Mod Note (tm):

I'm going to go ahead and make this the official patch discussion thread. I'll be merging other threads discussing the patch into this one to prevent the forums from getting swamped with duplicate threads.

-Hawk

Some of the stuff in the incoming patches...

(full text here : http://pwi.perfectworld.com/news/newsubpage/content-update-5211)
Jolly Old Jones:

Jolly Old Jones is back in that Jolly mood again! Players will have a chance to exchange coins or Guardian Angels to Jolly Old Jones for one of two things:

Small Spring Pack


Has a chance to contain lots of useful items such as Oracle Quest books, Beautiful Shards, HP/MP restoration items, low level Molds, a Training Esoterica, or Scarlet Fruit!

Yay! More inflation...b:spit
Yay! Oracle mob camping again b:spit

Warsong City Dungeon / Bounty Hunter

Final preparations are being made for the Battle of Warsong City, and the daily Bounty Hunter quests. More information will soon be released!*

Boooh! The most interresting stuf delayed again b:infuriated
Dominance Blessing:

Players will now receive a blessing item to help them in all Perfect World INSTANCED Dungeons. Simply enter the dungeon and accept the quest that appears. This item provides the player with +10 Attack Level and +10 Defense Level. This Blessing lasts for 4 hours and is only usable inside the dungeon. Make sure you have enough room in your inventory to receive it!

Yay! (I think) Unless they also nerfed the drops to compensate?
Cube of Fate - Chest of Coins:

After completing the Cube of Fate, players will receive an additional reward called the Chest of Coins that contains 1,000,000 coins. You will receive 1 Chest of Coins if selecting the Reward Pack, or 3 if selecting the Mysterious Cog. However, because of the sturdiness of these chests,you will need a Perfect Iron Hammer to open them.

I hope you PWI guys realise that as soon as the gold hit 200k value in AH (something that is soon to happen I bet), this option becomes useless? Would would use 5 gold worth more than 1.000.000 coins to get $1.000.000 coinsb:surrender
PVP + Safety Lock

Shattered Gear

Shattered Gear is a new system being introduced to Perfect World.

More details please?
The quick skill bar has been expanded to accommodate more skills. Skills can now be allocated to the numerical keys 1-9 (previously 1-6).

Expanded the number of tabs it can extend to from 3 to 5.

Expanded the number of Buff and De-buff icons that can be seen on the squad list. Included a toggle on/off feature for the icons.

Good.
The gear list for genies has greatly expanded. Speak to any Watcher of the Earth and select Genie Summon and Gear to check out the new equipment! You can also obtain Wraith Badges to turn in to the Commander-in-chief for reputation points! *

*Note: Items obtained from the Warsong City event are needed for trade in. Warsong City Dungeon is currently unavailable but will be open soon!

Boooh! Once again, one of the thing I waited for the most is delayed.

    I am b:heart the extra skill slot allocations very much. The Dominance Blessing would also have been a great help when we did Lunar Squads this week, buuuuuut I won't hold that against you... unless drops got nerfed (they're already pretty sucky in there).

    I just want them fix the Rb teleport, thats it... but, no they wont.
    Fixes/Changes

    -Hot Color Packs no longer contain Random Pigments. Players will always receive 1 specific colored pigment.

    -Fixed an issue where Barbarians in Tiger Form performing the Ancestral Rage skill would become stuck in a running/rolling animation.

    -Fixed an issue where Venomancer were unable to change into Fox Form while unarmed.

    - All Cube of Fate Lottery rooms (51 - 59) require a certain amount of coins to proceed, or to receive the initial quest. Text for the Lottery NPCs have been re-localized to reflect this cost.

    - Twilight Temple Act II: Symphony of Fate - Removed the bridge that leads to the Astralwalker. A new NPC will now teleport players across to the platform.

    -Fixed an issue with the Chat Smileys had overlapping animations and were named incorrectly.

    -Mrs. Zoologist is now correctly named in the Coordinates Assistant.

    -Re-localized All Territory War Intro text

    STOP with the boutique stuff. Your ****ing up all the servers gold/coins ratio, coins are just about worthless now, everyone is trying there own brand of a get rich plan. And everyone is ****ed in the process.

    Ruining the game :/

    This thread isn't erotic...this thread isn't erotic at all.

    Events like jolly jones and zen sales are what's needed to keep the game going. Once people stop selling gold via auction house, the game dies. Events like this keep gold sales going. Necessary evil. Inflation only shows how worthless in game coin really is compared to the gold.

    GOOOOOLD!!

    its true i know this to be true if you come out with to much stuff at once and people dont have anything they want to buy anymore either they wont want to play at all
    silkroad did that and then had allowed boting at one point by introducing a bot systenmt that they sold to make money as they didnt have anytng else for sale people wanted that being said if you make a error and continue it because of greed you will end up ruining your game pwi do stop these insane sales every week if you dont you will end up like silkroad and have to create your own bot system that in itself ruined silkroad no1 can get on unless they do right after server inspection and then if you log out you are off till next inspection also the premuim player items will not i repeat will not work if the server is to full you will lag it down and every1 will just get them and bots to stay on it is bad period so stop with these sales so much pls!!!! thias is from personal experince i have seen great games die fast because of this! do not do the same thing! i love this game and dont want it to end up in the **** list after so much fun and such

    It's going to be a bloodbath, that's for sure. Oh well...

    I'm still going to take the skill bar expansion and the buff/debuff change (please can we still have timers on these? I don't ask for much >_>).

    Also, the favourite item at Auction House is useful and I like the fact you took out random pigments from the colour packs (that's a really decent thing to do). even though I always have a weapon equipped, I'm happy the barehanded FoxForm got sorted.

    Theres probably some other stuff I like, but it's 4am and I can't get to sleep b:cry.

    Seriously, this places the new average price of gold to just below 200k. People do cube all the time, and as long as they can get some profit from the boxes they will be opened. There will be so much more demand for coin, for hammers, driving the price up till it hits the ceiling of no longer profitable. Say hello, every server, to eternal 190-195k gold prices. Over 200k when sales come out (and then everyone saves the unprofitable cash boxes until the sale is over).

    I edited the OP of this thread to indicate that I'll be merging threads talking about the new patch into this one. It will be much easier to have a single thread discussing patch content.

    I understand there is a maintenance thread already at the top, but it doesn't explicitly say that it's for patch discussion, so hopefully this doesn't confuse anyone.

    i really don't understand this system:
    New Set Dye system.

    Speak to the seamstress in any city and she will now have the ability to dye all clothing of a set (you own combination) at once.

    This process will cost the total amount of pigments required for the set x2. The Set Dye system uses Random Pigments only.

    well since I never dyed anything I guess I wouldn't know...

    Wonder if someone can explain? b:pleased

    Cause it sounds kind of weird to me...

    Hot Color Packs
    Hot Color Packs no longer contain Random Pigments. Players will always receive 1 specific colored pigment.

    This sounds pretty good ^.^

    Since people are always complaining about getting that right color..
    Spoons is a very nice GM b:cute

    Currently, if you want to use random dyes on an outfit, you have to dye each piece individually and so you may not be able to match colours for the whole armour set you have. With the news system, as I understand it, you can dye the WHOLE set the same colour (random, but whatever it may be) at twice the use of random dyes... Did I...explain that better or confuse more?

    Umm yeah, curious about this one too... The key to a quick and easy asterwalker fight was the positioning and avoiding 3-4 of the adds. If we just get shoved right into the boss... gg and fail moar..
