The Big Bad Report-A-Bug Thread

I've been having various inventory glitches since late December 2008. Since then I have uninstalled and reinstalled PWI a total of 4 times. I operate on the vista platform.

These glitches involve various items from my invetory disappearing when I use them. Not potions or other such items that typically disappear from your inventory, but things like boutique clothing, armor, and yes, even my wings. The first case of when this happened was in December 2008, when my Eagle Wings disappeared from the inventory when I tried to equip them. They did not go into the 'wings' equipment slot either. I thought I dropped them accidentally but they were not on the ground. They were simply gone.

Oddly enough in that case, the inventory slot which the Eagle Wings were formerly in could not be filled by another item, but it registered as an empty slot. About two days later, the wings reappeared back in my inventory as though nothing had ever happened.

The second case of this is when my original starter wings vanished WHILE I was flying. I thought this was weird in and of itself... then I realized that I no longer even owned them anymore. They too were gone. When I bought another pair in Plume City, I went back to the spot where I was flying when this happened and they were not there. The case could have been that somehow they 'dropped' themselves and someone picked them up, but there would be no reason whatsoever that I would intentionally drop my wings while I was actively using them.

In this third and last incident, I was trying to equip a fairy dress I had recently bought in the boutique. While I was trying to put it on, the icon disappeared and the game did not register that I had equipped the item. Again, I thought I dropped it or something silly like that, but it was not on the ground. I thought that maybe the server had made an error, so I logged off and logged back in again to discover that the item was still missing.

I've sent a few e-mails to customer services and they keep telling me that I must have dropped or sold the items... when I am sure that I did not.

okay i got the ribbons for the Valentines dayh quest and mine are left over how do i get rid of them. It wont let me drop them

Still No Reply!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Can't Send Any Tickets!!!!!!!!!!!!! This Is Anoying, Why Isn't Any Gm Responding To This Section??????????????????????????????????????

There's a reaccuring bug happening with me, so it might be my computer, but that wouldn't make sense since it's never happened before. What happens is that I won't see other players until I'm close enough. Until I'm right next to their character, I can only see their names. Here

And here


I also cannot see what anyone else - except world/trade - says in the chat window, besides myself. Help?

never mind im saved sorry about the double post too..

Try these, until you're free, in order:


1. Log out and log back in to see if you're still stuck.
2. Use your teleport spell.
3. Submit a ticket to support with your problem with the screenshot: http://support.perfectworld.com/ticketing
4. Wait until you get a response.

ok i tried search fuction but didnt find it so dunno is this bug already reported...

When i push Q button to show quest tab and click " Show/Hide All quests " it shows all quests on tracking list but... if i now click only one quest on tab and click " hide " it just does nothin... quest is still shown in track list. Actually if you look at quest on track list, when you push " hide " that quest text flashes once.

Hopefully this helps.. my english isnt greatest coz im from europe

Ok just a few to go over that I've been procrastinating coming here to post...

First: There are at times, when i can't pick up the loot from my own kill, no one else attacks, thus no one else gets the items, they are just unable to be picked up. Happened again this morning around 10 AM EST; I went to pick up an Element Essence and some coins off a Gilded Princess, and nothing for 1 minute... I logged and tried to pick up again, and I got it. Usually I only have to wait 30 seconds.

Second: Every night when I go to sleep, I open up my catshop, and try to sell stuff I wouldn't put on auction... Every day when I get up, and go to play the game, it's horribly laggy and the game is unplayable to say the least. All I have to do is log to fix this, but it's a bit annoying when I have to set up shop later and redo all my prices...and redo a few other things on my screen. Happens every day.

Third: There will be times, I'm killing a mob, and it has just; fired an arrow, casted a spell, etc. I will kill it, and then as it hits the ground I get hit with another instantaneous magic ball or arrow, or I'll even be running away and get hit by a sword as the creature is dying. I'm not sure if this is something you had planned or not, but I just thought I would let you know.

All I can think of for now...I'm positive I had a couple more... but I'll be back if I can think of them.

Thx for your time

That is a known bug the message "No effect" was put in so hopefully people don't buy the skill. Hopefully the devs in China will work on that soon.

......... Still waiting on that fix..........?!

nvm its gud now..

I'm selling items in my cat shop, but they aren't disappearing from my inventory. I get the money for them, but when I close my shop the items in my inventory turn solid again and can be put into the shop.

I didn't really want to report this lol but I didn't want to risk getting banned either.

It's not a bug, it's intentional. For Untamed males it's common to become a barbarian while females tend to go the venomancer route.
If you don't want to play a female character then choose any other class than a venomancer.

Thanks to "yaitavar" for lending us this interesting bit of information:

Well, PW is a chinese game, and the race tab info of the main site states that the untamed origionate from animals that have developed thought. In asian folklore (which the untamed race is undoubtedly derived from), animal spirits gain power and thought by absorbing the energy of humans and their surroundings. The differences in the energy causes different abilities in addition to natural tendencies changing the kind of energy that would be absorbed. In this case, the diffences in sexes is most likely due to yin and yang.

Yin is largly attributed to females. It is the subtle part. It also covers tranquility/concentration, patience, and creation. A venomancer at base is a caster class and as such relies much on yin. The reason for venomancers to be female is because females are more compatable with yin and absorb it easier thereby giving them venomancer qualities.

Yang on the other hand is masculine. It is attributed to direct action, strength and solidity. The amales are more likely to absorb yang than females and thereby become barbarians.

Yes, it is possible to force a female to absorb alot of yang (and a male ot absorb yin), but that would only take place in a highly unnatural place where there is way more of one (yin or yang) than the other. This is because males would naturally absorb more yang than yin and females more yin than yang, (it would probably be horribly painful to go against the flow too and have an incredibly low success rate).

Finally, remember that assuming the untamed come from this aspect of folklore, they are wild and are following their instincts when they start, by the time they are "intelligent" enough to decide what class they want to be, it is too late and their role has been shaped.

Further proof of the "absorption of 'chi'" idea is the fact that venomancers transform into foxes ie chinese huli jing, japanese kitsune, and the korean kumiho. Of which, huli jing and kitsune are often represented as females and the kumiho is usually female though there is 1 (only 1) account in which it was male.

i hava a problem for 2 days now everytime i attack i freeze for 10 minutes i don't know what is going on i re logd and restarted my computer don't know what more i can do

7 days ago i turned lvl 89 and was ready to start my Sage(Heaven) cultivation. When i got to the Sage npc i picked both quests that it had to offer, 1 of them was the cultivation and the other one was the FB quest with tabs. I notice seconds later that i had in my quest log the wrong cultivation and wrong fb quest. I summited a ticket minutes after and 5 days later after talking to 4 different GMs that gave me an auto reply (Please wait for your ticket to be answered) witch makes me feel like the Customer Support is a 0/10 then a GM with the name of Sihndraeth managed to talk directly to PWE QA TEAM techsupport@perfectworldinc.com. After this he/she told me that the QA team would email me soon, i waited few hours and i got an email asking me to send them Screen shoots of my cultivation. I sent them 3 screenshoots and i got another email hours later telling me my SS did not show so i resent them again. It's been 2 days almost 3 since that last email From QA and i totally have no idea if they got my SS or not nor if my problem is been worked on, all i can say is that i no longer have much patience left and i really can't tell if my problem will be solve or not. I will post the screen shoots ones again of my cultivation........... if any GM or mod can forward this to them it would be great........

This is the 7th day and still waiting ... i am very angry about the poor support i have gotten so far .... I will hope this will get me closer to the solution of my problem.....

i have observed something concerning the default flying devices and movement speed:

on my elf cleric i obtained the passive skill that increases movement speed by 0.2 per level when flying with the natural wings. however, when flying im still as fast as when running as shown in the character window.

same applies to my venomancer and her default wave pace. the description sais it should add 0.5 movement speed when flying but actually it doesnt.

when using speed pots or summer sprint skill however their increse in movement speed is shown correctly in the character window.
