The new update is here, but it probably should have probably stayed on test realm a little longer to work out all the bugs. I just watched Blaze Lifehammer's video to see how this long awaited update for Pirate101 would be exposed to thousands of potential new players, here's what I observed:
1. The Brass monkey instance still has that bug where none of the environment loads in. You simply fight Brass monkey in a black hole.
2. Some random player ported into an already in progress instance of the Duck of Death.
3. ...and sure enough, with an outpouring of feedback in test realm describing the problem with the loot in these new skeleton boss key fights...Blaze remarked he will never do these dungeons again given the terrible loot.
Very grateful for a new update, but these types of issues are not going to bring in new players that is desperately needed (or more importantly...keep the old players, playing). KI please relook the content that was released for much needed fixes.
