What is your opinion on Potco?

I honestly think that the second chapter was supposed to be out by now. I think that the end boss was supposed to be the Kraken. I also think that, for whatever reason, the Kraken didn't work and they have been back pedaling all year long.

That is why we have little quests like Casa del Muerto and also the Invasions. Jolly Roger is here because it works. These things combined with everything else help lay the groundwork for the NEW second chapter. So the rewrite has begun, the new chapter will be here when it gets here and this pirate is still bored.

I will make a prediction. There will be no Kraken. I am sick to death of the all "Kraken" talk so I imagine the poor developers are a million times sicker of the thing. I have never pinned my hopes and dreams a big, dumb, smelly squid-thing in the first place. If the squid DOES show up? It will be as a final boss of the new chapter...

Humbly submitted, ex8404.

I think you're right, ex8404.

I find it odd that they worked on the Kraken, even showed us a grey model of it, and it hasn't been out yet.

They're probably having trouble with the AI. The Kraken needs to be able to grab us without us having to stand in a certain spot on a ship. It needs to be able to move its' tentacles 360 so that it can grab pirates from any area on the ship, and of course missing a pirate every now and then.

If you think about it, the Kraken being a boss battle is extremely complicated. It's most likely going to be the boss battle at the end of a story quest, but what will go into the battle is more complicated than any other thing in the game now.

I find it amazing the developers haven't posted something like, "The Kraken itself is done, but complications have occured that we need to fix before we can work on a Kraken battle." Even if they aren't working on a battle right now, I'm surprised he hasn't come out yet when pirates of him were posted on the POTCO site.

It just seems too weird for him to not be out yet. Well, all we can do is wait... hopefully the developers aren't having too much trouble, because they need to hurry.

Like I've said, if they don't get something huge out before the summer, they're going to lose a lot of players.
