Bring Back Most Fun Event Since 2008 - XNW

The people that do NW are in favor of XServer... that's because people like me who think xserver is a joke stopped going. I will be attending the old style NW because that's something actually resembling balance.

Agreed. I've been to two xross-server NW's. Only one was remotely fun.​​

Honestly, make it where there is a server NW on Friday night and a xserver NW on Sunday. With xserver NW get rid of the commander, they are not necessary and most commander buy the position so they make a ton of profit and do nothing but sit in the base.

Well, suppose it was fun for europeans on the US servers to be able to attend at a normal time for once.
Server transfer never.​​

100% agreed to bring it back even if its modified.
Most fun event PWI had-to date. It was challenging, and getting to know and talk to people in game from other servers really was a blast.

Right now, TW, NW and RW are all crusty and stale. Fighting the same people... booooring.

IF PWI could manage to:
Remove the commander feature and make XNW like old NW where squads go in to random nations I think more people would enjoy and stop QQing about unbalance.​​

People that like regular NW are basically just in it for casual playing for good rewards.
Cross-server NW really only catered to people that actually like a challenge, and dont care so much about the reward.

And to me its fine that PWI chooses to cater to the casual players that like to take it easy, but imo to compensate for the people that are more interrested in a challenge I still think the Dragon Conquest season should be extended so those serious figths go on for a longer period of time.

Funning thing is now that reverted back the prices for things like SOW have dropped dramically. Venders were buying SOW for 6x the manu now its back to less than a mil. What those people who qq about it don't understand is that xnw offered a good solid way to grind for coins.

I give it 2 weeks before im taking suggestions for NW that you cant squad b4 entering...

The balance is wrong. Flame has a disadvantage because of location etc.

@sylenthunder Ill bet they give us the LARGE map rather than the small one. Or has this been taken into account? Little let down by the update many people are asking me about things and all I can say Is the servers are full for that instance. Really the system should give like a 102 error.​​

I know nothing more on that. I agree that it definitely needs some work. I'm hoping that they were able to increase the max entries at least. Half of it is what we/PWE wants, and the other half is what China/Wanmei will actually code for our version.

Would make sense to have a lot more settings Dynamic than Static. Like NW time.

I just wonder sometimes. Hopefully the extra racks will be enough. their where a few people who said the resource limit would be bad.​​

Bring XnW back, but not Server vs Server vs Server vs Server, mix all the players/groups just like the original NW.

Now I am not a coder or anything so I have no idea if that idea will ever become alive or if it's worth the effort.

No, do not bring cross-NW back. It was a good decision. The way it was set was NOT fair and enjoyable for most players. Some reasons for this being a failure is said by zoube

zoube said:

XNW was a great idea, but a few things ruined it: unbalanced servers, Commander system needed an improvement, Time of event was a problem for some people, one nw instead of two, difficulties to find guild mates, no BL or filters for nation chan... I think some of these problems were not making people fighting as team, they were pushed to go solo.

Also, I don't think Wanmei is going to make changes for our version, at least, not easily as they're trying to mirror it with the CN version as much as possible. I don't see them removing the commander feature, neither making the nations random to fix the balance issue. So, no. At least people who need gear up (and NW is the only farm-able way for some items), or wants some more balanced fight can have a chance.

For just THIS announcement, and no even a TRUE event, I already see the prices of SoW drop 6x!!! See, merchants were inflating prices 6x than normal to make profit from the misery of the event. I can't say I am not happy seeing them fail, and have losses of profit xD I know tokens were rarer with all this BS of xNW, but people were clearly exploiting others for coins (BIG greed+manipulation of prices). So, Thanks PWI for making the right decision.

And BTW, you can make the poll or whatever survey you want to take PWI players' impressions over xNW. I am pretty sure, the NO, don't bring it back will win by large margin, bc most people see the old way as more fair.

Actually, I decided to take the thread as a suggestion, because you guys are really asking for xnw to be returned, which is a suggestion. So I brought it here from GD. Activity on the thread hasn't diminished at all since it was moved.

Domino is aware, as is the rest of the team, and he has stated that they are still talking about it.​​

this is confusing. first people complain about xnw and demand old nw back. so they changed it back. now there's more complaints and demanding the return of xnw. people need to make up their minds. i can get that with op being the leader of one of Etherblades top (in my opnion cause i know others will disagree) TW factions it makes sense that they would want to bigger challange of xnw as they can handled the unbalance of it being top gear JOSD +12(as he said, been a while since i last randomly looked at his gear). But for i would wager that most of the players on any server are not fully maxed out, simply because it's freaking expensive regardless if you farm coin or spend cash, and dont have as much fun with the event because even with what could be good gear are constantly one-shot by the maxed out players. I tend to escape spawn killing, but i still get one shotted. r9rr armor +5 with some gems (still working on the weapon, hard to do being on disability and can only save a couple dollars a week plus hours on Jolly Jones to afford it, it's taken years, but i'm still going for it). I'm not trying to complain here, just trying to be real about the entire situation and thinking about it from both sides of the argument.
and on another note as far as xnw, i wasnt sure to laugh at or pity that one guy who bought his way to be commander with a massive army of alts for several weeks in a row even taking up all three election slots one week (yeah he claimed that he only bid the minimal amount for all three slots that week, but he's never been trustworthy in my book). But i never knew if it was because he was just so desperate to be commander, or because he knew he wouldnt get many votes without his alt army.
just my observations as to that whole situation. of course seeing as i'm not a big name on Etherblade, and dont want to be, this will probably get looked at me being jealous or butthurt, and to that i laugh, because they know i'm telling the truth

Anyone who like Cross server Nation Wars was probally from Dawn glory.
They just miss the vast amount of tokens they were making. Now that they have to fight each other its balanced.

Please guys and sylen check this:
arcgames.com/en/forums/pwi#/discussion/1205084/we-really-miss-xnw

We are many that want the challenge back. Please give it us back like 1 day for regular NW in each server, another day for xNW that would solve everything !!

Will Log.

with Notes.

Thanks.​​
