Are you ready for Book 15 (Valencia Part 2)? It's planned to be released this week/ today and Pirate101 is celebrating their new book release by giving away a free permanent mount to all pirates that follow the following rules below.
Be sure to check your emails (Spam) for more information about this mount. You can also click on the image above for a link to Pirate101's website explaining when you'll receive your mount if you follow the rules above. Get ready for Book 15! Support Pirate101! Test Book 15 in the test realm this month and play in the live realm if you enjoy it!! :D We can always show Pirate101 how much we enjoy the game so they make more worlds for us (quality over quantity). Note: Be sure to buy your crowns on the Pirate101 Website. Thank you Kingsisle!
Today I was talking with Jack Nightingale on Pirate101 about the future of Pirate101 (Valencia Part 2 and other worlds we hope Kingsisle will release in the future). I already told everyone that I believe Pirate101 will live on as long as we continue supporting the game every way we can. I also think there are a few things that Kingsisle can do to keep the game living on successfully. I decided to make a little advice post to Kingsisle letting them know what I think they should do to keep the game going so we can see Polaris, Grizzleheim, Krokotopia, El Dorado and many other worlds.
#1: Make A New Commercial
We haven't had a new Pirate101 commercial since June of 2013. I think we're due for another commercial! You had no problem getting new players to join, and many of the new players might have finished the game. It's time to release a new commercial letting those who might have left know that we're getting a new update. We have to have a new great Commercial for the game. This one major step to take to get players to return or join the game. I hope we are able to see another commercial soon, especially like the commercial below.
#2: Release A Bundle
I really don't remember the last time Pirate101 had a bundle. I think with a content release, a bundle would be perfect! If people find Valencia Part 2 amazing, which I hope they will, they will want to buy a card. Why not a Valencian themed bundle? A Valencia themed bundle would be an amazing addition to the game. I don't know how much it costs, but I know that bundles make money especially if they're awesome. Please release a new bundle shortly before or after the new Pirate101 release. New bundles before different worlds would be awesome too. I'm not going to talk about too much what happened, but I think once things are back on track, this would be perfect! It would keep players very interested.
#3: Focus On Players Who Have Been Here Awhile
I think it's now time to focus on players who are around levels 50-65 (and higher once cap is increased). Many things have already been released for new players which really helps new players that might join from a new Commercial. I think it's time to focus attention on older players so you're able to keep those who will spend more time on the game. Always keep players who have been here for awhile in mind. It's also important to keep new potential players close, but the players who have actually decided to buy memberships and quest through are also important for the game to continue. Please, keep those players in mind as well, so nobody gets bored from questing through lower level stuff. The Nautical Gauntlet last year was an amazing idea! That's one way to get players back on the game. It gives players who are at the current cap something to do until you're able to release a new world. If you're able to release more gauntlets or dungeons that give special gear, pets and ship equipment, you should do that. That's all I really have to say on this post. If any of you pirates have any comment on how Kingsisle could keep Pirate101 alive, comment below! Until next time, I'll see you around the skyways.
I hope you're having an amazing Friday (not going to mention the date, but it is always your choice to look). I actually had a great day because I was able to quest in the game again. :D Now before I talk anymore about it, I want everyone to know that I'm still supporting Kingsisle no matter what. I love the games, game team and the community. Please accept that we all have different opinions and my opinion of Kingsisle shouldn't put me in a spot where I always have to defend myself. Accept and move forward with your life just like I am by playing the game. We all have to move forward with life now, and accept what happened. Don't blame somebody if they support Kingsisle. We all have our reasons to support them or not. I will support them and readers here also do, and that's awesome! If you're up for it, now we should show Kingsisle all of the support we can through this time. Especially Tom, our community manager, since he has more work now than he did previously. Thank you for all your hard work! Hopefully, things get back on track from here on out. Speaking of getting back on track...
Today I actually soloed a dungeon with my ice wizard for the first time in years! Well.. I guess I shouldn't say years, but a dungeon like this is something I'd never try alone. I didn't have anything else to do this morning so I decided to try! I had to solo through "The Black Hole" dungeon in The Hive, Khrysalis. I remember questing through with Autumn last year and it wasn't difficult but I remember having to go through the same dungeon two times! I was worried the same thing would happen today since it happened last year. Well.. I'll let you know at the end of the post if it did. :P The first fight was life minions, and they were pretty easy to defeat! I couldn't believe Kan Po was on their side. I mean, he's always by my side when I'm questing with my Witchdoctor. Could I stop talking about Pirate101 on this post? Uh. Okay. I will stop. Anyways..... :P The second fight also had minions, death minions, and both fights were pretty easy especially this second fight. You know ice boosts when fighting a death enemy, so my snow angel above was pretty powerful. I wasn't that worried about these two beginning fights since my ice wizard has plenty of resistance, damage and most of all, Health.
The Final fight in this dungeon had a Myth Boss with 24,000 Health. MYTH. I love the myth school and think it's powerful, but not when it's being used against me. I had plenty of Stun blocks ready for this fight (btw, special hank you and shoutout to Duelist101 for the guide). I was worried most of the time that this boss would use Earthquake, but I was pretty lucky, because he didn't. I was doing great until the middle of the fight when I realized that I didn't include many shields in my deck. I had plenty of heals, but I always include shields during boss fights. I actually made it down to 1800 health (my ice wizard has a max of 6200 health). I was thinking I'd have to end this fight, but I kept trying. After a few heals, I was able to hit the boss with a powerful Mammoth and Frost Giant (since I was 500 health off from defeating him). Shortly after I found Old Cob! I'm not going to explain the entire storyline since many of you already know. I'm just glad that my wizard made it through this dungeon without repeating it. Woooot! Now.. It's time to try to make it to Polaris soon. I really want to make it through that world on this wizard before other worlds are released. It seems we'll have another world later this Summer or Fall. We'll see! Okay.. I'm done typing for now. Thank you for reading this post. :) Until next time, I'll see you around the Spiral!
EPIC Photo! I love the cutscenes on the game now. :D
