Can you even get to 50?

[swashbuckler II]

Basil, 49-50 Is 65900 rep, unless it changed

[Basil Dreadflint]

TY, Swash. It was a guess. I've updated the post to reflect the actual number.

43 = 47,300
44 = 49,700

Thanks. List updated, and now complete.

Pfft, take your time with grenades once you get them to 20. I finally masterd mine and they're raising the cap...like they planned it that way just to prove I'll never master grenades on any of my pirates

As for getting to Lv.50, they're definitely going to need to increase the Notoriety Points for the quests. I personally think that should make it so that for the next chapter, you get 500/1000 rep for every part of each mission you're assigned. I certainly would prefer that over an excruciatingly long next chapter....

I wouldn't want that for every single task, it would mean 1 of two things. One, story would be SHORT, if we've waited this long for something, it should be a decent length. And two, it would make it too EASY to hit level 50 (given 180,000rep is the guess on how much rep is required after master weapons).

If we kept the next chapter with 100 Notoriety points for each section, that would mean running around 1800 times to NPCs, enemies, etc, to make up for that 180,000 reputation to get to Lv. 50, plus extra reputation for those of us who already have fully mastered Lv. 40 pirates with all the tasks and weapons complete. I understand that not ALL tasks would be only at 100, but I just don't think the consistency can keep with 100 reputation points, and everyone still managing to get to Lv. 50 without drinking an entire barrel of rum to do it with.

Sure, doing that would make the task shorter, but it doesn't necessarily mean that would make it easier. I personally would love to see tasks that are more involved with higher level enemies, and actually FORCE you to train weapons along the way. With the pearl task, I completed it at an early level, went and completed the other tasks easy, and just spent the rest of my time weapons training since I had nothing else left to do.

I want to be occupied, but not for so long that it gets too boring for me to handle. This was why I was against taking away the percentages, because the fact that I saw myself 70% through the task is what got me to complete it. Without the percents, I would have never completed the Pearl task, and I would have been bored a long time since the Pearl task was incredibly easy for me.

Am I the only one that hates questing? I find it the most boring part of the game. 180,000 rep from questing? -_-

I find questing the best part of the game. Adventure, exploration, 'thinking' about what im doing, and where I am going.

PVP and SVS are the worst part of the game from my perspective. Player vs player games are overdone in every game genre, and POTCO's version of it leaves ALOT to be desired.

SvS is the only thing that has kept me playing this game after the long stent of no new content. You can only do the story quest so many times before you just want to throw up.
Ship vs. Ship to me is about team work , interaction with others and the thrill of fury lighting up the skies of the caribbean. The most excitement I have ever got in this game was while I was SvS'ing. I suggest to anyone that hasnt gave SvS a whirl to do so. You will have a blast.

I find SVS ok, just still needs few minor tweaks, one of which, speed, will be fixed by the next update. PVP, due to the ease that you can cheat in it, plus the lack of any real fun I see, is next to useless. I enjoy quests, but quests with new tasks, and none of "earning their trust" by killing 10 enemies only to find out you need to kill more.

[combatlizzy]

As far as the weapons quests...I am presently working on the staff as I mentioned in another thread. I was relieved to kill my quota of Undead gypsies, Executioners, & Raiders. Now enemies to be defeated include Dragoons, Assassins, & Raiders. Had to defeat some flytraps in between...can';t remember right now which kind...but I tried to get my quota of those on Outcast...they didn't work. The quest specifically says El Suderon. So, I have not had the time to be bored...trying to defeat higher & higher level enemies and many times without a healer keeps me quite occupied. And the caves definitely add to the quest. Admittedly my pirate on test isn't Mastered...but the quests seem to be much more challenging IMHO

[Sven Osymthe]

Just adding on to what I said before. If the story quest will always give us a large amount of rep... its gonna be a shorter quest. Yes, a shorter quest at times may seem nice, but given the fact this is the second story quest, one that plenty have been waiting for for a long time... having it shortened would get us back to that point of boredom much, much sooner. I don't mind questing for that much rep, because I don't plan on finishing it in a couple of days. It would give something to do for a few weeks at a time (if not longer).

It might begin to be unbearable, but I can see Disney taking this approach. The first quest was a lengthy one the first go around, but it felt shorter each time you did it after. If Disney were to lengthen this quest even more, it would allow us to have something to keep us busy going in to the next updates (when/if they will come).

speed, will be fixed by the next update.

Speed has already been fixed. Anyone who is speeding now is doing so using something that goes against the policies that they agreed to follow at the beginning of the game. Its now done by a third party system, which means anyone doing it has a high chance of being banned/terminated.

An old thread touched on that question and its listed here:

Level Cap Raise

There are some questions about the number of available reps and the amount needed to get to 50. I don't think there are enough reps even with the possibility of residual reps not used after hitting level 40 and including the Fathers day quest double credits scenario. Any thoughts?

On test I'm a lvl 45 12124/54800 . i have all weapons maxed but cannon and i just got lvl 27 cannon ...there is no way to get to 50 without quests

That's a letdown. The 5 longest levels all by questing?
