wasnt that long ago when frankie said there was a new item being added to DQ shop and he said it was a good one. well here we are months later and still nothing. also when they first removed medals from DQ he said there were 2 new items being added. Since then there has only been one and that was the horse. They have removed like 3 times as many items as they have added.

so i ask, when are we finally gonna get some new DQ items, its long past due.

    The two items that were promised to be added after removal of medal and us only getting the horse? The second one didn't get approved by china or something, is what was said back then when asked for a reason.

    And for the new item being added after recent removal of chip/rep? Frankie only said "october" for a good reason. Knowing how it work with some companies, you're only allowed to start raging at november 1st if it didn't get implemented this month.

    1. Canceled in favor of a large, 100 player faction instance for farming mats.
    2. Soon
    3. They fixed rubberbanding off of NPCs. The other type is due to speedhack prevention (you move too quickly, so the server pops you back to where you were a second ago).
    4. They did upgrade the server a few weeks ago.

    He said the item (singular) for the DQ shop would come in the next patch (be added to the game). Then, a week later (approximately), it would be added to the DQ shop.

    right, and didn't say anything about the base expansion in that post, but I swear I saw him say it was coming the the big update that we are still waiting impatiently for.

    I was still partially correct on the DQ item =P

    They need to reupgrade their servers then if it thinks 11m/s on a mount is too fast, even though you can move upto 15m/s max.

    Maybe they should make the GMs rubberband anytime they try to go faster than 11m/s. b:chuckle

    Of course, GMs rarely go in the actual game nowadays. The game is more fun when there are GMs in the game goofing around with the players. It also helps them better connect with their playerbase on issues and honestly on everything in general.

    What the server looks at is change in position from one communication to the next. It takes into account in that calculation the speed which you are supposed to be going (be it running speed or mount speed). If you are going downhill, you fall slightly faster than you would move. This leads to the server bumping you back to where you were before in an effort to slow you down to what your speed would normally be.

    Yes but this is was his second response. FIRST was that new very good item will be added to DQ page very soon. And then after few weeks he said what you post. After player urgency, where is new item. So he lie first time.

    "Soon" is a relative term, even with a "very" tacked onto it. The item has to be re-tooled for the DQ shop, and thus can't just be thrown in as-is. They (PWE) have to wait for the Chinese devs to get around to preparing the item to be put into the DQ shop; thus, they can't know for sure when that patch will come. Apparently his most recent information (what he updated us with) was that it would come in the next big patch.

    So that's why I rubberband back into the traps in TT all the time when I'm far past them ~_~ <is being called ferrari fox with 10.6m/s by friends>

    Recast me thinks..

    Also, why is it only faction? What about people that aren't in a faction that want to get the recast mats? Are they forced to join a faction to get recast mats?

    If this isn't for the recast mats I apologize, but it sure sounds like it. xD
    Sins are Scissors, Psychics are Rocks, and Archers, Venos, Barbs, Wizards, BMs, Mystics, Seekers are Paper ...and Clerics are Mushrooms.

    Paper beats Rock. Scissors beats Paper. Scissors also happens to beat Rock ...until Rock gets 50k+ soulforce at which point Rock becomes an unstoppable killing machine that beats Paper... and would beat Scissors but it can't find Scissors, because Scissors are invisible.
    So Scissors beat Paper and avoids Rock, and that is called BALANCE.

    i am sorry but the "soon" for EG r9 really annoys me, we have been fed that word for over 4 month, i expected by now that we had a different answer, because it really doesent say much than: soon= have no clue when.
    Tho i have to admit i got used to being played around, doesent mean that i like it, but i have come to expect less and less from pwi.

    I posted this in my server so people that aren't aware and don't use forums get to have an update. I get spammed with thank you. And for every thank you i got, there was one or two trolls that were able to spam " oh your late oh you didn't know oh we knew for months" faster than worldchat.

    So people are 50/50 on it, I've found that more people were more interested in factionBASE wars. The farming instance will be more beneficial for those who can't offord rank9 " another farmable alternative that will pave the way for factionBASE wars.

    If this new gear is as good as I've read then full rank9 factions won't be such an overpowering force any longer.

    -I tohught we had new DQ's coming
    -I thought they were going to upgrade the servers equipment (actually i think they DID do that, least according to them... although honestly I myself have never HAD a problem unless it was server wide like those recent DDOS attacks)
    -I thought they were going to fix Delta (or w/e it was that plops u in 1K)
    -I thought they were going to fix rubberbanding (christ i was in 59 last night aggroed a scorp, holy pathed twice to my squad, then RUBERBANDED BACK TO THE SCORP and almost died...... seriously? on flat ground? wtf) Btw they did't fix shet with rubberbanding, they just made u land NEXT to the npc cause they're too dumb to figure it out. I STILL rubberband jumping down hills, landing..... etc etc, it's never been fixed one bit. And no it's not my pc...... unles all THREE are f'ed up. Seriously doubt that since one's brand new.
    -I thought they were going to fix SP in 3-4 weeks
    -I thought they were going to do something to curb the economy going to hell
    -I thought they were going to give us some compensation for nerfing DQ prices a 2nd time (o wait they did.... DQ rewards that alot of people don't even USE cause there's nothing u want [till u get to 50K pts anyway, free charms or w/e from event boutique])
    -I thought they were going to fix some bosses glitching in dungeons and tabs dont' work
    -I thought they were going to...... lol fix the odd line if u zoom in on TB quest wings due to crappy alpha mapping by the DEVS
    -I thought they were going to fix...... idk put the music back in the game so even after a fresh install as of now we still have to VERIFY afterwards to get the damn music?
    -I thought they were going to......... **** i can't thinnk of anything else atm but get the point?

    These people sucks donkey balls at fixing anything
    ROFL b:laughb:laughb:laugh

    EDIT: o ya... FIX THE DAMN INVISIBLE RECTANGLE U IDIOTS SCREWED UP NEXT TO THE MINI MAP. ya know what i mean right? the rectangle of SCREWED UP ALPHA MAPPING again....... christ making things invisible and ... "click-throughable" (alpha mapping) isnt' that damn hard i can do that **** myself..... are u really that incompetent?)...... that was to the devs if they bother reading it...... b:surrender

    Based on what that GM said in previous posts, the item was suppose to be here sometime in October. Adding what Kritty said, this week would have to be the "big patch", since the item apparently comes 1 week later after said patch.

    Only 2 weeks left in October, of course, don't get your hopes high.

    Soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon... i'll find a new game to play.

    I don't see how how giving us huge patches is in any way a good idea. Perhaps it's slightly cheaper or less work for GM's? Really if you want to keep your customers happy do weekly patches consistent with china with a set delay. Dumping every patch on us all at once has got to be the dumbest idea i've ever heard. Interest the customer for the 4 weeks after the patch then have them wait 5 months for the next? I'm sure there's a lot of reasons people say they are quitting, but boredom has got to be #1. Do regular patches so people atleast keep their interest and look forward to playing week after week. This is like marketing 101 in terms of long term game sustainability. Not sure who makes these corporate decisions, if anyone, but they need to be re-educated. Cutting costs have a line you don't cross and semi-annual (large) patches are over that line. Coroporate/investors should be the one's reading this **** not the GM's.
