Paper Pirates News

The Witch - promoted to a permanent Trait!
We've had an outpouring of love for our Haunted Seas seasonal trait, The Witch, from all areas of the Paper Pirates community. So much so that we've made the decision to make The Witch a permanent trait, available all year round!

New content for Día de Muertos
We've made some additions to our Day of the Dead seasonal celebration, full details can be found in the Día de Muertos seasonal celebration event page.

Bug Fixes

• A message questioning how all the treasure went overboard when there are no ghosts on board was accidentally displayed twice as part of the game end sequence.
  
• In rare circumstances, when The Wishful was played by a bot, it could cause the active trait timer to wait out its full duration when a decision was already made.
  
• All pirate templates with any of the Parrot hats would default back to the Scarlet colouration when re-entering a lobby. Your correct choice of Parrot should now be recorded!
  

3.4 update arriving soon!
We are hard at work on our next larger patch - details of which will all be revealed soon!

In the first week of November, we’re honouring the spirits of the dead with our most spiritual seasonal event, Día de Muertos! Running from 1st November - 7th November, celebrating for a whole week to give everyone the chance to play!

To celebrate this year's Digital Tabletop Fest, we'll be setting sail, destination: Paper Pirates! Anyone is welcome to join and play along or take part in the audience.

Hope to see you aboard!

Throughout October, celebrate Paper Pirates’ spookiest seasonal event by taking part in the Halloween-themed Haunted Seas event! Running from 1st October - 31st October, a whole host of spooky goings on are waiting for you.



[h2]Seasonal Trait: The Witch[/h2]
New to seasonal celebrations with Haunted Seas is the addition of a seasonal trait! Play a trait game during Haunted Seas, and one of the pirates may find themselves playing as The Witch.



The Witch has a well-stocked larder of ingredients with which to brew magic potions. On days when they don’t play in, they can choose any combination of two ingredients, and then will get to use that potion before the event for that day takes place! Once you’ve learnt a recipe, using the same two ingredients will yield the same results - so pay attention to what you’re mixing together if you want to play as the most skillful Witch you can.

[h2]The “Biggest Bratwurst” Event![/h2]
Go on a sailing adventure during Oktoberfest on the Ocean, and any day when there’s a successful job there is a chance you may encounter the “Biggest Bratwurst” event! The pirates stop for a cook-out, each grabbing a sausage from the grill. Some of the sausages are much bigger than the others though, and everyone knows a pirate needs a full stomach to carry out the most important duties on the ship. The bigger your meal, the higher your rank on the ship! So watch out, if you pull a chipolata, you might end up as Stowaway!



The Biggest Bratwurst event is sure to mix things up amongst the crew, changing who’s next to each other and therefore who’s playing in for different groups of jobs together. Not only that, but if you’re playing a trait game, you might want to be extra careful of who ends up next to The Sensitive!

[h2]Oktoberfest on the Ocean Bots[/h2]
Invite bots into your game during Oktoberfest on the Ocean, and you may encounter any of four unique bots! Look out for Chicken Bot, Hans Botmann, Ida Botmann and Bot Dog, all of whom are eager to board your ship and throw you overboard! These bots will only join your games during Oktoberfest on the Ocean, so take the chance to meet them now before they chicken dance away for the rest of the year!
