    64/32 bit client selection doesn't really work. It tells you its going to launch the 64 bit client and you can change the setting if you want to use the 32 bit client. If you do so, it writes a 64select=0 value into systemsettings.ini and this is fine and works.

    But then when you launch the actual game, it removes the 64select=0 value back out again, so next time you'll get the 32 bit client again. Unless you remember to change it every single time...

    (And if asking why I want to use the 32 bit client, I tested the 64 bit client a lot before and it routinely crashed and when you dc it does not automatically relog from arc like the 32 bit client does, but perhaps they've improved that now).

    Swap your patch server to the 2nd one instead of the first one. That's what I had to do to fix my download errors.

    Well, server economies are about to be controlled by the few people who have billions of coins stashed away. The current state of this game there won't be enough coin generated from BH rewards, TW pay etc. Economy is about to crash on every server and only a few will be able to finish upgrading anything. Coin update is going to kill PWI even more.

    you guys had MONTHS warning time to sell all your ****. this economy update was known and everyone was given enough time to prepare.

    in other news:

    BUG: if someone deleted you from their friendlist, but you kept them, they now appear online again (but still cant check location)

    ?Who cares if you sold all your ****. You are going to run out eventually and in the current state of every server you're not getting enough coin through MBH bignotes/ TW rewards to offset how much coin is about to disappear from every server in like 3 months. Even if you have 10B+ it's going to get spent eventually, and how do you plan on getting another 10B when new players/poor players will never get enough coin to buy 105m DoD's from you?

    i think they made a cross server for East, West and EU seperately, or has anyone seen a player from a different timezone on their cross-server daily?

    I haven't had a patch issue like this in YEARS so I forgot about patch 2 entirely. Thank you :3 it worked for me

    Just did the couple instance. Not sure if it's a bug or if it's just intended to be very evil. But when you get to the top you have some dimmed blocks you need to cross to get to a solid block. There's normal dimmed blocks and dimmer blocks and you need to walk on the dimmer blocks (hope this even makes sense)

    Anyway for me the dimmer blocks were all invisible :# so I got to watch my hubby walk across thin air, and he had to guide me across invisible blocks. There were a few risky jumps but I made it lol

    Here's an illustration of what we had to deal with. I had to walk to the pink block where my hubby was. I don't have a pic of his point-of-view, this was from a recording I made.

    Has this happened to other people or is this just me? :|

    Honestly the best solution is if you can't get past 25% Switch to Patch 2 instead of having patch 1 up when your updating, It got stuck for me too and I forgot you could do that. Thanks to Obielle for pointing that out.

    Anyone know how to switch back to 32-bit as the update forces us into 64-bit??

    Also did other servers faction icons get deleted too?? Everyone in Twilight Temple did
    Not even surprised cause pwi can’t do anything right

    Has anyone been able to find where to get the Barbaric Crystal Blood (or Barbaric Blood Crystal) for the updates for passives in NF? Been looking all over and haven't found them. One needs 60 per upgrade and the other needs 200 per upgrade.

    I had to switch between the 1st and 2nd one a few times during the install, common problem with this one it would seem

    @obielle 1 of you had a stealth detection buff and was able to see the bricks, so the other person has to be guided.

    Well done PWI, you totally ruined the already crappy UI.

    Now I can't move the chat window from its new default position halfway up the screen, can't click any of the buttons on the bottom, and if I cycle the UI size option, everything under the chat region buttons disappears off the bottom of the screen and can't be returned except by reloading.

    I think brain damaged monkeys would make better devs than the ones we have.

    the only problem i have had is
    after switching over to the 64 bit system and i
    tried to log in for the first time
    ...i got the "wrong username/password" screen
    so i just exited out of PWI
    and exited out of arc also
    and just restarted the game....
    worked just fine after that.....

    oh my gosh that just clicked as I read it xD my hubby had a stealth detection buff and I remember seeing it at the end and wondering why he had it. Thank you! We were having a hard time making our way up and I was very sleep deprived so I definitely missed it at the time haha.

    Only things I've discovered after the patch:

    PWI (elementclient) starts after the 64bit-window but the save elementclient still waits for me to press Start. Didn't test if I could start the game for the 2nd time right after starting the 64-bit window.

    My faction icon is gone just like a large patch we had in the past.

    So this new cross daily in the frost area is suppose to be open pvp? However it seems only TT sever connects to ET and I’m assuming it’s the same for TI to match link da but there’s been not a single person popping up from ti’s side and I’m not sure if da has the same issue
