    Ok im a CSer but its nice to give the people that dont cs or dont have much time to play to farm coin or do nirvy , a chance to obtain raps and cannys for nirvana gear. Im glad they added cannys-raps also cause alot of the non aps players or high ref players that cant do nirvy
    due to people thinking only aps ect players can do it , actually have a chance to become well geared players without having to spend their life on the game or their paychecks to get what they need . The economy was fine even back then when gold was only 80k each lol and charms were 100k each ect . Its just in your heads that if prices drop that the game will stop lol . Well it wont lol . the people that are mad are the 1s that r greedy and now cant make a dime by overpriced raps and cannys lol . Ty PW for actually thinking of the people that could never get into nirvy to obtain what they need for decent gear due to picky players not letting certain geared people in cause of their gear , kinda sad and noone to blame but themselves for this lol . Nirvy can be done easily with tt 99 geared players lol . Especially it gives the younger players thats not too skilled in playing pwi ( age 8+) that do like pwi a chance to get gear also . Ok yeah alot of misspelling on my part lol its 6 am and just wore up for work lol .But anyways ty again for thinking of those that could never get in a nirvy sq or farm enough coin to get nirvy gear . Lol i got my stage 3 stuff , im just happy for others cause im not greedy and i actually think of others than myself .

    in most servers there one or two faction that got the best players in the server and no other faction can have a fun TW against them, in other hand there are so many players with very good gears that are in non TW factions, they love there friends and there faction so they don't wanna leave them just to experience PvP in TW.
    I think, this new update is a great chance for ppl to experience a mass PvP in a fair and fun way, I always liked CTF(Capture The Flag) scenario and looks like it works great in PWI too.b:victory

    Expansion effects on game, another side of the story
    The line is still dropping and so will the profits of running it.

    Now I am pretty sure I get why Frankie left saw this coming a mile away lol
    Sry you are stuck with the mess V4L. good luck.

    One last thought before I shut my mouth.

    It is nice to fly through Dreamweaver without lagging as bad now due to the lower server numbers because living in Australia and using wireless dongle can be a real pain when on a crowded server,
    also DCs seem less frequent since nearly 1 in 3 left.

    See even I can find a positive.
    There are old Warriors, and bold Warriors,
    but there are very few old bold Warriors. b:chuckle

    I liked doing NW last night, eventho I'm no PvPer but i thought I'd try it for debating reasons. What my fac and squad accomplished in 2 hours, scared me for PWI economy even more. Seeing how I, in a losing nation, totally lost and confused on what to do, yet gained a hella lot of tokens. Those tokens equal up to the whole income and alot more than i'd have spamming caster nirvana for a week, and I'm an r9 caster with corona talisman access..meaning I can spam those alot, and fast if I so want to.

    But for how long will this cashcow live and provide high coin income? How long will the demand for these mats be here and sustain the current coin income? (Not very long if this is how much it pumps out every week).
    And what will the high coin income to every person atm who doesnt need the mats, create?
    Pretty simple, as everyones got easy access (for now) to 50-200mil a week, prices on things will rise..and not by a little, I'm talking skyrocket. Gold, gems, tokens (they create the now Oh so needed new immacs, as nirvana was the main flawless market, people will reside to buying them mainly that way or AH in my opinion) everything will be effected. The ones like me, who cannot do NW in our timezone, won't have this heavy coin flow the first weeks, but as so many others participate, they'll be enough to have this impact on the economy. This leaves a huge playerbase out of the new fortune.

    But once this whole demand for mats decline drastically, then where do we get the coin, considering so many will still have token mats to sell but there arnt gonna be enough buyers? Prices on the market are known to stick to the old prices eventho players economy don't fit it, so I see great problems arriving with that. The coin flow will reside to already stated instances, and those are very slow income sources, which once again, only will benefit the hardworking people.

    'Yay, less coin on the market!' Ya, economy will or may eventually stabilize as people won't have any more high n fast coin markets to turn to..but to what price? This removed the endgame goal in gear for many, many people or forced them to PK to gain (and peoples goals remain auto completed). I doubt many will stick around to see this change in economy as it will take a few months to feed the nirvana demand from every person who once wanted it.

    Also, with the update, not only goal wanting acchievers will leave, so will also the ones who enjoyed doing instances, as they're not designed for s3 and warsoul weapons as the norm. That is the main concern I have as of now.

    PWI may have found a way to make economy once again turn into the prizes they used to be, but they also sacreficed the old gameplay with it, and peoples goals and acchievements.

    I know a person who pretty much exclusively merchants Nirvana mats. On RT (at least according to her) sure, you can buy the raps for 400k and relist them for 800k, but no one is actually buying them. Cannies will still sell, though.

    This has alot of longevity. considering the amount of cannies and raptures needed to recast rank 9 your looking at 4-6 months for that. If you consider how many it takes to recast your rings,tome, hat,cape, and or make a warsoul weapon and your looking at having to do nation wars every time for the next year to two years.

    Hopefully soon a market will devlop to buy/sell the seals. This will be the new farming instance....It will replace nirvana and put wizards,psy, and archers on top and regulate sins and bms to the bottom of the food chain.

    even if they stabilize inthe 400-500 range, it will still be worthwhile to do the 99 key quests when 2x is here. After doing bh and getting your mirages/ultimate substances, you may as well still pick up the keys.

    Also considering that a total recast of rank 9 costs like 2700 raps at an average of 75 tokens a weekend is still 36 weekends and pretty mmuch double that for the cannies so 72 weekends just for the recasting of rank 9.

    So Nirvana may be worth running a few times in 2x just to speed it up some. Maybe not the mind numbing 12 hour farming of the past, but maybe an hour or two of it here and there.

    Also consider that the faster the rank 9 is recasted you can get on to recasting the rest of the cool things.

    I know some people who got handed 500+ tokens in 2 hours, that is equal to 2,5k cannies in one night, for one person. We had like 1k participating last night on HT.
    The whole amount of tokens, I forgot the number, but it sure won't be small enough to not feed the market what it needs im sure.

    For 1 piece of s3r9 it demands 1200 cannies and 300 raps, the wep x4 that.
    This will probably not even take close to 4 months when you can do it as often as you can and also rely on others and cheaper prices.

    The tomes...helms, capes..etc, are only speaking to a minority compared to the base gear upgrades. Some of them imo from what I've seen arn't even good enough to consider compared to the S2/S3 ones when you're looking at the coin difference in base material used so a market for seals..Idk about that.

    I doubt PWI got enough players to have a demand lasting past 5 months on a server, but maybe I'm underestimating the online number and amount of active players.

    As for a market of the seals, most can put an alt/main in there and with rather minimal effort or luck, still walk out with a nice reward. So why buy it,when you can earn it yourself just as easily? It takes something demanding in time to create a market imo, or people arn't willing to pay much for whatever they're buying, thus making the market for it, a low income.

    Take into consideration that almost everything cost War Seals (50 event tokens per seal) Id guess there will be an eventual migration of the R9 and others wanting the tomes etc over to the seal. Everyone atm is just "coining up" so your seeing a higher up front influx of canny/raps.

    If i ever want the new tome or anything else of interest , ill have to stop selling canny/rap and invest my event toks into the war seals as will other.

    Just give it some time.

    On a side note, nirvana takes 5 -10mins per run at little to no cost. even at 100/400 that still = profit. Everyone is just stuck on the old price sheets. Im still guessing 250/500+ as a settle in price though.

    Agreed. People repeatedly "quitting" (as they have been doing for all my time in PWI) on the forums need to use the door. Let me get my tokens and you can go find another game.

    mm it dont work like that.

    I know people that actually participated and got 0 tokens, if you think u can just casually walk around and get credits/tokens on your alt while your main rolls .. you may be slightly uniformed or fed the wrong info.

    I brought in alts both friday and sunday to test , both recieved 0. As well as 1 person documenting within another thread that they actually fully participated and recieved 0. I was also PMed by a barb friend on friday who played the full 2 hours and recieved 0 but got 0 kills and was only on losing battles. so ya i guess maybe you were special shrugs b:chuckle
