    Ahoy Pirates,



    After the sync today 15th January 2015 the following bugs will be fixed:



    · Joker not working as intended

    · Error with the Cauldron of Aruba in the Polish language

    · Clash Event points too high for some players

    · Double Damage event booster didn’t deactivate until players left the sea chart

    · Error with the Marauder’s Hunt event ticker

    · Exploit with the friends list



    We will have an additional sync later today where we will permanently ban some exploiters. More information about it will be sent around shortly.

    Ahoy Pirates,

    WE are aware of the problem with the towers, and want to remind you about our T&C, all players are aware that they should NOT take advantage of any bugs in the game (ie: shooting down the towers whilst they can’t defend themselves).

    With this said, we can not guarantee that punishments will or will not be made to those abusing it. However, do not complain if there is aftermaths and your account gets punished for abusing this bug.

    Ahoy Pirates,



    We have just banned the players who exploited Ice Ammunition. Please be aware that the ban-time indicated on the server selection is currently incorrectly displayed. This will be corrected with one of the next regular planned syncs. The team are now working on writing the scripts for those players who exploited the bonus maps and the market cove items. The regular ban wave from our automated system is also being written and run shortly.

    Ahoy Pirates,


    We are planning to sync a few bug fixes now such as the bug with the Jokers in the Cauldron of Aruba and a bug where the ship designs from the Raid Maps were not always booked as intended.

    We have also made an improvement to the random damage variable due to some current inconsistencies with it. We still wanted to keep this slight damage variance in the game so that it makes encounters more interesting, whilst also greatly reducing the chance of two equally equipped ships behaving too predictably. However, it is no longer calculated as a percentage of the total Hit Chance you have but is instead added to the end of the damage calculation. The change means that your damage will increase by up to 5%.

    So to sum up, after the sync you will all cause a bit more damage than you do now!

    Ahoy, Pirates.



    With the sync today we have fixed following bugs:



    · Map jump wasn’t possible on some maps.

    · Using Skyfire Lightning led to a movement stop at certain NPCs life.

    · Impossible to buy any items via quick buy menu on sea chart.

    · Market cove: The highest bidder wasn’t displayed correctly.

    · Light of Tortuga: Some users always had the Light of Tortuga active, but the amount of it was 0



    Beside the bug fixes we have implemented new island graphics on the sea chart.



    We have also updated some of the NPC spawn rates and behaviors:


    - Spawn rate adjusted on map 12/2

    - Reduced the range of following NPCs: Kiribati, Kilimatu, Kiliwallis, Kokelau, Almirante, Trinidad, Santa Lucia, Esmeralda

    Graphical updates and improvements


    Due to a graphical update we swapped the old Lucky Dragon design with a new version of it:
    [​IMG]
    We appreciate that some of the old designs are much loved amongst the community, however some of them look extremely outdated and almost cartoon-esque which is something we want to move away from. Please be aware that we are constantly trying to improve the visual aspects of the game and further updates will occur over the coming months and years (as you have already seen with the islands, for example). Another design we have planned to update is the Kartogas design, though we don’t currently have a date when the change will happen yet as it is still in the early planning stages.

    Harpoon bug

    We are aware of the current bug with the harpoons – the team are working on this now and will hopefully have a fix for it early next week.

    Hall of Fame bug

    We are also aware that several players were incorrectly removed from the Hall of Fame. This is a bug and should also be ready to be fixed early next week.


    MHH items

    This Sunday the event items will once again be available in the Market Cove.

    King’s Legacy from Bokor’s Chalice

    Due to the late booking of the last Bokor’s Chalice end rewards, players who won the King’s Legacy at the beginning of January and February lost out on a couple of days of having the item. If you are one of these players please contact our Customer Care Team along with the post of the reward, user id and server.

    Ahoy Pirates,



    In order to end the Wrath of Calypso event with a bang, we are about to sync an increase to the spawn rates of the Odysseus and Calypso NPCs!



    In addition, we will fix a bug with the MHH items which are currently not all shown in the Market Cove. We will extend the MHH items in the Market Cove until tomorrow evening, 19:00 (LST).

    Ahoy Pirates,

    Shortly we need to create a backup of the Global Europe 1 server and will therefore have a downtime of about 30 – 60 minutes. We will give a 30 minute warning on the sea chart before the downtime.

    Ahoy Pirates,

    Today we will sync the Transmogrification System Milestone 5 into the game. We are planning to do this shortly after the Wrath of Calypso ends at 12 noon. As this is a very big update we will require some downtime which could be up to an hour or two. To find out more about Milestone 5, please check out our most recent podcast about it which gives quite a handy tutorial:



    In addition to releasing Milestone 5, we will fix some bugs which we will announce shortly after the update later today.

    Seren Team Leader Team Seafight

    Ahoy Pirates,

    The following bugs have now been fixed:

    · The Light of Tortuga will no longer automatically deactivate if you are sunk whilst having the item activated.

    · Visual error with the Seers Vision

    · Legba Amulet sometimes healed more than 50,000 Hit Points

    · Functionality of the Rhidolite Gem has been resolved

    · Island on Raid Map caused some players to get stuck

    · Winter Lights could be incorrectly activated on Bonus Maps

    · Players were incorrectly gaining the Voodoo Priest level 3 for months and not days from locked chests (this may result in some players “losing” some duration of their Voodoo Priest level 3, but the amount they have now is the correct amount)

    · Cannons sometimes stayed on the ship after a King’s or Queen’s Legacy booster expired

    · Duration of the Repair Mate level 5 was occasionally booked for the incorrect length of time

    · Several translation errors

    · Critical Hit Chance was incorrectly calculated, only taking one cannon into account, rather than the total amount of cannons which give a Critical Hit Chance bonus



    Please note that a number of players who had certain buff and subscription items for an incorrect length of time now have them for the correct duration.

    In addition, we have improved the functionality of the Ebony, Ivory and Voodoo Decks so they can now hold both 10 Cannons AND 10 Beams at the same time

    Seren Team Leader Team Seafight

    Ahoy Pirates,

    We are aware of the current problems with the gems not being booked with the three ship designs in the Black Market. In addition, some of the nation ship designs are not currently being booked with gems.

    The team are working on this right now.

    We apologise for any inconvenience caused,

    Your Seafight team
     
  15. Seren

    Seren Team Leader Team Seafight

    Ahoy Pirates,

    Due to the change from Decks to Slots, the Hit Point bonus from the Decks is no longer there. Therefore, the next time we sync we will increase the Hit Points of the Pearl Beams from 900 to 1200 and the Gold Beams from 225 to 400.

    Ahoy Pirates,

    With the sync today we fixed several bugs including:

    · Visual error of Skyfire animation
    · Deactivation of pets
    · Deactivation of chat
    · Points shown in event ticket of the Marauder’s Event
    · Battle Points booked from Marauder’s Event
    · Runtime of the Eye of Precision action item
    · Seers vision deactivating after switching designs
    · Repair speed of the Carpenter level 3
    · Positioning of the Birthday badge

    We also made a few game alterations including:

    · Information displayed underneath ship design can now be switched on and off
    · Slight increase in shooting range of Guild Towers when already in combat (if you enter their shooting range and sail out again, the Towers will now shoot you back!)
    · Asklepios Talent and Brothers in Arms can now be used on NPCs

    Ahoy Pirates,

    We have done a sync with small fixes.

    - The guild tower shoot behavior was changed/fixed (guild towers didn’t shoot back).

    - Keto NPC behavior (the Keto NPC was attacking the heal NPC, even when the healer was stucked in the island)

    - Fixed false client message after trying to shoot with no cannons equipped.

    Ahoy Pirates,

    We have just synced a few changes to the event. We have reduced the cannon aggression range of the Theseus NPC. In addition, because there were too many sailing around without being sunk, the Theseus now regenerates automatically if it is has not been attacked after 5 minutes and the amount of points needed to spawn a Theseus is now 150, instead of 100.

    We have also fixed a bug with the Lost Love action item. In addition, due to the recent milestones, we slightly altered the way the football event bonus damage was calculated.
