I was on test for about 20 minutes and loved what little I saw. I finally get to pull my first pirate out of the old pirates home!

On a side note, I can't get onto test, live or the pirates online web site right now...Am I the only one?

EDIT: the only POTCO thing I can do right now is Cannons of the Deep...

Well with all these new detailed mini-maps I think that when you are on the islands and you press "M" it should open that and not the world map. But have a little button asking if you want to switch to world map to TP.

Also wow the caves look AMAZING! Now see thats what a cave should look like. (Not perfectly cut out O_o and they all look the same) From what I have seen the caves are different and unique in their own way now!

PS Lava Gorge has Spanish undead now?

Wow, those cave graphics look phenomenal! Can someone tell me if the NPC 'green circle people' are still in Thieves Den? I do love being able to do some work there without having to rely on tonics... =)

I believe Mac users are having issues connecting to their servers.

All in all, love this update. Every single part of it including the compass. I may be the only one there but D will change it again for the sixth time I'm sure. Shouldn't really be a big deal. People will get used to it. Right now it makes sense with the caves. The compass stays stationary (with North at the top) so it's perfectly aligned with the F8 maps. A lot easier to follow the map if the compass isn't spinning around, losing your bearings. I'm not having any issues with it at the moment.

They've also seemed to have gotten rid of the 100 rep limit per weapon as well. I was using dagger exclusively on General Bloodless and received 168 rep after 45% crew bonus. Not really sure if there's no limit now or if it's just a higher limit.

After exploring some of the caves, I have to say, they aren't babying us any more. There are so many ups, downs, narrow spaces, and forks in the road that make you scratch your head. I think even after a year with these new caves I'll be using the maps.

This is going to make playing the game even more challenging as we have to run through the caves defeating the right enemies, getting the right barrels, etc...

I just hope they don't release these until after the second story quest/Kraken. I would love to have things thrown at us at once, especially since there are probably going to be a lot of bugs.

Also, what I don't get is... why did they redo the islands, and now the caves, AFTER the game launched? Do they have some problems figuring out what they want in the game? Because almost half of all the land in the game has been redone. Why didn't they just wait another year before releasing the game to add this all in. I'm sure it would have made the game more interesting to begin with.

Also... notice that there are NO new islands, caves, or forest areas. Please tell me they aren't just going to release the second with no new area, because that's going to make the game very repetitive.

Yup thats defiantly a down side. MAYBE disney will do something about that because I think i have anywhere close to a couple thousand rep after level 40.
