Black/Pirate Crate Prizes
- Thread starter Wonder
- Start date
I've opened 120 crates (which is a very small sampling) and have pulled 4 of the black princess bodice items. Don't believe the hype that some of the items are rare. I have a pretty darn even distribution. So, it is just luck. 
Save one for me. Haven't pulled that one yet. 
I really miss VMK. I get that this isn't supposed to be a true remake, but I really miss the authentic feel of the item designs.
I guess what I mean is that it's starting to feel Habbo Hotel-tier as we slowly approach having every clothing item in every color. Each costume used to feel unique and special, I feel like the recolors cheapen that a great deal. But I know this is just the direction the majority want to take things, so don't take this as a complaint, merely an observation. I hardly play anymore anyway.
Oh, and before anyone mentions the Mission Space suits from the original game, I wasn't a fan of that either. One or two variations is probably the limit in my opinion.

I think everyone has the right to their own opinion, so for that, I respect yours.
- How do people not have a chance to earn it? Sparrow is in the crates. It was in green crates. You can play pirates games to earn them. You can trade for the pieces. Everyone has been given a chance here, so I'm not sure why people are using the argument "I didn't have a chance."
- New items can be great. Brand new additions that are designed by your lovely new graphic artists. Wouldn't you like that? In my opinion, black sparrow isn't really a 'new' item at all.
- Also, 'virtual status' symbols in game are essential to the growth of a game. What else do you have to work for otherwise? Some people may be content with just roaming around enjoying the game (I fall into that category myself), but others need something to work for. A sense of reward. Taking away that sense of achievement and replacing it when easily earned or bought items has been the downfall of a few games that I can name.
But that's just my two cents. I don't really care, otherwise. It's not like I feel the need to wear either. But there's two sides to every argument, and it's important to see it from both perspectives. Makes ya a more thoughtful individual.

Actually, most of the recolors were in the original game these black clothes are the first time I've seen the staff recolor something different, and I think its kinda neat!
EDIT: For anyone interested, this is a link to a site that has all of the furniture, pins, and clothes (and their recolors!) from the original game. Enjoy

That site doesn't show any of the recolors people are complaining about to have been part of the original game.
Red and pink Haunted Mansion suits; purple and green(?) cowboy shirts; blue cowboy pants (and I think there's another recolored one); green, pink and now black princess Minnie hats; pink, light blue and now black Dreams shirts... the list goes on, that's just off the top of my head.
Hardly any of the recolors are befitting of the theme their respective costume is meant to portray. The only one I would maybe defend would be the cowboy shirts, but even then, the colors are too bright and look tacky.

Every single recolor that has come out, whether included in the original game or not, has resulted in some disrespect towards the staff who worked hard to bring them to us. To be honest, I haven't seen much complaining about the items you've mentioned, however I've heard tons about the purple pirate outfit for example. I haven't been on much until recently though, so you're right, I probably don't know what I'm talking about. However, I can say that the complaining has gotten ridiculous. It's as simple as this; if you don't like the item, don't use it. It's a game, and I for one enjoy what the staff has brought to it.
I don't honestly see how recoloring clothing or furniture is recoloring the entire game. If they were making changes to the main game, yeah, I'd be upset, but they aren't. I understand where yall are coming from, I do, but in my honest opinion I don't think it's that big of a deal. If you don't like it, don't use it. Be grateful for the game that we've been given a chance to play again, ya know?
