@sylenthunder Do you think this is also true?tictic99999 said:so back to the original question because i don't care about all the other random stuff... I just want to know what the SvS tw rewards are. Also, we do know what the servervserver nw will be:
1. it will replace old nw
2. 4 servers will be involved
3. nw token total rewards increased to roughly 1.2million, that is a 17x increase for a 4-5x gain in players.
4. if your someone who tends to get say 250 per nw, you will be getting easily 800-1000 or more.

I haven't spent any time paying attention to the original version in China. It may be, but I cannot verify it. There's always the chance that something got changed from what they have in China, to our specific version.xskysoldier wrote: »

Most likely it will only be verified after it's either announced, or more likely, we go and find out for ourselves the hard way.0 -
If I had to guess the time SvS NW will happen, based on the UI Aster posted, it'll be same time as it is now.ZentVedr - Retired at last. Or am I?0

my source is china's version of the game, when they had their (8?) servers merged into (4?) servers and they got SvS nw, their token payout was 1.2m

Interesting, and it's certainly possible that the amount will get increased. I'm assuming PWE is going to be less competent than China though and here's what will most likely actually happen:
They will pick one of their unused servers to run NW on, probably an east coast one due to central location between west coast and eu. They will forget to change the token amount because none of them actually know how the game works, and we'll be splitting the amount that a dead server (say Harshlands) used to get between four servers.
Remember they didn't change the token amounts when the merges happened. So we'll end up with 8 servers worth of people fighting over 1 server's token amount.
There will be massive QQing on the forums, eventually the next community manager will notice it and someone will send a request to China to change the total. China will sit on it and we'll maybe get the change in a year, by which point everyone will have adjusted to the new economy and the change will **** everything up again.
Perhaps I'm overly pessimistic, but I'm taking into account PWE's past track record here.0 -
I mean no offense when I say that China has 56 servers iirc. So I am gonna take this number with grain of salt.tictic99999 said:my source is china's version of the game, when they had their (8?) servers merged into (4?) servers and they got SvS nw, their token payout was 1.2m

Happy with the 11th now they have posted it in an arc newsletter.0

@asterelle do you have to pay coin for this. if you have any idea. Looks like only 3 people can be chosen and voted for. Interesting way to remove coin from the game if so.0

Again info from another version: they bid money and then 3 ppl who bid most are left and ppl start voting for them.

You can see how it works in the bottom two windows and the right window.
It looks like bidding is done with 10m notes for half an hour then people have a day to vote on it.
These windows are options in the bulletin board NPC we had for a bit I think.
Oh and I'm assuming this UI will be cleaned up in the patch. They should be making them bigger to fit the text.0 -
Intresting...
Yer ive had a look and it does need a clear up. The Wording is well... ER... Standard Google translate..0 -
For me there's way too many things I'm worried about. First of all the insane LAG. Can we assume you guys will at least get some higher server capacity or something? After the servers merge, current NWs are a pain, don't wanna imagine 2000+ people in one NW.
Secondly, it looks like it will be just too much of it, NW twice a week, that Battle for Treasure Island (once or twice a week I assume? ) And when will you fit in the TW now? Are we going back to TWs on frida? so it will be like 9 hours + a week of PVP? Sorry but even for me it's too much.
I rly hope the times of the new events will be European friendly, not just US.
Are the NW rewards going to be increased? Imo, they should have been increased as soon as the server merge happened, but with this expansion it will be just silly if you don't increase it.
When can we expect a TW map reset after the expansion kicks in?

Who says one has to attend all 9+ hours of PvP? Just because you don't want that does not mean the rest of us don't either. I most certainly do not opt in for every PvP or PvE event. I do only as much as I want to. Oh and remember when PWI updated the NW map with double or 3 times the amount of lands and people were complaining because battles were being won solo or with 2 to 3 players per battle so they reverted back to the old map? (they introduced this bigger map because there was a lot of QQ about being base-locked and the battles had reached maximum player capacity and when they reverted the map back to the one with fewer lands and added the crystal and bridge contests they also increased player capacity per battle to deal with base-locking). Well if 2000+ people (I highly doubt that due to certain restrictions and nation commanders et al but I digress) were to attend cross server PvP I really think that map with double or triple the amount of lands would be back.kawosz said:For me there's way too many things I'm worried about.

EU vs US times. Can't satisfy both. It will need to favor one or the other. I think will favor US times due to 3 servers in the US time zone and 2 of those servers on the west coast so at the very least we could see the NW times set for the east coast server. I hope that's the case.
NW rewards should be based on the amount of lands the maps have.Post edited by jadasia on0 -

Say what?Faq page 2
Responses are in blue.For me there's way too many things I'm worried about. First of all the insane LAG. Can we assume you guys will at least get some higher server capacity or something? After the servers merge, current NWs are a pain, don't wanna imagine 2000+ people in one NW.
Educate yourself about what causes network latency first.
Traceroute, pinging, the internet, and you
The biggest issue is going to be FPS drops due to the aging game engine. That's mostly on your PC's end and not the server.
Secondly, it looks like it will be just too much of it, NW twice a week, that Battle for Treasure Island (once or twice a week I assume? ) And when will you fit in the TW now? Are we going back to TWs on frida? so it will be like 9 hours + a week of PVP? Sorry but even for me it's too much.
You'll know as soon as they announce it, or as soon as it's in-game.
I rly hope the times of the new events will be European friendly, not just US.
For cross-server events, that is not very likely. Hopefully they at least base it on Eastern time zone, but since they are in California, I doubt it. Most likely all times will be PST.
Are the NW rewards going to be increased? Imo, they should have been increased as soon as the server merge happened, but with this expansion it will be just silly if you don't increase it.
Again, you won't know for certain until it happens or is officially announced. It's already been stated that it should be though. Considerably even.
When can we expect a TW map reset after the expansion kicks in?
Most likely, but once more, you won't know until it either happens, or it's announced. Neither of those events have occurred yet. If you read the forum at all you would know most of the answers I gave already.0 -

Ok, this FAQ is what you were talking about.FAQ is on page 2 and answers the question "When can we expect a TW map reset after the expansion kicks in?"

In there you have...
Q: Will the TW map be reset with this update
A: PWE have confirmed it will not and have not given a reset date
Did they do this publicly anywhere? I haven't been able to find it. I know they haven't given a reset date for sure, but history shows they'll do it with the update.0 -
I guess I'm fortunate to not have latency issues at all. My FPS drops in crowds but I never had an issue in NW or TW. BTW Sylen, I purposely did not target you in TW last night however I did use your leader to test a few skill combos, lol.0

LOL I didn't really care in that fight. I was out just messing around and wasn't even using auto-pots or def charms. It was a lot of fun playing with Kooky who kept barraging the catas. I was a bit surprised though that my FPS didn't drop as much though. I suppose the RAM Drive helped a bit with the SB skills; but TBH, I didn't see that much of the new classes in that fight. Every time I turned to go heal Ria, I got dropped by SilverSin, (I think that's the name), hitting me for about 200 points over my max hp.
I really need to work on my gear too. Merely +6 currently. I barely get daily quests done, much less spend time farming.0 -

LOL! I hope you all had fun. I play in window mode with another client running too. I think my FPS went down to 12 to 15 fps (at the crystal with everyone there and the barrage) at the most but I had other stuff going on in the background too. I use a laptop with 16 gb of ram and a dedicated GPU and an I7 CPU with 4 cores.
Being a cleric you would be a primary target for our sins. Our faction has a lot of venos but not many of the new classes yet. We can use a few more SBs. My squad had 4 venos in it.0 -
i love how the whole "its all the users fault" attitude returned. if certain people keep this up, im sure there are not gonna be many threads left to destroy anymore in the future.
an entire server DCs multiple times -> users fault.
everyone has performance issues in tw -> users fault.
crystal maps in NW running on a wrong servertime which makes long cooldown skills, pots, charms unable to be used by EVERYONE -> users fault.
seriously, stop that!0 -

What are you even ranting about.
This thread isn't even about DC's, that generally is not the user's fault nor is it PWE's fault. Users barely get blamed for it, the problem is they don't even try to listen what is being said about how the internet works and why lag/dc's happen.
The **** performance in TW, who is blaming users for that? It's widely known that PWI performance is complete **** because the engine was build to run on a toaster, with the additions they made, they should've upgraded the engine to perform better, which they still didn't.
No one is blaming users for the crystal thing, that is a legit PWE problem they should fix but are just ignoring it for whatever reason.
The way you respond is the reason others respond to call users idiots.Post edited by dblazen1 on

An entire server wasn't DCing multiple times. Just large regions were. Blame is placed on the internet, not the user.
(And if any of you whiners could run a traceroute or read information, you might know that.)
Everyone having performance issues in TW. Did you look at the thread started by our CM?
Out of 30 direct responses in that thread, the score is FPS 29 ~ Network Latency 1. And the 1 for network latency stated it was most likely on their end.
It's obviously an issue with the client not being able to keep up with the workload being put on it, and that is only exacerbated by people insisting on running the client on PC's that don't have the capability of playing Frogger without a FPS drop.
I've seen a lot of stupid replies over the years, but yours just adds a whole new level of stupid. Try reading and getting your data straight before you post again.
Oh, and there's hyperlinks provided in this post. You're supposed to click on them and go read. The purpose of reading is to educate yourself. We're hoping you might get a glimpse of reality while you're at it.0 -
One itsy bitsy comment on user fault.
I assumed, i am sorry for that, i should learn not to assume. I assumed everyone knew that pwi is buggy, faulty. Since we know it is buggy and faulty, if you have problems that are not caused by the bugs, faults, chances are that it is a user related issue.
Back to the topic, are there special prizes for rankings when doing the solo tower? or just a ranking system? I presume the screen outlook would be like pq quest list. Main window - highest totals only, next few icons = each class high score?0 -
Users will be users.ZentVedr - Retired at last. Or am I?0

Im not sure where the understanding of its the users fault comes from. Many problems come down to the internet not the servers and not the client computer.
This is not the thread to continue this in anyhow.One itsy bitsy comment on user fault.

Im going to assume its a InGame System rather than a web page. really we wont know until tomz. This includes the rewards. We are not going to know a lot till it happens.
