Hello! It's Friday, so let's chat about something new, shall we?

This week, let's talk about the September update! What's your favorite thing that we added to the Spiral this time? Skeleton keys? New inventory/friends list potions? Quest finder? Something else? We want to know...

Have a wonderful weekend, Pirates!

Sometimes, there are just technical limitations that make changing things difficult to impossible, and though we possess all manner of magic wands here, there are technological beasts out there that are beyond our grasp. Sometimes, we may not feel it is within the spirit and vision of the spiral to add or change something. Also, we realize that some of these topics may have been addressed before in other threads - sometimes it's good to pick up a discussion again. Chances are I have read your threads and would like to hear more!

I would definitely say the lock option for items is my favorite part of the update. Takes the fear of accidentally selling a needed item. Thanks so much for adding this into the game.

I enjoyed the new quality of life updates and member benefirs, especially the ability to prevent items from being sold or trashed

Good morning, Professor.

It would have to be the Quest Finder. I am enjoying the Skeleton Key bosses and am delighted about the extra storage space, but even my most jaded pirates are discovering quests that they somehow overlooked. Very, very useful, that Quest Finder.

The only things that I liked about this update is Quest Finder ( I don't need it now, but in the future, maybe ) I never had a problem of accidentally selling or deleting an item, but Item Lock is good for those who are in a hurry to clear their backpack. The elixirs are very useful, so I choose them as my favorites.
Though why players are saying that any update is a favorite part, I only have this to say:"Why do we have to settle for slow, non-story updates?"

Normally, I would have voted for quest finder as my favorite, however, I haven't had a reason to need this feature in several years (simply no new quests to "find" as I have completed every quest). If/when a new world with side quests are introduced, I will quickly have need of this feature and will be a favorite.

So, I will have to go with the Skeleton key introduction. Two of the four bosses were an absolute thrilling fight and enjoyable experience (the other two were simply carbon copies of the fights I did in the main storyline, just with more enemy HP). I put emphasis on the term "were" as by the 10th fight of these bosses it was getting old. Unlike the Kane fight, where I'm anticipating getting a coveted Kane Mask or a Nefarious weapon from the Nefarious Five.....there isn't such a desire with these battles. There isn't anything I'm hoping for. I'm just slogging through the repetitive battles whittling down the requirement for the badge. However, I still place this feature as my favorite since the potential of this concept could produce future bosses that will bring back that desire to farm.

I didn't find much value in the lock items feature or increase space elixirs, since there isn't a whole lot of unique gear I want to save. Everything I want to save can be spread across multiple pirates banks/shared/backpacks already. Unlike Wizard101 which is bursting with tons of no auction, bundles and Crowns gear resulting in a need to buy increase space elixirs, I simply don't have enough "special" items here in Pirate101.

Continuation of my previous post......

Member benefits. Cannot comment at all on this, since none of the benefits have been available since the update went live. Do we have a time frame of when benefits will be available to members?

Hopefully they will run consecutively throughout October as part of the anniversary celebration.

The lock feature and the keys. I also liked what you did with Old Scratches new promotion!
