Excited and interested, to say the least.
I actually don't mind the idea of having only four weapons at a time because, I ask you, how often does a pirate use their Grenades except when they are grinding them? Staff is sort of the same way since it unlocks so late.
I'm with others in my concern in being how to get the weapons. I always loved the Quest system since it kept all the Pirates on even terms - everyone had an equal chance to get a weapon. Having it done by random drops could be... problematic.
But honestly, that's just first blush thoughts. I'll wait and see how the system develops. Who knows? We might end up liking it.
As for the people who want another Story Quest, in effect, we've been playing one ever since Captain Walter started chasing the EITC ships which begat the invasions and so on. I know it's not the same as Black Pearl Story Quest, but I dunno, when I play the GM events combined with the random quests, I feel like I'm part of a larger story and it actually affects how my Pirate behaves in the game, how he thinks. It's not as clean, but it is more organic.
