If its a free for all game why dont every player has more archetypes? It doesnt need to be all but once you get to lvl 30-40 you unlock a new archetype , I mean choose one of those which are locked ? Thank you for your time!

    It's free to play, not ALL for FREE.

    So-called "premium" ATs are barely worth buying, anyway.

    Farm Questionite and turn it to Zen, do NOT spend money on any of them. At least since On Alert it is possible.

    Fixed. It loses its punch without the symmetry.

    Its "Free for all"-people, except Russia, China, Vietnam, North Korea and some other places that are considered vile wretched hives of villainy and scum and not allowed to play video games with us.

    You can get all the Archetypes and Freeform without spending any money. All you have to do is play the game, get questionite, and turn it into Zen.


    The only things you have to pay money for are veteran rewards and power coloring. This is one of the most free MMOs on the planet, and you're complaining about... stuff you can actually get for free.

    they are always worth buying if you prefer to say, shoot lightning not fire, and cant stand any of the non premium AT's.

    they should be free however, worth buying or not. people go gold because of freeform.

    i think you missed his point... no need to pay when you can just farm questionite to turn into zen for it

    I think it would be cool if at Level 40 for the first time as a Silver, you could get one free premium AT, or convert that character to a premium AT.

    u_u that would be dumb.

    They should give you 1 Freeform Slot for free the first time you get an Archetype to 40.

    Can't really say Free for All when the comment above is true. It isn't all for free, but its hardly free for all either.

    I thought TT has cleared that before, but.
    完美科技(Wanmei) and PWE are different companies in practice, the former one operates in China, recently obtained the right from Valve to run DotA2 in China, and most recently (a few days ago) purchased a whole Chinese gaming site. And the later one, PWE, well we all know that.
    I know Wanmei is going to get NWO running in China (after they are done with the government work), however the Westside Arc (Chinese gang summon a Dragon spirit and destroying Detroit? Hah!)alone would kill any chance of CO running in China.

    ...and since Wanmei and PWE operates on different fronts, and we are not getting CO in China, it's the usual practice that CO is region locked in China.

    Several of my friends in China has been locked out because of this. (they can still get on via other ways, and the launcher didn't lock region)

    Oh, and while I'm at it, I'll clear up one thing.

    LOCKBOXES ARE CURRENTLY ILLEGAL IN CHINA.

    Yes, you could blame ZT Online, the infamous Chinese game that invented the concept of lockboxes somewhat. But, because of exactly that game and the negative impact it has caused, the government has been banning lockboxes, and by extension any act of transferring currency in-game to real life money,(though other shady game companies has...ways.... to get around that banning) since...let's see... 2009. ZT Online has then been shut down and replaced by ZT2, which is a much cleaner game.

    So don't blame Wanmei and PWE for the lockboxes we see now.

    [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
    ...the ultimate Contrast Moe (or not).

    Look they are the same company it doesnt matter one bit that both bits do things diffrent its the larger Chinese part that runs the show and makes most of the games and has the final say. Thats like saying Marvel isnt Disney..

    I thought it had been adequately explained already, Nepht. PWI is used to operating games with server farms located around the world; they license for each of several regions. The subsidiary PWE, however, purchased Cryptic, whose sole server farm is located in the US. Unfortunately, in strapping Cryptic into their Procrustean bed, PWI failed to account for the fact that there's no local server farm in the Far East region, and licensed access to Cryptic's servers the same way as they do all their other games. It's not so much a "blacklist" as an excessively heavy-handed corporate bureaucracy refusing to deviate from the way they've "always done things."
