October 12th is fast approaching as the day that the NEW Booster Pack will be released! I have been trying to play the Beta almost every day for at least an hour or two, so I can get a head start on what and where things are. Some of the problems as soon as the Booster Pack is released I see are:
1) It is going to be real difficult to get to the Sea Market.
2) Anything to do with Cannons, Cannon Materials and Cannon Re-Loading is going to need a script. <It takes 3 different skills, lots of materials, and 3 steps to just make a match to light the cannons -- I have sent a note to the Developers as to why we just can't use torches to light Cannons, as they already exist in the game.>
3) Boarding NPC Ships, Killing the Crew, and Looting the NPCs, as well as the Hold is going to be a lot of fun. What will be more fun is to loot Player Ships in Felucca!
4) Scalis, the Water Champ is one of the hardest Champs the game has seen so far -- it takes a White Fabled Fishing Net to summon him, so save all of your white Fabled Fishing Nets.
5) You will need to stock a lot of boards and cloth in your hold to make Temporary Repairs at Sea when your Ship gets damaged -- also always make sure you have a rowboat in your backpack or hold in case your ship gets disabled and you need to go back to shore for Supplies...Rowboats move at 1/4 of Ship's Speed.
This is what I have seen so far...more to come as I find out and get more frustrated
