James, that's usually a sign that you're out of hard drive space and that you need to delete some stuff. Having no hard drive space can cause a world of troubles for more than just POTCO. You might look at running Windows' Disk Cleaner (Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleaner) or remove some old programs that you don't use anymore. The last time I ran Disk Cleaner, I was able to remove almost 500mb of temporary internet files that aren't entirely necessary.

They should be working on fixing bugs right now, not invasions.

I've crashed at sea for the first time today in over four months.

They need to fix the boxy ships when you see ships far away. The need to fix how fast masts shakes and how fast they fall down. They need to have tearing sails again so sailing is more realistic.

Until those are fixed, working on other things is a waste.

They also need to fix the new clothes bug that happens when you go basic.My original shirt is missing and it won't let any replacement stay on once I go basic again.

Yesterday, there was a Padres Invasion, Tortuga Invasion, and another Padres Invasion, all in a row (the Tortuga invasion got a bug or something, it never happened, like on the times with the Port Royak invasions,got a warning, but it never happened)

Tortuga invasions will be happening, and to answer the first two questions in more detail, Roger is after the Padres Wall.

But one thing that appears strange to me, is that the Padres Wall, is just a barricade, and yet, he wants to destroy it, and why would he want that?

They are in a rush to get new updates out? Then were is that new story chapter they promised would be released a year ago? And other updates they promised such a long time ago, and still don't have them? Why did they change the islands? they say they changed it to give us less lag, but to be honest, it gives way more lag now, it looks like they aren't trying. They have no idea what time and slowdown means. Oh, and I would have had 2 unlimited accounts if disney were a bit more careful about what they do with accounts... they don't care about anything, it's obvious they are just lazy, they aren't in a hurry, they just don't care that's all. I think it's time for them to get orginised and really start working, or they will soon lose alot of subscribers, I already know of a few ppl that know about these problems, lets just hope Disney improve.

So the Padres invasion did come with this update itself. Smart of them. The reason he would be after the Padres wall is probably because it is the only central area of the island, which he wants to conquer or rather spell in fear into the minds of pirates and townsfolk. The reason they are in a rush to get it out is obviously not because they're lazy as you claim, they want to release the next big update which would be one which they promised to us all along. And definitely there was a huge need to change the isles and caves. The old islands ( though i miss them a bit ) now seem so horrible to think of compared to the current state of them, which is fun to explore and also has less lag unlike what you say, and caves are completely much bigger and beautifully designed than the previous ones we had. They are doing well as the new ratings of POTCO by reviewers say ( getting 100% thrice ), but they only are a bit slow in releasing updates, and have quite a few bugs and glitches, and also some silly additions such as going through players. I have to say there is nothing wrong with the new ship designs as some say, and mostly their time frame is what affects the slowness in updates. They are working hard for a January release and much more after that.

The target on PDF is to destroy the town itself - The wall is the attack point to destroy the town.

Many times they have done back to back invasions on test. They will run it several times - look at the feedback and do some fixes. That's what the test side is for.

Glad they are up and running, I will have to try and catch some of them.

Ahoy -

Update - Time for load screens is much better on test now.

Sorry Commadore I don't have any screenshots - see if I can get some next time I am on for one.

It's obvious the current storyline does not contain Davy Jones or the Kraken so for those of you on countdown watch get over it. There will be no Kraken by the end of the year, its not part of the storyline. They have obviously gone in a different direction. Feel free to start your Disney lied, failed, whatever threads now.

Cheers to Captain Del, JaketheSnake and Roger Dreadrage - good luck mates

Plunder on! - I love playing POTCO.

Well, seeing as how Jack escaped Tortuga during the Tortuga Invasions, he might of fled to Padres? Or maybe Roger is trying to get complete control over Padres? I'm not sure, but I'm sure once they release them to open, Disney will explain it through lore.
