It has never happened that all Vets agree to each other, thats the first time ever almost every player has the same opinion, no matter if rat or nat, no matter what class or what playstyle. Everyone, every vet is telling you that this is the end of pirates. Introduce the new ships, fix the crappy Avcom, do some tuning to the superfrigates, remove Harry Potter skills and replace them with a few (!) new ones (there are a few good tactical ideas in the current build), do some finetuning to existing skills and you will be fine. Heart of this game is the PvP, the thing that has ever worked fine. PvP has a revival, look at the GF Thread. You are destroying a second spring of PotBS. PvP is the one thing in what pirates stands out of every other MMO. The only reason why the Vets are still here. Because everything else we can have in other MMOs. Bring 2.11 => Destroy the PvP => Destroy the game => Destroy yourself and your livelihood FLS! Please dont! Or nearly all of us will leave very soon. I am not sure, it is your aim to kill the game? It really looks like this ... As I saw Patchnotes first, I hoped it would be April 1st, but it wasnt ...

I agree. This is going to kill the game with these new skills. From what I have heard lots of ppl are going to leave the game if all these new skills come out.

If you get to read this post, consider yourself lucky, as I'm expecting it to be removed as soon as a moderator reads it.

I've been reading these new updates and the posts before this and I find it extremely hilarious what FLS is ultimately doing, which is deliberately trying to do what they can to destroy Pirates of the Burning Sea, by downgrading it to the point where everyone will leave. 'Why?' you ask? I could only give you a guess but what I believe is going on is that FLS wants to move onto bigger and better things than trying to maintain this game. But instead of simply shutting it down, they want to squeeze out as much money as they possibly can, while slowly killing it to the point where it dies, which is where we are right now. Selling the rights might make more sense, but it might be that nobody else thinks the game is profitable, and there are no potential buyers.

I can understand if FLS is experiencing problems with funding the game where they can't afford to pay enough workers to maintain the game, or even provide advertisements that could help the game expand, money doesn't grow on trees and investing in advertisements can go both ways. I'm not saying I know what's going on for sure, i'm just explaining what I believe is happening. Speaking to FLS, I hope if your deliberately killing this game, its for a good reason, either for lack of funding, or to create something else more profitable to support yourselves and create jobs for people.

I've enjoyed playing Pirates of the Burning Sea, ever since a year ago when I joined. It is (was) what I believe to be the one few great MMO games to use the theme of the 'Age of Sail.' Anything else that has used the theme in the past, has either been a non MMO game such as Total War, or something with pirates that is stupidly childish, poorly made, and solely existing for money from parents' credit cards.... *cough* POTCO.

For those fanboys who are just praying for FLS to reconsider, i'd stop, because i'd be extremely surprised if they actually do. Instead either go find another game or get out of the house more to appreciate life away from the internet. As for myself for example, if FLS does proceed with 2.11, you can expect me to head for Minecraft with Cameron Ogden, but if FLS somehow reconsiders and trys to get this game back in shape, Brit nation on tiggy can expect more trolling from Ogden and I.

I was on the testbed server for some time this evening. Since I couldnt test the new quadrillion repairs skills (I only know their power from the now well-known youtube videos) I couldn't test earnestly.

But, seriously:

Pls, FLS, consider your efforts to revamp the shipcombat skills as sunk costs and act accordingly: Delete ALL the code of this new patch and work on the game aspects which the community overwhelmingly considers as troublesome: AvCom amd rageboarding, some parts of the RvR system (nation hopping, PB invites etc.) ...

Don't substitute the only praised part of the game with an inferior one (and one which definitely would need tons of time for reworking and rebalancing blocking all resources for a considerable time).

I am still a rather new (and paying via Captains Club) customer. So all these accusations by some that it's only old vets who dont want to have negated their advantage does not hold here. Tbh, I dont see any reason why the new system will not be discouraging and confusing to new players. And honestly, do you really expect that a 4 year old game with a somewhat dated graphics and no marketing to speak of can attract a significant influx of new (and paying) players? You must be joking, lol.

Cheers

I was on Testbed... Absolutely HORRID in every way I can see. If this goes live, I'm done... I'm having flashbacks to the evil SOE doing this to another game I once enjoyed... SWG... Before they "dumbed it down" for the kiddies, that game was sooo unique and interesting... Why, in god's name would you follow their lead, FLS?

By the way... I have a total of 4 accounts, 2 of which WERE subbed. I have now cancelled payment on them. If this goes live, I will pay $0 to FLS for the first time in 5 years, I guess it's been? HORRIBLE!

PS: I get the feeling SOE has taken complete control of this, people... So, I wouldn't expect them to listen to us, even tho I have seen NO positive posts in this thread... They certainly didn't listen with SWG... and we see how that worked out. How's that game now? Oh, That's right! It's gone!

I haven't logged into, or thought about logging into, the game for months now. I might have to re-download the client just to see if this is actually as hilariously stupid as it looks...

[BSho2]

I was going to post my opinion of the patch here, but instead of a wall of text I will just agree with everyone else. This patch sucks. That is all that needs to be said.
