This all take way too long

This has been discussed in many threads which I made in the past but the answer is always the same...
"PWCN likes the grind and our ideas must go through them"
We've gotten the bloods added to badge exchange and even spirit/vitae orders for dawnlight​ halls now.

I understand that PW is frustrating to gear and or do daily passives so you can even do decent damage to 'end game' players. But, the truth is PW will always milk the community for more cash whether it's with Glyphs and or cards and or new Atk lvl stones with +4's...

My best advice, find another game and buy a jetski or boat with the cash you save from not going Nuema Portal to stay "competitive"

Hello!

Arigora actually also has a score threshold you must meet to craft anything - I was unpleasantly surprised by this when I tried to make the Crown of Apex and was kicked back with a "Need to have 1600 score". So trying to just hand out coins doesn't work.

That being said, that doesn't mean (to the general points) that we can't ease that grind by injecting supply of some of these items in other ways (Events, TW, DC etc.) There are things I can do in the meantime, but I always have to be careful of the balance of the economy and increasing the supply too much too quickly that it raises flags. The weapons were not designed to have been acquired in a short amount of time, but from a player's perspective, gating the item too hard means people will not want to engage in the content to attain it. Skulls and Shards are now being added into the TW and DC rewards

For Sky levels, I asked for this to be scaled down, but they said no specifically because they said this would hurt players' feelings who already got to that point (and would have to probably be something they pass into their version, which could make some people irritated after grinding all that vitae up). So instead, I asked for Ancient Gifts to be whitelisted and I balance out giving them out in events and having them in promos. This was actually kind of a tricky request, but so long as I continue to do it this way, the item shouldn't be pulled for the foreseeable future.

For Bloods - Take a look at the event scheduling. I run Twilight Survivor nearly monthly now, which is a way to acquire additional Bloods. The other events players have suggested to acquire Bloods that can be useable will also get slotted into our schedules in the future (just need to run tests on them first to make sure they function and all the localization is ok).

I'm still always taking a pulse, so if I need to adjust my efforts I'm always looking into it!

That's the thing with CN. They don't understand out playerbase. It keeps dwindling in a rapid fashion and I, don't only speak for myself, can say that I rather have people that get to the level I am in terms of passives, titles, etc p.p. for free and instantly to have some competition rather than being jealous of them. Other games do the exact same thing in a yearly fashion. New content updates nearly always mean the the current max endgame gear becomes NPC-Level gear of the newer gear gap. No one cares...some of those game still have millions of players (even tho I personally hate it when gear gets a massive devaluation which should never happen in PWI...cause gear value directly translated to money spent in rl for a majority of ppl..so giving away free armor that is stronger would end this game). Passives and Skills and everything aside of Gear, Charts, Cards could be completely free for anyone. Create a new char = have it maxed. No one would complain at all cause what's done is done we had it for a longer time than the new players in return, so to say.

I encourage you to engage CN again with this and to constantly remind them that PWI is not PWCN. The game as it is was initially created for thousands of players and while that is still true for CN...it just isn't for PWI and we have to take measures to revitalize the game. Make it attractive for new players. No one can tell me that there is alot money to be earned with cultivation stuff. Never. Give out free passive stats and watch how dozens of people spend money on r9 and refine. Win/Win. Cultivation stuffs are just obstacles for the western civilization and yeah, I am part of it too. I am too lazy and don't have enough time to bother with it anymore and I've already done it completely 7x times xDD

People want gear, they wanna PvP and participate in endgame instance/farm. Anything else is just not enjoyable. It really isn't

Guys, this is an eastern MMORPG. Chinese players love this grinding stuff, our culture is just too lazy and too much instant gratification. Can complain all you want, but this game caters to the needs of their culture, not ours.

Exactly, which is why they have to change the game for the west to be able to survive in the west for a bit longer. I also like to work for something, who doesn't, really but it's getting out of hand. People should work for stuff but not for the most ridiculous small upgrade and invest hours over hours into it for barely anything. The competition of more suitable games is way too massive atm.

My friend who quit game a few years ago was going to come back and work on catching up sky levels using the Invite a friend spirit buff (IDK what its called) that you get when you return to game.

Well, I sent him his mails in game to invite him back and told him to log in. Upon log in he received no spirit buff, though he received the title for returning warrior and the little tokens to complete the friend quests with my feathers. So he immediately quit again since as a returning player he doesn't have any ancient gifts to help with the grind through arcane sky lol.

Why was this part of the return to game perks removed? Was this blacklisted by China? Or just his character?​​
