    Ahh....I was wondering what was going on. I haven't played Perfect World for a while (hasn't been too long though) and I saw this new expansion and the 95 thing and I was so excited for it :) I've been playing for about 4 years, more like almost 3) and my highest level is 41, how sad. So this is pretty cool... A little disappointed that I have to wait, but what can ya do? Things happen. I never check the forums - glad I did.

    IKR and thanks, your post gave me a nice chuckle this morning.

    Also, for anyone posting to ask why Sparkie hasn't updated it today, he's very likely still asleep. It's only 5:30am in PWE-land.

    Sparkie, is there any possiblility that we can be warned before you send out these pills just in case we are on the wrong alt at the time? ( say, 24 hours notice? )

    It won't be until after the patch, and the warning before hand will come in the other thread on that subject and possibly on FB as well.

    You'll just have to keep an eye on the information, and if you don't, assume that it's a possibility when you log in after the patch.

    You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take mate. I'd suggest you to just completely uninstall it, run some registry cleaning program(s) (for e.g. CCleaner), a Virus Scan/Bootup Scan, and if nothing is wrong with your computer, do a fresh reinstallation. This often fixes the problem itself already. Good luck.

    Red flashing on the edges of your screen when you come close to dying is LAME. This is not a first person shooter. TAKE IT OFF. OMG we didnt like the pop up asking us to buy guardian scrolls what makes you think we want this? A distraction when you are close to dying does not help one survive.

    I have read thru alot of the forum. However, unless I missed it, no one has reported that there are no pickaxes at the Merchants now.

    So only SOME people are able to hyper fc. I demand a roll back. So you have some people that are able to run and hyper level in FC while the rest of us are just screwed. This is a huge unfair advantage for the people that are unable to do so. Therefore that should warrant a rollback to prevent others from gaining on this unfair advantage of hyperleveling. Please fix this.

    Yes, because we all know life is ALWAYS fair.

    Another issue that is annoying to me and many i have spoken with....when you click a link for gear or hover over a piece of gear that isn't ON you you see your gear next to it. While it CAN be helpful its more annoying then anything. Covering my whole screen just to look at one thing from a link is a bit annoying.

    STOP ASKING FOR A ROLLBACK.

    There isnt going to be a rollback and its good to be that way.
    Things can be changed in good without having a rollback
    Having a rollback means for some of us that we worked in vain to be were we are. And I am talking especially for those that have made new classes.
    But I think some people dont know what a rollback means.
    I am bad at english and cant find proper words to explain it myself so please if someone that knows english better than me can explain to this noobs what a rollback means.

    a roll back means we ALL go back to when the expansion started and incases of mains 101 ra2 etc.. it goes back to when we first logged in on the server... so no bhs done etc... in cases of the new classes they go back to level 1... if pleveling servers are the case PWI can roll back toons not servers...

    Ty for explaining
    thats why a roll back is a bad idea. Cause you got to start all over again.

    Also, have the people crying about wanting a rollback even tried leveling just through questing? They have seriously boosted the xp and equipment rewards for the lower levels, and with jones' blessing aoe'ing mobs in one hit is simple. It took only a few hours to hit lvl 30+ while completing cultivations and quests for targeted goals. Pretty sure our server doesn't have hyper FCCs, but I also don't see a point for it, either.

    This, at least TRY leveling first. I know in some cases, people literally stood there on their new toons for hours at a time doing nothing but complaining that they had to level the legitimate way. Oh, heaven forbid you have to do it the "hard way" like some of us vets. I think some people don't realize how much is being handed to them now...

    HALLELUYAH finally someone with a brain. this game has become easier and easier to lvl over the years. try playing here just 5 years a go. no FC no pit just straight up leveling from grinding. it would take months to hit 70 not days like it does now. STOP CRYING ABOUT FC AND LEARN YOUR DAMN TOON!!

    Morai items such as expeirience jade no longer allow you to use 20 a day. I used only 4 and it said i couldnt use anymore. Yet another thing changed with no warning....but the item still says you can use 20 a day.

    Seeing as how we have officially launched, I wanted to make a thread to let you all know of the issues we are aware of and fixing.

    1. The Illusionary Pill: The plan was for this to launch at 12 Noon today, so you could all get your free level 95. An issue arose last minute, and the item on live servers, does not work in the intended way. We're pushing out a small patch tonight, to fix the issue. Because of this, the pill will be delayed a tiny bit. I'll post back with any updates once we get them from China.

    2. Dawn of The Eclipse Raffle: http://www.arcgames.com/en/games/pwi/news/detail/9011023-dawn-of-eclipse-raffle! - In relation to the pill issue, this also had to be delayed for the same reasons. The new date is reflected on the blog, 12/24/14 - 1/23/15

    3. NW Forge - This was not intended and will be changed. I'll keep you updated with how and when.

    4. Hypers in FC - Again, not an intended change and we've made the developers aware.

    New Updates

    - No patch as of tonight, 12/17. I'll update in the morning when I get news of how the patch is coming along.

    - There are no plans currently, for a rollback.


    If you come across anything else, please let me know in this thread so I can make the right people aware, and get a fix out asap.

    Hello Sparkie, I saw that dreamchaser packs don't give Duskblade/Stormbringer's weapons... please fix that too :)

    And the prices for Uncanny and Rapture Crystal have gone overboard b:surrender , was that ment to be like that?

    I thoroughly understand the disappointment with the glitches in this patch; however, as disappointed as I am I don't think stooping to insults and childishness is going to help anything.

    I hadn't realized the rep and exp jade in Morai is glitched also. Good to know.

    I hope that the npc prices on weapon and armor drops increase. there has to be some way for the farmers to make money.

    If I click the Event button twice it should close again, but it don't. I think several menus have similar problem.

    Edit: The button was covered with invisible graphics, just move menu and it be fine. I feel I have heard this story before.

    Same ****, different patch. It's the cycle of PWI Expansion Days.

    Every single update that's been released for this game has been riddled with undocumented and/or unintended changes to the game. You'd think that PWRD, a $760 million dollar publicly-traded company, would improve service quality after a few botched deployments, but nothing's really changed. The consistency in their poor performance is more impressive than anything else, really.

    It's always a quick race to exploit all the glitches for gain before they're fixed. They won't punish abusers in accordance with the severity, as they've demonstrated before. PWI has no idea what they're doing, lol.

    Agreed. It really is quite sad....especially considering this is one expansion that I actually enjoy.

    Noobs.
