I asked Moondoggie (lvl 40 former fully mastered weapons on test) and he said he didn't have any rep towards lvl 41 when he logged on after the update. Just my luck that my alt (Shadow) is 22 rep from lvl 40 on the main servers with all weapons mastered so I guess I'll not master him yet and keep my questing rep for the updates.

I'm sure Disney took the time to make it possible for already mastered pirates to get to level 50. At least from reading the thread it sounds like they put all the rep you earned after mastering towards the new levels.

Godo thing too, because if they didn't they'd be getting a lot of complaints. Speaking of the raised Nort caps, does anyone know how much rep you need for weapon levels 26-30? I'm hoping it's not too much, because I hated leveling grenades to level 25, and I'm sure it won't compare to level 30.

One of my friends was fully mastered prior to this, they said its 5600 rep to level 26 for a weapon, 42600 rep to 41

Gee, alot of work for my low pirates to eventually get there...lol Certainly won't get bored! Thx SOS for that info

Thanks... but now I'm starting to regret asking. :laughks2:

I hope that shortly after this update comes to open, the second story quest will come out to give us enough rep to get to level 50. It's really too bad, though, that they haven't released any new islands. I'm sure even one more new island could mean an intertaining second story quest. As of right now I'm a bit worried that we'll have to go back, fight lower level enemies, and possibly go to the exact same places we went to during the BP Quest.

We might not have to fight low level enemies. I can't really remember, but I know there was a thread before saying.. we might have to be higher level to finish the pearl? If that is the case, we would be mid 20's to low 30's, which would give us a slightly more difficult quest. Even if its possible to be low level and finish it, Disney may have had it to where they would like you to be higher level when finished, meaning they could base the next quest around that.

Quite honestly, I DON"T CARE if I have to fight the same enemies in the same locations or not! The fact remains that I have waited over a year since my first AND second pirates hit level 40. Those two have been shelved ever since then. I applaud the fact that there will be new increases in the Noto and Weapons caps. I have been paying good money while waiting for Disney to give me something to do, and now (soon) I have it!

I REALLY do want the next story chapter, but I also think the levels have to be raised, and the new content distributed in a controlled fashion. If I reach level 50 and all maxed out before the next story chapter, then I'll complain.

hmm
 

Hmm I have clicked the card for a few pirates and sure enough it says level 41 but when I TP to them, surprise, they are only level 40. This seems to be a glitch for some of my friends. I do know a few players that have actually leveled to 41 already.

Its a long way between levels-5600 to 26, 5900 to 27 and then I don't know since I didn't get there. Just an estimate but 6200, 6500, 6700? Add them up and you get 30,900. In my last estimate I used 31,000 so I don't think its far off the numbers. 8 things to master times 31,000 is 248,000 reps. With those numbers you only get to about level 45 note. That leaves about 300,000 reps to go to master, I can't wait to quest for that many reps. Should take a good long time(lets hope)

For the last few levels of my alt, I was bagging over 50,000 rep a day but even then it would take a week and school's starting soon. Why couldn't they have done this in the summer rather than now when everyone's busy?

Thats the point I think...

Why put new updates in summer when all the kids are going to be home playing them and finishing fast and then quitting unlimited.
Disney is all about the money!
They put in updates right before school because they know it will take longer for us to get bored!!

:Pirate4:Yep pretty boring idea just get a few more Benjamins!!

If these updates do come on September 8th, I have 3 days to get it done. 100,000 rep per day :laughks2:

Well, seeing as I only have one mastered pirate(because when I rush through games I lose interest very fast), I can't argue with that statement.

I do, however, not want to play POTCO if I'm going to have to do what I already did over again. I don't mind doing the exact same thing on another pirate, but doing the exact same thing on the same pirate is TOO repetitive. If I'm going to level up my weapons to level 30, I want to go to some place new. Not just tormenta all over again.

They could throw in some really creepy island just for higher level enemies, that way us higher level pirates can actually level up in a different place. I can only stand so much repeat, and I can only easily get my weapons to level 30 by leveling up in tormenta, I don't want to.

Throw in some big grand spooky island, Disney, so that there's more places to level up at. This is POTCO we're talking about, and they can expand their story even farther than the regular POTC story. I just don't see how some people are going to be able to level up their weapons to 30 if they only do it in tormenta. And if they do it somewhere else odds are they aren't going to find a high enough enemy group to level up their weapons.

I'm sorry, but I shouldn't have to spend MY money on a game that forces me to repeat things over and over again without anything original. Let's pretend for a minute that no new islands are coming to the carribean. No new are what-so-ever. Can you do 3+ story quests with nothing new and fighting EXACTLY the same enemies over and over again? I can't...

Personally I just got to 40, and I am sick of weapon lvling. The only thing I like is that in SvS there never seem enough Skill Points to really let you do damage, so with weapons at 30, thats a nice bonus of 5 skill points. Also, I cant stand to not be mastered after all that hard work. And I don't think disney is makeing it too easy, they are making the rep you get from enemys higher, but I think they are trying to keep it from getting unbearable. Either way I garantee that on the first day of being able to lvl to 50, there will be many. I hope to get there in, at most, 2-3weeks, by systematicly mastering weapons based on my favorites and what would be easiest. I think any weapon that kills multiple targets is a great choice for this.

I don't think I will be re-newing my subscription in a year's time. Unless there is some new long quest to do, similiar size as black pearl or maybe kraken will arrive. I'm fed up weapon leveling, the only thing I seem to do thats worthwhile on POTC is help fellow Pirates. It seems I have to constantly level weapons to achieve being master, which is the ultimate goal for your Pirate, t'is now boring and tedious sadly.

I don't think you'll have to wait too long - as the main reason for finally Raising the cap is to relase a major storyline soon after (hence - if they released the major storyline before the cap - none of the new Rep from the quest would count - and that would be bad :) )

The new quest from the other threads already floating around and from the conversations with the new NPCs suggest the next sotryline based around Rotts Guild and his possible connection to Jolly Roger - it may not contain new islands or a kraken - but I think it will be a major story quest (and as a bonus - you can even do his mini-quests meantime).

Though there are no new islands - they did increase REP earned from a target (115 REP for land based, 150 REP for Ships the last I've been able to confirm) so getting from 40 to 50 will at least be a tad bit easier :)
