    A separate thread will be made for the Good, The Bad and The Broken as normal.

    On a separate note the problem with Arc codes has also been fixed.

    Thanks.

    Is this a joke? With my Internet at a speed of 200 MB/sec, the game patcher downloads updates at a speed of 200 KBit/sec. KILOBIT!!! Is it 2003 or is it 2023?

    nah man the "joke" here is that there is NO INFO posted about such a big patch..... this is NOT hero's fault, but the devs really need to be better.
    No news
    No Warning
    No update info
    No patch notes ( since 2018 on news page, 2021? from cabbage patch notes )

    The disrespect to the playerbase and to hero is purely sad.


    TY Hero for letting us know in game and on forums! Keep up the work my dude.

    I'm sitting here getting 0.1 mbit download on a 1 gbit connection. It feels like April fools.

    It is expected the patcher will take a while to update the game. This is a normal problem during updates.

    Ill feedback from this as well as the Patch notes and warnings. Likewise with other things as well.

    Thanks.

    The update notes are so bad its like they just google translated bits and pieces from the CN forum or something.
    "Casting stones to ask the sky, nine debates and nine songs. The meeting will be towards the alliance, the pale birds flocked." wtf does this even mean?

    Also,
    "..do not collect the active rewards before the maintenance from Nov. 14 to Nov. 16 to avoid early settlement of the weekly active experience gained."
    Its Nov 29th already..

    New vitae daily is broken.
    Westland Daily - Soul of Valor

    There suposed to be mobs called Rebel Valkeryie Guna/Rota/grey .
    I cannot find them anywhere.

    So that means the only way to finish the quest is to kill 2 players ...

    A picture from the ruforum, the lines mark the paths of movement of the necessary mobs. For each mob kill, 50 items are given to you and everyone in the group.

    Upon entering the game, I noticed several items such as the Palette of Fortune, G18 mats, and new passive skills lacking detailed descriptions. The patch notes appear to be machine-translated, evident in the usage of Chinese names like Yu Feng (Edgerunner) and Sword Spirit (Seeker). While the game itself is impressive, it is disheartening to sense a lack of attention from the staff. The dedicated players of Perfect World International deserve a more thoughtful and polished gaming experience!
