POTCO Dieing?

[dangerousden]

Considering that this game is only a few months old (live rather than beta) and Warcraft has been around for about 3 years I think you are being a little unfair.

I believe it was 2 years before Blizzard bought out there first proper upgrade to the game (Burning Crusades).

Disney have so far given us some (albeit small) upgrades already. We can now personalise our avatars much more than we could when the games first started. Numerous bugs have been fixed (more still to fix, but some have been done).

We have been promised new weapons on the live server in April. In my country it is still April and still about 2 weeks yet to go. Still time for the new weapons to appear.

This is a new game and being Disney, is aimed more to the younger players.

I have done my Black Pearl Quest, but now spend my time helping out the lower levels in the guild to catch up and then through the final battle. I have not been mad intent on maxing out on my weapons, but I am using more of my lower level weapons when helping my guild members.

I can only say to give it a chance. We are due an upgrade in summer. I look forward to that and hope it is early summer rather than late. Any longer and Disney will lose people.

If you are looking for a mature game with lots to do, go try World of Warcraft. If you wanna be a pirate. Let POTCO mature and then come back.

A few months old? No way, this game has been out since November, there are people that maxed out everything only a few weeks since it came out. A new chapter should have been out a long time ago, and like I said before they say that there will be a new expansion this summer, well summer ends in September, so it could be in August or the beginning of September. It took them 5 months just to open the boss battle back up, and then when it came out it was a huge dissapointment, you'd think if they were working on it that long, there would be a lot of content. I can guarantee you POTC won't be any different a couple years from now, and the reason I know this is because, I've played numerous Disney games and they're all the same, they've even used false advertisements(on TT)

I could go on and on with the complaints but itd be pointless to sit here for 2 hours or so.

I would want to side with DDen on this one. It has been public since November, thats 6 months. Maybe more than a few but still not all that long.

Letdown is apparently a previous Disney customer so he has a different viewpoint.

Judging from what I am seeing in game there are still a lot of new people coming into the game- some free and some paying. If all I saw were Gray tags I would think that there's a problem. So new people are coming in.

That being said I'm not seeing a huge amount of high level players. Whether they're hiding in PvP (which I don't care for) or not playing at the times I am on or stopped playing, I can't say. It's probably a mix of all three.

I went pretty quickly through the ranks and was a bit disappointed with the boss battle. Then I started leveling weapons and I run hot and cold on that too. But then I got more involved with some guilds and working more of the social aspect of the game. It is fun to help a low level character once in a while or help a guildmate on a quest or level their weapons.

There are some new quests coming (the weapons) which if taken a little more slowly should hold most people over until the big release happens this summer (which technically ends Sept 21). Also if the double rep weekend worked out well numbers wise, they might offer that again too. I just hope the hours are more accommodating the next time.

There are certainly things that can be done better, but it's not all bad.

If you are unhappy, I would suggest suspending your paid account and log on as a free member from time to time to keep up with what's going on. If after the summer you're still not happy you can quit.

But to bail out now seems a bit early. I plan on at least giving it a year before giving up on it. And if all you want to do is complain and troll the boards, I would ask that you don't. (The Mods might have a different take on that last one)

My $0.02, your mileage may vary.

Umm... bs much? For any game to have the amount of stuff this one has having been out for only 6 months is kind of nuts. The people who "maxed out everything only a few weeks since it came out" either have no life or... have no life. They will probably update, but I want to see all of these random glitches out before we put in more (bugged) game updates.
