Inventory Expansion & New Weapons! March 18, 2010

"If you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to ask for a glass of milk..."

I know some of you are frustrated with Disney's (seeming) lack of progress on POTCO. And now that we are set to to receive a HUGE change in the way things are done, some of us have nothing but questions or complaints. The questions I get. The complaints? I really don't get that.

Just so that I am not branded a hypocrite, I have complained about the lack of a new story line. But as an eternal optimist, I have to believe that EVERYTHING up to this point has been in order to set up the new Chapter.

For almost two years I have heard and read about how we all want "More Weapons", "More Closet Space", "The Ability to trade" and so on. Disney said, "Fine. Here it is." We say, "I want a glass of milk..."

It is possible that a new story line is complex enough to require this much storage space. We can only hope. And wait. But this is cool and I want to start looking for weapons.

If you made a mad rush to Master everything, then don't complain. You did what you set out to do. It is not Disney's fault that more powerful weapons are of no use to you. I, for one, look forward to it.

Then, I'm only going to be allowed to carry 4 of them?

Your frustration is evident and, maybe, well deserved but make up your mind. You want realism or not? 24 outfits is not realistically piratey enough. But we still want the ability to carry a sword, a 3-shot flintlock pistol and 500+ rounds of ammo, a dagger and about 400 throwing knives, somewhere around 500 homemade grenades and a Voodoo doll and a Voodoo staff?!?!? Do we really get to pick and choose our realism?

How about a real pirate game. Live a terrible life, and die young, usually at the hands of the Navy. The EITC would be just a shipping company that uses crew who have jumped ship or could not cut it in the British Navy. Their seamanship would be scorned by the "real" sailors of the Navy.

You would only really use fast sloops and hug the coastlines and you would be lucky if the entire crew had 500 rounds of ammo. And everyone would smell terrible. Throwing knives? Voodoo Dolls? Where is the realism there?

I like the changes. If they lead to nothing then I will be disappointed.

BUT I AM GOING TO WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE RELEASED BEFORE I COMPLAIN ABOUT THEM!

Until then, Semper Fidelis.
