Hi there,

I just thought of this (not sure if it is possible or that is even being looked into)

Is it possible to update the graphics of the game, so that the older classes also have nice looking skills, because its kinda sad if you see super sexy mystic skills, seeker skills, psy skills and in some occasion (if the sin actually plays) sin skills.

I would like to see wizards black ice with tideborn ish graphics b:dirty

    It's completely possible, but It's the decision of the developpers to do this. I like your idea, maybe with another expansion they might do something like that. cuz I've read somewhere that developpers don't want to make new races. so they will have to focus on other things, (like graphics?).

    I don't think the dev's know enough about the way the original textures are mapped to make any serious changes.

    What they need to do is completely re-design the game engine from the ground up so it's compatible with newer hardware. I mean really, 2004... the client still doesn't support multi-core CPU's.
    I have heard that there's an update coming to the client for better DirectX support, but that isn't the same.

    As long as they continue to have minimal specs I'll be okay with this. b:shutup

    There is some *mod* around the Internet for PW that increase some toon's textures...not using it nor wanna post any links since its probably forbidden...just saying it doesn't take much to improve game textures if some random people could make up a mod.

    No, Why?
    1:They don't care about PWI
    2:PWI did NOT Made PWI only expansions to it
    3:Even if so it would take few millions lines of code to rewrite and probably would add few thousand new bugs

    Game is just old, and CPU dependable, so no they won't update, sorry.
    Mystic: 99 lvl (Main)
    Psychic: 96 lvl (Alt)
    Assassin: 78 lvl (Retired)
    Cleric: 75 lvl (Retired)

    Big bumpy ride since 2008

    Just so TB could get pretty looking transparencies like their meditate and transparent glass, they broke some hair meshes and removed the fog effect from the game.

    Never happen. It would cost too much money for very little perceived profit.

    I did believe that they were planning an upgrade of the main map for Genesis, but apparently that was just marketing hype.

    PW did state they wanted to lengthen the lifespan of the game, but they won't do it if it affects profits in any way. That's why we have a 6 month TW reset instead of server merges. They're just trying to prolong the agony instead of trying to make the game last longer.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    Those ''mods'' usually just replace PWI skill animations with those of a different game using the same engine (such as Jade Dynasty).

    For example, you could replace Siren's Kiss (the cleric aoe) with this skill, even though the animation time would be way off.
