Genie resets gone.. where was the warning?

+1

I took the quest from it, but not the second (which converts gods of war to the resets) and now i can't convert it. I did because i didn't want to reset my genie's atr. and affinities now, and i didn't want to get 2 slots of my bank for the resets.

Sooo i have 1 slot occupied on my bank that's usless now -.-. i won't NPC it for 1 coin >:(

It's true, u didn't said "it will be for a limited time"

I second this emotion. The skills were not even updated in game yet, so many who were preparing to make changes were not filling two slots of their inventory with something they were not going to use until everything was "sorted". This is not to mention those poor players who took a week vacation in the wrong week. I pity their surprise when they return. Why couldn't you have made it just a one time quest? There needed not be a time limit. Spit it up, GM's. Everyone deserves a genie reset after the changes you've made.

You guys had a week to use the quest and get the items. The items themselves did not disappear.. so honestly if you didnt get the quest and get the items over the past week i feel no sympathy what so ever.

I didn't pick mine up earlier... I submitted a ticket like an hour ago... we'll see what happens I just dont have the inventory space to hold those orders while I'm still deciding what to do -.-

This.

Removing them without any warning whatsoever is pretty messed up.

Someone made the point about players being on vacation - similarly what about those in hospital etc who have had no chance to pick up the quests to get the refresh stone and origination orders - they are now going to be penalized for PWI's mistakes - hardly Treating Customers Fairly is it?


For me I agree with Victory above, i also had such a time picking how to un-nerf my genie on my main I was waiting till the skills were fixed before picking up the quests on my alts.

It's the players that are your source of income PWI - this move won't increase the sale of cash shop refreshment stones it is more likely to drive people away even faster than you are already. This is really putting me off lining PWIs pockets with any more of my hard earned. Ok thats only one player not paying you anymore, but how many are just going to silently quit the game and move on over this?

This is just not fair. How that note was written gave no indication that there was a time limit. Some of us were really thinking and research how best to use this for our characters and now all of a sudden its gone. now I have to buy a refreshment stone? Wait is there gonna be a sale on genie reset next week? you think all the Pay events last weeks and weeks but a free event disappears in one week as if it was a mistake in the first place. Shame, There are so many other things in the game that NEEDED fixing. This was not one of them. Did everyone get back their hair yet?

I forgot to pick mine up ... ****

I would be happy to sign a petition to have this implemented for another couple weeks or so. Even though I have already gotten my resets for both of my characters. I think its only fair that warning is indeed given for something like this, and I agree with all the reasons on page one (got lazy stopped reading).

And that's my 2 cents.

Let me tell you this, and remember it for the rest of your gamer's life... They can change anything at anytime. Don't wait untill it's more convinient for you, cause it might not be there anymore.

You have a quest that gives you free stuff, go take it NOW. This is not the first time they change something without warnings and it's not gonna be the last...

Taken from another thread about the same topic.

No matter how you people disagree about this, you can deny that it's true.

They gave you a week to take the items, thats more than enough, unless you went on a holiday etc. If you are worried about the 2 slots it's going to take up, make an alternate character or put in your bank and store it there.

I'm not saying that I don't know how you all feel, because I felt the same way countless times when this kind of things happen.

Okay, now, after you people read my post, I know you are going to reply and disagree with me. So, if you do intend to reply, please try to ignore and prevent this thread from turning into a flame war.

-Just an opinion from a newbie.

Except you can't trade them. b:victory So you can't store them on an alt.b:surrender

Oh I see, I'm sorry for not knowing that, as I said, I'm a newbie. b:chuckle

Well, here's another solution.

You can take 2 items that you don't really need urgently and transfer them into an alt, then take the freebies from the Watcher of the Earth and store it using the 2 slots you have just given yourself. b:victory

After you have decided what skills you are going to put into your genie, use the Genie resets, then transfer the 2 items from your alt back into your main.

Simple right?

Lovely

I was waiting to get my genie reset items until I knew what stats to change on my genie... because they'd sit and waste inventory space...and now I CAN'T get them anymore T_T They never said it was a limited time thing. That's just WONDERFUL. Now my genie is ruined forever

All I gotta say, is "Wow... Fail." No warning, no hint that they might be temporary in anyway. I'm just glad I'm a researchaholic. The instant you guys nerfed and changed the genies, I immediately looked up every single skill that was of interest to me on my high level main, and set up potential genie skill sets for my alts. That way, I got the current requirements, and bonuses in an actual usable form, instead of the guesswork in the Skill description window.

I, thankfully, didn't have to reset my Alt's genie, although I took the War Rewards, planning to use it later, if the skills I chose turned out to suck in reality. But, here's a funny thing... Not everyone can do that. So you basically just screwed every mid to low level player who doesn't have a serious description of the genie skills. I know we could get the quest reward at any time, but what was the point? It was made pretty apparent that if you took it at a low level, you basically got a tiny sliver of help, so most people were waiting until they were high level, and actually had a reason to restat their genies when they discovered how nerfed the skills that had been advised really were.

Bad move, PWI. Really bad move. You're really going down a very, very bad road here. You're starting to remind me of a certain game I left long ago for you. Less Greed NOW. This is a FREE TO PLAY game. I'm a CS user, and this is really starting to disgust me. Especially considering the prices of the items you just took out. 50 cents per ONE point? Unlike our characters, who take a long time to develop, and **** up, genies can get completely botched in a matter of minutes. And once you messed with the skills, perfectly organized genies were screwed up in the time it took to download a patch.

Did you not see how many "What do I do with my Genie now?" Posts were all over this forum? People needed time to fix YOUR mistakes, and now you just spit in their faces, and told them "You've had your time, now you pay to fix our ****-ups." This alone wouldn't have hurt so bad, but this is just one of a long string of similar things that has happened in recent memory. You're keeping gold prices up with the incessant sales, so non CSers can't even afford a genie reset, you've put Endgame gear in the CS, you've done so many crappy, crappy things to us, and you just keep expecting us to take it.

Can you not see that you're pushing us to the breaking point? You've got an entire history of PW on these forums. Go back to the first few posts. You see the optimism there? People were looking forward to this game, and what it brought. It was new, it was exciting, it was an adventure. Now work up to the present. See a BIG difference? The player base hasn't changed, only grown. What's changed is your policies. Stop it. We are not your puppets to dance, and play at your whim. We are your customers, your partners. We need each other to make this a good game. You supply us with GOOD things, we supply you with the funds to make more GOOD things. That's how it works. You supply us with ****, we go "WTF is this?" and stop supplying you with money. Just because there are those still willing to tolerate this doesn't mean they're going to stick around once they can buy every single thing they ever wanted out of the CS. They'll get bored oneshotting anyone and anything, and take their money elsewhere.

Supply us with CONTENT. This winter means absolutely nothing if you chase off the people that would enjoy it by forcing **** down their throats. Do an event that isn't CS related. Do you even remember how? I don't mean some forum game, or some art contest. I mean like the Thanksgiving Event, or the Christmas Event. Give us something to do in game, that doesn't involve our wallets. You've got Halloween coming up. Here's your chance to prove that you care about us. Don't give us some cash shop ****. Give us something that anyone, and everyone can enjoy.

I have to agree, this is completely uncalled for.
luckily i picked mine up, but its still not fair to give no warning at all.
