I'm agreeing with charles for this matter, blade storm is op as it. Having a +3 boost AS WELL as a thrust +3 is just insane. This was only redeemable because POTCO probably knew how op it was. That's why a lot of OP legendaries were released only through redeem codes

Cutlass is lacking right now and needs a powerful weapon variant, Abyss is still stronger because its still a broadsword and we know broadswords are OP.

Someone should have corrected you by now, Abyss is in fact a cutlass! One of the things that makes Abyss unique is it's the only Legendary Cursed Cutlass that looks like a broadsword (Barracuda, Hull Ripper, Sharkfang)
 
Oh what? well I can understand that part of the arguement then now, but there are meant to be legendaries that are better then other legendaries

Say for example cutlasses

El Patron Sword is weaker then Abyss then, And then Abyss would be weaker then HOP

I think it should be ONLY lootable (Along with Norrington's Spyglass and Barbossa's Fury). On the topic of it being nerfed I don't really care, maybe knock down the Blade storm and Thrust boost. Or possibly change the Thrust boost to a Cleave or Flourish boost.

100% Agree. This should be done at the vary LEAST. :)
 
I personally don't agree with ANY legendary being redeemed by a code. Legendary weapons are meant to be more difficult to find, and I feel it should stay that way. I think HOP should stay in the game, but only be lootable, should not be redeemed by a code.

On the topic of it being nerfed, I feel like it should be slightly nerfed. The thrust should be knocked down a point or two, and the bladestorm should be knocked down one point. On the topic of making it a legendary cursed, I don't believe it should be made a legendary cursed.

I know I shared my thoughts on this subject with you already, but I felt like putting them here as well:

I highly doubt Disney intended to release that sword like they did. They released it like they did because the game was dying - it was late in the game's life and when this sword was released, things were starting to reach that ending point. Had Disney continued the game and created new plans for content, I can assure you that this weapon likely would have been released with some higher-level quest-line or something. Instead, they chose to give it to us as a bit of a "parting gift" - something to appease us, so to speak.

Take it from the horse's mouth here, too: in Alpha, we did something similar. As a response and apology for some prolonged downtime in Alpha, we decided to give out several legendary cursed weapons. Total transparency here, guys. I'm not making that up. The concept is not new.
 
Make it lootable. Not redeemable. Maybe it can be a weapon only Darkheart drops. Just like Foulberto drops Silver Freeze.
 
Sorry to keep adding kindling to the fire, but I wanted to bring up some unmentioned points. Along with Barbossa's Fury, Norrington's Spyglass, the Heart of Padres was obviously not intended to be released as it was, like some have mentioned, it was clearly released because of the game coming to an end, so that wanted to give players some legendary weapons. There's a good chance the weapon could have been planned for eventual release before the decision was made to shut down POTCO, but it was released with the intention to give players a legendary weapon. Heck, even the Lost Sword became obtainable by a redeem code by the game's end.

However, what others haven't mentioned is that the good thing about this recreation is that those making it don't have to follow the rules the POTCO staff set up, they are able to change things. Just because those weapons (Fury, Spyglass, Heart of Padres) were released the way they were doesn't mean they have to be released the same way again, the developers can make it how they want. Perhaps the Spyglass is only obtainable via sailing? The Legendary Cursed can only be looted from RC/Tormenta, maybe make Barbossa's Fury and the Heart of Padres only lootable from skeletons, or maybe Navy/EITC... whatever they want. Point is, not following the script of POTCO is definitely OK and wouldn't be a bad thing. Nerfing the Heart of Padres wouldn't be a bad thing either.
 
Hey Charles, you may remember me as "Sam Dreadrage" - we used to play back in POTCO, and I was the former head website developer for another remake. I was the lvl 30 who found Abyss when looting with you, haha. Long time no see, how've you been?

Anyway, my opinion on the sword is that it should not only be made Cursed Legendary (to preserve the rarity, thrill of finding, and strength of the already quite weak Lost Sword), but also nerfed, through both the removal of the Blood Fire ability, and the reduction of the Thrust and Blade Storm boosts to +1. This change would allow for the maintaining of balance through the Cursed Legendary blades, while not weakening the Heart to the point where it would become undesirable. However, I do believe that in addition to the nerfing, there should be a slight attack buff - perhaps to 95 or 100, or perhaps even the strengthening of the Cursed Fire skill (or even a new skill) so as to give it some uniqueness over the other Cursed Legendaries.
 
OTHER OPTION: I think it should be a notable staff and tester item, a little motivation ya know bc it is such an op weapon
EDIT: upon reading the full post I realize how this blade outshines and lowers the wow factor of othe blades, I still stand with my previous opinion but with different buffs

It's "epic" to take the special skills of Thunderspine, Barracuda Blade and Blade of the Abyss and putting it into one weapon and making it a normal legendary (Not cursed) that can be looted by anyone (Or coded)? Making all the time dedicated looters (Which is a majority of the community) and tossing their time and efforts away in the shadow of this broken blade?

I'm afraid, I strongly disagree with you.
