While I know this is a pretty touchy topic, I'd still want your guys feedback on it and I want to reach a solution that works for everyone. I've been in and out of meetings and discussions all day today about this, so this is at the forefront of my agenda (aside from the usual Dragon's Conquest concerns and Arigora)

If you have any ideas for a resolution (maybe making it palletable for the CN side or some way to balance things out here on our side) leave those ideas here! Or you could make a new thread either is fine.

hey @kalystconquerer#0876 you want some feedback...means no More NP promo.... RIP PWI.

according to your first post "CN intended them to be by chance." sure give us NP chest the same chest was given few months ago by Gm's and you can put it at 800 gold 1000 gold and 1200 gold

or Put NP chest in boutique make it obtainable at a good price put it at 100 gold each and see if players going to buy it or not lol

and make everyone happy and you will be happy and more players will go for NP Set and more will charge to get their NP Set rebirthed

this game can be better and with some little change you can bring new players but sure pwi dont want to do that just because they greedy in a pathetic way
Example pwi still offer the HP/MP charm at 3 gold during sales loool.


you guys need to understand this is not where you need ppl to spend money these things should be given at cheap cheap price so you get more players to get their gears and work on better things.
you really need some professional ppl to work in that department.

In my opinion I think PWI made a greedy mess of things and now must accept the consequences and continue the promos. Players have spent $6,000 for 5 cards since last september + $1,200 for each reawaken card along the way with Althea and Kestra plus stacking up for the next expected promo. That's a potential $9,600 nine month investment that will never pay off and be worthless without that last card. These players have probably also not improved their gear or have nothing left to improve in nine months in order to keep up with the spending and this is it for them. Gambling the for the last card could potentially double that. Now there's many neuma portal single and even twice reawakened super players running around as someone previously mentioned and without continued promos no way to catch up. My server on etherblade is severely behind the neuma portal curve compared to the other servers out there and this shows in xtw when opposing factions have multiple reawakened neuma portal players and it is imbalanced giving my server no chance. I can't imagine the number of players that would quit after such a disappointment. The players that would quit are the main cash shoppers who promise continued $1,200 charges a month for reawakens as well as the in game merchants who churn 4.8 billion coins and generate 1200 gold worth of demand each per month in the auction house. Without that demand gold prices will fall and make gold less valuable for the chargers so that means even less charging. Both reduced demand and supply in the auction house, that affects supply of tons of pack items, gems, charms, tokens, all the consumables players need to gear up or do day to day activities, looking at a market collapse and players quitting. Suck it up and accept the consequences of actions.

Also Kalyst awesome communication, best employee ever.

solution - ultimate spend promos every month - 800gold/1200 gold rewards = S chests
yeah I know this solution might sound lame for players farming NP set but it's still better than nothing and PWCN should be happy with it either

The only thing you can blame PWI is keeping this under the radar to CN. But then again if the told CN from the start there would never have been a NP spend promo. If PWCN says no then its no the are in charge and there is no way to go around that. Only solutions i see is stopping the spend promo's or make them 2300g.

As someone who often interacts with PWCN players, it doesn't even make sense for China to even say each NP card should be $2300+ USD as it costs CN players on average less than a tenth of that price (accounting for USD to CNY exchange rate) to get their NP, in fact, fully 2RB NP sets are so common there that only the newly released servers don't have 60+ 2RB NP players in each competitive guild.

It makes me think that instead PWI might be fishing for something here, hmmm.... :3c :thinking:

A minute of silence for all these cser

You DO realize no cser = no game? Those CSers fund this game to keep it free for you. The minute this game is not profitable for PWI entertainment it's going offline. Free to play games aren't published because the creators are all warm and fuzzy people. There is a business model... with projected revenues and budgeted expenses.

Also.. some people didn't CS their NP cards. They farmed.. but SOMEONE did CS because the gold needs to come from somewhere.

can someone confirm this? if its true, then i really wonder why China doesnt want us to complete our sets.

suggestion: finish this cycle and then switch to NP-Chests as 1200 reward.

Im still waiting for someone to explain how people feel taking away this promo is taking away from players when you literally didn't lose anything. The 1200 gold you spent wasn't directly on the card. You either recycled the coin or used it to improve your character. If you took a price cut in sales you STILL got a ton of free items plus a decent card. You still break even quite well. The only problem is the whole gap between Ppl who got their NP and ppl who haven't yet. But if you finish this cycle that problem doesn't end it just makes the ppl who are upset in this thread happy but still problems for others without it. That's just as selfish as those who ppl claim the promos should stop now. I really think turning into a charge instead of spend is probably the best solution x_x

Sounds like you already got your NP set and don't want more people to compete with that.
If they made this a charge promo that leaves no way at all for a F2P to ever obtain the set at all.

Solutions for the following:
Artifacts: Allow us to trade 3 Artifacts for an S chest. Basically we can trash 2 S cards we dont want to try for another. Or trade 10 for a Nuema Portal Chest (Random NP card) Or trade 1 Artifact for 5 A chests for those wanting A sets.
Dragon Conquest coins, allow us to trade them for chance packs containing G17 mats (zenith skulls, profaned woods) Or even better let me trade for neverfall royal/knight/squire badges and ancient emblems. Making 3x engraves obtainable and affordable.
Arigora: Reduce the required number of fights to 3 for qualify and 5 for weekly. Getting 1 battle a day is already a hard task. I queue for 3-5 hours and sometimes never even see 1 fight. Remove the tiered rewards making players want to participate more.

@sunlightfalls I'm actually 0/6 NP cards lmfao I just prioritized other things. Moreover, it may alienate F2P but it's still equal opportunity of choice without making it too easy. How can a F2P player expect to get the same perks as a CSer when the CSer keeps the game alive. I really don't understand why F2P feel it's unfair when they aren't paying for it...@bangbang also incorrect not all csers already have it O.O

The only people who do not see that it is unfair to end the NP spend promos so suddenly are those who have the set already or never aim for it (and evil chinese game provider).

I am very sure there are many cash shopper AND non-cash shopper who aim for the set and would be left alone now. Even the crasiest cash shopper I know were not able to complete the set with random cards.

Now I cash shopped to get my first 5 cards - not 6k $ but paying 1000+ $ for a part in a video GAME and then in the end dont get ANYTHING out of it, is just insane. 5 NP cards are entirely useless since cash shopping enough to get the last is nearly as expensive as buying the whole set. It just not reasonable (to pay like 40k $ for a 8 year old video game and get an gear increase of like 25%) and it will split the community into "they have it cos they were fast enough" and "they dont have it and will never ever catch up"... not even speaking of how many players might quit the game because of this mess.

If PWCN wants to stop NP promos, the only way to do it that most fair to all players is to run a full and complete NP promo cycle starting at the NP card they last left off. This would allow those with partial sets to complete them and it would also allow those that been putting it off a last chance opportunity to get the NP set. I would say this is 90% fair only because some people had the opportunity to get achieve RB1 and RB2 NP sets which the rest of us will no longer be able to get. But atleast we would have a standard NP set.

I have spent quite a bit of money on NP promo cards. I do not have my set complete yet. Had I known the NP promos would stop, I would have never spent this money. Infact, I feel like I should be able to get a refund on the cards I purchased if the promos will be stopped.

LOLL what false advertising?? PWI can shut down tomorrow and theres nothing any1 can do about it. You dont own anything once its in the game

Actually, I remember Kaly stating the next ultimate spend promo would be Astrid because they want to align the rotation with the actual codes of the cards... so we were told there would be one.. and what the card would be... just not when.​​

Enough said, why are you guys even paying that much in a game ? time to spend your money in real life.

For those who want to get their nuema portal and spend money to fill the lack of gameplay, here is the solution :

http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/items/48185
http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/items/48186
http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/items/48187

Now stop your **** here, I think that's fair enough to stop the Nuema Portal promotion, too many nuema set now, farmers can still have AEU set and be op enough, just learn to play well I know why would you even learn to play when you outgear everyone ? - I don't know... may-be because it is a video game and the objective is playing... otherwise let a robot play your character he'll be even stronger than you.
