    Meditation and Transformation of the LA class.

    It doesn't look rushed to me at all. Maybe because it's only a screenshot but it's quite detailed ingame. (also on low textures/2nd worst graphics cause CN servers are already laggy as it is)

    I'm actually looking forward to them a bit more now since I know that unedited screenshots don't really come close to the detail you can see ingame unless you're very good with taking screens and have settings maxed out and so on.


    New LA goes black while AA goes blue. I wonder if there's gonna be any lore to point out the difference.


    ... Then again, PWI lore is weird anyways especially compared to what's on CN.

    I really, really hope so. I am not a fan of flowy splashy looks that lack details and solid textures.
    I do like the black transformation and meditation the LA class gets better.
    The flier is ummm a bunch of balls the players levitates on.... all righty then, seems interesting, although the violet ones are a bit underwhelming.

    The "horny" race has "balls" that they "ride".


    Maybe... just maybe... the new race is a dev injoke like the various phallic rock formations on the map.

    We can't joke about the stereotype of asians and phallic ehm "range" as excuse for this race right?

    LA while flying forward and a tailview for our "hornies" (like bronies)

    Transformation is a skill btw, not a permanent form like veno/barbs have, it's 20sec orso with 90sec CD

    Judging by this video, I'd say that while the new areas, skills, UI, and classes look great -- this overhaul of the graphics and changing the way combat works seems non-existent. It's hard to say if the older areas have been changed, but graphically speaking, it's equal to EG lands, Morai, Primal, and all instances that have come out since EG. There's nothing really "special" about this, so I think it's fairly hilarious that Wanmei is dubbing this "Perfect World 2".

    The idea of having a second iteration of the game (even though it's the same game...), is to change so much stuff that it would warrant either a new IP or a title change (sequel). In either case, if that's how Wanmei wants to play, then this should be Perfect World 4? Each time a new race comes out and we change up the UI, should it be a new "Perfect World"? Obviously not, which is why it's pretty hilarious. Wanmei's marketing team has always jumped on buzz words to get invigoration into their franchise(s).

    I am sure they named it "2" because they are trying to attract more people, yet it is the same thing.

    Some quick points for now:
    The Warsoul Recast Recast (3rd stage warsoul) is very similar to our normal 2nd stage warsoul but it always comes with 65 attack level.
    The Rank 8 Recast Recast (3rd stage again) is similar to Rank 8 recast but has slightly better base stats and better adds, like the weapon can get +15~+30 defense levels instead of +10~+25. The stat adds are +12~+20 dex instead of +8~+20. I didn't see any new weapon procs.

    I'll go more into this later but our current endgame seems intact.

    Well that's a bit saddening.
    What about the Morai armor upgrades, anything on that front?
    I know we saw screenshots of new armor sets, any clue if that's a new skin for a recast armor or something new altogether?

    Thank you my precious Asterelle. We can always count on you ^.^

    The weaps itself seem to be a let down...but we gotta wait for chances and all. I so wanna have a 40 Def lvl weap tho :P

    AND YAYs to DQ being 1 coin each.

    InB4 rage...all those "I wanna afk and get my gears for doing nothing"-people can go to hell anyways. PWE doesn't earn money with them and they destroy the ingame economy. So anyone that rages about this can simply quit and shut it. There have always been means to get your gears Free2Play with a bit of effort put. If you don't wanna put it, simply leave and shut your trollhole.

    Odds are they're class exclusive rank gear like what tideborn/earthguard have.

    That's just my initial guess thrown out at first thought, though.

    Botting DQ items is as bad as merchanting, which ruins the economy even worse: they only removed 1 of the 2 problems. Merchers are still the laziest "afking till I got my gears" that ruin the economy at the same time.

    Without people merching (and thus, circulating both coins AND goods) there'd be no economy to begin with.

    There's a huge difference between circulation of money (which is what drives a healthy economy, fyi) and injection (which is what kills a healthy economy when left unchecked and is what botting does).

    The warsoul seems to require this mat to make which is not in our NW forges (you can see it requires supply tokens or 12 best lucks to make.) So maybe we won't see this. But even so, doesn't matter much.
    It is said that apple pie is best served Al La Mode, so if you are the pie, consider me your ice cream.

    I'm all for a healthy circulation, but those aren't the merchers I'm talking about. I'm talking about for example 5 catshops that each buy Perf Tokens of Luck from each other every other day and up the price slightly from what they bought it for.
    Almost nobody else bought the tokens except those 5, and the price went from 22k to 37k in a matter of a week. Not because of rarity, not because of money spent (pretty much closed circuit), all simply because 5 of them rotate who has -all- the tokens.
    At the end of the week 3 or 4 catshops were completely empty, the 5th one had the full stack. If you'd combine the 5 catshops, the coins and items were almost equal to the week before, only now the price is 68% higher.
    (This is an example, just as reminder to others that this isn't 100% reality but a raw sketch of mercher activites)

    People complain about how the economy is ruined due to high prices, merchers added a great part to that effect.

    well monopolizing the market gives you this kind of advantages,

    but it's also a risk to try monopolize a certain market if you can't possibly have the full control on the market itself...

    let's say me and my friends see this token catshop thing going, and tomorrow we start doing the same but with 5k lower price range respect them,

    those ones just got basically screwed and lost a lot of value...

    also the example you brought it's basically what your ex-leader did past years using huge TW incomes to generate a coin surplus

    absolutely clever\smart and yea economy-breaking but very very risky
