Greetings players!

Tonight is the night for the appearance of our usual weekly maintenance.
It will be a special one, as the territory war map will be reset.
I hope everyone got the most out of their wartime bets!

Just to note, if it goes a tad bit longer than expected,
it might be best to get sleep so tomorrow you'll be well rested.

By our estimation, the downtime will be from 11PM PDT to 2:00am PDT.

Now for the question of the week!

If you could write any in-game quest, what it be about?
Perhaps save a village from an impending drought?

If it were me...
I might write an epic journey through lands unseen that ends up being only a dream...


Thanks!

- The PWI Team

    First non-human reply!

    There doesn't seem to be any new manual patch for this maintenance.
    At least not yet.
    If you could write any in-game quest, what it be about?
    I don't like hypothetical questions.

    it would be about demons that get you when your sitting on the crapper and drag you down to hell :D
    What can you expect from filthy little heathens? Their whole disgusting race is like a curse. Their skin's a hellish red they're only good when dead they're vermin, as I said and worse. They're Savages! Savages! Barely even human. Savages! Savages! Drive them from our shore! They're not like you and me
    which means they must be evil we must sound the drums of war! They're Savages! Savages! Dirty redskin devils! Now we sound the drums of war!

    Add a new repeatable quest that lets you exchange a number of Bounty Orders to get a boss as a target (and paying you the amount of coin you'd get per Bounty Order in your level range once it's been killed).

    Bosses would be those outside of instances.

    something thats not been done yet. something i would have to think of for a bit longer for an idea.

    Ok here we go. how about doing or making a quest where you use normal players as NPCs. for example. Summer " Find a Hero in arch to find your next quest. " now your say what happens if that person moves or logs out. well simply put the quest would change to another name. Their could be an option to chat to the person as an NPC to get the next part of the quest or start it ETC. could even have people able to give quests by talking to them.

    So for example again. If i was a Master Of The Land. people could talk to me to get a special quest that a person with my title can offer!

    Now thats good!

    Quest title: Save your friend

    Description: Your friend [name of random friend from friend's list] has become possessed by [boss name here]. Defeat him/her and use the [item name here] to release his/her soul.



    Basically, since you can't use an actual person from your friend list, the game "copies" that friend so you can do the quest; and the friend it chooses is completely random.
    My characters:
    SailorRocket - Venomancer - Lv84
    TPKisaki - Archer - Lv72
    DrPepper_I - Cleric - Lv70
    QuietWarrior - Barbarian - Lv42

    Is the Veno instance getting fixed? The NPC to trade 1 Feral star for 10 is missing and you can't even start the instance in PVE because the ??? mobs can't be targeted for 2 weeks now.

    Also is the NPC that gives 2 holy pills and 2 mystical pills going to be fixed? This daily has been broken for 2 weeks now as well.

    Most likely they are waiting on a patch to come in.

    Rather than a new quest, adjusting the grinding machine quest, so it is either like a npc and multiple people can access it at the same time or have 3 more grinding machines. Perhaps in the same region as the one grinding machine, or 2 at lost, and the others by the other jolly old jones.

    Well there's an idea that sounds at the same time really complicated and simple.

    I dont have personally ideas myself.. probably some more quests to do daily to get a bit of extra money.. would help.

    my quest would include finding pages of a lost book, the book contains knowledge of the divine/chaotic depending on class, sage. you have to find all 30 pages which are spread throughout perfect world. Some are held by minor bosses but the rarest pages are held by world bosses which have 8 mill hp.

    The journey starts with a lunatic npc who babbles on about times past that are long forgotten. this takes you to each main city to talk to other lunatic lesser known npc's that will give clues to the validity of the quest. The questions must be answered in a correct order to get to the next NPC if answered wrong a set of mobs must be killed and each mob leaves a clue to the correct answer.

    Once you visit all main cities you must talk to your elder about the sorrows of the past. your elder has committed many crimes against the gods but this one leading to the book pages is one which will turn your main started sity upside down. You must vindicate your elder to receive the first book page.

    then after talking to multiple NPC about the elders past some alive some dead, some wraiths who talk to you after battle in a window, you find the evidence you need. and depending on how you answer the NPC and wraiths depends on whether your elder is innocent or guilty.

    if innocent you have to fight a boss to claim your elders innocence. and uncover evidence to prove his innocence

    If the answers lead your toon to see the Elder is guilty you have to fight a boss that the elder chooses to fight for him, either way you get the first page in the end,

    the rest of the quest is searching through npc's to find other pages and much like the riddle quest near sanctuary each page found posses a threat you as the bosses get harder and the npc have more of a challenge for you to face the more pages you get.

    In the end the pages form a new skill book for your class or can be traded for a increase of one stat for your weapon. or if not interested in those rewards can trade pages for a rep and spirit reward or a exp reward which again is based on level.

    Now for the question of the week!

    If you could write any in-game quest, what it be about?
    Perhaps save a village from an impending drought?

    If I were to write a quest it would involve the level one horses, dogs, kitties, chickens, and such from each of the main towns. Maybe go to each town, transform into one of the mentioned animals and get revenge for uncaring players killing them for fun each day. xD

    Orrr...just a quest that took place somewhere that you don't ever see other players in. Like the Star and Moon island that is just NE of The City of the Lost.

    My quest would be along the lines of

    Have something like, I dunno, card bosses or something
    Make one called Arthropodaux, and have it in hmmm, let's say Abaddon for now
    You can go in, kill a mob that makes a Summonbot or something spawn
    Talk to the Summon dude, and it'll spawn the card boss
    .....
    oh wait
    ....
    there already is something like that, except it's broken
