TABLE OF CONTENTS
The Transformation in Freehold
The abolition of the Captain rotation introduces a host of modifications, with players now exclusively aligning with Captain Jolly and engaging in combat with Captain Raoul and Captain Eudora during the Council o’ Captains Boss skirmish.
In the current patch 10.0.7, players join a Captain and crew that cycle every three weeks, alternating between the following:
- Captain Jolly of the Cutwater Corsairs
- Captain Raoul of the Blacktooth Brawlers
- Captain Eudora of the Bilge Rats
The Changes
Originally, players would join the crew of the allied Captain, making them appear as friendly units. However, in a recent PTR build, all Cutwater Corsair trash enemies remain hostile despite being allied with Captain Jolly. Most of the crew-specific trash enemies are present in the second section of the dungeon and are listed as follows:
- Cutwater Corsairs: Cutwater Duelist, Cutwater Knife Juggler, Cutwater Harpooner
- Blacktooth Brawlers: Blacktooth Brute, Blacktooth Scrapper, Blacktooth Knuckleduster
- The Bilge Rats: Bilge Rat Padfoot, Bilge Rat Swabby, Bilge Rat Brinescale, Bilge Rat Buccaneer
Usually, these allied crew would leave the dungeon after defeating the Council o’ Captains boss encounter. However, all these enemies remain in the dungeon after defeating the Council o’ Captains and remaining hostile.
The Transformation in Freehold
With the termination of the Captain rotation, players now align solely with Captain Jolly and his comrades. At the same time, combat ensues against Captain Raoul and Captain Eudora during the Council o’ Captains Boss skirmish. This modification has resulted in both positive and negative consequences:
Positive Changes:
- Consistent difficulty level, unaffected by the Captain’s rotation
- Simplified dungeon routing with full-sized trash packs
Negative Changes:
- Loss of camaraderie with the aligned Captain and crew
- Persistence of hostile adversaries in the dungeon
Implications of the Changes
These modifications present a mixture of benefits and challenges for players. While the consistent difficulty level simplifies gameplay, the persistence of hostile adversaries may pose additional hurdles. For some groups, the option to delay allying expansive trash pulls within the dungeon’s secondary segment has been removed. Nonetheless, this change may streamline the dungeon experience for players.
