Yea just started the game and i have been progressing to achieve the gold curse I heard that was rng awhile back so everyone looked unique. Just wandering why it was changed bc it sounds really cool keeping it unique.
Gold curse question
From what I know they changed it because a lot of players were unhappy with how the curse affected their character. Some people would do the long grind and get a nice, good bit of gold on their character, while others would only get a very small amount of gold skin, that usually was covered up by clothing.
The Gold Curse was not unique - they were based off of the individual Gold Hoarders. Naturally, some were better than others. So, yes - pirates complained and changes were made.
Sadly, this is an example of where I think Rare made a mistake - instead of forcing everyone to use the same 1, I think they should have given them all away as Gold Curse 1, 2, 3, etc. just like they do with the default tattoos that are available from the get-go.
The forced choice is also why I don't use the OoS Curse - the one we're forced to use is terrible, IMO, compared to what we could have had.
