Okay, this question has been on my mind for quite some time. Why weren't 40 VS 40 Guild Base wars implemented into the client the day the Genesis expansion was released? I go back to reading some news posts, and honestly I believe the PWI staff believed 40 VS 40 wars would come w/ the expansion. But it wasn't released. Why and when could we plan to see this implemented? Probably never, but I'm just curious on what happened.

Facts stating it was going to come out w/ the Genesis expansion:

1.) Feb. 1st post

Read closely:
Well folks, the time has finally come-- PWI: Genesis now has an official release date!

Excited to use a claymore, summon uber-powerful pets, and gain access to brand new dances? Can't wait to learn a new crafting skill, build up your guild base, [B]and engage in all-new 40 on 40 PVP battles? Well, all of these things will be available in just over a month because...[/B]

2.) Feb. 15th post

Read closely:
Guild Materials are used for upgrading the wings of your base, and they come in five different varieties. By upgrading the different wings of your base, you'll gain access to better items and quests for purchase. [B]Guild Materials can be collected by doing certain Guild Base quests and from the new 40 vs 40 Faction Wars.[/B]

My question is, when could we expect this feature to come out, and why didn't it already?

    The developers completely failed and pretty much half assed the expansions, I for one am not surprised.

    This game will never be fixed in any way, things will just be taken away and things will be added for money.
    Ta-dah.

    *** anyone?

    Any PWE staff member willing to comment on Tremblewith's legitimate question?

    Are guild base wars not implemented yet? Has no guild met the requirements necessary? Will PWI never feature them?

    Any of you at all willing to respond to your player base?

    No idea if this is even remotely close to true, but: perhaps they have been intentionally holding off on the release of faction base wars due to the amount of concern expressed about PvE factions being able to lose part or all of their base from being attacked by bigger factions?

    Now I have to admit, it's more likely there are just issues that didn't get fixed postponing the actual release. But I could see where they might want to hold off hoping smaller factions will invest their money into building a base, before all havoc breaks out :P

    Who knows, just a passing thought really.

    Well, it is better to get the cash invested first and then have it break.
    Bean-counter: Revenue made. (start calculating personal bonus at end of year)
    Player: QQ it broke (sadface etc etc)
    Bean-counter: What? what? You player lost motivation etc... You know whatever.. I made my baseline.

    Next!

    Possible senario? Dunno.
    I speak for myself. My opinions are my own.
    Assuming I speak for others is therefor void.

    Wow that really is sad on PWE's part (maybe dev's part). The most anticipated feature of the expansion was most likely guild bases and the 40v40 war. PvE is kind of a joke when it has a price tag on it. PvP is for the most part the most interesting piece of the game.

    They already had said the wars will be declineable. Meaning smaller factions can decline a larger factions attempt to crush thier base out of spite. So this should not be a concern at all.
    Anyhow, yes we at Dominus have been wondering the same Tremblewith.

    Ummm, no, you're wrong. You're thinking of a faction paying the 5mil or w/e to put another faction on the hostile faction list.

    Meh, the only reason I asked said question is due to a good amount of what was supposed to be released in this expansion, seems to have never happened.

    Radiance is wondering the same thing, and no one know's why we are unable to 40 VS 40. Other than the feature never being implemented into the client. A GM/CM response would be nice on this subject, however we all know the chances of that are extremely slim. I might send a ticket in the near future, in hopes of not getting an automated response; but rather a human-like response explaining this all.

    Yeah, our information was that these new PvP battles would be part of the expansion, but our developers ended up needed more time to implement them. It's still being worked on as we speak, but I don't have an ETA yet; I'll let you know when I do.
