Basic Access

[Captain Redhorn]

For all of you who are lucky and have the priveledge of unlimited access, here is a little thread with all the disadvantages of basic access: https://piratesforums.co/threads/a-hour-in-the-eyes-of-basic-access.686/

And yes... I think basics should be given more 'freedom'.

They should be given more, but not too much. Not enough to wear people think oh well it's basically the same as UA. The whole point is to give them a taste of the game.

Basics should get up to notoriety 20, weapons 10. They should also allow them to get the merchant-class sloop so they can get a small taste of the bigger ships, but be unable to customize it (or maybe just to rank 1, but I don't know if that'd be too much.)
Disney should also allow them to get certain common weapons; cutlass, one-shot base pistol.

As far as ships go, I think Basics get enough.

But just recently while on youtube I saw that WoW is not offering new players free up to level 20. Considering how much more successful Blizard has been, POTCO should do the same... Allow players to get up to daggers and level all weapons to level 10...

They really need to consider their business strategies because I don't think they are good at all.

However this should come when there is added a level increase for the game overall. There master level needs to go up as other games like WoW have level 85. Now POTCO shouldn't go that high but maybe up to 55 or 60 with weapons up to 35 with a new permanent and up-gradable skill so current skill don't just get filled with points.

i think they should make at least one crude cursed sword from doing a quest while unlimited and be able to upgrade a light ship to only a rank I of speed, cargo, or armor, and I think silk vest should be crude . I got a long list xD, but i guess I'll just let it all out here xD. We should be able to change our hair style even when we are basic and have some crude tattoos and Jewry would be nice . I also think that dark ostrich hat should be crude... I doubt Disney would ever listen, we just got lucky with the crude light ship stuff .

I remember way back when you got a 7 day full screen trail... (Full Screen was only available to UA at the time) Basic players had to deal with a much smaller screen with "Ads" But all thats ancient stuff. Something like that could be a good idea, or at least a raise in the basic cap.

I remember that..but I am still a basic member.
I will probably get a game card soon anyway.

Well the weapon mission upgrades for doll, sword, and gun are crude... so you get that

 

[Will Nightwolf]

As a basic member I think yes. But if basics got to much then no one would buy unlimited and it would greatly affect the game because they won't be making as much. So my vote is nay because I'm thinking of the long run.

 

[Jack Goldtooth]

I almost thought they could make basics have more luck finding good loot they cant use so they'll try to pay, but then some people might just say "hey I'll stay basic untill I get a bunch of good loot" or "hey Ill go basic to find better loot"...

 

[Shamus The Brute]

They did & I think still do an "Unlimited Access Preview Weekend" Where they give everyone Unlimited for the weekend...

Inorder for POTCO to better "lure" basic players to pay for unlimited access/subscriptions...this preview idea for UA needs to happen more often, agreed?​

​

Have they forgotten about the idea of dangling a "carrot" on a rope in front of the donkey's nose, lol?​

People who say you're basic and they wont " revive " you because your basic, is just sad and mean.
some people are poor and they cant have unlimited, you shouldnt use that as an insult
