Release Notes for build 1.3.53.0
05.05.08
by Misha
Differences between 1.3.32.0 and 1.3.53.0 include:
- Port Battles that used the Wild Keys room would sometimes kick players back to town when they tried to zone in. We’ve removed Wild Keys as a Port Battle room until we can fix this properly.
- Fixed issue with the port owner not getting updated in transition to raided state. This caused problems with the Auction House.
- There was an exploit possible during Dueling that is no longer possible.
- There was a bug where, if you got disconnected during Boarding combat, the results are not what you’d hope or expect. We believe we’ve fixed that.
- Pointe-a-Pitre: There were problems with several textures which caused then to flash annoyingly. Fixed half of them.
- Pointe-a-Pitre: Added multiple coxswains so it’s easier to get out of town.
- It’s now possible to grapple when you’re moving 10 knots, as well as when your target is moving 10 knots.
Known Issue:
- Attackers can no longer withdraw from boarding combat (i.e. by clicking on the grappling hooks) until the combat is finished. It will appear that you can leave, but you can’t.
Release Notes for build 1.3.30.0 can be found here.

by Aether
We will be publishing Pirates of the Burning Sea Build 1.3.53 to all our game servers on Wednesday, May 7th during the normal 1:30a to 3:30a maintenance window.
The delay in publishing this patch gives us the opportunity to address problems reported with the Matthew Town Auction House and issues with Port Battles.
We appreciate your patience while we work to remedy these issues.
Best,
Aether
