PWI 2nd anniversary - Predictions

I don't know why people keep misinterpreting what Frankieray said like this.

indefinite
1. not definite; without fixed or specified limit; unlimited: an indefinite number.
2. not clearly defined or determined; not precise or exact: an indefinite boundary; an indefinite date in the future.

So, he only said that they didn't have a specific date yet for removing them, not that they would never be removed.

You're arguing semantics really. For all intensive purposes, with the exception of a few weeks here and there, packs have almost continuously been in-game since they were first introduced.

Now they have a pack that has no projected removal date. Perhaps Coaral Packs may yet be removed, but there will always be a pack in some form or another.

b:bye

my prediction : PWI will put EXP orb for sale on Boutique...
of course they will not forget those anni packs, coral packs, zongzi pack, tiger packs, etc etc packs... b:victory

Fixed that for you!

Anyways, I was only talking about the Coral Packs, and since what Frankieray said was being misinterpreted, then of course I was arguing semantics. How else can one point out that what someone said is being misinterpreted? b:puzzled

Nothing you said above disagrees with what I said in the least. In fact, you're basically agreeing with me, so I'm not sure what your point was. :-P

There's a good reason packs are likely to remain in the game permanently... They freaking SELL! Now, i'm by no means calling for a boycot of any kind, but merely pointing to a fact. A large part of the comunity (including those who complaint the most about packs) either benefit from buying packs themselves or use the objects contained in them, wether tokens, gear, etc. I'm not by any means saying they shouldn't. I for one i'm glad to find 9k teles with gold prices upwards of 400k and packs are the reason i may one day hope to afford a frost wep. Yea, they do demean actually having to play the game to obtain gear and armor, but the damage is done. Already high levels have likely obtained enough from packs they might not be overly impacted by their being taken away, but the position this would come newcomers to the game in would be disastrous. And the game's health does require a certain influx of new players which can't be simply put in a position where they won't ever be able to afford what is now considered average gear, much less compete with the elite.

Packs are not the issue per se, the demeaning of in game work and effort is. The balance towards cash shopping as oposed to actually playing has shifted dramatically and this is the situation that's in dire need of adjustment. Packs are merely the most conspicuous of contributing factors. What we need is a new tier of gear and weapons the average player can actually aspire to, and that can only be gotten through in game means, preferably through new content. Rank IX is nothing but a pipe dream for heavy CSers...

Unfortunatley is the mid to long term scenario that's troubling, as PW may be well entitled to provide advantages to those spending irl cash, but needs to also be concerned about providing an enviroment in which you would want such advantages, which is precisely what's being eroded. Already there are instances and content meant for the high leveled ubergeared elite, what about the rest of us? It's already less than 200 people on my server that can take advantage of events such as celestial tigers... Do you want a game that's only geared for 200 people on each server? Oh, but i forget, what the elite wants now it's server merges...

My best guess is they give us...wait for it


Forsaken World a prieview


More likely another patch that causes more rubberbanding and maybe some charms on HH mobs/bosses while they're at it. I don't think HH is hard enough yet

I really hope this PWI 2nd anniversary update give us something good and fix some of the bugs everyone always talk about. PWI used to be a great game and I still believe that it can be done again.

27 said yes, 10 said no.

I guess 37 votes these days represent entire communities. Especially when only a minor %age even come on the forums. b:surrender

Why do people even take statistic classes when you only need to analyze 37 votes out of a few thousand to understand what people truly want.

Maybe...

New Flights:

• Violet Shimmering
• Nocturnal Malefic
• Crimson Sunset
• Silver Constellation

New Mount:

• Iceplume Sparrow

New Fashion:

• Sapphiere Set (male/female)

Awesome, free mount, extra exp and a bless box which is actually balanced in PvP. No complaints from me.

Lol, only useful for barbs, clerics, and maybe BMs. There are a ton of people out there that still have Jones Blessings, and it still is up.

Edit: However, if they get rid of all Jones Blessings in people's mailboxes, then it is THE BEST patch PWE's done so far in front of my eyes.

Edit2: Oh never mind, it's only for 90 days D;

NO 2x drops! And edited removed join dates! Get this it says last time i visited the forums was 12-31-1969. wowow i get all the good stuff then! yipppeeeee!
