Just came back to the game after a few months only to find that my da sails are basically pointless now. My question is why would rare do this, if they’re gonna make the sails worth 8 mil, why not make it actually worth the dozens of hours it takes? This whole idea ruins the point of the game after pirate legend because what is there to grind for now that sets you apart from others.
Sail changes
The Dark Adventurer set was designed with a high price point to reflect their status as a long term play goal and to show your prestige as a pirate who attained them. The Dark Adventurer is therefore priced far above any other set for this reason alone, and the price of the sails themselves is in-line with how we price individual ship items within all our sets.
One of the core design principles of the larger ships is that to be able to helm effectively you need to cooperate with your crew. The person that's on helm shouldn't have great visibility to be able to plot a course and navigate without either cooperation from their crew or raising the mid sail.
The shape of the Dark Adventurer sails and the advantage they ultimately provided was in no way part of the long-term goal for players and played no part in pricing considerations. While this visibility advantage will be removed in December, these sails continue to reflect that intended prestige goal for pirates.
There are no intentions to refund any purchases of the Dark Adventurer sails.
