PWI: Rising Call Content Update

PWI: Crimson Imperium Update

Update 10/15/2013:

Since I've elected not to do a thread about Crimson Imperium, I will make a small subsection here instead.

Crimson Imperium was released to PWI on September 19, 2013.
The equivalent patch for PWCN was released on June 26, 2013.

Original:

On April 2nd, a new content update was released for PWCN called "Perfect World 2.0".

This update was released to PWI on June 19th as Perfect World International: Rising Call.

Rising Call is a supplementary content update that adds additional content and updates to the Sirens of War expansion.

Please note:
This thread contains information from both PWI and PWCN.
Please understand that not everything from PWCN comes to PWI.



Rising Call Highlights

Nation Wars update
Instant 80 (pwcn only)
Veno pet system upgrades
Meridian System
Updated SOT and Abba with new weeklies for both

Nation Wars Update

Nation Wars will be receiving an increase in territories, along with new activities to participate in.

Map Size Increases

The map will be receiving a considerable upgrade to the number of territories to conquer. The number of territories increases from 132 to 292.
These numbers were designed with cross-server pvp in mind, the effects of this on our servers will be quite interesting.

The number of players per map will also increase:
tower: 20v20
flag: 30v30 (up from current 20v20)
crystal: 40v40

Additional Changes include:

-3 new exits added to NW when you choose to leave
-Land protection time after NW win reduced to 1 minute

Meridian system

Level Req: 40

6/15- PWE has released a news post on this

To sum it up, the meridians relate to chinese acupuncture and medicine. Think of chakra, but relating more to specific parts on a body as opposed to general areas.


I originally took a bunch of screenshots for this, but this video perfectly captures what the meridian system is like.


The new system is accessed by a new button in the inventory window.

A summary of the system is as follows:

-Starting at level 40, you will be working on conception and governing vessels to try and unlock living gates to gain maximum points.
-Clicking on a vessel brings up the 48 gates. Only 25 of these are the living gates that are required for earning stat increases. It's basically a guessing game.
-In order to attack a gate, you need to perform mystical or holy attacks.
-Mystical Attacks are useable once per day, but logging on 5 days in a row gains you 5 attacks per day (assuming you log in every day). Consumes 1 Mystical Pill.
-Holy Attacks accumulate 50 points per day you log in, up to a maximum of 100 points. Consumes 1 Holy Pill and 1 Mystical Pill.
-The pills are got from dailies (BH, school teacher), special events, and your friend the boutique.

HP, PAtk, MAtk, PDef and MDef adds can be accumulated up to a maximum value, which depends on class:
Class	HP	PAtk	MAtk	PDef	MDef
BM	+1400	+280	0	+500	+400
Wizard	+1000	+280	+280	+250	+600
Barb	+1400	+320	0	+600	+400
Veno	+1000	+280	+280	+300	+550
Archer	+1200	+280	0	+350	+500
Cleric	+1000	+280	+280	+300	+550
Sin	+1200	+210	0	+300	+500
Psy	+1000	+280	+280	+300	+550
Seeker	+1400	+300	0	+500	+400
Mystic	+1000	+300	+300	+300	+550


Holy Pills Daily "The Essence"

Bulletin Boards have shown up in the 5 major cities and Arch.

The initial quest given to you by the board will take you around the 5 major cities, 1K, and ends in Arch.

The next quest line will take you to Yee Yoon, in Dreaming Cloud west of DW. Her inital quest is here.

After completing the inital quest, a new quest line will involve finding a nearby npc named Zen Master Cloud. He is a moving npc in the Ridge of the Dreaming Cloud (west of the town that Yee Yoon is in).
One possible way of finding him is to go to 525 382 and wait for him to walk by.
After finding him, you'll have to head back to Yee Yoon.

In order to trigger her daily quest, The Essence, talk to the two fearless sunos that are behind Yee Yoon.
A quest will come up as True or False.
Three options will come up when talking to them, select the shout option for both of them, then go talk to Yee Yoon.
You'll receive 100 Holy Pills from this quest (pwdatabase does not reflect this).

Talking to Yee Yoon again will bring up her daily quest which involves mining 5 items per day (located in the same area where Zen Master Cloud roams around) and returning back to her to receive 2 Mystical Pills and 2 Holy Pills.


Veno Pet Evolution

Level Req: 100


Official PWE News page here

Desdi has done a wonderful post on the new veno pet system, I highly recommend checking it out.

As a shorter summary of Desdi's summary, changes and additions to the veno pet system will include:

-Monkey King and Harpy pet (finally!)
-The new legendaries will need 9999 Harpy Plumes and Soulroot Stones, much like the Nix and Herc
-New system begins at level 100
-Pets will change their appearance (Evolve) at level 100
-Training mode (lvl 100) will allow you to evolve pets and change their personality types (30 types)
-Pets at level 100 will be based off their summoner like with EG pets; legendary pets (lvl 100) can traverse land/air/water just like EG pets

Essentially, these changes start at level 100.
This has rendered my instant 80 veno on pwcn quite useless in this aspect.


Instant 80

Apparently this section is confusing some people.
Few things to note:
This is sure to be pwcn only.
"Instant 80" refers to an item given to players that meet certain requirements.


I am going to state outright that it's highly unlikely this will make it to PWI.
If you're interested in these types of events, petition Val about it.
I'm sure it'll go as well as the cross-server pvp.

This is here more for archival purposes, but feel free to read along.

"Instant 80" refers to an item given to players that meet certain requirements.

The requirements are:

-An account made before April 2nd, 2013 or April 9th, 2013
-A character level 40 and above
-A character that has completed cultivation of harmony (the 2x culti)

Everytime I entered the game world, a pop up appears about the current events going on in pwcn.

Clicking on that gets the internet explorer browser (I kid you not) that is in built into pw (it's available in our version as well, though obviously not enabled) and allows access different events. I won't go into detail about what all of the pages are about because I don't even know what they're about, so focus your attention on the one that says "80".

When you click on the icon that is under the title that says 80...

I don't have a in game screenshots of that because as soon I started messing with the 80 stuff, a new patch had changed so that the IE stuff showed up as a tab in my current browser (firefox).

So instead, I give you a link.
Here is the page when opened up on a browser that isn't an outdated internet explorer.

All you need to know is that the big red button on the left tells you whether or not you meet the requirements, the first drop down lets you pick which server you want the instant 80 bundle sent to, and the fill box wants you to fill in the name of the character.

After you set up your level 80 characters in that window, a mail is sent to that character, attached to it is a bundle box.

From that, I got:

-35 million exp & 7 million sp
-A gold ticket for a gold weapon
-A purple ticket for a set of purple gear
-A ticket for aerogear
-A red book for free gear for doing cultis
-20 teleport stones
-A geography map
-No money for my skills and no free cultivation for getting higher tiered skills
-395 stat points that I ended up using an autoclicker for

The tickets are redeemed at a specific npc.
Here is a shot of me redeeming gear at said npc.

Full list of items that can be got from the tickets:
Gear sets HA, LA, AA
Weapons for all classes
Aerogear at 1+/2+

The difference between the instant 80 on pwcn and a instant high leveled character on "not so official" servers is that while you're given a bunch of freebies, you still have to work for your skills and for your cultivation. The teleport stones and the geography map makes it tolerable, however. Also, you're constantly in debt due to all the skills you need coin for.

Doing your cultivation is slightly more enticing now, the red book from the instant 80 bundle box triggers the mailbox after every culti you finished for a freebie handout that gives you gold equipment to replace your purple equipment, and pieces that were not included in the tickets.


SOT and Abba updates

The instances of SOT and Abaddon have been updated with a greater difficulty and weekly quests to do. The two instances now support up to ten players.

The new weeklies can be got from the Celestial Messengers in Lothranis (SOT weekly) and Momaganon (Abba weekly).

The reward is a Crushed Emblem that can be redeemed for numerous prizes.

The updated bosses now drop two new buff items that give cleric, bm, and barb buffs for an hour.
Spirit of Assault
Spirit of Defense

Since these instances have been updated, doing heaven and hell fb99 cultis will be different:

SOT's old bosses have been shifted around.
Abba requires beating the newer bosses in order to get access to old Abba.
To access Old Abba, you must talk to the Chrono Sprite after beating the Puppet boss to get access to past Abba.

    -Converting JoSD to new JoSA

    I assume JoSA is the +2 atk lvl shard, does that mean if you have JoSD, you can convert them into atk lvl shards?

    So can a full JoSD user go full atk lvl build just like that? Or am I overthinking?b:shocked

    Are you for real? Are the days of npcing TT mats over? *Happy dance* "No more stressing bout bank space, lalalala".

    As for towers, those dont really seem to hit hard, they might be behind some of the debuffs and stun/etc. But not really as horrible as I was expecting knowing PWI.

    Was it just me or did that seeker gameplay look horrible? I am pondering if I am missing some relevant information why he played the way he did or if he really didnt have any masterplan behind it. Guess I`ll see in a week - need to make sure my WB partner starts downloading manual patch the moment servers close now that I finally has motivation to kill em.

    Yeah, I saw you posted the link to it in the Q&A thread. It wasn't untill right before I was ready to submit the thread that I realized it had a ton of information in it.

    I'll have to comb through it later, there's so much I can add from it. I think it also explains the meridian system in good detail, better than I can.

    From what I've seen, if you already have the JoSD in your armor, you can transfer them to 'JoSA' for 9mil/gem. 216m to transfer 24 josd to 24 josa.

    inb4kyia/mikee have it the day upon release and break the game ;_;

    Edit: I also didn't see any form of 'limit' in terms of swapping between JoSD and JoSA. Seems like you can just switch them in and out whenever you want, only it will cost you 9 by X amount of jades to do it ;S.

    The new NW maps seem interesting, I think it will also help with the issue we had with purify proc + flag carrying. At least in these two new maps, it should be more fair.
    I suppose whenever you get to a land it randomly generates into one of the three maps...do we have any information on it?

    The meridian system looks like a neat feature, however small the boost may be; it's still a nice little additional thing to have and it's available for low levels too!

    Thanks for posting Bubbles b:thanks I'm getting quite excited over this update.

    no, it isn't an option till level 40, low levels see 0 benefit from it

    as far as NW, if I could figure out what time NW is on w2I I could check that

    The new NW maps seem interesting, I think it will also help with the issue we had with purify proc + flag carrying. At least in these two new maps, it should be more fair.
    I suppose whenever you get to a land it randomly generates into one of the three maps...do we have any information on it?

    I think the new maps are kinda bad actually. The capture the flag map was a lot better and had many viable strategies. The new ones don't seem very interesting.

    1) Tower kill - Isn't that just a test of your DPS? Even if its unguarded it will take a long time for a small group of people to kill 9 towers. The arena is so small that I don't see much or any strategy. I'm thinking IG + triple spark will be the dominant tactic here. I think this one is ****.

    2) Crystal control - This one is a lot better but it's mostly about camping areas. This is just a test about who has the best ranged DD. At least it will be nearly impossible to win a 1v20 like you could with NW and lucky flag spawns. I think spawn camping will be a very common tactic.

    Looking over the PW-JP site update announcement (which is a lot more detailed than anything we ever get), it looks like the Meridian system has 2 modes, Impact (useable 5 times per day, consumes 1 special item per use) and Contact (50 points accumulated per day you log in, up to a maximum of 100 points, consumes the same special item as Impact plus one other.) I don't see anything specific on how they differ in practice.

    HP, PAtk, MAtk, PDef and MDef adds can be accumulated up to a maximum value, which depends on class:
    Class	HP	PAtk	MAtk	PDef	MDef
    BM	+1400	+280	0	+500	+400
    Wizard	+1000	+280	+280	+250	+600
    Barb	+1400	+320	0	+600	+400
    Veno	+1000	+280	+280	+300	+550
    Archer	+1200	+280	0	+350	+500
    Cleric	+1000	+280	+280	+300	+550
    Sin	+1200	+210	0	+300	+500
    Psy	+1000	+280	+280	+300	+550
    Seeker	+1400	+300	0	+500	+400
    Mystic	+1000	+300	+300	+300	+550
    

    The veno exclusive solo dungeon can be entered for 15 minutes by talking to Mrs. Zoologist between 9:00 am and 12:30 am by venos level 100+. Among the rewards (perhaps the only reward, certainly the only one specifically mentioned) is an item that can be used to give XP to pets.

    I suppose we'll see how it turns out when it actually goes live.

    I was just thinking it it might be more fair since there won't be issues like there are with the flag carrying but..I guess these new maps will have their own issues.

    legendary pets (lvl 100) can traverse land/air/water just like EG pets

    Does that mean herc and nix too, or just the new ones?

    Very excited about the TT mats stacking so high! Oh, how I have longed for such a change. Really hope they don't bring that instant 80 nonsense here though.

    Someone in the Q & A thread mentioned a new NPC that allows you to change names if you have a special item. Is this something in the expansion? I always thought that was too problematic.

    It applies to all the legendary pets, both old and new. It was probably a feature added as a benefit for having a legendary pet which sounds reasonable to me.

    I kinda agree here.

    I really hope that they won't implement the ginormous new map (or will revert that change). It might just kill most of the pvp aspect of NW: running around in more empty instances or steam rolling un-filled instance isn't fun.

    Moreover, despite having had NW for half a year, there are still lots of people who doesn't a grasp of the things that makes a difference in flag capture mode. Adding more instances will be adding more frustration towards the people derping around.

    The crystal-dominion mode does look promising. I think we may look forward to intense 40v40 fights between equal teams, with last-minute push/caps that will topple the score towards one side. But again, if we have a ginormous map, getting 40 people into one instance will be mission impossible...

    Wow, wan-mei gives so much love to their PW version. I'm so jealous. They have integrated radio, voice chat, integrated web surfing (characteristics that are common in a lot of games btw). And all those features are just deactivated code here. Why can't you PWE give more love to this game? This is a great game and has a lot of potential. Stop releasing so many new games and instead concentrate on running PWI to its full potential

    the features would either go unused here or be succeeded by something else

    the internet ? It's IE, and only goes to a few pages on wanmei's site

    radio? you have spotify and pandora

    voice chat? ts3 and vent


    All of these features are Chinese services that wanmei partners up with, except for the IE browser.


    the best pwe could do is use the browser for events, but even then they are focusing on Arc

    Yeah that's true, but I still feel they give 2nd hand treatment to this game.

    And that new map from nw, it made me sad when I saw it. I hope they either give us cross-server nw or change that map for our version.

    My rendering of the section on the Japanese announcement about the veno solo dungeon:
    Venomancers of level 100 or above are able to enter to enter <Fushado> from the quest options after taking the entry quest from Mrs. Zoologist in southeast Archosaur.

    Note: The available play times each day are 9:00 am to 12:30 am server time. Since the "<Fushado> Entry Quest" has a 15 minute time limit, be sure to enter within 15 minutes of accepting it. Venomancers in a party are not able to enter.

    After entering Fushado and talking to the NPC <Kyuyo>, NPC monster <Tricky Pop> and <Security Guards> appear in a circle. When you attack <Tricky Pop>, <Fushado> starts.

    When you attack the <Security Guards>, they become enraged and attack the swarming tameable monsters trying to break out of <Fushado>.

    Enraging the <Security Guards> which are not yet enraged consumes 100 points.

    Each time a <Security Guard> or <Tricky Pop> are attacked, their abilities change. Changing their abilities does not consume points. Observe the enemy pets' abilities and utilize this skillfully.

    Since they don't react to misses or taking 0 damage, use of magic attacks is more reliable.

    Deal with monsters taking a different path from the swarm along with your pet.

    At the conclusion, Mrs. Zoologist appears in the center and awards prizes according to the accumulated points. If you get the high score, you will receive many <kareishu>!

    The next section, about pet leveling, explains that the <kareishu> are used to give experience to pets.
