Year One PL Legendary Gold Weapon

Would love both Golden and now Slivered legendary set to be completed

While I agree the rest of the set should be finished, I don’t think it should be given to players who’ve completed arena. Arena doesn’t have anything to do with being a Pirate Legend and in most cases isn’t even used to achieve that.

As long as they don’t give out the original stuff I think it’ll be fine though.

Hard NO for giving golden PL weapons unless it was for finishing LSD have to agree with OP on this one.

Golden variant of the weapons are by all means strictly better than non golden variants and would be the biggest insult to anyone who got LSD.

I would be willing to compromise if they finished the victorious set for LSDs and than finished the gold PL weapons or if they introduced a black and silver variant of LSD weapons for people who got LSD.

But just giving golden PL weapons now would be such a spit in the face to anyone who got LSD.

@nitroxien giving the entire set to only people who’ve finished Sea Dogs is what I don’t agree with. Although it’s a recolor so it’s not that big of a deal.

the Purple Pirate Legend weapons would have been transitioned over to adventure either for all pirate legends either tied behind Athena Level, Maybe give them when they get Rank 50 in 5 trading companies, or have them behind a new variant of the Legendary Seadog commendation, but it be rewarded after sinking X number of Player ships (Like 150= Blunderbuss, 300= Sniper, 600= Pistol, and 1200= Sword).

If I know this playerbase like I know this playerbase, fresh spawns are going to be targeted by those who want the weapons, but lack the skill or gall to PvP a willing ship.

Arena worked because it was a separate mode, that was set up in a way that offered crews a fair fight. Adventure is a sandbox, and not everyone who plays even wants to fight.

Adventure is getting its own PL weapon set. Variants are always welcome, and we need more of them. But time-limited stuff should remain time-limited.

Why? The Golden PL blunderbuss had nothing to do with Arena. It existed before Arena did so why should the rest of the weapons be tied to Arena?

Is it because you think they look better and would feel bad if people got "better" looking cosmetics for less work? Because personally I think the Golden Legend set looks atrocious, but also I think that's a weak arguement. We shouldn't add new cosmetics because people worked hard for the ones they already have and some people might like the new ones more?

I want to make it clear I am a LSD and first year PL, so I'm not arguing this out of jealousy for want of the cosmetics, I just want to see the set finished and don't think they should be tied to a gamemode that no longer exists and had nothing to do with the set in the first place.

@mferr11 First year PL was much harder to achieve than LSD so deserved a better reward. That simple.

Gold LSD weapons are better than base LSD weapons that simple.

Okay, so then why do you want the rest of the rewards to come from LSD if you think it was easier than the original requirement? You said "Hard NO for giving golden PL weapons unless it was for finishing LSD", but you just said LSD was easier than Y1PL. Why do you want to nerf the requirement? Why not just give them out to everyone that was Y1PL?

Gold LSD weapons are better than base LSD weapons that simple.

This is literally just an opinion. No cosmetic is objectively better (from an aesthetic standpoint, flintlock ironsights might disagree) than any other cosmetic.

@nitroxien golden PL weapons aren’t better. They’re different. It’s up to everyone’s personal opinion on which looks better.

Pretty simple if you ask me.

Year 1 PL was not hard, it was time consuming. LSD/TSD was more of a challenge imo.

@ninja-naranja

The reason I said that give the Gold Weapons (or something else) as the true reward for doing the 240 arena wins as a PL, is that the purple weapons are the ones that match the PL outfit, and it has been frustrating to many that they won't have weapons that match that outfit unless they dove into arena.

Giving the people who got those 240 wins SHOULD have something unique and special to commemorate that achievement and time commitment (I never did it cuz I couldn't stand just chilling in the tavern so much) but I just think the weapon set that matches the vanilla PL outfit should still be attainable somehow in the game. Like if they made a PL Weapon Set with the Sea Dog colors for those Legendary Seadogs (Toss in a Red or Blue PL outfit to match).

I also think the Gold Weapons should have been given out to everyone who achieved PL by an anniversary date. Like Blunderbuss for Year One, Sword for Year Two, Pistol for Year 3, and Sniper for Year 4.

@reverend-toast thing is though, those players already have something special for their time and commitment. The PL weapons and the triumphant sea dog set.

@ninja-naranja

As in the Regular PL weapons would become available for everyone to still get, and the people who committed to arena would still have something unique.
