So i heard this rumor about pwi.

_Bloody_Fox_ - Sanctuary

I heard that they were thinking about making a new class or something...
Is this complete bunk?

Drazo - Heavens Tear

I really doubt it. And in the mean time I really think they need to concentrate in fixing the bugs/glitches otherwise they'll start to lose a lot of players instead.

Tearvalerin - Sanctuary

well, that "lose alot of players" theory is always made up bunk. as is the rumor of another class. any time we do have a major error (AH, coins on valentine day, duke rose) they got it fixed ASAP, theyre working on the cube while they can too. Id say they work pretty well :P.

Lareish - Harshlands

If the original Chinese version doesn't have a new class then... no.

This version is licensed from them, they don't have the freedom to make up their own class, just import additions that have already been released to the original version. And we tend to get those several months after it's ported into the Malaysian version.

Soho - Lost City

Most likely it's just a rumour - a lot of our content comes from different versions of Perfect World, so when you see it there, maybe you can expect it here.

Mind explaining how the malaysian version has more messed up things and no genies then? There's talk of some of em moving to PWI because the gm's there have almost given up.
Long version kept short - we get em from China only.
And that rumour could have started because people saw the whips and the guys in charge going ''ugh , no info right now''

I remember hearing from somewhere reputable, but cannot for the life of me remember who told me, that YES the Chinese devs are working on a new race that will presumably carry two additional classes. No idea what the timeline on that is or if it's even confirmed to be happening. Sometimes devs get sidetracked. That's all I heard though.b:victory

"somewhere reputable" without a source is the same as saying you heard it from the grand mother of a friend's friend.

"Somewhere reputable" was a GM or a mod on this forum, but I didn't want to come right out and say it. b:bye

Daerys - Sanctuary

I have no doubt that someone in the Chinese main office is working on new classes. That doesn't mean they will ever make it to any version, though. I would wager that just about everything that has ever been suggested has been "worked on" to some degree.

Until there is an official announcement from a PWE GM, it is just a rumor regardless of how reputable the source is. Even a GM comment in a random thread does not guarantee anything.

Aesthor - Heavens Tear

I demand the new classes have a naturally high EXP curve so that I may level it to 90 by the time all my other lvl 85 friends now reach 90.

Sky_stalker - Sanctuary

i have a wedggie 0.o

Griefer - Harshlands

The new race had some sort of necromancy if I recall correctly.

bobbling

I really don't know if it's just a rumor or something they're actually working on.

XxRaynaHeart - Sanctuary

The rumor is fake.

PWI had no time to create an all new class, a city to put it in, the time to name it or create the skills or the weapons and armor it would use.

If they do, it would create a lot of chaos. Since all 3 races are already fitting, there's no gap to fit a fourth wheel, unless they make the next class all around perfect.

And the GMs would never accept that, people would stop playing because of the imbalance.

So another race would be most unlikely.

Xxfrostxx - Harshlands

prbably not since...there are 3 races so that means making 3 new classes....that would take longg....also there are alot of bugs and glitches found everyday...they should fix those ..although that would be cool having new ones...or a new race maybe.?

Im sure if they wanted to they could make a whole new story line like they could make 3 more races and have them at war with each other too and we all meet at arch and ta da its back to being the same except u could have more places to go more TW land but just so u know its easy enough to get a new class/classes into the game

(I'm more interested in bugs being fixed right now though)

Crucifix - Harshlands

I highly, highly doubt it.

The "company" which is the sole designer of our fabulous game is already working on tons of other games.

Look up Battle of the Immortals, ect.

Only partially true actually. Yes there are other games being worked on currently, however the development team responsible for PWI continues to work on PWI to this very day. We take great care in the continued development of all our current titles, regardless of whatever other projects we have on the table.

Dalgon - Lost City

i reckon PW should buy itself free from PW in china^^
but there is no way thats ever gonna happen

OMGLAZERZ - Heavens Tear

Someone I know who said they heard it from their sister who heard it from her second cousin twice removed who had heard it from their best friend who knew someone who lived down the street from a guy who worked there said that they had overheard someone say that they'd heard....

Tiaque - Sanctuary

I believe the "somewhat reputable" source comes from this:

[PW] Arius (eldavius): Question: [Cpact]Blaster (blaster52): Will there be more races

Answer: Yeap, there is definately gonna be more added races in the coming patches. Is has something to do with the Undead & Necromancies. We will keep you updated, once we have more on it.

However, this was months ago, and coming from someone who played the Malaysian version, their GMs have...issues when it comes to reliability.

If there is a new race coming out, it'll be many many months before it comes out in the Chinese version, and quite possibly years before it hits PWI. I wouldn't worry about it too much right now.

Well there is no such a class as a bard in this game - buff specialising class.
Yes you can get a squad with all classes and get all possible buffs you want, but sometimes all class squads are simply not efficient. b:cute
I played an online game which had far more classes and races than this one and was balanced, even though they could cut it down to 6 classes which exist in this game. On the other hand they had such things as Raids there - you could join 4 squads together and cooperate in the same instances and talk in the raid chat...

Really?

Then why are these bugs still not fixed? :

1 - Forrest Ruins : closed down for 17+ months because of an exploit allowing people to reach the end reward chests without having to actualling bother with the mosnters on the way.


2 - Monthly and Yearly Horse Races : closed down for 17+ months for an undisclosed reason. There was talk of an exploit allowing players to take shortcuts throught the races, but there was never any official statements about why it was closed.


3 - City arenas : closed down for 7+ months, withoiut any official statement as to why they where closed.


My feeling : all good developpers where moved to newer games development projects, and PW is stuck with underskilled developpers in training, that are then moved to other newer projects as soon as they show some talents. In other games such bugs would have been fixed in a matter of a few days or a few weeks. 17 months without a fix show how little the developpment company care about this game.

wow - waste of wages, and if the game has only been open ~september last year how has it been 17 months?
