  • Welcome to a very frustrated, and borderline apathic community that has not had anyone tending to the community for a while. I hope you can turn the tide, but I've had that hope crushed in the past... Expect scepticism, sarcasm and abuse. Expect to find blatant disregard for the ToS in this game - several years of lack of…
  • Big wall of text is hard to read. Formatting would help. Summarizing: I've cashed and played long. I'm entitled to be heard as a result. Anniversary code did not work. I want my friend who plays for 6 years to get the special 7 year player promo which he does not qualify for. Farming coin has become hard. I'm not happy.
  • We have been. For well over 3 years now. Only the Euro GM Enelimm was somewhat active, but I haven't seen her around in ages either. People keep throwing money at PWI, which is why the servers are still on, but as far as company attention is concerned, we've fallen into the "end of lifecycle" blackhole. It basically means…
  • If you don't have elven boon, use Great Cyclone instead. It just has a bit of a longer channel/cast time, but works just as well.
  • And make sure you pick squad mode. I don't think solo mode works for bh bosses. You'll need at least 4 players to open squad mode.
  • "2. [Mulberry's Aid](+12 evasion) Complete the prerequisites for reawakening." This is wrong. This title is awarded by completing a lvl 100+ quest that starts at the PWI Promotions Agent, called "Pestle of Reincarnation" (I think not sure about the exact title). It is independent from rebirth. And Tome: Silk Ridge is…
  • Meh. I failed to take intra-faction drama into account in my earlier standings. Revised: 1. Requiem 2. Crisis 3. Mayhem 4. Templer 5. Revision Mayhem disintegrated WAY sooner then I had estimated. I thought that would stay together for at least this TW season... Guess the binding force of AlwaysWinning was weaker then the…
  • Some tips from a cleric who feels your pain: - Check beforehand if your party has -so- many buffs that the debuff icon might not appear. If so, tell your party you'll have problems spotting the debuff. - Ask your party to spread out a bit, especially the ranged DDs. It's easier to see the debuff if your group is scattered.…
  • It signals a more serious problem then a goldprice that's too low: That the coin/gold balance is out of whack. Given that PWI decided to put the new starchart stuffs as boutique only (at least partially: Arstrospira >lvl 1 and the stargazing items are boutique only), as well as a bunch of other items... This sucks gold out…
  • Longer respawn isn't needed, but spawning them at a random time might be a good idea. So it's not just the players with the ability to log seconds after server reboot that can get those titles, but they become available to anyone who wants to hunt them.
  • From my experiences: - A newer processor doesn't neccesarily improve game performance. Probably has to do with the fact that this game is a singlethreaded application, which does not take advantage of multiple cores. - A modern 3D videocard only marginally improves performance. I guess most graphics are generated by…
  • Someone probably forgot to turn on the sale for these... Not the first time someone screws something up at server central, right? :smiley:
  • Thanks for the correction. I thought the resulting cost was a little high... Oopsed a formula probably. Add roughly 53 million for NW token cost (assuming 15k per token if you buy them) if you don't have them yourself and you end up at roughly 320 million for a first cast warsoul weapon, true production cost. That's doable.
  • You'd need to also implement a third item that prevents unbinding gear from being possible - for those of us who use the binding charms as an additional layer of security against losing gear due to account hijacking. Unbind stones would be a lot cheaper then a stolen bound +12 NW cube neck for instance (not to mention a…
  • ... but you'll either miss a crapton of damage (melee classes, zerk), autopurify (mage classes, purify spell) or auto-purge (archer). Not to mention a ton of attack/deflvls from the R9 set bonuses, and the extra bonuses you can't get from putting something decent in the cloak/helmet slots. The Warsong belt you -can- equip…
  • Requested changes: - A server-side method to cripple mining bots, considering that kind of automation gives the cheating owners a massive advantage. Maybe limit the number of material piles you can dig in a day to 100 or so. Farming by fighting is limited by earning time, farming by mining should get a limit as well. -…
  • I will - those high prices pissed me off, 's why I started that shop - and from the look of it, pushed the 16k9 sellers out of business, as intended. More of a service to the server. But I'm not the first one to do so - There's a certain Token Cow which I based my store on... Store will be around as long as I am I guess.…
  • Clickscripts can simulate a shift-click as easily as a standard one. Not hard to do that using autohotkey or something similar. Never bothered to myself - some of the times I play are a deadzone on Dawnglory, noone using the grinder means I can easily dig 100 surplus m'self while running TT or something on screen 2...…
  • There is no real solution anymore. G16 gear is so far below R9 that even a very skilled G16 player will not be able to down an equally refined R9 toon. I'm glad I got my R9 farming done before all this BS started - I had considered to take my cleric to R9 for the weapon as well, but those plans have been put on hold…
  • ... server and charname of the store are in my signature Jabq. You dun' seem to read much :smiley: Post-merge I've started to sell more stones then pre-merge. Probably a higher volume of players on the server now. The cats that previously were there sold common stones for 16k9, I have had my price at 15k8 from day one, and…
  • Morai perspective: That's probably 'cause Sins were so frecking easy to level on a PvE server back when Autoculti was new... People have had high-level sins longer, so they've learned them well. Dawnglory still has a heavy sin surplus - it shows in the FSP calls. The cleric "metalmage" syndrome kinda stems from BP making…
  • On Morai/Dawnglory this is often solved by some strong toon dragging Jewelscalen over and letting it's AOE wipe those clickscript drones. But clickscript digging the grinder isn't the worst of the botting issues. Easiest fix for this has been proposed multiple times: On having the Perfect Fruit and 3 Perfect Flesh,…
  • Your faction leader probably salvaged it or it got destroyed when your leader redistributed the faction base tech points. Either way, you'll have to rebuild it, the faction leader can initiate the process if you have the materials.
  • Something to consider: When coming back after 5 years, it'll mean you'll have one of the legacy classes. These are generally in demand for PvE purposes (Seeker, Cleric, Veno, BM and Barb mainly. Archer... not so much). There are a lot of players still there, but you'll have a TON of catching up to do. Rebirth x2 - if you…
  • Simplest solution - just have an alt healer (cleric works best) in party as 6th toon, park it at the other boss on a self-heal macro to hold aggro. Cler works wonders - Spark, Demon Celestial or Sage Spirits Gift, IH on repeat, doesn't even need good gear to survive indefinately. A cler also can help in gathering the 60…
  • That works until someone undercuts you - unless you set your margins so low that noone -can- undercut you by any meaningful amount. 's what I did with my StoneSnake (common stone catshop): I run high volume with a small profit (10% above the cost of the shabs required to make the common stones), and have a bunch of alts on…
  • Just stow the insignias in your cupboard for next year...
  • Truth be told, even one dedicated GM that would remove some of the more excessive cheaters from this game would likely start to make a difference at all servers. Simple example: I know of at least 12 characters that were on autopilot before autocultivation was implemented, and have since then switched to automated mining.…
  • ... not sure if a public game forum is the best place for a memorial. Prolly better if, no pun intended, a mod tombstones this thread.
  • Yea, guys, please synchronize the event server and main server clocks. It's causing problems, not just in the NW - there's a 5 minute difference between the outside and inside of Flowsilver Palace for instance (which is also why the enter flowsilver quest doesn't autocomplete)
