Please note***very different...if you take the left path you run into a swamp (Misty Mire? the compass doesn't show that), and you DO NOT lose whatever weapon you were carrying...it's seamless

Hey! you see me in the last picture chat, I was testing the thought bubble.

Just inside the wooden gate you saw on the right in the last picture:

Continuing up the hill through the wooden gate:

Just up the hill from the last picture and to your left: another entrance to a swamp with swamp gators only.

Did not move, simply rotated to the right...the new entrance to the town:

Just inside the archway from last screenie; looking to my left:

Moved forward a hair and turned to my right:

Pic before last? Archway to the left? Here's the immediate result:

Just past the last pic, looking to my left. This is Tortuga Graveyard...same access...step through the portal and lose your weapon.

Turned right 45 degrees (?) from last pic...here's more Tortuga:

Okay - it's way past my beddie-bye time kids. I leave this to the rest of the testers to complete.

Oh good - I'm not the only one who has obliterated their sleep schedule with these updates...

Great screenies! Thank you for the info...have to admit me pirate on test who is still low level in her skills was apprehensive about going into the swamps...lol

ukebec · #9 02-21-2009, 01:24 AM

You're all welcome.

Robert - I was fairly useless today...lol. No Edward, you're definitely not alone. I'm grateful for the weekend so I can check it out without nodding off on the keyboard.

I didn't see anything in the open swamp areas other than swamp gators, although I didn't venture into the actual Misty Mire.

It is a half dozen swamp gators spread over a relatively LARGE area, compared to before. Just look for the rectangle on compass, to find Misty Mire.

Looks great! Not as good as PR though

Great screenies mate!

Rnmusie · #13 02-21-2009, 04:17 AM

tortuga is pretty cool is this to reduce lag or just to make all the islands better

***Sven Osymthe*** · #14 02-21-2009, 05:08 AM

Nice pictures.... I thought that pirate looked familiar xD

ukebec · #15 02-21-2009, 07:13 AM

LOL Sven. Yup, 'tis me.

I'm so directionally challenged that I'm still having trouble finding my way around PR, much less Tortuga. And to me, these new islands have areas that are almost claustrophobic. Several places where the paths are extremely narrow and I've already seen some moderate traffic jams.

And even on test folks have a tendancy to go AFK in the worst spots. I'm guessing the Pirate Relocation Service is going to be VERY busy.
