Interesting.. wish i coulda been there.

boy, I wonder who the former member is

With the dropped NPC hints of new islands and Walter was referring to pirates learning the truth - they are likely connected to the new islands coming soon.

And just a little comment.

Why is everything in the game now being done through the Marceline or the Muertos? Jack, Will, Elizabeth, Tia and the others have little or not say at all in what's happening. Does that bother anyone else?

I mean - Sandra is now doing all the voodoo stuff and spirit stories, forget about Tia. Walter was doing a lot of the leading etc. The movie characters are being left out of everything. Not that the Marcelines aren't interesting but they're not why we came to the Caribbe.

A lot of this may also mean that we may not be seeing a Chapter 2 anytime soon. Because if it doesn't ALL tie into the next chapter - we're being distracted.

+1 Eliza !

:cat-ani: The reason why it is being done is probably economics. A few interns with a script are cheap compared with getting Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightly to do the voices for the cut scenes.

Just confirmed "officially" no lies I am telling the truth here: Captain Walter "IS OFFICIALLY DEAD"... "He has passed onto the other side..." :'( :( :/ Rest In Peace Captain Walter. :'( :( :/:sadmh9:

In which case, the Marciline guild will need a new gm. Mr. Sparrow? XD

Agreed. I think it would have been much cooler if they just made Jack, Elizabeth, Will, and Tia characters instead of Walter and Sandra and such. They could have had them appear and do these "GM" events instead. I would appreciate that MUCH more than I do these sightings. Not to say I don't like the way they are doing it, it's just I would prefer to see actual game characters interacting with us pirates instead. Just my opinion....

Wait. So earlier, I was only joking when I said that he might be dead.

But he's really dead?

Disney wouldn't have to pay Depp, Bloom or Knightley anything in order to use the characters in the GM events. There are no voices, and it is Disney who owns the characters, not the actors. It doesn't matter WHO is doing the typing of the script during an event.

The entire GM event thing used to be previews of things to come, hints of how to play the game, discussions about new releases, and sometimes crewing up to go sail.
Now, the GM events are almost an entire different game than the original POTCO. They have grown into their own lore, story lines, and characters. They have absolutely no relationship to 'being' a pirate.

It's almost as if there are 2 different groups of developers at Disney, and each of them has totally different ideas of where the future of the game is going. One group wants it to be an MMORPG, "BE a pirate, sink the enemy ships, plunder the Caribbean."
The other group wants it to be a dinner mystery theater. (Here's the clues, solve the mystery. Tongiht's episode, "Who killed Captain Walter?" Next week, "Which of the shrouded islands does the Muertos Guild use as a hideout?")

I'm more of a pirate. Others are more into the mystery part. But you CAN be one without being involved in the other.

The next story chapther might be about Elizabeth. Think her FATHER has NOT been found yet. Maybe you have to go find her father. Just a thought and captain walter is a ghost so far because of a duel with Rott.

Maybe that is so, Dog! It sounds right, at least.

Guys,

They never even USED Depp or any of the original cast - except Mr. Gibbs and HIS stuff never has been used!!

I'm not talking about using cinematics, just STORY elements. I'm not daft about budgets folks.

EC

I don't understand... last summer Walt took down ALL THE EITC, MAKES THEM RETREAT, and just 'dies' from a mere sword fight with a dead guy, really? The most important marceline guild member dies in a duel, imo he was set up! Rott vs Walt, Walt could have easily taken him down alone if not in his sleep, but now we'll see if something occurred that stopped Walt from escaping.

if walter is dead then i think it its time to wish him goodbuy with an artwork
