Content Update PWI: Reflections

I would just like to know a little more, Frankieraye, if you please b:pleased

How many weeks would it take of TWs for 8 factions to get on the map? Can that be accomplished on the first TWs?

Is anything else in the way TW works changing slightly, or is it truely just an increase to the Crystal & Towers, and number of challenges one faction can receive at a time, and bidding Notes?

Thanks for any additional info. b:thanks

7 tws pretty much means no1 will hold more then 7 lands

so i hear the update is today ? 8th of august ? is it true ? could anyone please confirm ?

I think its a yes, this was posted on PWI Facebook. http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/08/07/pwi-reflections-update-coming-august-8/

Oh look what I found in that page, in the screenshot section... http://www.blogcdn.com/massively.joystiq.com/media/2012/08/pwi02.jpg
Looks like it's gonna be from yet another new pack x_x

I understand the need of making changes once in while, after all, thats what gives, to any game, a refreshing feeling.
However I really don't understand why PWI servers must adopt changes that were meant to attend the CN server's demand when we already hold different mechanics while they don't. And even to cope with the "injustice" a different mechanism will be implemented here and won't be there. So... wouldn't be wiser not to make the change?!

We could discuss what sort of changes we would like to see, some persons have provided some great ideas but, in the end, we must deal with what we have now and what has been scheduled for the future, considering what is necessary or not.
And in my opnion, we had a lot changes with excuses that "CN will change, therefore we must bow and agree with it".
Is clear to me that servers are capable to provide the features they need despite the need of other server.

About the upcoming update itself:
1. This new bidding is stupidity, even with the refund;
2. More simultaneous attacks seems quite reasonable, but 7 might be too much;
3. Making the structures more durable is nice, but increasing its costs along with the expensive biddings, no sense.

Those are my thoughts, peace out everyone!b:cool

This is just gonna kill the economy harder than now, if we havent a real coin drop raise consider the game dead b:surrender

They're encouraging us to provide feedback... wow.

Someone please tell me exactly how fast the gears move on this machine. Most of our feedback seems to be swept under the rug.

isn't that like any corporation? Just saying.

I found some random messages about the 8hr fatigue feature.. its called "Earning Time".

It appears that Earning Time is only used while killing mobs in particular "Earning Control Areas" and not while you are just AFK or whatever. Also there are warnings if you invite someone with low earning time remaining.

This stuff will probably be alright if they bother to enable it.

9660 "This teammate is now in the normal state of earning"
9661 "This teammate has no earning time, he will receive nothing while killing monsters!"
9662 "Normal Area This area will not deduct your earning time. Killing monster in this area will not deduct your earning time, and monster earning will not be reduced. "
9663 "Earning Control Area "
9664 "[Non Benifit]You will earn nothing in this area while killing monsters (including drops, EXP and Spirit)."
9666 "You've spent all your earning time, so you will get nothing while killing monsters in Earning Control Areas."
9667 "%s spent all his earning time, so he will get nothing while killing monsters."
9668 "You are entering an Earning Control Area; killing monsters will cost you earning time."
9669 "This area will deduct your earning time. Killing monsters in this area will deduct your earning time, and monster earning will be reduced. "
9670 "This area will deduct your earning time. Now that your character's earning time is 0, killing monsters in this area will give nothing. "
9671 "You've spent all your earning time, so you will get nothing while killing monsters in this area."
9672 "This teammate has less than 1 hour of earning time remaining."

Hope there's separate earning time counters for each area...

I think Asterelle might have just confirmed for me what I already thought was true. I quit because I got a taste of that game that comes out on the 28th(25th for me). Sadly I could only play it once a month. I got tired of playing solitaire waiting for it, so I came back to PWI just this last week, only to see this.

Perfect World Entertainment can go **** off for all I care. If this is going to be how they want to play it, then I will just quit, this time for good and put up with 17 more days of solitaire. There is no amount of investment that will keep me here after this bull ****.

Sit on it and spin PWE. I will not only not play any and all of your games and not talk about them with my gaming friends, but I will also trash talk your products(if you can call them that) to people who haven't played here before. You are officially blacklisted by me.

This does give me hope that these "earning control areas" refer to places in the world where people would bot, and don't count in say, dungeons. Since few people grind in the world these days this change would hardly effect us >.> Of course if you do like to grind on world mobs for 8+ hours, your d-day has perhaps arrived b:shocked

Again keep in mind that even though this fatigue thing is built into the game doesn't mean it will be enabled in our version. This seems like something it would be very easy to turn on and off.

A feature you can turn on and off is a lot easier to configure than something that had its value changed (like the DQ price nerf).

I like how they made base defend stronger cuz i used to go into tw
and my tower would go down before it was finish building

the 7 tw in one day would also be cool
alliances with other faction may be a very important factor
