First reply.

I would like to see something Fresh and more active points for the Dailys. What I don't want to see is new gears any time soon. I still have not caught up from last time!

razzzza · September 2015

i wish dailys would be removed and we just can get skills on the fly

one can dream

kittyempressa · September 2015

Moar dailies for yet another kind of blood. And moar primal skills that require some super-rare skill books. And yet another boundary and some system that requires doing stuff daily to upgrade for more stats(like star chart) and ofc CSer way to make it OP instantly.

I would like for the next big update to be the Upgrade to the Angelica III engine that they stated they were going to do almost two years ago.
Might be nice if they had a big update that just fixed bugs that have been around since 2008 also.

And stickied, since we aren't likely to see an official thread. Will change if we actually get one.

Not really to compete, so much as it would be so that the client can actually use the benefits of a PC made since 2005. And maybe DX10 instead of the current DX8/9.

Wow...yet again we have @heero200 stepping up because their is no official thread.

groovykat · September 2015

Looks like we got a log in event starting after maintenance.

testxvi · September 2015

I want to see new and better ways to get star chart materials

goddesskitten · September 2015

I want back the gst or chips back for finish the weapon

asterelle · September 2015

I'm up for R10. I'm sick of being stuck with auto attack gear when auto attack doesn't work anymore.

chary · September 2015

Pipe dream: r9/Matchless/CoM/DoTs/DoDs all farmable in-game via instances. And I don't mean farm coin to buy gold.

I'd like to see less of CS-only **** and endless dailies, but that's also a pipe dream.

midnightstarrz · September 2015

so you wanna replace endless dailies with endless instance farming... not much difference imo xD

misanno · September 2015

oh and dyeable undergarmets

sylenthunder · September 2015

AAAND THE SERVERS ARE DOWN.

Hopefully there's not some major patch we weren't informed of.

projectlegion · September 2015

i vote to the modernization for the engine

alot of newer things in the game have updated textures while older things never got updated texture wise.just look at blademaster skill graphics compared to psy or stormbringer

midnightstarrz · September 2015

what i want to see is BH in nirvana... make use of the endless damn keys... ijs...

vertgod · September 2015

I want to see legit maint posts ... or someone should start paying Heero for doing their job for them.

bbypebble · September 2015

The NEW DQ SYSTEM promised would be nice. Oh ... I almost forgot... Add different ways to get EVENT GOLD!!! PWI choice to limit the item other than to put money in the game and randomly throw events for it... is anoying. Add a daily or just bring DQ back. You already made the drops completely useless from mobs.

Yes yes I did lol.

orangeladey · September 2015

Is it okay to want some of the old stuff back? Like the old wraith attacks in the race villages? I just liked how it felt that PWI was at war, as the game storyline indicated, and random attack just seemed to be part of that.

Course I'd also like it if ALL the one time events got cameos again. I'm thinking that since they often need to throw/reset so-called 'switches' to get events running, that setting up a script that triggers a randomly event at an odd time intervals (like 11 hours, or 25 hours, something that shifts the event times so that people around the world have events in their time, eventually.)

I'd also like more rep giving quests. Spelling/Grammar/consistency fixes. My sound card to quit choking and dying on any game I play.

Well, feel free to ignore the delusions of someone who feels they can't really do anything because they are leveling TOO fast. <_< That's the biggest downside to what I want, is I don't like the huge xp rewards XD

this times 100! some of my toons have over 60 of these and cant do a thing with them! need those barb bloods more haha. but yes more dailies or way to get the new bloods for more passive skills . . . and more class skills.

as a side i wish an update for the starcharts not to give my barb mag attack and magic penatration bonus or general for heavy class, i guess more like the meridian in that idea.

also want rb/ra 3 for reasons of because

Honestly from what you're describing, I'd be playing another game and I'd recommend one to you if it wouldn't get censored on the forums, cuz rules. That has almost all of what you're looking for and the base game is now F2P, the update coming in October you'd have to buy though. Its only a 50$ investment for thousands of hours of gameplay.

What I'd like to see in the next update is something, anything good to improve the archer class. But that is too much to ask for or a pipedream entirely. I can't even fight end game duskblades on Etherblade server, there are only 3 of them. But hitting 900s on them just because of their self buff is absurd. You've almost entirely negated the archer class at this point PWI, congratulations!

I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure a game which doesn't take 30-50$ per active player on average (F2P games = some pay way more, most pay nothing or almost nothing), won't survive on the market.

* staff costs (developement, maintenance, support, administration, management, upper management, jurists)
* hardware + provider costs
* energy costs (maintenance of building + servers)
* rent, custodians, cleaners
* taxes and so on

Real world is tough. I agree they made many failures (e.g. typical stupid hire and fire mentality of US Amercians which they did spread all over the world to destroy solidarity and motivations).
But it's impossible for a single company to break out of the existing system. You have to generate a huge income every month just to survive on the market. And even if they generate enough income to survive, that's not enough for the owners and shareholders. They want PROFIT. Big profit. They believe in "working money" (never saw a working dollar tbh).

Good luck with your "new MMORPG". At the current stage of development all MMORPGs are the same: open world, instances, questing, farming, mob kills, boss kills, looting, gearing up, level up skills, parties, raids, PVP, chatting
= finger fights.
The main difference imo is the graphic style (no one cares about the background story anyway).

What I would like to see in a big update? An editor (for houses, NPCs, trees and so on). And best user-generated content should be taken over to the game (there are still so many very ugly NPCs around, we should change that)

Wraith attacks still occur, they just aren't announced. They broke that when they reduced the Duke Spam after they gave use packs. (With the exception of Hidden Orchid. That one was announced, but never ever spawned. Now we just don't hear it failing.)
