[Maintenance Discussion] 6/2/15 COMPLETE

1st human response, the wheels on the bus, cuz I have to since my daughter loves it TT.TT

Nirvana talismans removed... Hmmm, i'm going to laugh at so many people raging. while nirvana is pretty much useless, people still used them for subs. if they fully disappear, expect prices to soar back to pre-nirvana days (50-100k each) maybe mats will actually be farmed again? otherwise TT could be the new active skip BH.

Talisman gone....another source of income for some. IDK about anybody else but i BUY auto pot to save my charm ticking i dont see how useful its going to be for it to tick my charm then use my herbs >.> GJ

P.S....wondering if the Aurgon will now give 60 mirage means AEU chests being replaced? or BH reward itself? or......

So we are getting a lot of new stuff but not Astroblades, when will we be getting those? I would of expected they would of been included in this update as everything else we seen on China, which came with them, will be included. Well discounting NS primal skills.

think it stated it as a BH reward. so chests should stay, those aren't related to bh. hopefully they had the insight to just remove talismans from bh rewards. you can't even enter caster if its completely removed. tho i'm not too hopeful with how they worded it.

I'm just glad we're finally getting target-of-target. That's something I've been wanting in this game for years.

Neck/belt sockets coming...b:shocked

Kitty has so many albums and songs she never seems to get tired of.

Just to name a few:

Downfall (and other songs from Children of Bodom's Hatebreeder),
Kyomu no Naka de no Yuugi (from Malice Mizer's Bara No Seidou, one of the best albums ever)
Bel Air~Koaku no Toki no Naka de (also from Malice Mizer)
any album from Turmion Kätilöt
Kappa (from Whispered's Shogunate Macabre)
Hope (and pretty much any song by Swallow the Sun)
anything by Moi Dix Mois (especially Dix Infernal and Nocturnal Opera-albums)
Assault the Weak and One Dead Nation Under Dead God (from Impaled Nazarene albums Nihil and Pro Patria Finland)
Sakura No Rei+Sinister Rain (and anything else from Eternal Tears of Sorrow)
Opheliac (an album from Emilia Autumn, especially song Dead is the New Alive)
Toccata and Fugue in D-minor (by Johann Sebastian Bach)
Misanthropolis (from Noumena's album Anatomy of Life)
Blitzkrieg and Cyanide (songs from Deathstars album Termination Bliss)
Freezing Moon (from Mayhem's album De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas)
I Am the Black Wizards (from Emperor's In The Nightside Eclipse)
Death and the Healing (from Wintersun)
Noble (album from Versailles)

Not many probably know these 'cause most of these are japanese or finnish. Or black metal. Metal Kitty ish Metal Kitty.

*Nirvana Talismans have been removed from the game. They are no longer required for quests, and quests that awarded them have had their other rewards increased slightly.
*Auto-Recovery Stones will now wait for Charms to activate before using potions.
*Players who have increased their inventory to 60 with a Super Inventory Stone can now increase it to 80 with a second Super Inventory Stone.
*Players who have increased their Pet Bag to 10 with a Super Cage can now increase it to 20 with a second Super Cage.

Even though I like this update, I am starting to think that you guys are getting a bit money hungry.
If we bought the SUPER Inventory Stone that stated that we get the MAX slots, don't you think we shouldn't need to buy it again? If it's because of the coding, easy, just send another super inv. stone to the people that already have used one previously. Same with the cage.

You're aware that everything except the localization changes in the patch comes from China, right? b:sweat

Could... could you please change your font/color combination to something that's less murderkilldeathzone on everyone's eyes?

It's called Desperate Cry For Attention. Same could be said about other striking font colors, but lemme stop here. b:avoid [Derail]

(Most) People are ignoring the fact that the bags now CAN BE INCREASED. That's a win. Now comes the "IPaidForMaxSlostAndIWantItNowFiveSecondsAfterAnnouncement" rant.

The bags were able to be increased since expansion came out. It's the people who paid for max bags who got screwed over by being unable to do so and have been patiently waiting on a fix this whole time.

When it comes to cages, yeah it's fair to need another super stone because it's doubling the size of our pet bags. For inventory, on the other hand, we have to use another super stone for all of two rows. Naturally, we're not exactly happy about that since two rows is not worth a super inventory stone. If the fix compensated our wait by letting us get max for free while future uses would need the inventory stones? Absolutely amazing and unexpected but something we'd be incredibly happy for. Were it to let us use regular inventory stones like everyone else? Great, we'll take it even if some people complain as usual. If the requirement of Super stones came with extra expansion for the inventory that was equal to what the original super stone gave us? Cool we're getting our money's worth. As is where we have to use two super stones for an expansion that's not worth 2 super stones and is cheaper for everyone else? Especially after waiting patiently for a proper fix? Yeah, no. We have every reason to be ticked off about this. China screwed us over and the fix they sent over rubs salt in the wound.

The patch comes from China... Ok, how does that prevent PWE from giving out the Super Cages or Super Inv. Stones to the people that already paid for them once? PWE can give away codes, they just don't want to. They can also make an automatic sending algorithm that would send you the items IF you had the max already (since PWI functions by quests when you increase your stuff that would be fairly easy). But of course they won't do that, because people will have to charge again for the new stuff.

It's just that.

A code? Sure that helps except for people who have multiple characters on their accounts who used super stones. Giving away an item based on whether or not the character's completed a specific quest? Great until people choose to sell it to others rather than use it (aka the same **** that caused the orb fiasco that everyone ******* at PWE about without taking responsibility for the part the community played in it) and that's BEFORE accounting for the limitations on PWE staff, the lack of devs PWE has, and the extra work and manpower that would be required for such a task (hint: It's not as easy as you want to pretend it is).

But sure, claim that it's completely about PWE being greedy even though they didn't come up with the fix and their primary goal was getting a fix from China for us in the first place.

Since some people have brought it up, I wanted to clarify that increasing your inventory from 64 to 80 with regular stones actually takes five of them, not two (two stones from 64 to 72, and three from 72 to 80).

Well then, that's not an upside to anything, no chance in hell I'll buy another super inventory stone or 5 more. The costs don't cover the gains.

OPKossy wrote: »

That said, could you perhaps clarify how this change to the auto-recovery stones will work as well? It's the one other big concern here and if it works the way we fear (as in it only activates potions while a charm is on cooldown), then I can see a lot of issues and anger about it. On the other hand, if it's more of a fix for the issue of it immediately going off when someone respawns and thus wasting resources, it'll actually be something everyone will be grateful for.

It honestly sounds to me like they're just saying that every time it checks if it should tick charm or run autopot, it will now tick charm before doing autopot instead of the other way around (as it used to be). I would find it hard to believe that they would completely disable autopot until charm was on cooldown, that would be nonsensical.
