I don't know why people keep misinterpreting what Frankieray said like this.

indefinite
1. not definite; without fixed or specified limit; unlimited: an indefinite number.
2. not clearly defined or determined; not precise or exact: an indefinite boundary; an indefinite date in the future.

So, he only said that they didn't have a specific date yet for removing them, not that they would never be removed.

You're arguing semantics really. For all intensive purposes, with the exception of a few weeks here and there, packs have almost continuously been in-game since they were first introduced.

Now they have a pack that has no projected removal date. Perhaps Coaral Packs may yet be removed, but there will always be a pack in some form or another.

Has you remembered to mention Packs?

I don't think so, Hammy. :P



Yes, people. Keep believing that the packs will be removed eventually. Indefinitely could mean years from now when the game is in ruin and all that's left is the people who can afford to spend hundreds of dollars on the game per month to even enjoy the game.
Yeah... I'll believe it when I see it.

Fixed that for you!

Anyways, I was only talking about the Coral Packs, and since what Frankieray said was being misinterpreted, then of course I was arguing semantics. How else can one point out that what someone said is being misinterpreted? b:puzzled

Nothing you said above disagrees with what I said in the least. In fact, you're basically agreeing with me, so I'm not sure what your point was. :-P

Misinterpreted? *shrug* Yes, I misinterpreted the GMs when they said Jolly Jones would be a coin sink and help reduce gold prices. I misinterpreted the GMs when they said TW pay would be elimitated to reduce gold prices. I misinterpreted... oh wait...

My point was, ever since packs were introduced, there will always be packs. Packs will be in PWI indefinitely. Whether or not any specific pack is or is not really doesn't matter. The term 'indefinitely' might as well equate to 'permanent' :P

MANray_ - Sanctuary

There's a good reason packs are likely to remain in the game permanently... They freaking SELL! Now, i'm by no means calling for a boycot of any kind, but merely pointing to a fact. A large part of the comunity (including those who complaint the most about packs) either benefit from buying packs themselves or use the objects contained in them, wether tokens, gear, etc. I'm not by any means saying they shouldn't. I for one i'm glad to find 9k teles with gold prices upwards of 400k and packs are the reason i may one day hope to afford a frost wep. Yea, they do demean actually having to play the game to obtain gear and armor, but the damage is done. Already high levels have likely obtained enough from packs they might not be overly impacted by their being taken away, but the position this would come newcomers to the game in would be disastrous. And the game's health does require a certain influx of new players which can't be simply put in a position where they won't ever be able to afford what is now considered average gear, much less compete with the elite.

Packs are not the issue per se, the demeaning of in game work and effort is. The balance towards cash shopping as oposed to actually playing has shifted dramatically and this is the situation that's in dire need of adjustment. Packs are merely the most conspicuous of contributing factors. What we need is a new tier of gear and weapons the average player can actually aspire to, and that can only be gotten through in game means, preferably through new content. Rank IX is nothing but a pipe dream for heavy CSers...

Unfortunatley is the mid to long term scenario that's troubling, as PW may be well entitled to provide advantages to those spending irl cash, but needs to also be concerned about providing an enviroment in which you would want such advantages, which is precisely what's being eroded. Already there are instances and content meant for the high leveled ubergeared elite, what about the rest of us? It's already less than 200 people on my server that can take advantage of events such as celestial tigers... Do you want a game that's only geared for 200 people on each server? Oh, but i forget, what the elite wants now it's server merges...

Regardless of what they give out for the 2nd year anniversary, you can be sure there will be SOMEONE who QQs about it. Personally, id prefer a aero for those of us who have stuck with PWI since launch. But who knows what we'll get.

Piliener - Lost City

My best guess is they give us...wait for it


Forsaken World a prieview


More likely another patch that causes more rubberbanding and maybe some charms on HH mobs/bosses while they're at it. I don't think HH is hard enough yet

CTRLotus - Sanctuary

Perfect world international is dead. Whatever they do, it isnt going to change the fact that they're loosing players left and right. Before they got rid of it (which already proves my point), there was a thread asking if PWI is going down hill (found here: http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=844162&highlight=hill ). 27 said yes, 10 said no. Unless they start fixing things and listening to their players, they will loose their most profitable game. I've sceen threads where people actually talk about other games on these forums. Mods seem to only look at General Disscussion. People are talking about moving back to old games, as well as stalking the devs of new ones! PWI needs to listen to the players. The only updates ive sceen that i dont like are the hammer pack things (1m / hammer), and the DQ drop rate nerfed, as well as the unplayable content that has been introduced (IE Chappel). Shure, some of the player base is going to go to FW, but most are going to leave PWE, probably for good.

Rambox - Sanctuary

I really hope this PWI 2nd anniversary update give us something good and fix some of the bugs everyone always talk about. PWI used to be a great game and I still believe that it can be done again.

Joshcja - Sanctuary

oh and cash shoppers will get a boost (they pay for it so meh kudos to them and no complaints)

I guess 37 votes these days represent entire communities. Especially when only a minor %age even come on the forums. b:surrender

Why do people even take statistic classes when you only need to analyze 37 votes out of a few thousand to understand what people truly want.

Woneo - Harshlands

They'll give everyone whoes been around since the beggining 10,000 mirage stones

/end thread.

Maybe...

New Flights:

• Violet Shimmering
• Nocturnal Malefic
• Crimson Sunset
• Silver Constellation

New Mount:

• Iceplume Sparrow

New Fashion:

• Sapphiere Set (male/female)

SilverCleric - Lost City

Here's my thoughts about the 2 anniversary.

~ PACKS!

~ Maybe a new mount for people who have played since the TB first came out.

~ A sale of some type. ( maybe D orb 1s or Hypers or something )

~ A new air mount for everyone to buy.

~ A new land mount for everyone to buy.

~ 2x exp and spirit event

~ More Bugs...

~ Lastly some new content that will make it for difficult for people to continue playing the game..


That's what I think they will put in for the anniversary and I think they are going to add a patch today... b:surrender

Awesome, free mount, extra exp and a bless box which is actually balanced in PvP. No complaints from me.

Lol, only useful for barbs, clerics, and maybe BMs. There are a ton of people out there that still have Jones Blessings, and it still is up.

Edit: However, if they get rid of all Jones Blessings in people's mailboxes, then it is THE BEST patch PWE's done so far in front of my eyes.

Edit2: Oh never mind, it's only for 90 days D;

lolmuop

double exp for the ENTIRE MONTH!! L0L

Peaceful - Sanctuary

NO 2x drops! And edited removed join dates! Get this it says last time i visited the forums was 12-31-1969. wowow i get all the good stuff then! yipppeeeee!

Can't disagree with that. Or even just change the Jones blessings to +15/+15 like these. =/

wynndyc

MsEvilness - Heavens Tear

Very disappointing... I expected, at the very least, double drops and better (or new/renamed) packs.

But no, PWI are so lazy that they've just brought an old pack back.
