I love a good rant, but I think he may have been hinting at the new ability of basics to purchase clothing from the OLD merchants.

On test, basic pirates can buy all clothing now. Not just from the new merchants, but also from the old merchants. On test, basic pirates can purchase ANY crude clothing in any of the bland colors (no brights, darks nor blacks.) No more basics forced to run around in diapers.



There is no explicit warning when you buy an item you can't wear, but those items do say "Unlimited Access Only" in the item description panel thing.

The new merchant system obviously took a lot of effort, but it sure could give better visuals when a purchase is completed. The original (old old old old original) merchant system showed what you had, a lot better. Buying 2 tonics shouldn't take 5 minutes of clicking around to see which one you missed...how about a "give me max of all tonics" button? Or a "repair all ships now dang it" button.

Even better would be a "one-click" button somewhere to buy maximum tonics, remedies, holy waters, elixirs, miracle waters, venom shot, bane shot, hex eater shot, silver shot, steel shot, asp, adder, sidewinder, viper's nest, stink pot, firebombs, smoke bombs, siege charges, chain shot, grape shot, firebrand, thunderbolt, explosive, fury AND repair all ships. Running around for ammo is interesting when you are new, but is a really annoying chore after a few thousand times. Maybe have that button appear only when you have over 120k gold?

so are there crude coats now?

[James Bladefury]

Well that statement from disney is actually correct! If you guys remember, the pants for the treasure hunter outfit were crude. So dont tell me basics dont get to buy something.

[Tiberius Fireskull]

It was? Hmm, my bad. I haven't gone on test for a while. Forgive my mistake. :P

[James Bladefury]

I will post the screen when I find it!

[pieisbetter2]

Yup, the sack shorts r crude. just checked the wiki

EDIT: Turns out the shorts are only crude for the male outfit, the female outfit stuff is rare or common.

[James Bladefury]

whats taking so long for it to come out??

[Captain Jason]

Nothing, there weren't even any severe bugs when the released it on test the first day.

[Davy_Mcwrecker]

no idea i bet cha its the fact that by christmas we wll have the clothes for deember 2015

[Dog Firestack]

There are a few bugs like the images on the skill page aren't working correctly. I've also heard about people crashing when purchasing items.

[SEAKING23]

i think they're making new outfits, and maybe next week they shall come.

[MacIronhawk]

Well, about every other day they've been updating the new clothing. Right now you can view and buy April 2011's clothing. It's amazing by the way; I should know, I bought them.

Honestly, I don't understand why they're doing it monthly. It's a great scheme to keep people playing the game, because you'll have them be excited about what's next but... come on, that's too long of a wait for some people. Why not two sets of clothing a month instead of one? I sound really greedy right now, don't I?
