Calling All Testers!



You may have heard about the sightings of strange new fish lately. It's what all the island townsfolk are buzzing about. Seems that some strange, spooky fish have been caught off the docks of Port Royal, Tortuga and Padres. Some say they are a bad omen. Others say that the odd fish are a result of the new island coming to the surface. Old Greg and the other Fish Masters need your help testing out their poles and lures to catch these critters. So try it out. But DON'T unhook these fish without assistance - we're unsure if they bite or not. Better safe than sorry, eh?

We need all Pirates with Test Access to report any issues on the following features:

* Fishing from the docks and catching all types of sea creatures
* Master Fishing, buying all upgrades and capturing the elusive Legendary Fish
* Launching your Fishing Boat and Fishing while at sea
* Teleporting to your Friends while they Fish
* New Daggers and Throwing Knives items to be collected via Loot Drops
* New Guild Features including the new Guild Rank: Veteran. A Veteran officer in the guild can only invite new Pirates to join the guild and can't delete guild members. (Permissions for Guild Officers rank remain the same.)

With your help, you have the ability to make this an epic release. We look forward to your feedback using the following bug reporting form.

Please Note: We are currently at our Test Server capacity but if you would like to be placed on a waiting list, sign up here. Please be sure to verify whether you meet the qualifications prior to signing up.

Anybody have pictures of these "fishing ships?" I'm interested in what they look like after looking at how the Ship Of The Line is a cross between the Navy Goliath and the Fleet SOTLs...

I personally love the use of the word "epic" in this article. Makes me giggle.

These fishing ships are only Sloops with fishing buckets on the sides. There are better fishes that can be caught out at sea.

Fishing ships also use permissions, so you can set it to public if you want.

It costs 1000 gold to launch it.

I wonder what happens if you get sunk? Do you have to pay another 1000g to pay the fishing master back? lol

I was told by a Guildmate of mine in Spartans Savvy said that there are more than one island coming to the Caribbean. And one of them must be Ravens Cove, Isla Cruces, and Pelegosto. Maybe when all 6 new islands come and are not shrouded in fog, we can see their names and travel them. This is what he said.

I have to agree with Crestshot. "Epic" made me smile. LOL. Looks like a very cool release, hopefully this will lead to a whole new chapter in the Caribbean.

And also...seriously, sign up for a test access wait list? Cause that would mean I'm supposed to be on said wait list, I signed up for it eons ago. But, I would wager, I'm not. =/
