Hey everyone,

Tonight is the special night! The download will be extra chunky today, as we are updating the game with the New Horizons expansion. We expect the process to take double the usual maintenance length, our estimate is:

11pm PST - 5am PST

As always, we want the maintenance to go smoothly so that we can release the content to you as soon as possible.

As we near release, this thread will be updated with the patch notes as well as the events you can expect to have fun with!

This week's maintenance question:

What type of fashion weapons would you like to see?

PWI Patch Notes v765 - Released December 18th, 2013

New Features
*Reawakening: By returning to level 1 and consolidating your power, you can permanently raise your stats. Reawakening unlocks an experience boost, a new questline, and the new Primal World zone.

*New zone: The Primal World. Journey to the ancient land abandoned by Pan Gu, to fight new enemies and gain new rewards!

*Historical Advancement: Advance the story through serverwide progression, completing quests to unlock new areas and quests.

*War Avatar: Collect cards based on famous friends and foes of Perfect World to boost your stats!

*Place of Origination: A new starting zone for new characters. Make your way from the Primal World to Perfect World with an exciting new series of quests!

*New Skills: Upgrade to stronger versions of existing skills, including Sage and Demon versions, or try out a variety of brand-new skills found in the Primal World.

*Cultivation Assistant: Automatically kill enemies to quickly level your character.


User Interface
*The Event Calendar has been overhauled with more detailed information. It now allows you to automatically form squads for events, and even teleport directly there with a new Cash Shop item, Angel of Wishes.

*The venomancer, Sheomay, can now be summoned from the Encyclopedia to provide helpful information. While she is out, clicking on a skill or item will automatically display its Encyclopedia entry.

*Many dungeons have received updated maps in the style of Abaddon or the Seat of Torment.

*The PK Protections button has been moved above your health bar.

*The PK Mode toggle has been moved into the PK Protections pane.

*A new Functions menu option has been added, containing Actions, the Encyclopedia, the Pet Bag, Commission Shops, and the Cultivation System.

*A new rewards chest has been added to the upper left. Click it to receive rewards from leveling up, Reawakening, staying logged in, and more!


Skills
*All skill tooltips have been rewritten for clarity, consistency, and accuracy. Skill functionality has not been changed.
*Skill tooltips now list the amount of Chi generated by the skill.

Archer

*Wingspan has been renamed to Wing Burst.

Assassin
*Dagger Devotion has been renamed to Dagger Mastery.

Barbarian
*True Form has been renamed to Tiger Form.

    Hey everyone,

    This week's question:

    If you could create your own Fashion Weapon, what what you be fighting with?

    Thanks!

    - The PWI Team

    Either way, my answer would be the same.
    Euthymius - Heavens Tear wrote: »
    I've said this before somewhere, but I'd like to have a Mini-Hakkero Reactor as a Sphere (or a small Keystone..or a Yin-Yang Orb).
    Or a Control Rod for a Magic Sword (or the Sword of Hisou)

    Or Roukan Dual Swords (complete with a myon of your own~)

    Or...a grimoire (any magic weapon) that opens (while casting) and shuts (while idle) and flips through its pages rapidly while channeling skills!

    I can't get it to work either.

    DoD please check over the manual patch I don't think it's functioning correctly.


    EDIT: I only tried opening the file from my downloads folder. Rickioo, something I just found is if you go to your patcher (C:\Perfect World Entertainment\Perfect World International\patcher) and open the patcher there, you can manually select a file to patch with. Try this and see what results you get. :D

    I tried installing the patch early on my laptop (since I rarely use it for PWI so why not) and I keep getting an error - "Update listed files error."

    Is this just because I'm trying it early? I'm hoping I can wake up tomorrow and play right away >.>
