Ahoy Davy, I was not trying to split hairs. We obviously are each looking for something different in the game. This is an MMO not a consol game. I know you know that but it seems to me that you are playing POTCO to beat it. Once you have mastered/completed the questline you are done with it. That's what you do with single player console games you wait two years for the next one then beat it in 72 hours and wait again for the next version or an expansion.
I am not playing to beat POTCO, I am playing because I love the game and have a blast with all my friends. There are nights our guild just goes to one of the taverns and plays poker just so we can all get together and talk. Other nights we crew up and go fight for hours. That is what an Massive Multiplayer Online (MMO) game is all about. Also to suggest that I am naive is absurd, I understand the industry quite well and Disney will release stuff when it's ready. I have played a ton of these online games and this is one of the best I have played. The GM participation is awesome. I am also sorry you don't like the Role-playing as that too is part of most MMO's. I think its great. Sandra Tew came and joined our guild in one of the invasions the other day and it was a blast. We had fun talking with her and nobody was screaming "Where is the new content". I understand what you are asking for and I am sure it will come. I am sorry you cannot enjoy the game for the game itself. I don't understand that and there is no point arguing about it. You voted by canceling your subscription and that was your choice and that is what get's a companies attention. As for me I see we have a new "filler" event to go kill skeletons. Wonder if it had anything to do with the previous post on the grog blog? I am going to go join my guild and my friends and go play. Sincerely, Captain Whale Edit: Well said Lizzy you and I are on the same page. Cheers and hope things are going better for ya. P) |

Whale: I am not trying to split hairs either, and I apologize if it comes across that way.
That said, I do not play POTCO (or other games) just to "beat it." I play to have fun. I would compare the current state of POTCO to a virtual game of slots (no real money involved). You just sit and do the same thing, and even if you win, you don't gain anything and you go right on doing what you were doing before, still knowing there is no reward. If that is enjoyable to someone, then by all means I encourage said person to continue. But I cannot justify giving my time to something so seemingly pointless. I still log on the game occasionally to touch base with some of my good friends, but there is literally not a single person I care to touch base with that I can't contact by PM here, email, instant messenger, or by other means. When Disney releases new content of substance (namely a new story quest - which I wrongly assumed would come with the level cap increase) I suspect I will renew my subscription and continue pirating. I will take my time on the quests and eventually get to the big 5-0 and I will have a blast with my pirate buddies once again. But until then, the only thing that would have kept me in game - friends - are all too easily contacted out of game for me to warrant spending too much time in the Caribbean. |

Understood mate. I think the main point I was trying to get across is that not eveyone feels the same way about the game that some of you do. Your point is well made and I hope mine has been as well.
Simply put I love all the new stuff they are doing with the game. I think the storyline is evolving and will continue to evolve. The stuff you are looking for is coming I am sure and I look forward to seeing you in game when it does. I am glad you are keeping in contact with your friends, that's awsome. There are several on here that are tired of waiting. The rest of us were discussing what this Grog Blog post might actually mean. There are just as many of us having a great time as those tired of waiting. For the record the Grog Blog was a lead in to the "Kill Skellies" event and maybe more as well. Disney doesn't post without a reason. It may not be clear to you at the moment or it may not be what you want to hear. But there is always a message there. This thread was to discuss what it could be. I would ask that you allow yer fellow pirates to do that. If you want to discuss the second chapter stuff that's fine but I would ask that you open your own thread to do so. That's it for me - I thank you for the discussion Jason Davy and I wish you the best mate. As I stated above I understand what you are saying but I don't agree with it. Yer a good pirate mate and I hope to see you out there someday. Captain Whale OK back on topic.... Dockwrecker and Toanuju22 - There are hundreds of guilds out there all with hundreds of members in each. The post simply listed those who did well at the Strongman competition earlier in the year. Those guilds have been participating in the Events and this was a nod to them for thier achievement in those games. If you want your guild to be recongnised then join the fun mates. Toanuju22 - LOL Disney is not begging guilds to come fight the invasions. I know you have a few bones to pick with them mate but please. The Elite Thieves are always ready to fight an invasion back. We have several friendly guilds that do as well. When that timer comes up we get ready to fight mate. It's a great way to get us all together for a common goal. Captain Whale - What has your guild done today to make this a better game? For you, your friends and your gaming community. Last edited by Zilly; 11-13-2009 at 05:56 PM.. Reason: Trolling |

Because of this, we won't be mentioned in any Disney news letters. I would think that some of the DW members may try the "Kill a Skeleton" contest, but then again, maybe not. I know I won't. I'm actually curious how that contest will keep track of the scores, since DxD hasn't kept up with "enemies defeated" for almost a month now. As a matter of fact, DxD didn't update AT ALL, today!

Aye Basil, I too wondered how they were going to keep track of that as DXD is still not reporting. I am sure they have something in place.

There also seems to be a numbers of those who see lack of content and better days in the past seasons....and those who see now as best ever.It might depend on how long people have played.I remember then POTCO was new to me and full of wonder.It had a certain feeling.There has been a lot of new things in game the last month or two though.It may be people are just getting used to the game.I lost interest once then came back months later and it wasn't quite new but better.But we still all want more good stuff.

Ty Dock for that very to the point opinion. I agree, most of us do just want some new content.

Yes ,once your familiar with something even a new thing may wear off its newness more quickly than if the same thing had come before.Many always looking for expansion.We did get new caves ,but in some ways that was only a visual re-design.But it was new, but still we want that feel we got first week we started sometimes.Its just the nature of the mind.Also one day you might have a blast doing something ,yet the next may get dull.I'm trying to see into those varibles.

Again - we obviously have a diffrerence of opinion on this.
I have been playing quite awhile and my main has completed most of the quests (still need top staff). I do quests when I feel like it, I have no desire to rush. That's not what the game is about for me and a lot of other pirates here. For you to claim "Most" feel this way is ludicrous. I see the same 5 or 6 pirates doing most of the complaining. Like I said we get it - you are tired of waiting - well I am tired of hearing about it. We both have the same right to post here. I like the game just fine as it is and I am enjoying all the new stuff going on. I am having fun mate! Greengene I know when the new level cap came out you were lvl 50/mastered in days. So when the new content comes out and you blaze through that in weeks you will be right back where you are now. Ask yerself why you play the game? I disagree that all your negative posting is healthy for the rest of us. It may help you vent and give a chance for others who feel as you do to do the same. I will give you that. Again, do it in a separate thread so you can all vent together without stamping over the rest of us who are having a good time. The Storyline is advancing - first rumors of ETIC doing stuff in Port Royal. Port Royal is remade then the other 2 cities as well. Then rumors of them doing diggings and we get new cave systems. Rott and his crew provide new quests and as a result we now have Jolly Roger and his invasions. Then there is the all the fun with the Ghosts!! Now the call to reduce thier numbers has gone out and the story will continue. The whole time we have had Grog Blogs and GM events to support all this. I will tell you it is awesome the way the Disney GM's do this. Most online games you are lucky to see a GM let alone have them participate at this level. This is the new storyline and it will continue to evolve until the new quests and weapons open up. You are not going to change my mind and I am not going to change yours. We are both looking for different things out of POTCO. I am sorry that you and the others can't enjoy the game for what it is now. I will continue to play the game and I don't care if the Kraken ever comes. I would love to see it for sure, but it's not why I am here. Cheers to the lot of you. I respect your opinion as I hope you will respect mine. It's just different. I think we have all made our points and should move on. Captain Whales |

Opinions are opinions and we all have one and none are right or wrong. There is no negative posts here, They are just realistic. I feel the same way as JD and Greengene. It seems the game has become more like a "meet and greet " thing with the GM. Invasions are fun and those events might appeal to some, but this is a game. All games have an objective to complete. If the game has no more objectives then the game is done and you start a new pirate. But... What if you have 4 or more pirates with those quests done. What's next? Grind your weapons to mastery. Then what? Just hang out. I can do that outside.
I think you are missing the point Whale. We are waiting not days, not, weeks, Months. We wait months for something new. Remember how long it took for the Pearl Battle? I rather hear them say "We are doing something, but it will take X amount of months to launch it to the Tease (because they rarely listen to testers) Server" than what we are getting which is nothing more than an insult. But hey, at least they are saying something right. I ask this... once the invasions are done because all the guilds diminished the Army of Jolly Roger and the Ghosts go away. What then? |
