| New Features and Updates now Live June 02, 2009
We've released new features and improvements to Pirates of the Caribbean, log in now. This is a perfect chance to begin your life as a Pirate as we've expanded and changed many early game experiences. Enjoy!
New Features:
- Early Quests have been modified for better playability, including Quests to find the first three Black Pearl crew members and Quest lines related to the Voodoo Doll
- Introduced 70 new tutorial pop-up hints, these hints can be turned on and off from the Game Options Menu (F7)
Transportation Enhancements
- Added new Dockworker NPCs to help Pirates stowaway on ships. This is a new transportation option which helps Pirates reach their destination without sailing a ship or needing a Teleport Totem. To become a stowaway, find a Dockworker on the dock of Tortuga, Port Royal, Padres Del Fuego or Cuba and pay him the gold he requests for the service.
- Added 38 new, player submitted ship names to the Shipwrights Ship Naming Menu
Technical Enhancements
- In areas throughout the game, changed enemy difficulties for better playability
- Added Chat Permission Status to the Pirate Profile Panel
- Added an option to toggle on and off Windows Sticky Keys (this option is disabled by default)
Additional Improvements & Bug Fixes:
- Changing Cannon Ammunition types no longer restarts the recharge timer
- Made several bug fixes to NPC's: returned Navy Sailors to normal heights, enemies no longer ambush players and enemies will no longer attack Pirates once you leave their area
- Better feedback/flow for guild name requests.
- The loading screen now appears when starting game instead of a black screen
- Polished the drop down Main Menu and Escape key interaction
- Made several improvements to the Ray of Light to address tracking and hint problems
- Removed the Quest completion percentages from the Journal page
- Re-enabled the "dazed" effect above a Pirates head (for higher-detail graphics/effects settings)
- Fixed a bug where your ship's repair spots would not be available even when the ship was stopped
