The Future

I agree. I would like to see a more diverse selection of many things. a 4th race (underworld maybe), more classes. More skills options. A skill list that allows for more unique characters. More skills could allow people to create different classes by simply choosing a different skill path.

The ability to create unique weopons and armor. The current equipment list is static. I can make items but, I cannot make them better than the shops or at least unique(speacilized) the currrent system is random.

The game allows a diversity of stats AND skill builds so huge that i cant imagine the reason of you even suggesting that. Unlike many games, here you can make any sort of equipment combination, melee archers, melee clerics, barbarians wearing robes, etc.
As for skills, up to lv80+, each person can freely choose what path of skill they will follow, they cant possibly max all skills until then. And past lv90, you start getting sage/demon skills, and you cant possibly buy ALL of them anytime before lv100, so again, every person will have different skills.
The game allows a great diversity on builds, the people are the ones that choose to make their characters like everybody else.

Legendary/Twilight Temple/FrostLand/Lunar Glade, all allow you to craft equipment different than the ones you make from craftsmen npcs. Most of those have fixed stats, and past lv80, you will have a varity of different gears to choose, or even make your own with random stats from craftsmen npcs.
And crafted gear is ALWAYS better than shop gear.

well lets see there are tanks, healers,archers,magicians,clerics and some other ones, now all they need are some warlocs, mages, shaman,rogues,and the # 1 will be Paladins. cause they will be able to be protection, holy healer,or DPS. hahahahahah!!!!! well it would make the game more fun with a paladin,,
as far as gear will go a paladin can wear plate gear, the would have to make 3 sets of course. for healing,protection <tank>, and dps. well thats all i have for now..

Let's hope there even will be a future.

We might all die and stuff between now and then. You never know. b:bye

I would be content with -slightly- higher rates, grinding for hours for maybe 10, 20% exp really is a downer, especially when people have jobs/very little leisure time but still want to play =/

Also, I notice the skills aren't very diverse, I'm a Cleric myself, and I notice that to get any skills I have to gain about 10~15 level intervals to gain new, more useful skills.

To create a new class or race, it has to be really different from the others. I think PW already has most (maybe all) possibilities. To keep it simple, there is a healer, a tank, a melee damage dealer, a magic damagedealer, a ranged physical damage dealer, and a solo class.

Unless you can give me an option for a really new class, I'm against your idea. I mean, whats the point in creating a new character, if it has the same role as an existing class.

In general there's 6 MMO archetypes;
Tank (tends to be physical in fantasy) <Barbarian>
Healer (tends to be magical in fantasy) <Cleric>
Ranged DPS "glass cannon" (can be both) <Archer & Wizard>
Close DPS (can be both) <Blademaster>
Pet class (often the "solo" job, can be both) <Venomancer>
Buffer/Debuffer. (missing from PWI)

Now being that this is a fantasy game, Magic vs. physical division comes into play. Ths is very often done with the Range DPS archetype, In this case Wizard & Archer. I have played games in fantasy universes where this same division was done for close DPS, for instance, Blue Mages in FFXI were melee ranged magic damage dealers, could fire off alot of magic spells with very low MP & casting times with very very limited range supplimented by swords. Retribution Paladins (and possibly Death Knights) were close ranged magic DPS supplimented by sword in the WoW universe.

Also note the missing Archetype of buffer/debuffer. Yes every job in PWI has buffs and debuffs. The same was true in most other games i've played. however there's often a job which focuses to an even greater extent on strengthening themself & weaking the enemy, as their primary means of being able to fight 1 vs. 1. Those buffs & debuffs also made a much greater difference on fight when placed in a group context especially on boss fights. Thus allowing them both semi-soloability (like most PWI classes) and great group utility.

So in my oppinion, a fourth race could include a type of close ranged magic DPS job, and a buffer/debuffer archetype.

Personally I would consider a cleric a buffer and a venomancer(in fox form) a debuffer.

My complaint about the equipment is for someone at my level. In the 30s i have very little to choose from. I simply thought more variety would be nice. For instance I have 1 bow I can buy for any given attribute level. There are 3 races and numerous blacksmiths. Being able to go to different blacksmiths and find slightly different weapons and armor would be nice. If for no other reason than my current bow is ugly. Race specific armor options would be nice too.

never get **** from blacksmiths, get stuff that drop via craft catshops or auction house while there may be 1 armor to choose from it often comes 1,2,or 3 star and has an assortment from a pool of 15-30 stat bonuses

I guess what would be okay is if they were to add new clases that did a lot of the roles that were already filled.


Like two types of classes that both did the mage thing

but slightly differently.

just to mix things up a little bit more.

That makes enough sense.

I agree with Dvorak. If you stop a second and go look at what other versions of PW have, that is probably closest to what we may get in the future. Players in any game really have very little say in large decisions such as classes. Besides imo we don't need any new classes as we are all pretty balanced atm, and with the party size being six, you can have one of each class and get the benefit of each class (in a perfect world anyway XD).

Now a few points I would like to touch on having read all the other posts.

1) Armor/weapon variety. While at the pre-60 levels the variety is rather slim, especialy if you don't have much in game money, you should be able to get to 35-38 without once actually grinding (assuming you don't party or die alot), and those levels really fly by if you know what you are doing. So yeah having alot of variety before that point is rather pointless imo as you will just outlevel that variety rather fast. By the time you get to the grind part of the game, you should have enough money saved up you can afford some of the legendaries or at least a good weapon you can stand to look at (for those of you who care what your weapon looks like...) Even then the grind doesn't really get long until 60+ where you get all sorts of options and you can have several different weapons if you want to.

2) The "missing" buffer/debuffer. As you said every class can buff and debuff to certain extent, archers have some DoTs, as do venos, BMs, Barbs, and mages (not sure about clerics, they are one class i can't stand to play). When all in a party together, each using their debuffs, then all the debuffs are there and it makes things that much easier, as long as they hit anyway. As for buffs Clerics have the main four that everyone should want, and once again almost every other class has a buff that can be given to others. Archers have the evasion buff, BMs have def, Barbs have hp and phys attack, venos have phys reflect. The only one left out iirc are mages who only have self buffs. So really not having a singular buffer/debuffer forces you to party with all the classes so you cna have all the buffs. If we were to get a buffer/debuffer class a few classes might become expendable.

In anycase I love the game, its a great game as is imo, though I heard the grind after 90 or so is fairly unbearable, but w/e, not there yet XD

This game is good but a little too grindy. b:surrender

Not sure what you are talking about, but...
Every 10 lvs (cultivation progressions), you get 2-3 new skills, and every 3-5 levels, EACH skill has a new level to upgrade.

Yes you can made 3 or 4 star itens in smiths, i do one 3 star weapon for my cleric this days...
Not need much more, this game is less grind than more others what i played...

Every MMO is grindy, excluding maybe Runescape. This game is actually less grindy than most thanks to daily quests and quests with decent exp rewards. Try playing a game like Shaiya, Rappelz or Flyff then complain about grinding =P

GuildWars says hi.

Crazy Stones keeps this game playable at the moment, specially since at early 40's ive hit wall, simply because the 'timed' quests have popped up and they arent worth it.

The only thing that really bugs me, and this is the ONLY thing, is the skill leveling system. Having to pay in both spirit and gold to level a skill makes little sense at all. The more you use a skill, the more powerful it gets (yes, with a properly scaled cap) would easily be a perferred alternative.

Just try leveling Sandstorm. b:surrender
