Side Effects Of The Last Few Months

[Jibby]

The revive system... I love it and I despise it. I was in a crew with a level 2, and I went to tormenta to level dagger, and help out a friend. She got thrust'd by a Flotsam and died instantly. She got revived... and got Life Drain'd by a Brimescum. Then hacked up by a Kelpbrain. I should've told her she gets a single revive. That seems to work, people become careful. I also never revive on flagships, due to lots of enemies running around attacking, glitches, and the fact that when you swing back to yer ship, you're healed. I also agree with the last part of Davy's post (well, I agree with all of it but I'm pointing out the last bit) because I remember when I took my level 9-ish pirate in his light galleon to Tormenta, and got spanked by a level 33 undead gypsy. I never went back until around level 30, and I was extremely careful. Nowadays, people get killed again and again and again and again. I pay 30 gold for my Miracle Water, and I use it up a lot. I don't want to waste it on some level 4 that will go die the second he's back up.

And now, leveling isn't big like before. The only good part about it for me is the notoriety up, and those are small. The only thing I get a rush from is good loot.... and that almost never comes. With the development of Raven's Cove, I'll probably just train there and try and get some cursed blades. But for what? The thing I need isn't swords, I have a Lost one. But there are so few Daggers and Knives out there, I end up getting the swords anyway. Then I realize it's some lame sword with attack 62 or 55. With a rank two useless skill.

Basically, I only play to finish. And when I do, what happens then? I make a new pirate, master him. Etc etc, then I delete a pirate, make a new one, master. The game just isn't as fun.
