Release Notes - November 18, 2008

[The Skirata Clan]

did they add stuff? the game did an update when i logged in today?

[Harukantos]

More like stole time for people to level, it begins to annoy.

[Rackat]

I had a big update on logging in as well. But, Nothing noticeable when playing.

I have tried the following with no results:
/carve
/serve
/thanksgiving

[Aliese]

Being able to see the voodoo is probably my favorite improvement in a long while.

I'm still "feedbacking" daily on hex shot though...it really doesn't last long enough.

• Added various holiday events
• Enemies are no longer appearing tiny
• Voodoo meter added to enemies' health display when engaged in battle with a Voodoo Doll using foe
• The Break Attunement effect caused by Dagger Asp and Throw Dirt now prevents enemy NPCs from casting voodoo hexes for 15 seconds
• Draining an enemy NPC's voodoo power to 0 with Hex Eater will now prevent it from casting spells for 10 seconds
• Various bug fixes for crashes and other show issues

The voodoo meter should be pretty cool...ok..so 15 seconds to break an enemys attunnment instead of like 3 seconds, With that voodoo meter, it will be easier to know how much hex eather you need to use..instead of just wasting it

[anndreeuhh]

You're right about the hex eater thing Andrew, but Aliese is right, it does need to last a bit longer than 10 seconds. I still like my skill point idea, where depending on how many skill points you have in hex shot, that would equal the amount of time the enemy is disabled.

I like the update in that it shows us the voodoo meter now, and also let's face it hex works better now than it did before with that huge update. However when leveling my pistol now i find its 3 shots, so i have to use 1)lead 2)lead) 3)hex eater, to be able to keep their voodoo low enough to only use poke every now and then when im not fast enough at reloading (So it needs to last a LOT longer, or like other moves change depending on skill points). It's a lot of work but it's better than what we had before (nothing) lol but i wish they would have left it like it was in the first place (even though they said it was bugged, it worked well enough for me). I just wish they would have added a fix on the KH fence

The fence still works. Its just not the same part that it used to be. But it works

[Dr. Zeppers]

Honestly the only issue I see with Hex shot?

Its not the way it was before and what people had become accustomed to. Since thats been changed it gives the impression to everyone its not working right, when in reality it was not working as it was designed before and they are fine tuning it as time permits. Since it was not designed to totally disable an enemy to begin with, its closer to what it should be now. Albeit it would be an easier transition on us if they did slow it down just a tad more.

One thing I noticed, but dont know that its new. I used the scroll wheel on my mouse to change weapons, and it now shows a weapons level/rep status bar below each weapon as I scroll through.. very cool!

[Basil Dreadflint]

Used HEX for the first time since the newest update.
I know it doesn't do what it used to, but I think it does do what was originally intended. The timing is still wrong. Breaking attunement with dagger skills still lasts longer than removing all voodoo with hex does.

After 3 hex, the gypsy had no voodoo left, but by the time I ran up close, changed weapons, and got in postition to attack with cutlass, he was already recovered enough to start casting spells.

If I used throw dirt to break attunement, I had time to change to cutlass and go throught the entire sequence of cutlass strokes before he was able to reattune.

NOTE: I used Throw dirt to break attunement, once attunement was back, I couldn't break attunement again with either throw dirt or asp. Then I tried breaking attunement with asp, and when attunement was reestablished, I WAS able to break it again with throw dirt. Can anyone explain?

Its just what happens now. I had that problem with my second character. Apparently Disney decided to not let you break attunement so frequently when you're fighting these guys. I think its on a timer type of thing, where once you break attunement, it takes a little bit of time to break it again. I don't think it has anything to do with asp or throw dirt.

Thanks for saying that--was worryin bout the grenades of my lower pirates.

[anndreeuhh]

For those that wish to know about the fence PM me. I won't post it on here so they won't go and mess that up too.

Yeah that's true, at least it works more like it was originally designed to be like even if they have a timing issue with it. I haven't noticed the scroll rep bar yet but i was leveling lastnight i'm surprised i never noticed. I'll have to check that out Also, i'm dying to test out this Kingshead fence (if it's a slightly new location where they can't get through?) but maintenance at the moment so i have to wait.
