( in red, of course ) "Tonic not finished recharging", and it stay like that forever. Some guild mates told me that I need to wait a few more seconds and then I could use it. So I did, still didn't work. Now, after an hour trying, I give up, I'm just reporting it as a bug.

Thats it, you have to download the game. That would explain why you guys can't do anything, and I'm living well. Everything is great if you download the game, but you can't do anything with the browser. BTW LPS, I also have a few problems with tonics, but it is minor compared to the problems we had last weekend. There were also a few occasions where when I put things in my inventory manually that they wouldn't go in, so I just started using Take it All. Got over 60000 gold in about 6 hours yesterday thanks to the sell feature.

So all this madness is caused by me playing Test from the browser? Well, like I said, if only I still had the Desktop.
Sven, might as well PM me the Links.

As for the add-ons, I also noticed them by accident. It's funny what happens when you're not paying attention to the background

Well if CT hadn't played on the browser, or anybody else, would bug reports be sent regarding the issues that player are experiencing with the web launcher? Probably not.

"Everything is great if you download the game" - yes, and then when this update on test goes to live, a bigger fraction of the players will experience problems on the web launcher because nobody tested it out?

CT if you still need the link I can PM you.

That would do nicely - I'm ITCHING to use the Old Musket that I have collecting dust ( Plus I can't so less receive "training" for the Pistol ( Yeah, a pirate needs training to use a pistol - AND A CUTLASS??? ) because going to Devil's Anvil also causes me to crash. The browser needs some serious fixing ). Thanks in advance.

Logged onto test last night-first time since it was taken down. Many of the issues have been resolved although you will probably have quests that you need to re-do. Still are some issues, but just remember to "Report". It is test & if you let Disney know, they will work on the issues-probably in order of number of reports received & importance to the game. idk for sure, but that's my guess...

[hmanngr8]

This may be off topic, but its about the test server. My tester spies say that the weapons mught be out by the end of the month And another thing, if you try to test on the test website, and your not a tester, it wont let you get very far without deliberatly crashing you

[William ORoberts]

Just so I know, when this finally goes live, ONE of you will not be too busy playing it to post something here, right?
