Just gonna go out on a limb and say, no major updates have been added in teh past year. They have added a lot of hype over things such as the Queen Anne's Revenge and Infamy, but they toot their horn a little much. the way I see it the game is dated. The Kraken will probably not be coming around unless they remake the game with a new engine from the ground up, and many people are just struggling to find anything to do, because the game has no true challenges for mastered pirates or pirates who have completed quests and do not care to master. Use your own discretion, but if you ask me they have only moved backwards by adding mini games when they could have added more weapons.

Um, you said no major updates in the past year? I think Raven's Cove quest is a major update, with a new island too. If you think that's not a major update, then what is your definition of one, 5 new islands and private lairs? That would be expecting way too much.

And adding more weapons? They just added over 200 weapons last year, there is a ton of weapons.

So Disney has done a great job in the past year with adding new things, and I recommend you getting unlimited access.

Been over a year since disney added weapons rather than the cursed junk. Honestly Ravens cove is nothing big either. You have a bunch of ghosts flying around that can kill you in one hit, or other ghosts who are nothing special. The addition of these enemies added nothing interesting for me. Pirates downgraded with this move as well because they may believe Foulberto is something people actually think is a challenge. Sure he is fun to fight for the first three times, but you have no need for daggers if you have teh Dagger of the Dark Idol, the Seven Seas Dagger, and the Mercer's blade's/Silver Freeze. Indeed I have been playing, do I think the quest was a good addition? Yes, but it honestly took me about 2 hours to complete on day one. Not saying the whole island is a fail because you can get some powerful weapons there if it's your savvy, but I would prefer sailing to Tormenta.

A whole new island and a quest is a big update, and really big compared to anything else Disney has given us. And besides, no one can ever be happy, if they release something new, after a few months everyone will be bored and be complaining about not getting anything.

Firstly, not everyone goes to Smasho and gets Silver Freeze within the hour .
Plus, can't you wait 1 WHOLE year until you start complaining???? Its been 366 days out, and your already complaining. I'm sick and tired of people complaining about stuff after just a year. Don't get me wrong, I get bored sometimes, but when people complain just a year after an update, it kinda throws me off. They do the best they can, ok? Ok. Now about challenges. If it's too easy, play a "certain way". Instead of using that tonic, try to switch to blunder to win. Before you hop on that war galleon with rank 5 broadsides and and round shot boost +3 with a full crew of infinite rank 7 fury to do a fleet, try to do a fleet with a light sloop. Why loot for a legendary then stop, when you could aim for 'em all? (I know what your thinking, but I mean don't just go " meh, I already have one..." and just complain.

I've always wanted to say that!!!!!

Hehe, you don't realize my style for everything. I use every type of weapon, and still think of ways they could have done better. Muskets would have been a great addition years ago, I asked for them and skeleton enemies on ships you could board way back when. Reason being you used to be able to shoot enemies from across decks. But they simply moved backwards with those enemies, and they spawn in when your crew boards. Not only that, but they disappear into the panels, and there is a huge mess.

What you say about the weapons is true, I would like all of the legendaries, but why have legendaries with horrible abilities if there is nowhere to put them. Sure you can throw away all of your good weapons just to keep the things, but why would you? It all boils down to what abilities you think are not complete bull.

Still I can use my rusty cutlass and wipe out crews on the Queen Anne's Revenge. Do you really think I haven't played it a few more times? It was small, and I feel having Blackbeard on his own ship would make a lick of more since. Not to mention the skins for the zombies look nothing like in the movie, and are also just our PvP clones.

You can butter your cake as much as you want, but I'm trying to save this person some money. You should know well that the updates this past year excluding Ravens have been rather sad. Raven's is saved by Legendary Blades and cursed weapons, but when it boils down to it, Foulberto could have dropped weapons other than daggers, and we all know that a Boss in Tormenta would be much more interesting.

Certain people can say they don't like this game, but when it boils down to it, no other MMO really has as great a set up. Many of them have auto attack, and some only have skill attacks. You also cannot switch weapons during battle in other games. That is the strong point of this game, but if you are a limited person at level 50, this game is fine enough. I am unlimited, but I have always been able to pay out a few spare bucks for any games I still played a bit. I just believe there are a few things they could have done better, and a few things they could readjust to make the game much more interesting for all of the players.
