You know, the ones that we were told would be released with the earthgaurd expansion?


You know, all the preview stuff talked about how awesome and exciting guild base PvP would become and said that it would be a feature of the expansion?


Well, where is it. People have made threads asking before, only to be ignored. I don't think we've ever gotten a GM response as to where this promised feature has gone.


Well frankie, lets hear it, where are guild base wars.


Will keep thread bumped until a response is given.

    its been 6 months, we've been patient, everyone has max-leveled their base, and aside from a buff pillar, its useless.

    just more half-assed placation from pwi.

    Yep, our developers originally planned for the 40v40 faction battles to be a feature included with the Genesis Expansion, but as of yet this feature has not seen the light of day.

    We'll ask about it again to see if it's still planned.

    It's nice to see a quick response.. despite it being not very promising.

    I doubt this feature will ever come. Ohh well.

    just a nice coin sink

    You mean that nothing will happen.

    And in all honesty what did "our" Devs do that they havent copied from MY version...jack because they couldn't program a fly. And to so that they've done a lot is stupid just look at all the glitches and problems in-game/on forums that they haven't bothered to deal with. In my eyes these Dev's want shot for their shoddiness of a game.

    No, But yes. This means go to my thread of What if PWI gave us what we wanted but we did not like the solution in both actual Logic and reason. which = another solution that can not happen "possibly"b:surrender

    Likely, they bit off more than they could chew. The coding to implement the base wars was probably so buggy that even they couldn't stomach releasing it.




    How about shifting gears and just adding useful features to the base that ARE actually implementable?


    Like:

    Adding a PVP enabled room for intra-faction PVP.

    Adding the Base buff stone to a faction's TW base.

    Adjusting costs so that buying faction items is actually feasible.

    Then can you please get rid of the ability to declare hostilities?

    A certain fake faction on Sanctuary started declaring on other factions the leader hates and it costs money each time for the leader to deny it (3 Million a pop) as well as causes an annoying popup to everyone in the faction.

    What devs?

    PWI doesn't have devs. All our patch content comes directly from developers in Perfect World Beijing (which focuses on PW-CN), who only on very rare occasions implement something special for PWI. PW-MY, on the other hand, is a licensed version of PW, run by Cubizone. They have to buy all patch content from the PW-Beijing company, meaning they're always a few steps behind (by nature).

    For something major like guild base wars, you can expect it to come out in PW-CN months before here. If you're really that interested in following progress/getting updates, stalk the PW-CN (called WanMei2) news page or lurk their forums (BBS). That said, its also worth checking out guild base progress (or lack thereof) for Forsaken World (ShenMo) as they will probably be using the same code base.

    Yes lack of updates from the Malaysian side of things is certainly interesting:

    April 2011 -- This year they only just got the Fish race.

    Start of the 'Rog' or Night Rogue madness.
    They also still don't have platinum charms/hieroglyphs in the cash shop
    Add: City of Aramythia

    October 2011 -- they (Malaysia) got Samsara.

    So of course with whats left of the user base they're all wanting 4.0 and 5.0. They don't know its called APS I suggested that they call it "Attack Rate" or "AR" but because "Attack Level" appears where the Attack Rate description should be. In short they (player base) just gave it a number to cut long stories short.

    I'm not sure if Cubizone buy the modules one at a time but obviously as usual in most asian MMOs I am suspecting the 'English speaking' server gets the worst quality of service. No news on their Chinese servers, wish I could speak it.

    Its amazing the progress let me tell you.

    PW Developer time -- "When its done, If it ever gets fixed, sweeping it under the rug..."
    PW User time -- "Want want want content content content leave leave leave..."

    Then the user base dies off everyone adopts everyone else's characters and then PW can claim 50 Million players. But what is the number of customers. As in genuine single customers who come back and not just log on have a log then log off. b:chuckle

    More than likely they will get the Rank 9 -- anything in August (like clockwork) and life will go on to the Earthguard update. If it even goes on.

    On the bright hand side in the 'Malaysian version' you can buy coin and the economy is generally to say the least politely -- 'buggered' with Lunar / Crescent Valley molds costing upwards of 650,000,000 coin and I _am_ not _ kidding you.

    Not trying to rip on Frankie here as I appreciate him making the effort to give some feedback, but the word "if" frightens me. The 40v40 wars were one of the main selling points of the faction bases, and one of the main reasons many guilds took the time and made the effort to get their base.

    The idea that there's even a possibility that PWI would just turn around and say "Oh nvm" is rather disturbing. Though admittedly not surprising.
