I'm not antisocial but I draw the line at having to mark my calendar with time slots I must devote to a game in order to progress.

Looks like I finally found a game that is entertaining and exciting without being "work" at the same time.
Excellent! I feel the same way; heck I've played my main WoW toon since Dec 2005 and I am still only level 64. I never raid, rarely do dungeons...and have a blast. However, it is hard when you're locked out of so much content.

The way this will be....everyone will have a chance to participate and customize your game play to your game style.

I'll amend my statement earlier. Whilst I don't do PVP and normally do everything to avoid it, this is the first game I've actually *enjoyed* PVP. I don't do it often, but every so often I do. When I do, win or lose, I have a blast.

Depends. Were you logged out in the open sea? If so, you were probably sunk. If not, can you give us a bit more detail? Have you filed a bug report?

1 in thread Ok so POTBS bosses [General PotBS Discussion]
There are a few tailored boss fights in the first content update.

Anytime there's an encounter that drops special stuff, there will be other ways (such as PvP) to get comparable items without doing the encounter.

This sounds like "No Trespassing", which was formerly a level 5 mission with a very small main target ship (I think a chasse maree), and is now a level 10 mission with a level 14 flute as the main target. I just played it on the live servers as a 13th level character, and saw exactly that: a level 14 flute. The mission didn't scale with my level. It awarded the standard 145 xp for a level 10 mission when I finished.

I think seeing that ship as a flute after the patch may have been a shock!

Yep. In v1.1, coming shortly after launch, we change the way these skills work to fit the recent changes to initiative.

1 in thread No More "Initiate Increase Over Time" as Skill Describes? [Discuss: Avatar Combat & Avatar Skills]
Yep, this was a side effect of our recent initiative changes that we overlooked. We are changing the way these skills work and you'll see that in v1.1, coming shortly after launch.
