Petition against Jones Blessing

There is a need to make this Jones' Blessing +30 Attack level pack non-permanent, or the game will suffer many long term repercussions, negative ones possibly.

Let's do a bit of analysis.

Pros: PvE goes faster. More attack, monsters die faster. Faster dungeoning, more DQ drops(as mentioned by someone of how devs make up for drop in DQ npc price).

Cons :

Venomancers: have the lowest nuking damage of all arcane classes. Only cos their damage is spread out to having a pet as well. Jones' Blessing does not affect the pet. This means that of all the DD classes, Jones Blessing accentuates the differences between the classes and makes a properly developed and planned balance between classes(original devs of PW game from PW-Beijing) and throws the classes into a state of non-balance.

Clerics: More often than not, you are healing. In the PvP aspect, let's say in TW for example, most often you are healing as that is your job. Jones Blessing doesnt make you heal better. But all the other classes especially DD classes have +30 Attack. As a cleric, would you feel this is fair.

Barbs/BMs: Mostly for cata barbs, will you use +8 DEF, or +30 ATT. Some BMs prefer stay alive blessings rather than attack, as compared to a ranged DD's job, BMs main roles are to aoe stun, and HF. Once again, the classes with more survivability have that trait questionable with the surface of the Jones Blessing.

There may be more cons to point out, but I'll stop here. Perhaps this is PWE's method of making up for the loss of dominance blessings in dungeons, and/or the lowering of DQ npc prices. Or perhaps they just want more free advertising on Facebook.

Note that when an RPG makes it such that characters become easier to kill, it means more consumables used, i.e HP charms n etc here, which means more income for the company. Also note that if everyone has their attack increased, this means it is more favourable to defend in TW for this game. i.e, the stronger guilds will have a much easier time against attacking guilds for contest of land ownership.

Suggested recommendations to PWE: make Jones Blessing non-permanent, it is a great risk that will upset the game mechanics in the long run. Find another way to make up for what you have taken from customers and players. Reduce the bless proportion from 30, to maybe 10. Or bring back blessing packs in dungeons. I believe the dev team has power, resource, and the intelligence to find alternatives instead of letting this +30 ATT lvl blessing pack stay permanently in this game.


As the saying goes humans will never reject free power bestowed upon them, so seeing as there are more DD classes than defensive/hybrid ones in this game, the poll will be predicted as having more No voted than Yes. However, I hope the discussion that goes on in this thread catches the attention of a wise staff amongst PWE, who is able to see the long term repercussions on the game this blessing pack may inflict.

Just my 2 cents. ^^

Disclaimer : I am not making any attack towards the PWE company and am just voicing freedom of speech. Hope the staff and player base analyze the injection of this blessing pack seriously and effect some kind of consensus.
