What Pwi Has Ruined

Phoenix Valley = once-a-day with everyone near the same level

canard defeated

If you go in a group of 6, should go faster than 1 run at lower levels. Seeker+bm did 3 runs a day from 50~80. I am sure 1~4 extra players will speed that up. Plus if you remain in instance, and others open for you, you can still do more runs.

It's just like goons, when people didn't know about it they thought fcc was the best option. People just don't see how fcc+nix valley = better option or just nix valley = better than fcc, due to time issues for some people.

Most people are scared to try it though simply because it is a "new" instance. Just like how few people do AEU for exp.

Thank you for using the word canard, i had to look it up, learnt something new b:victory.

So I am in this game. Its getting monthly updates. I don't have to do fetch and carry quests they kind of just 'happen'. I'm enjoying my personal story. I'm getting XP serious for doing crafting, doing quests that kind of just crop up as they happen, just going out in the world and exploring. Hey I don't have to pay for charms to heal as much anymore. What is that grinding for coin. Just to fashion my alts with hamster wheel gear. Nah we just do that through crafting or dungeons.

Hey I am switching guilds and having fun with my friends and fighting a 2 week long battle of 'territory wars' that just gets reset every 2 week, but there were recent improvements so my 'territory wars' that made it so I could level up. Oh the game always gets updated. Perfect World (Cryptic Studios) are so punctual.

Maybe this is why Skai doesn't really play and upload as much anymore. Props to Skai for sticking with PWI for so long. It is such a great game. b:laugh

Could be anywhere but: Dungeon & Dragons Neverwinter

Its another mmo owned by PWE, maintained by PWE, and will probably have sales by PWE, and you admit to playing it? b:laugh

Enjoy playing it for a year or two, then telling people about how the game is dead. b:victory

Owned by PW? Published... Yes... Owned... No...

The game was first publicly displayed at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2011 (E3), where many details about the game were revealed.[18] Due to Cryptic's acquistition by Perfect World Entertainment, Neverwinter was delayed to 2012.[19] Perfect World also bought the rights to publish the game from Atari, happening in sync with the conclusion of Atari's lawsuit with Wizards of the Coast on the Dungeons & Dragons license.[20] On October 5, 2011, Perfect World announced that Neverwinter had shifted from the co-operative multiplayer game that was announced the previous year into a free-to-play MMORPG. This further delayed the game to late 2012.[1] Perfect World would later again delay Neverwinter into early 2013 to better polish the game.[21]

Here

It is a joint arrangement. They (Cryptic Studios) are developing it.

Also I have a friend who plays RaiderZ and he is very F2P and he hasn't spent anything. Its like anything from PWCN hasn't really been tested against their target audience and marketed well. It is like PWCN is even trying to use their old products to keep the publishing house afloat. Surely this couldn't be the case. b:laugh

I would of thought all good publishers would market test their products before they release them into a new cultural environment. That is a very dangerous thing to do, That is a very dangerous thing to do even in the mid 2000s. b:laugh

Goons yielded orders of magnitude more exp than you can get in PV. You could go back as many times as you had hypers. I know of an instance where someone brought in a level 1 friend and got him up to level 50 on five hypers.

that sounds quite low; my cleric went from 1 to 29 just from following the sin (when he could) boss and mobs; then 3x Heads+ 1x rest bosses were enough to hit 56 o:

PWI was ruined long ago, but at least it is still better than the other poopy games out there even for today.

People who can PK, whatever, means absolutely nothing and no accomplishment
People who have venomancer chars with hercs/nix and says that only those pets are viable are laughable.
People who thinks genies are an important factor for PVE is a joke
People who gets gear beyond G13 is on easy mode if they only do PVE
People who only levels in FC are just something to laugh at
People who relies on warding and slaying levels (Lol) are silly
ETC.

PWI had to follow the other MMOs which went downhill and if they wanted to have people progress to endgame faster, they should have just lowered the HP on the bosses or something like that since it is too long instead of getting gear that is too powerful. Yet, the game is still fun, just need to avoid competition as much as possible .

To some degree I agree with you, though I havent yet installed the game. It does seem on the surface that PWI is milking whatever they can out of the playerbase, and sales have been extended longer now than they have in the past.

I still enjoy the game somewhat, not because of the game (its more broken than a crystal shop open to a bull with mad cow disease hyped up on LSD ), but the people I have befriended. Once the game you mentioned comes out, or I get a beta invite to it and can try it out, PW may become a distant memory. If it too is a failed game, then PW will more than likely still fade away as being a once fun game that became nothing more than the biggest greedfest in MMO history thus far. Until then I will trudged along playing less and less.

I once did love PWI, i actually used to think as it one of the best Free to play MMOs it did have potential. But went down hill. I currently think they game is broken. The new content they release is the same ol same ol. Throw in some dungeons that are out played within weeks. If you look at neverwinter the new game released under PWI it actually has some elements int he game that will never get boring. Once you have R9 whats there left to do? PVP and TW. And the new war thing they have i forget what its called. NOT much play.

It's a very limited comparison. The only strong commonality is accelerated exp.

b:chuckle You're welcome for "canard".

True, but aren't we limited to 10 hypers per day, 20 activations? Provided nothing messes up.

Goons is far more exp than anything else in the game so far. I was pointing out, PV is a good substitute/compliment to fcc for some people.

If they remove the timer from PV, people will start buying and selling PV b:chuckle. Especially those trying to hit 105 b:laugh.

I just wish people used words that you don't hear often generally, it makes reading someones post quite fun.

Idk about you but i believe those reviews.

i loved the game when there was only 3 races


perfect balance


no classes with attack lv


i am sorry but i find the it funy when a psy is complaining about the state of the game when his class is part of the problem.

Its more than just the races you know....
If the three original races were kept but everything else was thrown in, we'd still have R9.3/NV3's attack/defense levels, pack gems and gear, and high-APS would still be a thing (paying for potions/charm instead of using BP, or duoing with a Cleric).

Not much would change.

So...?

DQ rate got nerfed (twice), which is from PWI
FC was turned from a farming instance into an easy exp instance
Nirvana was made for people to be biased with each other
NW was made to kill off nirvana
Packs were implemented instead of updating apothecary
R9 was implemented

Can go on with this... b:shutup

PWE nerfed the DQ, to which you can get daily coins from Jolly Jones for near nothing to little work.

Frost has been the easiest exp instance imo since before hypers.

I know nothing of Nirvana even after 5 years. b:surrender

As I see it, NW is a place where you don't need to worry about dropping anything during pvp and allowing people to play a game like capture the flag at the same time. Plus awards for competition, like real life, slightly.

Are you saying a company that gives free to play access is not allowed to earn cash from those that feel packs and R9 are OP and/or necessary?

R9 isn't necessary to win, it's the skill~.
