Ok, Nelly - this isn't every other game. I for one am glad. I have played dozens of the kind of games you are talking about for years and years. If you like that kind of game go play it. POTCO doesn't need to be another clone of all the other MMORPGs out there. One of the reasons I like it so much is because its not. I don't want to have pages and pages of notes trying to figure what class/armor/weapons/magic items/power up/spells I have to have to make my character successful. Enjoy Guild Wars - been there done that.
As to Sarah's "well thought out and constructed post" (a good post Sarah but based upon no information). We have no idea what the drop rate will be. I agree with Sven it will be much higher(it has to be to make this kind of system function). Most games you end up with a lot of basic items, some magic items, a few unique items and then the very rare - rare items. We have seen one card for one rare sword. All we can figure out from that is that there is a possibility of 3 powers on a rare sword. We know there will be Basic items and Rare items from the article. No idea what if anything that will be inbetween.
I agree with Sarah that the higher the damage the lower rep you get is an issue with the "Attack" bonus on weapons (if they even do this - we don't know yet). But what about the new attack skills and new voodoo powers? The single rare sword card shows us +1 to two cutlass skills and a new type of attack skill. You don't have to use the skills if you don't want to although I would guess the sword itself is a more powerful version that the standard cutlass. (again we don't know). I have nothing to compare the 51 damage to. If someone knows what damage all the weapons to let us know.
Ex8404 - clothing drops are just that rare. I had a full 4 coats when I got the one I have. So you can get them even if your slots are full. Your first reaction was correct - no need to second guess it mate - this is Epic indeed.
I think I am about done posting over here - this is just so frustrating for me. There are some great posters here and I don't mind good discussions but it always seems to degenerate into this - Hey look new stuff - let's tear it apart and show how Disney failed again!!! Wheeeeee!!! This is an awesome acheivement for Disney and I agree with Ex8404 that it's probably the base for more changes. I have stuck it out as I have some great friends here but it just gets old listening to the same pirates as I am sure they are tired of listening to me. This is supposed to be a fan site, where pirates get together and talk about the game they all love to play.
