Things that you would like the pwi devs to bring back.

As the title suggests, lets make a list of things that we miss that used to be in game, that some of us would like to see put back into game.

Disclaimer: This is NOT an official post, nor is it a suggestion thread, some of the things some of us will say we want back will already have been suggested to be brought back, but has been shot down for one reason or another. Still if you want to see something back in game feel free to post it here.

Anyways i'll start.

(In no particular order, and I will do my best to keep this first post updated.)

1. Maintenance warning in game. (yes maints are on the same night each week, but sometimes they are skipped, the last minute warning's make it hard to want to play/do an instance when a possible maintenance is coming. I am not saying I want a warning every 15 minutes, but a 30 minute warning would be nice.. surely it's not too hard to make an auto message that alerts us to impending downtime.)

2. Coins in delta (yes this has been shot down so to speak... it ruined the instance almost no one is interested in doing full deltas anymore sadly.. sure there is pages, frags, etc... but meh the coins were loads better.... thank goodness for bh rewards. xD)

--

Yes this is just a couple, I am sure some will disagree with those two, but still there they are, what are some of the things you miss that you feel pwi devs could actually bring back. (Lets try to avoid the 100k gold talk... I think its safe to say that would be extremely bad for them, ergo it is out of the realm of feasibility unfortunately.)

    Coins in Delta - totally agreed with u, I love delta and I used to farm it a lot during x2, now it's just pointless.

    Nirvana ofc, my favourite instance :(

    Heroic Chest glitch b:chuckle

    Challenge, effort, fun and feeling of accomplishing something while running (used to hard) instances with friends.

    Old prices of DoTs and DoDs b:chuckle (5-7 mil each) b:chuckle

    Tradeable r8r mats

    Base trials with better rewards

    That's very nostalgic for some reason.

    Also, huge yes to the actual Mist City/Renegade. I only got to try them once on private server and it was so nice :(

    Well at least I get to see Mist City in Warsong but...Renegade D:...**** you Nirvana.

    Huge yes to base trials with better rewards or rewards tailored to fit our version of PW (I think trials are still popular in PWCN?).

    Seeing people just hanging around FB19 instances hoping they could do someone's FB run for exp which happened sooner rather than later b:shocked

    Doing BH29 (yea ikr) by going into Secret Passage and just asking in normal chat for a squad and finding one, WCing for that was overkill lol.

    More recently tho, the ability of the general player base or inability to do a lvl 80-90 FC run, we all know why and with my first 2 points just shows how much this game has changedb:surrender

    Removal of FC being hyper-level only. Reduce the amount of xp by half, and insert old FC farm-able materials to make those forges useful for a change.

    Fixed Monthly Races

    More GM presence in WC/In Game (This includes GM spawned events)

    "A New Day" message, to let us know that we have spent entirely too many hours of the day playing.

    World Bosses (Do they even exist anymore?)

    Old CoA and Tiger Event

    Coins in RB, increased drops (we spend a few hours in there, give us something)

    Frequent updates to Boutique. Mounts & Fliers in particular.

    (Pretty much what everyone else said) As far as what I'd like to see fixed/added in? Thats a whole 'nother thread.

    This was removed for botting and will not be put back in.


    I would love to see some of the game txt put back in.

    Second Sort out Nirvana! (This is gonna be high on most peoples list) Put someting in like Bacic Badge per boss. OR even chests that contain them that expire if not opened. or something.

    put back in the weekley race! YES!

    You quoted it without an origin so was wondering your source.

    As far as I know it wasn't because of botting, but a Delta glitch that caused it's downfall (and the first breaking of Secret Passage). Since the glitch is gone, I'll share. It was possible to put a cleric in bb near the start of delta but not in the mobs path and it would glitch Harpy to not receive any damage so you didn't have to protect it from mobs. All you had to do was kill the boss at the end of each stage to advance. So afk delta's were pretty much possible and exploited.

    They tried to fix Delta and it broke SP. They fixed SP and it broke Delta. Eventually, coins were removed and I thought that was just persuasion/punishment against full deltas.

    I'd fix it where Plvl wasn't around and people learned their toon and where people didn't need high lvl to do the instances for them.

    Coins in full delta would be nice back id do more FD as much as i hate that instance. it was nice coin!

    Hmm i'm not sure what else.

    Definitely coins in RB (if botting was the problem, that's just ridiculous to me... you have to sit through the entire delta to get the coins, so even if it is easy for you it takes long enough that you deserve the coins. It isn't something you can afk in like people that bot easy stuff.)

    Old Aba and SoT for sure. They should have just made the new versions for the weekly only. The old ones were my favorite BHs and now I just don't run BHs anymore.

    An AH that isn't broken.

    Fairy boxes in TT solo mode.

    DQs that are worth farming.

    Being able to farm FF gear.

    I would like the old Sot and Aba, the new ones are divided into ridiculously easy bhs and incredibly tedious weeklys.

    Sot used to be my favorite instance, but now I'm in it all of 6 minutes and then its off to collect more chips b:shutup

    And I mean Sot before they added Lord of Captivation.

    I would like to go back to when the most attack levels or defense levels anyone had MAX was like 6 with really OP gear b:chuckle

    Thats pretty much it for me. Every other thing I could want back will never be, and any boredom I may have with the game these days is mostly due to being 103 and being able to do everything I need to do every day in like 20 minutes.

    With dq gone there is no reason to grind, with my server pretty much dead I have better ways to spend my time than wasting time or teles trying to find a bh squad most days. My friends hardly play anymore, and I'm basically waiting for new content or for them to actually add the content properly they hyped up 2 months ago...

    Well I would like fb blessings brought back too lol
