I reckon that If they do add a new story chapter they will have to increase the max notoriety level so that the notoriety points can be used. And if they are going to do that they will need to increase the max weapon levels so that you can battle against the new harder enemies. They may even need to expand the map with new sea areas and Islands for the story quests. To be able to explore this new area of sea you may need new ships better then war frigates. And although I personally do not think it is needed there is always a chance they will add new weapons.

As you can see adding one new story chapter is likely to be a bigger job then first thought.

OR----just a thought......

Your pirate will have to become a bit more......civilized, and the amount of notoriety has been reduced. Here is a possible scenario:

Your pirate has decided to carry papers from the crown, much like the offer made to Jack Sparrow in Dead Mans Chest, and as such, is viewed as less of a pirate.

So, in order to take on this campaign, you will need to have a minimum notoriety level of, lets say, level 35. You will be immediately be demoted to, lets say, level 20. At this point, all of your pirate attacks will lose power accordingly.

So the new quest would not only have an experience requirement, but will increase difficulty at the same time.

Idk, That Make A Lot Of People VERY Mad Including Myself.

i would sue pirates they have no right to take away what we earned

The reprecussions of a change like that could quite possible kill the game. New islands, with new and/or more powerful, higher level enemies can easily solve the "increase" of difficulty issue. As it is, how many pirates under level 20 do we ever see in Tormenta Cave (thats not lost or shipwrecked). The idea is already in action now. Just need more places, and ways to tie them in.


Sentiments of the two members above are pretty right on with how the players would react to negating thier Notoriety/accomplishments. Disney couldnt do this simply because it would be diminishing the value of its players time/money invested. I could see 100's of customers cancelling accounts, lodging complaints if this happens (maybe even 1000's). They already maintain a members pirates even when they dont pay, so they can be reestablished once they decide to pay again. If they were thinking in any lines of diminishing our pirates, they likely wouldnt bother with this. Especially when as I stated above it would be easier to add new islands, harder enemies, and even raise the notoriety cap 5-10 levels to give us a means of further advancement of our pirates, upgraded weapons, etc. Let us work on all becoming Pirate Lords now instead of just Pirate Masters ;)

That's exactly what I want to happen, Now... ;P

Haha... Come ON you Disney Blokes! Finish Chapter 2 for us so we can USE it!!!
