Still not fixed? How much longer PWI?!

Velra - Dreamweaver

So got to get this out there cuz it's buggin' me to no end!

We are getting yet more new stuff added to the game but still there are things that for YEARS (Years PWI!) have not been fixed! Now I don't have all of the glitches and broken quest so PLEASE! feel free to add any you know of, screen shot are welcome too. Maybe if we post this here the GMs will finally fix what is broken! Now, now I'm not against new content, it's not that at all but it is just nuts that the old content is not being fixed! And before you ask...YES I HAVE DONE TICKETS!

Here are the ones I can think of off hand. (I'll be happy to add more)

FB 59 Disaster, Ofo The tab NEVER takes and people end up having to use it on another boss.

FB 89 Brim, the last tab boss (Help me here is it Hellfire?) tab NEVER takes and people end up having to use the tab on other bosses.

Rubber banning from hell on bridges in AEU.

Veno instance, message is incorrect (Says "Fire resistant but is not")

Repeat of quests and answers to quests. (Like double postings)

Sigh, Games are made of Code, loong lines of gibberish code, MMOs like PWI or WoW may have millions of code lines. Problem is that over the years developers changed, and original Studio that made the game is not there anymore and Wan Mei took over a game and started developing it further, however they weren't the one who WROTE the code in the first place hence they don't know how to edit the existing stuff, they can only add new content on top of it (New zones, Classes, features). It's just like playing Jenga game, It's easy to build on top of it but pulling block out of the tower may collapse everything if you don't know what you're doing. so it's the same here, editing existing code without knowing what it does, what it's connected to may create bugs glitches or even make the game crash for people. That's why some things in this game are doomed to stay the way they are..forever. I don't even think the guys who made Rising Tide Expansion are here anymore. Lastly PWI has no developers, only admins and server operators, every change in the game comes from Chinese devs I think they're the only one who can fix the glitches.

Edit: I did a little search and the found the answer right here on the forum! Original Studio was called ''Archosaur'' and apparently with the new Expansion it will come back to developing the game, so they might balance some stuff out and fix the other... Giving Perfect World a renovation. Hopefully, since they know how the game works. Your prayers may have been answered

Well that's what bata server are for. I've tested a bunch of games and so I know that the content they released should be getting tested, if the are not doing that then it's poor workmanship and that is so totally on them. And if the GMs they have now, and I'll quote you here "don't what you (they) are doing" then they need to get some GMs that do! There is no reason why they are not testing thing BEFORE putting it live in the game. Look at the code they past out and the ensuing glitch, that has happened before, they knew it had and they did NOTHING to prevent it happening again. Not saying the players are angels in this but COME ON PWI!

If these GMs worked for me some heads would be rolling!

I've never had a issue with ofo and tabbing. Unless it's a new thing. Glutt is the one that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.

Nor do i rubber band in AEU o.O maybe it's just me.

You need to understand that all bug reports are sent to China to fix. China then try to duplicate the bugs on their Dev client (yes they have one and a public test server). Providing China can duplicate the issue, they then decide it's effect on the game and whether it is a priority to fix. Guess what? Your list there, is not a priority. It doesn't majorly effect the running of the game.

With Ofo, don't tab it until he's almost dead. Hellfire Abomination is Seat of Torment, you're thinking of Etheral Abomination. But the last tab boss is Fats. I've never, in the past 3 years, ever had a problem with tabbing Fats.

Rubber banding? Rubber banding is client to server lag which is better known as ping. You're rubber banding due to lag, not to glitches.

Before you go on your shouting of "FIX YOUR DAMN GAME PWI!" remember that PWI have no real power here. As GMs, all they have access to is the "iWeb" and with it their server's databases. All the iweb really does is mass mail players, broadcast system messages every xxx minutes, grant's/revoke's GM status, starts the "Server will shutdown in 300 seconds" message, sends a certain amount of gold to an account, etc. They don't have access to the actual development of the game. Remember, PWE is a publisher, not a developer.

You, nor anyone else, is in any position to say the GM's don't know what they're doing. Game Masters are a customer service position for the most part. They don't have anything to do with the development or the coding of the game. Again, the content is tested in China before being sent to PWI for release. Any bugs that are found, are China's area of craftsmanship to fix.

Keep in mind that code is a very fragile thing. No game will ever be without a single glitch. The fun thing is, you can fix something, but you can guarantee that something else will break. It's just how it goes. Nothing can be 100% glitch free. It can be sent from China in a very working condition. But as soon as the new client and server files are uploaded something can decide to throw a tantrum.

FB is for culti, not for lvling. Or you going to powerlvl without skills?
On the other hand, who cares tabs nowdays? NPC the useless tab and buy rep from cats 10k coins per badge. It's not that hard. Maybe you also do 20-20-20 in FB69 on your lvl? b:shocked

True but remember Perfect World isn't exactly top quality production MMO, and it's free which means they won't pay much attention to it as they do to Subscription model Chinese variant. I long ago accepted that PWI won't get it's stuff fixed, like Arena which is in every town but was never working, Try games like r--e--m--o--v--e--d By NotClever It's way more polished because originally it was P2P.

Perfect World (the original version 1, which was never licensed outside China) was (and still is) also subscription.

Both of the above are related to the same glitch. Both are extremely easy to do correctly so that they don't glitch. This has been fixed before, but thanks to the way we get our bastardized code that has to have thins different from the mainstream version of PW, it gets re-broken often.

FOr most of us that play the game enough to be aware of these things, it's a non-issue. For the vast number of people that just hyper and don't actually learn the game, I can see where it would be a problem.

This isn't an issue with the client. It's an issue with your CPU not being able to keep up with the graphics.

The more of these you bother to report in the respective areas, the more of them that will get fixed. It just takes time because our Dev's can't touch the code, and we have to wait for Wanmei to **** it up again.

^Agreed. Even the PWE developers are unable/not allowed to change the code on our servers. Even for simple fixes.

Not to mention that they are a lot farther behind the F2P versions as far as releases. (IIRC, they only just got the tideborn about a year ago.)
