Curse time-limited rewards!

  • I came back a couple days ago, and I've been really enjoying the forts and unlocking this fancy conquistador set

    I went to look up the full set, and saw that a sword came with it (cool!) but to my dismay, you could only get it in a small window last month! D:

    That really left a bad taste in my mouth, this is easily my favorite set in the game, and through dumb luck I am going to be permanently locked out of completing it :(

    I really, really wish Rare would stop doing this time-limited stuff; it makes the game so much harder for those of us with busy schedules to enjoy

  • @herrdave3849 Adding adventures added a new way for them to add a small number of limited cosmetics. They are not tied to any particular sets and are more stand alone items than anything else. There are and likely will be more weapons that fit that set, maybe they will introduce actual weapons for it.

  • Time limited is always bad.

    But I guess that's just gaming in 2022, where FOMO is the only way to keep the paying players.

  • @captain-coel I associated it with the set because of the screenshot it was introduced with ->

  • Rare was left in a rough spot where they can't just stop making new time limited items without angering the community.

    The reasoning for not bringing back old time limited rewards is that it is how you tell the tale of your pirate and shows that your story matters. So Rare either needs to bring back all time limited reward (which I am in favor of 10/10) or keep making time limited rewards since if they don't they imply that stories of new pirates just don't matter as much as older ones.

    Rare chose at that start of seasons to more or less stop time limited rewards to the same extent and quality as they did months before hand which lead to the problem with the PL curse a still unsolved problem to this day. The PL curse was the only good reward at the time which means if Rare brings it back they are implying from the same reasoning as above the story of those pirates just don't matter to them.

    In other words I prefer this constant stream of time limited rewards to avoid problems of the PL curse again and always make people feel like their time matters.
