Don't worry too much about the nerf on bramble, Emerald. The nerf is only for skills, auto attacks still get the same reflected damage that has always been. So the derp-aps sins will keep dying, while the people who were using skills will keep living.

Before this nerf, it was very rare that someone using skills would die to bramble, except if it was someone with good weapon, but bad armor. So not much is gonna chance imo, except that now horrible sins have a better choice to deal damage.

If not for the fact that I adore the hell out of the people on our server (I love our God class trolls and the mentality of the server overall) I would probably move to the private servers.

They have screwed the game mechanics up so much that we have to have a squad of people to kill anyone anymore, and our class has been reduced to nothing but debuff monkeys, while it's hybrid class the mystic (which its pets are free) are so broken they make the psys look tame. Yet it is the VENOS that are breaking the "balance".

I think what I am trying to say is, I would like to one day be able to stat with magic again so I can hit someone as hard as they are hitting me, versus statting so high in vit so I can take more than one knife throw off of Bait or Ichi X.X

When we started this game, the veno class, and it's battle pets, were marketed as a solo class that if you bought the battle pets, you could solo instances and reign supreme. This was even pushed so far as to be one of the load up screens back in the day. Then the QQing started.

I doubt that they said that venos can solo everything. Additionally, advertising applies to the current state of something, not forever; check ads for computers, cars, everything.

AFTER people rushed out to buy these cash shop battle pets, they decided in the interests of "balance", to not only nerf the veno itself, but to nerf the battle pets people spent $250 per pet to get.

Then the next nerf happens.......venos with hercs could still solo hh run's...China's solution to server economies, redo the instances so classes can not solo these runs, so that the mats are pushed up in coin value, gold prices go up, they make money and never mind they used false advertisement to make a quick buck.

before: 10 mats in 1 hour, 1 mat worth 100k, 100k = 1 gold
after: 1 mat in 1 hour, 1 mat worth 1m, 1m = 1gold
I fail to see how that increases the revenue of pwi.

Round 3: "WE ARE EXPANDING VENOS TO EVEN THEM OUT"

New battle pets, new daily, new this , new that, and in the background, yet again, another nerf placed

you get a gazillion new enchantments, let alone unique new content and you qq for bramble. makes sense.

on the classes skills so that sales from charms increase, but never once do they mention this is going to occur as they are pushing up everyone to get ready to charge charge charge, buy buy buy.

nerfing bramble = less damage from it = less charm cost. can your argument fail more? yes it can since you somehow mix bramble nerf for nerfing venos ability to solo stuff.

Following your logic they need to take the fish and earthguard out of this game, take genies out, and pretty much reset the servers back to beta phase so that everyone is on even footing.

nerfing =/= eliminating

This game has ZERO replay value, ZERO incentive to log it in other than I started this game out, and I will be here when they shut these servers down. (Although I have a distinct reason for doing such).

do i have to point out the obvious contradiction?

They change the TOS at whim,

feel free to name one big company that doesn't change their ToS and don't have a term that they can change the ToS. news flash: even banks do it

they change the game play at whim, yet they never fix even the simplest of game play issues. All the while they work to push the game to straight cash shop, milking the game for every dime they can get, and throwing the players base randoms bones to get them to shut up, but never really addressing anything if actual importance to the game.

well, you might want to phrase it better since in the previous post you only talked about bramble and solo capabilities. alas, I can't see why venos need an upgrade so that you can tank what is probably maxed out sins, especially if they are AA, without sacrificing a bit of damage. sorry but that's not balance, that's mary sue.

Since your character is low-level (less, than level 30), then better delete your character and start a new one.

If you have extra money (I mean real money), which you not need, then you can buy reset notes.

what's wrong with buying reset notes with in-game money?

- CRASH BUG: when your character moves to a location at Buried Bones on the world map (104, 318). If you crash there, your character will CRASH UPON LOGIN. DO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION. We will work to get this fixed as quickly as we can.

UPDATE: We've got a manual fix for this, and players should now be able to log in fine!



How can i fix it manually? been stuck there for two days now.

This... I haven't had the chance to do it myself yet but I will do a test-run with some friends for this reason later... I keep hearing nothing but horror stories about SoT/Aba now... I would apreciate it if the company could also keep in mind that not everyone pays to play this game and has easy access to higher gear... You gave the ones with OP gear the challenge they wanted but at the cost of those less fortunate out there... I will post my own experiences when my friends and I did a test-run in both caves... But I would appreciate it if you could look into this issue... Cause right now it seems that anyone with just average gear is excluded from both doing their Culti and doing their SoT/ABA BH 100's... b:surrender

I totally agree with these quotes. Not everyone who enjoys playing PWI has thousands of dollars to buy the gear required for these instances. Now it isn't worth the damage taken, deaths, time involved, etc. to do these runs, especially when you spend hours in a bh run and get only mysterious chips or socket stones or mirage for the efforts. At least if you are going to make it impossible for normal players to do the runs, you should make the rewards worthwhile - if they can find a R9 player to help them out. Of course, most R9 players don't think anyone without R9 gear is worth taking on these instances anyway. So most of us are left out at this point. So sad that only the wealthy can play the game to it's fullest now. b:cry

You're still able to do BH pretty easily. I'd just probably try to stay back from the mobs if you're still for whatever reason sitting in tt90 gear with 4k HP.

"For whatever reason" could be a financial issue. Maybe you have plenty to spend on the game but some of us don't.b:surrender

So everyone doesn't have 24/7 to play either. Some have school or work or real life and therefore can't be as "great" as some of you are. Some of us have to actually be able to get into instances to "learn" them, and some classes are not always welcome to the intense R9 instances - because they are too squishy. And of course, clerics get blamed when anyone dies, especially if they aren't R9.

You do realize that sometimes Culti quest is the first time some players go into the instance (SoT/Aba) so it is always an issue. Then it is hard for them to get a high level, high rank gear squad to take them through ("only if I can get FB credit" or "do you have tabs?" or "I already did my bh for today") You see, I've heard them all and then my lvl 100+ chars can't get their bh done because I am not home (working) during the day when so many of my higher rank geared friends are doing them.

Besides, what's the point in paying the repair bill when all you get is a handful of Mysterious Chips that you can't sell or trade?

I am very frustrated at this point and hope Perfect World will take note that all of their fan and player base are NOT so happy with these drastic changes. I guess I'll continue to play for a while longer, but not much longer unless something changes to make it worthwhile for low levels, new players, and those of us that have to work hard for everything we make in the game.
