These Are My Issues With This Dying Game. What Are Yours?

People in cat shops does not mean this game has a lot of people here. Just means people are abusing multi-client rule. PWE strategy to make it seem populated I guess. Take a look at WC and see how sometimes it doesn't move for about 15 minutes or how some people are LFS or LFM for about an hour.

Sweet jesus, HT really is dead !! b:shocked

Dreamweaver like all PW servers is but a shadow of what it once was but WC to it's credit is still fairly active.

Technically, the game is far less populated than it used to be (this includes the amount of cat shops, since new multi-clienting rules have taken effect), depending on what servers you look on. This thing happened on the Malaysian servers a year or two back (if I'm remembering right, never actually bothered to remember the date), and they had to eventually merge them because the player base dropped so low. Although the server I play on PWI has a bit more lifeblood than the Malaysian server I saw die, it's still a very low player base compared to what it used to be, and what it used to be on the original game.

I remember back in the days BEFORE people figured out how to multi-client on the Malaysian servers, and how much lag I'd get from just the sheer number of cat shops and players in "Ancient Dragon City"/"Archosaur." People's clients used to crash just from the flood of people on, even with the lowest settings on. But this was at least 3 years ago. I've never had that issue on PWI...ever. Even on max graphics, in the most populous part of town...the streets are remarkably empty compared.

As far as considering this a "dying" game, I think that's fairly significant evidence that yes, there is something wrong going on with the the construction of the gameplay, and/or the service the game provides.

People may not "agree" with the original post, or believe it's just a QQ-Thread, but it's obvious that there is some evidence behind the claim that this game is going nowhere fast.


I'm not even going to touch the class balance issues...but every game has those. Just typically you see developers try to fix those over time.
b:shutup

The More I play and level up the more I see that it's all becoming More and More a Money Sink Hole.

Remember when you bought a game at the STORE and brought it home to play on your computer. The Developers where glad you made that purchaseand supported their efforts.
The cash they made seems like my kids little piggy bank in comparison to today's on-line prices. Play for FREE???? Sure you can but you toon will never survive with drop equipment and you'll have to play hard for a year in order to get a mount of Flyer. The coin drop rate is terrible compared to the rising prices.

I started play just over a year ago and the items have risen in price 25-40% some even more.
ie. cost of a Primevil Stone was about 30 Mil TOPS now 45 Mil, yikes.

You can no longer play uncharmed unless you want to meditate after each kill.

And I could go on..... What is the use play or go away that seems to be the moto.

GMs are not to be found...never seen one, even when I called out in desperation.

I am Seeing more players who are self centered, Kill Stealers, Grab the mold and Port out with out giving it to the Tabber or Winer, PK you when and however they can especially when your not expecting it. Purposely Block you , Harass you and Accuse you. Where do these People come from anyway.

I do not agree with the restrictions on quest levels that was mentioned above. I for instance use that as a STRATEGY. I purposely level myself 1,2,3 levels higher than the mobs I'm fighting. WHY? Because I was sick of struggling to stay alive every time I went to do a quest. After I was leveled high enough I was able to kill mobs 3,4,5 ++ higher than myself, but at the cost of buying charms all the time.

My gripe is that the people governing this game do not see that the little things get fixed.

One of my pet peeves is the Very Badly Designed QUICK LAUNCH BAR
Does anyone really use the double row switchable mechanism? No in combat Im sure. This row would be better served as an extra usable row. If they really wanted to make it better add a button or more that would call up a whole second set of rows. I could easily fill double the space the space that they allow. But then the inventory would have to be doubled as well.... Dream on....

Also, in the heat of a battle have you ever lifted a skill off the bar and found out it was gone just as you were about to defend yourself from being killed....AW to late you DEAD! WTF is that!
There should be a lock button, to lock those skill icons in place.

I've made all these suggestions to Support with no meaningfull changes in sight.... they can develope a whole elaborate new section but can't make simple fixes and adjustments.

HELLO, Does any one really know how to design and configure object program modules????? All the flags are flying but they all were sent to NULL.

Stopped reading here. Why do you still care where this game goes if you quit? Better yet, why complain over trying to fix a "dying game"? Just leave if your unhappy and think that nothing will ever change. At least the people who do complain legitimately have (somewhat) of a decent reason (and haven't quit the game entirely).

cant he care to pw even he leave ? just leave when u r unhappy ? if half PWI players unhappy.. are u gonna tell to leave too ? pwi dont accept complain or sugestion from retire player ? did pwi listen complain from ppl that still play ? are u rilly a mod ?

this mod absolutly better than u...

Valid topic so far, but it's been reposted in another place - OP, please avoid reposting in the future... That could get your topics closed.

who are u again Krisnda ?

I had issues too with the game and I took a break.

Been, what..1 month i'm not on ?

A lot of issues have no real solutions and we can only adapt to them, or move on.

I plan on coming back to play slowly, but I will spend less time on this game then before.

Fact is, it's the whole situation of "I want to be the best, I will rush my way to 100-105. I will charge, buy my gear, buy my skills and will learn to auto-atk. Then I will go show the world that I just care about showing how godly (and unskilled) I am and not care about safety of the squad" that got to me...

Uncle pwi b:cry

2. All to expensive (this game should be called "PerfectMoneyWorld")
3. You depend to much on others (you cant play alone if you want too or friend offline)
4. Potions cost more then missions give rewards (crabs of course that buy with token)
5. Nothing to farm (no coins instance, no drop even if u have what to farm drop is a joke)
6. Gm just care about gold, coins, boutique (never online when u need them)

I have more but no time to write cuz I am at work right now. Those are my issues with game.

No wonder you're clueless.

The only problem is the game is hard. People talk about how they made it to 80 in 3 days. I must have missed that when I played because I remember making it to level 23 and realized leveling was taking too long.

Then I played forsaken world and they let me afk my way to 80. If PWI employed some of the same mechanics as FW. I might try to level out a character.

Its an earlier game so I understand that the design philosohpy is much different from games that were released after PWI. But as a new player, you launch your core client. Download both PWI and FW. And you spend 2 or 3 days in both games and FW feels like a hot chick with very loose standards. And of course, you keep logging back in to FW.

If PWI could reduce its restrictions up a bit. Players might be inclined to explore the game a little more.

FW has very good graphics. Visually, FW's game engine is superior to whatever PWI is currently running on. Although some of PWI's expansions and character models are almost comparable to FW, FW is much more consistent in its visual qualities. The weakness of FW's engine is that it appears to be unable to run a seamless game universe. Most of the world is broken up into separate instances and zones connected only by loading screens.

Content wise, the game is no where near PWI since PWI has been in operation for a much longer period. A lot of concepts would still need to be borrowed from PWI in the long term. But due to its superior visual qualities, when it is finally applied to FW, the result would be something much more appealing.

Although PWI is a much more immersive world, PWI does suffer from a few drawbacks. FW being such a noob friendly game, the experience feels much more inviting.

PWI should change its game philosophy. Allowing players to reach level cap quickly without the use of hypers and friends that can power level them. Since new players wouldnt be familiar with any of these kinds of game mechanics.

I dont think the game is dying since I still log in. I just think its too hard.

You necro'd your own thread

I see you still do those impossible to read walls of text
