This might mean that soon El Patron's Lost Sword will not be the only Legendary weapon in-game anymore. That reminds me, I need to work on levling up my dagger.

Abu Nar Clan Assassin Daggers... Has a nice ring, eh?
The update is probably tomorrow. Maybe we will have a legendary dagger!
Then a legendary blunderbuss, musket, bayonet, pistol, sabre, broadsword, cannon ram, sea globe, etc... *sigh*

WHY WONT DISNEY JUST MAKE A NEW STORY CHAPTER! D':
Instead of teaser updates like this...

New Daggers!! You know what comes after Daggers? Voodoo Staffs! Unless of course, they decide to give us those Golden Grenades we've been asking for .

My friend said this guy found two new daggers, one was common, and the other was rare. He didn't tell me what the common dagger was called, but he did tell me the rare one was called a Golden Dagger. Can this be the start of the deadly daggers?

Yeah, they haven't released them yet. If they did then we would've seen it in the released notes or Disney would've mentioned it being in test in the news article. What they're doing right now is throwing us a bone just to make our mouths water.

IF these are just weapon drops, then they don't have to release anything to test or even give an update. They just shorten the swords, give them a new name, and call them daggers.

They may already be out there in some small quantities.

I refer back to a (Almost) 2 year old post: What good are 'new', more powerful weapons, if there isn't anything to use them on? For those still levelling, a more powerful weapon will slow down your levelling because you do more damage and get less rep. For those who are high level, there is nothing to use the new weapon on.

Disney has turned the game into nothing more than, "see who can be the first to get a full collection of worthless junk." NOTHING they have added to the game this year, or even last year, has added to the game experience. Most of the new stuff has actually detracted from the game. What used to be a game that involved groups working together to achieve a goal, has turned into every person playing alone. Potions = playing solo. Fishing = playing solo.

Until there are new QUESTS, and a major storyline, everything they put in the game is just so much fluff.

This is just sad. Disney tantalizes us with talk of the Kraken, new story-lines, and so forth. And still nothing more than a few aesthetic changes to the game. This is a classic technique. They deprive you to a point that you'll take anything, even if you do complain a little, with just enough content to keep you hanging. By the time they come out with something, it's already obsolete. They never give out their best, or they'd lose their customers.

I will smack a punk if we get an Undead Assassin that looks like a Bandit. Although, I could see that as being a level 40 Undead enemy... All I can say is this island better be more than a PvP Island which took me two minutes to explore. I'm looking for something that takes at least 4 or 5 minutes...

New daggers? Big whoop. BTW didn't the new dolls just go live right off? Even the new island isn't really a big deal (if it comes at all) if there's no quests attached with it. Little thought. Yeah, we could use a new island. Preferably a high level island. With some nice big level 60 enemies! My 43 can take a 50 thrall no prob. We need some more high level islands, and yes, a main island would be very nice indeed. Still, it's all just guessing and wishful thinking till it goes live. (Or doesn't)

*Thinks about the reconstructed Padres Del Fuego*

I'm betting that if we do get an Undead Assassin, it would look like an Undead Gravedigger, since that seems to be the most popular model POTCO uses. "Oh look, a Gypsey, it looks like a Gravedigger. A Brute, it looks like a Gravedigger. A Witchdoctor, it looks like a Gravedigger, etc." *end of rant*

As for the Island's area/s, if it's a jungle, I hope it's unique and not the same generic layout like all of the other jungles. Going through the jungles gets repetitive after a while.

No, they were on Test for about a week. They weren't brought to Live until that event (which was pointless) was announced.

Speaking of fluff, would snow-filled Christmas themed towns with a Jack Sparrow snowman be considered as a good update?
