Please Feel Free to Update If needs Be. Please note this is not the Official Info and as such you should keep checking for updates. This post should only be used as a reminder for standard Maint Times and info.

Please Note: Please be patient and bear with the team, as US offices are being affected by epidemic precautions. I will Update If I find out more.

Maintenance tonight is expected it to start around 23:00 PT, I will try to update as I can for any changes.

* US West (Et/Tw) 06/09/20 - 23:00 * US East (Ti) 06/10/20 - 02:00 * EU (Da) 06/10/20 - 08:00 * UTC 06/10/20 - 06:00 *
All times and dates are approximate to location and use MM/DD/YY

Maintenance is expected to last approximately 4 hours, so during that time you will not be able to access the live servers.
*Maintenance times are tentative and are subject to change at any time. Actual end times will vary depending on the progress of the maintenance.

Thank you for your patience and we apologize for the inconvenience.

    Evening all,

    Just a few things to note, We will continue to monitor NW on the ET and TW servers for a few weeks and report any issues back. Please continue to report any issues on this in the thread.

    I have asked a few questions that have been asked in the last few weeks and had some feedback on some of the items so ill update the threads where I need to and am able to.

    Ive also double checked my post for tonight, Sorry about last weeks mistake.

    Thanks.​​

    They tend to forget things in the patch notes which isn't surprising...I'll be checking for the skill updates once the game is back up. I'll be adding a complete list of patch notes on PWpedia which may include more than what PWI has mentioned in the news post (I tend to compile these notes based on other versions of Perfect World)

    For all classes: the Duskborn Armors are embedded with the Sacred Spirit of powerful attributes. Some attributes can reduce Attack Interval for Light Armor classes, and other attributes can increase Channeling Speed for Arcane Armor classes;

    - For all classes: the Duskborn Helms are embedded with Special Yellow Moonlight Crystal.

    Hmm I haven't played this game in over a year - The expansion looks kinda cheesy, imma log in and check it out tho, not hoping for much at this point. Is g17 more obtainable, or is it still a 5k year grind?

    This appears to be in relation to the buff everyone receives in Battle of Survival to have "equal equipment". Duskborn refers to the Twilight Warsoul Equipment. I don't think the buff in the past had sacred spirits/moonlight crystals added into them before so they're just updating it. I believe these updates are mostly based on the opinions of the CN playerbase. It's supposed to also take effect in Arigora Colosseum.

    I was gonna say I see nothing bout Arigora Colosseum. But guess we`ll see if we are the only servers who dont get that update, even if it would be temporary season like it seems to have been on CN if I`m not mistaken.

    This is nothing new though, it has been a long time since a majority of the PW2 playerbase has felt the developers attention. It has been a long time since players on PW2 have felt the developers have cared about their opinion. It is what it is sadly.

    This was confirmed a while back that there would be no manual patches.

    The patcher is live so you can start downloading.

    Thanks.​​

    Plenty of ppl have. Your problem seems to be a problem with your patcher or whatever which doesnt affect others as I havent seen other reports of said problem.

    all i can suggest is to check some of your patch settings. In the past some have caused issues and others work but we have found its different for different people for some reason.

    Also try restarting your computer first to see if that helps.

    let us know if you find a solution that works for you as im sure others will have the same problem.

    Thanks.​​

    Can we get an option to move servers since we got forced onto the EU server and now we can't do Tundra Battles. Was looking forward to this for over a year from my JD days. Now it's released and we can't even go to it because it's at 8pm-10pm server time. AKA 2pm-4pm EST for the original Harshlands players. Either change the time so everyone on DA can do it or let us change server.

    Tundra Campaign

    Participation: From 10:00 to 20:00 on Tuesdays, players can hand in the army supplies they have gathered from the previous week to the Arms Manager of their Allegiance to increase their Armament Level.

    Available from 20:00 to 22:00 on Tuesdays
