    Nice to know that pwi has shut down our guild bases. Kinda looks like if you're not able to run fs, up and dh like my small toons can't, then you might as well not have a guild base.

    You could make a new guild and not have these requirements, but what about the hundreds of millions of coins spent on the existing base (that can't be used)?

    It is for sure I won't be spending any more coin for faction base questing. And as I did occasionally spend real money on this game, that is stopping too.

    The statement I bolded I agree with 100%. Its not fair to the people who have made bases before the expansion to be limited by this because some of us are smaller and don't have people strong enough for the high lvl instances. I had just built our base maybe a week ago and had I known that we would be restricted I would have waited until after the update to build it. Before someone goes and says well that's why you work to get the higher lvl people in factions/help the lower people get higher lvl. Only goes so far if people are only playing a few days a week and not even wanting to try to grind to do the higher lvl'd instances. @kalystconquerer#0876 not getting mad at mods here but whos idea was it to restrict bases that were made before the patch? Its only going to hurt the smaller factions that are trying to get their feet off the ground. I hope that this isn't a thing that's going to be staying.

    I'm upset with this as well, given that my base was level 27, an obscene amount of money - both in game and real - has been placed into making it what it was along with the effort of the people in guild.

    Now the smaller factions will be somewhat wiped out as getting 1,000 Loyalty points a week will be near impossible for those weaker factions.

    I already noticed that "Base Quests" are no longer part of activity points, so guess we can rule out that now.
    Similar to those Base Quests, it should've been level related for the faction goals.

    I agree as Iv'e had my base for 4 years and I'm as pissed as a hornet right now, With all the real life money and years of grinding just to open one. Now all my Players merit are just wiped out with some trying to get base helms and such WHAT WERE YOU THINKING??? I want my base OPENED now IT IS mine and belongs to the faction NOT PWI!!!! I feel like I have been robbed like someone came in in the middle of the night,and stole my money and all my mates hard work, most are still sitting on RW coins that they can''t redeem,Archers with no Arrows, no pots,no nothing.??????

    "When the base is opened, if the faction cannot get 1000 Loyalty Points for the last four consecutive weeks, the base will be temporarly locked. It requires another 1000 Loyalty points to unlock it during the week"


    So technically you have 4 weeks to get the 1000 points.

    Not saying it wont be a major blow to little factions, but maybe in 4 weeks might seem more realistic to some than every week

    I left his game a year and a half ago and stupidly returned to just be let down again by this company. For a game to be healthy you must have options for the lower level or lower income players to thrive. So the Idea to make Cogs Bound is knucklehead decision that needs to be reversed ASAP. This is a decision that was made without the player base even asking for and many of the people I have returned to play with are threatening to quit. To add icing to the cake you made Glyphs a cash shop only item. I have never seen such a terrible team ruin what could be such a good game.

    At this time I demand Cogs be reverted back to unbound to keep the lower income players on the small thread that hold this game together.

    PLEASE Sign your player name below if you agree.

    This is by far the worst update ever! You took our faction base away! Our leasder paid for it! We are a small faction and we worked hard to Lvl our base to 16. Now we may lose it. This just may kill the game, Lots of us do not want to join a big faction just to have a base and lots do not have gear high enough to get into a TW faction. So this will kill the small factions unless players from the TW factions join the small factions only way this will work. Why should I go on a squad with a big faction and help them get their faction base opened when they will not help us. Or you could change the faction base quest to like Brim or Eden.

    I can absolutely agree with all who complaining about the new base. What about rw coins, what about the big amount of money we invested in (lvl 24 base here)? I have a national faction, we are not many online nowadays, and not even 5 ppl online in the same time who could complete this faction goals together. What about the base buffs for nw? We had been working on armory now to get base helm. So PWI means now we do better if not plan for years in advance? All of our money and working hours on base just gone. Im thinking to quit after 7 years playing. Bye and thanks for all the fish...

    Where do you see it talking about the last 4 weeks? Its a weekly thing now and I know a lot of the smaller faction owners are freaking out because we can already see that our bases are pointless if we don't have the proper player base.

    Its about 2.6GB download so ive been told.

    Also depending on how other many people are downloading makes the odds.

    It will get faster as the strain is taken off.

    Thanks.​​

    I took that info there:

    I believe* the more loyalty points you have, the higher rewards you can get in faction base.
    And therefore they are resetted weekly, making it harder to get higher rewards.

    But they still take into account the last 4 weeks combined to establish the 1000 points limit to stay unlocked.
    (So 250/week, 1000/4 weeks, wich is a bit less pressure.)


    *I cant be sure though, first day of update and its all pretty confusing, just going from what I understand.

    Agree. My faction has a lvl 21 base, but is basically a place for alts to hang out and at least have the option of base items and base quest exp. Now it's completely useless. We don't have 8 people who could ever make a faction squad and even if we multiclient to use alts, there's no way they could do these instances -- ever.

    At this point, I can't even find the motivation to do even basic dailies or even see if there is new content with this **** update. Yeah -- so long and thanks for all the fish......

    Manual download/manual patching has been discontinued for several years. You and others are in the same boat with issues updating, and Pan Gu knows when/if something will happen to assist.

    Yeah, after 6 hours (broadband) I'm thinking it's not happening at all. If it takes 24 hours (!!!!!) they can shove it.

    Not sure about the 4 week thing... if the points reset every week, we still have to make 1000 points in one of those weeks. Sort of three weeks off, and one week to grind.
