    Would like to state that PWE is ONLY a publisher for PWCN. Any and all Patches must be made in China first. So if China doesn't make a manual patch then PWE can't have one for download. Also The Auto-Patch most likely won't get set to download the patch until after maintenance has started.

    PWE basically has get permission first before they can release anything. >< It sucks but it is how it is done.

    Everything will be live once the maintenance is over, so 6AM (assuming no delays).

    As for "12 Noon" regarding the Illusionary Stone, here's the time converter in case you're wondering about the conversion from our time to yours: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20141217T12

    Forums will probably look the same for now. I'm not aware of any changes as of yet.

    It would be nice if they bothered to fix them before changing anything. I mean really, some issues not touched for well over a year is pretty silly.

    he has already stated that when the stones are sent out all current toons with the exception of the new race/class, that are logged into the the server will recieve the stone. If that is not the toon you want to get the stone log out of that toon BEFORE 12 noon PST. and into the one you want to have the stone.

    Cool, I just wanted to be sure I have time to sacrifice a goat for the devs so we get no glitches and do a celebratory booty dance at midnight!

    Gameplay

    *Level 80-89 Bounty Quests now require killing monsters in the Wraithgate and Hallucinatory Trench.
    *Level 90-99 Bounty Quests now require killing monsters in Eden, Brimstone Pit, and Twilight Temple.
    Previous BH quest for 80-89 include bosses from bh69 and bh79 and BH 90-99 had already have brimm and eden, but TT bosses are new on this one.

    Just for clraification, does this new BH only for bosses or certain mobs included?




    Maintenance Question: If you could have 1 new thing in this expansion, that has never existed before in PWI, what would it be and why?

    b:surrender I want more than 1 new thingies
    - Account stash expansion stone
    - Summonable pet which carrying extra bag for looting, even with super inventory stone, the space is not enough due to apo, pots, gear swap, and others.
    - Ability to attack while on mount.

    Another cool suggestion for an update, instead of having to go to your mailbox everytime you had mail, what if you clicked the lil mail icon and it auto opened whatever mail you had?

    Same for your bank :P

    and a bigger inventory and fashion stone, i got max size and with all the new fash it just not big enough b:chuckle

    The ability to mix-and-match, dye, and also transform our armor without changing stats. Fashion in nice and all, but gear can look awesome as well, but not to the point where everyone looks the same. This is something that's becoming popular in many games and I love it.b:pleased

    And holy **** that patch has a lot changing......b:shocked

    A stone that allows me to put any existing weapon skin onto another weapon. So tired of seeing the same g16/r9rr skins on everyone. I would love to be able to skin my r9rr/g16 weapons with g15 TT skins, or OHT skins, or anything else.

    Sparkie can you be clearer on the times? I'm not too certain about it because when I clicked on your link, it made it seem like it was going on NOW. Which doesn't seem to be the case. So what are estimated time and all the good stuff, because that was confusing the hell out of me


    EDIT: What will the forums look like with this update? I'm very curious about that hehehe

    Yes, the initial time conversion isn't working properly, for some odd reason, I had to do the transition myself in order to find the proper times, so you'd best do the same.

    I can't find the link now, but I remember it saying we got 40 mil spirit as well for skills. I'll keep trying to dig up the old link.

    Edited to add:
    Okay, this is the link I remember reading.

    Note:
    We have to get China to make those for us, and lately they haven't been doing it for us. I've poked them once again to get us one, since this patch is pretty big.

    Can't wait for the update!

    The one thing I'd like added so many others have already said, an unbinding stone. I'll take it one step further by requesting that it could be used on venomancer pets. I'd really love to turn my harpy and herc back into eggs since I don't play my veno much. I'd much rather be able to unbind them and sell to people. Someone else could use the pet more then me and I surely could use the money. b:surrender

    Maintenance Question: If you could have 1 new thing in this expansion, that has never existed before in PWI, what would it be and why?

    Faction Jacket, yes Fashion has existed but a "Faction Jacket" has not. What is a Faction Jacket you ask....think of something like a High School Letterman Jacket or a Biker Gang Jacket

    Your Faction Name and Icon would automatically appear on the back, perhaps patches on shoulders to denote officership in faction

    I prefer Biker Gang style Jacket myself, with Faction Name on rocker across the top back and Icon right in the middle of the back, but PWI could offer different styles, Letterman Jacket, or a military style Jacket, like a flight Jacket or cruise Jacket, again with a Patch in the middle with Faction Icon and a rocker across the back shoulders of Faction name, perhaps some kinda strips for officers on sleeves. Maybe even a Join date, Achievement patches.

    Achievement patches could be sold in the boutique and only eqiupped once the player has actually accomplished an achievement. Possible achievements, War Veteran...attend a TW....or a stripe for every Tw ATTENDED. STRIPES sold in the shop for like 10 silver but attend 10 TW and you can equip 10 stripes on the sleeve

    This is just a rough idea and would of course need to be refined, but I think a "Faction Jacket" would be a Hot Item in the Boutique.

    Of course once you left a Faction your Jacket would go back to BLANK, But the Faction name and Icon should be automatic while achievement patches would have to be re earned and re purchased, again patches should be cheap, but everything counts in large amounts, think of the potential ssales PWI. I would buy one if offered

    Please reply to this post if you would buy one too b:victory

    Never going to happen. The Chinese government won't allow it to be put in their games.

    inb4 "why not just have it for us?" because China screens everything it exports or imports. So they'd find it and refuse it exit of the country.
