It mentions that some companies feel that once they launch a game, their work is finished. and perfect world says its just starting.. Now i have some mixed feelings about this.. lol. But im just gunna jump right into this and make it quick, because if a forum post is too long, pple generally dont even read it.. haha. Questing... after lvl 40... grinding.. grinding... grinding... and... wait for it.........................MORE GRINDING! im sure we all know lvling in this game takes FOREVER! and spirit is kind of hard to optain.. I reached lvl 30 a few days ago, and had purposely not bought any skills, cuz i knew more would come out at 30.. i had 110,000 spirit, and didnt have enough for my skills as a venomancer. it sucks.. lol so now im stuck questing for spirit.. which is okay with me to a point, i dont mind. but i think that this game could use some quests strictly for spirit, other than the ones for cultivation. pls correct me if im wrong, im still very new to PW. And a little less grinding would be awesome!! more quests would be great! i kind of want to start a petition to have more quests added. everyone i talked to kind of goes like this... "hey man what's up? what ya doin?" "Grinding" "ahh thats cool, any mobs in particular?" "no and it sucks, i wish i had more quests to do".....lol. Im actually not looking forward to higher levels now, because if all i have to look forward to is a couple long quests, im going to loose interest. anyone else feel the same way about this as me? i tihnk this game has GREAT potential.. but it has to come up to par with other mmos if it wants to be successful. I guess where im going with this is this.. If perfect world feels that this is the beginning, what else do we have to look forward to? where do they listen to the community? should a petition be started about things that could use work? Also... here is something i would REALLY like to see improvement on.. the interface.. add on's, 3rd party stuff, and a skill bar that i dont have to hit tab for after its full.. i wanna have like 16-20 slots accross the bottom of my screen, and not have to hit tab to change them. yea im lazy. but yea thats my rant. what about you guys? should we start a petition? maybe a poll? thanks guys! cya in game :)

    UI has been the same for years. PWI doesn't do any programming and can't alter the game in that way anyway even if they did, only China can. UI won't change, as much as we would like it to.

    You are aware that u have 1-6 and f1-f8 right thats 14 buttons, not much shy of how many your asking for. Also you cna make macros so that you cna preform all of your buffs or a series of attack spells with jsut 1 button press, its at the bottom of your skills menu.

    My friend, let me just start by giving you a tip, what you have said looks completely illegible and conceived after your spell check blew up in front of you so I have two suggestions... if you want people to listen to you, you should probably follow them.

    First, your right, people do have short intention spans and hate to read bloc text.. so even though you didn't type much, when you have it all blocked up, it becomes unintelligible ramble that you just threw together without much thought and without much afterthought to what it is you want to stimulate, overall the first tip then is to have proper spacing, that way each point is condensed into a mini-graph rather than a huge chunky block.

    Lastly, please do quote and not create single lines for quotes, how would you like it if your book writers wrote dialogue like this "Hi Harry Potter, I am going to forget my enter key" "Thats OK JK Rowling, I don't want you to sell books anyways" "Good to hear Harry, kthxbai!" No, no one wants to read that ****. So there you go my friend, criticize me if you will but I am just trying to help you by teaching you what your language arts teacher ought to have.

    -Yours,
    Dr. Bean

    I agree with the post above me. Proper grammar and spelling go a long way to getting people to take your post seriously.

    As for your post, I've been playing this game since the 2nd and it's been pretty fun. I've gotten to level 37 and I haven't felt like I've been grinding at all. Mostly doing quests and FBs are sufficient. Quests give you a decent amount of exp, spirit, and gold coins. Plus, you get some good armor/weapons from quests. If you don't feel like questing or grinding, you could always build up your crafting levels and make high level armor/weapons/potions to merchant. There's quite a lot to do in this game.

    If you think this is a grindfest, try playing Maplestory. At the higher levels, you'd be lucky to get 10% an hour grinding. Plus, there's not nearly as many quests and no crafting system to occupy your time. You're pretty much stuck with grinding.

    welcome to the style of Chinese RPG game, where the man with real perseverance wins. Im sure if you are a Chinese reading this, you will know that most Chinese RPG game back in the 90s makes you spend a great deal of time killing mobs just to level up and face the next boss. Its nothing new really.

    I'm used to grinding in games, so I don't really mind that much, but more quests would be awesome, though.

    I wouldn't recommend taking all the abilities available.

    If you want to be heavily into melee style of fighting beside your pet, then I'd recommend taking the werefox line of abilities ( they're all linked together by a verticle line in your skills tree ) and forget the caster lines as you won't be able to use the damage spells in werefox form anyways.

    If you preffer the spell damage/pet style of venomancing ( is this a real word? ) then I'd pretty much forget about the werefox line and focus your spirit points on the other abilities.

    I apologize. I know i spelled some things wrong... I'm not stupid, but I was intoxicated when I wrote this, and didn't even bother to spell check. I wasn't flamed at, and I don't mind being corrected. It seemed more like he was helping me than flaming anyhow. This game is released in AMERICA. Not china. We play games like guild wars, and WoW. I'm just saying that the majority of the players here aren't used to games like this, and I've heard a lot of complaints. My friend wont play this game because of how long it takes to level up, and i'm not extremely excited about grinding my butt off in the near future with it. Although grinding and doing FB's does have advantages. But i would really like to quest. This isn't maple story, and i kind of feel as if this game has to compete with other games if it wants to have a high popularity. I'm sorry if i sound like i'm whining, and i'm not trying to flame other people, but I think that this game would benefit everyone with some more UI support, more quests, and ESPECIALLY a better skill description!! For instance, my venomancer (Y?) skills... How do I know what they are for? for example my buddafying mist, doesn't tell me if its for foxform, or human. Its frustrating sometimes. Not sure If i spelled that right, but whatever. I doubt Ill quit playing PW. But I can see myself getting sick of things not getting fixed, but I will stick around to see what happens to this game. The lag when u cast a skill and mobs dying before their health is gone is really frustrating as well, but there is already plenty of posts about that. Once again, sorry to sound like I'm crying about it, but I would LOVE to see some things get fixed, as would everybody else I would imaging.

    As a former Guild Wars gamer (BTW I am allowed to say this because I actually took the Hall of Heroes .. PLENTY of times, unlike those people who got to 20 and said "well, I guess I played the game now") and I can understand your desire for more quests, AI, etc... HOWEVER, will you ever drive up to a McDonalds and order a Whoppper? Of course not, the same thing is not to be expected of P.W. giving you smart A.I. etc..

    Most MMOrpgs, GW and a few other games aside, have stupid A.I. off set by competitive PVP that is winnable through cash shop contributions. I assure you that your not being ripped off by playing PW your just trying another way of gaming. Plus, compared to Conqueror online, FlyFF, DoMO, and MANY other MMOs I've Beta tested for, Perfect World is a advent of FREE MMORPG, mind you, thats what this game is, a FREE MMMORPG.

    I do agree with you bean to a point. Grinding isn't exactly a new way of playing... maybe to someone that plays anti grind games.. but i dont feel as if this is a new way to play really.. compare it to other games, and the differences are slim.. except this one basically rules every other game out there because its free! free to get, free to play.. no other game i know of is like that.. its funny my two favorite games now, are PW, and combat arms. both free games to get.. and both free to play online. haha. Gratz PW for making a decent game thats free.
