I come from the world of Warhammer Online. I am interested in the PvP aspect of this game. Can anyone enlighten me on the "end game"? Hopefully with comparisons to WAR if anyone has played it. I would like to know how territory is captured and controlled. How large format combat works or doesn't work in this game.

I stopped playing WAR because it performs like **** on my computer and I don't want to upgrade right now. Also, the end game is a joke.

If anyone is interested I have a few end game WAR accounts I might trade for goods/services in this game. My primary server was Dark Crag.

Oh and I'm interested in any in-game help tutelage/power leveling anyone can offer. I have lots of dumb questions that need answering. :)

    Unless you plan on selling your old War accounts (which I'm not sure of their rules), you really aren't supposed to buy characters or gold from other sites or areas except the official PWI site.

    I'm not exactly sure of the Warhammer aspects completely, but the wars are weekly. Guilds have to bid 500k (minimum) or more on land (and competition from other bidders) in order to compete for land. After the winner is decided, the guild has to fight. In the past, they were PvE battles with your goal to be kill 200 elite monsters within 3 hours. Now it's PvP, guild vs. guild battles (80 max on each side). At this point, if you can destroy the enemy's crystal (like their base), you take the land. The guild receives 10,000,000 coins every week from the territory.

    As for end game, someone else will have to explain that.

    I wasn't planning to buy gold from any other place besides the PWI site or maybe Game Cards from Target.

    Could you elaborate more on the bidding part? How the winner is decided and how the 80 vs 80 guild battle is scheduled? Where does it take place?

    Nice to hear that you don't have to fight a bunch of PvE monsters to win a PvP game. That's how WAR is right now and it's infuriating.

    There is a guide on the Main Website of Perfect World to show you how our "Territorial War" works..

    It's actually pretty simple.

    Offensive VS Defensive. Offensive always has a slight advantage though...
    Position: Professional Forum Troll
    Position Details: Be able to incite people to flames and perform miracles such as telling people what's right and what's wrong. Be able to dish out flames to other people so fire extinguishers are needed to put out the flames. Most of all, giving others a piece of reality.

    What I would like to know is: "How is the 10 mill coins distributed?"
    Does it all go to the GL who then distributes or does it get distributed evenly throughout the guild automatically?

    All to the guild leader to help the guild expand of course. There is no reason to share the gold unless your guild leader is a selfish.

    Then just quit that guild and join a better one.

    Doesn't offensive have to lug a catapult and be sucidal maniacs who try to plow through millions of defenders?

    Defensive.. just have to kill you guys.

    Decide which you want to say. Either way you're full of ****.

    Defensive has the advantage in TW for a couple reasons. They have more towers, and if they can hold out for the whole time they win automatically.

    However, an attacking guild will only have one tw at that time, so they can always send their best 80 to one tw.
    A defending guild can have up to 3 at a time, and would have to split their forces in that case, which makes it a lot harder.

    well in the start you do have to fight a bunch of pve monsters teir 1 2 and 3 3 being the hardest with harder mobs/boss, but now the land is taken it's only now that the pvp wars are at hand, its to server time im not exactly sure becuz im not from thre but this week you will see the battle has begun between so an so for (land name), theres a certain time during the week were the leader of the guild bids, i forgot were >>, the winner is decided by who has held out defence for 3 hours or who kills each others crystal first, crystals being at their bases, there are main classes that are very important in tws, barberians = lot of hp an defence so they pull catapults to the enemies base wich destroy the crystal faster, venos debuff an kill ppl, mages nuke, cleric heal ofc an attack, archers attk bms keep everyone stun locked so that the squishies dont get killed to fast

    edit ( when it says " the battle have begun between (guild name) an (guild name) an land name, u get in by talking to the teliporter by saying enter instance, if you have anymore questions, message me ill see if i can help

    That was what I thought until this week. Radiance in HT has 3 defending and 1 attacking at the same time.

    That's nothing tbh, in lost city, 2 guilds have been privileged with 14 and 11 TWs in a week.

    One of them died. (the latter)

    I played WAR, War was a huge disappointment. I also played DAoC before that and while it's still the best PvP, this one isn't bad either. b:victory
