Were in ur spot, zhenning ur mobs!b:chuckle

But seriously, the event was great fun this time around. My only real complaint is that there really arnt enough mobs to go around. Not even close.

But then again, sitting there fighting off various sins, BMs and factions trying to ruin our Zhen was great fun. So I dunno, perhaps the amount of mobs was perfect b:laugh

So.... Lets make this permanent!

Be it weekly, bi-weekly or even just monthly, I wanna see more of this. Vote if you wanna see it more too!

    Yet ever so briefly brought back by a simple event :)

    As much as I agree the Devs ruin this game more every patch, I still think PW is great fun when its being fun.

    And yea not so much a lost art il agree.... Every so often there is a zhen group on the pirates at Nightscream Island :p

    Not going to lie. I would LOVE to see this event stick around. Though the major downfall to it is that it injects TONS of coins into the economy with the high drop-rate of the mobs.

    For example, my wife and I participated and made roughly 2m profit in a 4 hour time period just killing the mobs one by one.

    I doubt it's as much as comes in over 1 day from best lucks.

    b:sad I never got a chance to participate in either...

    I mean it's freaking friday night, i would love to actually participate but couldn't they try choosing a timeslot that doesn't require you to give up on your social life?

    Or just wait for 1k/DW legion attacks. They're the same mobs/drops the same thing.

    Me and my guild tried this out today for the first time, we had so much fun. It was tiring and I was in BB most of the time but we had so much fun. I would love to see this weekly, I miss this kind of play style.

    So first you want times special for European people, and now you want them to change the day just because of your 'social' life?

    Beg much?

    Meh I wouldn't call FC zhenning if actual attacking zhens aren't even needed and a cleric doesn't have to pop a single MP pill in BB.

    LOL, have i ever asked for special treatment? It's friday night in the US too since i'm in Mexico, not Europe. And yeah, i may not be going on all night benders like i used to some years ago, but to me friday evenings are still about having drinks with friends.

    Why is the sole concept so offensive to you? I realize YOU may not care much about it, but playing an MMO doesn't mean you have to give up on other ways of having fun.

    And is that the sort of cute answers you would provide posters as a mod? b:cute

    I'm not saying it is, and was honestly waiting for someone to make that comment. b:chuckle

    Though I am saying that it's more available to the people who don't cash-shop, which makes it available to a wider player base.


    Not saying it's "10m Big Note Trade" bad, but it's definitely not great.

    Ha! I never used mijis or hieros for that matter. Probably why I didn't care so much if the party got crashed. Zhenning was basically pure profit + nice exp for me.

    Zhenning was fantastic, whether or not your party got crashed. World PvP existed way back when.

    Have you seen his level?b:shutup
    Its decent for his range.

    I'd like the archosaur attack to stick around,BUT i don't want it to be a weekly event like it is now.
    Its always been a once in a month event, so just copy that from other PW versions.
    Oh and make boss drops free for all to grab, so not the same 5 ppl get all the drops every time its on :)

    Hello Perfect World. Look at your cleric, now back to me, now back to your cleric, now back to me. Sadly it isn't me. But if you stopped being a noob and started wearing sunglasses you could act like you're me. Look down, back up, where are you? You're on Dreamweaver with the cleric your cleric could be like. What's in your hand, back at me. It's an inventory filled with the gear you want. Look again, the gear is now diamonds. Anything is possible with sunglasses. I'm flying on starter wings.

    -Would take forever since it wouldn't be worth it to the top DDs
    -Bosses would never get killed
    ->Too much exp lost
    -Guards will end up killing them for no drops

    Besides, they're mostly **** compared to endgame stuff anyways, what would you want them for? An alt that would only use for a couple of days?

    weekly for 6 months as an attempt to make up for the last 1.5 years of packs, too little too late for the ppl that have already gone.

    also implement NPC gold at a set price then.

    Are you serious? You do realize the bosses drop badges of bravery? Those things sell for ~10mil here. b:bye
