What do YOU think?

[Eric Daggerskull]

Ok, so it's probably no doubt that Davy and the Kraken will be joining the game. But how? How do you think they will be introduced.

I think that seeing as Jolly and the EITC are working together, Jolly will raise Davy Jones and the Kraken back from the dead to help defeat the pirates. Then again, this game is happening between movies 2 and 3, so maybe he just brings back the Kraken? What do you think?

[MacIronhawk]

Actually, Jolly Roger and the EITC are working together.

[Eric Daggerskull]

I can never follow these story lines. I'll change it.

[mlratto]

jolly roger and the eitc WERE working together...but only through linked accounts. So i'm not sure they will be posing a threat anytime soon.

The Kraken will appear as the final BB in the next chapter. however the lag will so great when it appears no one will be able to complete it.

Pirate noteriety levels will be finally raised...but only to 42. All the rep you gained after reaching 40 will be applied and your pirate will instantly be maxed again.

We will also see new weapons but the quests to get them will be so long it will make the gunner quest look like a walk in the park. After receiving the weapons you'll already be maxed at noteriety level 42 so you won't really ge to use them.

SvS will finally be addressed and the bugs fixed...only to find a new bug. every SvS ship looses the ability to use cannons and broadsides...so you can only use ramming speed. At this point you find out every ship is unsinkable because they take no damage.

i think that about covers it.

[Eric Daggerskull]

What I meant was how do you think the Kraken boss battle will be introduced? As in what will be the story behind it?

[Stephen O'Malley]

Idk how in the world they are going to plan that. OH WAIT! Maybe THAT'S WHY they are taking so long!

They must have game designer's block.....

[Nelly Darkpaine]

Yeah, so to make themselves feel better, they frustrate players....

Im still seriously sore over the linked accounts... I haven't played since.

[combatlizzy]

Well Eric, the NPC's keep telling us that there are EITC soldiers disguising themselves as pirates. If this is so, maybe they are planning to turn pirate against pirate...When we are completely unsure of who anyone is...maybe Jones or Jolly will begin their assault with the assistance of the Kraken. idk...just a thought

[MacIronhawk]

I'm actually note worried about Davy Johns coming into the game.

See, what I thinks going to happen is the opposite of what happened in the movies. Now wait. I'm not talking about Davy Johns following the navy because they have his heart.

I'm thinking Jolly Roger will enter as our own nonmovie related story quest. I think the EITC should come in and plan to use his powers put it backfires and he takes over the EITC. In return we'll see undead EITC and navy related enemies and new islands. That's just my idea.

There are a great deal of mixed ideas people have as to what will happen, mainly because Disney will not say one thing one way or the other. The only thing I know about the Kraken really was from St. Patrick's Day when the water turned green, it was supposed to be from the Kraken coming towards the Caribbean. Now that has been quite a while ago, and Disney has not said any thing else really about it. I only go by what messages appear on the site and in game, I would not take any thing the so called "Game Master's" say as the truth because they have let me down several times now with false promises.

Now just to speculate, if things go off like the movies are... we are going to have a quest that is some how related with Davey Jones, his heart in the chest, and the Kraken. More than likely we will make an attempt to get the heart, or possibly the EITC will be going for it as well as us to gain control of him. We will probably be faced by the Kraken at some point while doing this as a Boss Battle type situation. The ability for them to make Krakens and Sea Monsters as regular at sea enemies is going to be very difficult as far as lag goes, so it will probably only exist in a special "Treasure Map Location" like the Black Pearl Boss Battle. I can almost see it opening with a cut-scene of Davey Jones speaking to us with some thing along the lines of " So you have came after my Chest have you...blah blah blah.... You must first get passed the Kraken...etc" And the Boss Battle for the Kraken will then take place, hopefully leading directly into a chapter 3 from that point envolving weapons upgrades and special new skills and ships to be obtained before you can be strong enough to enter the next set of quests. More than likely the Boss Battle will end in us and our crew escaping but Jack being eaten, and sent off to The Locker, where we have to get him back from as the 3rd Chapter Story Quest.

Disney with their total lack of information as of late kind of makes me think they are just waiting for POTCO-UK to be ready to start up before they release the new things for us. More than likely the POTCO-UK will come out with all the new stuff we are getting already in it, while we receive an update to our current game.

I think they'll keep us guessing until around the 4th of October, where we'll see an announcement on Test that the Kraken is coming. It'll go through it's hasty 3 day test, then get released. The BB will be buggy when people get to it, and take forever, if at all.

I haven't either.

Anyway, I think the Kraken will randomly appear in the ocean. You're sailing.... BAM, Kraken attack. The grape shot has always said it's effective against sea creatures/monsters/whatever, so why not make the Kraken a frequent and random occurrence?

[Eliza Creststeel]

The 2nd BB is obviously supposed to be the Kraken - since they've been developing it for so long. But, remember the timeline has this game set around the 2nd film. Jolly and Davy both have an issue with Sparrow - and that alone would motivate them to work together.

But, I could see the players having to travel to Tormenta to meet Davy and perhaps actually get some help on how to deal with Jolly Roger. Then, maybe a double-cross by Jack has him send the Kraken after you.

And WHAT of this cinematic cut scene they've shown on the XD site of Joshamee Gibbs and Jack talking about going to PDF for something?

There is SO MUCH stuff that lays scattered around (screen shots, vid clips etc) that looks like dead ends or parts of incomplete chapters. Can they manage to tie any of it together? Has this been just one LOOOOOONG tease?

[Eric Daggerskull]

Nice ideas guys! These are all really thought out.

Its been a long time, and I could not find the post(s), however there used to be some additional animation after you beat the chapter 1 boss battle surrounding Jack and Joshamee, and finding an artifact of sorts on Padres, Valentina I believe was involved as well, it was assumed this would launch the player into the 2nd chapter. Cant remember if this was seen in beta, or originally released in the game and later removed. The boss battle was taken offline (before I got to it) a short time after I started the game and when it was brought back it did not have the additional animation then.
