Good evening PWI players!

We will be having our regular server maintenance tonight at 11pm PST. Tonight's maintenance will have a patch!

Tonight's maintenance will include Althea spawns that were not captured during last weeks' maintenance, so 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

    Hi Kalyst,

    I would call that mount:
    • Psychotic Red Panda Mount
    • Armored Trash Panda Mount
    Also unrelated questions: I've heard that the requirements for the new culti are lv. 103 as well as Twilight Sky I. For the level, does it mean it has to be current level, or can it be in the demon book (aka historical levels)?

    When will the TW winners be announced? I believe the last day of the season was last week.

    @scattcatt None tonight-just a Cash Shop update! As we get closer and closer to an expansion release, patches tend to not have much going in aside from Cash Shop updates or the occasional last minute localization changes. (or, if an emergency happens, then there will be notes)

    @candiiie TW season ends tonight! So winners will be officially announced after season close - either this Friday or next Monday depending on our localization turnaround times. Internally, we'll know much sooner than that and CS will be notified of the winners accordingly!

    Also it should count your historical levels, not your current levels, but official confirmation for these details and more will be in upcoming blogs! (This gives me the time to double check these things and gather up all the information that players really want and should know about these new areas, especially if our original patch notes had incorrect data!)

    @kalystconquerer#0876 I was also wondering the following:
    • Will Primal World quests get an increase in Vitae or rewards? Seems like every expansion buffs them up, it would be nice if it would be increased. I'm also hoping for more Ancient Gift rewards.
    • Are the old instances that is going to be used for the new cultivation going to be updated?

    Same landcount, and none of the factions own any city.

    Since a tie has occurred, we will look into it and see how to resolve it! I hope that we will not uncover anything...disappointing during this process, but I'm sure everything will turn out ok!

    @acesniper1991 No new classes this expansion, so you can rest easy if you were worried about having to gear up a brand new class.

    @kalystconquerer#0876 Sorry, I keep on asking questions. But I was wondering, it said somewhere in the forums that the defending TW Winners will get another exclusive title asides from Veni Vedi Vici. Is this still happening?

    Alright, all Althea spawns are done!

    If you did not receive it at this point, it could be due to a character name mismatch or characters not appearing on the same account/server.

    @candiiie Those titles were only specifically for that season, as that was something Orinj had whipped up. He is still around the company by the way, but he is extremely busy so that's why no one's seen him on the forums since last year (or early this year - it's been a while!)

    @beast21g Since the data for these items technically does not exists in our current version (item IDs), they'll have to be handled post expansion launch. It's an unfortunate byproduct of being behind the CN version a sizeable amount of time :(

    All my checks and NPC spawns are completed - it is now up to CN to finish up their side of things. Thank you for your patience!

    "Tonight's maintenance will include Althea spawns that were not captured during last weeks' maintenance, so please be aware that this will impact maintenance times."
    It's a simple script that can be done live. Why PWI can't seem to figure out how not to take forever offline what can be done live is a wonder
    Also, why a patch for boutique update. PWI proven they can at least partially do that live when flash sales come in and out of the boutique all the time

    @kalystconquerer#0876 But from my understanding, if the faction is able to defend their title as TW winner, they will receive another special title. Is it still possible to make one? Here's hoping it isn't too much to ask as it was mentioned before.

    Also, are old rewards such as the event gold will be handed out to TW winners in conjunction with these new ones? I'm also glad @orinj hasn't left us!
