Are PIrate masters gettin the shaft?

[Angel]

OK, the game tells us after the boss battle to "finish mastering your pirate". So those that havent, do. That leaves us at lvl 40, no more notoriety to obtain, weapons still havent been fully mastered, so we slave away, watchin those numbers fly, without watchin our notoriety grow further. Now with the new weapon and "accessories" quests, both giving on avg of 100 notoriety each task, yet still "Mastered" at 40.

My question is, when the game expands, are we capped at 40? Will it open up and those of us that 'Fully Mastered" our pirates have less reps then those that havent? Once they do they should be at 41 or 42 right? Once again we get punished for doing what were told.....

Not to mention the extra health "bug" or whatnot....We gonna be punished on that one too? I mean my lvl 36 pirate is higher than my lvl 40! Thinkin out loud here but I would still like to know and I know I'm not the only one....

This is why I am in no hurry to make level 40. It's like my other game, there is nothing to do after level 100 there. Although it takes ALOT of time to get there. (couple years) I think when the game is updated more they will raise the cap. Being as it only takes alot of people maybe a month or 2 to make level 40... I don't see how anyone would play another chapter if you can't level up.

I think in June, there is supposed to be another update that adds another story chapter, and raise noteriety to 50 and weapons to 30.

Maybe, Good thinking.

[The Commodore]

Just adding my two cents in. I agree that level 40 people are getting shafted. But, when you complete the boss battle and it shows you your stats, notice it says "Current" Notoreity Level Cap: 40. Just my opinion, but I think it will change.

[Buccaneer_Lords]

Sorry Angel. I don't really understand the problem. If you did hot have fun getting to 40 - why do it? Just to say you have a guy at Pirate Master? That is one reason, and a good reason.

This so called "getting the shaft" seems pointless to me. Yes, killing stumps for 40 reps each for hours and hours and totaling 30,000 notoriety to get to that next level is borrringgg. But knowing you have a Pirate Master is worth it, right?

[Davy]

In summer, POTCO is planning on bringing a massive update to POTCO. That probably includes new islands, new NPCs, new ships, even new quests, and probably a raised level cap.

[Chris]

growing on what davy said yes there is supposed to be a MASSIVE update in june with another black pearl type quest coming out more new islands possibly some new weapons, treasure, and teleportation quests and we do expect them to raise noto cap to 50 and all weapon caps to 30

[Twisted]

I'll believe it when I see it.

[Altair]

Wow, you people missed her point completely, what shes saying is: the level 40's who worked hard are being punished for our work.

People who haven't gotten their pirates to 40 have more health than us, and people who start when the new update comes out will have more rep than us. Do you not even see how unfair that is?

I could be level 41 right now, finishing the main quest, plus the weapons quests, but instead, the rep just goes to waist... while other people can actually take advantage of it.

Also, weapons cost cheaper now, so us level 40's once again, waisted money on something that noobs can buy very cheaply.

[Angel]

TY Altair. Like he said, weve reached the "end of the game" persay and what I was wanting to know is:

* Once you hit 40 and no longer gain reps, are the reps you get afterwards stored somewhere and will be added with the new updates?
* Before the cap, Pirates were hittin Notoriety 42, will they revert us to that?
* Will we be givin the notoriety for the weapon/tatt/jewelry quests as well?

Yes I mashed buttons to get my pirate where she is. It jsut urks me to waste it but it was a challange I wanted to do.

[Ironhawk]

I believe the current cap is 45 (I read about it somewhere
maybe dev interview - forgot) but the notoriety meter in game
for pirate masters are not shown but replaced by that title logo.
My pirate is lvl 42 in DXD so i think we still get rep from
the latest quest, boss battle, or unmaxed weapon but
it's just not shown in game.

i have one quick question considering there are a few masters in here, im going to be lvl in a couple of weeks and was wondering if when u hit 40, and u still have weapons to level up can you still get xp for the weapons and it doesnt count towards your overall notoriety (because you obviously cant get any exp). Or can you not gain any experience period once you hit 40?
