Graphic changes - Radical suggestion

Emeryl - Lost City

Hi, first sorry for my english typing, I'm not english native and I know that I mess up with the words in a long post.

I'm suggesting this here but I know what means the thing that I'm asking for, most of the players will read and think "impossible".
But I want to suggest to give PW a new graphical engine, something more alike to Ether Saga or Jade Dinasty, who played can notice that they use the same game english for both games, even if they are so diferent graphically speaking.

I experienced two games that had a graphic upgrade playing online MMOs, that was Hero online (the changes in the time was so OMG whatta good looking), and Granado Espada, if you guys are thinking that only small games can have that luxury...

Why I'm posting this? I don't know how many checked the new game "Sun Online", serius It is like ****, just good looking, but is the same "go kill 2.000 wolfs to level up, then kill another 4.000 blue wolfs to level up", they are just another click-and-kill MMO. Perfect World isn't bad, is one of the most balanced game that I ever played, serius! But is one of the most greed and I wanna your money so badly that I ever played >_>

Perfect World population is slowy decreasing, who thinks that in the serve have many players should see how the things was in the last year, they indeed give to us new content everytime, but all of then are cash shop stuff, that with every new pack the server economy goes worse. I was totaly "wtf" when I saw the wiggs, It was like they are saying to me that they don't create good stuff because they don't want.

The game need some fixes here and there, Venomancer animations are boring, Cleric animations are boring, Tideborns style totaly owned the other clases, they even have fingers!! Pets don't have ground reduction and can cross walls because of the lack of programation, we can't give rides for people of the same sex (for me they should have two kinds of rides, friend rides like piggback and love rides cause I find disgusting ask for a ride and have the player kissing me without my permission, even if this is a game).

Sorry for the long post, but there are so many glitches that are hard to remember of then all, but comment please, thanks.

I agree with pratically everything u said, but the first important change they have to do ihmo is to re-establish the right economy in the game, getting rid forever of any "packs".

This won't happen, sadly there are so many players that spend money on these packs: this will ruin the game, sure, but i bet PWE prefers having 20k cash shoppers player than 200k non-cash shoppers player.

PWI is slowly becoming out-dated. Many other good free-to-play MMORPGs are coming out, so PWE has decided to exploit as much as possible cash shoppers here, untile PWI will die as all the others old mmorpgs i played.

They are simply giving everyone a chance to get to high level and high gear faster (obviously paying). This is good for the ones that are ok with paying for a game, and maybe PWI will have many players truly strong before its death. This is bad however for the game economy itself and bad for everyone who's not a cash shopper as well.

You like or not, this sadly won't change: PWI is losing popularity and in some years it will probably die. With packs, they just found a way to gain more money before the mmorpg die.

The true problem of PWI is in itself, in the malasyan first version: it has been created to be a too much long farming mmorpg, if u play the first version, it was cool, but to reach the maximum level with end-game gear you'd probably took many years of your life: there are some pieces of equip that requires like 400+ days of everyday farming to get them. In pure korean-farming-style lol. And surely this wont fit occidental way of play.

PS: with "death of mmorpg" i mean when it will have a quite total loose of popularity, like 80% less ppl playing it.

I don't disagre with the cash shop itens, but they should make then less overpower and cheap, something that is acessible to all but that don't make you a god. I don't belive in top cash shop players, I belive in cheaters, jump hackers and etc. If they make the itens too hard to collect people will try to make everything in the easier way, I remember when the reputation itens was more easy to get in the FBs, but when they add those itens in the cash shop the dropping rate decreased a lot.

Tideborn was a very good addtion to the game, according wikipedia the first PW release was in 2002, for a 2002 game in 2010 we should have more updates than a new class, our world map is small in comparison to other games, the way that some classes are enjoyable only in the lv90+ should be fixed (insert Wizz and WB here), It's pointless to play PK in low level, since we have great droping chances and a player with more levels than you can PK your char without have any penality, but I think that they need to work in the game before It is too late.

As far as a new graphics engine, no.
PWI is pretty much a localized (translated) form of the original Perfect World game from China, I believe. You need to realize PWI isn't doing a lot of programming for the game.

Maybe they're creating their own mounts and these special packs, because that's easy to program, heck the packs don't even need a 3D model, just a code and a picture for the item thumbnail.


An entirely new graphics engine would be impossible, as you say.
If PWI goes out-of-date because of graphics, then it's just going to go out of date. If you want better graphics, best learn Chinese (lol good luck with that, EXTREMELY hard to learn) and write to original creators.

Money is the universal language.

Dont speak Chinese? No problem.
Dont have money? Big problem.
