I've kept the same type of shirts on toontown since 2003 and I'm not bored.

However, it's taking them TOO long to come out with a second story quest. The longest it took toontown to release a cog HQ was two years, and that was bossbot HQ. I can understand that, because they were working on other things that would help affect gameplay.

POTCO may be doing the same right now, but I think we're all upset that they rushed to be out before POTBS.(burning sea online) They DIDN'T need to do that, but their logic was, "Oh, more money!" If they would have waited a year, we'd probably see the things we see now, and it would be more fun, but it's not because they rushed.

These redone islands, caves, etc... should have been here from the start, not a year and a half later. Toontown has redone nothing, and it's kept the game clean. I guess it's because they don't have to compete against another game as far as theme goes.

All I'm saying is, if POTCO doesn't release something gianormous within the next four months, they've shown us what they can do. And that's not much...

I agree Mac. The content releases (timing and the content itself) have just not been up to par.

And Eliza, thanks for the friendly suggestion, however, I can assure you my frustration is just as legitimate as your contentment so I think I'll keep "groaning" until D shows they can put out some quality content.

Aye, i completely Agree with you Mac and that is pretty much my point for the past year, its basically been delete all the old stuff and bring redone stuff in there i don't see that as "new content" that "we" (the players) wanted now correct me if im wrong here but its just been get a broom and clean up for the past year with Disney nothing has come that we actually want besides seeing JR in game. like i said earlier the clock is ticking and all eyes are on Disney for making us something "cool" and worth playing for. Raising the caps and raising the weapons i see are fun yes, but what do you do when you get to level 50 wait another two years for them to release another level cap raise or what?

CarribeanThunder · #19 12-02-2009, 01:03 AM

Well, James, as you might be aware, there is the broken cap, so you won't "technically" master your pirate. You will still be able to go beyond Lv50 ( Lv56, etc. ). Disney is obviously still at work on this, and polishing the Test updates ( they fixed the Boots and Crashes, but there's still more to fix ).

Anyway, this GM event sounds great. I'll be sure to check it out.

Aaron McEagle · #20 12-02-2009, 01:04 AM

Not that this goes with your topic or all but..
Port Royal invasion are back again...
Did they go away??

Tom Sharkwash · #21 12-02-2009, 02:57 AM

What servers are the GM's going to be on?

Captain Del · #22 12-02-2009, 02:59 AM

They haven't stated so, but its obvious they are going to hit Abassa AT LEAST once a day. Other than that, it might be a few other A servers, as well as the occassional other Ideal server.

I would hate to have seen invasions take place on the old Port Royal and Tortuga. It seems pretty obvious that they redid Port Royal, Tortuga and Del Fuego so that they could limit sight distances and turn off stuff you couldn't see like buildings, crates, and other things on the other sides of walls. You can see this easy by climbing up the repair shop steps in Port Royal, or by glitching through walls in a lot of places where half the world disappears. With the performance boost that those changes got us we now get cool stuff like the invasions. Yes, the invasions are crazy laggy and can sometimes chug, but that's because of all the people and undead there... imagine if the town itself was also adding to that lagg!!
The recent test notes seem to have a lot of changes with ships and sailing so I wonder if we're going to see more happening on the ocean soon?

Oh, and I can't wait for the cave raids, this looks like fun! I wonder if they're going to have skeleton GMs leading the undead?

Rosa_ESG · #24 12-02-2009, 12:37 PM

Great news, I for one am trying to get to these events, I hope to see many friendly pirates there.

Capt C Ray · #25 12-02-2009, 05:49 PM

You can count on seeing this friendly face at the Cave Raids with the GM's Rosa

I for one have been playing for almost 2 years now and have not gotten bored yet. Might be because I still dont have a mastered pirate, but then I dont play 8 hrs a day or when i'm on do nothing but lvl.
I have seen plenty of new content and waiting for more to come. I feel everything that big D has done is for a reason. One thing for sure, game play has gotten better.

Jeanne Stormcutter · #26 12-02-2009, 09:19 PM

Wow, another GM event right after last week? This is amazing! Go Disney!

Ooh i can't wait, it is always so fun to interact with them

You get to know all the juicy gossip, lol! And since i
have everything always screened i can just go back into the past moments and laugh about everything again,
some moments are just too funny to be forgotten!

I'm hoping to see many excited pirates there as well, i'm sure something will come up.. Some nice clues perhaps?
News about Jolly Roger's movements? Hopefully something mysterious, it is always fun to guess what the Disney
has in store for us!

No server told...? Hmm, i guess it's time to hop again, haha!

Raven Night · #27 12-03-2009, 03:06 AM

I am personally not enthused, but I am sure there will be those that will enjoy it, which is a good thing.

I am just disappointed that such a great sea battle mechanic is wrapped in such a horrible game. Perhaps one day the ground game will catch up to the fun of the ship game, but looking at how things are now a year after I left im not holding out hope for any real meaningful change in the short term.

ex8404 · #28 12-03-2009, 04:07 AM

What is the ratio of active players online to the number of people who actually get to participate in these GM events?

I think they're fine and all but I have never even had the chance to be close to one. And I have been playing for almost 2 years now...Oh well. I'll wait until someone posts some screen shots...

Raven Night · #29 12-03-2009, 08:31 AM

Well, this event looks more interesting then the last...though the last one did provide a really good "tonic" so to speak it was pretty limited. This one seems more involved.

Captain Whale · #30 12-03-2009, 01:35 PM

Ahoy ex8404, this one is scheduled mate. Should be able to find at least one by hopping across the A servers. The Elite Thieves will do a shotgun approach and hit several servers until we find one. We did the same thing with the bonfire ones and that worked pretty well. Once we find one we just call it out in guild chat. Those who are interested can come a runnin then.

Also these events do not occur on Test for those who don't know.
