A archer's crossbow is the closest thing that looks like a gun. b:chuckle
But no, this game dose not have guns and you should know why.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

imagine an archer with a vulcan minigun...what would the dps be?"No matter how dark the world is,

We already have enough OP mechanics to deal with, thank you. While black powder is certainly available ingame, the concept of guns i think would run contrary to the game's setting. Also, guns are an obvious DD mechanic, the balance of which the addition of the new classes has already unbalanced. Hybrid classes, especially an option that can stand in for Clerics in much the same way BMs do for Barbs, would be a much better addition that further saturating the game with DD choices.
Edit; Still, i believe fixing what is already in the game to be the top priority. I've always thought the best solution to cleric scarcity would be to nerf Morning Dew while significantly lowering it's channeling time. This would bring it online with existing cleric spells, and while still far from the reliability of Ironheart, allow Wizzies to take on the role of healers in a larger number of scenarios.0 -

This game is based around Chinese culture and lore. Chinese had gunpowder long before there were guns. They, however, did not create guns, but had them introduced. Therefore, no, guns should not ever be in this game.
Besides, in a world where guns are around, what exactly would be the purpose of a bow or a crossbow?0 -
(x)Bows require arrows, guns require gunpowder and slug. Same concept but something new to carry with you b:thanks[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

You've obviously never seen two same level BH squads spamming chat for a Cleric 20 mins. straight. There used to be six classes, now there's eight. Only one can competently heal through most bosses. I'm in no way saying someone else should get the ability to res or purify, nor even heal on the same level as Clerics. But we do need a break. I don't complaint about a lack of tankers because that's mostly the playerbase's fault in not recognizing the potential of BMs, which are one of the most played classes. Also there's HA venos and higher level LAs. Not to mention many bosses can be handled by robe users.
But Wizzies can generally only substitute for Clerics with disproportionately strong Tanks. This is a balance issue.

An advancement in technology such as guns in a game-world of monsters and conjurers of magic? Yeah, i don't think that would work for the fantasy world.AeonieX - Hybrid Vit Veno 6x
HarmieX - Pure Mag Psychic 6x
KyraneiX - Axe/Fist BM 4x
KyranthoX - Axe Barb 2x
KyyranthoX - Hybrid Cleric 2x

They could group the new skill scroll with a set of cowboy jeans or daisy duke shorts and call it the "Dukes of Hazzard" combo pack.
I wouldn't mind guns being added for another race like dwarves or something down the road as long as they were balanced and added "flavor" to the game but I agree with other posters that it would be nice to get other things finished first.Laurrixa - 64 Sin0 -
I wouldn't mind guns if...
A) Clerics could revive themselves
Guns were ONLY a cash shop "weapon" fashion
C) Chocobos were introduced to PWI and you need DQ orders for them (and will not be in the cash shop).0 -
No guns, ewwww please no, have had enough of that, I like the weapons as theyre there now, whips tho, would be cool :P b:victoryMANray_ - Sanctuary wrote: »You've obviously never seen two same level BH squads spamming chat for a Cleric 20 mins. straight.

This isnt related to there arent enough clerics tho MANray_, its related to the bull**** a cleric goes through on a daily basis while doing random bh squads. My thought it most clerics just decided theyre not going for the used and abused and then yelled at feeling anymore b:chuckleMy caracters:
Faith_z - 7x Cleric (main)
HaveFaith_z - 5x Veno
Ivory_Soul -3x Psychic
Dont give me an attitude, I got one of my own!

I meant to say that the ratio of Clerics to other classes is now smaller, this is independent of wether Clerics go through any more hazards than other classes which TBH is an issue i won't get into, as it's already been proven to me it would lead to nothing but a flame war(don't mean you). I may start a thread especifically for this later on, although i'm not sure if i may have much time to spare for most of the day.
Back on topic; It's morons that kill people. Morons with guns. Vote yes on banning guns in PW. b:laugh0 -
lol @ noobs saying guns werent used in ancient china
the most primative example of the gun was the fire lance used ~1132 AD IN ANCIENT CHINA!!!
they introduced gunpowder to the world, and used the first example of guns. it would fit in just fine to add in firelock weapons for ranged classes.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

LOL @ arrogant noob who thinks he knows Chinese history. The earliest record of firearms in China dates to the tenth century AD which myths about werefox and such clearly predate. Journey to the West and other classical tales this game is clearly based upon, are usually placed at the time of the Tang dinasty, in which time guns were certainly not available as you demonstrate yourself based on the date you have provided for primitive firearms.
Since Perfect World should be considered it's own mythos, it remains a matter of personal opinion wether firearms belong in the setting or not. Don't shoot other people's opinion by claiming an ignorance you obviously posses yourself.0 -
