Dangerous Daggers
July 28, 2010
Rumors are running rampant that some very lethal daggers may have arrived in the islands. Pirates have been overheard in the taverns whispering that these mythical weapons once belonged to an infamous band of assassins from the "Abu Nar Clan" in the Near East. No one knows for sure. But this we do know -- daggers have long been the weapons of choice for assassins because they're silent, easily thrown, and small enough to hide in your clothes. If these dangerous, deadly, daggers have made their way to the Caribbean, what would you give to get your hands on one?

This is leading up to new islands......

Dude, totally.....

The near east, huh? Sounds like fun.

I'd KILL for a new, shiny dagger!

...Literally....

I'd KILL if Disney would stop putting up stall news and update test already.

"Abu Nar Clan" hmmmm new island....... I hope it like might be like a "MAIN" island not like Out Cast or the noob islands. im tired of them just adding islands like the SVS islands i want a MAIN island

In the East... Probably the reason why Kingshead has those new buildings. It is either going to become a teleport point for us pirates or something. I am guessing that the newest island will be just a bit off of Kings, but I knew daggers were coming already.... They should have had something like the Vipers Dagger already for unlimited vipers...

Hooray! I am going out to search for one right now! I will post pics of all I find!

This seems all too obvious..... I bet next they're gonna be creating new staffs...

"Are they real... Or Rumor?" on the main screen leads me to believe that they aren't out yet. Can't wait though :)

WHAT THE HECK??? Who in the world is Abu Nar or something... interesting!! Even though it does sound crazy!

are they on open or test??

They're aren't anywhere at the moment, mates - this is just a spoiler of things to come. We'll know when the daggers hit Test when they give us Release Notes as proof.

P.S. My guess is tomorrow, seeing as usually Thursday is update day, it will hit Test.

This update should be HUGE! ..... Well, pretty big haha. Fishing (dont care that much about, but should be fun), NEW ISLANDS!!! errr.... island ( no s :( ), and now some daggers!!! Sweeet!!!

I feel like they're holding out on staffs for something nice and voodoo related. Something that involves Sandra Tew and Tia Dalma that goes along with Disney's love of role playing.

Can't wait for all of this, and im crossing my fingers about what Del said:

Hint hint, last Thursday is when they announced Unlimited Access weekend. And according to The Pirate Of Wisdom (Dog Firestack, hehe) Thursday are indeed update days. Fingers crossed!

This might mean that soon El Patron's Lost Sword will not be the only Legendary weapon in-game anymore. That reminds me, I need to work on levling up my dagger.

Yea, it would be nice to have more than one legendary weapon. And good lord, i am crossing my fingers along with everyone else, hoping that the update will come tomorrow.

Abu Nar Clan Assassin Daggers... Has a nice ring, eh?
The update is probably tomorrow. Maybe we will have a legendary dagger! :D
Then a legendary blunderbuss, musket, bayonet, pistol, sabre, broadsword, cannon ram, sea globe, etc... *sigh*

WHY WONT DISNEY JUST MAKE A NEW STORY CHAPTER! D':
Instead of teaser updates like this...

New Daggers!! :D You know what comes after Daggers? Voodoo Staffs! Unless of course, they decide to give us those Golden Grenades we've been asking for :p.

My friend said this guy found two new daggers, one was common, and the other was rare. He didn't tell me what the common dagger was called, but he did tell me the rare one was called a Golden Dagger. Can this be the start of the deadly daggers?

I don't think they've added them yet.. there hasn't been an update.

Yeah, they haven't released them yet. If they did then we would've seen it in the released notes or Disney would've mentioned it being in test in the news article. What they're doing right now is throwing us a bone just to make our mouths water.

IF these are just weapon drops, then they don't have to release anything to test or even give an update. They just shorten the swords, give them a new name, and call them daggers.

They may already be out there in some small quantities.

I refer back to a (Almost) 2 year old post: What good are 'new', more powerful weapons, if there isn't anything to use them on? For those still levelling, a more powerful weapon will slow down your levelling because you do more damage and get less rep. For those who are high level, there is nothing to use the new weapon on.

Disney has turned the game into nothing more than, "see who can be the first to get a full collection of worthless junk." NOTHING they have added to the game this year, or even last year, has added to the game experience. Most of the new stuff has actually detracted from the game. What used to be a game that involved groups working together to achieve a goal, has turned into every person playing alone. Potions = playing solo. Fishing = playing solo.

Until there are new QUESTS, and a major storyline, everything they put in the game is just so much fluff.

This is just sad. Disney tantalizes us with talk of the Kraken, new story-lines, and so forth. And still nothing more than a few aesthetic changes to the game. This is a classic technique. They deprive you to a point that you'll take anything, even if you do complain a little, with just enough content to keep you hanging. By the time they come out with something, it's already obsolete. They never give out their best, or they'd lose their customers.

I will smack a punk if we get an Undead Assassin that looks like a Bandit. Although, I could see that as being a level 40 Undead enemy... All I can say is this island better be more than a PvP Island which took me two minutes to explore. I'm looking for something that takes at least 4 or 5 minutes...

New daggers? Big whoop. BTW didn't the new dolls just go live right off? Even the new island isn't really a big deal (if it comes at all) if there's no quests attached with it. Little thought. Yeah, we could use a new island. Preferably a high level island. With some nice big level 60 enemies! My 43 can take a 50 thrall no prob. We need some more high level islands, and yes, a main island would be very nice indeed. Still, it's all just guessing and wishful thinking till it goes live. (Or doesn't)

*Thinks about the reconstructed Padres Del Fuego*

I'm betting that if we do get an Undead Assassin, it would look like an Undead Gravedigger, since that seems to be the most popular model POTCO uses. "Oh look, a Gypsey, it looks like a Gravedigger. A Brute, it looks like a Gravedigger. A Witchdoctor, it looks like a Gravedigger, etc." *end of rant*

As for the Island's area/s, if it's a jungle, I hope it's unique and not the same generic layout like all of the other jungles. Going through the jungles gets repetitive after a while.

No, they were on Test for about a week. They weren't brought to Live until that event (which was pointless) was announced.

Speaking of fluff, would snow-filled Christmas themed towns with a Jack Sparrow snowman be considered as a good update?

Not a chance, we don't look for scenery on current islands, we look for new islands that have deadly enemies on them.

There are more weapons in the game than you already know. They're just unobtainable at the moment (I think).

Complete List of Released and Unreleased Weapons and Sea Items

Hoping that they update Test later than normal, otherwise we have tomorrow night, and then we wait for much longer...

Not an update in sight, no updates whatsoever soooo, hopefully just hopefully tonight, if not, we're waitin another week and i'll be as angry as a rhino.

East probably refers to the Middle East of out planet (Arabia, etc.) which explains the name "Abu Nar Clan". Perhaps they will play a future role in introducing scimitars to the game?. But this has got me thinking that PotCo is being converted into Assassin's Creed or Prince of Persia LOL.

At least Assassin's Creed and Prince of Persia are good games... if they start taking weapons, I would probably be happy.

Well, Not every update that hit test came out on a thursday. The updates always come out during the weekdays, never on weekends.

It just doesn't make sense. Why give us middle east weapons when it is on the other side of the world? The only way I see this is the navy are trading and (If I'm right) the new island would be a navy island....

I'm crossing my fingers too that the new island will come tonight with the update. I mean if they said "Coming Soon" :" Catch Exotic Fish" and "Explore an all new mysterious island" like they did in that Newsletter/Code thingy wouldn't the new island have to come with fishing? :) Just like Ship Repair came with Potions? All in all I really hope more than anything that the new island comes tonight. :)

I'm thinking that the updates that hit Test will go Daggers, then Fishing, then Island(s), although I see a possibility of Fishing and the new island coming together. Of course, them going together is improbable - Disney usually prefers to promote one update at a time. If they released them at the same time - well, think about it. Would you rather go sit on a dock and fish, or sail off to explore a new, mysterious island?

Just possibilities.

i think that the daggers will come along with fishing, and the new island(s) will come by itself

My guess is that they will release daggers and fishing the same day on test, like they did with potions and ship repair!

Yeah but remember they just brought up the "new" daggers today, and they talked about Fishing and the New Island together so obviously they would have to be next. Since they didnt say "Coming Soon..." for the daggers. Honestly, why can't we just see a new island and fishing right now. I mean I know everyone wants more "new weapons" but a new island gives us more "ground" to cover.

As for the shortened swords comment. When the new swords came out there were new weapon abilities.

I will suspect that there will be NEW dagger abilities as well as dagger versions of other weapon special abilities.

ALSO - food for thought. I was watching my son play on Kingshead where the dust cloud is. Remember what they said about the NEW island? Shrouded in fog...

The new island will have the same dirty air or foggy appearance to make it harder to see and to help hide the enemies. I will gladly stake my gold pouch on that.

Golden Grenades?
 

Don't you mean the 'Holy Handgrenade of Antioch'?

:sign0101:

One, two, five!
Three sir!
THREE!


ROFL!

Back to your regularly scheduled thread...

:D LOL Sarah :D

So, a dagger from the Middle East and a aztec lost sword.... Sometimes I wonder who runs POTCO :P

Still... no new update... so im guessing saturday?

nah, they almost never come out with updates on the weekends

i wonder if this new clan will come to the caribbean for GM events....

Chances are there will be a GM event for this.

i'd like to see their clothes, then!

i jusr want an update!! is that too much to ask??

Maybe if we seen some Clothing names we could see if there are clothes from the Middle East...

GMs also do like to see what's new in game and experiment on it with other pirates, so that is a very high possibility.

Seeing as Fishing was announced sooner and new daggers were just announced yesterday, I'm thinking that they will bring in Fishing, then new islands, then bring in new weapons with the new islands, but that's just the way I am viewing it.

i think fishing and the new weapons are soon, but the island will take a while. (they need to make NEW caves and forests and enemies!)

What is going on here?
 

I think it will be the new island and fishing together as the next update to the test game, and then the daggers seeing as they have talked about the new island and fishing more than once. ;) :) and Why is there still not an update on Test?! -_- -.- Honestly why do they keep "waiting" to release stuff, it's the last week of the month after all.:bookishfj7::piratewheelgo2:

So much for the updates today.

Give them time, they can still do it overnight.

I'm really just hoping I can see the new updates before I hit school the week after next...

Famed Daggers I'm guessing is coming. lololol Abu, isnt that the name of the monkey in Aladdin???

Yup, LOL! Guess Disney is just running out of names...

Why is all the good stuff coming from other places? Our home, the Caribbean, was only home to a Pirate Blade, Grenades, Coltello, Potatohead Staff, Witch Doll and a Grand Pistol? While all the other stuff - which was really good - came from miles away? That says something....

I think these Daggers will be fun to use - they'll be better than the War Dagger I've had rusting in my backpack for a while...
I can't wait :D

Look's like sadly we gotta wait yet another weekend you guys -_- -.-:bookishfj7::piratewheelgo2:
