    bzzzz, wrong guess ;)


    how about more unique classes and a *cough* REAL PVP ARENA? u know, the kind that u can go in whenever u want, chillax, and kill ppl without penalty?

    and NO! CUBE OF FAITH DOES NOT COUNT.

    but that aside, im curious if u guys wll continue on this new race each expansion pattern? cuz tbh i love new races in MMOs and hope it can be kept up. brings a ton of diversity to games when more and more races are added.

    To be honest, I think PWI should make a commercial to be played on tv. I noticed myself just wanting to play a new *unmentioned* MMO just from the commercial, and that's where I heard about it even. b:victory



    Btw frankie, awesome song :D

    I had sent frankie a half-thought out proposal for TV advertisement with some noobie numbers, he assured me it was delivered. If they consider it or not, is another thing.

    I love my seeker. Altho, I must admit, I am one of the people who hyper-fc's him. I've done the quest bit 4 times over, Im tired of it. I take the time to play him, and I do some quests with him to get familiar with his skills.

    I have heard that faction base was a total waste of resources. And runecrafting doesnt interest me, because it is so expensive.

    I do hope that the mp consumption will be reduced for seeker/mystic, as well as maybe a revamp for seeker skill icons. They all look...similiar. Its a tad annoying.

    All in all, I give it about 3-4 months before Im tired of PWI again :<

    Theres still some rubberbanding in certain areas that probably needs fixing but over all its alright. At least tellus city doesnt lag that much now since most have moved out of the low lvl areas and into the higher ups. Id like to see the two seeker buffs that need mirages to be used fixed sometime. We use mirages for refining mostly, so using more mirages for buffs is a little screwy. The seeker is really good, and he can hold his own if built right, but the only thing i see that needs fixing is the seeker buffs that uses mirages. Just some observations that i see at this time.

    Rubberbanding is slowly going away. I've noticed it waaaay less lately.

    So they are obviously working on stuff.

    Weelllll... you've been lucky. I've had to relog my mystic multiple times when I didn't think before jumping off a mountain into the water or several times was just running down a mountain (damn that mountainous terrain!) and after several minutes of it not fixing itself and her being unable to fly I had no other choice.

    I personally have noticed it *more* since the expansion. Perhaps just because of the mountainous terrain. Although lately I've had issues with simple mild inclines. x.x

    I have noticed, however, that on one of the opening screens they now warn you to not land on the NPCs' heads. It seems to me they just plan not to fix that one.

    This has happened to me so often it's actually painful. I've also noticed if I fall at a slight angle from >40 elevation off the ground, I'll rubberband until I pull out my wings and drop again. b:sad

    Guild bases are a joke. They were not altered for PWI players and the prices are based on the PWCN economy. Weapons are 1 billion coins, you can get R9 for that. Tomes are 30mil less than a scroll of tome for less than half the stat points. Helms are 8 times the cost of a nirvana helm for the same thing.

    Or maybe they are anticipating massive inflation.

    This is something i dont get ... there are always buuuuut always little people in the game complaining on the site about the game.. but at the same time saying they dont care.. if you didnt care why the hell do you make a thread about it ...

    I have enough lvl 90+ chars including the mystic to say that ive done all the quests and if i wana alt fc so be it..

    I also remember Frank saying a while back our server is ver behind due to the fact that the people who created the game intended it for people who have ALOT of time and money to spend on playing it.. sooo if i have the time and the money to spend on getting to lvl 90 in a week. isnt that what the original makers of the game strived for ?

    So please dont be all like " i dont care " but then put a whole thread up saying the opposite.. its just contridicting urself

    ur just jelous coz u dont know how to play the game to its max potential.. if they didnt want us to lvl they would NOT have made hypers... or fc

    Yea, except the fact that hypers were created to make them more money, and for impatient noobs like you apparently who want instant gratification. It took me a year to get to 100 when the game came out, and it was an accomplishment. I leveled my sin to 100 in a few months, and when I did it was like whatever, bleh who cares

    What makes you think I don't know how to exploit this game and/or you or anybody else to 'get ahead' and rocket through levels? I know everything I need to know to rob people blind by 'buying low and selling high'. I know more than enough about these machines we're using to multi-client 3-4 times on ONE box let alone multi-BOX. I know more of the game glitches and exploits than you'll ever find hypering. I know how to use and abuse your silly self inside OR outside the game. I choose not to.
    The reason I don't take all the shortcuts and act like you is because it ruins the POINT of the GAME.
    I didn't say I don't care about what happens to the game, I said that as 'bad' as things get I can still play HOW and WHEN I choose because I don't care to be LIKE YOU.

    Now take your head out of your **** long enough to LOOK AROUND at the game you're playing (hell, for that matter the real-life one too) does YOUR method of 'gaming' seem like the RIGHT way to do things? Or does it just seem like another shortcut way to get you from Point A (full wallet/lot's of plans/hours of quests/grinding gear mats/work(entertainment anyone?)) to Point B(EMPTY wallet/brain/feeling of accomplishment).

    Now, type some more telling me something else you don't 'get' maybe I can shine a light there for you as well.

    This was a good game, but that was before the excessive greed came in to play. Don't waste your time saying anything about its a business! DDO is actually free to play and easy to obtain things in the cash shop. Items found in the game are better than what you can even get in the cash shop and what is there is dirt cheap. THEY ARE THE SECOND LARGEST PROFITABLE MMO ON THE PLANET OTHER THAN WOW! PWI is dieing, all this game is now is "I've got more money than you so I win"... If this post gets removed or edited then you know its the god damn truth and they are trying to hide it, if they edit or remove it then deep down you still know I'm right. b:shutup

    you know what would excite me? some bug fixes.

    seriously, i'm not even asking for rubberbanding to go away --- i've begun to suspect that that may be due to some sort of network timing issues that's just plain too subtle and complex for your dev team to understand, or address without completely rewriting the network handling parts of both client and server. and it's painfully obvious THAT will never happen.

    just do this: make the entrance corner of cube of fate room #1 be a safe zone again, without breaking any other part of the map in the process. if that isn't a simple fix, i have to wonder how the map and safe zones are even implemented to begin with, and just how incompetent your map designers would have to be. so what reasonable excuse could you possibly have for not fixing it?

    yes. this, exactly, is my experience also.

    my seeker's in the 3x levels, so i've been questing near hidden orchid. last time i rubberbanded? running down from hidden orchid village towards the road and the spider mobs on the other side. yes, i rubberbanded down that little hill. it's bloody stupid, is what it is.

    This is the problem with the game, here we have frankie claming that there will be some *new features* or what ever being added to the game in the near future, but what? some more useless dungeons that will be end game farming only in which only more 5aps players bother to get invited to?

    frankie, just tells the devs to save there time, money and *effort* and not even bother, people already have there rank 9 and nirvana +10/12 gears and we dont need more useless gear to farm for.

    what we --->"NEED"<--- is more fun things to do in this game because currently, still, there isnt bloody anything, not unless you've cash shoped the hell out of the game, no lifed the game, have a **** load of contacts that have helped you insane farm dungeons for gear and thats about it, after playing this game ever since the second week of pw-my OBT, nothing in terms of fun on this game has been added, and thats flameing sad, frankie you claime that you *hear our plea* and send it off to the *higher ups*, but do you really? I've yet to see a single fun thing added into this game, apart from power leveling in FC for exp and a 95% chance of a bad reward from the box at the end.

    Please give us some fun things to do in this game, gear farming, power leveling and some random pk only stays entertaining for so long.

    DDO online? Seriously? That game is so greedy that you have to pay to get into new areas.

    A friend of mine once wrote that the game "Isn't dying, but is on it's deathbed. Doctors COULD save it....but they're demanding an outrageous payment to do so."

    I hope STEVEN, that you idea of 'new content' has something to do with fixing the OP (we ALL know what class THAT is,) fixing BARBARIANS (remember, your original moneymakers?) and maybe possibly...something new to do? I liked the whole Emissary of Light/Shadow/Void thing you've got going on. More please.

    I'm pretty sure all the old classes would like to look as pretty as the Earthguards too. It's EXTREMELY insulting to the BM's and Wizards that their designs look horrible while the EARTHGUARDS look like this:

    http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t227/iLovedj4Life_bucket/ryanrenolds.jpg

    or--> http://i336.photobucket.com/albums/n341/residentnerd/megan%20fox/MF11.png


    In comparison, this is what the HUMANS look like: http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u228/palina-13supercool/_41415104_barbie_dolls_ap_203.jpg

    Speaking of FC's.....


    PUT A GOD FORSAKEN LEVEL CAP ON THEM.

    This "Selling Heads for X amount of coins so we can breed a generation of idiots who can't play their classes and faceroll the keyboards like Assassins" spammity spam spam is almost as bad as...

    "LET IT BE KNOWN THAT HI\/ HAS GOTTEN A MILLION SKILLION Perfect O Token of Best Luck BY DOING A HANDSTAND IN THE MIDDLE OF ARCHOSAUR WHILE PATTING HIS TUMMY AND FARTING THE BULGARIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM!"


    1:) Nobody cares about who gets what anymore. The minute most people get X item, they spam WC and ask who wants to buy the **** they LITERALLY just got. It spams the chat, you can barely strike conversation without that spam, and not to mention...

    IT KILLS TW GUILD CHAT.
    Bottom line being....it's motherfcking annoying.
    Last I remember, nobody whined when Duke Chat was turned off.

    2:) Make people pay more by it taking longer to level...hello? People will pay more for hyperstones if they have to buy more of them if they can't do Alt FC's! [/bribery-since-we-all-know-your-head-is-in-your-wallets]


    Whatever the case may be Steven....you better not be 'mistaken' this time. You're pulling up a terrible track record for accidentally forgetting EXTREMELY IMPORTANT DETAILS.

    (Like accidentally forgetting to mention about the Emissary Quests, the fact that runecrafting is stupidly expensive, the costs for a GB and the fact that if you lose HP it goes splat, and not to mention, that the wonderful new dances we were getting....weren't free.)

    You guys just do not seem to get it yet (shakes head)

    1) nerf assassin stealth
    2) nerf 5 aps
    3) fix rubberbanding
    4) your new pet (guild bases) is pure fail, go to the appropriate thread and see what I mean
    5) The cash shop is overpowered beyond belief - either stop the pack sales OR nerf the pack gear.

    But no you guys actually think "new" content is the solution. Well when you put new paint over a old rust spot the rust is still there.

    frankie while thats excellent news I can't stress strongly enough that the simple fact that someone can take a lvl 1 char to lvl 90 in a week is ruining this game. There is no balance.
