    I disagree that TW time change is a negative thing. Something, ANYTHING, needs to be done to switch up TW. Clearly, the stronger towers is not helping. So what if people can't make it to TW during Monday at 2pm PST? Thats the POINT....to make factions vulnerable.

    Which means we may see some EU factions pop up on the map. How cool would that be?

    dont know where to list that but, think could have been good to relace the current R9 3rd cast look with the one from china that wasnt released, the look would fit more with the expansion in my opinion

    also, dragon orbs cant be made in the nation wars forges (and its possible in china)

    You can still dual client, but you have to open your Perfect World program file, go to element, and click on elementclient.

    This game become more and more level 100+ oriented.
    All changes what had been done after Age of Spirits expansion do it even worse for my Wizard.

    Territory Wars have been moved to Saturday, Sunday and Monday time slots. The order of battles scheduled are as follows: Sat 8pm, Sat 2pm, Sun 2pm, Sat 8am, Mon 2pm. Bidding Time remains unchanged.
    - Each Territory War time bracket now accomodates up to 11 scheduled fights.

    translated: u will have tw at different hours/days than sat 8pm ONLY if u have more than 11 battles....if not all tw's shall be at 8pm sat or next sat 2pm

    am i wrong?

    I tried this... doesn't work for me.

    @BearLee
    Are you referring to altering the elementclient.exe? I forgot how to do that... haven't done it in years...

    Dunno if it's related, but i also my patcher cant seem to connect to the internet for the latest update news...

    o_o Wait, what in the world have you all been doing if you haven't been dual-clienting with the elementclient shortcut? xD
    Nahktuul I'm not even going to bother quoting you, but I laughed. And facedesked. And just lol.... it was bad.
    D'aw I still think it would have been better if the tw times weren't changed and the 20vs20 thing was at the same time as them, so that the non tw-faction people would have a chance at doing them without tw geared people dominating them completely, too. Or at least a bracket where some are outside of tw times and some during so the people who participate would vary more. Than euh... moving tw o_O

    Eum things to do with the expansion...
    The barb's true forme apparentily says something about stunning for 2 seconds now instead of cooling down after 2 seconds (made fun of that already though xD)
    Lucky Scarab level ten's stun increase to 3 seconds was left un-updated and stuns for 2 seconds still.
    Swimming mastery wasn't fixed
    http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1520071 DQDQDQ. I remember farming for two weeks straight(at least) on my veno at level 84 to get my skills updated, and apparentily, that wouldn't be something I'd be able to do anymore p-p
    http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=1519821 Nirvy mats from supply tokens; this thread deserves some sort of answer soon.
    I never got this before the update (ever ever), but quests to teleport into locations such as morai, or the meditation realm take like thirty seconds to finish teleporting now; it was like this when I got on immediatily after I patched, when the server was mainily empty, and only worse with a fuller server.


    But I'm very happy about feral being a both forme skill now, and the skill damage increases for all the skills that got them, 'specially the DoT against stupid mobs like wizzard slaves xD

    Seriously Saturday Sunday Monday tw time?
    Come one pwi. you killed one of my best reasons, which kept me playing this game. Whole week i was wating for tw time to have a 4 hrs fun ( sometimes less), and now you guys changed it with a 25 min s v s.
    My faction and all big factions, need active peoples, who can attend tw ( not s v s ). Beside that, our server is a US server friday and saturday ( sometimes sunday), is our free days, when we can attend tw, but now after update we have to be online at late of night, when we have school/ work at morning ( europe users, who playing in Us server).
    2 days of our tw is off for s v s. And we have to wish and hope to be enough lucky and have a tw at Saturday.
    (Pwi Please Dont make it hard for us to keep playing this Game) b:cry b:cry
    Opinion: why not set territory war at firday, saturday, sunday ( just like befor), but server vs server can be 2-3 hour befor Territory war.
    Please pay more attention to members and their time zone problems
    b:bye b:bye

    And that is the right way actually...Today I lvl101ed my 15th alt...Til that level, the game itself is motivating enough...but what do u do after reaching level 100? Leveling and thus getting tremendously stronger with each new gear set ends at level 100...u can just farm and get better gears, which u can use to farm better and even more...

    Don't u think it's the most important thing for a MMORPG to deliver good End-Game-Content? I squeezed out every possible bit of "Before-End-Game-Content" and now? I wanna do something, so PWE keep the end-game stuff coming (:

    No offense, but U'll see when u get ur first alt to level 100^^ and even with this expansion there's still way too less things to do..>.<
    [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

    Got at least one alt of any class above level 100.
    All decently geared and skilled (: .
    And the most important thing is: They are all fun to play ^.^ .

    Don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but the Mysterious Old Man in south is a good thing. I was super happy when I found out that I don't have to go to RT every day on 4 toons.

    I don't want to level up to high level and be yet one useless character because of absence of proper gear.

    I want to play game instead.

    But repeating kill same mob for drop action is boring for me if it is more than 1 month long.

    A thing to add to neutral:

    There is some combat text that did not get changed over. When a seeker uses QPQ on an Assassin with Tidal Protect active, there's a chance Chinese text will appear over the sin.

    New World quest has been extended from 30 Vol's, to ???

    Not sure how many now as stuck with - Vol 33 - Luxuries.

    No longer able to use green tracker text help, from Available/Repeatable if having difficulty finding the NPC.

    not exactly sure but i think it is 37 volumes, ended after 37 all 3 times i've done it since update. all of the new npc locations are in the tideborn and earthguard area's. if you hover your cursor over the world history item in your quest inventory it will tell you the area the next npc is in, go there and look around a bit and you'll find them. adding their locations to the find quest tab is probably one of the very very very very few things that was overlooked in the update.

    You can now repair your gear inside the faction base (at the Faction Manager)

    This has always bothered me, I'm glad they fixed it

    Also note: you can not repair your gear out in the world at non-crafting NPC's. (i.e. The Jewelcraftsman will not repair gear in the sale window, but the tailor and the blacksmith will.)

    World Quest may have been extended but volume 31 location does not appear in quest log to auto track and when i check volume in inventory says Laid Back old Man in Netherspring Camp maybe interested in this. Prolblem there is no tracking point to him to appear in available quest log. If you goto Netherspring camp and exchange with Laid-back Old Man there is no follow up volume or return to collect reward. So waste lot of time doing a WQ that is screwed up

    What I want to know is what were people doing before that suddenly doesn't work anymore... Did the launcher launch the client twice or something?

    I rarely open up the launcher, don't need it other than for patching.

    Until this update, I just used the normal PWI desktop shortcut to run two clients, but after the update, I got the error: client running - Unable to update.

    Got it to work useing the normal shortcut for launch 1 and a elementclient.exe shortcut for lauch 2 - didn't change any settings in or around the game, just auto updated it - took some time, but did some other stuff while the patching was runing xD

    Ah, so basically there are notifications now of if we avoid status effects now. That's great in the sense where you'll know if your status effect didn't hit, so you can plan accordingly.

    Not really. Keep looking at your quest items for the next volumes and their locations. Did it successfully on multiple characters at various levels with no issues.



    Ah, the age of auto-everything sure has spoiled so many of the newbies. b:chuckle

    What kossy said b:chuckle . Though I was not playing when autopath did not exist, I understand how spoiled the feature made new players. But then again such a feature is expected in a MMO like so.

    For WQ, the location and coordinates for the NPCs to go to can be found here.
