Good evening PWI players!

We will be having our regular server maintenance tonight at 11pm PST. Tonight's maintenance will have no patch, just a restart!

Tonight we will be spawning the Soul Controller Saki cards from the Ultimate Spend promo! Please be aware that this will impact maintenance times.

*Tentative Duration*

Maintenance is expected to last approximately 4 hours, so during that time you will not be able to access the live servers.
*Maintenance times are tentative and are subject to change at any time. Actual end times will vary depending on the progress of the maintenance.

Thank you for your patience and we apologize for the inconvenience.

- The PWI Crew

    Any update on why some of our HS are inaccessible? I've been unable to get into mine for a while now, wondering if it's time to send a ticket in yet or not.
    No maint question tonight? o.oa
    (please make QSM 100 a Bh so more people do it)

    I see what you did there!! This is from the upcoming expansion!

    Can you test if the Celestial Schism works after you get the new Spiritual Cultivation? Pretty curious to know what happens, and if people can still change Cultivation after they get the new "merged" one.

    @catgirldesu I was almost worried no one was gonna comment on the strange random image! We honestly have not tried using schisms yet, as we're still plugging though the bulk of the content.

    All Saki spawns have been completed! As to the Homestead issue the CN engineers have rebooted the systems, so these should now be working! However if you are still unable to enter, please send in a ticket so we can have engineering check specific characters to see what else could be causing the issues.

    I see! I would appreciate if you can test it when you have spare time and let us know. There are a lot of people discussing changing cultivation and such for the next expansion since the runes will change the balance/mechanics of the class cultivations.

    It's going to be important for us to know whether we can still switch sides or we're sticking with our choice forever. Us common players can't test it freely without paying a price, which might hurt us in the end. See the case of Boundless R9 weapons for casters. monkey-27.gif

    I believe there won't be any problems with culti swapping. My guess is those skills are much like celestial skills and have two identical versions of it.

    Good thing the new content is on test server already. We have the chance to address some concerns from our player PoV since us players are not allowed to do the testing. More work for you, Kaly.:D

    Nobody thought Boundless R9 Purify Spell might be different than our R9 one, and yet here we are. tiger-27.gif Then we had the Primal World with no way to revert merged skills except for swapping cultivations to loose all upgrades. I'm not taking chances again, lol.

    I'm so glad to see Dreamweaver Port getting some love!
    It was one of my favorite places.

    Gotta admit that lil' mischievous fairy intrigues me more than anything else.

    They used to have a select group of players that would come help test stuff. I tested a few new PvP instance ideas back when frankieraye was CM. That stuff kinda fell apart after he left though, not really sure what happened.

    Good times. Other administration though. I wonder if the current staff could pull that off again. It does improve game experience when actual players dig through. On the other hand china has their own testers if I recall correctly. If that's the case maybe CN told our guys "hey, we have testers already, you just publish". But this is a topic for another time.

    So how long do i have to wait for my saki card or did they just forget about me

    @ebisama The only way you don't get your card is one of two ways 1) you were somehow missed in the datapull (highly unlikely but still something that could happen) or 2) your inventory was full and could not take a card. If it's the later, Customer Support should reach out to you about it, but I'm not entirely well versed in what happens with those specific cases so I'll ask to reconfirm.

    Can you give us any estimate when we players might see the new content? Or when we might be getting sneak peaks? This content update is something, which got lot of players more excited than they usually are over new content, and any info would be kewl.
