Secret Passage Rule Change (Updated 2-24-2012)

Hey everyone,

Due to the bug that has transformed SP into an absolute free-for-all, we are prohibiting all PVP inside this dungeon. This goes for all servers, for players of all levels.

Our developers are aware of the issue, and we are hoping to have the bug fixed within 6-8 weeks.


Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in the matter.

Inb4 no one cares and does it anyway.... b:bye

    lol, i've already stated my opinion on this:



    I DON'T GIVE A ****. Them little blue names go in there and walk outside SZ, well it's not my ****ing fault if they get caught in an AoE and die.
    Nothing worthwhile to mention here, enjoy the animated signature~

    What are you even doing AOEing in there if PVP is forbidden? Surely you aren't catching up on quests. b:shutupb:cuteb:chuckle

    The GRAND LAUGH about Frankies Post, is that sadly the PW DEVs back in China are stating its gonna take another (6-8 weeks) for them to fix what they already new how to fix! once already????b:chuckle

    Didn't they learn from the last time, that they were sitting on their BuTtS! 4 so Longggggggg!! And did nothing about it...

    They Lost Themselves ALOT! Of (Players & Income) aswell as (Popularity!) In the Worlds (MMO~Gaming Masses) last time......

    And now they say its gonna take up t0,o? another (2-MoNtHs) to,0! FiX the same EXACT! F'InG Program LINEs!! That They Knew were Bad!? from the Last Time?! and AlSo FIXED!! The last time??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!b:shocked


    !! SERIOUSLY !! DUDEz! b:laugh !!!! LEARN TO {COPY & PASTE} ALREADY !!!!

    Its Easy, 3rd GraDeRZzzzzz!! Do it ALL THE TIME!!!?!???...........b:faint




    PS: "I hope they've got enough GMs, to_o Cover SP until Then!?"

    "Because Speaking Frankly! Frankie..... I so feel Sorry for you guys, if your Going to Have too hANg Around in There All the Time....."b:surrender

    See, everyone is missing the bigger picture here. If we have to wait 6-8 weeks for it to be fixed, and it requires a content patch (their words), we can expect the next part of the Descent (rest of Endless Universe etc) in 6-8 weeks. See?

    SEE?!?!

    Known Issues
    Players level 1-29 can, once again, be PKed in Secret Passage. This is fixed internally, but will require a content patch in order to fix on Live. Please be patient. orz

    Well the people in there better be careful. I know some lower levels have gotten fed up. They are purposely going in now to be PKed just to take screen shots of it and submit so the people will be banned. One person has over 30 screen shots/names on several alts and all have been submitted. I foresee massive banning. Personally I think it's pathetic that people pk in there at all. The only people that need quests in there are players level 40 and under. Wow real hard to pk a low character like that when you are 90+. My level 44 cleric got pk in there, but for some reason they did not touch the level 101 sin I had with me. Wonder why? Could it be they suck at pk? Most likely.

    It's possible the sin was well known with the people currently there. Normally, from what I've seen on Sanctuary, as long as you let yourself be known that you're doing quests or something, you're left alone.

    This. Lol. I'm against pk in SP. When I saw the announcent on the forums, and in game, I honestly laughed at it, as I felt that nothing would be done.

    I've already had to submit a few screenshots on this issue, as well as report a few people. However, I'm not completely heartless, I can usually tell if it's on accident or on purpose. From my own experience, if I'm running in and somebody casts an AoE that happens to graze/kill me because I'm a bit lower level, I let it slide and chalk it up to, "wrong place, wrong time"; however, the few I've had to report were PvP/PK crazy, to the point where even if you mounted onto a flyer, flew by at ceiling level, and got almost to the entrance to "Hall of Deception" (or whichever dungeon it is, been running so many quests I can barely keep track anymore) they'd hunt you down, chase after you, and make SURE to kill you. Even screenshotted them being silly enough to actually guard the entry area and announce that they were taking out anybody that dared to try and enter. Then there was another time, where my fiance and I were meditating/healing up to take on a mob, and next thing we know, some sin hits us from behind twice each and next thing we know we're respawning at Orchid Temple.

    b:scorn b:beatup

    Honest truth be told, if I could just avoid that whole madhouse of mess I would, but there are quests that take lowbie 40s through there, and it seems ridiculous that people want to turn it into a "fancy free-for-all arena"... I mean seriously, the whole of Perfect World where they could PvP and/or use for an arena, and they have to do it where there's no way of keeping yourself out of PvP (obviously to exploit the bug/glitch).

    b:avoid

    Can't wait until this is fixed... I mean, I have no problem with people PvPing and dueling, I sometimes spectate outside Arch as people duel... just allow the same rules to carry into the Secret Passage as they do everywhere else... if you're not in PK-mode, no PvPing and no PvP damage, while those who want to duel still can without effecting everybody around them. Not that hard to figure out I'd think.

    b:puzzled b:cool

    PS - Please ignore the avatar picture, not sure why it still lists me as level 8 when I'm now level 46; I suppose if I wasn't this post might be borderline trolling, lol! :P~ (Up at the top of the page my avatar picture shows the accurate level, not sure why it's not updating here...)
