So your all excited at the prospect of making ascended rank 9 gear and can't wait to log in to find out what you need to do...DONT BOTHER.
Turns out they stripped wedding candies out of the formula, so you need 1200 uncanny and 300 raptures for each piece of armor and 4800 uncanny and 1200 raps for the weap.
At a generous 5 drops per Niv run that's somewhere north of 2000 runs..or about two years .
Guess what will be going on sale in the next few weeks at around 100 gold a pop...Summerwind Tokens (you read it here first)..
Oh and a laughed when i looked at the r8 reforge for existing R8 with pimped gears, gl getting those 400 chien stones...
Ring engraving, seems like the only place to get the materials is out of the new packs..opened 130 of the new packs and got precisely one best, one diamond of tiger, rest tokens (from gold I had on dw server from a while ago), so don't cross your fingers on seeing decent rings anytime soon.
Faction base doesn't apply to a lot of people as their faction doesn't have a base...
New crazy stone is ok, 480k exp not to be sniffed at ( 0.2% at my level..)
Order of Justice is 520k but guess what? You have to kill the party quest mobs so may as well party up and do a party quest while your there...
Nice update but it's very obvious no one writing this game actually ever tries to play it.

About the time Lost Empire came out. That expansion was definitely done by the original development team who actually played the game.
That was the first and only real content expansion. Age of Spirits... not really an expansion, but I'm not sure the original developers had anything to do with it.
I don't consider TB/EG character expansions to be content. They both brought very little content to the game and even their 1-19 quests and quest areas were skimped on.
Calling this new series of patches a content expansion is laughable. Half of it is stuff that should have been done ages ago or necessary fixing. The other random stuff is just that.I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.0 -

Unfortunately our marketing team has single handed roflstomped our game balance. China is at least semi-balanced still due to lack of r9/r8 sales and pack sales. Thus everyone here wants balance, but balancing our game means unbalancing theirs.BladedZero - Sanctuary

BALANCE -- is not a realistic expectation when profit is concerned. Competition is, and offsetting the balance is how to spur competition... which lends to more profit.0 -

tbh, i am kinda happy with the fact you can't get it from wedding candies. It makes nirvana actually still farmable instead of providing everything through cash shopping.0 -

And PWI can't figure out why player population keeps dropping. Duh.... Oh Oh lets wave another carrot on a pole in front of their faces and see how many chase it.
As far as the CS go at my current 101 level, if all I did was CS, it would take only 557.95 days to level.

I played PW-MY for over three years. Everyone said they were balanced. But were you aware that you can openly vend your toon, or sell in WC, or even WC that you are 'new owner'? Many OPENLY logged up to 6 accounts on the average to do runs, talked about it in WC and the forum? (it was survivability - to keep up with the game)
Did you know that the company partnered a gold-selling company, legally allowing the purchase of gold? That it was rumored the company that owned our game would ban accounts, and use them to bot for gold - which in turn was sold back to the gold sellers for players?
Did you know that hacking, botting was not discouraged and was continually done, talked about - even out in the open? That the company R8ed some players to farm high level/rare mats to sell for gold? One GBA went for what 400mil+? Most of my veno books - the rare ones were 250-300mil. The purple horse 40mil (not sold in CS). No we did not get more quests/drops - we were almost FORCED to buy gold from their partner company to keep up.
That getting R8 was virtually impossible unless you a gold farmer for the company, or spent thousands of dollars or farmed your butt off for years for reputation?
That Hercules and Nix was released ONCE in 3+ years? That updated were far and few inbetween? They ran Valentine's greetings until June. The servers were unstable, the help was nonexistant and the forums were a continual mess.
TW? Once three GM's entered a TW on the side of one guild and banned members from the other guild citing jump hacks. These were the power players and about 20 of them. Most left the game, and everyone was let back itno the game with it being 'non-founded' (not guilty of hacking/exploits).
They unbalanced the game - to ensure people HAD to buy gold from them and in doing so - set off more botting, hacking, exploits, and duel-clienting JUST to try to keep up and equipped. Getting your 99 gear was a dream there...due to cost and drop rate.
Yeah.. balanced... I'm pretty sure the same things are happening on the Chinese server. And PW-MY did not sell packs either. We all loved the game but honestly, it came down to - break rules or quit. There was no way to keep up with costs... w/o playing the game as everyone else did... and that.. is unbalanced.0 -
things in myen cost a lot more because of an exploit back in 08, trillions of coins were duped and caused an unimaginable inflation; you can farm and sell ultimate substances for about 500k each.
also, "gold" is rarely bought these days, so it's price is through the roof due to the little amount left.0 -

Not really. This is one time when it's actually more profitable from PWI's point of view to keep Nirvana mats as being mostly farmable. The reason being is that current player mentality dictates that only players geared to a certain level gets to Nirvana squad with them. And how does 80-90% of the player base get their gear to that level ?
Charge zen. b:bye0 -

This is actually one of the best decisions I've seen pwi make in a while.
Farming nirvana enough to upgrade a r9 set will take a lot of time and work from many people and stimulate the in-game economy. Profits will be spread among a larger portion of the player-base, instead of a (semi) closed loop of cash shoppers and merchants.
Sorry cash shoppers and merchants, you may have to wait longer or profit less, but in the long run you'll be happy if the game has more people playing consistently. The ability to simply swipe a credit card or afk most of the time in catshop to get endgame gear is discouraging people from actually playing the game. Adding benefits to doing more than just using the game as a chat room or e-peen measuring tool will extend the life of this game more than just putting in an easy way to right-click your way to god-mode (click pack>trade for candy>faceroll "noobs"=noobs leave>nothing left to faceroll>cash-shoppers leave=dead game).[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -
Meh, let's not forgot the people in PWCN intended R9 to take a year to get in the first place. But with the marketing team in the US, I'm sure in a few weeks they'll cave, and figure out a way to make it 10x easier. If I recall correctly, R9 was like 12B coin when it first came out. Then they made it 10x easier, trololol.BM PvP Guide: pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1320761

LOL...oh really. b:laugh
Sorry but just who the hell do you think is going to bother to try and farm ALL 1200 cannys ? b:shocked
Maybe like 1% of the player base ?
It's going to be the same merchants and their catshops who are going to be making a killing with this new deal since their business is basically buying and selling. Most players will farm some, then end up getting frustrated from impatience and buy from merchants who have been busily buying cannys and raps from all the casual and dedicated farmers out there... to sell to you at a higher price of course. b:bye0 -

Well yes, initially the Reputation Badges cost 10 times what they do now. That lasted a day or so. Just like the +11 and +12 Orbs.
And from what I've seen of the Rank 8 recasts, I'm pretty sure they'll do something to make that easier too.I am Olba. Not Ol, not Baze nor Blaze. And even less would I go by Olblaze. Please, take a second to read a person's username.

lemme see if uncanny is about 450k (example price) rap maybe 1.3mil(example probably higher)
10800 * 450k= 4,860,000,000
2700 * 1.3mil=3,510,000,000
=8,370,000,000 coins probably more or less, doesn't really matter because its still a lot lol
yea to the person getting this good luck with that lol0 -

Pretty sure me and dozens (note the plural) of others easily spent more then 8 bil coins on their past/present gear. Even if the price doesn't come down... its only a matter of time before someone gets off their *** and buy it.1. If I kill you; do something about it yourself, don't go complaining to my wife.
2. If you have less kill counts then me, don't expect me to take pk advice from you.
3. If you are hiding behind an alt, don't expect me to acknowledge your existence.

lol yea but dozens being a huge minority in this game, but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people got this. Hell im still surprised that there are so many rank 9 in this games and lvl 105 seekers and mystics b:laugh0 -
