So, primarily this was a way to get a bunch of players to show up, watch a scene unfold... and have absolutely no effect on its outcome.

While I admire the efforts they're doing on a LOT of LEVELS (new islands, improvements and bug fixes), I guess I'd be happier if the ETIC agents were actually trying to interact with the players instead of performing a scripted scene and then leaving.

Actually, they were interacting with us quite a bit. PvP might have been more fun (for us at least ) but they weren't just reading a script. They were talking directly to many of us, responding to the things we said as long as we stayed in character.

Maybe you have to be into the role-playing part of the game to appreciate it.

This seems pretty cool. I'd hope to come across some.
Doubt it, since there is such a randomness of it.

um when i looked them up on dxd the black guards had all level 25 weapons but they didnt use any of their skill points and so they only has the skills you start with even though they had level 25 weapons

Hmm, verrry interesting. I decided to look up some GMs on DxD myself...

Captain Walter has 4 pirates - Walter is lvl 38 and he has 3 lvl 37s - all with all weapons mastered.

I also looked up Shamus O'malley... NOW it gets weird.

Shamus is lvl 23. His cutlass and pistol are mastered - NO other weapons are unlocked. His sailing and cannon are both at level 1. He has 65k gold and no cards.

Shamus and Captain Walter had both used their skill points.

Next I looked up Lieutenant Clayton Mead. He's lvl 37, all weapons mastered, 65k gold, no cards, and skill points NOT used.

The GMs had some interesting ship info as well.

Captain Walter apparently named his own ship - he has a war frigate named "The Magic" (Another Disney reference perhaps?) as well as a war galleon and another war frigate (both with generic names)

Shamus O'malley has only a light sloop and a light frigate.

Lieutenant Clayton Mead has only a light sloop.

I guess everyone can draw their own conclusions from this info....

Rackat - that was very cool information! Thank you for the link.

Well it looks as if this event wasn't all about leading us to ask questions and get angry as dirt when they never replied. Heh, this time they were asking questions, good GM's...

I dont think the skill points the GM's have really mean any thing, they are just characters made by the developers with skills that are done there when they log-in. The first few times the GM's ever showed up in the game they were all level 37, people started noticing the trend and they made some different levels now (I still think they are just Disney interns they make play the game some and are given a list of things to say not actual players). I have no clue what the EITC Black Guards mean, if it means new quests I guess that means I will return to unlimted access lol. I will be watching and waiting, it peaks my interest in POTCO again.

The meat you see in Sven O's screenshots are ham that was available during a couple of holiday events last year. When used they restore 2000 health (not sure how much voodoo but probably quite a bit). I actually have 8 left from Christmas!

On open, I have seen a couple of players that do no have the GM symbol that have the EITC hats. Any idea why? Are these available in the Men's section of POTCOutfitters?

There is a hat similar to the EITC hats available to the male players.
