    It appears we are having some problems with the servers and logging in. We are aware of this problem and are working towards having the servers up and running very shortly.

    Ahoy Landlubbers!

    The Seafight team is constantly working to improve the game experience as well as to ensure you are provided with as stable a gameplay as possible. Updates, modifications and improvements are constantly being implemented. We know that there is still lots to be done but thanks to your feedback we know we’re on good track. To give you a better overview of all the improvements that have been carried out, we’ve put together this list of changes made in the last four weeks.


    Bug-fixes:

    · After logging out of the client, sails were taken from the ship: Problem fixed!

    · After logging out and logging back in, cannons were taken off board: Bug fixed!

    · Quest error: Some quests could be replayed by terminating the mission ahead of time and players could reap multiple rewards: Issue fixed!

    · Market Cove – faulty gold auctions. On some instances, players did not receive the items won at auction: Problem fixed!

    · Exploit – booking of a reward via the Winter Event link àPossibility to receive rewards by changing the URL: Issue fixed!

    · Pirate test – No white bonus map rewards given after reaching levels four, five and six: Error fixed!

    · Ice cannonballs – NPCs could be “flash-frozen” by using ice cannonballs: Problem fixed!

    · Class 3 Voodoo Priests should have been dropped by treasure chests; no entry was made in the logbook however: Issue fixed!

    · Cannons which were found in locked treasure chests did not show up in the logbook: Problem fixed!

    · Ship castles – in the Voodoo Bundling, it was shown that 5000,00 (instead of 5,000) extra Voodoo Points would be given for each level: Error fixed!

    · Translations were missing in the info screen and logbook (45 x labels_Subscriptions_2): Fixed!

    In addition, further country ships were completed and were played with on the live servers. The Mexican and Polish ship designs were added during the last four weeks. A new powerful bonus – the King’s Legacy – was also made available to players as a special buff.

    Furthermore, we will continue to work on updates and improvements to enrich the seas of Seafight. We will of course keep you informed about any developments.

    Ready the cannons, pirates!

    Ahoy Pirates,


    We will have a sync tomorrow 30th July, please be aware of this and plan your game play accordingly.


    Today we fixed the problem with the Telemachos. All players now should have the gems booked to their accounts.


    Please note that the gems were booked to the inventory and NOT directly into the ship!

    Ahoy Pirates,

    Tomorrow we will have a small sync to introduce the new-look payment section. This update will make the payment section faster and will give you a better overview of the items we currently have in the game.


    In addition, we will release the Spanish Ship Design – more details about this new design coming soon,

    Ahoy Pirates,

    We are planning a sync today. The sync will contain the Battle of the Titans event which is planned to go live tomorrow at 12 noon.

    The sync will also include a fix for the Clash Event so that, shortly after the sync, we can book the daily rewards to those players who were at the top of the ranking after the first 24 hour period and for the 2 hours of the second 24 hour period, before the event was turned off.

    We will also simplify the Chest Keys so that we only have 2 types of key – Normal Chest Keys and Event Chest Keys.

    Ahoy Pirates,

    We are planning to sync shortly. After the sync, you will be able to upgrade each of your upgradable decks 1 further level. This would mean the maximum cannons you can carry on any one deck would now be 13.

    Ahoy pirates!

    Our focus continues to be on improving the game and we've made a number of bug-fixes in recent weeks. We're grateful for your feedback as well as your constructive criticism. We'd like to provide you with an overview of the most important fixes made thus far.

    · Could not be bought by some players: fixed

    · Had the incorrect duration: fixed

    · Disappeared before account expired: fixed


    Miscellaneous:

    · Ship designs which were bought had no gems in the slots: fixed

    · Raid map bosses couldn't be attacked using voodoo cannonballs and shell shock ammo: fixed

    · After the “King's Legacy“ buff expired, cannons weren't taken from the ship: fixed

    · Cancer bonus map – upon entering the Cancer bonus map again, NPCs appeared in mass numbers: fixed

    · The gem “Aventurine” had the wrong graphic: fixed

    · Ship design – special bonus chests of the Specter design: when you place these bonuses to another design, the chests are no longer shown on the mini map: fixed

    · The pet stats weren't displayed in the bestiary: fixed

    · The transfer time from the map to the safe harbor took five seconds instead of 15: fixed

    · The cooldown of “Lost Love” was 9 minutes instead of 5 minutes: fixed

    · Newly registered players received the wrong ship design at the start of the game: fixed

    Your Seafight Team

    We'll keep you posted with updates!

    Ahoy Pirates,

    With today’s sync you will notice a few changes on the Seafight seas! Upon logging onto the sea chart, you will see the water graphics have been updated. The two main reasons for this change are to improve the overall server performance as well as the general look and feel of the water.

    Please note the previous animated water is not available anymore but new animated waves can be seen on the sea chart which are activated as default. You can turn off the waves in the options section directly from the sea chart.

    Another change you will notice is the naming of the harpoons:

    • Harpoon Level 1 is now called Copper harpoon
    • Harpoon Level 2 is now called Lead harpoon
    • Harpoon Level 3 is now called Bronze harpoon
    • Harpoon Level 4 is now called Iron harpoon
    • Harpoon Level 5 is now called Steel harpoon

    A list of bug fixes is being compiled and will be posted in the forum in the next Patch Notes posting which will also cover the bug fixes from the previous and coming weeks.

    Ahoy Pirates

    We are about to sync a fix for the Guild Tower bug!


    In addition, we have made a couple of changes to the Smugglers so that you will now have the chance of getting a Cabin Boy for 1 day from all three of them.


    In addition, we have made a few more changes to the Smugglers – we have changed the Cannon you can get from Johnstone from a 55 pounder to a 60 pounder and the Cannon you can get from Coppinger from a 60 pounder to a 60 pounder level 1.


    Please note that it is actually the Powder Monkeys that you can get from the Manamusa NPC, not the Cabin Boys.

    Ahoy Pirates,

    Here is some information about the Voodoo Ammo types we have in the game so you can clearly see how to best use them in your gameplay.


    [​IMG]

    You can clearly see the differences between them when shooting an opponent with or without their Voodoo shield active. The new improved Soul Eater Ammo make it extremely powerful against Voodoo shields as you shoot “120” damage whilst also draining “60” back to your own Voodoo shield, regenerating yourself. When your opponent no longer has a Voodoo shield you will cause “60” damage.

    In addition, we have made some Bonus Map end reward improvements. The Cancer Map now gives 25 Teleport items instead of 5, the Sagittarius Map gives 15 Bloodlust instead of 5 and the Capricornus Map gives 10 Smoke Bombs instead of 5. A discussion thread has been opened to hear your comments on these improvements.

    Ahoy Pirates,

    Today we are planning a sync which will include the Pumpkin Festival 2014 (which will start tomorrow – more details about this will be announced later today) as well as some background improvements. We will also introduce a very short global cool down time on all items in the game in order to help prevent exploits.

    Ahoy Pirates,

    We are aware of the various issues that have arisen after the sync. We are investigating them now but it will be unlikely to sync a fix before tomorrow morning. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
