Undocumented changes/bugs/complaints about new update

The Journey of Middle Age quest, when you get to the Tradewind Harbor part, give you a loc, but there is nothing there? Anyone know if this is a bug, or I'm just not looking in the right place?

The loc they give you, 738 760 is wrong, the right loc is 434 769

You can Ask Med, for more info Salari. From what her and I found it seems to be partially implemented. We both were able to take the quest and after the herb gather in DW Port. You get sent to Heaven and White Lotus Village I believe is the area you go to, NE Section of map, and talk to the Apotho there. Problem is the apotho items you need to manufacture, lvl 110 items, to get the skill book aren't possible. So it isn't properly implemented or bugged b:cry

What is this beta test? People who cant update or w\e just leave this game its not worth your time

The quest log change is negative, not positive. I DON"T WANT TO SEE AVAILABLE QUESTS, it takes up too much room on the screen. I only have one or two showing at a time. Most of the changes are useless drivel, like the animated log in. Why do we need that? Simple is usually better.

The DQ prices were dropped a long time ago supposedly because of bot farmers in China, which was not a problem on US servers. It's just PWs way of reducing yet again the coin available to non boutique using players, thus increasing profits yet again. The Tellus event was wonderful, I made several million from that. They give us that then take away some measly coin from DQ drops? What a crock.

About other things, it was said over a year ago, that new DQ rewards items would be added, and additional Rank 8 gear. WHERE IS IT?

I also put in tickets over 2 years ago about the control buttons. Give the option to lock the bars so you can't "lose" your icons, or rotate them while you're in battle, causing death, lol. Also, the ability to turn off the description of skills from popping up while you hover over it. It gets in the way.

BHs for 100+ have been made sort of ridiculous with the previous update. New level 100s had/have great difficulty with Warsong. Lunar has been a joke for a BH since they did that. Why would you want to pay 500K coins just to get a BH done that you get mysterious chips for? The TT 3-1 BH was a little hard, but at least you had a chance for a useful gold drop from the boss. And why the new BH bosses in Abaddon/SoT? Sure, don't need wine now, but not everyone is an uber cash player and you had a chance for books/molds with the old version. I've been playing for over 3 years, have no uber characters, and don't plan on it. I don't have the time/friends/helpful faction to do 200 runs in warsong or nirvana to get all the good gear. Aren't games supposed to be fun?

eediot hit another nail on the head.

I've been playing for 4 years myself. I recently got back on after taking a break for a couple of months, (before the last expansion) because I was so fed up with what PWI China is trying to do. This last patch confirms it. Their goal is to create higher coin costs, across the board, hoping that players will turn to the cash shop. Only one huge problem, those that truly "play for free" rely on coin to purchase gold from the "gold exchange" to purchase cash shop items that others buy then catshop.

PWI is cutting off their own nose to spite their face. DQ drops use to cover 1/2 the cost of gear repair for those using top end gear, now there is nothing to aid this. People say go farm herbs, minerals so crafters will buy, but buy with what coin? PWI is succeeding in killing off the "player based" economy. Not to say, pissing off a whole mess of players, because the cost of skills, cost of skill books, cost to learn this stuff, cost to craft high end gear, cost of cash shop items needed to transfer stats on high end gear, cost of gear repair, cost of items to stay somewhat healthy like crab meat and herb, the cost of tokens, has all increase while PWI decreases drop rates and coin.

I have seen some seasoned players telling new-to-the-serve folks to go to another game, that PWI will only frustrate you unless you have real money and lots of it to invest. To go find a game where you pay a small monthly fee and get everything you need in game to be able to play it.

Every patch that has been added in the last couple of years has been designed to fool investors (share holders) or for those players who have a few thousand dollars to toss into the game. That they get to increase their gear making it close to impossible to compete with them unless you too spend that kind of money or farm mobs for drops and DQ items to NPC for coin in order to buy gold on the exchange. Oh right, no more coin return on DQ items, lower drop rates (when you take a break for a good while you see this is so) higher coin costs for various NPC's services.

I fully understand that they might have to use this type of tactic on their Chinese servers, however, they are killing off their North American and Europe servers. Please, please, please will someone explain to them that out side of China, if you give a little you can gain a lot and LISTEN to the players about the small things as they do add up into one huge mess.

First Seeker's skill becomes ranged attack.
Correct me if I'm wrong, as I remembered it was a close-range skill..

edit: if this is in 1 of the skill rebalanced ignore this post, I haven't seen Seeker's skill rebalance yet.

It it indeed in the skill rebalances.

- Rock Splitting Cleave: Range increased to 17 meters.

It is rather annoying now though. Especially since most tellus mobs have ranged magic, which hurts. Even with the free charms.

Another bug under neutral that's annoying (for people like me )

The general chat box goes back to being above the regular chat box everytime you log out. Usually it stays where you move it, even after you log out, but now it doesn't.

The horn chat that pops up also reverts back to the side no matter how many times i hide it behind the mini map. Its gets to be rather annoying when your trying to click something and then the box pops up right in the way.b:surrender

Sooooo... basically this update has more negatives then positives... even though its an expansion? lol xD

Stomp of the King:

Description update to reflect threat gain.

on this page -- http://www.perfectworld.com/news/?p=746891

Anyone actually see anything new while using this skill and where do I find this description in game? I looked for it but must have overlooked it. I only looked at the skill Stomp of the "BEAST" King though coz I can't find a Stomp of the King skill in my skills menu. Maybe I haven't learned it yet if it's some obscure new moria skill.


EDIT NVM I see the skill in the skill tree.

Why first post wasn't edited yet?, many people(including me pages ago), have already pointed out that Mysterious Old Man is in every city not just Archosaur.

Not sure if this was implemented a while ago, but was helping with fb 19 and the pillar now asks for 80 reputation or close to that in order to activate the quest, I imagine it`s for all tabs now and as higher you go, the higher the rep requirement.

It's always been like that.

This. o_o

So has a mod actually commented on this thread yet? i went back to like page 13 just skimming though and havent seen one. Are they ever going to fix this? Or compensate us in some way? My new cleric (lvl 25) is having a hell of a time making money off drops Compared to what my archer would be making when it was that level (its 42 ish right now). And i have a lot of DQ drops i just dont want to sell until its fixed or something, but i dont have room to save them.... So yeah, is anyone getting anywhere on this issue?

EDIT: woop... meant GM.... ^.^ i dont spend much time on forums as you can tell lol sorry

Edited my post. but yeah other than the one GM acknowledgment, has anyone heard anything about it being fixed or if we have to deal with it? It got pretty GM quiet with all the rage it seems. But then again i just skim through pages.

Does "Completely destroy economy" counts as negative?
