every one complaining about bigger NW map needs to remember w/o the new map we don't get the new battle types

if you believe that you dont know anything about programming

Was reading about the NW bridge wars and was wondering if those archers were added to prevent spawn killing? If so they should be added to the normal NW maps as well.

How the hell would that work? You need to run by enemy spawn points to turn in the flag to your own base...all CTF wars would end in 0 to 0 if that were the case. Besides, it isn't spawn killing if they get barb, bm and ep buffs, 1.5 sparks and 15 secs of immunity whenever they respawn.

Val, does PWE have any intention of upgrading the servers?

meridian system - I find it to be a good thing. more power + helps newbie when they need to do the upgraded bh 100s. (mainly lunar, and eh darn oh warsong ^ ^;)

Grants me a little more stats for FC. I like that honestly. :x /hate the 2-3% grind. /Still need to try a sin party tho. Heard it is faster.

couple questions and maybe theyve alredy been answered if so plz post those answers

1 will cross server pvp be available at some point in the near future? (as in the bigger expansion?) Because he mentioned the technical issues atm it doesn't seem they can do it but I doubt they can do it even 5-6 months from now unless they get more knowledgeable coders. If they fix their name database then sure maybe?

2 is the map being enlarged for when the cross server pvp happens? Again, this is assuming if they manage to fix the above so yes-that and we need new variety

3 SAME SEX MARRIAGE!!!!! is it ever going to happen? No. China won't/doesn't allow it in their version and we get all our content from them. So highly doubtful. Its not PWE's fault-blame China. Im sure our version would make a TON of money if it did with the amount of ppl throwing it around in WC and in faction XD

thank uf:thanksf:thanksf:thanks

My responses in blue

the +2 ATT lvl will prob be in a pack, and maybe be in NW forges

We are at max race/class now, however PWE/PWCN might decide it would make them more money to alter the code and add more

yes sylen I know this will prob cause problems for existing servers but with code you can do anything. if they truly wanted to they could add more without breaking servers, same with the level cap. however they probably wont unless something major happens with the player base (IE every cash shopper saying they wont add money until a new race/class is added)

I hope they bring same-sex mirage, I don't have need for it but I know a lot of people want it and it would make pwe a lot of money to get some coders in the alter it, idk how tightly PWE's license from PWCN is and if it blocks them from making such changes. and in fact that is truly the only limit on what PWE could do, that and the money it would cost them to do stuff.

@val

I hope that the plan of fixing icons becomes the reality. I miss mine

It doesn't matter how much money it would make them or how many people want it. The simple fact is that same-sex marriage is illegal in China. Due to this game being a Chinese product and PWE being a wholly owned subsidiary of PW Beijing, until the Chinese government changes the laws and the Ministry of Culture stops being a checkpoint for all media imported and exported from the country, you will not see same-sex marriage become an option in this game or any of their other titles. It is also nothing the programmers that PWE employs would be able to do themselves. It would have to come from the programmers in China, just like the safe zone for Secret Passage fix would have to come from them.

I wonder why they decided for the huge NW map. I didn't really play on the currently enlarged one, but size seems to fit.
When we had the tiny one I was like "Please don't be full...don't be full...don't be full" when traveling to a battle, now I'll probably be like "Please don't be empty...please don't be empty..."
On the other hand... there might be some interesting strategies to come up with.

Hey everyone,

First off - I want to apologize for any confusion caused by the text in the microsite. (Oh, and I hope everyone signed up for that free pet! It's pretty awesome.)

The old text that referenced cross-server PVP was written when we were contemplating attempting to implement that system with this update. However, we discovered deeper technical issues which required us to postpone any possible cross-server system.

The microsite text should be updated and fixed by now.

Again, I apologize for any confusion there.

Thank you b:thanks

No it's not a good idea lol xD It works on this new map because the spawn points are on the extremes of the battlefield. The other team's players have no business beeing there. For the map we currently have the spawn points are inside the battlefield and between the middle and capping point so adding those archers at spawn point will actually prevent from capping the flag.

That's a pretty big assumption. It done right, it could easily only stop spawn camping. You know when 10 plus people all park at the spawn zone making it next to impossible for many people to get away and getting spawn killed the moment their immunity wears off. Whereas with capturing a flag, if you're doing it right you should be in and out of the spawn zone very quickly. If you mean that if someone is 20 versus 1, it would be harder for them to win since you HAVE to stop and pew pew instead of relying on teammates. That's a good thing. It shouldn't be easy to win against 20 people by yourself anyway. That's a clear imbalance in the competition.

We'll have to see how strong they are and how much range they have before we can assume it would stop people from capturing the flag. If it works out well (only deadly if you're continuously in the area, not a crazy high range but enough so even most casters/archers would think twice about spawn camping) then it could be useful. If it would actually prevent people from doing what they need to do. Then that would be a bad thing. It all depends really. We won't know something like that until we see it.
