Swash - I had noticed that the sloop was gone, but on logging out it was back.


I think the new quest help will be a big bonus for brand new players, and really, a good reminder for long-time players, if they can just work out the bugs:



Because I'm pretty sure there's some big problems on Port Royal if Smitty's jewelry shop is the closest place to find Undead Pirates (see the yellow text under the quest next to the compass...the quest is 4 undead pirates).



Here is the view from the ramparts of Fort Charles where all the Navy NPCs were invisible. Even if you attuned them with the doll the little dark swirlies at their feet disappeared. Anyway, I really don't know if this is supposed to be the moonrise, the aurora borealis or what:



I like a new feature of F7 that you can choose either to log out (go back to the dock where you choose characters) or Exit Game which shuts everything down without having to go to the character dock, and having the login/password box pop up to be closed.

The player characters are much more angular...and my pirates look like dire wasps now with that itty-bitty waist. What used to be dark red hair is now nearly I Love Lucy red.

When visiting Will Turner for daggers, his speaking animation used to look fairly realistic in that it looked like he was really speaking the text shown. Now, he looks like he's speaking in super slo-mo.
