The Chinese team cannot and should not ignore that Western gamers plays games in a different manner than Asian games do. What fits their gaming style doesn't necessarily suits ours, even the policies between the two versions differ.
Frankie has mentioned that our version mirrors theirs, however;
Players are forbidden from editing*.ini files to alter their characters appearance - However it's allowed (and somewhat encouraged) at PWC.
Another example is that account selling is not allowed, but is on PWC.
If their version allows Free PK in SP - our version certainly doesn't have to as the policies above state.
There definitely needs to be a temporary solution until a permanent one is implanted into the game (i.e. a specific, stand alone Free PK instance) - that solution should probably be to not allow Free PK in SP at the time being - even if PWC has made it so it's possible, and allowed over there.
This times a million. There was no good reason for the rule change. PK has always been possible for 30+ on a PvP server and people were using it as a way to harass others and that's why the rule was made on the first place. Just because you can do it on PvE servers too now and the harassment is even made easier because it's drop/shatter free doesn't mean the rule should be reversed. Why even have the rule in the first place if it's only valid when it's not even really all that possible on the majority of the servers? When you couldn't kill blue names on a PvE server (the majority of the servers) you banned PK in there even though the only people who could be killed were the people who switched to PK mode because they were looking for a fight. Now that it's actually possible to kill people who aren't looking for one, it's allowed? What kind of sense does that make? I understand perfectly well there are plenty of people on there having good, clean, legitimate fun and not harassing lowbies in anyway. But creating a hostile environment for new players shouldn't be the official policy, especially since it says they won't be touched until level 30 right IN THE USER INTERFACE.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

At this point, I'm almost tempted to level up a character on each server just to try to run interference for some of the lower levels to be able to quest in Secret Passage.
I refuse to be on the side of encouraging players to not quest and instead use FC to level up. I remember when the game was most fun, and it certainly is not that now. Everyone is too worried about leveling as fast as possible, to get to "endgame" (Level 101, Rank 8/9), so they can then log on for TW and complain about the lack of content.
It has took me almost a year and a half to get to lvl 102. I have enjoyed every single quest that was offered to me. I have done them all (except harpy wraith, cause lets just face it.. its hard). I too have gone into SP to try to help the lowbies get by. I get called a cry baby, a carebear, and a whiner when I ask them to stop and let ppl thru. A lot of them I can't kill. They have all r9 gear refined to +12. I'm rank 8 with a +10 weapon. Not badly geared by any means but I don't stand up to a r9+12. If the people on servers would unite to show the bigger factions we will NOT be pushed around, maybe they'd stop. Maybe we can do what the GM's refuse to do..
I don't get why ppl are in such a rush to get to endgame either.. nothing is left but to be bored.Miugre - Heavens Tear wrote: »+1000
I don't know how long it's gonna take these people to understand this. The content is pre-endgame. You have no excuse for powerleveling past the meat of the game just so you can claim "I'M BORED LOL" and somehow use that as a rationalization for ganking newbies.
It shouldn't be allowed in SP, it shouldn't be allowed in cube, it shouldn't be allowed in any civilized society. Unmitigated jerkdom is shunned, not indulged (at least, not overtly like this).
I have mentioned about the cube before as well, and the GM's don't care about it either. There needs to be 2 different cubes. 1 in which PvP is enabled in ALL the rooms, and 1 where it is not enabled in ANY of them. To tell people they should join a pve server if they don't want to pk, then force them to do it in ANY aspect of the game is wrong. Its not what I have paid for.. yes PAID for. After spending even 1 dollar on this game, I am a paying customer. I paid for a service as it was told to me and then it was switched on me without my consent or an "opt out" option. It still baffles me why Pvp is such a big deal on a PvE server, if they are that hardcore about it; they should be on a PvP server!0 -
At the very least can you assure us the carrier pigeons taking the message to China have safely departed for their long flight over the Pacific.0

So in a nutshell they dont care that lower lvl characters HAVE quests in there that can ONLY be done in there. So where is the fairness in that. If i wanted to PK i would move to a pk server or better yet those who love PK move there for us.Dont punish all because they are bored and have nothing to do but PK now. SO WHY NOT JUST SAY ,,l,, WE DONT CARE ABOUT LOWER LVLS AND THEIR QUESTS.0

So I know it's against forum rules to post alternative games, but how 'bout if I mention sites like Onrpg or MMOhut where people can scope out other games that just happen to be RPG like PW, is that also against the rules?b:chuckle0

Weapon Token quests for T.Born, who cannot use the stone
Dismal Shade (which is also TIMED btw, so yeah having to come back over and over does significantly impact the ability to do it)
Shade Eido
Guardian Demonfires (which autopath you to SP, and lets face it a new player isn't going to know about the small super aggressive ones near Hidden Orchid)
Tree Flute
The Statues
Wheel of Earth
Crimson pendant
While these are located inside the BH29 instance, it requires the instance to be reset several times (a total of 5 times for the cairns guards) one so that they it would cost them 5k the first time 6k the subsequent 4x times just to enter it. That's 29k without even accounting for the pots/repairs. Quite a lot of coin for a low level character (level 40) to come up with for a single quest.

I propose that the current PWE administrator(s) be fired and that ChaoticShelly be hired to replace him/her/them.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Sounds fun and Lost City is pvp so anyone there should expect to get attacked, but the people getting popped on the pve servers is what most people are complaining about. b:bye0 -
I am with FatalFem and all the others that say and or think this wrong. Heavens Tear is a NON-PVP lets leave it this way unless you go into dragon temple or something like this. I have a seeker that looks like will not get those quests done cause of these TOOL BAGS that are bored .0

Any chance we can get an official response to this Frankie?
It's Friday late afternoon. Like someone said earlier, he/she/it is probably making plan for the weekend (ie : playing WoW) and completely don't care about what is written here. This will be a long weekend for the poor players...[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

As said countless times, the issue is not on PvP servers, but in the PvE ones.
In your server people have their heads on their shoulders, in Heaven's tear (no idea on the others), the issue is really getting out of hand thanks to certain people camping there and killing the low leveled players that just want to do quests and mind their own business.
I personally joined PvE because I didn't want to deal with being killed by the random player that cross my path.
And now, thanks to whatever the devs in china had in mind, I am forced to do it to get certain quests done?
My alt is a lvl 43 veno, and I'd like to get Shade Eido done before I hit 50, but considering the situation, I'm afraid I won't find easy help because, probably, a lot of the high level players are fed up with the situation too and avoid the place till things are settled back to normal.0 -

Omg, don't get me started on the horns. And Personally...... The free pk isn't a bad idea, it's just poorly executed. Can anyone here say that they've never poorly executed an idea? Everyone here is human, and to error is human.
Frankly, again, I have not been affected by the SP PK only due to the fact that no one wants to see my guild go ape **** and lag out the area by 200 players entering secret passage and attacking anyone who's in there.... either that, or i've been extrememly lucky. Lolz, not that I enter SP too often with my lv 91 bm.0 -

Yeah we're friends, factionmates, almost neighbors o:,
I'm not saying that this was a good placement at all for a PK thing.
I like running through sp to do bh29 for a nub alt.... and there i go dying on my alt b:cry

This forced pk enabled SP zone..especially on pve servers..is totally wrong. I wont repeat the many reasons why that other guys have already stated over and over..personally it actually upsets me...pvp and pk is an anathema to me..i live and breathe for pve..but knowing that my lv 60 Mystic will likely not have a cat in **** chance of killing Silverfrost really kicks sand in my face. And yea..this affects the future not just now...any future expansions with new classes..whos going to bother making new classes knowing they cant complete their future culti?..this situation needs to be reversed...the vast majority of players feel this way im sure.0

Rubberbanding isn't as game breaking as all the others and the chest of coins i thought sold well for DQpoints, 500 per unless they changed it.0 -

If you haven't already done so please vote on the 2 polls. One is under General Discussion and the other is under the Suggestion Box. It should inform your opinions about how other players feel(trying not to influence the polls by saying what the stats are).b:thanks0 -

Well, If you look at how gold went up. Is how I'm basing fails.
Gold = 80-100k
+Hammers/Chests
Gold = 200k to break even on chests
+Anni packs
Gold = 400k
+moar packs
Gold = 800k
+moar moar packs and rep sale
Gold = 1.2m
+ubernewpacks+anniversary
Gold = 1.7m
I was being sarcastic about rubberbanding.... hence the caps
Andddddd Chests didnt always sell for 500 DQ points.0 -

Lets just keep the PvP enabled plox, its fun.
Lol is that all u gotta say? see some pvpers r so stupid they just say "its fun" with no other reason or explenation that cud explain why is it fun to kill low lvl players trying to come up... se im in Dreamweaver as u can see and it is a PvE server and there is no positive reason that can support why this new SP should stay...
Lol some Pkers dont even think about why might it be a problem with enabling pk in such an area where low lvls and pve players go to complete their quests.. some pvpers think about themselves and that they are high lvl and do not care about those coming up because the dont give a *** anybodyelse but themselves..
wonder if it wud be fun for you to stealth pk you everytime u come into the area without u knowing what hit you.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
