Why we getting these USELESS patches? Frankie said, that patches will come in one big patch. So why we still getting this useless ****? It looks like these patches are made by GM just for some maintenance without real purpose. All maintenance is about renaming mobs.b:angryb:angry

    I find it humorous that it takes 3 years for this company to 'translate' and change mob names.

    How many 'localization' patches have we had in the past 3 years? PWE - the laughing stock of North American gaming companies.

    I found an NPC in Archosaur with a misspelled word in the text it gives, I suggest we have emergency maintenance for this because it may very well cause client crashes.

    I could not agree more, they break their games more than they fix it. Though I can't call it fixing since they always end up breaking something that wasen't broken.

    these are just as bloody stupid as the changing back the name of the Dharma/Kowlin....which Frankie said they would fix, and didnt.

    why bother believing PWE when it says it will fix something...they never will.

    Your Kowlin change was requested and it'll be changed in the future, but hasn't been listed as a super-high priority, so it'll just take a little while.

    Yeah yeah, assume I've played this char every day for the past 3 years and call me incompetent, blah blah blah.

    My point is, you need to stop stereotyping by level, brah. Your subjective opinion is that PWI is crappy. That's fine. Just don't shove it down someone else's throat. Though if you want to continue looking like a 10-year-old that grabbed his parents' computer and started trolling, be my guest.

    A serious question and I hope you go and ask if you don't know this. What are PWI employees allowed to actually change in the game. It seems the localization is something you guys do, but what else? Is EVERYTHING else only allowed to be done by china (and / or needing china's permission)?

    Interestingly, the localization this time was just a roundabout way to deal with the GUI being for Chinese characters and not ours. For example, my quest log on my cleric still wants me to kill the Kashu the Hirudini Myriadept and Fugma the Hexocelot Commander.

    Instead of that, they could've:
    1. Not change the GUI in the first place
    2. Make sure the GUI fits our characters from the start

    But hey, if they did that, then they couldn't excuse themselves for nothing anything at all week after week.

    fundamentally incorrect. "Perfect World Entertainment - California Offices" is the United States Headquarters for the company that is owned and run by the International Offices at Beijing, China. The Company name as a whole however is Perfect World Entertainment regardless of where it is being headquartered on a localized basis.

    So wait, you can change the TEXT lines for a quest .... mob names... but you have to wait for the devs in china to change the line that says Guan Ha or w/e? Seriously?????????? You couldn't have take 2 more minutes to change that line this week with the other 3 mobs that really DIDN"T need that done?

    I mean c'mon.... who looks at the names of THOSE mobs anymore? every bloody person playing (or those killing it for the newbies) knows which one's which.

    On another note.. i thought they fixed that till this was brought up in another thread.... lol I never look at my pet's names on the hotbar..... jsut the icons/faces.

    Btw frankie... you know what you COULD fix on the Hud? If a mob has increased resisistence or whatever boost (or nerf)... it COVERS up the mob's buffs/debuffs and they're really hard to see somethimes >.<

    Are you sure you ran the game via the launcher and not the elementclient.exe?

    As for your assertions, different clients have different UI customizations related to their native language. If you ever check out the German or French game clients, you'd notice subtle changes to accommodate their languages (German in particular).

    @ Traz:

    About your query regarding localisation.

    Obviously this isn't a direct answer from the PWI geezers but I remember coming across this whilst noseying about the Jade Dynasty forums:

    JD The Wanmei Interviews Pt 1
    GT What do you do in Perfect World Beijing?
    Z I translate from Chinese to English for all of Perfect Worlds games, including JD, PWI, BOI, and more. 8 months ago, I was given the opportunity to, in addition to translating, localize my favorite game: Jade Dynasty!
