v182 Update discussion thread.

if the flaming continues with no feedback your posts will be deleted, then if you post flames again with no feedback you will be banned, I'm sorry that it has to be this way, but I need to bring order to chaos if I'm ever going to be able to report all of the concerns to our devs

Can you exactly tell us what you consider as constructive feedback then? There were several ideas in the previous pages, I'm pretty sure you took note of them. But can we at least get some ETA when they be looked at and discussed? So we will know what to expect.

I can't give you an ETA, because then if stuff takes longer the flamefest will just start up again. Expect me to voice your concerns to the right people, obviously the discussion that will follow this will be focused on what we can do better.

i bet Gold prices are: 1m/gold when they release new classb:chuckle

Hey least you have a job!!!!

IRL mobs.....not sure. -.-

Try grinding Buisinessmen, they tend to spawn near cities. Most will spawn in the 7am, 12pm, and 5pm hours (server time)

I think the majority of people are upset w/ the fact that End game gears have been given away for real life money. So to the higher lvl players who played for a very long time to farm and grind to get those mats, feel as if they have been neglected. Imagine getting a weapon that requires you to farm for several months, obtained by a player in one day who payed a lot of cash for it, or maybe even just 40 bucks. So the long time players feel really upset because the gear and weapons they worked hard to get have been given away really w/ a click of a mouse.

My soultion is like others, to take that box out of cash shop if possible. maybe make it a drop from a mob in a high end fb.

= death of the game.

Who knows though the event has already done a ton of damage but maybe they will find some way to stop more damage from occuring and try to fix things.


Good luck to the people in charge, they have a short timespan to fix things.

They should close the servers for emergency maintenance, actually see what the community is saying and take action to prevent a majority of people from leaving. Probably far too drastic as so much real money has passed between pwi and consumer that a rollback, which I see the only real option to save pvp and pwi in general, would cause just as much qqing. I'd hate to be who ever has to try to fix this - if anyone is trying.

SO now that our dear GM's know of this issues and the massive amounts of players who are considering leaving this game, what are you going to do about it? I joined this game because it was fun, and free, and I and so many others have worked so hard for the little coin we get.
Now its a bureaucracy, my husband and I cannot even afford to get married in this game when we have saved up for it, but after this morning. Forget it. Perhaps its time to find a new game.

it's true, when all you post is a negative flame such as "omg the game is dying" there is nothing constructive I can draw from it. same thing with generalizations

there are 3 simple measures to my standpoint:

1. rollback. hard (cancelling credit card purchases is probably the worst part), painful, generates a lot of QQ and topics like "I quit".

2. suspend event. halts the problem from growing but people are already awere of this possibility and the damage won't be undone.

3. leave it as it is. that's why this topic is here i guess.

LOL.

Salesmen b:surrender


This is all out of control. People are letting not even ONE DAY of an event cause so much anger.....Frustration, I can see that, but anger does and will do nothing.

And from what I see here...it is not that large of the community that is angry. It is a smaller % and the same people over and over.

The sale is going on for a whole month. How can the game possibly recover if it's been messed up so badly from day 1? I'm simply asking what you think about it, not being hostile or anything.

yeah, hopefully gold prices will go down but it's a very difficult thing to do. With so many people committed to not spending that leaves a small number of players who can price gold at whatever they want

Like the Jolly event did?
spoons u want feedback, people already gave several ideas. Ofc none will be implemneted. It would be unfair to people that already bought gold. Although giving away engame gear for a few bucks is not really good idea.. anyway i dont care. I already quittedb:cuteb:bye

It was nice of PW-I to give us free mounts (those that were lucky to register before that time) and give us a month of extra exp on weekends...

It was also nice to have Anniversary Packs in CS which gives nice items as well for only one gold...

But that one gold is hurting us incredibly. Gold prices shot skyward and it will be a very, very long time before it falls back down. GMs promised us that Jolly Old Jones awhile back would bring gold prices down or help stabilize the economy but it never did - instead, on HT (dunno about others), it stayed around the ~190k range...which is so little compared to what we have to endure now (~450k+).

It's school time and many people have quit their job so they can do school (example situation ><) and no job equals no flowing income...so they have to rely on the coin they make ingame. But what's the use now? With people who are able to buy hundreds of Anniversary Packs, no doubt they have many of those Best Token things at their disposal in which they can exchange just TWO for 10 mil coins...

Now if Jolly was there to drain coins before...why are we given this option to get so much more? Where is he now?

Anyway...
I think the players would've been happy if perhaps the Pack was not a CS item but a free gift obtainable via daily, or even once-a-week quest during this month to perhaps level 20+ characters or something, I don't know.

Meh. <shrug> Don't take this idea GMs...because if you do, I will, and others, will be furious: but I wonder if Packs would've been better or worse if you had to open it with a Perfect Hammer...XDDD...

Anyway. Happy Birthday PW.

it's too early to say, but you know that we've been trying to find ways to get inflation down. The thing is, we have to implement things gradually because, as you can see, people react very negatively to change

I can say that I look forward to the new race and classes.
And I usually look at updates positively.
