Pirate slots could be improved

  • Hey everyone! Just wanted to place my thoughts on the feature of having multiple pirates under the same account. (Cant remember where it was mentioned)
    Ive waited years for this feature to be able to play as other pirates i have in mind, but IMO Rare messed it up.

    1. Kinda lame we have to pay for having more pirates, ive played greedy F2P mobile RPG's who let you have for free multiple characters...
      While i understand its probably because will contradict the Apearance potion, its still kinda lame.

    2. Even worse you wont have shared bank and cosmetics (other then the Pirate Emporium stuff).
      Why though?? Players wanting to start fresh are a smaller nieche then players who wants to change things a bit without losing their main character.
      Splitting my efforts in a game that literally takes years to achieve all commendations...
      Why not respecting our time?
      If we go that route at least give us the option to choose between shared items or fresh, great feature is being wasted for nothing.

    What do you all think?

    My guess is that a game based purely on cosmetics can be a challenging environment to make money in. I actually have guilt sometimes because I don’t buy things very often. I’d like to, but I’m just not usually into the things on the emporium. I have purchased some ancient coins a couple times, and I did pay to change my appearance once… and maybe ship name if I remember correctly.

    Anyway, I think they need all the money making tools they can get. Since “more pirates” and their appearances is in line with cosmetics, I’d say it’s fair game.

  • So many Whys, but they seem to given there answer already. And the blame seems to be "the players wants" past wants that didnt seem to progress the How.

    Its a miscommunication between what the Players meant and how Dev go about it.

    Answer they gave: Role Play aspect of things. Some reason they believe we as players want to do "different things' to achieve out goals. One thing I didnt understand was, they think we wanna go different path to reaching Athena. But that isnt right...you still have to do 3 factions. We have 5 in total not counting Athena, and when it comes to Role Playing...we can just change outfits and ship sets.

  • I would be fine with paying $5 for an additional pirate as long as they allowed me to keep all my cosmetics and commendations across both. I want another pirate for roleplay purposes, and I do not want to have to grind PL and both PVP curses again, plus I have cosmetics that can never be attained again that I might want to use on another pirate. The only cosmetics any "pirate profile" will ever have are the ones they release after they come out

  • It's such a blatant swing-and-a-miss that it feels like they have some ulterior motive behind it and/or were pressured into it by higher forces for some reason. It's honestly confusing.

  • @dominator9787 said in Pirate slots could be improved:

    @capt-greldik don’t feel guilty for not buying things. All this game does is try to get money out of players. It’s why all they do is update the pirate emporium and never patch bugs or improve gameplay.

    Without them making money, we don’t have a game. I’ve gotten way more than my moneys worth.

  • I just hope they don't make it to where in order to save outfits, you need a pirate profile (which means losing all your progress).

  • Another request granted monkey's paw style.

    Good job RARE 👏

  • @th3-tater Could you elaborate?
    Disagreeing is ok, but adding a reason is even better.
    Cant see how this improvment hurts anything.
    As i said, players who wants to start fresh are a smaller nieche to players who want to spice their look

    They gave people what was requested in the worst possible way. No disagreement. Just typical rare.

  • @th3-tater Oh ok, because "Another request granted monkey's paw style" means that im asking for something that i will basically regret

  • @faceyourdemon

    I'm not talking about your request.

    I'm talking about the multiple character slots on one account announcement.

    Like you said, it could have been better.
