Where'd you hear that? From what I hear there is no gold cap now.

Thank you! I try to do my best to keep up with the updates and to see what the basics can use and do.

Can someone clarify the whole body issue please. From what I understand is that the current body types will be changed on All pirates , not just the newly created. I don't want my pirates to change from buff to fluff.

Well, we just did a Fleet battle, but I didn't get a Loot Skull Chest. Maybe it is only to one ship in the whole fleet, but if that's the case, I'd have to say it isn't very fair.

If this is wrong, tell me how I would get a Loot Skull Chest from the Treasure Fleet.

These bodies are really more realistics, I like it ! Thanks for the screens.

The diference is that the upper body went from looking buff and the lower body looking normal, to the buff in the upper body going down to the thighs.

Guess the developers want to tell us that pirates were a little bit on the chunky side?

Yes. From hero to zero in one 45 second update. Thanks Disney. I wrote them to complain and got some lame letter back ignoring my complaint and commenting on something completely irrelevant instead.

It's just gonna be like the linked accounts... people complain, everything remains the same (as in, the same after the update occurred).

Yep, although I saw no use in the linked accounts anyways. Never used them, and it was just something people could use to cheat Disney out of some money.

***Sven Osymthe*** · #27 04-03-2010, 11:10 PM

Well it wasn't really cheating them out of money.. granted 4 people could play, but the account was still giving money to Disney - it gave families more for there money pretty much.

The main problem with it was people getting out of bans, but I get what you're saying.

Owoooo! An EITC fleet is on now. Hope I get a skul chest.

EDIT: I received two royal chests from the EITC fleet but that's it. So either, A)This treasure fleet is not the EITC fleet or, B) We get no loot skull chests from the eitc fleet.

CarribeanThunder · #29 04-03-2010, 11:33 PM

I'm starting to doubt this whole "always drops one Loot Skull Chest" thing. You want to know what I got from the THIRD Fleet I joined in after the update? It wasn't a Loot Skull Chest, Treasure Chest, or even a measly ROYAL CHEST.
I got 6 straight Cargo Crates. The first time I've EVER gotten 6 items from sinking a ship. "Always gives at least one Loot Skull Chest?" I don't think so...
I still think that it's given to just one ship out of all the sailors that battled against the Fleet.

I'd have to agree. Either A, B, or:

C) It's given to only one person/ship.

Also, don't you mean "This EITC Fleet is not the Treasure Fleet?"

***Sven Osymthe*** · #30 04-03-2010, 11:37 PM

I would send a report, it is more than likely a problem, as even they wouldn't be that biased as to giving out rewards.

edit: I received a response to an email I sent, and although the first paragraph, and majority of the second has nothing to do with my email, this is what I got in regards to the new body types:

Quote:

We apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced while playing on the Test Server. The purpose of the Test environment is to ensure that any bugs or issues are appropriately taken care of so that we can introduce the exciting, new features into the Live game environment. Sometimes unforeseen events force a release that may take progress away from your Pirate.

However, we assure you that these new body types are only going to effect newly created pirates. Currently there is no big difference between these avatars and the ones available on the live servers. If you do not believe me you are welcome to load both versions of the game side by side to see for your self. We apologize if your original body type pirate has be changed to the new body style on Test. We understand that this may be very frustrating, but again assure you that these changes will not effect pirates already created on the Live Servers when the new system is introduced to all our guests.
