What I would like to see...
 

Well, I have been playing the game for well over a year now, and I have seen a great number of people suggest what they would like to see... here are my ideas.

First - The story quest needs to be updated, and while they are at it, they might as well make 2 new chapters.

-Come off of the deal with the Black Pearl being returned to Jack, and try to loosely relate things to the movie. Jack has got the Pearl back, but ut-oh Davey Jones is after Jack. This would result in Jack trying to find the various items in the 2nd movie.

-The Key
-The Chest
-Then a Boss Battle against the Kraken

The Boss Battle against the Kraken would envolve Jack no matter what being eaten by the Kraken.... But you the player and the crew would have to fend it off, and escape the Black Pearl before it gets devoured along with Jack by the Kraken.

Now for this to work to its fullness, there would have to be some new addons to Tormenta, with new enemies based on Davey Jones's crew of mutant looking pirates. These enemies would need to have a few bosses, and the level of these enemies would have to be Lvl 40-50. Possibly even throw in the Flying Dutchman around Tormenta, attacking random ships and chasing them... giving some new sailing skills that can be obtained by avoiding destrution. This would all include raised level caps, keeping level 40 players at Pirate Master status, but from level 40 on you will have to obtain lets say... Level 55, to then become a Pirate Lord.
Instead of adding higher levels on the weapons, add some new weapon types to your arsenal. Just raising the caps on the current weapons is going to do nothing but result in people with fully maxed skills in every thing (making things a little goofy to me). Include maybe an axe, a set of double pistols, a set of double daggers, and a set of double swords. You will either have to choose to carry a single sword, or double sword from Trainer at any point in time. The axe can replace nades,staff,or doll in your weapons you can choose from at that time. Sailing would be the only thing that would have its cap raised at this time... You would still be a sailing master at 25, but beyond that you would be some thing else im sure they could come up with a creative name for it.

Now, segway to chapter 3 from this.....

Jack is stuck in The Locker. You with the help of some new characters in the game must rescue Jack from the Locker. You must obtain the following items...

- A crew and ship (introduce a new ship type here for players to gain, and count it as a new set of levels to obtain using this ship...and dont allow this ship to be used in SvS)
-You must obtain the map from Singapore (Include a new island here, with new side quests, and characters on this island)
- Then you must sail to the place on the map, where you must flip the ship over, and rescue Jack. Doing this would be the Chapter 3 Boss Battle.

I think this should keep players busy for the next year or more..... With new weapon quests for levels, new clothing quests, and new item quests throughtout it all on the sidelines to further occupy your time.

But hey this is just my thoughts on what I want to see. I have no interest in jobs for my pirate, or pets.... I want new tasks to complete, and new stratagies to come up with to overcome more difficult quests. I would however like to see possibly some puzzles within the quest that make you use your brain more than just hacking away at enemies all the time.

Interesting. A good idea, but we are not playing as Jack Sparrow. We are supposed to be fellow pirates. I love the idea about new islands, new quests, The Flying Dutchman, and the Kraken. Flipping your ship over, can't see that unless they come up with new controls (I don't see Big D doing this).
Hopefully they will see this and get their brain juices flowing. I have heard the rumblings that a massive update is in the works. We'll have to see what that has in store for us.

Keep thinking.

I wasnt meaning to play as Jack Sparrow, but helping him. Much as we did in the first Chapter we were helping him the whole time. I wish they would spring a massive update on us soon.... I have heard the same tails, but for now it seems like we will be encountering more "Events" .

According to Disney, there are some major plans for 2009. Aside from what is on Test (new Port Royal, chat, clothing options, etc.) I have no idea what they have in store. I just hope (as we all do) for some major expansions throughout the year.


:mat:

Great ideas....thought through very carefully. But our level 40 would definitely have to be raised with new weapons and more health. Would be exciting...but dangerous for us too!

It sounds awesome! I know I would be kept busy for quite awhile but I am like Lizzy our levels would definitely have to be raised which I am all for because this little level 40 pirate has nothing to do but finish up mastering the rest of her weapons and svsing.

I think the game is meant to be placed between movies 1 and 2--I'm not so onboard with storylines that don't gel with the movies, but it is just a little peev I guess. Now, as for some others:

New weapons: I really don't like this idea, as I think that the current weapons are balanced, reasonable, and, ultimately, within the realm of novelty. That being said, I'm all for new weapons. I think that alternate modes of the weapons would be a great idea, as they'd be able to create quests themselves that have a lasting reward. They could all be carried, and they'd break up monotony without creating any unnecessary form of unbalance.

Puzzle-Quests: Great idea methinks.

I am with you fully League on gel'N with the movies set up. That is what I want to see, I think with the way the 2nd move goes into the 3rd all the things that happen, they could probably get 3-4 maybe even 5 game story chapters with boss battles out of the 2nd and 3rd movie. Beyond that though, I don't know where the game could go. In my mind, I could see the game take a giant change though and possibly for a while people could choose to be part of Davey Jones's crew, and be an entirely different sect of pirates. This would offer new enemies to the cursed pirates, and enemies for the standard pirates that aren't controlled by A-I. This is just stuff I have tossed around in my head that would make the game more of a long term thing. I would say though they will keep it around till the fourth movie is launched and use it as a big source of advertisement. At some point, if the game survives I think it will have to sway from the movie a bit though... but Disney has plenty of ideas to base off of the 2nd and 3rd movies to create new chapters... To quote Ronnie Coleman.. " There's nothin' to it, but to do it..."

Well, obviously, Jolly Roger isn't a force in the movies. He just happens to fit with Jack's character (getting him into perilous troubles where his life and soul and sanity are at stake), and, on a different side, he doesn't really seem too out of wack with the PotC world. Because of that second part, the story really doesn't have to gel with the movies: it just, at least for the sake of a few weenies like me, can't conflict with the movies.

As for some long-lasting content, I've had some ideas in my recently updated thread.

Great ideas...specially new islands would be the best. Ofcourse, we just hoping Big D is working on that. They should also make the quests where you can hear the voices of each of the characters asking for the quests instead of reading (something I dont do at times).
