Test Release Notes - April 7, 2010

[Sven Osymthe]

Couldn't agree more Lizzy. The updates are coming along great, and a lot has been fixed. That still doesn't change the fact that there are a lot more things that need to be addressed. I do want it to come soon, but I would prefer the update to be as close to "perfect" as it can be. Even if that means a few more weeks of it on Test.. anything to stop the bugs from going to Live.

Has happened before & ppl complained that things were't tested enough!

People complain if it's tested too much, or not enough

I'm very hopeful the updates will be out this weekend! I mean they have been on test for over 20 days, majority of the major bugs have been fixed - or are about to be -, and they closed the thread for discussion on the official POTCO site. Really, I think this is ready for the live server. Everybody has been so desperately wating, so I think it would be a great addition. Also, a lot of younger kids and stuff have probably gotten a lot of game cards for easter and stuff, and disney will want them to spend them $$$ ASAP! Many people at abassa said Friday, and one person even claimed to know a game master and said he is 90% sure it's coming to live in a couple days. Let us hope, let us up. - crosses fingers - XD

I would love to see this live as well, but I agree with Sven. It needs more testing. Two weeks is not enough time to test a game changing update. There are still major bugs, as well as minor ones, that need to be fixed before the multitude of pirates on live get their hands on it. I will happily wait for a clean update. I haven't been on since yesterday's update but before that I would report an average of ten to fifteen different bugs in a three hour period (not all of which were fixed in the release notes). Granted, a lot of these are graphics or animation problems but a lot of them were big issues. Please, be patient. These updates will come in due time and perhaps the developers and programmers are also learning some things through this process that may help future updates go a little more smoothly.

I disagree. I can immagine that for the past two weeks hundreds of testers have been playing for hours each finding bugs. Disney has already done two or three updates to the test servier since the new features were added. Not to mention that some up the updates were very major and fixed many of the well-known bugs. As long as the crashes and huge bugs are fixed, it's ready for live. I'd rather have the updates on live now, because it's not like they can't fix bugs on the live server too you guys know? Every time a major, or as you say "game changing" update hits the live server, there will be bugs no matter how much testing is done. As long as major bugs are fixed, and there won't be any game re setting, like on the test, the update is ready to hit the live servers. Enough said.

I would rather wait one more month than to have the update bugged and messed up this weekend. So keep on testing!

Be aware that skils such as endurance are now by percentage and not by 25 hp. So instead of getting 5 health from sailing, you will get 6 when you have endurance maxed.

All the updates sound good in sense, but why change the Body Shapes in the first place? What person would even suggested the change?
