PWI: Rising Call - Questions and Answers! [2013-06-12]

Ok time to comment

Anyone who says all servers should be made pvp or merged and made pvp,
just because you are a pvp w***e doesn't mean we all are, they put in the PK mode for a reason. If you don't like the pvp here go play backlight retribution (a pwe game) full pvp, not even a way to have fun on pve or, y/k, play a pvp server on pwi.

But if anyone who thinks that all servers should be pvp cause *they* want pvp are just self obsessed little children who only think about themselves. PWE gave you pvp servers and PK mode + NW/TW.

I play pve for a reason. I don't like ppl who cash 10 grand a year killing me as I try to level or if I leave a safe zone. If you want to pvp then go pvp, but don't try to force the rest of us to.

I like to PVP and I do a lot of TW/NW but I don't like getting killed when I'm questing / helping ppl / doing divines.

And no I'm not some f2p whiny little newbie. I have been playing for, god the number of years escapes me atm, but I started playing right when rising tide went live here, I got a herc and nix on 2 servers and am working on my r9 now, and when the time comes I will go PK mode. But in the meantime I like the fact it is an option to go PK or not, lots of ppl on Morai server in PK to play with.


Now for all of you too lazy to read the forum,
Shame on you!
All the main questions (that I can remember) (answers by Val unless noted otherwise):

Will we get +2 att lvl shards: Yes

Will we get +3 def lvl shards: No, they didn't even get past the CH test servers

Will our NW map get bigger: Yes, but GM's will monitor this

Will the new pet system effect existing pets or only new ones: All pets will be affected
by this system, old and new, however the effects will not kick in until a pet is level 100+ (answered by community and by everyone who has played the CH version of the game )

Will PK come back in SP: No official word, but best guess is Yes, SP is PK in the CH version and are devs always seem to forget to fix it for major patches (understandable cause they have so much else to do, (I do some small time game writing, it's not easy))

Will the new gear replace G16/r9.3: NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! (this has been asked and answered so much that caps and ! are needed!) the new stuff is a cape, a hat, and some rings, + maybe a neck and belt or two.

Will we get the CH textures for R9.3: No

Will the level cap go up: No

Will we get new race/class: No, stop asking, remember the fuss they made about EG? If we get new race and class we will know long beforehand.


QQing disguised as questions answered anyways:


Why are venos getting special treatment? Why is no one else getting an update? Because gear and toons have been getting steadily stronger and veno pets can't keep up, this is being fixed by this update, also other classes are getting a lot in this update.

Is the NW map rly getting bigger? This will ruin gameplay. Yes it's going to be bigger, and no it won't ruin gameplay. Stop whining.

+2 att shards will ruin the game, why are you adding them? Full DoT sharded gear if everything is 4 soc and weapon is 2 soc would give room for 26 gems, so even for someone sharded with full +2 attack lvl stones that's just 26 more att lvls over being full DoT sharded, and if they are full +2 att shards they will be easy to kill cause no JoSDs or hp/def shards. Deal with it!


Legit questions:

Will SoF/PF be needed for the new pets: No
Will they make Sof/PF drop: No
Will the new pets be CS pets?: Well they could be CS or NW no official word yet, maybe both

To Val, this update looks rly cool and I can't wait for it, thank you, and tell all the other gm.'s / devs / ppl at pwe thank you.

Nation Wars?
Yes, the Nation Wars region map size is being increased, and no we are not getting cross-server PVP.

- Val

From the /risingcall:
"PWI's massive multiplayer PVP battle system, Nation Wars, is expanding across servers, allowing cross-server PVP for the first time ever! Rage and fight against new opponents and prove your might!"


why does the GMs comment contradict?

I would really like a reply to this was well. Your teaser site states Inter-Server fights in Nation Wars, is that just a error?


(I realllllllllllllllllllllly hope not.)b:cry

What will by the max amount of stat-increase you can gain from the Meridian system? And how many times will you be able to unlock a new set of meridians?

See here for maximums (taken from the PW-JP expansion announcement.)

How do you know the class limit is 10!? f:ponder

He runs his own private server, so he has more access to the (human readable portion of the) code than most of us do.

if lvl cap is 101 then why are there 102's 103's 104's 105's and even 106's.
cap lvl is 150 in the chinese edition of the game

1st, there is no level cap at 101 in PWI. You either misread or someone made a typo.

The 105 level cap in PWI has already been discussed in detail within this very thread. Levels 100-150 have been compressed to level 100 to 105 thus explaining the large amount of exp required to advance to the next levels. If you want the reasoning behind this and more detail I suggest you read through previous posts in this thread.

Also, there are no 106 chars anywhere on any server in PWI. And PWI and PW-CN are not the same. Apples and Oranges.

V4liance, how will the new NW battlefields fit in the current one? Will it be known which kind of battle are we entering or random? Sorry if this have already been answered, I've missed it.

ok i'm confused, in here you say we wont have cross server nw but http://pwi.perfectworld.com/risingcall in here it says we will have it, so wich one is the correct?

Val stated in Post #72 that currently our servers are not equipped to deal with cross-server NW yet so the answer is no cross-server NW.

Val also stated in Post #137 that a larger expansion is coming later this year.

Maybe cross-server NW will be ready then. If you are still confused then you'll just have to stay confused until next Friday when the 1st NW event occurs after the new NW system is in place to actually see that there won't be cross-server NW as Val stated.

Will Ther Be Double Drops Or Exp With This New Update?

More importantly, will there be a server-side source of significant coin input into the game to balance loss from NW forges/G16/R9/R8r rerolls?

EDIT: I'm dreaming.

just wanted to know when this update was coming out thanks.b:thanks

They always have 2x event for new content updates and expansions so we'll probably get one for a week or so.
