Perhaps it would be useful to have the problems with arc fixed.

Hey everyone, we're seeing a lot of great feedback, so keep it coming! I'll bullet point the issues being brought up come next week in the opening post.

I see that there's also some discussion happening about what kind of feedback the developers are looking for, so I want to clarify: Any feedback about the game is welcome, we want to make this an open-ended discussion. The important thing for us is to make PWI more enjoyable for you.

Have a great weekend!

it would be amazing to have a cross server commission shop, that will make things easier to obtain and also if we can get cross server Auction house with no limit on the gold price.

add ability refine tome with orbs

Oh, if it's ANY feedback..

I'd really like more fashion like the Festive Snowman set that has a little pet/animal that moves behind it. I'm not usually hugely into fashion but that one impressed me last year.

I want open world bramble back in PvP.

A personal pet in your HS like the faction base one that could give rewards would be cool.

"How do you feel about the Royal Sky boundary level?"
It's ok but Royal Sky 1 and the following, should be able to get 20.000 Vitae from mobs aswell.

"How do you like Tome Refinement?"
Way to pricey! Over 100 Gold for +6?! And you cant use the regular refining aids on those, not nice. but THE WORST, why does the tome have to BIND on refine?! Tradeable tomes were the last support you could give to your growing alts temporary. Don't we have enough bound gear already? Everything is bound: cards, r9, g17, starcharts, Arigora Colosseum gear and Twilight Temple made gears. Is Perfect World Games company trying to turn PWI into another game with no economy, no merchants besides the pack items flow? #UnbindTomes #UnbindWarAvatars Unbinding Stone for the win! I don't care if unbinding stone price was ridiculous, i would buy it.

"Are you enjoying the new areas in Western Steppes?"
Can you make Sapphire Panther at Cuteball Village tame-able and lvl 100? They are too adorable. And entire Neverfall map doesnt provide a single new veno pet

I'm with my favourite topic.
Is it possible to make arena opened 24/7 again? I know that many people (including myself) stopped attending it. And if for some reason it has to work only 12 hours, the time choice is bad for everyone. It closes approximately at 5am for USA. I wonder who in USA does arena till the time? For EU it's sometimes essential, sometimes just really bad. It affects everyone in the end: less people attending, less squads participating, less fun for those who come, less interest to the game in general.

Okay, here goes: first off a question, wiil there be a permanent daily added after the map is unlocked, to get the additional two badges plus experience? Otherwise what's the point of this so called update? Most people have already said it, it was a pretty "meh" update. I do like the chance to get more badges(I don't do DHD and probably never will). I was hoping another questline would open up, with experience and not just vitae.

I'm going to add what others have already voiced, please fix the Force Log and enable multi-clienting! Also, since the addition of Adventure Kingdom update, just changing characters is slower. Maybe the screens are too busy now but it's a noticeable difference just going from character to character on the same account! And the gameplay has been even SLOWER since this last Royal Sky "Update". And only a county was opened up in the Western Steppes! I noticed the new map doesn't line up good with the old in Neverfall(you can see it in the mini map).

As for an idea, here's one I've had for a LONG time, introduce gear skins, some even rare, that can be Farmed and made from mats that drop and even additionally from dailies that can be done in OHT by anyone within, of course, a certain level. Make OHT viable for more than just culti. But the server would randomly move where the mats would drop(to different mobs and different quests) so no one could outfarm someone else and monopolize an area. Also, if you got full sets of gear with skins they could add a bonus, for say G13 and up or even G15 and up. Of course rare gear skins could have 2 bonuses and a slightly different look. And make the skins(before attaching) tradable. Another game I played before PWI had rare gear sets and in their expansion made them socketable as well. They gave you hints on where these might drop.

Anyways, it's a way for the free player(like in other MMORPG's) to get something that a cash player can't get or doesn't want to take time to get. Like more than a few people have already said, this game just keeps heading further and further from a balanced lower/mid level and high level game(when I first started over seven years ago) to high level/endgame gear PVP kind of game. I fell in love with this game and ALL it's content! I still have my very first OHT helm I ever made(on an alt) and it was old school OP(came out with Four Sockets Str +, HP++

Okay, that's my two cents worth, I do hope their is more to do in the next area/update than just 1 or two dailies! Also want to add that I don't really think we need yet another cave/instance where just the "OP" players can go! Add more to the world maps or even more questlines(content) to all the maps now open(for level 100+)?

How come class balance is still not addressed? The old classes like archer and wiz have no tools to keep up with all the strong skills given to newer classes.

How about you guys host a Q & A directly with devs so we can air our balance grievances?​​

Here is my suggestion for Wizards how about reducing the cool down of Distance Shrink to 5 seconds and also increasing the % of Element Shell to 50% chance to purify including yourself and team mates?

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I wish they reduce the cool down of morning dew. It takes 4.5 seconds to heal and most of the time I die before I finish my heal

Also, it would be great, if we have purify stat with glyph just like mystic.

Pwi should give some some quests that gives star chart stuffs for toons that hits 100. Now, they don't have any option apart from IU and, i don't see much IU squads recently. Pwi shouldn't have moved them from FSJ.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Arc issue must be addressed, some instances take about 2 hours of time and when we get dced, we should have the ability to force log and join the squad again instead of waiting for 15 mins. Most of the squads ignores the person who got dced and finish the run, before they login again. Honestly, It is annoying to redo the dungeon again.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

New players must have an option to make some coins. Jolly jones quest is good, but it stops at 80. Most of the squad expect the players to have atleast g16, which cost over 300m. I don't think they have any option to make that much coins before they hit 100.

The current game is filled with old players along with their alts. New people are literally scared to try the game because it is too difficult to survive. This game should motivate the new players and get more players into this game.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Tome refinement is a pain. You shouldn't force the players to bind their tome. Most of they share their tome with their alt. Binding them, force us to buy more tomes.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

New expansion is almost horrible. It is good to see new locations, but Royal sky doesn't give any passive skill upgrades. It simply gives us more work to increase spirit and stay along with others. Mobs that gives spirit is a pain in the ****. People with good gears can alone grind them, g16 toons take forever to kill them (not all g16 toons can kill them).

Developers should make a g16 wiz and try to kill one of them. The wizzy will lick the ground before finishing the 4.5 seconds healing skill.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Server lag is the other issue. Most of them face it. This must be addressed.

You should give us an option to make babies after getting married. Someone called my husband infertile after 2 years of relationship.

* Skip it, that is a joke *

Please ignore this

The auction house gold buy price needs to be fixed, costs you money to try buy gold at 4 mill, yet its sold for 8mill outside auction house, so you just loose money, whats the use of it??

Okay here's some feedback.

On the Royal Sky boundary level: the experience with gaining vitae has been shortened somewhat and the dailies which remain after Royal Sky have been lessened, but you have left us with the longest and most tedious dailies. (Resistance Force Leader is nothing but absolute boredom, as is War O' Mine quest.) While I appreciate that daily quests are part of how you keep people logging in, at least give us something more interesting to do than journey around talking to NPCs everyday. By interesting, I do not mean PK, I mean kill quests where we get to actually enjoy the combat system.

The addition of vitae mobs is actually a pretty good idea and one of the better things about the update. It's actually really good that the mobs can still grant vitae to people outside of squad based on how much damage is dealt, so theoretically anyone can complete their daily limit and drama between players over "kill stealing" has been somewhat reduced (although not eradicated as some are still - understandably perhaps - touchy about getting all the vitae out of their mob kill). Not all of us love PK or thrive on drama, so we like friendly content that rewards strength without taking away opportunities.

Tome refining has been a much more mixed bag. It's extremely questionable that you made it a requirement to bind a tome to refine it, as this seems purely motivated by making us have to get another extremely-expensive tome for alternative accounts. In addition the sudden unexpected changes to the tome crafting system were unnecessary, unhelpful and over-complicated. Nobody has gained anything out of those changes, instead people are struggling to make new tomes. Although I appreciate increasing complexity and depth in how to improve our characters, both these changes were basically negative from the players point of view. Even people who adore PvP and who can afford to come close to maxing out a toon will not particularly appreciate needing to +12 yet another item, much less with how expensive it has been made to do so.

The new areas in the Western Steppes are gorgeous and interesting, and I must note some improvement in the stories we see in the vitae quest. I hope that the writing in PWI continues to improve and we get to do more general adventuring to keep the game fresh. As someone who holds a qualification in writing, I have to be blunt - the English grammar and spelling in PWI's quest text has never reached a good standard (I've found literally hundreds of basic mistakes over the years) and the writing has never been the strongest point in the game but this is improving recently. The quest text is a very effective (and cheap) area for PWI to improve with minimum effort, so I hope to see this continue. With stronger reasons to care about an NPC or character, we may feel more engaged with the quests we do.

PVP need some rebalance. Sin/db mostly the one killing player while older class like archer can't live longer because lack of def skill or being LA.

I say sell a item to decrease ingame coin from mechant maybe something player need everyday

Seriously, who remembers anything devs did on PWI players request? It's useless to talk about skills and quests changing. It's more productive to focus on the 3d point.

I remember such doings:

1. In high level instances bosses now usually have anti-aps buffs.

2.

High APS Damage Reduction

When the attack rate of your character is either 4.0 or 5.0 attacks per second, damage done by normal attacks is reduced by 5%. This damage reduction was added in the Descent expansion and does not otherwise show up in your character info window. There is also an unconfirmed 20% loss of accuracy with 4.0 and 5.0 attack rates.

3. Reduction of the DQ items value to 1 coin (death of bot induced inflation).
