Tokens, BH100, grim gamble event, quiz event, cube...

And o.o Someone was even wasting their DQ points on this overpriced stuff there? b:surrender It's cheaper to buy this stuff ingame ._.

I'm level 90, not 100. quiz event I didn't even see going on (not on every day) grim gamble, well... that's doable, but it's rare. cube req cash and charms, I have neither.

while it may be cheaper ingame, I used it as a means of getting dice tickets and other things I was in need of

Kinda contradicting yourself o.o

I still think there's enough ways to get chips ingame b:surrender
Hell, I got so many I make mats or something for friends as long as they give me the money fee. lol

I tend to make tickets out of chips, and last time I burned about 50 crab meat on cube, and that was a good day, before that I burned 40 and was in room 1 (not #1, but first throw)..

We'll see if we can get them back in at some point in the future, but for now I'm afraid they'll have to be removed.

Thanks for warning us in advance this time.

The good news is that the DQ shop will be updated again next month with at least one new item, and it's a good one.

Another useless mount or pet?

Comon, just scrap the whole DQ points system and put back the sell value of DQ items as it was before.

You removed practically everything that had some usefulness from the list of items now.

I actually like this, A LOT. To me rep should have never been in boutique. Reputation in game, should have always been something that wa smeant to be "earned" by good deeds. Helping on fb's, gathering darkness stamps, trading in warsong emblems and such. (Read : Not purchasable, by money earned in real life either)

I am excited on this "new content involving gear", and wish to have more news on that soon.

Actually it looks like they are only removing 1 way to get them in game without real money. They said nothing about the mass sales in the boutique.

I miss the days when the high lvl players helped the lower lvl people rather than harass them as well. I remember when all the top guilds used to have chat rooms to help people with their FBs..... Now the high lvl people all have gear purchased with real life money

Interesting that you say that. I was speaking with a Chinese player and a Philippines player from the PWIC tournament, and they were telling me that on their servers they aren't even able to turn on hypers inside frost. The Philippines player sent me a screenshot showing that you can't. Wouldn't it be interesting if they made it so you couldn't hyper frost here too? No more Goon Glitch, people would actually have to level outside of instances.. MADNESS b:shockedb:shocked

That would be epic. I sort of hope we see that in the future, although that would probably cause too much ragequitting.

As to this change, like stated by many previously I can't imagine the time it would take to DQ Point your way to rank, so it doesn't even effect 3/4 of the game population. Although taking chips out is a bit sad; they are used for things besides rank. I know people that get chips to make dice tickets, and once on a piece of TT99 gear I was like 30 chips short so I just used points. I would say people used them for these reasons far more than they did for rank, given the cost in points and amount needed for rank.

Just don't take away my random dyes and event gold and I am happy.

Edit: and please don't add another stupid mount or all-class pet. Nobody wants those. Give us something useful like pet food needed for quests (or cages), crab meat/yuanxiao, genie exp cubes... there are many useful things out there we would love to grind for. Maybe you should post a thread asking us what small thing we would like to see - I guarantee it won't be an ugly mount or baby pet.

chips for a summer's token, bleh.. change the req for it..

They cant stop the general summer's sales or change the way you get the rank 9 gear because that will make so many people quit.

Earthguards didnt get their rank 9 gear yet and so many have been saving to get it.
A lot of the other classes as well have been getting their rank 9 gear little by little and are saving to get the rest.

Also the new players wont have any chance against the others if they cant get them, and dont tell me they can get them in game because it would take years for a whole guild to farm enough chips in game just for one rank 9 set.

People who talk about getting rank 9 gear by farming chips in game are mostly people who got their full rank 9 sets already from the general summer's sales and dont care if the others end up struggling for years just to get one part of the rank 9 set.


Bring back the general summer's sales b:shutup

I'm really dissapointed...it's hard already to get any rank with one-man-army or by the things dropped in bhs...
I have a sin and it's quite annoying to kill 60 mobs...since i can't buy gold and since PWI decided to low the prices of dq items,i use to die a lot trying to finish these quest because i can't afford pots...repairs are also expensive and i need to get stuffs to in order to advance in the game...
Worst of all i just get 3 rep for 60 mobs each time and it takes me aprox. 1 hour and i'm a sin <.< it should be faster.

If you want to join to a Nirvana squad you have to be 4-5aps...which is really hard to get...and if you want to try delta some people ask you to have rank stuff in order to survive...and bh...pfff...there's no way you can get squads since everyone prefer to FC or to power lvl their charas...at this point it's imposible to avoid spending real money or dq points in rewards...i really like this game but it's turning a pain...i mean it doesn't depend on the way you play the game nor your skills but in the money you spend on it and the faster you get coins...

DQ rewards are a good way to help people to get their stuff but if they're taking everything out...that's just too bad.-

The devs' reasoning in this matter is that they are working on some new content involving gear, and they want to eliminate certain methods for obtaining Rank stuff, at least temporarily.


Thanks all, and I'm sorry about this inconvenience.

A bogey-green Horse,for just 300k DP, this time? b:surprised

You mean the methods which need some work, instead of Cash? b:surprised

Maybe its getting time for a new achievement:

"Rich Kid" for getting Rank IX b:avoid

Nope, its ended with a low-Level Massacre in the Secret Passage

Frankie, i wanna let you know that i will keep this sentence, just to LOL so hard on your (not yours, but PWEs) lies when you put another reputation sale.

I mean... really? lol...

Oh, and if you want to take off rank stuff, why don't you take badges off from tokens as well?

Now the only good way to get rep will be buying gold, let it be tokens or the next rep sale that i'm sure will come.... such a shame

The damage is already done, and it's not the 1st time they change the rules.

remember the mirage decomposition price raised for farming gold. Then they gave mirage from TW... Just yesterday I made 4 run in 3x HH and got 90 mirage...

Then remember the HH modification before R8 and R9 came in the game.

Also Remember how Useless HH99 has become when NV came.

What about Luna gear, are you one of the player that spend a year farming Lunar to finally find out it's now useless.

Here is the final way to **** this game for good.

Sell Level card in boutique, so player can pay 1k to get from lv 1 to lv 105 in 1 click. Add an other pack for 2k for full rank 9 gear whit 0.05% chance to get 6 +12 stone....

I see no point in playing this game now. High level player have no goal. Low level player get screwed more and more.

Why don't you just make all this stuff free / farmable and charge 15$ a month instead.

Any way it's to late now, people have been angry for a long time and you did nothing. Now the game is all upside down and player are gonna pay for it. All because Dev can't put there pants on.

I mean who gives a dam about other country server. Our server work differently so be it.

It's to late to go back, leave it like it is. Improve on it, and learn form your mistake.

Lol, maybe the "New Gear" is the EG R9.

Maybe they should just give everyone GM gear who want to pay $3000 to the boutique. That will solve our R9 issue. b:surrender

I did like the chips in the boutique though. I liked getting molds cheap for my alts til they could wear really nice gear.

If this will be something like ☆Ring of the Naga from achievements rewards or TT 80 armor, I can't see anything interesting in it.


But we will see.

I am ready to DQ shop change:

What's wrong make 200000rep by questing? Nothing just it would took years to get it.
So I would also rather to buy it.

So, like I said, there is nothing 'wrong' with it other then that fact that it takes time and that's just not for everyone.
