Test Release Notes - April 7, 2010 - Discussion

I think the 4 spots are much better. Makes you think of what weapons to put on into battle. I know I would probably have a broad, staff, grenades and a dagger my weapons of choice.

I agree that the new weapons slots is more strategy, and I love that. I always hated having to remember a bunch of different keys for a bunch of different weapons anyway. I am like others in that I am only likely to use 2-3 at a time and this simplifies things a bit. It's actually more effortless for me. I don't miss the other keys at all.

I also think it's great that Disney is trying to flesh out the game and offer more overall content to the average player. This is something that has been missing from the game from the very beginning. This games isn't only for people who have been playing for a while, or people who have maxed characters. It's an overall experience for pirates of all levels, and I think they're doing a good job of adding to that.

Collecting items is something that I have always enjoyed in other games and frankly, without it, Pirates always felt like grinding to me - just button-mashing. Now it's a lot more fun. Seeing that Disney is serious about offering more gameplay value and - even more impressively - not rushing buggy releases and is actually trying to DO IT RIGHT, has me thinking about coming back to play. If they really do it right, that is.

It may not be for everyone, but if they keep doing what they've been doing, I think even diehard Disney cynics like me will be back and playing like they never thought they would. And that's saying a lot.

speaking of collection lol: my collection of 12 voodoo dolls



I was thinking Disney could have 6 customizable slots, so pirates who are used to the usual F1 - F6 buttons could still have 6 hotkeys for their weapons.

Those who liked the current F1-F4 method could still use 6 hotkeys for swords only or whatever they like best for battle, and not being restricted to F1 Cutlass, F2 pistol etc, u know what i mean.

That's what I'd like to see. I like the concept of the belt (being able to choose which weapons to have on it), I just want it to have six slots instead of four.
