Perfect World: Genesis -- New Expansion announced!

volst

#4 seems to be an attack/def bonus on rainbow TW squad.
Last one seems to have something to do with rank8. Set bonus maybe?

Anyway, they're making the game too easy now. Drop rate is enough, don't need atk/def levels too.

Even with only 50% rate, 6 aps squad will still be superior since they'll finish 20 times faster, and dont have to share loot with all 10 people.

FF exp will already incredibly reduced with 10 people that +50% won't do much.

I'm putting my bets on rumor and wistful thinking.

But! to balance the things:
1. Teams will be for up to 10 players.

9 man 5.0 squad b:faint

TBH reads to me that they will increase the number of armour pieces needed for an add, and maybe reduce them from single pieces.
Whats interesting is that it mentions "singing" which afaik is channeling .. So maybe if they make it harder to get -int they are going to make it as a balance just as hard to get -chan ..

Hmmm wait and see i guess

Maybe should put in your post with the translate that it is not from official PW, just speculation from their forums? Would cut down on rumors drastically.

The rainbow squad thing is interesting. I can see it now....assuming if they are true.

"LF rainbow squad members to help open TT. Paying $$$$!!!"

Lol....so true. This new expansion is going to bring some lulz for sure.

So, basicly a suggestion from PWE to instead of lowering the 5.0 aps cap, just making it impossible to reach , at least for sins. And some worries if the interval on rank 8 would also require 4 pieces of rank 8 equipment to obtain b:shocked. In which case, the changes would truly be a poorly disguised 5.0 aps nerf.

All that in order to maintain balance between the classes , and make players want to play other classes then sins. A noble goal indeed , and possibly needed to avoid pw drowning in the rising tide of sins...

And a suggestion from someone to improve PW in other areas instead, like more epic/rare pets for venomancers, making rainbow squads work better then solo farming.

Intresting. Perhaps Genesis is a fitting name on this change in more then one way. We'll have to wait and see what happens anyway.

My guess: 4.0 - 5.0 aps sins will still be possible, but only at a much higher cost then today.

improve pw in other areas sounds nice. i reapet myselt coz on other sever ive played veno and it was the cheapest clas there. here its the most expensive one coz of the pets. so here if u dont wanna invest money in the game u can forget to play as veno. and thats unfair. all other class is the same but as a golem veno u can forget to find a squand if u dont have a herc. beside u have to upgrade ur gears and weapons like other class. 9999 items for a herc thats crazy and i have to watch how many money the players invest in that game makes my **** to boil. i lost the joy of playing here, coz its getting boring see all the people grinding all the time on hyper. the game looses its fun of different stuff like godless valley. ive played that stuff not just for exp. it was realy fum that just do the same all over again. i hope there will come some changes for other classes

Q: other sever ive played veno and it was the cheapest clas there
A: I think they still the cheapest too here.

Q: if u dont wanna invest money in the game u can forget to play as veno.
A: Let me check how many herc less 90+ venomancer, i think there a lot.

Q: all other class is the same but as a golem veno u can forget to find a squand if u dont have a herc
A: Not really, the initial class for squad is barb and cleric. (before 5 aps come) The rest is just a DD or squad support to make everything goes faster. And most non legendary pet owner comment that many venomancer with legendary pet is less use full because of how they depend so much on their pets. (kind of venomancer that lost in pvp once their pet death)

Q: beside u have to upgrade ur gears and weapons like other class
A: Venomancer didn't have to really do that especially for weapon parts and if the venomancer didn't interested in pvp, there no need for the best available equipment. (but of course on end game they should have much more better equipment)

Q: 9999 items for a herc thats crazy
A: Didn't every version of PW have 9999 SoF or PoF for Hercules and Phoenix ? Not just here. Though on some version they sell the ticket or large sum of legendary pet mats in item mall and of course much more expensive than buying the usual pack. (with average sof/pof gain)

Q: i lost the joy of playing here, coz its getting boring see all the people grinding all the time on hyper
A: Kinda agree, but not everyone doing it.

Q: i hope there will come some changes for other classes
A: I hope so, since it was one way to develop the game further more after we got 5 race to complete the elemental table.
(fire, metal, wood, earth, water aka human, elves, untamed, earthguard, tideborn)

edit: Note: this is confirmed to be a rumour. The source comes from a player from PW-CN that wanted to suggest this.

google translate:


My interpretation:
-> In order to keep player interests, 5.0 cap on atk speed won't get nerfed.
But! to balance the things:
1. Teams will be for up to 10 players.
2. Full-rainbow squads (on TT?) [made of 1 by each class] will have drop rate increased to 250%. BUT!!!! non-full-rainbow squads will be reduced by 50%.
3. Some dungeons (including TT, Rebirth, FF, etc) with full-rainbow squads will have atk and defense lvl +10, and EXP and spirit +50%
4. ???
5. ???

source

Now start discussion: this was a rumour thread from CN, or he got that info officially? : O

So basically, Rank8 will be the only 5aps, causing those people who "Demand to be uber" will spend upwards of $200k to get the rep required. They're nerfing the ability to farm TT's alone (again), and parties are going to be expanded to an unrealistic number which isnt needed. Yay...

Someone can't read~~~

Also, rank 8 does not cost $200k. Rank 9 doesn't even cost $200k.

Thats the way it should be.

Tbh i miss the squad aspect of the game. You make some great friends that way, not based on who has uber gears or whos pro or not. Having greater emphasis on squading (greater number or not) could decrease the number of the total high lvl noobs who have been running around.
