    oh right, the packs had warsoul helm in it, naturally if tournament gives 4 a week that means less incentive to get the helm with packs. I'd rather wait on a gm to give a response though.

    Makes me wonder what the reasoning behind this was.


    I mean, tournament didn't seem to be bugged or anything.

    If the content doesn't make them money, it is summarily removed.

    Also, threads on this topic are being deleted left and right. Tsk tsk.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    The PWI Tournament is under development and will be released when it's ready.

    It seemed pretty ready to me.


    As in, I did it a week ago and it seemed to be just fine.


    Why would they remove something that works so they can "develop" it, while there's plenty of other things in the game that are only half done? Like the daily race, that's only half implemented I have a stack of monthly race qualifiers that I haven't been able to do anything with for OVER A YEAR.

    The tournament is one of the FEW things in this game that was ready when it was implemented. I must say that's probably one of the worst excuses I've ever heard for why content was removed.


    You could say, Its bugged, and it would make sense.

    But it's under development? It's been working for a month now and as we've all seen, it is ready.




    Sounds more like the Dev's were like:


    "ZOMG PPL ARE GETTING THE HELMS WITHOUT CASH SHOPPING!!!!! REMOVE TOURNAMENT NAO!!"

    Wow, omfg a response :O. Seriously was pretty fail that this statement couldn't have been stated in the patch notes. At least knowing that it will come out sometime again, and the dev. team is working on it, is quite helpful.

    Sihndra is correct about it being bugged. This NPC was removed until we can get it working correctly, and in the meantime its item exchange function has been given to Jolly Old Jones.

    So what was the bug apparently? There's tons of content in game thats bugged but it doesn't get removed.


    And like I said, I find it very hard to believe that it's been removed so they can "develop" it, the daily race has been around since the beginning of the game and I have yet to be able to do anything with my monthly race tickets.

    I can name one bug, you die in tourney you end up dead in either Centre of Archo or outside South Archo...

    Never heard anyone complaining about Tournament being bugged O_O

    Never heard anyone that bugged or glitched in tourney either O_O

    Seemed to work pretty well to me lol

    Fixing bugs prolly mean making tourney suck, nerfing the exp, nerfing the drops, making it 100% harder to get helm and you need cs-item to enter b:surrender

    0.1 % chance to contain a tournament ticket (allows access to tournament)
    edit: actually this is stupid. it goes completely against the pwi ethos. players shouldn't have to actually play the game for rewards? just charge zen!
    it should be 0.1 % to win tournament badge (necklace) <--"a testament to the players prowess in pvp tournaments" grants a 80% chance to one shot any player that has not bought at least 200 zen

    99.9% chance to lose all your refines (don't worry pwi cares about their customers, hit "o" ingame to bring up the boutique where you can purchase dragons orbs to return your gear to its original refine level)

    Ty for finally clarifying this. it has been on my mind for some time now. Any reason as to why this couldnt be announced/clarified? on the patch notes?
