I thought id make a single official thread for this for when everyone begins the flames, so this week, 2 new cash shop adds, hyper exp stones and bulk coral packs.

Hyper XP
works the same as a xp scroll except you choose how much it multiplies by (up to 1200%...) and the duration, and it can be frozen, it ALSO will work with the coming x2 xp week for the next 2 weeks. (2400%)

Bulk corals
Gold discount for buying these comes in bulks of 20 and 50.

personally I hate this weeks update, instead of attempting to fix bugs like for example the cat shop crashing, the text bugs, and numerous cube fails, they've thought hmmm what can we add that’s will sell BETTER then anni packs.

Your thoughts?

    Well I have a Love up and down now from the last coral pack I opened so I don't mind the bulk pack. I won't be buying them that's for sure. Wait.. I have what i want! =D

    As for the stones, well... I want to see the price first. I might go to Target and get cards =)

    I really just want level 90 so I can see what my 68/80 genie turns out to be.

    I think Hyper Stones are so whatever. If people wanted to pay to level before they bought oracles. Now they'll do whatever is easier/cheaper depending on their needs. If you haven't been buying levels there is no one forcing you to start now!

    As for the cheaper coral I think that's kinda nice. No harm to making items cheaper is there? It just a normal sale.

    Not overly thrilled about it but there's always next week. I don't intend to spend much on coral packs and the hyper exp is completely pointless in my view because I barely have the time to complete my daily quests as it is...

    Wonder when we're getting more fashion <.<

    No actually I do play the game but it's my money. No need for you to be jealous. I have been playing MMO's since 1999 (end of 99 I think?) so ten/eleven years later it's still part of my entertainment.

    I DO know how to play my class very well. It's a common sense thing. I don't know how many people **** it up.

    and for thoes underestermating this, +50% from an xp scroll on a air mob = 900xp, with this hyper xp = 10800xp PER KILL (NOT including the xp hween xp neck and belt if ur lucky enough to have one)

    Oh so sorry; without my credit cards help. Opening a in-game box (that doesn't require a hammer at lv.30) doesn't count as buying levels in my book. I meant spending $2300 to hit lv.90, or even $1.50. So yeah shame on be I used to books D:

    The hyper exp is skewed anyway

    As stated

    Upon activation, Hyper EXP has 3 phases:



    1. 1-3 hours of the bonus EXP and Spirit rate
    2. 3 hours of 100% EXP and Spirit rate -(Buffer Time)
    3. 18-20 hours of 10% EXP and Spirit rate – (Exhaustion Time)

    Plus you only get 1/10th exp on the cooldown, so you either log, or catshop for almost a full day...
    Seems bunk to me.

    I'd rather grind my saved up q's for the 26 hours these stones are coursing.
    (seems you could almost get the same amount if you just stuck steady to it)
    But thats just me

    I can sense lots of disturbance in the PWI system pattern lately. It's as if they are trying to wipe every buck u have asap o_O
    And odd as it maybe be lots of ppl will more than happily comply .. so u can only wonder how long would it take until this game turns into another cash only free claimed online game :P

    Welcome to PWI please hand out your credit card for the duration of the stay.

    Spoons is gone and you have a x2 event with Hyper EXP sure cash shoppers will be happy but the old school players base like those who grinded dailies for thousands of hours to get to lv 100...don't think they will like it >_<

    I think most people are waiting for D3 but meh this game will only continue to go downhill.

    PS : Glitches are getting waaay to irritating now =/

    Never tried out D1 or D2 but definitely will try out D3! Maybe that's why PWI is trying to make as much money as possible while they can because once D3 comes out a chunk of PWI players will move on to thatb:victory

    If I really wanted to ding to 100 in a few weeks, i'd go play a private server. No zen required at all and you also hit lv cap in no time. In fact, why does pwi even have a level cap? Level caps are designed so that players can slowly grind to max level with hard work but it gets harder and harder, ensuring they always have a goal to go for. And ensuring each level is an achievement. In PWI you just charge zen for your goal. And levels aren't an achievement. I hit 8x aaaaages ago with a great deal of hard work and grinded countless hours for my set. But who knows? To anyone who looks at me, I could be just a fail who oracled it in a few weeks. =/ If you said to anyone "hey I'm lv80-90 :D" they sneer and say, nub, lv90's easy, I did it in 3 weeks.

    Heck pw, just set the level cap to lv 1000 and start work on your "Advanced Warsoul Weapons" and Nirvana palace 2, up to Nirvana palace 100 and Super Armageddon Palace I-X...each with more uber equips than the rest. And why not make the 10 gold Any-Pack...which randomly gives you any single item in the game, including GM cape at 0.000001% chance. Sound like a joke? Good, it's appropriate, because tbh pwi IS a joke.

    I read in the BM forums about BM's casually discussing large investments of 500m to 1b coins required to become a "great endgame BM" instead of a plain good one. 1 billion freaking coins? 7-8 months ago a herc was 20m and was one of the single most expensive investments a player made in the game. +1-2 w/beautiful shards used to be average for tt90. Now you get sneered at and put in the "poor" category for having everything +5 and flawless above lv90.

    Sorry guys, I dunno what the heck you're trying to do to your game but illegal or not the private servers are doing the exact same thing a damn sight better...and for free too. =/

    Yes, this whole thing sux, but I just ignore it, sure I indulge in some of the things, a few corals here and there, but I believe in hard work to lvl, no oracles, hyper stones (which I think everyone is confused on how they work), or training eso. And I will continue to ignore those that decide to waste hard earned, or not, money on the eccentricities (luxuries if you have it) of this game. Enjoy it for the work that goes into creating an entire online world. Even if they are attempting to flush the thing down the crapper :P

    Instead of fixing things, they're focusing on leveling everyone up and disguising the annipack. Hmm..
