Inventory Expansion & New Weapons! March 18, 2010

[Machazzard]

That got me thinking Hawke. Im not sure that i fully understand that 5 weapon slot thing. Are they saying that each weapon gets a spot or you drop skills into it to add to a single weapon?? I am completely and utterly, confused. Still excited, but confused XD

[Crestshot]

This is completely insane! Except, it's probably in the best way that can be made! I mean...wow. I'm practically speechless. After hearing everyone about how the game needs to be updated and how we want new weapons, I'd definitely say that Disney delivered! I have little doubt that with this new weapons update, they're going to have to raise some stuff. We're going to see some new enemies. With the release of the new weapons, however, I'm not sure if we're going to get Raven's Cove or another new island. I mean, Raven's Cove was essentially a place that Disney needed for the story, and I think that part of the story is gone with the Expedition Fleets.

Sorry, I'm not trying to be negative or anything. This is really incredible. The roll attack is only a small bit of what we're going to get here. I mean, did you see that weapon's belt? Wow. I'm sitting on the edge of my seat until this comes out. Until then, happy plundering mates.

This will affect PvP ENORMOUSLY, considering a mob of people with all different weapons types. You can't just switch weapons to counter them. I wonder, do we finally get the Foil and Double Swords, or do these remain sole property of the French/Spanish?

Furthermore, I'd love to see people helping each other again, like they did in the old days. Maybe now we'll be able to form treasure hunting parties. (Maybe there will even be new guilds made for the purpose of finding and selling rare items)

All I have to say is that this looks like one of the best updates to ever come to this game!!! No longer will I feel like im paying too much

[The Evil Will Mcbain]

I wonder what these will be like for basic members. DTP, I can't imagine us having daggers or grenades, but I think we will get some sweet stuff out of this. We basics are by nature easily satified, lol.

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is just what i wanted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone wanna find them with me????

[Kitfisto]

Just saw this. Once this is finally inplemented, I might consider coming back...

[Crazypirate]

Looks cool cant wait to try it out, and it does seem a mystery that some pirates, myself included with 9 clothes drops between 5 pirates, are more lucky than others when it comes to the rare drops!

[Jamesvsthekraken]

I hope this isnt like the other announcement in the Developers diary last july where it said it was coming very soon and now it was announced again you guys think its gonna be another year or 6 months or will it come in the next week or so? :/

[Sven Osymthe]

I think it will come in the next few weeks.. last time something big like this was announced for the game, they probably encountered problems which stopped it from being released. They wouldn't wait another year, or even 6 months. If there is another error.. it might be a while, but I don't think it will be the case this time.

[Buck Seahawk]

Ok, now THIS is a reason to come back to the game!!!!!!!!!! This looks so awesome I feel like going on the game right now! CHANGING WEAPONS IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS?!?!

[Roman4666]

I cant wait! Please define "drop". Do you mean like killing enemies and then recieving a weapon? Or a dig spot etc.?

exactly that, as far as we know

But this update ISNT great by comparison - for THIS game it is, but after PLAYING several MMO's this feels half-baked. IMO its a group of understaffed, undermotivated, or underpaid designers. Its JUST NOW getting what it should have had some time ago, and yet, its one of the pricier games per month out there. Even as a mastered pirate - I will say, PAY FOR WHAT? Weapon drops on enemies I have no quest to kill, and no reps to gain? Just grind weapons in hopes for drops to sell, to buy more things I dont need or to earn money I have nothing to spend on?

I just think its too little too late, and another band-aid. They NEED a new storyline!!! New enemies!!! New islands!!!

Well said Nelly. I'm a basic access, and we are easily satisfied by nature. Bosses and Expedition Fleets made me happy. You had some great points however. In Runescape they have "Clans" that literally control commerce! It's got more depth to it. But let's face it. This game is about pirates. What do pirates do? WE KILL STUFF! Not much more.

Jack Sparrow- Now where is that monkey? I want to SHOOT something!
Hard to imagine a pirate taking the time to create more weapons to sell. (I think we should be able to smuggle stuff)
