They still have to fix the potion description (such as the duration of the potion) not showing up when moving your mouse over it. That, and a glitch when putting on a piece of clothing while fishing.

Other than that, it looks like this is ready for Live soon.

Im not completely sure that the potion description thing is a glitch, and if it is they will probably fix it while they put it on live. And as long as putting clothes on while fishing doesnt crash you or effect your gameplay, it really doesn't matter if its fixed or not.

The description thing should remain the way it is currently on Live, it's nice to know what a potion does before using it.

As for fishing, when you changed clothes, it made the fishing line have a length higher than 10k. You could then throw the line way too far. It's apparently been fixed, but still.

Glad they fixed the crabs. Those buggers really creeped me out!

Hopefully this will go live thursday and we can see that "new island" by the end of this month? :/

I could see the Ravens Cove island and quest coming out before or near the end of the month. But it'd take a while to fix the amount of bugs they'll probably have, maybe a month and a half. It may sound shocking, but it took them... what, six months to fix the pearl boss battle? I had to wait about six months before it came out again, and I lost about twelve times before I finished it and got the leadership skill.

Once fishing hits open, I hope they take their time with Ravens Cove, because I don't want to go through that mess again on open.

I still get booted every time I reel in an Angler or a Mega mouth. Every time, without fail. I can catch legendaries though.

Not sure but maybe to add this to the notes the guild max has increased not sure till where but now the guild im in has like 620 approx people.

[Andrew]

Good they are fixing things, this has the potential to be released by Thursday, which would be great!


HOWEVER keep in mind that they were working on new Ships that were removed, so those are still in development. It is highly likely that those would be in development after Fishing, new Daggers and Throwing Knives are released on Live.

The point of this is???? I never understood why we have a limit on friends. Sometimes, I get random ppl who ask me to delete my own friends so they can friend me, which I politely tell them that srry I'm not deleting my friends. This would work better if we could have a higher amount of max friends then I could just go ahead & accepted their friend request & unfriend them like 1 minute later lolol.

Hmmm what guild r u in? I think that's a glitch, when u leave a guild & join another one it still retains part of ur previous guild's list. Either that or ur guild must've rly recruited 120 ppl within like 2 days.

It looks like test got another update tonight, I'm wondering what's new but the only thing that I see is that potions and fishing have been added to the skills tab next to a players card. :/
