Should I charge?

Eh, with smart investments and proper promo abuse that 700 might get you to R9T3 with decent refines. But thats just it, its gonna be decent but not OP or anything and its not just gear you need, you also need star chart and cards, which are basically another sets of gear.

Honestly speaking G16 can cause issues if its significantly more up to date with otherstuff(Cards, Star chart, Meridian, passives) but if there is no difference in those R9T3 has major advantage. If thats worth it for you, go for it, if not, dont. But I would say throwing 300 bucks to G16 is only something you gonna regret later.

Hey man, i recently just farmed my r9s3.

But i would suggest, wut i did. I was one of the best g16 bm's on Etherblade. Where i was hell to r9's. Being able to tank and kill them.

i had g16+7gear+11wep (75hp Shards Gear/Garnet Shards Wep).
So nothing to special. But the thing that made me so tanky, was finidng Cards, that worked for me and as soon as i found them. BOOM I leveled them. I was one of the frst on ET server to get max cards. 80/80 n 40/40 etc.

This is when DFSP first came out, and people used it as a money farmer. But i used it too level cards.
Leveling my cards and having max passives gave me that advantage of being able to kill r9s3+7-11.

Now i only got r9s3+7gear/Full Vit shards with my maxed cards and 32k self buffed HP and i only can be killed with ganked from multiable r9's. And with multiable r9's i can hold my ground.

Are you saying your server is that bad?

If you're willing to spend that kind of money on the game then charging during promos and buying r9 during discounts is about the best thing you can do, IMO.

Hello!

While as an employee I can not advise you where and how to spend your money, I would definitely take a look at promotions that run and check your calendars for holidays (not just US ones but certain International ones as well!) Also, keep in mind the dates for things like but not limited to PWI's Anniversary Month and Black Friday, as these day(s) usually have nice promotions to celebrate.

I'm sure you can get more candid advice from our player's who've cashed their gears as opposed to farming it!

No.. I am saying that u get people that charge for r9 and dont learn their class or pay attention to the little things. I did, i figured out peoples combo's and found ways to work around it.

ET bad o.o = ET No.1 xTW Server

Crisis from Danwglory is undisputed No. 1 in xTW and I guess that will stay this way for quite some time as there is no sign of Crisis breaking down, quite the opposite..we get more and more active, decently geared players to an extent that I might say we can handle the 2nd and the 3rd strongest factions at once (if need be 60v60 both but thats just me interpretation, I could be wrong).

In retrospect...it was a mistake to level the cards/get the cards so soon. I made that mistake too. If I just didnt use a single FSP coin that I've farmed for the barb and my storm alone and instead would've sold it for those insane initial prices, while getting the Card-Sets no when the cost of a FSP Coin is merely 79k-ish instead of 300k then I would have the same chars/cardsets I have now but either maxed out gears on them all or 100b coins in my bank.

Point is, during that time just getting some random S/A-cards to max level would've EASILY gotten you full r9 if you would've just sold the coins.

BTT: Is it worth it to cash for r9? Well, there is an easy solution to your problem. Do you have your titles (cept the WQ ones) maxed? Is your meridian done? Nuema done? Do you have all skills, sky level, passives? If you can say "YES" to all of these then get r9. IF you still have to work on that stuff don't get r9 yet. The difference this stuff makes is massive, maybe even enough for you to not invest into r9 at all.

G16 Barbs can be a factor in any type of PvP..just that you need to abuse your basic skills to be effective. AA with Mighty Swing when its needed. Raging Slap + Invoke/immunity on key targets to save your team-mates. Use your ulti for further paralyzes. In general..just focus on CC and AAing. Cause as much trouble as you can. Don't even bother trying to kill someone. Even maxed out barbs usually dont have the DD to kill people in max buffed Mass-PvP fights. Also, be very careful if there are deity/NP-geared people on the field as they possibly can just OS you out of the blue. So keep invoke up at any time.

Also, if you havn't gotten a r8r def lvl weapon yet then I highly recommend you to get one first of all things. 25 def level can already make a huge difference. Also, they are pretty cheap these days. You pretty much just need a few Supply Token and ~40m to recast the basic r8 weapon (you need 200000 reputation tho). Re-rolling for better stats is also very easy and cheap with Fortification Seals.

Don't give up. There is alot you can achieve by playing decently and knowing your own limits.

PWI community at its best realize the derailment of a thread and criticize them for it and magic nothing pertaining to the thread but the derailment...
G16 Gear is good for support end game but, unless you are some sort of star chart and card god or just play DB you won't have much luck tanking for very long.. If PvP is end game go R9. If PVE go G16 either way full G16 first and then farm R9 so you learn some mechanics of your class before you cash your R9

i don't know i have easily over 5000 dollars invested in this game and its hard for me to judge if this game will be around if we had more people like kalystconquerer i could see a definite future and keep investing now i only spend 50 or so dollars in case game goes under i wont feel like i got jack also there are tons more people that have way more then i have spend on this game mine been almost since pwi began literally years some of the cash shoppers can blow a grand in a week with out even blinking or caring

i think it is outrageous that PWI has allowed people to buy gear with real life money - not everyone has $700 to spend on reputation and R9r3 gear!! (this shows the pure greed of the game owners!!) that is why the game is FULL of rb2 level 104's that have NO idea how to play their toon!! gear should be farmable - and NOT the teadious task it currently is - it is ridculous that everyone want 50 to 70 million (12.5+ gold) in game coin for one piece of gear!! this truly makes the game P2W - getting to the point it will be P2P as the obtainable gear make the player a 1 shot for normal dungeon bosses and OP characters that paid for rep and gear!!

What did you smoked?
I don´t see a problem that some people can afford to spend $700 or more on a video game items. Saying it is outrageous is like saying that some people should not be allowed to buy cars, travel around the world, buy expensive jewels and the list can continue because others cannot afford to do those things.

It´s **** to think that farmers know how to play their toon better than cash shopers.

I don't know if it's possible to give a more detailed answer than I've already did.

Have all passives done and still oneshot? Get r9, shard full vit stones (they are cheap now), slap on a decent def lvl weapon and it will be nearly impossible for a majority of people to kill you on their own while you are buffed.

My BM currently has that and I dont see people solo'ing me even on selfbuffs.
