    wrong thread

    Technically this thread has expanded a bit and has become a discussion of what the players think that PWE should be doing instead of removing DQ. So in Apostasy defense his idea is just part of that expansion of his thread. The point is that we just keep pushing this thread at this point to show the people at PWE that we WON"T forget about the blog we were promised and that we ARE NOT happy with what they are doing. So anything that expands but maintains the base topic of this thread is fine with me ijs.

    Maybe you misunderstand OP. They have not said anything about removing DQs. They said the DQ ->rewards<- will be phased out.

    As stated in the other threads, the rewards were a response to the DQ prices being dropped to 1, which was meant for CHINA not for US, however we could not reverse it, so it was compensation.


    The DQ ->Rewards<- are now being phased out because we are getting something NEW.


    This -was- our REALLY ADVANCED NOTICE. Like holy **** they told us about something WWWWAAAAAYYYY before it happened so that we KNOW it is happening.

    Dear GOD whatever shall we do, they're trying to inform us of something! Hit the decks!

    Like I said before, shut up until we know what is coming in place of it.
    There will obviously be SOMETHING in place of it or there would be no need to remove it.


    Stop QQing until the system is actually taken down.
    you are exactly the type of person the GM s love. you follow along like a little puppy dog believing everything they tell you. you will blindly accept w/e is handed to you without questioning it.
    for the rest of us WE WANT ANSWERS! wait WE DEMAND ANSWERS! if there are implementing an in game bot as someone stated, what would be the point of a bot when dq points are removed? remember they cut the npc value of DQ in half when they started the dq rewards system. the rewards was a way to placate us because we had people like the OP who stood up for the PWI community.
    "if" they do put an in game bot program into play, it will be completely useless on the PVP servers. and on the PVE servers, all the grinders/farmers will quit with no way to combat the bots. so i really dont think that an in game bot is coming.

    as far as the DQ points it doesn't really bother me in the least. The 80+ items still have coin value. The items from the DQ shop can be had obtained otherwise. It is just another change in how we play the game. People whined and cried when they took the DQ coin away and they gave us something different, When they implemented the hyper stones, when they gave you an easier way to get raps and cannies, you people whined and cried about the way in NW was ran, it seems like every time they make a change all I hear is people whining and complaining.

    Is not the end of the world. God for bid if you should go on a few TT runs to make coin, or even run WS to sell tradable molds to have money for your charms and stones

    the only way to make money in tt/hh is to npc the items you farm. on Lost City there are shops with stacks upon stacks of gold mats and on down. you spend more money on the subs opening the instance than what you can sell the mats for.
    if i owned a business and people always complained when i made a change, i would try to connect with my customers and figure out what changes i could make that would please them and get them to tell more people to come spend money on my business. sounds so simple and get PWI still cant figure that out b:surrender

    Bumping this thread to yet again ask where our blog is we were promised. As far as i am aware no blog has been placed yet discussing the issue with DQ removal and the fact that we were given no warning. It has been a week since the last update when the points listed on the in game DQ items were removed and we still have no information as to exactly what is going on and when. People have raged, Moderators have scolded, and almost EVERYONE is upset that we were give NO warning or heads up about this. I am going to yet again ask can we please get an official word on this. I see that a PWE took the time to yet again come up with a Maintenance Discussion thread and asked us to answer some silly question to keep people occupied while we wait for maintenance to finish so now i pose the question for them, Where is the blog we were promised? We, your loyal and devoted gamers, DESERVE to know what is going on and what your plans are. It is not like you don't know what is going on as im sure PWE had already discussed and planned what they will do with the DQ points and began with the removal of the in game text on the DQ items, so why is it so hard to tell us what you are planning?

    Seems legit xD but no seriously it has been a week and there is just no reason why they cant at the very least tell us what they are planning on doing exactly and an ETA for when they system is officially being canned. I mean its not like they havent already discussed this. Unless they are legit trying to scramble to see what sorta thing they can give us to try and patch up this mistake with the player base sorta like when they messed up the anniversary and gave us all the same stuff...which was again **** as usual. I am just pushing questions that they most likely already have answers to. Shouldnt take them THAT much time to inform us out of their busy days...

    Dude. They are implementing an in-game bot.

    And what will be the sense in that in-game bot if there will be no DQ points system? What will they be used for?

    This is in and of itself not the important question, but the main issue i see with them giving us a bot system is that they are then basically just encouraging gamers to get in game and set up a bot and walk away. What will be the point of playing then when half the server is afk botting it up? The real point of this thread is WHY they didnt inform us and WHEN will they.

    The answer to why is simple, because PWCN doesnt inform PWE about everything beforehand, so the people at PWE don't know about everything either...

    If PWE doesn't know then they can't inform anyone else either, in this case, what China wants is what China gets and gives to others.

    If there really IS going to be a full functional in-game bot, it would be a reason to remove DQ, as there are plenty of people who are/were abusing DQ with bots already this would just encourage more people to do so, which will take away a feature from PWI players who played fair.

    But in the end, everything is speculation until they tell us the reasoning they put behind it, until then all the playerbase can do is guess.

    I completely agree with you about the problem of players being not informed about big forthcoming changes but I just don't get the idea of in-game bot. People get lazy and this will kill the game b:sad

    This sounds reasonable but nevertheless I think PWI should do something to please both the players and China. I believe it could be less traumatic for players if PWI just announced they don't know how to solve the problem so far. We are all reasonable people, aren't we?

    Maybe they are still in trouble thinking how to deal with it now. Chinese version doesn't have this DQ points system as far as I know so when they changed things with DQ items in game they didn't bother about PWI. And yes, we are still waiting for the promised blog.

    Heya Geno,

    Since I don't really feel like joining the ranting and raving within the general forum section I figured I might as well give pm'ing you directly a go...

    It was stated last week there would be a blog post about the phasing out of DQ rewards, is there any word on this yet so far?
    Or are the GM's left in the dark as to why this is happening as well?

    It would be great to have some updated info about it b:pleased

    Cheers!
    Hi Demhealsman, the Community team is writing this blog as we speak. The issue is that we weren't sure if we wanted to remove the DQ earlier or later, and whether we wanted to implement anything in its place.

    I'm not personally aware of what will be on the blog, so I'll be watching for it as much as you.

    So there you have it

    Well tyvm for that, but i still have an issue with the whole thing cuz seriously they knew ahead of time they were going to remove DQ and they never bothered to tell us. Instead they did what they did last maintenance and said lets see if they notice. So i look forward to this blog cuz i for one wanna know what they are gonna do.

    Yea well im not holding my breath trust me xD. I have shouted my voice all over forums and so have others and we need to continue to do so till we get answers. It is so nice that they can answer a single persons question from a private message but why couldnt they just make that post on forums. Not much more effort to make a post as it is to respond to a private message. Regardless of that though, they are as far as they say working on the blog so all we can do is wait, and let them know we are waiting.

    can we have a count of the days we have been waiting for an answer? i for one do not buy into the whole bs of "we have to wait for China". PWI your customers are upset!!! when you have people threatening to quit in masses this is what you do: you find a way to make them happy. you pick up the phone and call your boss and say OMG people are not happy! we must fix this!! your boss calls his boss and so on. so simple!

    one way to really make people mad is to ignore them. do you read the blogs players post about what awful service you give? how much of a trash game PWI is? i recently looked at some gaming sites and it is down right embarrassing to admit i play this game. i had no idea this game had such a bad reputation. can you please prove them wrong and start communicating with your players?

    You can grind more.

    I have now 31k DQ points, yesterday had 30k DQ points, although I had not time to grind DQ. I think, that at weekend I will have 50k DQ points.

    Greetings PWI community,

    We here on the PWI team have indeed been reading the forum posts/threads on this subject, and have been collecting as much information as we can for what's to come. We hear your voice, and know we are taking heed. However, I cannot give an exact date as to when the new system will be launched, as details are still changing due to the new system still being worked on.

    We have not released a blog post (as of yet) on what's to come due to this reason. We rather not post something that is constantly changing every week, thus confusing everyone until the release of the new system.

    As such, I can only at this point give out the following information:

    -There is a new system being worked on to replace the DQ system


    The reason we have decided to phase out the current DQ system, is that it frankly wasn't living up to our standards in terms of reliability and consistency. Many problems with the DQ point update system and reward redemption flow would all too often have issues, giving both you and us many headaches. Thus it has been decided to create a brand new system that can be much more stable for the future.

    I will be updating this thread as I gain concrete information that I can pass on to you, the community.

    Until that point, we'd love for you to give us your thoughts on what you personally would like to see in the new DQ system, because as has been mentioned, it has not been finalized yet.

    We still have time to make changes before its release.

    Please, discuss and I am open to PMs. (not only Genotypist!)

    All replies can be posted here:
