@burnbacon a simple way for them to have done this doubloon rework:

The GMU has found a way to enter the sea of thieves and they are planning their invasion.

During this time you can preemptively show your loyalty to the GMU by investing your doubloons now

Alternatively if you want to make it harder for the GMU you can help the factions present in the sea of thieves by giving them your doubloons

You have until x time to make your choice after which the undoublooning will happen anyways for whatever reason

Anyway simple setup to make it tie into lore instead of just saying we need them gone suck it up.

Imagined by one person in about 5 minutes that isnt getting payed for doing so imagine if you let actual devs think about it abit longer

@roborob-r66y yes the next update has pve content. What are you talking about? We get the festival of fishing back. The recipe voyage!!! Finally it returns!!

@roborob-r66y This response was too good hahah!

Yet nobody has a better way rare could fix this?

Increase prices? Change gold items into doubloons?
With how easy it has been to earn doubloons…Seasons offering, ingame items which nobody even fights for.

So what.
Now we’re all going back to ground zero, and when those weekend event starts. Players are gonna fight to get more again. Those glowing reaper chests, chase anyone down who has one

Can’t tell you how often I’ve had 10 of those chests and ashen chests, nobody comes after me because why?

plenty of butter suggestions have been made. but we the players ar dum. devs are smart. so our opinion means nothing

they are deleting our doubloons i dont think they said they were also removing the cosmetics we already purchased with them. that would be more than a kick in the balls it would be straigt up cutting them off. but the fact the reason they are doing it is to just force people to have to grind when the items are added but they are also giving you enough to buy everything. so whats the point in the deletion in the first place? a lazy way of forcing us to pve because the next update has no pve content?

@mr-nismox

They've changed it now where it's the total amount of doubloons earned on your character, regardless of how much you currently have.
If you've earned 50k since creating your character, you'll get the sword.

So RARE just add water and dilute the game.

@mr-nismox As someone with over 350,000 Doubloon's I don't mind the system going away, but the lack of respect shown to long terms players is pathetic.

Wow a 50K forgettable sword.

Sadly this is exactly how I expect RARE to do things. A real attempt at this would have broken players into percentiles top 5% Figurehead top 10% Sails hay and show the respect and make them only equitable by the owner.

Then again this is RARE why expect them to show any respect to the players.

@drbensei just a poor idea for the community, like whats the point of making people miss out. what do they gain by this?

It's a sad situation, but your progress isn't deleted, just converted.

All doubloons not spent on items before the reset (may it be the special items or the outpost items that you can purchase for gold after the reset) will automatically be converted to gold at April 16th. You can also always do so with Larinna before the reset.

Let's hope the reset leads to the exciting "Let's earn Doubloons together" gameplay events Rare hopes for with this decision.
