New Special Effects (Graphics Updates - PWCN)

If fashion will look better then sign me up! To be honest, I don't like how the new water effect looks like. It looks out of place with the rest of the game remaining the same, but it might look better in motion.

Here is the link to the PWCN news page.​​

why are you people getting 10 fps in 2018...

The old antiquated engine is why. It only runs on one core and doesn't really utilize the GPU at all, that and a lot of skill effects going at the same time can cause it​​

It seriously isn't that hard to optimize an engine for multi-core systems or to even implement full DX9 GPU acceleration... They should just let all draw calls for effects and ppl be handled by the GPU and 1000+ ppl at the same time would be smooth 144 fps on Max Settings. But no...ofc not, why would they. Soft-rendering is so much more...err..

I’d consider playing and spending even if they actually made it run off GPU otherwise it will be a fail project. Thanks for post though.

can someone run CH client and see if it's now using one or multiple threads?
i cba to reinstall for this

anyways this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw4G3sRFICk
apparently is calling a new incoming boundary​​

so the new xTW matchmaking will be:
you need 2 own-server TW lands to be able to bid
every server has a cap of xTW bids of 4 factions, u can't exceed that and successfull bids will be random
if a faction holds more than 6 own-server lands, its bids are automatically successfull
if there are more than 4 factions holding more than 6 own-server lands, other factions cannot bid​​

O boy, this xTW update...
7 Months ago I made a video about xTW being an afk fiesta because there arent enough competitive factions in xTW so everyone is just farming lands and having PvE wars every week trying to avoid other strong factions at any cost. And now they not only want to lower the amount of competitive factions, but also the amount of factions in general to 16 (for us, 4 representatives per server). I can only assume China has more servers than us so this change should never come to PWI, it wouldnt make any sense with only 4 servers. Makes me wonder if PWCN had alt-factions bidding in xTW to help their own faction by fighting opposition while not showing up if they got themselves. They basically want to eliminate factions that have no business in xTW from bidding for xTW and thus giving whatever lucky faction gets them a free pass.

I like the new textures, since that likely means a new engine, because why the hell would they bother updating the textures on the old engine, there's 0 point in doing that. But I guess we'll wait and see, the engine conversation is almost as old as PWI -_-''

We just need sum new content, and fast, cuz there aint nothing to do anymore, the themepark xpac didnt give us any new content to grind. People are bored.

PWCH just had a gigantic server merge, like 8 servers merged into 4, so yea that works for them, intra TW for them will carry out just competitive factions to xTW​​

This content has been removed.

More boundary level w/o a sky level otherwise it just makes the game less likely to welcome ppl on the fence of return ijs

"3. April Fishery Open (Day of Liar 1/4/2018)" -- Is it just me or did anyone else catch this? "day of Liar 4/1/2018" = April Fools Day?

I think PWI is going to die soon. Wanmei has been ignoring Perfect World for years already. You can easily see how slowly they've been abandoning this game even just by looking at the "quality" of expansions and content updates they've been releasing these days. Genesis was the last "quality update" we've got. After Genesis, PWI has been going downhill. If only they paid attention to this game as much as they did during Age of Spirits - Genesis era, PWI would still be an awesome game today, but PWChina and PWE realized that the players woud bite almost anything they release, so they took advantage of it. They don't even have to make a new look for every upgraded equipments. I mean you'll pay $$$$ just for the gear's attributes, which can be done just by editing from the developer's perspective. They don't need to sketch a new look for the gears, equipments, and other items. You'd bite anything they release. Ofc, in PWI today, it's the attributes that matters the most.

Anyway, on the other hand they're developing a remake of Perfect World. I think most of its players both international and China wouldn't want the game to be changed that much as what they showed in 2016 (about the new upgraded engine), so they made a separate remake of PW.

You really should give some sources before you start claiming that the video you found is for sure a remake, rather than the 10th anni update they told us about in last year's interview.

The "new game" is something else.

The melee fighter in that demo has wings on the sides of her head as well as her back. The enemies she's engagin with look to be identical to those wolfmen seen in Morai. At the very least, if it's a new game, it's probably well within established Perfect World lore.

These new graphic updates are very good but it will be a fps brutality, unless this game's engine gets updated as well.
