b:thanks

Basically, our feedback means something as long as it doesn't contradict PWI's economic agenda. If you've read the feedback on the most recent +11/+12 D.Orb sale, you'll know a good 70-80% of the posts are negative. But who's stupid enough to remove D.Orbs when they're bringing in $$$ right? Of course, let's have 1* on sale first and then discount the +11/+12's further after a week. Ah... good old price differentiation. I'll at least give your business team credit for figuring out creative ways to optimally monetize your user base.

i demand a new pvp arena ! b:avoid

annoyed? I'm amused. And don't think its so much me taking opportunities as it is you giving them when you are radiating that air of Im-better-than-you and writing posts that are 9/10ths just personal attacks. I'm inclined to react when I see that kind of thing. And once again, you look hypocritical.

EDIT: and reading more responses It's clear to me that many noobs are self centered. Do you think that I want our only 24 hour pvp instance in this game open so I can sit in SP and 1-2 shot you all? I couldn't care less about pking noobs. Quit being so pretentious.

It's not that I'm better than you, it's that you're wrong. When you feel that you have rights that others do not, when you feel that others don't matter, when you act as if everyone should bow to your wishes without regard for theirs, you're wrong.

Ready to stop QQing now? Is there any chance, any at all, that you can move on now and do something constructive?

Thank you. I am still unable to fathom why anyone would think it was ok in the first place to force players who chose a PVE server into PVP everytime they enter SP... but then common sense isn't that common sometimes...

Just another glitch day in PWI. Im so glad i dont do my Job this way i would never have one if i did lmao

Aw, no more pk fun with no chance of dropping gear.

Back to standing in arch all day for me. b:surrender

I hope you guys decide to put something like that some place else. I really enjoyed playing in SP. It was soooo much fun.

You are free to duel to your heart's content without fear of dropping gear (you guys were doing that anyway just ouside of orchid temple). I will soon be free to find squads again and do BH 29 without getting killed by pk'ers camping the secret passage. The game dev's gave you guys a treat and it was abused severly by picking on players who didn't stand a chance. I do hope you get your PK area, but the secret passage wasn't the right place.

To those who are still camping out there killing low level players... COWARDS! Why don't you come in there with a player my level and try that. Lets see how far you get. From the LOL I constantly got on my death, it's my turn. The SP is getting changed back to no PK, LOL. Guess who got the last laugh?

Now they're hero's for fixing their own mistake? >.> most of you ppl are sheep, no doubt.

PWI/PWE SHOULD god forbid, actually read the suggestion section & put any changes to votes before implementing.

Most of the users here are young to experienced adults. ppl in that category are creatures of habit & don't like too much change all at once.

Hey all,


Due to the extremely negative feedback about the recent change to Secret Passage, the developers have agreed to revert it to its original state - the way that it was before the change.

From what I understand, the change is about to be implemented on the Chinese servers, and it will soon take place over here as well.


Thank you for all of your feedback on the matter



Update: Just wanted to be up front with you all and set a realistic expectation-

The way that we get content from China is that, instead of giving us one new thing every week or two, they wait a few weeks and then give us a bigger patch with multiple things. Doing it this way makes it easier to test and ensures a more stable client for us.

For this reason, the reversion to Secret Passage will come to us as part of one of these "content-bundles". What this means is that we will not be receiving it next week, and probably not the following week either. The patch with the reversion should be in our version in 3-4 weeks, along with some other cool new content.

So yeah, I'm sorry it has to take this long, but just know that it's on its way, and will be here within the above time-frame.


Also, some of you have asked whether we will now start punishing players for PKing in SP. The answer is that PK will still be allowed in there until it is actually changed with the patch. Remember, the change was made intentionally, so it's not like people are exploiting a bug here.


Thanks all, and let me know if you have any further questions.

I definitely agree that SP should go back to its normal state. For lower lvls it makes it hard when a lvl 90 or even 100 is killing someone the second they get in there. Low lvl locations should not have that option for pk. In fact that is what the PK button is for, it should not force one that is not in PK mode to automatically go into PK mode and die from it.

Thanks for taking the time to be upfront about the amount of time it may take to rectify the content error. The delay may not be welcome, but such things do take time, and that's understandable if not desirable.

However, I guess I'm not so understanding about the lack of statement about the harassment our lower level players are experiencing. I'm sure you MEANT to say that PK will still be allowed for the time being, while HARASSMENT and continued GRIEFING are not acceptable nor allowed under the ToS. Please be sure to add that, and perhaps make a statement about it on the login splash screen as well, so there will be no confusion in this regard.

I recognize that the number of tickets filed may well overwhelm your ticketing system. The very fact that we fear this is evidence enough that the situation is indeed dire and out of control, and reason enough to make clear to the bullies that what they're doing is not okay.

Thanks Frankie for continuing to stay on top of this evolving situation. I've gotta say, I have renewed faith, these past couple of days...

Thank you so much b:laugh
