Test Release Notes - July 16, 2009

[CaptainGreenGene]

I had the good fortune of having a mastered pirate on test that had not completed the vast majority of the Pearl Quest line. I just finished it last night and it is very different then the original. They have incorporated the new enemies and have made the to do list much more specific. Examples are "Go to Kingshead and search haystacks for 3 handfuls of hay" , "go to Tormenta and kill 20 Flotsom and 10 Spineskulls" . Most of the requests not only direct you to the items you need but where they must be recovered from. I can understand why this is taking so long to get the new content out, they decided to redo the old content first. Now that there are bosses on almost every island, there is a quest line that incorporates them. Scary Mary is less about ships and more about wasps. None of the enemies are unbeatable but they do pose more of a challenge for lower level players. This may be Disneys best effort to make completing all the quest lines more difficult for lower level players. Its now best practice to weapon train before starting the quest lines. It will make defeating higher level enemies more practical (unless you goal is to have someone with you to heal you for the entire quest line). I'm not sure this will totally prevent lvl 25 players getting to their BB at such a low level but its a start.
