Are these blessings finally getting the boot? I been saying they were for a while and someone mentioned to me yesterday, they were. I've been stocking up on them, but in pwiality, it's not really needed with the current amount of att and def on toons. Sometimes I don't even notice I don't have a blessing on.

    Someone said it after I beat them in a duel and they told me they forgot to get a blessing and said they doing away with them. I'm sure it's rumor so this will be shut down soon. But, I was just curious if someone else heard it or if there is a forum posted about it.

    Rumor. They can't shut them down. Blessings are completely essential in the game now. Not having your blessing is like losing about 7 refine levels on your weapon. 30 attack level is ridiculously massive. They'd never get a new player ever again, and those who didn't stock up would probably never PK again.

    Lol... you know that people was able to do stuff without blessing before? With crappy gears.

    In worse case use the teacher's blessing, not as good, but better than nothing.

    I don't know why this **** keeps being passed around on HT, I see it on WC and it's just stupid. It's not being removed, if you look in the Tech Support forums, it's been reported.

    I haven't had any issues getting the blessing. I get one every day, and just got one like 30 seconds ago.



    (but i noticed the emotes aren't working for the forums.)

    yea crappy gears when bosses and mobs were much weaker then now. People also kill bosses with TT90 gear when rank was not in the game but try go now with TT90 gear and see how that is this days b:irritated
    and i forgot when there was no aps on sins, try to go now and do with sins 2.00 aps lol (no rank 9)
    Go and make Full Warsong wood pavilion with crappy gears now.

    They can shut it down if they wish, fortunately free advertising is nice to them for now.

    Also depends on if Facebook screws up too.

    Has happened in the past and ppl have been blessless for weeks, it was truly a sad day in PW, everyone had their heads down and were depressed.

    That's typically because people are clueless about how to play without them.

    Well, really the only class I actually -miss- a blessing on is my sin.
    After a while, after everyone used up the ones they've stocked in their mailbox, we'd go back to using teacher blessings or nothing at all.
    Don't see why they'd stop supplying us with them purposefully though.

    Like a previous poster said. People played this game without them for a long time. With the amount of att and def on the gear available today, it's not really needed, but comes in handy at times. Anything can be done in the game without. It was also posted that people went without them for weeks. I was one of them, and this was before I had R9s3, and still got plenty done in the game. it's all about advertising for PWI.

    The one thing I do wish, is that it would be account stashable. It would be nice to collect them on one toon, and if you go to play on another toon, stash one to them if you want. Other than that I can really do without if need be. Like I had said, sometimes I don't even realise I don't have one on. Other times, I can tell that I'm not killing as fast. It's so funny when people say that they would stop playing the game if they were taken away. That's hilarious. Really, your going to leave becuase they took away something they were giving for free hahahaha. Probably been saying they leaving the game a million times, and they still here. Wait, is the game broken too lol.

    Right, because new players are totally addicted to blessings that they've never even heard of before. o.o

    Thank you.

    I use the blessing as often as anybody, but you can't use them as a crutch. The PVE game is entirely playable without them, and you should never assume that they (or any particular enhancement) will be around forever.

    As far as PVP goes... well. If you wanted to complain about atk/def level balancing, you'd first have to do something about the massive atk/def levels on s3 gears. R9S3 weapons alone provide 60+ attack level, so that's two Jones Blessings at once right there. If anything, the blessings are nice as a minor balancing agent, because at least everyone can get them regardless of gear/money input. But if they were lost for good, it really wouldn't break PVP much more than it's already broken.

    If you ask me, the biggest problem is that there's no direct counterpart to the Jones Blessing. WTB 30 Def Level blessing for my Barb in NW. >_>

    I totally agree. but as far as a counterpart. O'malleys is def +15 & att+15, best of both worlds. It would be cool for them to make a def +30 blessing, but thats dreaming.

    If you can play without blessing how come you take it lol...
    why old player should have blessing and us new characters cant have them because you say so?
    They can fix the bless or delete for all players not just for new ones and for your general information +30 atk lvl helps a lot. If you dont need it talk for yourself and dont take it, i dont give a damn but dont talk for others who wants it

    It helps, but its not necessary. Its easy to acquire and because its useful, people take it, but its not really needed. If someone cant play simply because they don't have one, then that's on them.
