Core Connect Achievement & Token Shop Will Be Closing Soon

Transcend - Lost City

Wow, how about fixing the site before pointing everyone over there to use it? What a waste of time.

Why are the Achievement system and Core Token Shop closing?

We're going to be implementing a whole new, revamped Achievement system and Token Shop under our new platform, Arc!

What will happen to my Achievements and Tokens?

Unfortunately, those won't be carried over to our new system, and when these two systems are closed, those items will be lost! Be sure to spend any tokens you have within the next 30 days!

But we'll have all new Achievements to earn and items to purchase under the new Arc platform! Stay tuned, as we'll be adding these new features and more to Arc soon!

Hey,
**** you.
Bye.

I had used all possible Core Connect Achievement points to buy items at Token shop.

And it was today.

You guys expect something good from the current PW staff? lol I don't.
Now they like to call people liers and if they can't get a comeback on you they will ignore you. So yeah, gl with being heard. >_> At least Val made the difference.. and that didn't last long it seems...

I'll wait to see what the new buggy stuff will look like.

PS Arc only stores your acc name not pass >_> have that on another PC

Xainou - Sanctuary

Yuck Arc.

Desdi - Sanctuary

The playerbase has agreed that Arc is pretty bad yet PWE keeps trying to push towards it. Why is that?

Bladed_Tony - Raging Tide

i have yet to have a problem spending and sending items to my toon..

Sizzer - Raging Tide

I'm pretty much sure that players of other PWE games are also not happy with this decision made & rebelling like us. b:angry Example > http://jd-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=625172

DeffyNature - Archosaur

Well i just sent silkworms to all m chars on all my accounts, so it does work for me ... also sent some fash in woi, but meh, not much to get from the token shop, unless you play fw, and I rarely do so, but fw shop had cool aoe pet skills which looked nice.

xemmyloux

So does this mean i need to download arc? .-. Also, sending of items keeps failing. Possibly cause everyone's redeeming them now? UGH.

So, basically will no longer be considered as customer if we are not using arc? b:shocked

Can you at least make an achievement page that is outside arc?

As if PWI is telling us "You're not using ARC, you're achievement does not count" b:cry

This.

Read the replies to this post. Read the poll thread that has been made and linked here. The majority of the playerbase DOES NOT WANT ARC.

And now you are telling those of us that have been playing the game for years and like it the way it is, that we don't count?

I personally always hated Core Connect and don't find it much of a loss. However, as a player who has been here since 2008 and will not be downloading any useless garbage that I don't need, this is a real slap in the face. All we ever wanted was for you guys to CARE about the playerbase, and now you are telling us that we don't matter.

This +1
Pretty much says it all. All we want is to be listened to. All this shows is how good a job pwe is doing at ignoring us.
Not one thing on this thread has been positive with regards to Arc. I wonder at what point in the future our player base has to be depleted to due to pwe staff negligence will they realise how stupid they've been.

DoesntMatter - Harshlands

Guys, Do you wanna know why pwi doesnt respond to the playerbase arguments?

Because it DoesntMatter what they do.. there will always be people whining about everything.

As simple as that.

They can take ideas, try "new" things, but there is no way to please every fracking soul on this comunity.


Just installed the Super fracking Arc 3000, right now its consuming 39mb of ram for doing absolutely nothing.

Im not gonna whine about my precious 39mb's of ram, but i am really hoping that they implement a nice reward system even if the new system uses arc or not.

I thought it was only me lol, but yeah I can't spend my tokens on PWI fash it says "Sorry, failed to send item. Please try again." and the "Gift to Friend" option also does not work f:angry

I'm not surprised that any of the known PWE games like JD that have private server equivalents, are not liking Arc very much.

Ohai new GM
We appreciate the update, but since you are new here, I wouold like to inform you about why the majority of us are not happy with Arc's set up.
Please look at our poll/petition, and have a nice day.
Sincerely, the oreo elf.

Selak - Dreamweaver wrote: »

Way to go PWI ignore all the negative posts about ARC and lose even more customers I for one will not be using ARC and if i cannot access game without it I will be gone. (e.g. Simply Leave lol)
We do not need more unnecessary background processes running on our machines, why not put the effort into improving the game play instead of giving us something we clearly do not want.

Check to poll results. http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1606981

Hi, welcome to our forums! Thanks for not listening to the player base x9000 times!

The statement should sound more like...

We hope most of you players leave soon, because you can't deal with our buggy bloatware that must come bundled with our titles! Once you all leave our game, we can shut down the servers and begin working on more profitable titles! Make sure to spend all your token points, because in order to get access to the new items, we must force our bloatware down you and your machine's throats!

Have a nice day players of PWI, that we refuse to listen too since late 2009.

Just since this hasn't been posted since the first page....

I'm curious why there hasn't been a proper response to this, despite the PM's I sent and the requests in the thread.

SylenThunder - Sanctuary wrote: »

Just an update....

So far the poll shows that merely 7.17% of our readers are in love with ARC, and that an overwhelming 92.83% would prefer the three other classic methods.

I am even more amazed that we have gotten so little response to this from the GM's and even less from our Community Manager. (Who incidentally, is now leaving us.)

At least bring back the torrent method. That's the easiest and has the least amount of load on your distribution servers. Not to mention that it has a lower overhead cost than Pando.

We got a token response to this in a Quality Corner thread, but have not gotten anything definitive at all. Basically we just got the typical PWE cop-out response. IMHO, we deserve a better response than that. At a minimum, please explain exactly why you "cannot simply go back to [y]our previous distribution methods", and what your future plan is, with some kind of ETA to a viable alternative to ARC.

"An error occured during your transaction."b:cry

Ediger - Raging Tide

An error occurred while processing your request.

Reference #97.3e3c4317.1375292361.2e16d5f1

... any update about this error getting fixed?

Elstraya - Heavens Tear

Maybe its just the load on the system but I also cannot redeem tokens at the moment.
Sometimes the site hangs then gives the error:


"An error occurred while processing your request.

Reference #97.d24fe3e.1375300182.3e6a4b5"

Sometimes I get right to the page to send it to my character but then I get:

Quoted for truth

Eoria - Harshlands

Unless the rewards for achievements are going to be amazing, I see no point in DLing ARC for this ****.

Narcillatrix - Dreamweaver

Ok I don't have much of a clue as to how Arc works since I don't have it and never wanted to bother with it if it wasn't necessary, but poking around the forums makes it pretty clear how bad it is now that I'm more informed....
Also, the Core Connect page hasn't been working for me for the passed two days...Please don't tell me we need Arc for it to work now already.

Do not want.

f:angry

Xainou - Sanctuary

Well, while both core and arc are pretty broken, the difference is that arc actually affects your gameplay. Do. Not. Want.

Besides, even the item sending function on core connect is broken atm <<

And I doubt I'm the only one who wants to keep their achievements. Quite itneresting to know when you started or leveld which character.

What we achieved after playing for so many years ? nothing.... PWE is not willing to hear us, what we think, what we need & what we want. Our real achievement is ZERO i think.

1) When will we actually be able to USE our points before the shop is closed?
2) No one wants ARC. Stop forcing it to us.
3) I doubt you or anyone that matters will read any of these posts, let alone reply to any of them.

I miss Val.......Prove yourself to be a good CM and actually listen. Usually Val would have respond by now....b:shutup

You can always just say no. At least you tried and whatnot...

Pretty sure our current CM is just temp until we get a new one as he's also CM for two other games atm. I wouldn't expect too much, though I would like an answer.

I, personally have no serious issues with Arc. It actually works more efficiently for me...and I use a Windows XP Virtual Machine. While I get lag, its on the virtual machine itself, not so much Arc or PW.

While I can personally see your hang-ups with it...auto-logins, etc. Its not really THAT bad of a program. I think you're going a little...far, boycotting it completely.

However, I can say that, them trying to shove it down our throats isn't a good thing...had they not been forcing it on us...would you accept it a little more willingly?

The thing is, I can play PW fine now by itself and have been doing so for 5 years. I don't need another program, and I don't want another program. I have enough **** on my laptop to bother with something else I don't need. Unless they put things in ARC that made it absolutely awesome and beneficial in multiple ways, I would not ever bother with it.

I have Steam because I needed it to buy Skyrim, and I very much dislike it and wish I could do away with it. If this is the same idea as Steam (as people are saying), there is pretty much nothing they could ever do to make me download it. The day I am actually forced to use it to play is the day I quit.
