Old ****'s Forum?

Zarni - Dreamweaver · November 2011

Yo, mods!

Can you make a sub-forum called "The Good Ol' Days" or something?

Every day I see threads that are simply complaining about the way the game is now, as if grinding on training esos for a million hours and begging random people to let you run their fb19-59 was somehow a golden age of bliss.

There are also many good threads that get derailed by people who believe that anything wrong with the game now comes from hyper-fc/r9/etc. If there was the threat of moving their whining to another sub-forum they might tone it down a bit.

go ahead and flame this post, lol, it's mostly a joke anyway, just trying to say lighten up a bit......
I have my fondness for the old days too, but I don't miss the repetetive quests or grinding after the first couple levels of every ten.
I don't miss spending 2 hours competing for mat spawns to make enough ultimate subs to farm 1/5th of a piece of tt70 gear.
I don't miss every level 4x crying about how they "need jewel and no one will do it!".
I don't miss the "oracle noobs" that can't play their classes, because they've been replaced by the "goon glitchers" that can't play their classes........

I remember when Jewel and Krimson were fking hard, and the huge sense of achievement when we finally got them done. Kinda sad how all these new people won't know that kinda feeling.

Better Yet, start a forum of brown nosers and PWI sock puppets who QQ at any criticism of thier little pet.

How about starting a forum for posers who pay someone else to level them up, and then pose in the forums about how pro they are to have reached 100+.

Flame on, brotha.

I've been quite critical of PWI when they deserve it, and of the little no-skill hyper babies all over the place...... but I also see reality (I took off my poo colored troll glasses, might wanna try it yourself) and the people who cry for the old days apparently forgot a lot of stuff.

This signature shows a good example of hind-blindness:

On Life Support: Team Based Leveling from 1-100
Powerlevel = Skipping Content straight to TW
End Game = Repeating Content & TW
FISH = Worst class design eva
CS = mad wallet skillz
Farming = now a historical curiosity
Gold Price = UP
Drop Rates = DOWN

Reality was more like:

Team based leveling= afk BB/DB/BOA (unless you are barb/bm, then it's run to mobs, run back zhen, repeat) there was also this mystical place called Gamma that was supposed to be good experience but only the cash shoppers could survive it.
Powerlevel= wicked pirates
End game= what's that? I heard they might raise the level cap to 105....... Let's go farm fb89 for skill books!
Fish= equip charm and training eso, see "team based leveling"
CS= "my tt80 gold +10 bow/ phoenix will one shot you noobz"
Farming= "stupid cash shoppers stealing my herbs, I wish I could afford a better mount so I could make the big money...."
Gold Price= 100k gold? who can afford that? it takes me a week of questing to save that much, and I need to buy skills.....
Drop Rates= "they must have nerfed TT drops, I only got 1 broken drum from the 2 hour TT run...."

This thread again....

The old days weren't perfect either. TT drops are stolen far less, because they aren't as valuable. Especially low level TT items. Heck, I've seen several times where the high levels just threw their share to a lowbie who was in squad getting their stuff done, even though they weren't same faction or friends, because they aren't worth much to anyone but the lowbie anyway. You could find squads more easily and make more friends, and I think that's whats putting the rose colored lens on everyone. But yeah, cash shopper still dominated, there was still one way too OP class relatively speaking, and there was still dominant "cash shopping" factions. Actually if you go back to the game's beginning people were already complaining about this kind of thing from the start.

Don't believe me that people thought zen was too expensive when gold was 100k? Here's a thread from the 4th of September, shortly after the cash shop debuted.

http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=41261

People were already reminicising about the good old days of closed beta by the 4th.

http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=38251

People complaining they should be able to sell gold for profit because, 100k is hard to come by. Ya gotta remember back in there weren't any bhs, or anything like that. Wasn't so easy to level. So 100k was actually a LOT of money

http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=45541

I'm sure some people spent gold on skills as well, since some skills cost more than 100k. :P

Faction less people or people squadding with randoms had trouble finding squads by the 12th.

http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=52102

At same time there was already dominant factions with level 60s one shotting lowbies (think them one shotting level 30s) as the highest levels on the servers.

http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=50862&page=2

One particular faction named RQ was particularly dominant. :P

And by the 14th, this game was pay to win. Because of the OP veno.

http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=53941

Seriously, this game has always had it's issues with balance and the cash shop. TTs were hard to come by because most people weren't that level. As more people were able to obtain the items they rose in cost because there was a great demand and at the time a limited amount of people who could supply. The game isn't terrible now. They haven't removed the content you loved. If you stop comparing yourself to others, don't spend money you don't want to spend, and friend like-minded people you'll have fun. I've seen the same complaints since I've started and I've always ignored. Instead of looking at the past with rose tinted glasses because you made more friends when you were less cynical and the servers were more populated, go out there and have fun. All the same stuff is there. This game has changed a lot, but to be honest I think the most damaging and significant change is how grumpy and unhelpful and nostalgic the player base itself has gotten.

The OP may be kinda joking, but I'm also growing tired of seeing grumpy veterans complaining about how everything was better before they added _____ to the game. Maybe they do need their own sub-forum... but then again, they would probably use it to ***** about how much better the forums were before they added new sub-forums.

It's the same **** with every other MMORPG as well. People need to realize that games like this change over time. It's time to pack up and move onto something else when it reaches the point where all you can think about is how awesome the game used to be.

I can't say I'm entirely happy with the game right now, but I'm glad they have added some of the stuff that didn't exist back in the day.

Zarni - Dreamweaver · November 2011

@ above post, of course I am mostly joking, anyone with a sense of irony should see everything I say is a bit sarcastic.

But geez people, did you expect to play the same exact game for years straight? If so, did you expect enough people to hang around and play with you and keep spending money to keep it as pure and holy as it once was?

poorrboy · November 2011

i agree all the way--lol it's called progress

Pressa - Heavens Tear · November 2011

Oh I so freakin agree I've sat here listening and trying to convince people since before the first October that the game isn't dying.......omg you cannot imagine the complaining when the first jonas blessings came out........nor can you imagine the sheer amount of complaining PWI got when they had a npc sell packs in game for 100k..........its all OMG that is so expensive.....or was it 100k it might have been cheaper.........chips.......mirages I can't remember what the alternative to purchasing them with 100k was its been a long time.

But seriously the old days were not that great in fact this game is pretty dam good now........I'm not kissing up I enjoy this game even more with the BH and the rank 9 and the tokens. Look back when we started I had to fight at level 60 to get into a zhen squad it was expensive you needed a charm most of the time if you were a squishy veno puller like me not to mention an eso. You know what you got for that eso? You know what % of exp you got for an hour 10% if you were lucky thats if EVERYTHING went perfect and you all were low level but could handle lots of mobs. That was difficult usually you would get 3% or 5% for each hour you zhened.............THAT was extremely fast leveling **** that oracle **** this preceded it :P
You know people complained about esoterica breaking the game? they said that it gave people exp too fast level 100 should take a year or two to get but people were getting through their 60s in months....................see where I'm going with this? Yes? I hope so I'm not repeating myself.

I have always hated the people who say this game is dying. If this game is dying why are they turning so much profit off it? Why is HT more crowded then ever? Literally every time people say I quit this game is dying its not what it used to be I just like I don't feel any sympathy........none what so ever. I have heard the "state of the game" so many times I could puke because it never says anything any different about the game......they try...they try so hard to feel they are being original in saying their opinion on why the game is dying is different then everyone elses but its not its the same.

I also want to point out some people decided it was actually very crude and mean to "exploit" low levels for their fb rep and exp. Yah that happened ........honestly people just need something to complain about or they I don't know I don't know why they feel they must complain about every little thing.

Here is another example PWE came up with a good x-mas event the first year and then the next year it was expected again..........except it didn't come at the start of the month(not that the first one did) and people were complaining that PW really dropped the ball that they were going to leave because PWE didn't care about them anymore because they weren't getting snowmen something they felt was good last year. Something amazing happened though its like omg the week before x-mas they put the snowman in and ran it to new years...............not because people complained but because that was their plan anyway. At least 5 people I knew at the time quit because they didn't get snowmen I only midly mourned the loss.

b:cute Rant mostly over.

I can't say I'm entirely happy with the game right now, but I'm glad they have added some of the stuff that didn't exist back in the day.

Obviously games die out. Most veterans I see complaining are angry due to the fact the game was beaten by PWE to a degree few f2ps have reached. I want to point out this game was released in January 2006 and was relatively untouched until this version realized how they could simply destroy the game to make some money and then promote a new title once it's milked. Perfect world just happened to be a good enough game in the past to keep enough cash shoppers paying and playing. It's even attracted some new folk who enjoy the ego boost they get in trade for their money.

I don't know why people feel the need to be so vocal about this to the point that a thread like this pops up though. If you actually were a 'veteran' you would understand how PWE runs and wouldn't bother wasting your time trying to bring back the past. I'm still here because I love to see people try and enforce their ideas with the notion they actually played the game when it was good. They usually stop arguing once they realize they have no idea what they are talking about.

You discredit people's recounts of the past with nostalgia. Funny how every proclaimed "veteran" who says the past was just as bad as today seems to lack information from that time to properly argue with me. So how do you compare the past with today when the only people that played back then are wearing rose coloured glasses or are lying?

Well, the population should be a good indication of the game state right? If the game was a disaster from the get go how come the forums were extremely active back then? If the game was still equally as ****ty, what caused the population to drop? Why have the amount of new servers slowed down? Has the game just lost popularity because of it's age? Perfect world was released in January 2006. Why did the game have so much popularity in 2008 when PWI was released and why did it hit abruptly hit a wall in 2010?

The fact is, the game was good back when it was released. There were issues, there is no denying it, but those issues were minor compared to the ones today. The game had the most changes made to it over the past two years and coincidentally the population declined at the same time. The people who are complaining that the game was better are correct. I don't think they should bother complaining as I said above and quite frankly threads which are made just to circlejerk about how good the game used to be suck. At least provide something content worthy... isn't that the point of forums?

Quoting this, I'll come back later since just about every argument you presented isn't sound.

Also, did you really only get 10% an hour zhening at 6x? No wonder you had trouble finding a party (not to mention you are a veno). Do you happen to be pulling numbers out of your *** for the sake of your argument?

No you got 10% if you were really lucky and everyone was on top of their game...........Why do you even care I doubt you ever did zhen if you don't remember the crappy exp it really gave. No all the numbers are approximate though ofc I don't freakin remember the exact numbers I got though there was a time when I was squaded with at 61 or was it 60 that was a iffy level it went pretty fast, I got almost 20% exp with those items that give extra exp bout 4 or 5% extra exp + the eso.

No its like zhening was the thing but they usually wanted a bm and a barb because of the buffs made it easier. I honestly zhenned level 60-66 I started to level more on my own afterwards took me awhile to get to 70 did a few zhen between there.

^^ In case you didn't know Pressa has been around since the first month the game came out back when blessing was the highest level on the server in my guild hehe

No but like where are my arguments not sound? this **** has been repeated since the 79 skills were added to the game.......they said they were game breaking too. Meh honestly I doubt you'd remember such a thing

My Sin is fairly old and lvled slow, as did my cleric (no FC till well into the mid-90's & zero oracles). My Psy about same and Barb not been FC'ed yet. The babies are lvled on shards and quests.

Even the babies are over 2 years old. I log them at lunch and do things old school, even in that I find tremdous fun. Most times I get help for bosses from higher levels, who often are very kind and helpful and did not even know the toon was my alt.

Yes I FC my Sin now.. why not since PW gave me over 1000 Hypers (none tradable) for free during that event. My Veno, Mystic, Sin on same acct.. so I can FC them too I guess.

First hand sources, data on things like server releases and expansions, that kind of thing. I already went back to the oldest page the forum lets you tab back to and this "perfect" game didn't last past the first couple of days. People were complaining about the same things we complain about now. A class that leveled twice as fast as everyone else? Check. Game imbalances? check. Nostalgia? check. One big faction bullying all the little people? check. Impossible to find squads? check. Cash shop too expensive? check. Unbalanced gameplay? check High levels camping and pking lowbies who can't possibly fight back? check and check. People talk about how gold was 100k when the server started, but they were all level one when the server started. Average level a couple weeks later was like 30. How many level 30s you know have 100k without merchanting? What was their to really merchant if the cash shop was mostly cosmetic and people farmed their own herbs? Inflation caused the cost of the game to go up, but it also rose with the income of the players which is just simple economics. It's the same reason a coke isn't 25 cents anymore. All of these problems and the game had not even been out a month yet.

As for expansions

There was one in mid 2009, one in very late 2009 (very close to 2010), one in 2011.

As for servers

Raging Tides 2009
Archosaur 2010
Lothranis 2011
Momaganon 2011

So yeah they are introducing more and more content each year, have opened up a server a year since they started and expanded the game once a year since they started. SO yeah, a game that is expanding so much probably isn't "dying" as you so claim. Why would a company spend that much money on a sinking ship? You can say what you want but the evidence presents the contrary. I too enjoy the game less than i used too. Part of that is mostly remembering the positive. Part of that is the fact that you do any repetitive thing for 2 years you start to feel fatigue and it loses it's luster. Part of it is because many of my former friends have quit. Part of it is because I just don't like certain changes made to the game. So is the game, in my personal opinion, less fun than it used to be? Sure. Does that mean the game is dead? Because a few of my friends quit, because a few of the big guilds have fallen? No, it certainly does not. You'll know the game is dead when they stop updating it, stop patching it, stop opening servers, and people stop spending money on it.

This.

I have never used a hyper on any of my chars and I probably never will. This isn't because I'm trying to stick to old school ways and refuse to change with the times... it is because I play the game for fun and I enjoy questing and grinding. I do BHs as well when I can get squads, so it isn't as hard as when I levelled my main without them. I guess I just don't understand why people feel the need to rush to endgame and then complain about the lack of content when they get there. I like to play the game all the way through.

I think if I did use hypers, and all my chars were in the 1xx range, I would probably have quit the game awhile back.

First Expansion was Dec 08 ( that introduced the past maps, and lvl 100 skills)
and i believe Dreamweaver & Harshlands come out that same month, Sanctuary come out in like Oct 08 i think? only Heavens Tear and Lost City were original when our version went live.
Not Arguing if the game is dying or not just adding to your facts.

I agree with this. Granted I am a newer player, of around four months, but I don't feel a need to use hypers to get to a high level quickly. I am enjoying the quests, and the game as most of the long term players have when they started. But, I don't care if someone wants to use hyperstones, glitches, paying for powerleveling etc. There will always be, in any game, old or new, people that want to reach the endgame as fast as possible in any way they can, be it an in game way to make massive amounts of xp, or finding a game glitch. It's the nature of the MMO world. None are immune. As long as I am having fun playing and not caring how others do it, or what level they are, or how they attained it, then I am happy. I find good people to play the game with, a good faction that helps me with certain quests, or guides me in areas I am lacking the game knowledge in and then my experience is a positive one. I don't drool or get upset because someone is level 105, has the "best" pixellated gear, and floats about it saying how wonderful they are, and better than everyone else...they just get blacklisted.
