Cool Ranch Update

KingsIsle taken another look at the world of Cool Ranch and made some improvements that we think you’ll like.

First, Cool Ranch was an annoyingly big place! You’ll be happy to know a new fast transport service is now available in Cool Ranch to help players travel quickly from skyway to skyway. Drop by the docks of Cooper’s Roost, Bison Village, Junction, Santa Pollo, Tumbleweed, and Fort McMurtry to give the Stagecoach a try!

Second, the major changes for players in Cool Ranch are as follows:

• Shortened the dungeons “Hidden Valley Ranch,” ”Dusty Arroyo Cave,” and “Miranda.”
• The Miranda encounter in particular has had a major overhaul, removing many unnecessary combat goals to reduce the total time investment to complete the goals.
• Bosun Budd has been improved, adding an additional tier and some interesting new powers to the encounter. (And if you happen to have Bosun Budd as a companion from the Crown Shop, you'll notice that your companion also a new promotion tier, as well as those new powers. Enjoy!)
• Fixed several Cool Ranch quests where companion dialog would block players from moving.
• In preparation for an all new Cool Ranch-themed Puppet Show . . . The Thunderbird has a new voice.

Lastly, they’ve gone through many of Cool Ranch’s instances and problem areas and fixed a lot of bugs, and they’ve also improved the camera work and polish on several quests. Here are a few of the more notable fixes: 

• Improved the drop rates of the items needed for the quest “A Spoonful of Stingers.”
• The location of the Stingtails encountered during the quest “Save Those Jolly Ranchers!” have been moved to a new location called Cueva de la Alacrán.
• Caltrops encountered during the battle with Deacon will once again cause damage.
• Spaced out the Black Storm Raider Ships that were bunched together in Tumbleweed Skyway.
• Cleaned up the quest goals and camera angles for the quest “A Merriweather Chase.”
• Soaring Skies in Cooper’s Roost now sells Frigates as well as Skiffs.
• The quest “Mighty Medicine” will no longer require players to defeat ships in Arroyo Grande.
• It’ll be a bit clearer when Captain Blood summons skeletons and fire in the Miranda dungeon.
• Players are now able to skip past a few fights in Froggo Villa’s cave.
• The spider encountered during the quest “Range War!” will no longer display as a treasure chest icon for its dialog.
• Players are no longer required to “Survive 13 Rounds” during the combat found during the quest "Lies, Lies, They're All Lies!"
• Added a new Duck of Death Puppet Show, which players will encounter during the quest, The Enemy Revealed. Those players who have already completed the Duck of Death quest will now find the new puppet show in their existing list of Puppet Shows.
