Discussion Weapon level requirements

Hey, seeing as we're starting to get weapons in game, I wanted to ask this question. We're wielding weapons that say level 30 required at the moment. Now, right now there's no enemies to fight so it doesn't matter too much.

But I would like to request/open for discussion whether the level requirements to bear weapons will be enforced. I actually would vote that they do...having to work up level to use a sword that looks awesome is part of the drive for me. I know that could be additional code that has to be figured out--and probably is complicated. But I think it would be worth it...and then we won't have level 5 pirates wielding famed weapons.

Also, are we going to have the case where you can't loot cursed weapons until you've done Ravens Cove? That's another case of delayed gratification... any time you have to earn something, I think it's more worth it.

Fellow pirates and ye developing staff, what be ye sayin' on this here matter?

Yes, eventually the level requirements will be enforced. It's something that's being worked on currently.

TLOPO aims to re-create the game to match the state it was in when POTCO closed (with some optimizations and other goodies, of course). So yes, the Raven's Cove story line will be a prerequisite to looting cursed weapons in the Mines and Tormenta.

If you can change the level requirements for the weapons in alpha why can you not allow access to all ships in alpha? Just a though. :)

Because only the light versions are available iirc. Just like in POTCO, certain bugs/glitches were tied to specific classes/tiers of ships ie: War Galleon or simply a Galleon.

Edit: adding another tier of ships would require even more extensive testing on our part, and it could break some game mechanics that the devs aren't ready to deal with fixing yet.

That makes sense. Thanks Torch. :)
 
I'm really glad about that! One of my favorite parts about the cursed blades, was being able to choose one from El Patron's chest! And not to mention the story line of Raven's Cove was simply amazing!
