The Cursed [New Race]

Dimitrik - Dreamweaver

I really dig how much time and energy you've put into this idea. Very well done. I can see this matters a lot to you, too, and a lot of people (400+, from the looks of it) support you.

So again, very well done.

My vote's a yes. Not only because I see you've structured your idea clearly and thought it out, but because I'm a fan of variety. If anything Perfect World has going for it, it's that - variety. I sincerely hope the developers will notice this and give it consideration.

Cheers, mate.

CandyCorn - Raging Tide

i'm very suprised this thread did not die yet o.o and good ideas really. Hopefully this might be implented

Silvychar - Sanctuary

Thanks for all the nice comments, guys!

Really appreciate these. Well I still think this race idea was worth inventing and refining and so either can be put to rest until the next greater expansion (;P) or be used as a role model for upcoming newer ideas.

Vallenetta - Dreamweaver

This really needs to happen next expansion. I think it makes sense that as the world comes together against the wraiths that a race of darkness would arrise to help the cause against that which has caused them suffering. I almost get a feeling of these people where kidknaped and enslaved by the wraiths, darkening and twisting there humanity/souls by contact, and have now decided to rise up against them to take back their freedom.

lol I'm willing to join a petition to make this happen XD (btw did we ever get an artist to make pics?)

I like the idea of the starter outfit being bandages maybe with cuffs or something like they were enslaved by the wraiths

btw I super love the class ideas and I liked the idea of the flying mounts being chariots very unique

Kittennice - Heavens Tear

What ish this NOT doing on the first page?

Slightly altered the Night Hunter Male

Silvychar - Sanctuary

Looks quite nice, Kitten b:victory

But oh lord, the poor fellow has no feet! :O


And wow, you had the 666th post! O.O

Outlaw_Arch - Heavens Tear

i must say i feel like a fool for not looking at this sooner. you put alot of thought into this idea, it shows. the idea is VERY good. nothing like other new class thread i've seen. it would be an awesome twist. however, ith the addition of the earthguard i feel that there are enuf races as it is. too much of a good thing, is a bad thing. and i would think that something like this would be waaaaaaaay down on their to do list (after all, i'm sure they have their own plans they want in the game) but hey if the devs actually pick this idea up, i'll accept it with open arms it's really well developed.

XChrono - Sanctuary

Chrono here, from the depths of the rl, coming up for the last time until summer
Glad to see that things are still going on w/o me.

I still think its interesting how when we started this after TB everyone was complaining that they just added a race and they don't need any more and now that Earthguard is here, everyone is fine with it... Oh well
To me, more races= more fun
Plus PW is gonna keep on adding in order to get back players and gain new ones, because its the only way they can...

Kittennice - Heavens Tear

Nope nope. I had the 665th post x3
You haz the 666th
That number is a lie post ha ha
>.< I don't wanna have 666

Man I swear they stole your fighting stance idea Chrono
And the whole summoning thing Dx

-hasn't tried them yet-

>.> I still wonder if the similarities are only coiniky-dinks

ChibiTiger - Lost City

I'm ChibiTiger, and I endorse this message.

Kittennice - Heavens Tear

Where is everyone?

Silvychar - Sanctuary

Well, I'm here.

About the rest... dunno

Haven't seen neither Chrono nor Joker around these days...

Mighty_Bunta - Harshlands

you know, i think PWI still may bring out 2 more races some time in the future. ever noticed the area where the skill trainers are in archo? there are 2 houses on the opposite ends of the main area, space for more trainers. there is still hope that this may bome to pass

XChrono - Sanctuary

I have exams so i haven't really been doing much of anything lately, maybe summer i come back to pw but till then....

wish u ppl the best till then

chao

Silvychar - Sanctuary

Ah, then I wish you good luck, Chrono Do your best and see ya soon ^^

Ingemar - Raging Tide

I have a few problems with this idea.

Right now, we have the Earthguard. The one in Arch says, "Some people view us as monsters, but we are true to our hearts."

Now... if immortal beings who awaken to defend the world from evil are seen as monsters... how are the people of Arch going to look at Wraiths... even former Wraiths who are trying to escape from being so?

The way I see it, this race would have a lot of problems. People wouldn't want to sell things to them or only sell for inflated prices, and they would get attacked in Arch, or any other "good" place with guards. It might even be "open season" on them, and all players would be able to treat them like actual monsters, attacking them at will... since they more or less ARE monsters still. These would be ideas to support the concept that, although they want to be part of the good guys... they aren't, yet.

Now, I think there would also be some positive aspects to this as well. Wraiths would act favorably to them (since it's not like every Wraith knows what they're thinking). Any Wraith or monster lower in level than they are would ignore them completely unless they get attacked. This means being able to wander around the map freely unless you attack something, or are in an area that has monsters stronger than you. This would make them excellent farmers and miners, so it would actually be a double bonus and provide a nice boost to the in game economy at the same time.

Other than that, I think this is an interesting idea.

Well the other side will be opened eventually, why not start? Anyways, what about a race that is darker than any of the other races. Perhaps a race that was part of the Wraiths that are fighting for their humanity. No one knows of the race because they just parted from the other wraits and are still trying to decide right from wrong.

^ This.

I'm putting a bounty on everyone who dares to quote the first post ever again. Seriously.

As always, thanks for supporting! b:victory


@Sarix
Your meditation idea is quite nice. I can't exactly recall what meditation pose we agreed on in the end, but I think it was something similar...

Ogath - Heavens Tear

i have to say i missed my turn by a couple of pages.......and I agree with silvychar that meditation idea is great.

I still hope this can be made into a new race.

Just a question to add more debth to this race. each race has its own backround on the character selection screen. what will this one's be? FIre and brimstone? lol

Maybe we should try to come up with something

well bye for now

hopefully i'll be on more with summer coming.

XChrono - Sanctuary

IM BACKKK

tho technically i still have 2 more exams but meh

good news, ish, coming back to pw : D

so how are all u pplzz

and how is the race coming along

Silvychar - Sanctuary

Welcome back!

And well... the Cursed topic is kinda dead. But hey, we came that far. b:victory

Drsok - Harshlands

In stead of the night hunter you suggested how about a dervish but in a darker form.

http://www.gwpvx.com/images/b/b7/Isis_Shadows.jpg

Dervish is basicaly a light armor scythe class. It has high dph, self buffs, and a few good aoe attacks. The scythes are really hard hitting like a bow or pole ax but about the same speed as pole axes, pikes, ect.

There a class that has a tansformation mode but it only last 10-15 secs its kinda like a spark but its diffrent. Sparks are more of X ammount of dammage for X ammout of time and if demon or sage and additional attack speed or deff.

Transformations are like a self buff that last only 20 sec to about 2 mins through leveling skill and are affected by the path you take.

There is bacicaly 5 paths which you can choose to follow which are Balthazar, Dwayna, Grenth, Lyssa, and Melandru.

Balthazar- avatar of fire and war (pwi wise fire and physical)

Dwayna- avatar of live and healing (shes basicaly light) (pwi wise metal)

Grenth- avatar of death and destruction (dark) (pwi wise physical or something like soul force possibly some dot attack)

Lyssa- avatar of lighting(metal) and haste (pwi wise she is metal)

Melandru- avatar of nature and growing (pwi wise she is wood and earth)



I hope this sounds like a good alternative class ^_^

Kittennice - Heavens Tear

No, no die
Dx

lamesquiirelel

sounds awfully like Forsaken World (kindred race)

Silvychar - Sanctuary

You know what? Our race is much much older than Forsaken World itself, ijs.
They just stole our ideas... b:surrender

Kittennice - Heavens Tear

-nod nod-
Look at the time before you say a word

Kittennice - Heavens Tear

-coughs-

RKH - Harshlands

I say this is a good idea. And I was hoping for possibly a similar class to the dervish and seer in GW. Well laid out and complex suggestion. I like it! Hope PWI considers it.
