Patch Notes Discussion - 1.2.2

:) yay yay

It looks like a small update, but I'll take it. Bring on the next waves!

Summary:

• Kraken is still disabled.
• The Cursed Sails Event is extended by one week.
• Skeleton Ships will spawn as an event after the Cursed Sails Campaign (much like Skeleton Forts)
• Next Bilge Rat adventure will introduce Cursed Cannonballs to players.
• The Forsaken Shores will be teased at Gamescom in Colonge, Germany (August 21-25).

You forgot the "Looking for a crew" links and advises under the skeleton picture at the end of your post, @khaleesibot!

No fix for the instantly sinking barrels of plenty?

nice! :D I hope I can get the alliance commendation now properly with another crew :D otherwise I have to hope to get the doubloons for week 2 ;)

@personalc0ffee Well, if they were paying attention, they’ll redo the first week’s crews with a shifted schedule. That was the one where the scheduling issue was at its worst and people couldn’t do specific crews.

I love the Cursed Sails skeleton ships and many of the new features but I have not enjoyed the event over the past 2 weeks

We struggled to find other ships willing to take on the Battles which made it very hard being the only ship fighting... If we did find someone, it was rare you could trust them.

Even to the point of dropping your ow gunpowder barrel on your ship to ruin your preparation entirely...

This has been nowhere near as enjoyable as the Hungering Deep DLC.

it's been a bear to do. The constant bailing and fixing. It looks cool, but solo it's really tough and alliances have been a soar spot. members betraying the alliance, people joining last minutes after the big fight and reaping rewards etc... Agreed a little long to finish would be nice.

@dreamingnomad i think the 4th week was not for the individual crews but for the limited items you can only get (ship customization) for doing all 3 regions...

but maybe they suprise us next week :)

So how does the 1 week extension work? I still needed to finish the Marauder's arch fight in week 2. We're onto Week 3 with 3 new skellie ship battles, so will week 2 or 1 ships come back into rotation?

@urihamrayne tbh hopefully they decrease the timing on this dancing XD I can deal with everything except this stunlocking :P

Does anybody already know or has a suggestion what the last 3 curses will be? :D

@urihamrayne oh no....then hopefully the sleeping won't take so long XD but thank you :D

Seems to me they should have offset the times by maybe 3 hour cycles instead of 4. It would give smaller windows, but more chances at the crew you needed. Having 2 chances at precisely the same time of day doesn't help you if you can't make that time at all. A sliding scale so that each day the cycle is an hour earlier would have been a far better setup and they could post the times on the website since all servers are synced. And coding the website with a dropdown menu for timezone would be very easy.

@british-legends Skeleton Captain Skulls count towards the Fort skulls commendation.
