testers whats good in the updates?

[Pirate Guy]

I was wondering if the new things are really fun or over hyped can u tell me whats the scoop

[Sven Osymthe]

Try looking around at the release notes. As for being fun, yes, it's fun for a little while.

Is it over hyped? Look around in the other threads here, it is clearly beyond, over hyped.

I personally like fishing. It levels up fast, yet it manages to stay entertaining the entire time. Plus, the Legenday fish boss fights are really cool too

I haven't tried to new dagggers and knives, but I know a lot of people LOVE to use the heck out of them.

Of course, while these updates are nice, I don't think it's that painful to wait for. If it gets added soon, yay. If not... meh.

[Tiberius Fireskull]

They are really fun updates. Fishing is really fun, and it should be more fun for me when it comes live because I will have more gold on live. As for the new daggers, my test pirate hasnt finished the quest, so I'm not one to ask about that. However the new throwing knives excite me. All of it seems fun, but I feel that it isnt worth the wait.

Everything they have added is pretty good, here is a brief list of what has been added.

• Fishing
• New Daggers
• Throwing Knives
• New Ships (Removed but still under development)
• Veteran Rank for Guilds

Fishing can wait for me since I know how to do it. What I'm actually REALLY anxious for are the new Ships.

[Machazzard]

And although it isn't "content", they also added Potions and Fishing levels to the weapon card, which is pretty cool. I like to see those big mastered pirates who have been slacking on their potion brewing duties haha

The new daggers are cool, and VERY powerful. Some of the skills, like Backstab, really make me feel like an assassin.

The throwing knives are great and give A LOT of rep if you use them right. Since they do less damage than daggers, you can strike more times (depending on your skill point placement of course) and I continually get the maximum rep capacity without wasting an asp, adder, sidewinder, or viper's nest.

fishing is very fun! I am so anxious to see whats on the new island....watch it be lame and all my anxiousness was for nothing >.>

I have to be honest. All the arguing. all the anticipation and all the excitement over fishing? Not worth the wait.

It is simply an amusing pass-time that adds nothing to the story or the lore of POTCO. Sorry. It's just my opinion so take it for what it's worth...

[Kat Five Knives]

I think the short cut to the back side of Padres ( Las Pulgas ) has been removed. I could not get through the wall on test.

[Davy Darkrage]

I am still able to get through it by jumping through the right-window.

Not yet, anyways. *hint hint*

I guess only people that read the quest text will realize that fishing will actually be a part of lore and storyline.

[Sven Osymthe]

Fishing may be important in the future, but that's then, this is now. Most people that are impatient, they're impatient because they want to play the fishing mini-game (which I find funny, because some were complaining about them wasting time on potions and so on), as well as find new daggers. Those two things alone are nothing to be impatient about. Once the island and story are on Test, and they've been there a while, that's reason to be impatient.

[Captain Jason]

The new daggers are sweet, and fishing is cool because you can collect fish and try to get really big ones. Plus the throwing knives do more damage then the daggers and are faster.

Read it. Don't care. Fishing gets boring and If I have to fish to play? Then I am going gray.

Edit: OK...maybe not gray. But having some NPC tell me, "Go get 6 Tuna" adds no more to the game than getting what's his name his 25th chunk of crab meat.

The Quest looks fun. Can't wait. But I don't believe that fishing is an essential part of the experience...It feels forced.
