Step 1: not listening to the player base on their needs/glitches/ideas

Step 2: lower the main income of lvl1-30 players to 1 coin per (DQ
items)

Step 3: further lower the main income up to lvl75 player (up to DQ71 items)

so now that any chance at noobs playing without spending cash = 0....they need to play for a bit and ENJOY the game before spending rl $$...duh

Step 4: kill a main source of endgame income/content via a PK event...allowing the cheaters to win (goon glitchers...bot users), and the only source of FTP content left for endgame=TT

Step 5: no new endgame content...for-ev-or

Talk about a downward spiral!!

Who do the CSers sell to? Each other? NO!!! FTP users...duh! Do you really think TT will hold the game together?

Do the math...no new player base...75% (maybe more) have quit...no FTP users left...CSers start having trouble selling...are you any way related to a major bank with no bail-out?

I've stated a few times before...whoever is in charge of economics and marketing at PWI should be shaved, shot, then sterilized....and I SURELY stand by that.

Thank you so much for your greed, idiocy, **** expression, and killing what was once a great game.

PWI devs=monkeys...end rant b:angry b:angry b:angry

+1 Good Point agreed !

Contemplation Forge on Amulet Carving States requires a lvl 11+ Ring which should be changed made into requires lvl 11+ Necklace.

Here's the proof-

Wont this also drive gold prices down in the market at last though? I mean when everything is basically handed to us now and people cant afford to buy basically anything... basically saying, might be seeing gold for much less soon if no one can buy it @____@

Ok, I have been playing this game since it launched in 2008. Since Tideborn everything has gone downhill, but i still kept playing, i was never the best geared player, but I was ok with it. NOW. NOW, that i work my *** of for 3 WHOLE MONTHS, Griding, Merching for 250 cannies and 150 raps, Perfect Wold decides to take that all away, and say, they're not worth anything. Just like that. Over night.. Are you ****ing serious? This is by far the stupidest thing they have EVER, EVER, i mean EVER done.
Now i loose all my assets, i loose about 200mil in money that I would have had. Just when things were going up hill, i wake up and realized I've been ****ed in the *** again while i was sleeping. If this isn't reversed next maintenance I will quit the game.


All this work of getting my gear for what???
I don't usually EVER get this worked up about a damn game, but this just pisses me off.

I posted this on 3 threads in hope of somebody seeing it and giving a **** about all the money I lost.
It's not spam, since the text is different in all of them, so don't even think about it.

:surrender:

Took you 3 months to make 250 cannies? I made over a thousand in a month.

What's really stupid about Nation wars is that you cannot see the names of people on the opposing side, which yea, works out fine enough in a balanced environment, but the game and gear differences are anything but that, and for a PvP situation, it'd be better to be able to see the names of other players.

guiz, it's so hard to tell apart the people I PVP with and against everyday by their character look and fashion. I mean, I'm blind after all.

I also can't open the T screen.

Faction Signet isn't translated

Binding totems in TW no longer take damage from what I can tell.

I notice in TW that we cannot fly as high as usual people in my faction noticed it too.

Negative:

- Faction Base reward boxes NOT TRADABLE (edit)

The Faction Base boxes have never been tradeable thats not a negative.

They changed it so all the rewards inside are now tradeable though which is better than before:

TW Changes - (I consider this kinda negative though not that big a deal)

1) The maximum flight height is significantly lower
2) Teleport totems can no longer be destroyed.

That suck the ones we already have are still bound, but with the Nations war event anyway it's ''free'' without need to do trials.

I noticed an option to repair gear from faction base npc, i never verified it works but if it does its a nice improvement. NO more running out of the obsolete faction trials too repair.

i've read only to ~page 10 so my apologies if something has been mentioned beyond that.

++
-delta: return to battle menu fixed; now shows only the valid option.

+-
-bladetornado ignores plumeshell. (positive for bm, not so positive for cleric b:chuckle)
-mark of weakness is only affected by mag def / def lvl / Faith (genie skill) / tidal protection.
-the apoth lvl 9 quest someone mentioned is not new, apoth 9 is not available since it requires lvl 150.
-quest item named "qu33r mask"; not that i care but pwi is pretty homophobic (no same sex marriage, no embrace of same gender) and sexist (woman can't carry a man). it censors "qu33r" in chat. but there is an item named "qu33r mask" - i am just asking for some consitency here! b:laugh

--
-only TWO of the FOUR NationWar forges in game atm. (most parts of new r9recast missing e.g.)
-on-screen questlog switches to available quests, when current is "empty". no option to disable that.
-NationWar map ui is missing mini-map names, cant corrdinate properly with others.
-nirvana did not get at least x10 drop increase to compensate the new (and great equalizer) NationsWar.
-new waistband inceptions are not tradeable anymore.
-as mentioned the npc "Ma lin" is missing in dreamweaver.
two other, old quests are still broken:
-quest: The Circle. the required boss is not in game, hence cannot be completed.
-quest Deicide: killing of "drake fling" never gets counted, log stuck at (0/1), hence cannot be completed.
-black voodoo and white voodoo still have same icons.
-formerly account-stashable hypers (and other items) are still not accountstashable (and stuck on useless bank alts).
-r8r/trial mats are not tradeable/stashable.
-many lunar tm gold-medal-rewards stil require lvl 150 and cannot be obtained.
-veno/mystic/seeker attacking/debuffing pets and plants cannot be tab targeted.
-FrostCovered TM still missing.
-supreme robes still not available. (combination of all TM robes)
-accoutn stash still not pw protected.
-oht forge still has no tideborn weapons.
-one cannot fully navigate on login menu. tab works only on "name" and "password" but not on "forcelog" field.

-we got target selections (normal/player/monster), but we still missing buff selections (positive-puff/negative-buff/positive-stsus/negative-status/self). it is barely manageble and often unclear how buffed / debuffed someone is. because bufficon display is limited to 14 on target and 20 on self. during tw one often has way more then that or on bosses in pve.

-the name-display-distance is still way to close. one cannot identify target as friendly or unfriendly in pk/tw/nw(name missing entirely) unless they are close. a red/blue dot over the head would be a nice solution for distant identification, to avoid ugly text spam of name/faction on the screen.

granted, some of those are older then the latest patch. (and there are more, but this is enough for now) but after sending tickets and getting the word by word same canned response i at least can document them on forums.

thank you for this list Krisnda.b:thanks

This new quest tracker is a definite negative for me. First, the switching, as you mentioned - with all of these new quests added, plus some I chose not to do, my screen actually freezes when I finish the tracked quests I have while it tries to load up the available ones. I don't care if you want to make it possible to click to get available ones, but do not make it track automatically just because the current list is empty.

Also, it is extremely difficult to move the new quest tracker. For me at least, I can only move it if I catch it at the perfect spot on the left side near the top. Mostly I just end up running around trying, but I have to move it sometimes because it always appears where my squad bar is.

I also hate, and have since a previous patch, that quests automatically track when you pick them up. I do not need BHs tracked, or every blue and purple divine quest I grab. I would much rather track the quests as I go to do them. I often pick up 5 quests at a time and don't want to do them that day, so I have to stand there untracking to clear my screen (and if I log out too soon I have to untrack them the next day as well).

-nirvana did not get at least x10 drop increase to compensate the new (and great equalizer) NationsWar.

This really should be done. Not everyone PvPs, and not everyone can be online at that time of day for two hours. It's pretty unfair that some people can run an event and make Nirvana gear for little to no cost while the rest of us have lost our way of farming (since nobody will run the PvE instances) and are forced to buy from them.
