The theme of this week is laying the foundation for our new gameplay. In the meantime though, we added a bunch of new web features that will make exploring the Pirate Nation universe more accessible and we also decided to change the meta a bit. We also made a lot of changes under the hood that won’t be directly visible to you but will make things run more smoothly.

Game

• Voxel Pirates found their land legs and are ready to explore the island.

• Large gold numbers are now easier to read due to this amazing thing called abbrev.

• Clarified further that the Tesla Coil and Windmills cannot be used… yet

• Added some new quests and have broken your spreadsheets. Sorry not sorry.

• We added the concept of a ‘quest cooldown’ which means it will only be able to be run a certain number of times within a given period. This cooldown is tied to your account, not each of your Pirates.

• Updated the Crew page so all Voxel Pirates can be seen without having to be set as Captain.

• We ran the Founder’s Map Pieces through our PoPvoxelizer.

Web

• Ever wanted to see who else is playing and what they are playing with? Ya, us too. Introducing the PPP: Player Profile Pages! Check 'em out by clicking on any Pirate image on the Leaderboard.

• We made the Leaderboard and Activity pages easier to navigate to when not logged in.

• We added some animations to our thumbnail images.

Community

• Launched a puzzle with Scott Kominers. It was pretty punny if we do say so ourselves. Congrats to lil_elbow for solving it first!

New Bugs

• The Loot Table information for the Roll the Bones quest appears cut off.

• The Loot Table for the Roll the Bones quest appears with the 1k gold reward at 0% when it is actually .5%.

• Quest Cooldown timer does not appear when hovering over the Cooldown Clock.

• On some browsers, you may not be able to move your voxel pirate around. This has been called out for the Edge browser specifically.
