    If we are going back to the 1 per guild bs, pass, atleast do 5. You can’t take 9 months to reset a season for 1 helm for an entire guild. It’s not like atleast a dozen or so per guild want it right.... Good god once again useless rewards...

    china patched arena http://w2i.wanmei.com/news/bulletin/20190705/81645.shtml
    6v6 cancelled, 3v3 gets all players won't use their own equipment but they are gonna receive a "balanced" set of gears for each type of class... looks like they talking g17r3
    who wins arena gets permanent statues in game, now season rewards looks like they are gonna be automatic

    there was actually an ongoing vote on which is going to be the weapon chosen for each class http://w2i.wanmei.com/news/bulletin/20190712/81666.shtml

    vote resulted in various adjustments http://w2i.wanmei.com/news/bulletin/20190716/81672.shtml

    My only doubt is about the stones of each part of set. It'll be voted too?
    I don't find this info in the news.
    I saw that BMs will have a defensive weapon.

    "Martial arts, adjusted for defense and other weapons (final votes are 149:134)" by Google Translate.

    And here they are talking about the stones but i can't understand:

    "the adjustment and optimization of different occupations were carried out. Among them, the three helmets of "Fairy, Feather, and Charm" [Helmet] [Tops] [Pants] Gemstones were changed from [Risha Stone] For the stone of Jingyue, the weapon gems of the wizard and Yu Feng are changed to [Taiyi Stone], and all the professional twilight armor is inlaid with the top attribute of the sacred soul. The light armor occupation contains the top attribute of shortening the attack interval. A profession contains top-level attributes that speed up the singing time. All the profession's twilight armor is inlaid with a special apricot yellow moon." by Google Translate

    doesnt matter, looks like they changed the system which arigora coins are awarded, arigora coin output should be more than doubled (125% increase)

    Very interesting direction they taking, need to see how its implemented. Meaning if its gear balancing or stat balancing aka if levels, passives and glyphs matter. Also cards and star chart will be interesting to see if those matter or not.

    u keep your own skillset, genie, boundary, attributes, it's unclear in regard of cards and star chart, i might suppose those are going to be removed at all (all equipment is unvalid entering arena, so u enter arena with no gears i believe and receive the armors and weapon by entering, nowhere is mentioned that u also receive cards\star chart\charm)

    its gonna be for sure a new meta

    So after readon the CN patch notes, I want to say only thing which matters for your "gear" is glyphs and even there the stats are irrelevant, its the level of effect which should stay the same.

    Also, something that wasnt mentioned, new ranking floor is 1800. Means lot more ppl will make rankings and I guess its helpful for tracking purposes on those who arent in 2.2k+ but fighting for seasonal rewards.

    Man this is going to be so friggin good...unbelievable <3 Tho, we wont see many of the "top" teams of current 3v3 there cause we are all aware of the skill-level of most of those individuals and they will get roflstomped to hell and back if they cant have their insane gear advantage. This has to come out very soon plox <3

    Thank god I didnt listen to those dumb ppl "if you say you can outperform most ppl on equal gear than just gear up a toon to that level" - HA! Joke's on you, guys! Kita, Ruby and I will be waiting to show ppl what difference gear actually makes atm^^

    Anyone using a veno in 3v3 don’t think has a right to feel good about a win resulting from a timed 0def. Js venos will be the most sought after class in there it’s legit a joke

    yea venos will still have **** crush vigor, 0def also since there might be no charms, mana switch combo and ****, also with probably no genies (even if it's mentioned you should keep yours) i am not sure new arena is going to be any fun, if it's a no genie no charm fight first who CCs wins?

    it's gonna be for sure a different meta but i already see some broken things
  • datsang
    datsang Posts: 163 Arc User
    In case it was cause my statement in gear not mattering was misleading, let me rephrase things. As far as I understand, stats will be locked for each class so anything related to stats wont matter. Glyph effect levels, genies, etc. should still be your own. I am also confused where the "no charm" came from, I saw no mention of them removing charms but I could of just missed it.

    All in all I welcome the change though I do wonder, what are ppl supposed to gear up for now? xTW is good battle maybe 1-2 times a month, TW is dead, PK is dead, tourney is dead for competition. NW is a joke while xNW might offer some interesting PvP if ppl were to start doing it to get their dose of PvP but I personally havent gone in like a year so hard to say how fun its nowdays.

    well china has the new battle royale pvp event already in which u have to farm mats for new passive skills (increased hp and charm cd debuff)
    prob is we should've had cross tnf already a couple of years ago and it's not here yet

    Welp according to the news posts as well as previews for the pvp battle royal event it’s semi based on gear but the major difference in stats is gained by killing monsters in the instance
    Stats are farmed so you get stupid amounts of pdef mdef patk matk etc

    Gear won’t even matter for battle royal as well so maybe China just has an active TW and xTW season over there but as far as international it seems like this update will kill any gear players have worked a ton for these past 10+ years

    Battle royal at least based off of this video:

    https://youtu.be/UnFKStAmpZw

    Is gonna be a gank fest as well, at least until players get maxed passives, doubt anyone will bother with it after besides for stacking buffs to balance 1v1s with each other

    I don’t have a problem with reduction of p2w aspects but rather than fixing instances with bs mechanics and class rebalance just make gear pointless? I won’t will this be a good direction to capitalize this on our version? Our xtw / tw situation on most servers from what I heard isn’t the best for anyone. I mean yea we still have mass pk but we all know half the servers have next to none of that aside from magnier pk because ppl enjoy camping dailies. But I can easily see ppl choosing blue name and this becoming their pvp fix over mass pvp so yeah why gear up/cash? Will there even be a point to get highend gear on our version? Probably not, I can see us getting more activity with less cash shopping which may plummet the the game further. Or does pwi make money due to purely activity and cash shoppers? Idk if anyone knows how that works I’d love to. I do welcome less p2w but I hope they are fine with less revenue, if there will be next to no reason to cash shop.

    Well, as we all know there's always the big whales that cashed all the way up to the max gear possible, i'm fine with that since it made the game survive as long as it did. A big slap in the face to those who spend years gearing and actually pk'ing with farmed gear, years of work will be worthless.

    Now, as blazerboy mentioned already, why would people even cash anymore, i mean from what i understood from that video, when this update hit us, the glyphs level will somehow have some effect on the skills/stats, but considering that everyone will have capped/max af stats, it won't be that much of a change with exception of the skill effect itself ( fu Crush vigor), but at the end of the video, its already stated that they changed it so everyone have same effects on skill, doesn't matter which Glyph level you have. I mean, balanced pvp with basically any class of my choice ? , sht i'm game for hours.

    But, how will pwe get any revenue from this ?, they can't change anything on those events to make any pay-to-win wise, they can but, they not allowed. Gonna be a fun af on the 1st month for sure, but i can't see the game surviving more than few months when this hits. #RipPwi

    From what the guy on video says, there's not a cross server event of the battle royale on pwcn yet, so 50 players to make 1 match start server wide, well lets how that works. #AltsLife

    I heard about that, it’s cute pwi thinks we can drum up even 50 ACTIVE players on a good day. Maybe at launch but give it 3 months it will drop by half. When all the major ppl get it and are tired of the big guilds cornering it waiting for said bigger guilds to back off which may take months for them to get their passives even less activities. Either merge all server, lower guild cap on members or make these events cross server. TnF is a sad joke of a true “Every man for himself” battle event this will be no exception. Atleast cross server alliances will be harder.

    well seen the fact that we dont have cross tnf yet neither some other features china has, such as the npc to sell items\accounts, we dont have our r9r3 in the repository, we dont have a supply of moonlight cristals, i really doubt PWE is going to adjust this or anything balanced for our version, thus it's gonna be a big fail.
    The only chance we have is to spam someone from wanmei\pwrd's email pointing out how shi.tty things are managed by their western distributor, i have a couple of contacts but if i post their email addresses as well as PWE ceo personal email i'm getting jailed\banned thanks to our **** forum moderators

    In all honesty the one and only way I can see pwi making any money off of this change of no p2w gear etc for events and stuff is if they charge a monthly entry pass for this sort of event

    I mean they charge what 12 gold a month to open a commission shop
    Say your the basic player and only buy the needed monthly items autopot, tele stone (speed up dumb dailies etc) and commission shop you’re spending roughly 20 gold a month on all 3

    Let’s say pwi, in order to make money off of this 3v3 stuff, drop a pay to enter aspect sort of deal a monthly 3v3 pass if you will let’s say it’s 20 gold just for simplicity sake
    The balanced pk everyone is gonna be wanting to try will suddenly become extremely profitable for them

    I can see 3rd party server players even moving to pwi to pay 20$ a month for constant 3v3 pk

    Now other options for this sort of system could be somewhat like the homestead battle system say 100 fights a month but you can purchase more fights if you’d like

    That’s the only possible way I can see pwi actually profiting from something like this as TW, on most servers, is dead and xTW is dragon rushes.....

    However there still remains the issue of how often would something like this get reset etc as it’s been quite a while since 3v3 was last reset and season rewards haven’t even been sent out

    2 years later this cross TNF it's not touched. They don't even realize it's a major material balance thing
    I talk about zeniths=
    By the developers design 3 profaned woods should be = 1 zenith skull
    3 zenith skull = 1 draconic essence.
    Or in currents prices it should be 10 fold less costing.
    Nobody cares. It's probably on purpose tho so they can milk the whales but I doubt honestly it's ignorance which lead to their favor.
    Same thing for the gold in aucion
    They can adjust it for this version without increasing the auction cap
    Just make everything there x2 x3 more gold costing and make the charge to give you x2 x3 more for same value. It's same thing in the end.
    2 major things killing the game which are not china devs faults.
    I imagine this new thing not adjusted to our version leading to even more bs.

    Was released not long ago a video about this recent update on pwcn (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7E_yQdphxM&amp;t=257s, only in portuguese), this new frozen map second the dude in the video, will be a cross server map which you can't trade items for obvious reasons but, pretty much a 24/7 xnw to pk till all charms from opening mad keys run out.
    Again another thing that will be chaotic but extremally welcome in this game, but will be killed by pwi blue name mechanic since everyone will just blue name this sht and do the dailly, which is pretty much, aside from battle royale dailly, an way to get new blood/item for new passives. it consist in scouting the bear to other side of the map, 3 routes, each route giving an challenge, and if you're white name, a lot of challenges.
    lol inb4 they force white name on this server for the lols.

    You can still enter blue name just like dragon conquest, the quest itself doesn't require you to kill anyone, just to scout the bear to the other side of the map.

    Any graphics updates for PWCN in the latest patch? Has the character creator been updated for the older classes yet?
