Perfect World<>Imperfect Game

No game is perfect, never has been, never will be. They ALL could use improvements.

Be honest, you just wanted a reason to use that title for the thread.

You could always go and buy WOW and then pay for the privilege of playing the game you just bought. b:laugh

Ye it looks imba from a graphics point of view, although more details could be added in the environment with all that wasteland, also land could be bigger, also dungeons seem boring in detail and development,

For the rest we all agree that there is alot wrong with the game, in my first enthusiasm i thought really perfect, but i think it is an elite game for the rich, if you dont have any gold to spend, you can hardly obtain anything unless, you save like an idiot for a long time.
Very clever that everything that makes this game really nice and usefull is buyable for ZEN-GOLD, but,
Prices are way to high, and not much in the game requires really playing your character optimal, i mean no hard instances at your own lvl to learn the pros and cons of your char?
Just FB runs which are done by high lvls that run you thru it in minutes with no skills required ?
Why not make a game with infinite resources all for free, where you can equip whatever you like whenever, now that would be a real PERFECT WORLD lol
b:bye

o yeah indeed the character creation part is the only really almost perfect thing

I still play another online mmorpg while playing this one. I started playing this one because the other one is a Cash Shop *****. I will give you a couple examples where that one clearly surpasses this one in greed and price.

In this game you can buy a mount in game or a special mount outside the game, as you can in that game. In this game, the special Boutique mounts range in price from $5 to $50 (this includes flying mounts), each has their specific stats and appearance. You can choose to get the Big $50 rare mount or you can choose to get the smaller $10 riding mount or even the $5 flying mount if you want. You know exactly what you are getting. In that game, There are new mounts introduced all of the time, but to get them you have to purchase a "bag" which has a random item or mount in the bag. The Bags cost is $6 and the chance that the bag will contain a mount is .5%. So if you want to guarentee you are going to get 1 mount, you have to spend $1200 for 200 bags.

Another example, I have yet to see an event that is specifically for people who only use the cash shop, but I have only been playing for 2 months. In that game, on a weekly basis they put out event where the person who spends the most money gets a game unbalancing item.

In that game, they announce one day last week that they were closing the game for 24 hours while they switched to a new server, 5 minutes before they closed the game down. As an appology they offered a day of 2x exp for everyone, starting midnight tonight. Today they canceled that event and instead are offering to have the exp enhancing items that can only be purchased in their cash shop will provide double the effect for the day. That right, for a week they were advertising this appology to everyone, then today they announce that its only for the cash shop users. At least a couple weeks ago with this game when they closed because of the money glich, they made no false promises with a reward. They just appologized to everyone.

I could go on for hours on this. I gotta say though that I like that the cash shop here is as cheap as it is, and that I can choose what I am going to get, no random chance with anything other then the color of the fashion.

usually <> means "not equal to"

thread basically means "Perfect World is not equal to imperfect game"
double negatives cancel.

that's your typical PvE players, always wanting more for less (or free)

Excuse me? How does what he/she posted equates to 'typical PVE players'?

Don't make sweeping statements without having the ability to substantiate them.

I'm from a PVE server, Sanctuary same as OP and I do not agree with what she said.

Does your statement then mean that all PVP players are as irrational as you?

Totally free games are quite rare, don't you agree? Maintaining and running an MMO will cost you so you need to get that money from somewhere.
Perfect World doesn't make you pay for the game, which in my opinion is a brilliant thing as many of us can't play all the time, so the monthly payment would go to waste at times.
Still the money has to be earned, so they are giving us things that we can buy with real money instead. It's totally up to each and every us to buy or not to buy things.
You can even have access to the cash shop stuff if you've decided not to pay for the game, so you're no different to a "paying player" by any means.

Saying things are too expensive is just because you are poor, there's no denying that. If the hellhound mount sells good then it seems to have the right price. If it's not selling then it's apparently too expensive.

You specifically chose to run FB's with high levels. They are quite runnable with a full party of near-same level. How do you think we did them when the game started? I'll agree a lot of people are lazy and want higher leveled people do everything for them, but it's not a requirement. Playing with a near-same level party lets you learn all the ins and outs of your character and make better players, some people though can't be bothered to do so.

LOL I tried the "hard way" before going the "easy way" on FB...I still feel bad for getting those guys killed...I tried to help them kill as best I could but in the end we all ran and I managed to get out alive by the fluff of my tail which is better than what I can say for my squad mates.

You can do it but you need to be much higher level than when you get the quest. At least 10 levels better with a big group or higher with a small group it is just insane. This is super true of the first one when no class of your level has much in the way of any skills so healers are junk, tankers cannot tank, killers cannot kill maybe it gets better later on when you are more equipped to fight worth a darn.

My girlfriend and I were able to do FB19, charmless, with a lvl 27 Veno and a lvl 27 Barbarian. We were both new to the game and hadn't ever done an FB before, nor had any advice for how to do them. Our first attempt at lvl 24 ended with us getting killed at the final room due to some untimely misclicks. (Although, to be honest, I think we probably would have gotten killed by the boss had we not died just before him.)

All we did was go very slowly and carefully while I used lots of life powder / pots / chaos powder. When I see people getting killed in FBs it's virtually always because they're rushing through non-stop. I suspect they do that because that's what they saw the high-levels do when they had somebody else do the quests for them instead of trying to do it themselves.
