The Midnight Blunderbuss should have been more accessible

They're never going to do that

@oldmangames1216 Get in line dude, many of us are still waiting on the obsidian capstan.

I understand that there must be items that you can only get by buying something physical, but the fact that these products are only sold in a few countries and impossible to export makes things really unfair.

@targasbr Life isn't always fair, mate. Not every product is going to be available everywhere, that's unfortunately just how it is. I don't mean to sound brash, but I don't think Rare needs specifically re-release these products, simply because they weren't easily accessible in the first place.

For a game meant to be played by everyone around the world, releasing a product that isn't accessible to a large portion of the world doesn't make much sense. They don't need to be released again, but they should provide another ways to get these items, even if they are in-game items, for all players.

@valor-omega said in The Midnight Blunderbuss should have been more accessible:

@targasbr I'm going to respectfully disagree, especially for items such as Ferryman, Black Dog, etc. I do know that the Midnight Blunderbuss has in-fact been a reward for a few different contests, which is fine imho.

Recolors, I am fine with. But preserving the original cosmetics, for those that were lucky enough, or paid the hefty price to obtain them should remain unique.

"Be lucky to be born in Europe, otherwise, I really don't care if you have an item from a pirate game with plasticine graphics."
Ok.

@targasbr Sorry? Are you trying to guilt me or something, based on where I live?

Is it unfair when a car company makes a limited run of a certain model, and only a select few get it? No, it's not.

If it can be imported and brought to my country, no.

Is it unfair when a video game company makes limited edition versions of a game, and only a select few get them? Nope, not unfair either.

If those who took it only got it because the company made something available in a single country, yes, it's unfair

Is it unfair when a movie theater shows a limited, advanced screening of a new movie before anywhere else, and only a select few are able to see it? Nope.

In this case everyone could watch it after it's released, even if this mode is using the game's theme, if you know what I mean.

I'm sorry, mate, not trying to sound rude or anything, but that's just how it goes. Not everything is going to be available to everyone at every given point in time. Limited nature is by far not exclusive to the video game world.

When you sell a product that is consumed all over the world and make based products available in only a few regions of the world, yes, it is unfair.
It wasn't for lack of money, they just don't deliver to my country.

@valor-omega said in The Midnight Blunderbuss should have been more accessible:

@targasbr Well, I'm sorry to say, but that's a bit of a selfish mindset to have. Again, not everything is going to be available to you at every given moment, and I think that's something you're going to have to learn to accept. If every aspect of life was fair, there'd be nothing wrong with the world.

I already see it as a selfish mindset not to accept that everyone who has access to the game should have access to all of its items.

Obsidian capstan, ferryman,mightnight blunderbuss, time limited cosmetics.

How do people get so obsessed over some pixels is beyond me.

Then why are they defending it making them unavailable forever? If it's just pixels does it really matter?

The good ol' "if its just pixels that you have it shouldn't matter to you that I have then.."

It's a game where there's a handful of rare now unobtainable cosmetics. They had to be earned or gained through certain participations or promotions. Rare want to maintain the rarity of those items. Everyone has to deal.

Since it is just pixels after all.. there are significantly more pixels currently in game you can work towards, unlock, or buy in game than there are exclusive pixels you can't get anymore. You've got tons to work with. Enjoy.

I unlocked everything there is. Guess i have to wait till S7.

Guess so.

That's the beauty. There'll always be more

I understand the appeal of having rare items in the game that not everyone can have but in my opinion, if it's part of a set that has other items that are easily obtainable or are more accessible I don't see why some items of said set should be locked away to the majority of people who may already have most the set, the blunderbuss and capstan are a little ridiculous to acquire compared to the other items in the same set so personally I feel like they could provide alternative methods to earning them (not giveaways but some in-game challenges would be neat). I saw an argument that the banana sails should also be obtainable since they are so limited, but items like those are not part of a full set, so there's less of an incomplete feeling when you miss out on those types of items.

Also, let's all be grown ups here, these are just cosmetic items at the end of the day and not worth getting super worked up over.

I wonder how many of the posters who are against OP's idea want the PL curse to come back. I really don't understand the forum's double standard on this subject.

Personally I am fine with either direction, as long as it applies consistently to all currently time limited cosmetics.

PL curse IS coming back.. and it was never intended to be gone permanently, unlike a select few things in the past.

How do you know for sure that its coming back? Has Rare ever made a statement specifically confirming this?

Yes, and then constantly re-confirmed by deckhands. Rare are just idle on it saying they want to figure out how they want to reintroduce it.

@alienmagi said in The Midnight Blunderbuss should have been more accessible:

However, even if you are right, my point is that, in my opinion, it should only come back if other time limited cosmetics make a return as well. Isnt that fair?

No. They're just not the same at this point. Anything old and currently "exclusive" was for it's time. It's being maintained that way. Rare want to keep it that way.

Everything else released since they were open about maintaining the rarity of old cosmetics has been pretty clear cut, and they've been straightforward about it.

Going forward the only truly time limited exclusives are by Rare's own words anything themed from the seasons, like each seasons themed particular scar or tattoo, and more recently, the adventure rewards for participating.

@Meroviel said in [Bring back Pirate legend Curse]:

As already stated by @sshteeve we have mentioned multiple times that we are looking into bringing back seasonal rewards but we have yet finalised what those plans might look like. Once we have a plan in place on how best to deliver these cosmetics we will likely do an announcement on one or multiple channels so keep an eye out.
