That pass is underway and should be included in the v1.2 build.

We already made the biggest change: the global NO buff on max range. We did that when the SOL cost change went in. That was the most critical need and we addressed it at that time.

The current pass is to evaluate the state of NO skills and adjust as needed. We are not actually taking it as a given that the skills are gimped or pointless, nor are we promising any specific outcome (i.e. all skills 135% more better!).

We're reviewing them skill by skill, crunching the numbers, and then we'll decide what to do.

We have not had time to do this during the launch period, but we now have the designer bandwidth to devote to it and it's our first priority for skill tuning at this point.

So: it's underway, no promises as to the likely outcome, but whatever we do will be included in v1.2, which should be on the Testbed server in February.

We talked about adding kilts in beta, but we ran out of time.

This pretty much sums it up. If folks could just resist flaming and trolling, there would be a lot less closed threads. The best thing is for people to report a rules violation instead of "zomg __insert insult here___".

has been reported that Port Unrest is decaying at a rate much faster than intended. We are currently working on a fix for this that will require a publish to all of our game servers.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and will keep everyone updated on our progress as we work to remedy this situation.

Thank you for your patience.

Best,
Aether

Hello all,

We do encourage people to discuss and even debate almost whatever they wish. As long as people do not break the PotBS Forum Rules & Expectations, you can discuss your thoughts on the game.

However, if you do want to respond to a post where folks have expressed frustration or dissatisfaction, you should also be following the PotBS Forum Rules & Expectations.

Specifically, these rules:

- Do not abuse new users
Remember that new users will not always know where to find information that may be common knowledge to the seasoned forum user.

-No Flaming
While debate and discussion are encouraged, we will not tolerate rude or insulting posts, personal attacks or inflammatory posts of any kind.

Really, we do want the feedback, both positive and negative, so we can improve. We're always striving for improving everything from the game to communications to support.

If you feel we're failing, you can indeed express your frustration. If you've experienced an amazing time, we want you to express that, too. Let's just not pick on each other for opposing opinions, okay?

Cheers!

Hey! Some of us are still faithful to a cuppa!

Yessssssssss. We just realized it as well. We broke the unrest decay which is killing the PvP zones. We're working on it now.

What is your network setup?

Pirates of the Burning Sea landed an article in the NY Times on Thursday! The article can be found on the front page of the arts section, or you can view it online by clicking this link!

Enjoy, won't you?

There's a bug that's significantly speeding up unrest decay. Investigating.
