The cave is weird, it doesn't have aminimap either, it gets confusing. They also lied about "new" enemies as far as I can tell, no new enemies. Another big thing is taking out the /coin emote. What will the Abassains do?

One thing they failed to mention in this update was that graphics were downgraded once more. Textures look less realistic on high. If you have past screenshots of tortuga, compare them with what you see now and you'll see a small, but noticeable change.

An example would be the "mountains" around tortuga have less framerate, and look more boxy, and when you get farther away from a building, it will literally look like a paper building. There will be little to no detail other than a flat color surface with some lines on it.

I believe they did this to enhance the details on cloths. Compensation, maybe? Anyways, I'm happy with this update other than the textures looking less realistic than they did two months ago. But hey, eventually they're going to go so low people will have enough of it and demand better graphics. No everone owns a windows 98.

Yea, that cave is a total waste. Its puny and has 10 firebats and four or so ghosts... kind of a useless add. Its cool though.

The Royal Commodore from EE looks good for Jason. I was always going for the regal captian thing, anyway...

Wow... right when I was getting a little faith, they disappoint again.

Lame. ONE set of clothes, across ALL merchants??? I was expecting a selection - thats how they made it sound. What a complete and total LET DOWN.

And, why remove the coin flip?? Way to lose Disney, now I remember why I quit playing before. It was my standard AFK animation. NOTE TO D - IF PEOPLE USE SOMETHING, AND IT WORKS, DONT REMOVE IT.

Back to not renewing monthly - this update isnt worth $10 a month.

I actually think that they will each get a new set of clothes every month or so, or every update. Also, I think they will add different clothes to test as time goes on... if not, then your right, this update may be a waste.

Maybe the cave will forshadow something or be a place for a boss battle? I doubt it, but it had some secrets that I'm yet to figure out, and it was evry mysterious. ^They definitely will add another set every month, because there used to be a January out and it says to the left of the screen something like "November 2010" Plus they said they would have rotating selections.

I was hoping for an ongoing shop with unique selections - perhaps 'shuffling' from time to time re: availability. Maybe a rare item here or there, first come first serve, like a real store. (Could be run like the drops - so many available, get it while you can)

But this, one outfit per month???? Lame as heck. Oooh, first day of the month, buy the outfit. Merchant now unnecessary for the rest of the month. Wow.. epic fail.

Cmon Disney - have them have an assortment!!! Shuffle items! Bright colors! Black clothes!

the cave looks the any other cave... small, long, rocky...
It's fairly small, I've only found 2 passageways so far, one with ghosts (the exact same ones you see in the mines) and the other end with fire bats.

I think the new caves are to make a place for people who haven't done the quest yet. :P Seems useless if they just winged it...
