Review

This is official description applies to version 2.9

Plunge into the high-stakes world of 18th Century seafaring with Pirates of the Burning Sea. Set against the backdrop of the New World, this MMORPG allows players to skillfully navigate both land and sea as English, French, or Spanish captains or sail under the black flag as a member of the Brethren of the Coast—a pirate. Successfully engage in tactical ship combat, swashbuckling adventures and cutthroat economics to advance in each career path. Loyal nationals strive to master navigational skills as Naval Officers, Privateers or Freetraders. Pirates terrorize the seas as manipulative Buccaneers or brutal Cutthroats.

Pirates of the Burning Sea features a player run economy, where captains can forge their own empires across the Caribbean. By building quarries, distilling rum (to boost morale) or managing large scale production and distribution, players contribute to the high-stakes world of commerce. In a place where profits are the dream and desperate measures the reality, it's no wonder pirates live by the maxim "dead men tell no tales." With rich user-created content, epic missions and stunning graphics, Pirates of the Burning Sea satisfies every adventurer.

Main Features:
- Choose to be a Naval Officer, Privateer, Freetrader, Buccaneer or Cutthroat.
- Battle other players to control more than 80 conquerable ports in the Caribbean.
- Become an elected Port Governor and influence economy and defenses.
- Engage in tactical ship combat, firing broadsides and boarding the enemy using one of over 150 historical ships.
- Specialize in one of four different styles of land combat - formal Fencing, dual-wielding Florentine, treacherous Dirty Fighting or brutal Brawling.
- Explore the world and make a name for yourself in more than 1000 missions.
- Vie for power and wealth with the fully player-driven economy.
- Design your own personal flags and customized sail patterns.

What's new in version 2.9

Ships and Ship Combat:
- A modification has been made to the group strength mechanics involving NPCs. NPCs now only count for .02 of their displayed value for group strength calculations regarding reinforcement. This value is adjustable and we welcome feedback regarding this setting.

Treasure Aisle:
- Non-consumable clickable mission rewards have been added to Treasure Aisle for characters that have unlocked them by completing the affiliated mission.
- A Halfway Pack has been added alongside the Starter Pack for levels 25 and up.
- A new recipe book “Pages from a Bosun’s Journal” can be found in Treasure Aisle. The recipe book allows for the creation of: Tight-Braced Cross Catharpins, Hammock Netting, and Well-Ordered Pinrails.
- A Server Transfer Request token added to “Account” tab, with a special price in the Captain’s Club tab.
- An Active Nation Reset Request token added to “Account” tab, with a special price in the Captain’s Club tab.
- New 1-hour and 6-hour bonus books have been added to “Consumables” tab. The 6-hour books are replacing the 8-hour books. All bonus books have received price adjustments.
- A new “All New” category has been added in each tab to easily find the newest items in each category.
- A new “Festive Loyal Dog” has been added to the “Pets” tab. (We couldn’t find a reindeer, so we made one instead.)
- A Holly-Day hat accent is unlocked in Treasure Aisle by completing the seasonal mission “A Penny to Bury the Wren.”
- Captain’s Club now contains older seasonal clothing in the Specially Priced section. Enjoy!
- Tackle Box: Bahamas, Florida, Louisiana was still hidden from Captain’s Club members after being removed from the Specially Priced section. It is now back in the Angling section for all players.
- Two new kilts and two new tams have been added to the Captain’s Club section of Treasure Aisle.

Ships and Outfittings:
- The Centurion Third Rate has been added to the game. The recipe to create the Uncertified Deed will be purchasable in Treasure Aisle.
- Insurance on the Centurion was lower than it should have been, and captured versions of it and the San Fernando were not flagged as Invalid for Pirates. This is fixed.
- Boarding resistance for all ships has been returned to its previous value of 50% to correct boarding resistance issues.
- Captured San Fernando deeds are now tradable, and they no longer pay out insurance.
- The new outfitting rewards Careful Gun Crews and Ship’s Cat have been added to each national MoV Exchange Shop.

Avatars:
- Adjustements on how the Hellhounds swords sit when sheathed so that they no longer have clipping issues.
- The Halloween swords healing effects should no longer stomp other healing effects such as those in fighting school-specific skills.
- The Bone Pole fishing pole should no longer suffer animation issues.
- The Floral Calaca and Black & White Calaca face paints were swapped. This has been fixed.
- The reward coat for completing “Yard Armor” wasn’t working with certain glove and coat combinations on male avatars. Fixed.

Missions:
- Added 2011 Holiday titles for A Penny to Bury the Wren mission and the gift exchange.
- The mission “Black Flags or Dread Saints” wasn’t possible to complete, since none of the treasure spots generated any treasure. This is fixed.

What's new in version 2.7

- A new Captains Club button has been added to Treasure Aisle. If you are not a Captains Club member, this will direct you to the sign-up page. If you are already a Captains Club member, you will have access to a new section in Treasure Aisle with things like special offers and exclusive and limited-time content for Captains Club members only. New content releases in the future will reside in this section of Treasure Aisle for a milestone before being moved into the main sections of Treasure Aisle. Contents of this new section are as follows:

- New: category (items reside here for the first milestone): Avatar Tattoos, Curious Black Cat follow pet, Weapon Breaker hook hand for avatar customization, and Ol Woody fishing pole.

- Limited/Exclusive category (these will remain Captains Club exclusives and may only be available for a limited time): Curious Ocelot follow pet, Quetzalcoatl fishing pole, new free title Joined the Club, and new PvP bounty titles. These items will remain exclusive to Captains Club members. The Ocelot and the titles require a current Captains Club membership to be summoned/worn.

- Specially Priced (items available to non-Captains Club members offered in a special bundle or reduced price for a limited time): a randomized Lieutenant Commission bundle containing four different stacks of five Lieutenants, reduced price 8hr Bonus books (Doubloons, Faction, Loot), and a reduced price Orange Frog shoulder pet.

- The BSP prices of vanilla ships in Treasure Aisle have been adjusted (downward) to narrow the difference between the BSP price converted to doubloons and the actual market value of the ships. It is still much cheaper to purchase these ships from the Auction Houses but not so dramatically as before.

- Ships and Outfittings:
Based upon player feedback, Fortified Linen Sailcloth (permanent outfitting) had a stat added for improved usefulness: Mast Damage Resistance (+2).
The Dauntless frigate recipe was requiring MoVs. This was incongruent with other ship recipes and didn’t make much sense. MoVs were removed from the recipe and the number of ships output by the recipe was reduced.
Insurance values for all craftable ships has been reduced to match minimum crafting costs at maximum Port Infrastructure, with Lineship Structure Bundles providing 50% of their cost in insurable value. The existing 90% multiplier standard is then factored in.
Fallback ships all have one durability. Previously some of the starter fallbacks had multiple durability possibly making it more difficult for newer players to understand the fallback mechanic.

- First and Second Rate ships can no longer have durability refilled.

- The stats of captured versions of the Khan, Conquistador MC and Achilles were out of synch with changes made in 2.5.60.0. These captured ship deeds should now show their corrected stats.

- Adjusted insurance of refits to more closely match their base ship’s insurance value. This means that MOVs are no longer insured in these refits.

- Sail decal colorization bug has been fixed. You should now be able to colorize yours sails as before.

Missions:

- Prison Riot was causing zone server crashes in rare situations due to the infinite respawns and lack of objective constraints. The mission now has a 6 minute time limit and a fixed number of respawns shared between the group.

- Some loot tables were generating more items than they should. Known ones have been fixed to be more appropriate for levels, etc. Let us know if you find any issues with certain mission NPCs loot drops.

- Daily missions have received a reduction to their doubloon reward payout.

- The Prince of Thieves mission was blocked from completion by an unrelated dialog in the Grand Turk Home. Fixed.

- The Dividing Loyalties mission mislabeled the destination regions players were directed to. Fixed.

- Due to popular demand, the Turtle Recall mission chain is now available to all nations.

- Killing Captain Iguana in the Baptism by Fire daily mission was not properly failing the mission as it should. Fixed.
