Aquila is so annoying.Haven't been able to win of the battle since I have been there.Part of that reason is becuase I keep getting companions at the bottom of my list.I knew Aquila was still going to be unstable going into live realm.

Aye lad, the first thing I noticed when I ventured into the new world was the need to have all of my companions at max level. The level of difficulty has increased here and I for one like that. Battles aren't any fun if you know your going to win every one. Every time I lost ( which isn't often heh heh heh ) I was able to see why I lost and so I went back, changed my strategy and some of my gear and was able to win. It is also important to go to a pvp arena once in awhile and use the companions that you rarely ever see in battle just so you can familiarize yourself with the tactics you need to employ when they are thrown into the mix. Keep a selection of different types of gear on hand instead of selling everything so that you can change strategies and gear when it is necessary. Fair sailing friend!

Sounds more like you're having an unlucky battling experience than actually hating the place. I find the graphics and quest line overall very well done. But at the end of the day, you can't please everyone

I like the storyline and graphics but some mobs are still unblanaced.The manticores for example are the only mob they left with relentless two and still always activates on me.If you saw my Aquila thoughts on test it was so long with the complaining I was doing.

It is interesting how some people have trouble with certain battles and others have trouble with different battles. I did fine against the Satyrs, then lost the last combat with the Vultures. I decided to try a side quest to gain more experience and so I tried the two-headed wolf (I cannot remember the name). I almost won that one but when the wolf (starting with 13248 life points and getting nearly four hits each round) got yet another Super, Mega, or Epic hit. I cannot say that I am enjoying these new levels as much as I enjoyed the first 50 levels.

Second time around I used all musketeers on the two-headed wolf and we kept our distance and won without loosing anyone. Vultures were also defeated a second time, but I am not sure what I did differently.

Hah. I had troubles with the satyrs but stomped the two headed dog. I seem to do better when I am able to get an idea of what my enemy is capable of and then shuffling my companion page around before the battle begins so that some companions are more likely to appear than others. You don't always have that option however so a good rule of thumb is to not use companions of the same class as your pirate. I have been playing my swashbuckler most recently and I usually try to have musketeer companions. This seems to work best for my swashbuckler as the two different classes compliment each other. My musketeer friend is just the opposite and tries to have a swashbuckler or two in his crew for battles. Also it's nice when your companions can benefit from the same buffs you use for your pirate. It is true though that most enemies will present more difficulty for some classes than others.
