PWI Eclipse Expansion Preview, launching 12/16

Boomz - Harshlands

I find this interesting and halarious that people are freaking out that archers are being nerfed. Let's clarify this.
1st, archers aren't being nerfed nor are other classes being buffed or being anti archer, it is solely the new classes which will be the counter to archer.
2nd, the buffs that are anti archer are marginal, it is the new classes passive a that are the true nurf and therefore not transferable.
3rd, why is this happening? It is not solely because archers cross server out gear all other classes (which they do). But rather it is because archer have the best of all worlds current having all the redeeming qualities of multiple classes (stealth and purge for instance) without a distinct counter (you can't counter purge). Now they will have a class that directly counters then both in damage, range, and anti purge.

Oh o.o

But...but...couple NWs ago Kitty dual-cliented her semi-geared sin and purged ppl with T2-bow 'cause rb'd and not enough dex for daggers without gears. And Kitty saw boofs go away after shooting for some time. But maybe it was just illusion or there was a stealthed veno ._.

And what about TT99 green purge-pike? Kitty though any class can purge with it since with full T3 HA-armors any class should have enough stats to use it ._.

A sin can be kited, if they don't stun lock you first. An archer cannot. Which is why I hate them QQ

What prevents you from just running into their face and troll tanking them?

Because *sniff* I never get the chance, they usually snipe me when I'm busy with someone else.

from my point of view

archers are the easiest class to kill in either 1on1 and mass pvp

it is probably because china has S+ sets released, that provide major tankiness to LAs, as well as greater damage increase, but in here we dont even have affordable Nuema Portals


PWCH calibrated the pvp balance upon endgame S+ card set,

on our game version we can pretty much say don't even have S sets
some american dev has to do something about it, else we will keep our **** archers and op sins

PvP wise, if you, as sin, go around with a G15 bow trying to purge people, you will be very vulnerable. I have never seen a sin using a bow in pvp to try to purge someone.

What normal sin have 245 STR to wear a crappy TT99 green pole? You don't get enough stats with T3 LA armor set. Again, if you try to purge someone with a pole as sin, consider yourself fried fish.

Where do S+ cards come from ?

There is only one set of S+ or there are more than one ?

Imo they should calibrate the cards like sins have lower patk for destroyer/battle than balancing upon endgame S+ card set and resulted in 'nerfing' archers by too much before having those S+.
(Just like how they gave a godly stun to barbs and bms because of purify spell in r9.3 weapons, while there are still ppl without r9.3 and they pvp too.)

I had to really dig up for his post, but he mentioned almost 3 weeks ago this:

I'll have an official announcement coming up within the next week or so about the new expansion. As you can imagine, we've been pretty busy getting everything ready for this expansion, in hopes that we can give you all the information you guys deserve.

As for the maintenance this week, I was never given any solid date on when we could actually do it (since the holidays threw everything out of the loop). Unfortunately, when I made the post (right before I posted it), that was the only time I was really sure it wasn't even going to happen, since I had originally started that post to state that the maintenance was going to start Thursday. Once I started though, I was told that it wouldn't happen because there was a server error on our side and China. So because of all that, I had to change my post to "No maintenance". It sucks, and I wish I could have known earlier to let you guys all know, but I had to go off what I was given. Unfortunately, that wasn't a whole lot.

Sadly, seems like time is truly an abstract concept b:surrender .
In actuality, I simply assume he isn't allowed to post anything or they have had delays concerning the patch, so he forgot to say the announcement will be postponed.

Thanks For Digging it out b:thanks

N Yes i guess time truly is abstract b:shocked

Possibly they have their hands full with the expansion.... but well maybe we might get some info next maintenance b:pleased

They are going to have anti-purge that's right I remember reading that ... Now on the harshlands this is going to be funny as we have tirades of alt veno's that try to purge in pvp. I see a lot of people getting really angry really fast xD

The french and german websites released a teaser of the new update:

It seems about this and other stuff coming THIS month. FFS. I need more time, they can't release it this year...**** you PWE!

From those screenshots it looks like the names they picked are:
Expansion: PWI Eclipse
Race: Nightshade
Nightshadow: Duskblade
Moon Fairy: Stormbringer

Might as well rename this thread, I don't feel like starting a new one. Can a mod change the title of this thread to
"PWI Eclipse Expansion Preview, launching 12/16”

EDIT: Here's the english link http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/pwi/news/detail/9007823-pwi-eclipse-overview%21

for those posting that they are at odds as to which cultivation to choose....


take into consideration that this expansion also includes dual culti, in that you can choose one path, then switch but keep certain skills at the old lvl11 version.

basically all you are doing is picking which spark you want and then mix n match the skills. you do however need to plan ahead and make your first culti choice according to what you ultimately want to be.

? Is this true? I could be reading wrong, but I feel like your saying this.

Say I am a sin. I choose sage to get sage tidal then I switch and become a demon for demon spark. Will I still get to keep sage tidal even if I'm a demon now? No I am not a sin.

No... If you have sage tidal, it turns into demon tidal. There is no way you can mix sage and demon skills in PWI.

Will they have sage/demon/primal 79/100/morai skills from the start?

No, we will have to wait a pair of months for that.

The clone and skill-copy cat skill are 79 skills, so perhaps.

Why introduce auto-culti, earning time, and then a complete DQ nerf?

Yeah this is fairly stupid. why would pwi introduce a way to grind out items for coin then make it all worth a coin. this idea is beyond me.

They didn't introduced it exactly/only for that. It still can be useful for questing, lvling and farming crafting mats. b:chuckle

Stormbringer? Come on! That fits! They have only Lightning and Water Skills! It's actually better than being called a fairy (For my fellas out there that wanna be stormbringers)

On a serious side, no, moon fairy was a bit odd from the start, but a rephrase could have been moon chanters, moon reapers etc.
