Talk Like a Pirate Day!
Ahoy there, you Bilge rats, man Jacks and Stowaways! It be your Master-at-arms, Cinderella. Hold fast and read well this here flag hoist, to avoid bein’ sent to Davy Jones’ Locker.

Yarr, it be Talk Like a Pirate Day, and for the first time, we’re celebrating here on Delta V. You Lubbers can talk to the bonny wench Big Tuna in the West Naval Yard for some nice booty! Let your colors fly with the Talk Like a Pirate Day achievement, send your enemies across the bar with new Pirate-themed weapons, and look the part with new nautical styles!

And of course, you’ll need to talk like a pirate on September 19th, or you might have to meet with the Captain’s Daughter!

(For future reference, the Captain’s Daughter is another name for a Cat of Nine Tails, an instrument of punishment.)

Pirate Booty *Update*!

In order to make enough epic weapons for everyone, Varium and non-Varium alike, we're taking a bit more time to finalize and test the TLaPD weapons. Look for them to drop at BigTuna's shop in the West Naval Yard around the actual Talk Like a Pirate Day (September 19).

It's been a shark kinda week.

Farewell to Dragon Weapons

Nightwraith was nice enough to extend the length of time the Dragon weapons were in the shop. However, it’s time to send them down to Davy Jones’ Locker until next year!

Everyone who should have received the Dragon Master achievement but was not awarded it should have already received it by now. Email Nightwraith@Battleon.com if you're still having an issue!

Making the Lag Beast Walk the Plank!

Titan and his new assistant have been working feverishly all week to determine the source of the recent lag woes in EpicDuel, which have caused skipped turns and other bizarre and annoying bugs. Are two heads really better than one? We'll find out soon enough! Literally ever action in the game have been examined to address the problem, which means drastic changes abound through the engine. If you notice any new bugs crop up, please report them in the forums!

They Might be Giant...

...Water bugs! Known among scientists as Belostomatidae, Giant Water Bugs are the largest insects in the order Hemiptera (also known as True Bugs), between 2cm and 12cm or more in length. These giant predators prey upon crustaceans, fish, and amphibians, and have been known to feed on baby turtles and water snakes. They pierce their prey and inject the victim with digestive fluids. They have been known to bite humans, and their bite is considered the most painful.

One interesting aspect of Belostomatidae is that they are one of the few insects to demonstrate parental care. After mating, the female lays her eggs on the male’s back, and it is he who cares for the eggs until they hatch.

State Alchemist -> RE: =ED= New Design Notes 9/13 - Talk Like a Pirate Day! Live! (9/13/2011 19:07:18)

So this is announced today, but it won't be ready until Sept 19? Or will a kick/reboot be happening soon?

Just asking for clarification.

Good work team on adding to the game!



PivotalDisorder -> RE: =ED= New Design Notes 9/13 - Talk Like a Pirate Day! Live! (9/13/2011 19:14:04)

I am curious, do people refresh the DNs page every 5 minutes in the hope they can post them first on the forum ?
always seems like a race lol, like that time three people posted their own topic for them.



One Winged Angel1357 -> RE: =ED= New Design Notes 9/13 - Talk Like a Pirate Day! Live! (9/13/2011 19:19:08)

State Alchemist -> RE: =ED= New Design Notes 9/13 - Talk Like a Pirate Day! Live! (9/13/2011 19:24:32)

I happened to be looking on my facebook (which i basically keep just for ED stuff) and the design notes thing appeared.

Thats all



PivotalDisorder -> RE: =ED= New Design Notes 9/13 - Talk Like a Pirate Day! Live! (9/13/2011 19:28:22)

State Alchemist, you didn't post the DNs, Helloguy did. now I am confused lol



State Alchemist -> RE: =ED= New Design Notes 9/13 - Talk Like a Pirate Day! Live! (9/13/2011 19:36:36)

I am too lazy to post it myself LOL



TankMage -> RE: =ED= New Design Notes 9/13 - Talk Like a Pirate Day! Live! (9/13/2011 19:38:02)

Really can't wait for this update, it is just what I was looking for! A new achievement should be nice to add to my seasonal collection & Some Pirate-themed weapons should be absolutely amazing, maybe some dual wield hooks for the Bounty hunters [;)]!



Fay Beeee -> RE: =ED= New Design Notes 9/13 - Talk Like a Pirate Day! Live! (9/13/2011 20:34:44)

Well it should be a fun day.

Please note as well how much time we have been given as advanced information. :)

Elf Priest JZaanu -> RE: =ED= New Design Notes 9/13 - Talk Like a Pirate Day! Live! (9/13/2011 20:45:15)

Is the new achievement token based, battle based, or purchase based?



PivotalDisorder -> RE: =ED= New Design Notes 9/13 - Talk Like a Pirate Day! Live! (9/13/2011 20:46:38)

@Fay beeee: isn't it funny that their are no topics complaining about the DNs being too early. where is Buffy ? lol



Stabilis -> RE: =ED= New Design Notes 9/13 - Talk Like a Pirate Day! Live! (9/13/2011 20:47:52)

One Winged Angel1357 -> RE: =ED= New Design Notes 9/13 - Talk Like a Pirate Day! Live! (9/13/2011 20:55:48)

For the record a landlubber is one who does not know the parts of a ship and terms used on a ship so a landlubber i am not.

Ashley -> RE: =ED= New Design Notes 9/13 - Talk Like a Pirate Day! Live! (9/14/2011 0:50:30)

PivotalDisorder -> RE: =ED= New Design Notes 9/13 - Talk Like a Pirate Day! Live! (9/14/2011 0:56:42)

PD -> RE: =ED= New Design Notes 9/13 - Talk Like a Pirate Day! Live! (9/14/2011 2:27:19)

I still want perma-rare conent for levels 20-29.

In fact the next 4 should be dedicated for filling in that gap until the variety and choices are as far out as the rainbow stretches

Yeah... I'm a hippie. Git wid it.



PivotalDisorder -> RE: =ED= New Design Notes 9/13 - Talk Like a Pirate Day! Live! (9/14/2011 2:36:03)

@PD: new players get to 27+ and because they are new, they had bought items regularly, retrained multiple times, some even enhance items [I did at about level 10]
and are completely broke, then they are expected to level from 27-33 with garbage items. on the way they will eventually upgrade their items 1 by 1, but for hundreds
of battles they are gonna completely suck. I abandoned my first 3 characters at 23-27 because I had made so many mistakes levelling and I started again, 2nd time
round I was far more frugal with my spending so that I could afford the higher level items when I really needed them and because we can use items 5 levels early
that means you get top items from 29 onwards. having more items from 25-29 just encourages players to spend their much needed credits instead of saving them.

I have no problem with additional items being added that cover gaps but adding more items just for the sake of it doesn't make much sense to me. the only reason I
can see for doing it is if the player can afford varium packages and doesnt mind wasting a lot of it on items to help them level.



PD -> RE: =ED= New Design Notes 9/13 - Talk Like a Pirate Day! Live! (9/14/2011 2:40:26)

^^ That could just be solved with lower credit prices for all stuff. (Seriously, everything's too expensive)

And personally I don't see the reasoning in only accommodating the releases to an exclusive amount of people (Near to cap or at cap people) either; All it does is exclude everyone else from enjoying stuff when the other games accommodate releases for everyone... or at least a broader range of people.



PivotalDisorder -> RE: =ED= New Design Notes 9/13 - Talk Like a Pirate Day! Live! (9/14/2011 3:04:27)

@PD: totally agree about the prices. was even worse before power hour and the encumbrance thing.

thing is, they were releasing lower level items when the cap was lower, long before I started playing. I can't think of any games that release lower level items 2-3 years later when
their is already plenty of items to go around. now that your not limited to using items that are your level or lower, I think the need for lower level items is even more diminished.

I understand where your coming from but the game is about levelling. In world of warcraft you can turn off experience gains, so using lower level characters with the best items
available at that level is very popular [twinks] but we don't have that feature. I actually think it would be a pretty cool feature to have, and if we did then I'd be all for adding more
items from 1-29. It would also solve the problem of having low credits at higher levels as you could stop levelling and just grind out wins until you were ready to move on.

I like that idea so much I am gonna go put it in the suggestion section.



Digital X -> RE: =ED= New Design Notes 9/13 - Talk Like a Pirate Day! Live! (9/14/2011 3:08:14)

12cm bug o.O That's scary just imagining it..

Talking like a pirate on that day will be no problem ^^



drinde -> RE: =ED= New Design Notes 9/13 - Talk Like a Pirate Day! Live! (9/14/2011 7:36:50)

Arr. Arr. Arr. Arr. For those who don't understand:

1. I want a Piratical Hat for my Bounty Hunter.
2. I has a need for a good STR energy gun.
3. Arr.
4. I will be offline on Speak like a Buccaneer day since I have school. Hope it lasts a week.



Silver Sky Magician -> RE: =ED= New Design Notes 9/13 - Talk Like a Pirate Day! Live! (9/14/2011 9:07:16)

I hope that the weapons will be good - but that there won't be any that I particularly want to get, since I'm too busy to farm for credits :P
