    Do i have to download Arc to play PWI now or does it come with the update patch? I also do think that you maybe want to balance out the classes before making new ones, tho the ideas for the new classes that the Lost City player gave (forgot her name) is very cool. i only wish that the GMs of the servers would be visible and maybe helping players when they ask...

    I do wish there was a way to check server status. The old page just shows all green (when we know it's still down) and it auto sends you to arc, which apparently has no server status page.

    Arc

    Arc is now fully integrated into PWI. Launching the game will now also launch Arc.

    That's all? >.<

    A) That server died eons ago.

    B) Lazy games are even more boring than the actual games they're taken from.

    You have to add PWI in ARC, look for "ADD GAMES" in ARC.

    Yeah, DN was a great server.. although levelling to 200 = Sins had SO MUCH dex, and were still actually overpowered.

    I played a Wiz and BM there, and while it all felt really balanced (as far as everyone having all +12 +2 Def stones etc) Sins were still very strong.

    Maintenance Question: If you could make your own custom class, what would it be and how would it function?

    I would make a Lancer
    light armor
    heavy in str AND dex
    and maximum of 20 mag. allowing it to have a bit more mana otherwise it will need some mana shards for its aoe heal
    and lance and shield is the weapon. str for the shield. dex for the lance

    upperlower: the user uppercuts the target and sweeps below knocking the target offbalanced.
    lvl 1


    piercing drive. the user charges up and attack and drives it into the target with great force. causes bleeding
    lvl 9


    shield bash. causes stun. 40% chance to stun
    lvl 19


    (heres where the magic comes in)

    javelin liner: the user stabs the lance into the ground aloowing them to spin kick the target then pulling the lance out and slashing the target. causes poison
    lvl 29


    agnamursz: a gun like blast in an area around the target. causes burning
    lvl 39


    rapid lulu: a ranged gun like attack sending out water balls in 3 separate ways, causes water damage and water DoT
    lvl 39

    life spin: increase health by 100 every 5 second and give fortified for 4 seconds to all squad members in a 15 meter radius
    (sorta like blue disk but not as powerful heal. the fortified is the main part of it)
    lvl 49

    death spin. the user stands on their shield spinning around and around with their lance out. causes poison, burning, drowning, bury, shocking, to enemys
    has a 30% chance to cause stun to mobs.
    lvl 100

    I never downloaded the game via ARC, i had just added in ARC & even after updating today ARC didn't asked me to redownload the whole once again. So i guess this problem is happening with some users not all.

    I've already made up a few 'fan classes' for most of the races, to try and give each race equal numbers of HA, LA, and AA. The ones I came up with so far:


    Ringmasters (Female) - Female untamed who have taken a turn on the 'bad girl' side call themselves the Ringmasters. Unlike their sisters, the Venomancer, Ringmasters do not heal their pets. With a sharp crack of the whip, they send their ferocious beasts into battle. Do not be fooled by the pets though, Ringmasters are very offensive. With their whips they can deal decent damage at quick speeds. If a pet is to fall in battle, they have no worries, they have a parade of beasties behind them. Who knows, maybe they can even turn a very pet/summon against it's master?...

    *Ringmasters will appear more animal than their sisters. They will have sharper horns, longer ears and tails with more fur. Their pupils will be slits and their claws long. An added Raccoon ini will be available.*

    I LOVE THE RINGMASTER CLASS IDEA!!!!!!! b:cute I'm normally a nice little cleric and this could help me bring out my naughty side hmmm ...muuuHAHAHAHA!! *Listens to Lady GaGa and dreams* b:dirtyb:kiss
