Expansions in game and raids?

[Dog Firestack]

I don't have time to elaborate, sorry if this sounds vague but:

Do you think the game should have specific areas that you can ONLY enter when you reach a certian level or a certain point in the story quest? Like you can only enter Isla Cruces when you are at Story Chapter 3: The Rise of Davy Jones. ( Made up.) I'm wondering what you think, and you have to be certain levels in game to reach certain areas.

Also, raids on certain areas that you have to defeat all enemies without dying. KO doesn't work and you have to defeat the boss enemy as well and you get a special item, such as a weapon, or an item to enhance your weapon.

Give me your ideas, I'll get back to you.

[finn]

wow i love the ideas nice job

[Jamesvsthekraken]

I like the idea, but can you have help with the raid's such as people healing you?

[Crestshot]

On the first idea, I thought that was Raven's Cove mines... I mean, I know people can still TP in and such, but still.

On the second idea, I think that sounds amazing for a boss battle or something. Or perhaps a lookout task. But of course, if it were a lookout task, you'd either get the same rare weapon over and over or you could amass many rare/famed/whatever weapons very easily. - shrug - Good ideas, but you're right, they're vague.

[Chimera Doll]

Just wanted to say that you have a really, really good idea. I like it!

[Dog Firestack]

Here's an example of a raid. Of course, this will go up to level 60 caps, because level 40 is WAYYYY to small. Please take note that you can heal others, unless it goes against the limits, and that knock outs do not work, you are auto sent to jail at zero health. Also, please take note that the high health that these enemies have will offer great rewards and challenges to pirates. Any comrades that die can not return. Weapon skills are at 50 max.

That's pretty much what I meant by the cave raids. I'll put in the expansions I'm talking about either today or tomorrow.

[Midhav]

Interesting. Nice ideas you have. And this is based on the "Raids" option in the Opinion Polls of the end of 2009? But I'd have to disagree on dragons. Maybe they could be called that, but they should be a different mythical creature based in the Caribbean.... Like some huge sea serpent? And having Undead Samurais... lol.... strange (knowing of course that this is just an example). I'd like Undead Sorcerors (summoning spirits), Alchemists (using potions, magic and chemistry), Grenadiers, Hand-cannoneers, Mages and Shamans (staves), etc. in the game. Nice though.

[Ancient Mariner]

I like the idea of some areas being open to only high level pirates and having some really high level enemies in there. That would be nice if Disney did more stuff like that in the future. Kind of like Ravens Cove I guess.

The enemies should have been higher and way more of them on Ravens Cove but it's a start.

[Dog Firestack]

Here's my idea of what I meant by expansions:

Story Quest for background lore so you know what I'm thinking about.

Story Quest 3: The Great Awakening

Lore: Pirates have told tales for countless decades, spinning yarn with friends and even foes. The legends be far from the truth in the Caribbean, but then again nothing in the Caribbean is put as "normal."

As Jolly Roger's grip on the Caribbean is weakening, all hopes of him being repelled far enough from the Caribbean are now demolished. Jolly Roger have revived the one beasts powerful enough to aid him in his quest, he has revived the spirits of the dragons. What are dragons? - Legend has it that all of the Caribbean was once ruled by the dragons, each one inhabiting the islands and calling it home. That is until one fateful day a pirate had docked onto one of those islands. When he saw the dragon, he fired straight at the head, instant killing it. From that day the dragons have retreated to their one home, the Isle Of Dragons. Now, Jolly Roger has found this isle, but not only that, he has recreated and revived these mass weapons of destruction for himself, to rule the Caribbean and have all of us become his eternal slaves in his army. Jolly Roger's rule of the Caribbean is becoming stronger at the second, as each invasion begins to bring more and more dragons, the pirates are beginning to fall back more and more each time. If the dragons are Jolly Roger's key in this battle, then the only way to repel Jolly Roger, is to destroy the dragons......

The legend goes is that the King Dragon Oscareon ruled all of the dragons. He could control all of the elements, and use them in deadly ways. The reason why he ruled was simple, you either listen, or you die. Oscareon is located at the center of the Isle of Dragons. The other four islands are other islands where dragons inhabit, gaining power and strength and making the island become their stronghold. The four other islands are, Island of Sorrows, Dragons' Den,Kashtorac's Stronghold, and the dreaded Land of the Apocalypse. Each island is said to have to be taken by the one user, in order to be able to gain access to the foggy island of Oscareon's Lair. No pirate has ever journeyed there, and returned. But now as Jolly Roger becomes stronger and stronger, more and more pirates are tring to become the one hero, the one legend, to save the Caribbean.

[Dog Firestack]

I'd like to revive this old thread, and see more opinions.

[leo]

Dog your full of ideas mate, but remember many of those ideas seem to similar to world of war craft in my opinion, sometimes a game needs realism and not just fictional events. If the ideas above are to be added to this game even if players like them, even if they are good ideas, PIRATES ONLINE WOULD LOSE ITS MEANING.
I do think that game needs more events that players can group together to do something but without changing or making game into something it shouldn't be. So far we got pvp and privateering and players are experiencing bugs in those two which should be fixed by now.

[Machazzard]

Well, I for one play MMORPGs (massively multiplayer online ROLE PLAYING games) to leave my world and go into a universe not my own, not caring in the slightest of how realistic it is. Everything in Pirates is fictional so I'm not sure where you're getting at leo. I mean we have magic powers and curses, but we can't have dragons?? BULL SPIT!! hehe I understand that they are working to follow the PotC lure, but i don't recall Stumps being in the movies? lol And if it's that big of a deal, make the dragons something more piratey. These are great ideas Dog and I think Disney should make these just as they are, with minor alterations. I think 25 people fighting a horde of enemies would be sooo fun! Unfortunately, we wouldn't be able to move due to the severe lag. Maybe they could split the group up and start us in different sections, where we'd meet up at the end to fight the bosses? Dunno just my two cents.

Note= leo I'm not criticizing you, im just voicing my opinion no hard feelings?

u mean a dragon wearing a pirate hat?

[Flower]

for the requirements ( Story 1 & 2 complete )
Wouldnt that like take out more that 2/6 of the player base? - and take out possibly 1/9 more by the people who completed both story quests and are not lv45 and above?

I think the requirements would be:
- at least 1 mastered weapon
- at least lv37
- Must have more than 1,500 health.

World of warcraft.... haven't heard that... /saaarcasaammm
World of warcraft also takes ideas from other games and makes them into there own style. I know that pirates can turn this "World of Warcraft Idea" into there own unique style that will attract many people in my opinion.
I really like your idea, I find it very bear-tastic Beary-Exciting
Bear-Riffic Beary-Extraordanary(Sp) Ok. i stop with bear puns.
