New PW Expansion (PWCN: Glory and Rebirth)

Licancura - Archosaur

In the song that combines real people and animation, there's a picture taken at the end. I recognze a cleric, a veno and of course a barb. What are the other three? I thought it were the old clases but there is no archer I think, and the other girl has pointy ears, a fish?

As a personal question, what has to do the kitchen and the picnic with PWI? It seems like if she's remembering something, hence the picture at the end.

P.S. Watching the video again, I recognize almost all places, how is this a new vision? o.O Anyway, I would love new stuff for next year.

A Chinese friend to whom I showed the video said that the song is about living your dreams through Perfect World.

Based on the animation it feels like someone is recalling back various memories of fun times they had with friends.

I think it's quite sweet

One of my dreams just came true!!
Archosaur studios comming back and working on the game.
Working on all classes and the PVP system.
I got the feeling that this will be the best update we EVER had!

Damn that's pretty.
It doesn't feel much like PW though but I guess it makes more sense once we see the new map, areas and lore.

Those dungeon picks kinda seem like extension of hogwarts but meh, who knows.

With original devs comming back there might be a chance that we will get a raised lvl cap in the future and they might do something about aps actually. Maybe a real nerf.

We might get the unfinished housing system and PVP arena aswell.
Maybe the PVP arena for next expansion together with the new PVP system.


I so want the new pvp system. We currently have no quality PVP at all.
The current pvp system has been broken for so many years now and I doupt any one ever liked it. This expansion will be a huge change finally!

Desdi - Sanctuary

I doubt we'll see a housing system.
As far as I know it's pay-to-play PW exclusive but I would definitely love to have one in our version.

A reason to come back in a few months. I'll be keeping an eye on the forms. So happy.

Saethos - Raging Tide

What I hope for is some sense of balance between the attack level and defense level ratios, we all get way too many attack levels and not enough defense levels.

If i were you I'd hope they are not going to do it in the future. You don't want huge lvl distance between you and your opponents, do you?
And I don't want to start grinding PV again b:surrender

It's been nerfed while ago. Only useful in pve, Not even everywhere.

We had arena, but it had been removed without any reason. If they found a reason to bring it back, i'd be really happy.

if you can't find ways to make money (actually farm, not merchant) in this game with a non aps char right now, you're doing something wrong.
I came back to this game after 1.5years of being away from it. after lurking around for 2 days I went on an bought a G16 dagg for my 5aps sin. Better damage, less defenses because I lost the cube neck/ws belt in favor of TT ornies to be 5aps. Started farming my usuall stuff in TT + FC for sale. Raised a barb, got it to full G16 then I realized the potential of this new G16 gimmick on a caster. Sold everything from barb, got my old wiz out of retirement and in full +5-8gear/+10 wep G16.
During 2x my sin is making about 7-10 mil/hour. Ouside of 2x my sin is almost useless for anything else than BH runs and occasional WS tanking.
I've been in a lot of WS squads that prefer my wiz over my sin because of AoE on paths and that makes the whole run a lot faster and safe.
Outside of WS there are things a caster can farm right now, quite some lucrative ones, 30-45 minutes for 3-4m profit is not bad. My Sin can't do that outside of 2x (well, it could, but with wiz is so much easier/safer).
In NW my sin is useless(aps gear only) while my wizard brings me about 11-13 mil worth of profit/NW.
I know some ppl are still butthurt by aps is not even close to what it was.

I hope PWI will bring in more instances like WS, where all classes have their contributions.

2 out of 10 classes have enough, then. Whooo, thrilling. The rest of us are left in the dust to have people spark and see who they can oneshot, if they can't oneshot they occult ice and combo you down. It used to take skill to kill, now even I can kill with a smack crit zerk on equal gear. I miss challenges.

Interesting how they just went with a picture this time.

Here is the background of that, if anyone wants it.
There were no other sizes to be found.

Time for a bit of catch up.
The new posts talks a bit about Arch Studio (nothing that I haven't covered) and their current work on PW.
The post hinted at some stuff that I've found in today's PWCN patch.

Looks like if we want to enjoy the new map, we'll have to work to unlock certain areas. Seeing that there are only multiples of the left side of the map, looks like we'll have to wait to unlock the right side of the map.
I don't know if it'll be a one time thing that the server works towards (say a public event) or something every player will have to do if they want to access those areas on different characters.

The news post also talked about "Perfect World 2" R&D being put on the agenda. Since our mmo is technically perfect world 2, I don't know if Wanmei means that pw getting more development now or if they're hinting at some sort of sequel.

Still don't get whats up with the Raccoons b:laugh
But im hyped for this expansion!!

Finally a reason to update my chinese client. Going through the skill descriptions it looks like each class gets around 3 new skills (with demon / sage variants).

Archers seem to be getting an Aoe version of blinding blaze, some crappy wood dot, and a new kind of wingspan? Seems kinda bad..

Mind posting all the new skills for us?

These seem to be everything: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=BnPPL7ic

Every skill seems to come in 2 variants but I'm not 100% sure if it's for Demon/Sage since they aren't called the same thing. Also there were some more skills at bottom, probably pet skills.

Can anyone put together a nice translation for everything?

EDIT these are mostly UPGRADED versions of existing skills

ty ,, as cleric seems no new skills, but some modification and increasing damage dealt

Yeah the archer ones are similar to old skills too (Vicious / Wingspan). Maybe these are upgrades? Sage Level 2 / Demon Level 2.

juicybluca

wait seems seekers are getting an inverse SS skill (reduce atk lvl to improve def level for 15 secs) with debuff qpqable :0

also are those lots of new genie skills?

also seems wizard's shields cept stone barrier got some haul (fire one 15% crit increase, water barrier increases 15 chi\second)

BMs are getting another weapon disable and more stuns :O

I like. Maybe I can return and be able to crowd control again after all!

EDIT: Under the genies and pets section appear to be morai skill changes.

Doesn't appear to be any fancy new skills for seekers, but, it looks like we're getting a taste of the skill balancing:

●/○ Heart Shatter
Channel time is reduced to 0.3 seconds.
Cast time is increased to 0.7 seconds.
Overall time saved is 0.5 seconds.
(Chi gain 25?)

Sacrificial Slash
Channel time is reduced to 0.2 seconds.
Cast time remains the same.
Overall time saved is 1 second.

●/○Quid Pro Quo
Channel time is reduced to 0.2 seconds.
Cast time is reduced to 0.5 seconds.
Overall time saved is 0.5 seconds.
Demon version has immobilize increased to 4 seconds.
(Chi gain 10?)

There's mention of chi/vitality gain on HS and QPQ, dunno if that's their original amounts or an increase.

Asterelle - Sanctuary

Ya they added chi gain info to all the skill descriptions

These are new skill IDs so I'm guessing they are skill upgrades.

Hunkary - Dreamweaver

I tried to translate the Psychic part but I couldn't understand anything still lol.
Can anyone who understands Chinese clear the info on psychic (and all other classes) please?

Much appreciated!

Looks like there's more than just Morai skill changes, I just spotted more skill changes, in particular:

Voidstep
Cooldown reduced to 30 seconds.

Reel in
Success rate is 75%

I think we're just scratching at the surface of changes here.
EDIT: more details on BM Morai changes

Reckless Rush
Cooldown reduced to 30 seconds.
Appears to have lost all it's attack functions. (Don't quote me on that one.)
