i think anyone that as a hot girlfriend is happy

Xae_ - Archosaur

I'm a 101 cleric and 98 sin on Arch and a 101 veno on DW. I gotta say cleric/sin/veno in that order are happiest for me, but I'm happiest because of my hubby on all three. b:chuckle

lol hey mista b.
i have several toons also, my bm being my favorite for the reasons i mentioned in my earlier post. i like my cleric alot as well, because from playing her i learned that clerics arent all that squishy if u learn how to play them. my veno is fun when i want to be alone and not deal with anyone.. they can do alot but as for being the happiest... its too lonely to be a veno and be happy.

Well, I was thinking the exact contrary
Cause to me money doesn't make happiness at all, you can be rich as heck and depressive. To me, Earthguards are the happiest ones cause they live with nature and have a strong link with it and the Divinity... they are Pangu's chosen ones, after all. Their faith must really full them with warmth and confidence in what they are doing. They know why they are fighting I guess. They must be generous people I think, well at least that's how I see them when I think about the fanfics I write xD My definiton of the Earthguards would be: happy tree huggers xD

About the most unhappy race, honestly I don't know. All I know is that in my fanfics the most belligerent/annoying/austere race are the humans. Not sure why, but that's my perception of them.

About the Tideborns, idk but they aren't specially happy or unhappy, to me. But I doubt Pangu made them... I think they're the only race that hasn't been created by Pangu. Nothing in the scenario specify any link between Tideborns and Pangu... and those Nightspikes remain mysterious. To me, they're prolly the descendants of a sea dragon divinity or something like that, but their origins are shady, more than Earthguards. About their personnality, I think that generally speaking, they aren't very talkative people, so it doesn't help knowing much about them xD But some quests also show us they are extremely loyal to their race.

I think Untamed are quite fine generally speaking, Elves too, but they still bear a big grudge against each other despite the fact that they often have to fight together in order to exterminate the wraiths. Bearing a grudge never makes anyone happy, so... But I don't think they are all resentful. Elves and Untamed look like friendly people as well...

Hmm I think that's about all about my perception of the races. I really wish we did know much more facts about them than we do. If there was a novel full of details about all the past of PW (and Morai !!) and the races, I'd really gladly read it.

I like this b:laugh

Although I am not sure whether being reborn without memories over and over, while same time being told you DID live before, could cause problems. But I would assume the Earthguards would have a very different mind set from the 'ordinary' mortal races. They would need to have, because as someone mentioned - they are basically soldiers, minions of higher powers, with no self orientated purpose. They can not aim for some 'after life paradise', nor will they during their lifes strive to gain anything for themselves. Put like this, they sound a bit like machines >.> but a machine generally has no awareness of the self, which makes this complicated. Not to forget they can apparently fall in love, as one of the quests in the earthguard area suggests. That in turn would mean they are able to follow self purpose after all. Messy to figure this......... but there is a lot of room to add or imagine things like that past so and so many life times they can aim for sort of a 'heavenly retirement', or that during times when they are not needed as soldiers, they 'live elsewhere', and during those periods they have all their memories and know they will always return to this 'other realm' again, after missions have been completed.


Else though I'd vote for the Untamed and especially the Venomancers. Close to nature and with the ability to make friends with the creatures of nature, they seem to have this added dimension to existence, which the other races are missing.

Only race with children though seem to be humans. I have come during travels across human children, but have to yet stumble across the young of any of the other races.
And do venos and barbs team up to throw litters of mixed venos and barbs..? Considering there is that story of the winged tiger, which means barbs and elves can have off spring. All very confusing b:shocked

May be because PWI's Anniversary will be at September (autumn).

gyroki

Noone did link the new patch update yet?

XxAdiciaxx - Sanctuary

maybe because we had 2x drops a zillion times this past school year and it's messed the economy in game up so bad that charms are at what 7.5m now? maybe its time to just have good old fashioned regular drops and experience.

and now they r trying what? wayyyy-too-late-economy-saving-measures? LOL
all they do is ruining it even more cos prices on mats dropped, but token prices etc r increasing
notice anything? more work > less money > higher prices for w/e ffs

imo all they do is being afraid of some specific game thats due by september..
if they had really wanted to save the economy they wouldntve (e.g.) patched the aurora npc in after all..

SereneMyst - Archosaur

how much time till the servers come back online? b:cute

XxAdiciaxx - Sanctuary

im not even gonna go on the i remember tyraid (spelled wrong im sure) lol. exhaustion of 2x drops for every little thing is what started the economy downfall, oh its xmas 2x oh kids are home 2x oh its friday 2x... if we break from 2x once in a while the economy tends to level out again. it'll never be how it was because ppl have figured out the u can buy just about everything u need with a cc. no one really learns how to farm it all they just buy buy buy and sell in a catshop for gold to coin prices. meh im babbling but it started somewhere didnt it?

shashahah

ye ik, but for all those who cant zentrade it gets worse w/o x2 (if they want to farm something uhm..."impossible", like 1st r9 recast e.g.)

XxAdiciaxx - Sanctuary

nothing is impossible and im not a cash shopper, i promise u that, yes i have fashion and mounts but for my gear i farm i always have always will .. gonna take forever but sometimes the work is more fun then the outcome.

yes 2x raises charm prices.
Um really?

Look at the gold and look at the sales.

With sales:
3 * 1.5 = 4.5mil

Without sales:
6gold is it?

6 * 1.3 = 7.8mil.

Use your brain *rolls eyes*

Ha! Am I the first one to notice that they changed FC?

Heads are lv 88 now which makes it unable for low lvls to 1 hit them.


...learned it the hard way... just when I wanted to make an archer >_>

Heads were always lvl 88 lol

That's why as you get higher and higher you get less and less xp from them

And for toons under lvl 40 1 hitting heads was nearly impossible before, I think the change is in your mind. Unless they gave them more than just 100 hp now.

Not sure if this plays a factor though. High levels take exp from low levels. So lvl 90-99 squad, 99 would be getting 13k per head and lvl 90 7k or a bit higher.

PWI Patch Notes v644 - Released June 13, 2012

Graphics
The item Wish of the Ancestors: Eon now properly has its graphics again

User Interface
Increased the distance on headers for Wardrobe UI

- Clarified the MP cost for Yataghan Vortex
- Updated tooltip text on the Scout's Kit to correctly refer to the War Mammoth

You might want to address some of the defective skills that you released also. I went to test my new morai skill during some pvp yesterday, and was unsurprisingly disappointed yet again by your developers. I used this attack against an ea that went into his stealth mode and I definitely proc'd it before he was able to stealth, however to my displeasure it did absolutely nothing:

Raging Slap
Requisite Class: Barbarian　　　Requisite Cultivation: Aware of Vacuity
Requisite Skill: None
Requisite Level: 100

Slap the target, forcing them to attack you in a fit of rage.

The description of the skill is inaccurate, false, and broken. It wasn't until after I learned the skill that it actually reveals the full description which evades my logic as to why you wouldn't just describe the full details of the skill before learning it considering the effort it takes in farming influence and prestige to earn it? Anyway, here's the accurate skill description:

Raging Slap
Available in Tiger form
Range: Melee
Mana:202
Channel:0.4 sec
Cast:1.5 sec
Cooldown:20 sec

Taunts the enemy with a furious slap of your paw, enraging them and forcing them to attack you for 6 seconds. Prevents them from targeting anything else.

"Can only be used on players. Requires 1 spark"

I suggest you test your patches before you release them and stop making useless localization and text changes, or if you do at least have them apply to things that are actually significant... I understand you might need to rush out new content because your player base continues to wither, but if you solved the problems that existed in the first place instead of trying to band-aid them over with new eye candy then maybe you would avoid a lot of those issues.

Nowhere in there does it say that it would remove stealth from a target. So I'm not sure why you assumed it would be an anti-stealth move. Especially when other classes were specifically given anti-stealth moves. I do agree that they skill books could give better descriptions but there is also a wealth of knowledge available on what exactly each one does. A little bit of research before spending a lot of time or money would go along way in preventing disappointment. And that is true of real life too.
