    I'm so glad I stopped playing this game pretty much, it's so screwed it's not even funny, 60% of it is the devs fault, the other 40% is totally PWE with there never ending sales and stupid additions to the cash shop...i.e these dragon orbs ever even entering the cash shop.

    I hope you all enjoy this "dead" money grabbing game, when 2012 comes, this game will officially die.

    Due to an critical issue that may cause a client crash, we need to perform emergency server maintenance in about 90 minutes.

    Please read.

    I'd yet again like to point out to some of the idiots on here, most of us dont' spend 24/7 STARING at the FORUMS!

    Although i thought i saw a post once last night somone mentioned they actualy did say something in game about it..... ONCE. So all the people that that happened to be looking at the chat log that second before the WC spam moved it out of sight at least knew the server was going down... b:surrender

    I'm curious Frankie, if it was causing such a problem with the client crashing, why do we not see any threads about people having that issue?

    It's time to man up and tell the truth here.

    Well i heard by many ppl ( heavy cash shoppers) that they send emails to support cuz of orb sale. So u guys can imagine about what it was. They were against this sale cuz they spent before tons of cash for orb 11 and 12. And now to know that every *** could get +11 or +12 was kinda borthering them.


    so far.. CASH rules PW..BUT if i am wrong than we would get again this sale back, but kinda sure we wont.

    Okay. I work as a game tester and I've tested MMOs / RPGs. I've seen items causing game instabilities, but these usually are (at like, 99% of the time) debugger and cheat items. That two items cause a stability issue is, to my knowledge and experience, pretty improbable. Especially since these items were already introduced before - unless the client was changed in a major way, or the items were also changed in a major way, I think it's pretty farfetched.

    Or, considering this is a dev company which fixes a mob-spawn exploit by nerfing the exp of said mobs...

    Might not be so farfetched after all... >_<

    Which reminds me. Does PWI have internal (or 3rd party-hosted) test servers, where items and sales are tested before being released? This might have prevented it... though I agree stuff sometimes goes wrong between the test implementation and the one done on playable servers.

    Actually he does have a point, it's a game there's no sense in crying over a pixelated item. Besides, you can make the +12 and even refine to +12 the old fashioned way. Sure these orbs made refining easier, but think a little. Seriously, the whole playerbase must be full of freaking morons.

    You are right it is a game but games need balance. To me the issue isn't so much about the item but how PWI has gone about it. It's been gone about in such a cack handed way as to only cause more imbalance

    To be fair could you guys at least put the 1* orbs back in the boutique on sale for the rest of the weekend or something? So many people stocked up on 1*s to make higher level orbs only to sell them after the +11 and +12 orbs hit the boutique. Now many people are only left with the high priced gold that they bought and no orbs to show for it. b:bye

    To be fair I was experiencing major lag after the maint two days ago. All day anywhere from 700 to 50000 ping. its gone now.

    So yea... but i think the lag and dorbs were unrelated. They obviously mispriced the orhs so they took em out, and fixed the lag so they'd be able to use it as a scapegoat as to why they took the dorbs out. When was the last time they had maint over server lag? Last i checked rubberbanding has been here for years.

    Rubberbanding? Are you referring to getting stuck in one spot for upwards of an hour? I haven't experienced that in close to a year now. Or are you going to ***** about getting stuck in one spot for 1/4 of a second, then being allowed to move again?

    Who knows, maybe the dragon orbs did have something to do with the lag. But as you said, they most likely didn't. Getting a straight answer from PWE on anything like this is like squeezing a rock and getting a diamond out of it. Not gonna happen unless you're superman.

    Like others have said PWI doesnt need a patch to remove items from the cs if that was the issue.
    patch was to fix the crashes, orbs removal being unrelated

    Noone will ever cash for orbs till this sale is back.
    I am sure,when you don t put these items into the boutique again(+11, +12), you won t make money with any other orb sale for a very long time.
    Put them in again!b:thanks
