    And they've removed the compatibility to record with certain paid programmes. Just had an awesome xTW which I started my programme (which wasn't cheap) hit record and go to edit the video and there isn't one. Had the timer and fps rate showing it was recording but go to check the file and there is nothing saved..

    First it was fraps, now this one is affected after their *emergency maint*

    This brings up a good point.

    I'm sure that there are loads of people still playing on potatoes with XP. Or rather, there were. You can't run Arc on XP, so you can't play PWI anymore if you have XP.

    For what it takes to use that bug, you know you're violating the ToS by using the exploit. That was a just ban. It's pretty hard to use it and not know you're ****ing things up on purpose to bypass the way the game is coded.
    Also note that bans aren't to be discussed on the forums.​​

    So killing multi client apparently also affects being able to log out of one account then logging into another from the same screen. Nice. Be seeing you then.

    It was normal that everyone howled again. in other games multi-clienting or multi-boxing is completely prohibited. And you all yell around because your sales bots are not logable. I do not think so at all that finally made a break before it. many log in at the same time due to Jones quest simultaneously with at least 6-10 accounts at the same time. Just to make money, which is then sold on illigal websites. I think it's good. and it should also be stopped.

    Of the topics of interest I'd like to collect information on will be the following -
    2) Arc Platform Improvements (such as exclusives, meaningful content etc.)*



    * Please note on Arc Platform Improvements these will mostly be things like - making items/packs/content to give for being in the Arc ecosystem

    There already is arc platform content people want, the existing quests for zen, but don't people get permabanned for doing those? Why would we add more rewards for arc and participate in them knowing that?

    it's crazy ppl just wanna make a coin, given that nearly any way to make coin is now nerfed. Most games will actually allow some form of mutiboxing (term used for a 10 year old icelandic space sim that still cares and understands their customer and playerbase) pve has been totally doxxed in this game, everything bound, nothing decent farmable, economy like a third world country with inflation at 1000%. Why on earth would anyone new join? The issues are so easy to fix but pwi doesn't, just wants to milk the already dusty cow

    if the use of multiple accounts wasn't basically engineered by PWE's idiotic management of this game in the first place then multi boxing wouldnt have been a problem.

    the catshop system NEVER really provided really good functions when you literally had to set your toon after you do all the stuff you wanted to do.

    yes JOJ abuse is bad and should have been nipped in the bud much sooner, but they have constantly assaulted the ability of the game to function so if you actually wanted to play seriously, you HAD to have at least 3 extra accounts. now like 2 CMs ago it was stated you could have 2 accounts (older players could keep what they had) and you would not be banned if you only had 2 accounts per computer logged in at any one time.

    but they never fixed their systems to detect multi-bot usage properly, they never fixed their systems to allow more verification to be done without relying on an email account.

    so basically they make a change before they actually have a working fix.

    standard PWE.

    unless they have 20-100 seperate computers in one room, this should stop this as well.

    Lol the real reason GPU prices skyrocketing. Not miners it's the people running a million PWI catshops :D

    Lovely GMs/Support i know you dont want that People use Multi Client i can understand why you want to stop it but you Need see it from diffrent face not just from 1 side. I know many People use arc quest for get free Gold with a lot of accounts. But ist give also People who really hard work to get Forward but all the years i played pwi a game i really like its Comes harder and harder not only for new Player also for People who have *JUST* g16 gear of course this People try to farm coins without to go back to the only Option to cash but one sell follow after a other and the price for gold and many items are go high like hell alone if you look on r9 mats like GST long time ago it whas 4m each coins and now around 20m each. for this People is hard to farm Money fast enough w/o cashing and of course they try all they can and not all but many People useing Multiclient for farm Money for catshops or maybe to do dual dailys.
    Lovely GMs and Support sorry if i say that but all new Expansion you make it harder for us for the People who try to farm the coins and thats not fair too please lovely Support give us the multiclient back please

    Is this patch a permanent thing or just until the issue with Arc is solved? What can we expect in the next few days or weeks?

    I'm noticing a couple of people following Sylen's lead and switching their profile images. Anyone else care to do so?

    May not be any more effective than basic forum posts, but we may as well. It can serve as a visual reminder that this isn't something that we intend to forget in a couple weeks like a lot of past changes to PWI.

    Updated the image in my sig.

    I think it looks a little better without the cutoff edges.​​

    dude, how they will see it if they delete all negotive posts? I mean its my third post about this situation, they delete it for no reason. Who the hell is hell VS normal dialog? I said
    1) unlimited accounts (how it was before 02.07 update)
    2) make us startbypatcher how it was before. Ban only those people who violates ToS. Don't do inconvenience to other people.
    P.S. how many US dollars PWI USA need to get independence from CN developers how it was before? We can use kickstarter or other platforms. I am a bit tired of china dev team. All of us.

    PWE sitting on their hands for account sellers and buyers, but suddenly show an interest in enforcing ARC protections against account sharing (via implementing a last minute emergency patch)? It should be pretty clear to any reasonable player which is a more serious offence.

    And sorry, but a TOS that says you can take your customers' money but give us the bird is way past mere legality. People sue companies for considerably less.

    except you agreed to the ToS when you created your account and your character

    It's not OK to make coin by breaking the rules. Why? Because **** like this update happens... if you haven't gotten that clue yet.

    The best news i heard so far!!
    Kepp it like this.
    Maximum number of simultaneous clients should be 3. Your main account your listed catshop (oh yes you should register your account as a catshop) Otherwise use that boutique item. And the 3rd client your alt.
    Now i see people QQ to much. Well no more shared accounts suck it up. One day the toon loging from US and in the next hour from EU and then from Russia. Suck it up and stop abusing everything.
    Keep it this way please.

    Actually I would rather be able to log 2 or 3 toons from the same account rather than having to create a lot of accounts with different email addresses. If PW devs did that and allow a one time opportunity to port the toon from the alt acct to the main acct It would be awesome.

    We wouldn't need to worry about old accounts with forgotten email addresses and security questions, etc.

    Hmmm merge accounts into 1.
    Sounds interesting. But i think that would be an option for pwi on 2021

    Woke up to find out that I cannot log onto my shop account with all my big notes and keys on it. I seriously hope that this is a bad joke because its outright pathetic from the standpoint of a consumer.

    The fact that you claim to be 'fully aware' of what this will mean for your player-base indicates that you are either completely out of touch or you just don't care.

    Considering you sent an entire server of Americans to languish on a European server, I'm guessing it's the latter.

    There's so, so much wrong with this and it begins with ARC bloatware. I'd spell it out so that even the people who run this game and don't play it can understand it, but it would just be an absolute waste of my time.

    Been on pwi for many years now. but for now, I think ill go play another game until this mess is fixed.
    Ive got 3 r9rr toons on tideswell. Alot of coin and money and especially time spent to achieve that.
    How i see it is people are finding new and successful ways in the economy via catshops they have no need to swipe that card. Me being one of them.
    I can happily say ive been highly catshop reliant for a couple years now.
    Maybe thats pwe's way of saying players abused arc and such,,,,because we dont need to spend money....
    My opinion is, no DQ, No normal priced drops such as mirages and so on. And a few other ways even new players can make small jumps in coin make it force people to swipe their digits to get coin.
    Now that most of us can do it without a credit card.....no no no pwe says.
    Now dont get me wrong, IF there is a LEGIT issue with arc and some accounts being used in a neggative way, Then just simply say what it is. but being quiet about an issue that most of the player base doesnt even believe is the true reason for this duckery.......seriously? If you cant say what the actual honest issue is,...
    THEN SAY THAT. Dont dodge and keep repeating what it isnt about. Its disrespectful to players and to us people in general.
    Thats my piece.

    how about all the fourm mods go on strike until something is fixed, broken game = broken fourms



    That wont happen because that makes to much sense.....
