This is a sad mockery of what was once a brilliant game. Kingsisle was bought for (up to) 210 million dollars and yet one of their flagship properties gets updated like a poor fan remake.
it was bought out by a shareholding group/firm for games, they won’t update the games regularly or as often as they should unless they see a drop in sales compared to recent years, which doesn’t happen very much
The new antagonist is probably my least favorite part, it's literally only there cause Sam wanted to write ANOTHER necromancer despite the fact we have like 2 in wizard101 and don't need a third. He shafted queen for the sake of subversion, which, if you know marvel movies and basically anything at this point, is NEVER a good thing. If he wanted a new main antagonist, maybe make it someone we've already met, and if not, don't just dip full magic so recklessly, instead we could have gotten at least an actual rival pirate crew if not an actual conclusion to the armada Making a magic heavy antagonist like this is just not good for the game especially when stuff like the prawns, the armada, and even the idea of captain blood crawling his way out of hell specifically to spite you and get to el dorado first, would have been better ideas rather than "I'm a necromancer that has/had a position of power and now I'm evilllll" again.
Though it should be noted that this update is still in test realm, I believe that this update should stay in test indefinitely until *A L L* the bugs are fixed or at least the ones that block progess. Though I like the graphical updates they have given the zone (specifically making the zone set in the day and looking like a war zone instead of at night like in wiz), if this update hits live as a buggy mess, I will delete my pirate membership, quest up a Balance wizard, and solo Belloq 50 times on said wizard because I would rather do that than wait till midnight to actually progress through the fucking game.
I said this! The only unique thing I feel like they added that was good was the music. They’re just reusing assets that are in the game.. like you can at least reuse the ones from the Kroks in wiz and give them slightly different animations. And no world gate to krokotopia either even though it can be seen when going to Aquila?? I was very disappointed with this. 😢
@@stehph they did confirm that they don’t have the resources to make a skyway currently during the roundtable that I did with the devs, but yes still. I wish they would’ve taken more time to ensure a better quality update because I’d wait longer for higher quality personally
What is happening in that company right now 💀💀💀 (Main concerns of constant bugs) We really deserve better than this I feel like this fandom should try a bit more harder to start voicing more about their concerns (constructively and politely of course)
So I'm getting word here that their team is still small?? I'm not sure where this company is financially but if they are in a stable area enough financially to start hiring more people again they definitely should!!! But again emphasis on IF
Yes. The dev team is TINY and they don’t have a lot of resources at all which sucks for us. They are rushing things and that is where all the bugs are coming from. Once again why I keep saying they need to allocate just a FEW resources/people from wiz over to pirate. I think that could help so much honestly
Honestly I don’t think KI will ever give pirate attention unless we as a community decide not to financially support them and express why we aren’t, and to be fair I could be wrong maybe they would just drop it all together but I’d rather that then have my hope crushed every single update praying that they try to fix this lovely game that brought me so much joy that I’ve supported for so long with no reward I’d rather them just say we are done or finally give it the love it deserves, I don’t know if enough people will do this strike for lack of better words with me.
@@SansdoesCosplays I have been preaching and hoping for the same thing. Just allocate more resources over from wiz possibly! I’m just hoping for smooth gameplay in live realm!
They could've at least... updated the graphics? They've been working on a graphics update for wiz for so long now you figure they'd just intro it into pirate to see feedback?
Honestly 90% would agree it would have been better if they never put out an update rather than this shit, they pushed the update to live with still many bugs, terrible outdated textures, made the story shit especially after that Valencia Queen ending. I also love the tight corners and recycling the fights and watching the walls during combat. As a developer myself me and my friends made better games in less amount of time, i cannot believe this is made by actual qualified developers who get paid.
The whole thing is honestly underwhelming and disappointing. We don't NEED another necrophilia that's pretty stupid and utterly ridiculous. we just got through with malistaire and morganthe we don't need another one who is a weak fool. I definitely won't be doing this update when it hits live realm. It was a REAL sad crying shame I would rather either have a final confirmation with the Armada or have a traitor in the pirates ranks and steals the map it be better that way.
It seemed like it was a good update but just thrown out way too early which I understand the disappointment honestly. Sucks that they couldn’t have taken more time to work on the little details to make it more playable.
If they would just allocate more resources and people from wiz to help I feel like things would be much smoother. I'd also always take quality over quantity.
I feel they're in a tight spot in all honesty which they have my sympathy and a leeway. Yes they, the company Kingsisle, put themselves in this predicament but, so far this update is ok except for the bugs and glitches granted the team is still small (I don't know if their staff for the game has increased or not but they've been still saying their team is small). So far I kind of rate this update as...meh overall. Its not bad but its not good. But what I do hope is that they get the results (Positive results when this goes to live hopefully in a better state) they want in which it brings a decent influx of players to help them get the income for better resources.
Their team is still tiny so it’s just hard for them to push stuff out with a lot of quality. I’d honestly be happy to wait the extra time for a better quality update than something rushed like this. But I guess we are getting content so I’m not too upset.
@@howtopvp7744Bruh, I am 99% certain that the majority of the player base does not do PVP (I could be wrong, but I think for sure that they make more from PVE). Also, many people forget that the main reason they can't make world sized update is not just that the team is small, but that the people who knew how to make them don't work for KI anymore. In a way, they need to relearn how to make the large updates again, and the only way to do that is to start small and work up.
The game is live now I'm stuck on rope it never appear for me I just walk inside I try logging off log back in then close the game open back up still did not work.
@@dancyshadowstorm943 I’m sorry you’re having to deal with that. This is why I was saying they shouldn’t rush shit and was PRAYING they’d fix all the bugs but ugh I guess not.
So glad you found the channel and this video! This is not a full world, they don’t have the resources currently to make a full world. It’s more like an area kind of like how Aquila is in w101
@@XL_Slade Ah ok. So they just added a dungeon and will prob add more in the future? The patch notes online are kinda vague, just a new area that looks like zigazag from wiz and new gear and new main questline. Ig this is just supposed to be a tease for when they add the new world in 15 years? lol
@@Miltendo sadly they prob won’t ever listen to me lmao. They just want to get content out but doing so in the way they do is only going to decrease the player base. Maybe if they’d focus on QUALITY, they’d get a better reaction from the players
