7 year anniversary! Hopes / fears / predictions / general discussion!

konataizumichan

Haven't seen any threads about this yet, but feel free to close if there is one. 7 year anniversary for NA PW is in 15 days! (Sep 2nd)

Are you guys and gals excited? I know I am! Do you think we'll get some awesome anni gifts? What do you hope to get?

Anyone else surprised that we're (supposed to be) getting new content released this close to anni?

Discuss!

Hopes: Free S Chests
Fears: C card from an S Chest ... ?
Prediction: They promise A Chests but due to client instability we get C Packs

cynderangel

But we just had the half anniversary x.x

White_Lie

more free mounts we dont want, some stale fashion, c-a packs, all combined with a log-in event.

oh and a 3x exp / 2x drops period (1-2 weeks)

unbarb

I hope they give us Drag Orb +10 as gift... Not everyone was there 2 years ago when a lot of players got 10+ for free

sindarella

new and exciting mechanics and systems that will boost the stats of our toons,
this will increase the planetary gap between cash shoppers and free players to a galactical scale.


grats on SEVEN years
that is a very long time to keep a game running, considering pwi barely has a support crew and no community managers.


special thanks to the volunteers who fill the void left be pwi. be it on forums, in game, with extensions, or tools! ​​

zoldickun

Maybe they will just forget it this time.

cococya

Fashion, please! ​​

I like all the suggestions so far ^^ And I have to agree with the fears and predictions too lol

To be honest, half the reason I started the thread was in hope that the powers that be don't forget >< What with the merge and Riptide and all that's been going on lately.

But assuming we do get something, my hope is that everyone gets it and it's not able to be abused.

A code for the anniversary fashion that we always get and complain about, that will then turn out to have a timer on it. And then everyone will complain about a fashion item that they didn't like and just NPC'ed other years anyway. This will be a massive thing.

A bunch of little redeem codes that actually make this anniversary, objectively, one of the best ever that people will ignore to complain about the other minor thing. Because nothing short of attempting to give away the kitchen sink will appease us, although if they do try to give us the kitchen sink people will complain that they broke it. Because of course that's what going to happen if anything of real value gets given away.

Also, a bunch of old players who don't even like this game, will come back to express their surprise that the game is still around. Play around on a game that they don't like a while, and then say that it's the game's fault that this type of game is just no longer for them and pretend like that somehow should've changed in past several years. These are the same players that will take credit for "calling it" as well when this game DOES eventually get shut down, as all games do. Even though many of them "called" it in 2009 and this game has survived well beyond many other freemium games since then. And indeed has been open a respectable amount of time.

Because of all the hullabo from something going wrong, PW will offer compensation that doesn't actually adequately address the issues laid out, probably in the form of a 23 hour 2x.

Then we all will claim that "this game sucks" and continue to play it (and throw money at it) until the day they actually rip the servers away from us. Because apparently this forum is a community full of gaming masochists. PW luv is our drug.

Also probably, 2x.

And this was so true I had to jump and do a praise dance for you venus. You can get anymore accurate than this right here

brithedarkangel#8032

Probally a boat load of ugly mounts worth only 1 coin, fashion set in which none of the colors match, hypers (like those are useful anymore), my all time favorite one of those old time chest (keep those hammers folks), a timed flyer, some perfect stones and some charms. <---Worst case

My hope random chance packs, event gold, a non timed rare flyer, a fashion set that colors match and maybe some big notes (had to throw it in there for the lols).

cira1818

i always love the anniversery, i miss the older celestail fash i did not get last year, the mounts i like i get again, hard to complain to a free speed 11, some speed 10 ok its better then a 9.5 or worse with some. i would really think a none timed flyer would be a new jump and nice! and always hard to choose who gets the reward x-x

foley3k

my predictions.
They will tell everyone that they will receive 5 War Avatar S Chests.
Then change it to S packs
Then will change that to 1 Free hyper, but only if you charge 500 Gold
Then change that to a total server merge, and the 1 server will run on a 47 Hour day.

eirghan

The same anniversary pack we've gotten for the last 2.5 years that anyone who opened it the first time can't benefit from it

this ^^ x 999999999

Also just to add. Those codes that Venus is talking about probably will be: Celestone fragments, pickaxes, random pigments and the legendary O'Malley's Blessings x3 that will glitch and give you just one

cococya

Well Val was, I think, our CM during last anniversary, when the blunder with the codes and such happened and he did say it was the last year we would get those special mounts we've been getting for the past years. I'm curious to see what they'll make of that, of course I think they've forgotten about it and they send the same stuff, but, hey, one can hope. ​​

Fixed ^^ and yeah I recall reading that too. Also that they were working on an all new system to prevent it from happening again in the future etc.

I hope someone important has taken or takes note of this.

Also shameless bump, this needs to be on first page till anni is here \o/

torquoisegamer

Hopes: lots and lots of exp and useful items
Fears: server crash due to lag
Predictions: Broken event NPC that they don't fix until day 2

skyurr

I hope they do not have this as a log in reward as they never work right.​​

mommacrow77

I think it will be same as always some event that doesn't work right or doesn't work at all. Some stuff we have all gotten for the last six years, and that most people will npc. Timed fashion, and everything screwed up so your new toons get the 6-7 year veteran awards while your oldest get first year ****.....every year they mess it up and every year players are upset/disappointed. I have 0 faith that it won't be messed up yet again this anniversary too.

Okay, so I'm one of those "older players who comes back and sees that the game is still up". I will admit that I do get burnt out really fast whenever I play ANY sort of game.

PW has been a game I am always going back to, play around some with it, then when I get burnt out, I'll leave again for a few months or even a year just to come back and play some more. As long as the game is up and running, then I will keep on playing.

To further note this information with what you said, you also have to keep in mind that other Freemium games that don't last as long are competing against games that are P2P. -snip- It's biggest competition is not other Freemium games, but a P2P game, and it's been doing incredibly well with that form of competition.

As for the anniversary stuff, I still have my fashion. It's my favorite one to actually wear. I also have my Anniversary wolf mount too. Not so much my favorite to use, but I hold onto it. Not everything is time limited like it's starting to move into as of lately. I hope the fash, mount, and possible anni flyer's don't end up being timed, as that would suck.

My hopes for PWI Anniversary this year will be a perm Anni Flyer, with the x2 added in.

Thanks, I fixed it as well.
I did ask the guys during the live streams, they said they'd already had plans but Jayson and Chris were mean and they didn't want to tell us details. ​​
