Emerald Green Seas? Is It a Sign? - March 2, 2010

[Captain Whale]

Let's just say we disagree on what the D developers have delivered. I am sure that the pirates that have joined the game in the last year were happy to play the Valentine's day quest and now get to see all the St. Patricks day stuff.

I missed the Valentine's day quest last year as I was out of town so it was nice to get to do it this year. I didn't do much with the Green stuff last year either and will probably pick up a tatoo and some green hair on one of my pirates. Sure it would be nice if they would tweek it some to make each year a little different.

What I don't understand is your statement that since the game started there has been nothing new. The 2nd year anniverary was back on Oct. 31st 2009 btw. I know you are frustrated because what you yourself want to see has not arrived. Enjoy Guild Wars I guess until that happens. I for one am loving the advancement of the storyline. I am very excited to see what form Raven's Cove will come in. I have my own ideas of what I would like to see but I won't let that stop me from enjoying the why D presents it.

This may be the way they roll out new content from now on. There may not be a second chapter, this may be it. Short term quests to advance the story and then some kind of events like the Invasions and the Expedition Fleet. In this way they advance the Lore and give us new stuff to do all the time.

What advancement of storyline? There has only been one storyline quest since the game was released, and there's no news about the second storyline quest.

Storyline is NOT little things Disney throws in because they won't get their act together and make new things. These are distractions. How do we know Raven Cove has any envolement in the second story quest? How do we know it's not the Kraken, Jolly Roger's Invasions, or something else?

To make a story quest about all the things people have said the storyline is about is silly. Why would one story quest focus around invasions, an EITC fleet, and the Kraken? At least the first one was set in stone what our quest was, not mixed around all over the place.

I for one am not crossing my fingers. I'm waiting until the release something. I have hope for the game, but it's really sad what they're doing. Even toontown has announced new things they plan on releasing, and they took two years to release BBHQ. While that was a long drag that us players hated, when it was released, it could literally take players months on end to finish, even a year. These story quests can take less than weeks to finish them if you're addicted.

What they need to do is take the content they have, and make it "drag on" so that we're at least busy, and not bored for a year until the second story quest comes out.

I know I've rambled on, but I'm getting tired of waiting. It's been a year an 1/4, and if they don't release the second story quest before summer, when my subscription ends, that's it for a long time. No need to keep on paying for a game where the developers refuse to release a new story quest.

I think a triple or quad sized second story chapter with new ideas and content mixed in would be an instant success,but then I think I might be dreaming unless someone an Pm that to D.However that Dungeon or Sieging Disney asked about in that poll could really make his a 'sizable' game.
Here is a quote of someting I only posted several minutes ago,this might be the reason Disney is as slow as they are at giving out content,I wonder really how big their staff is,there has been evidence in the past it's much of the same crew working all the Disney MMOs.

I think many people are right,Disney seems to launch new content slower than many MMOs,perhaps it's becasue Disney is a Film and Television company,not a gaming centered one.Who knows the size of their staff,I suggest someone interviews POTCO staff in a long to run relationship sometime,I've seen it done with another forum and a large European based company known to some as TLC,they were not a sole gaming company either....

It's A Film comapany running a game division,which is running 4 or 5 MMOs now,perhaps I am wrong but is that uncommon?Perhaps Disney are making the best of what they can.Perhaps they can't compete or perhaps we have thought too poorly of Disney,after all: they are people ,we all are.

(Note:I am with Mac very much when it comes to the gentle topic of graphics,they may to watch their step as they develop this game.)
