When will we ever

[maple9300]

I was in Avery's Court just now, and I saw this pirate wearing Kane's Robe!

I was briefly overjoyed, until someone imparted their knowledge to me:

[The robe] It's in the code but its not marked as able to drop. Basically, he had to have deleted his robe, asked KI for a new one, he was given that robe by accident. He's quite LITERALLY the only person with a Kane robe.

One of these days I just might cry.

Was it this robe?

We've been patient for several years, can we be patient for several more?

I'll definitely be lurking around and waiting for this robe...

I was in a rush making that post, so hopefully I put the picture down properly here:



Just couldn't help but wonder what's stopping them from listing it as a drop
It's the only thing I need to complete the Clockwork theme I have on my swashbuckler lol

Congrats, you found me.


The robe was given to me on accident when I sold a Gortizi Coat on accident and asked KI Support to restore it back. Instead, to my surprise, they gave me a Goritzi Mantle.

This is also part of why, I asked here in a thread to make all the Valencia II gear pieces obtainable for everyone as it is clearly possible that you can get them as they exist as actual items that can be obtained. It is also part of why I added it on the Wiki and remained silent about it here as I didn't want another Lola and Musketeer Clockwork Steed bashing fiasco to happen, as I already was harassed and reported several times for having a robe that wasn't my fault at the slightest to have it.


And for those who ask, I do have evidence with ticket info and reply response from KI Support regarding the restoration of it.


If you'd like to meet in-game to see it and what not, you can go ahead and ask as well whenever you like.

They recently put all the steeds in the game, so if the community keeps bringing it up, I'm sure it will eventually be added (especially since the code is already in the game).

It seems strange, to me, that they would code a piece of gear and not use it. It makes me wonder what was happening at KI when they released Valencia II. Maybe the robe was (is) still in the "balancing" phase of release?

There are still several equipment, animations and companions unreleased for Pirate101. If you read the developer notes over the years, Valencia II was suppose to be a much larger experience stretched over several more books. The actual update for Valencia II was a truncated version that was quickly put together to get a release, hence why several assets were left unused.

Ahh. That makes a lot of sense.

Honestly... I don't know how to feel about that. I know they wanted to rapid-fire a release out there to "make their players happy," but in truth, I would have rathered they'd waited a little while longer so we could enjoy the full experience. I do agree that Valencia Part II felt very rushed and not of the same quality as the rest of their amazing Worlds - even as Valencia Part I, even though it was short. Plus, if they'd have waited to release a bigger expansion of Part II, it would have kept us players occupied for a little while longer.

Just my 2.794 cents.

While I do agree with you there, I wonder with a future update, if they could just completely change the story of what is currently released for Valencia II, and update it to what they initially had planned. They did do a story fix regarding Lasko, Manny, and Moe's quest to make them fleshed out, and I personally don't see any problem with this, though there may be some economic/financials and whatnot that I may be unaware of. Ultimately I don't see why they couldn't, especially if it's beneficial for the story in the long-run, pace-wise, and in terms of story/plot engagement by the player base.

Edit: And while I'm on the topic, definitely give story-related companions like Catbeard the promotion quest they deserve.

Agreed!

YAS! We need great promotion quests! I actually find promotion quests super fun anyway, so yes, I'd love to see that.
