FC Glitch Update

This whole thing is laughable, seriously.

Why don't you do something actually productive and fix the Jone's Blessing problem wich is affecting almost all your customers. The least Frankie could do is give an update on it <.<

They're having ''database maintenance'' in a while and Frankie also stated before that the blessing/DQ problems were due to a ''database issue''. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Until then...

7 days... seriously? Just say it. Say the real reason.

"The reason we decided not to permanently ban anybody is because the vast majority of players that used this glitch to attain level 105 are heavy cash shop users and we can not afford to risk our main source of income."

Abusing a gameplay changing glitch.... Changing your character's eyes and hair through .ini editing ... = the same punishment?

PWE is taking the blame for the PLAYERS abusing a glitch?

SHUT. EVERYTHING. DOWN.


This game's paid management is officially ****. Instead of actually fixing the problem, we, who did not abuse the glitch, get screwed over with: Being honest and not even abusing the glitch(therefore not receiving the benefits from said glitch) + our exp from the goons getting nerfed to diddly-squat(now FF is **** and not even worth finishing).

Why is it that official game GM teams are so much more terrible than private server GM teams? I don't even play the PWI private servers. I hate hearing how people who are doing this for free treat their players better. You guys get -PAID- to listen to us, help us and enforce the ToS -PROPERLY-. All I am seeing is a disappointed and neglected playerbase, who's low-lives get treated better than the honest players.

I understand we are your cash cow servers, but come on. How long do you think this is going to last before people realize what the hell is going on and leave?

Very pathetic, PWE.

I enjoyed your comment! We have all already realized these things, I think Only the people who cant pay for a game will be staying when Te.ra, D.3 and G.W.2 come out in the coming month. I expect PWI to lose 70% of their player base! I know this is the case for me.. I dont even care if they ban me from forums for using other game names. PWI sucks a.ss and has for a very long time. GM's do not care anything about game play or bugs or anything. I had lost high refines on a weapon because of their bag coding etc. They pretty much told me to go faccck myself. I cannot count the number of tickets I have submitted for things missing etc. They are no help at all. They do not care and have not cared for longer than I can remember now.

PWI has the worst of the worst GM I have known.

Everyone saying "oh next glitch im going to abuse it!" Try not to think like that. This game isn't even worth your time. Really, do you want to play a game where duplicating items and glitch lvling were pretty common? This game is dead! Let's have the funeral and move on!

I agree... way too many of the gooners are mega cashshoppers. I see a few that gooned to 105 with quite a bit to full +12 gear still running around in heaven's tear.

If everyone leaves PWI besides hardcore CSers, addicts, and players who have invested too much time/cash... Just sayin', the game's economy will crumble into nothingness. It will be a lot worse than it already is. Gold will eventually reach PW-MY heights.

So if people really do leave, like they state; the game's current economy will be worse than "The Great Depression", back in my grandfather's day. As it stands now, there aren't enough active level 100+ players to fill two factions to 200 players on Heaven's Tear. So, good luck with that.

Also, the fact that if there isn't anyone to "complain" about issues with the game, then there isn't anyone left, lol. The game is at a state of broken. The bugs, glitches, cash shop, gear, stats, levels, etc are not going to be fixed unless they do a complete server wipe on all servers and kill 90% of their income via the cash shop. Right as I speak there are over 1000 players on just one single private server's one server. The fact that a private server is getting this popular while the official server is still remaining updated, states something quite peculiar. It's rare for something like that to happen. A private server rivaling this official server's player base. Quite comical indeed.

If there is no one to complain about the game, then there would be no need for a forums. So, you would have no reason to post unless you need some help. In that case, there is an amazing ticketing system for your assistance. So, again; no need for the forums, aye?

Wtf is it with both of you. I said we won't miss people like him. People that complain all the damn time about a game they don't like. Yet they're still here to complain.

So stop making those absurd 'IF EVERYONE...' assumptions. That was never the discussion.


Ontopic: Disappointed. That's what sums it up to. Stop banning anyone for your unabilty to fix the glitch in time. And bring the exp back for 100+ people. And make the second half of FCC worth doing again. Geez.

IMHO, private servers aren't worth bothering with, unless you're getting a max level, max geared out character handed to you upon making your account. For anything that requires a significant time investment (for leveling/gearing up/etc) the official server will offer much more stability.

I have no idea if private servers hand you a maxed out character on startup or make you build one up from scratch, since I've never played on one.

The one I'm referring too allows you to kill ~20 mobs and you have 200m coin/level 105. The rest is voting for end-game gear. That specific server is rivaling PWI at the moment, lol. The content is as up to date as PWI is currently, w/ all the classes/skills/Morai. It's mostly PvP, as expected. But most people sit and open packs 24/7, run Nirvy/TT for aps gear, and TW/PVP.

This isn't the only server w/ content equal or greater to PWI, though. There are about five or six private servers around that have PWI's content at the moment.

wat the use of banning for 7 days? they r already 105 .b:angryb:angry

karmelia

Don't waste your time replying in this thread.

They created it so people can vent their anger at them. No one from PWI will ever read anything that is posted here.

After a few weeks, they will unstuck it, then they will move it the the abyss and it will be forgotten.

You want to hit them where it will hurt them : don't buy zen anymore. That, and only that will make them change their decision. But I bet the large majority of complainers here are not willing to do that.

I agree.... What will you do for those of us who cant lvl? I've been 6 months trying to get 20% either lower the exp requirement for 102+ or give us a way to lvl up. I'm stuck on 103.

What a load of ****. I know this isn't purely up to Frankie and the forum mods and all that, but come the **** on. Basically anyone who had integrity and didn't glitch is getting punished, not the people who did the glitching. And you're still giving anyone who doesn't feel like following TOS license to do whatever they want. Because what's PW going to do? Ban them for a couple of days.

RunningTiger - Dreamweaver

bah was just the pages on the private server....That anyone can easily find on any number of sites. Heck somehow eventhough I never go to anywhere pwi related except here and the pwi database...somehow i have pwi servers emailing me to come play there instead.

Cinderball - Raging Tide

If permanently banning them is out of the question, why not shame them by giving them a title/icon near their name in-game that labels them as abusers? Even this accomplishes more than banning them for a week.

HAHAHHAHAHA

i know someone with 2 105 gooned char. the 1 that did like 1/100 the amount of the goons compared to the other got banned. how does banning the worst offender end up banning the 1 that gooned so much less compared to the other. and its not like its just a lvl 1 to 105 gooning, we talking about the difference of gooning on that unbanned char for a few hrs a day, everyday for like 3month straight compared to just getting a 101 to 105

the 101 to 105 got banned, the..... other 1... still lives HAHHAHHAHHA worst offenders for sure

Same thing on dreamweaver. One of the major ones has 2-3 105 toons and only 1 got banned.

VenusArmani - Dreamweaver

If it were up to me, I would have permanently banned their characters but given them items identical to the ones they already owned on a level 1 character on either a new account or one of their choosing. I would have also penalized them for the amount of coin they got by getting any illegitimate key, say 300k for each key an illegal leveled alt obtained and used. That way they have a second chance and most of the stuff of the gooned character, but they would not longer enjoy the privileges of being 105. Nor would they enjoy the privileges of being 100 for a few days, as they would have gotten a 7 day account ban as well as a perma-character ban. However, they would still have their rank 9. They would still have all their legitimately gained coin, once the 7 days were over a guild mate could help them get back to where they were in a manner of days. (I would probably make all the bans run concurrently and throw every event and 2x in the book at the server while they were gone.) That way they could enjoy all the gold, all the stuff, everything else they had but they wouldn't have 105 anymore and they would lose their character's name as it would be banned not deleted. It would give them a second chance without allowing them to keep the rewards.

That or just made it legal for everybody. But then, I'm of the opinion that adults should be held responsible for their own actions when they sign contracts. But what do I know. b:surrender

This solves nothing at all lol..... maybe if theres another glitch like this I will exploit it to reach 105 and happily take my 1 week ban b:laugh

Why don't they just nerf the xp to get to 105? You don't have to bring back goons to get more people to be 105.

My idea would be lvls 100-105 be about the same xp to gain levels (kind of like how it is to get from 100-101), with a few extra here and there.

Don't made it a domino effect though and nerf ALL the xp from 100 and below, we already got so many plvlers out there easily making it 100+.

Shouldn't it be fairly easy since the GMs already nerfed goon xp in just four months? Then people can compete with the 103+ goon glitchers.

This shouldn't have taken as long as it did. Not the glitch being poorly taken care of, not the (lack of) communication and response, not the banning of the worse (and all) offenders. This should have been dealt far more professionally not only to serve as an example for the community but for the community to regain its trust in the company.

At this point, no action would have been better than temporarily banning people who have exploited a glitch despite the TOS stating that doing so is a bannable offense that may result in an account termination.

Is it the company's fault for not taking care of it sooner, or better yet, more efficiently? Yes. Should the people who exploited the glitch suffer a lighter punishment for it? No.

The truth is the community has been punished as a whole. Instead of properly fixing the glitch in a timely manner, the goonz exp was nerfed, and is still nerfed because the glitch has yet to be fixed at all.

Personally, I still have no idea how to glitch the goon boss and there are many others who have no idea. Truthfully, from what I've gathered, many won't be able to glitch it successfully without having their characters die repeatedly.

So banning the people that glitched it temporarily is an insult to the whole community.

Instead, fix the glitch. Bring the instance back to normality, and make the people that didn't abide to the ToS feel it where it really hurts. Otherwise, they'll be back in a matter of a few days boasting that they've glitched without any consequences, and guess what, they'll still be 105 (or any other level they've reached to using the glitch).

I'm throughly disappointed.

Tell me one thing Mod, Does the 'Decision Makers' of this game reads this forum or particularly this thread or any of this kind of??? Does posting here or giving our thoughts(by us so-called 'community' members) makes any implication on their decision.if yes!!..then read on and if no!!..then let it be another troll post.
First you people told us that glitching is bannable. Secondly when people did glitched it, u didnt do anything. Now, you have removed this glitch and made us wonder..did we made a mistake by not glitching over here? Since months we were trying to get you 'Decision-Makers' to make decision about punishment to the accused chars by various post on various server forums. And then, there you have come up with such a rubbish punishment along with an excellent use of your PR language.
Tell me something, 2 years ago, when people glitched that gold thing in AH(still do not know what was it) , you came up with a perma ban and U banned many of my friends(though they did deserve it). Now, this offense here is more or less same than that of gold glitch, so why so lenient on punishing those people. I assume this glicting offense is also a game-breaking one(and it did broke this game).Why did not you came up with a punishment of de-leveling those people by their respective glitch levels.b:bye
I do not know about others, but since the glitch stopped and you did not do anything about it, i have stopped cash shopping and was always wondering whether it was the right decision.But now,thank to god, i think i did made a good decision and will never trust you people again or pay a penny to this game.b:byeb:angry
