Don't you dare post this on the Cobalt SS forums... You'll either get laughed out of town, or they'll lynch you (they are a mix of rednecks, metrosexuals, normal people, car enthusiasts, and of both genders b:victory, from... All over).

No, SC = Semi-Competition.

The SC moniker was used on street versions of race cars back in the early to mid 60's. The '65-'67 428 Shelby Cobra's were the most famous to be dubbed SC, due to them being race ready off the lot but de-tuned for street use.

i think if you are lvl101 and you have nirvana/rank 8 there is nothing much to do then to set a higher goal..and that means best end game gear, rank 9. since you reached the gamelimit there is nothing wrong to set a new goal. i know some people who managed to get it without real cash and they are proud of it..and to be honest they deserve it.

and no..i dont have rank 9, rank 8 or nirvana and not looking at it even at the moment...but you cant complain about people that want to own their own "ferrari" either if its for show off or usage (especially if they pay it with their own money) - you should care less.

do your own thing and dont look at others, otherwise its jealousy or not to grant someone something (since you are on pve server you shouldnt give a poo what other ppl have as gear anyway).

TheDan - Sanctuary · March 2011

Rank 9 isn't a necessity, but if you've got lots of money to spend then it's a decent add if you don't have anything else to spend on.

I might consider getting it eventually after I absolutely have nothing else to spend on, but luckily I'm going for G15 fists which I consider a higher priority than axes lol.

RoidAbuse - Sanctuary · March 2011

I just want it cuz I can get it. I wanna see how far I can go without spending cash. I'm pretty close to fully equipping my barb. Only missing a few pieces and shards but I'm too cheap to touch my merchanting money.
Not many people on my server believe that you can actually get good gear without using cash. I want to prove people wrong. But then no one believes me when I tell them I didn't spend any money.

Ajani - Harshlands · March 2011

Serious business this thread be.

Sarrafeline - Sanctuary · March 2011

Heh, yeah, I'm doing things one step at a time, multiple times.

Each time my BM or Archer goes up 10 levels, give or take a few, I end up farming, merchanting, or otherwise buying the mats, molds, and subs for a bow, crossbow, and possibly slingshot for my Archer, and a TT Axe, Fist, Sword, and Pole for BM. It doesn't stop there, though, because if there is a better legendary axe or fists, I will acquire those as well if they are not overly expensive, stupid rare, or otherwise hard to get. Then, I look at Dex on my BM, and decide weather or not it's worth it to upgrade her bow.

I enjoy collecting gear, but only as long as something else will use it. The Axes get handed off to my barb, fists either get borrowed by my archer, or I sell them (nothing else uses them that I have). Swords... Well, they go to my Seeker... If I decide to play it. And magic weapons... yeah, I've got those in bulk. I've basically got a faction bank in my invintories. b:chuckle

And... I can't see myself stopping any time soon. I may not ever go R9, nor will I get a Warsoul weapon tomorrow... But... R8, Nirvana, and TT Gold are all possibilities for me at least.

Just... Let's stop bashing on people, some of whom WORKED VERY HARD for it, just because they have the best of the best.

TheDan - Sanctuary · March 2011

I've spent a total of like 200 dollars on the game, been a merchant making loads of cash to get better gear than most cash shoppers lol.

Sarrafeline - Sanctuary · March 2011

Yeah, I typically save up my coin from questing/grinding/BH. Not sure what my total of money spent on PWI is, but it's probably around $200... I've been around since Open Beta, though... most of my money went for flying mounts that I still have. XD

Rank 9 is mostly useless on every PW server. There is no need for it other than to waggle your e-peen and impress everyone... and for PW to rake in money that they otherwise wouldn't have had.

There is no content in the game that requires R9 or even Nirvana gear. It's merely a fashion statement and to one-up other players.

b:bye

No contents need nirvana gear? So how u explain the 5 APS sins that everyone want in Nirvana runs ? (don't blame me, i don't have it too xD)
About R9, a barb friend is working on it , i think it's very good at PvP , but not as good as -int in PvE. All in all a R9 seeker or archer with R9 bow or R9 casters rock even in PvE !

Nirvana can be done with an entire squad in TT90 gear. Takes 30 minutes, top's.

R9 is pure vanity. Simply put.

Fixed it for you.

Rank 9 isn't a goal. Completion of opening enough mysterious chip packs could be considered a goal, but a worthy one? It takes no skill or effort. Just money. I guess to some, spending money is an achievement or a goal. *shrug*

Wow... another idiot from RT.... you guys keep popping out of the woodwork. b:surrender

Sorry to hear you wouldn't be able to farm or complete any instances without Nirvana gear. You must be pretty horrible if that one piece of interval gear makes or breaks you as a player. Learn how to play your class?

OMFG

75% of forums: QQ threads.

This game must sux soooo bad!

L.E.: I read the posts and replies: QQ post - QQreply - QQmoar - QQrepost - QQresponse - QQflame - QQnew idea - QQtroll - QQlover - QQvictim - QQpro - GM QQ - QQtard - QQcluelessnewb - QQofftopic - QQsmartiepants... You name it! All kinds of people post, but all about QQ!

AND YES!!!, THIS IS A QQ POST COMING FROM A QQer! BLENDING IN FTW

Lastest edit: Rank IK is an idea. The idea of Perfect World Beijing getting more money. Those that materialised this idea in game are the victims. CONGRATULATIOINS for paying for the free players, and by all means, spend more and THANK YOU very much! *yellow ftw*

Yes it is. Theres a few non cash players out there who have it, not everyone who goes for Rank 9 needs to cash shop.
The cash shoppers do provide the cash shop items needed for r9, and yea that's how pwe makes money.

Just because of the way r9 is obtained directly by buying off of other people, doesn't mean making enough money to buy all that's needed for r9 doesn't take skill...such as in merching or whatever.

Anyway why are we talking about skill. This is pwi, where u need to restat to regular hits nub to be wanted in squads, and where the best PK class is the best PK class just because it's overpowered, seriously why are you bringing up skill lol

This PVP superiority mentality is laughable at best, as if most of the server isn't hidden away all the time in SZ and instances doing bh and fcc anyway.

While people do hide away, a big difference in PvP between PvP servers and PvE servers is that PvP servers tend to have "social PvP" where PvE servers tend be harsh.

In other words, while you will get killed by randoms on PvP servers, sometimes, mostly people will leave you alone, and everyone that you know there participates in the PvP situations. PvP opportunities also wind up being plentiful enough that most people eventually get bored with easy kills, or just run out of time or resources to be killing people. You can go for hours on a PvP server looking for someone to kill you, and not finding someone (depending on time of day and stuff).

On PvE servers, however, people go into PvP mode when they want to fight other people, and they can turn it off. So the whole social fabric of PvP winds up being different.

I had to oversimplify everything so I could even begin to talk about it, but PvP feels different on PvP servers than on PvE servers.

What're you talking about. When I was on my previous server (pve), the pvp was much more civilized. So much so that it irked me.

It got to the point that I started cracking jokes that the pvp was more like "Would you care to engage in some friendly jousting, milord?" or "I would like to humbly request that I impose my Holy Cryonite Dragon upon your lovely visage."

yes yes

I think 150 of the 200 I spent was during first anni packs. After I saw them coming back every freaking month I didn't feel the "rush" to buy them anymore. I just farmed to get what I needed since they floated around the market for months before they were removed for like a year.

And I have to go back to my original post's point.

There is no content that necessitates R9 gear. If you choose to farm/merch Rank 9 gear, good for you. Yes, that would be a goal, but a goal without a point otherwise I would do it as I already stated. There is nothing in game that necessitates or requires Nirvana or Rank gear, so what's the point of getting it? Keep stroking your e-peen?

I'll say it again since there are so many short term memory loss ADHD Ritalin kiddies on these forums:

Nirvana/Rank 9 gear is not necessary to do anything in-game. Since the concept of it is pointless, a goal to achieve pointlessness is pointless.

I don't think I can state that any more simply.

^-- This

They evolved only the PvP aspect of the game (Not in a good way either, less balance).

The PvE aspect, largest aspect of the game, yes really it is, does not require ANY of the things like nirvana or rank 8 even, so rank 9 itself is just completely useless if you do only PvE, apart from the fact that you won;t need help with anything anymore, sorta.

I myself been on DW server for 2.5 years -ish (1st week it went up) and now have rank 8 +10 bow, and TT99 full set, Wing Trophy cape, Warsoul Helmet, and Heavenrage Boots.

all +5 or better, all, expcept helmet, 4 socket with perfect citrine's. (Chest is +7 with 4 Citrine Gems) and i done all that for about 200$, cause i could not get GS's and Tele's before those horrible packs.

That and running a faction on DW server for the last 2.5+ years, so been busy, and i work 2, so got a life.

Soooo, basically, that is my gear, and i can do every instance, effici

And you have also pointed out, pointlessly, that PvP is pointless!

Then again, spheres are pointless!

From this I have concluded that we have different experiences.

Though, in retrospect, my conclusion should not be surprising.

Hudini - Harshlands · March 2011

its true pve servers pvp was really kind of funny.

_Aubree__ - Dreamweaver · March 2011

r9 became a necessity for me when everyone else (especially archers with +12 r9 bows) started getting it. 14k pdef and 7k hp simply isnt enough. The g16 refines will put my hp at an acceptable lvl for TW.

R9 on a PVE server is USELESS! QQmoar
