Pirates Remain Resolute

[The Stealthy Pirate]

At least it is something, no?

[Charles Darkwolf]

I had to log out quickly last night, after seeing that my pirate the Baron had YET AGAIN gone from a level 48 back to 47, and his sailing, cannons go from mastered to 28. PLUS, the hated grenades that was mastered for the second time, go back to the beginning of 29! I figured I better log out or end up saying a few words that would most probably get me banned.

The extra days on the account is nice, but I have no use for the double gold. It would have been much better to have at least 5 days of double rep. As it stands now, I will not be using the Baron anytime soon, I've lost all desire to waste anymore time mastering his weapons for a third time. I figure I'll use one of my fully mastered pirates, and just stand around and not do anything... I think its safer this way for now.

This keeps up, and I don't think I'll waste my $80 when my subscription comes due in the fall!!

I would just like to be able to log in and play without going backwards 3 steps again. Can't log in again tonight???? But thanks for the 21 days and the free loot.

I think this might have been the last reset. They did do a good job informing us and with the latest additions. All you who complain and are mad at Disney, get it in you head thats it's just a game that you play and pay by choice. Also think how you would be feeling if you were on the developers positions. All i can say ATM is thank you Disney fro bringing game back and hopefully they really did upgrade to reduce lag...

[Hookshot]

[Pirate Lord]

I think anyone who has PAID for UA (and to an extent basics as well) have the right to feel and express the frustrations with how things occurred. They paid for a service with the expectation that it would run properly, it didn't & players lost out on their time & effort they put into it. I realize POTCO is now doing their best to rectify that situation but that doesn't mean people who HAVE PAID are not valid in their complaints.

I am not saying players shouldn't be completely passive in their emotions about this but i have heard and seen some cursing and trashing Disney with words. Also, those who paid are also still getting an extra 14 days so they did not lose any paying time in addition that they pay because they want to and not because they are forced.

Aww, i thought when they said (unlimited and basic) it meant both can use it. In this case then it's pointless. Talk to them in live chat or something and give them suggestions.

You are correct in that people have a choice in whether or not to purchase UA access but ONCE that service is PURCHASED I think its a reasonable expectation that service is working properly & within satisfaction. If it isn't then they should be able to voice their dissatisfaction. Your assertion that because the customer chose to pay makes it appear the customer is the one at fault, which is certainly far from the case.

Let me put it this way: You go to the market and pick out a nice juicy Red Delicious Apple from the cart to have for a snack that day. You go up to the counter with the smiling clerk and make your purchase. When you get home and slice it open you discover the inside is mostly brown and rotten—hardly an appetizing snack and certainly not what you expected, right? but as you said you weren't forced to buy an apple heck you didn't even have to pick that particular apple from the cart.

Again, I understand That POTCO is trying to rectify the situation as they see fit, however its up to the individual paying customer to decide whether that paid time is of equal value to the unrecoverable played time.

[SEAKING23]

What POTCO needs to do is give us 5 new codes for a famed and have a triple rep/gold/loot weekend.

[Captain NightWolf]

Yea...while they're trying to make amends, 500 gold really isn't so much...5k would've been better...heck you could spend that 500 just on a shirt...

Likewise for the sword...yea sure it's a 'RARE' sword, but a weak one at best...they could've given a far better sword...

And it's nice that they're letting us know about the rep weekend...that comes up in MARCH while we're still in FEB...maybe a double gold/rep weekend while in FEB would've been more prudent...

But hey, at least they're trying...
