Content Update PWI: Reflections

7 tws in a week is just way too much!!! waaaayyyy too much.. u guys should make first FACTIONS TO BA CAPABLE T O INV MORE PEOPLE. think logically... full 200 players/7 tws = 30 per fight... if all 200 can come to tw. THAT IS JUST IMPOSSIBLE!!!

It's not 7 in a week. Its 7 at once, meaning you could have 7 friday evening, 7 saturday afternoon 7 saturday night and 7 sunday night. Or at least that is what that means of 7 at once, now they might need to clerify what the max defends a week is now too.

When will PWI finally come to the conclusion.. THIS IS NOT THE CHINA SERVER!!!!

These changes even with the refund is utter drastic and going to DESTROY game play.
I can see this being the COMPLETE down fall of PWI Internations. And they will just have to STAY in China and not worry about OUR income we bring.

7 Fights at ONCE.. Are you SERIOUS??!!?? Give me a BREAK..

I can't even put into words how DISAPPOINTED that I have been and CONTINUE to be in PWI for a VERY LONG TIME NOW.

:: Shakes Heads :: If these are put into place.. Watch how many people walk away from the game.. Apparetly we have NOT had enough walk away from the game from past changes...


How about allowing FACTIONS to MOVE to different servers.. How about ALLOWING more members in faction with these drastic changes. How about have TW Pay a LOT more out WIN OR LOSE so that people actually are GOING TO WANT TO TW!!

If the changes happen AS IS.. It will DESTROY TW and people wanting to do so..


I have LOST my faith in PWI!

Tbh, I have lost passion for this game.

I played for about 3 years (?) or so, and realized PWE doesn't care about my suggestions. I realized they aren't trying to make a really great game, they'd rather wave shiny things at us telling us to keep playing/grinding/spending. I spent little, compared to many. I believed selling gear in a cash shop was kind of not cool, but didn't mind at first because it didn't affect me much. As a level 98 veno (with a herc, but no rank gear) I often became frustrated with the ingame climate. I grinded a lot, trying to buy all the upgrades for my character... y'know, instance gear, skill books. But then I realized I was spending most of my time grinding... all I was attempting was to get more coin and experience. And I realized it wasn't all that fun.

I played a beta weekend for a game-we-will-not-name-cuz-PWE-will-likely-censor-it-or-some-other-dumb-thing. I have been following news posts and videos of this game for a while, since before I purchased the game. They're main focus is making a game people want to play... because that will get them not only great income but a good reputation. From what I've read they listen to player's ideas and consider them. There seems to be some cause-and-effect. PWE doesn't seem to change anything unless people are SCREAMING at them. I had hope time and time again that updates, patches, and expansions would fix the problems we had and improve the game, but it appears these were just shiny band-aids.

If you know me, don't worry, I'm not abandoning you. A few people know how to contact me and I don't mind helping my friends ingame and hanging out now and then. But as far as this game is concerned I am a casual semi-retired player, with little to no ambition of getting ahead. The "other" game looks like it has a lot of potential and played well in beta, so I will stick it out til the 25th and play that.

that's cause kill/**** anyone close to you. hope you had your fun doing so though.
but i certainly won't miss you..
you could have had a challenge if you would have used your brains...

Questions:

1. Is it still an actual bidding process? I don't see how making everyone bid the same amt, in the same increments can be called bidding. The sheer logic of a bid is to outbid your opponent by as little as possible so as to win the item/TW. Virtually, what we are doing NOW is buying a TW and not having any control over the outcome at all.

2. I am a little confused how you trigger the gank option. Can it also be triggered by 2 or 3 factions bidding on the SAME land or only if they bid on 2 or 3 different lands?
If it's the former, then it's not bidding at all, it's more like buying a tw, and who would gain the land? so that's probably not the way it would work? lol just thinking with my fingers again b:chuckle

3. If it's still 'bidding' then why not allow increment bidding, so we can 'outbid' another bidder by a few thousand coin? I see a LOT of 'missing out on tw' due to ppl bidding the same amount by force.

4. If ganking is the goal, will there be the opportunity to also choose what day the atks will take place? seems logical for a gank

5. Is there a link that has MORE info on the towers, bidding process, refunding process and other info, that I'd like to have, prior to making a bid today?

6. The material states that you will be refunded 90% of your bid whethe you win your TW or not. So IF the bidding is actual bidding, and you lose the bid, do you still get the refund if you have NO TW? Now if the bidding is BUYING, then I see, you will definitely have TW, so that would make the actual TW a purchase, not a bid. So Im thinking that a 10 mil bid will get you a lower tier land, and it will be a random land that the faction you bid on owns, then a 20 mil bid will get you the next level and 30 the next....that's just how I am surmising it to be. If it's not this way, please explain how it will play out.


Thanks so much! I am looking forward to exploring the new content and learning about what is coming in the near future. I applaud your efforts to add content and layers of interest the game.

i used to play pwi more than 6 hrs per day. nowadays i barely play 30min per week.
game was unbalaced with all of those r9's and now with news recasts is even worse. new fash set and morai quests wont make it funner. game turned bored when r9+12 archers and sins like me became kinda invencible in pve and pvp.

i dont think this new changues will make any difference. ppl who spent 30k $ will keep playing and those who ddintt spend anything keep quiting.

cheers

really cause im a r8 archer +5 and i can kill r9 BMs archers and even a few noob sins along with some other classes learn to play your class and you wont have a problem

200 people in a faction, ganked by 7 factions. 200/7=28.57 people per TW providing every member of your faction is on. 28 people defending 1 land is pointless. congrats PWI on killing TW.
There will be no point joining a large faction, that you have worked so hard to get into, because there will be no such thing anymore.

Isn't it better?
I mean small factions having a chance for a land.

Your trolling has become boring and repetitive. You're a pretty funny guy but you're fail in the same way as Levii, Archers Soul or Lingzi. b:pleased

I have to admit I just came out of TW and was a little bit overwhelmed. I have nothing against the new ruls in general, and the idea of making the towers stronger against thoose with R9 and stuff. But I wear R8 on my cleric and wouldn't say I'm low on HP and simply got 1shotted by a tower... Maybe they can be programmed to only make maximal 30% of max-HP damage or something because it's depressing to be a 1hit by a tower that isn't even the spawn tower. How are the smaller ones of our faction around lvl 80 suposed to even have a chance?

New towers are the Jesus.

The update is so badly thought it's just depressing...

You make it possible for 1 faction to be attcked by 7 other factions(most of them smaller of course) but in the same time you increase the dmg output and HP of towers so it makes it imposible to small factions to even get pass the said towers;increase the minimum and maximum bid so that small factions cant actually keep up with the already financed map controling faction...increase the cost of Building towers ends up just killing the desire of small faction to even try and TW..
Not to add the HP/MP charm **** the huge consumption of HP pots and defensive charms...

At first when I saw this I thought wtf you doing pwi. 7 ganks hmm 28.8 people per war is not do able you would have to increase the amount allowed in factions.
Further thinking is no it opens the playing field for smaller factions to enjoy and perhaps also be able to hold some land for more then one week.
There are many high lvl r9 people not in the *big factions* for a reason. The big factions that live only to own the map are usually drama infested factions that alot of people no longer care to be with.
The big TW factions get a better then thou attitude when they are holding down alot of land and treat others like they are garbage ...you can see this kinda stuff after a tw on week-ends in world chat.
You can see it when you apply to that guild .....its like wow only TT gold on, refines less then +10 wtf is perfect shards doing in their gear...no way not in my faction can they come.
They own the map, treat others like ****, why would decent people who worked hard to get what ever gear they are wearing even if its r9 and they cash shopped it they worked somehow to pay for it, why would they want to ever be in a faction that treats others with such distaste.
I am r9 been there done that, I saw many apply to the big faction with high hopes of getting in be denied for gear. It was so bad at one point I felt like screaming to the outside world come apply so we could deny.
Yes bring on the 7 way ganks let the smaller factions have some fun and pride of owning some land on the map.
This way many that want to TW wont leave the factions that helped them along the way to go to the bigger factions just cause they want to TW.
You will now be able to stay in smaller faction that you really do love and people treat you decent and help and wear your name proudly and still TW.
I also saw lots who were in big TW faction only there to have that name over their heads, but never showed up for TW except maybe 1 week-end a month so they could remain in the faction so they could brag hey look I am in ____ I am the best of the best!
