Last time I played this game, gold had sort of stabilized at the 1.3m mark for a while. It had been higher in the past. PWI adds legal botting. (by far one of the worst ideas I've seen in any MMO, ever) Next thing I browse past the forums and you guys have hit gold cap. There are reasons other MMO's ban bots. One of them…

I was also around when gold was 100k. I think the point where I quit for good was a few months after NW was released, when I hit an awful RNG streak and got nothing but chips from BH for 3 weeks straight. b:chuckle Vana was dead. NW tokens had plummeted, TT was poor money. No one ran delta. Questing was pointless. Kinda…

My current large popular subscription MMO (silly "no naming other mmo" rules) is currently going through a content drought while they prepare for the next expansion, so I thought I'd drop by and check how the game that I once enjoyed, many years ago, is going. I've seen dating sevices, broken core instances, legal botting,…

You what...? O_o I don't actually play anymore, but are PWI seriously throwing advertisement pop-ups out mid-game now? I did enjoy the game once, but every time I look by, something else unbelievably ridiculous has been introduced. It sounds like PW's an absolute joke now. b:chuckle

Just a curious question from a past player, but how is Arc affecting the game population-wise now? Not a "game is dead" post, but I've noticed some threads on the front page were last posted in up to 2-3 days ago. I'm not sure if you guys realize, but that's rather bad. Is ingame any better off? The front page on the main…

Not sure why a bad computer should even be an issue if it played PWI before Arc. My own laptop is ancient and my connection isn't great. However, it currently plays the large subscription MMO I moved to that rules prohibit me to name. I'd love a reason to return to PW, but I'm 6 months behind on updates, so I have a huge,…

In the few weeks since I checked by, it seems you guys have had a rollback, server crash, WS is still down and there are no improvements whatsoever. I believe this expansion was their big chance to revive the game and put fresh life into it, and they've utterly failed it. There is no incentive at all for a returning player…

Well damn.... Most of that prediction was due to the way my first F2P mmo went. I quit that game to join PWI. I guess in the end every game eventually goes down this path. Missed the mark on the lv150 sadly. b:chuckle (DarkSeph is my alt)

Also rather curious too, been a while since I checked by. Any bugs fixed? 80+ quests revamped yet? Any new decent features? Any worthwhile content? I heard they pushed this expansion out ahead of schedule so I'm guessing there's a ton of glitches, but I'd like to be wrong.

$150? One hundred and....really....Serious? That's literally more than a full year subscription for a decent P2P game. For a single item. Not even touching on the obvious taking advantage after the free ocean orb thing. The hell are people (especially those who would buy this) still playing this game for? I'm honestly…

No. I think the latest facebook stunt of "Here, have some free Ocean Orbs.... :) ....lol jk too slow, nothing for you" :D should give enough indication of the state of the game for anyone considering to return (including me).

Let me get this straight... If you had absolutely no intention of abusing a glitch but didn't go to the redeem page fast enough (and well before the deadline), and you're not on Arch server, you'll get nothing? While those on other servers who were fast enough will enjoy 3 Ocean Orbs? On top of this, the entire reason for…

Currently playing a different mmo, I quit a few months back. However, I saw this promotion on facebook, definitely caught my attention. I would have no problem returning to this game if they made a legitimate improvement one day. (The dating service and unfinished quests joke didn't work for me last expansion). So no harm…

I don't remember a very high demand for very difficult content. I do remember a demand for BH bosses in different and a larger variety of instances. I do remember players asking for Nirvana and Delta to be revamped and made worth running so we had more content to choose from. I do remember players asking for new content. I…

Obvious choice here. Follow the tank and leave the DPS to it. If a DD can't take down a mob 1 v 1, they shouldn't be hitting anything unless the tank has visibly taken agro. I don't believe in "relying" on cleric heals as a DPS, the only heals you should expect are when you're the tank or the boss/mobs are aoe'ing. As a…

I'd love to be joking. In fact I'm one of those people who used to laugh at the multiple "I got nothing but chips all month" posts, because statistically, it's almost impossible for multiple players to be that unlucky. I spent the last 3 days pretty much certain of getting something other than chips, and after 9 in a row,…

I run BH on 3 characters, except Lunar and Delta days, when I only run on my 2 BM's. During the past 2 weeks I got the mirage reward twice and a culti orb. The other rewards? ALL chips. Legit. When it's a 25% chance and you hit it that often, after difficult days with a few bad squads, it's unbelievably frustrating. It…

I'd say no to Lunar paths. Don't get me wrong, Lunar itself is a great instance and I enjoy the run up to Hauntry Queen, but after that the entire thing is a mess. The fee IS an issue in motivating people. EoD makes a little less so, but even then you have to do full, and if you get a bad squad, you're in for a nightmarish…

There are very few players who would disagree with that suggestion. Pretty much everyone would like a wider variety of BH bosses or has suggested/mentioned it at some point. The devs themselves must know that by now, they just choose to ignore it. Miss the old 3-3 BH too. I do remember running it once or twice with faction…

Very likely that Dragon's Fire Packs have turned out to be a massive profit making success and PW have decided to milk it like crazy. Merchants generally buy these in mass bulk and resell since the more you open, the more likely you are to score a +12. Keep in mind +12 orbs are 1 in 10000 chance. I look around arch and I…

30 v 30 and 40 v 40 battlegrounds? That's gonna be laggy as hell. Don't see anything about a change in rewards either, despite the fact that seals, warsouls, raps and cannies are near-worthless now.

Sins who don't rib strike. Especially on things like WS advanced bosses or TT bosses where a BM/Sin is tanking or the barb is a little low on hp. Rib strike is a pretty decent support skill. I've seen 9k hp sins die to Snake without it, and 7k hp sins tank the entire thing with it. Used to be even worse back in Nirvana…

I think Cost of Glory upgrades to a Dual Blade when recasted. Could be mistaken though, I'm no expert on Warsouls.

Maybe remove a minute wait or so from your CD's on spawn. I know one of the biggest killers for me is when I'm popping everything against multiple r9+ opponents, get killed anyway and end up at spawn point with both sprints and several damage skills under CD. 15 seconds does nothing if I can barely escape, reach or deal…

In fairness, if most players solution is "turn off the music", then there's a problem. Otherwise why do we even have game music to begin with? They could have simply not bothered and saved development time, since "we can play our own music instead". Don't really see any problem with a change in some of the older game…

"use hf bm" I know when to use Heavens Flame dammit. b:angry I've demon'd it, I keep a CE genie. I time my HF's when the highest aps dps sparks, I don't HF too soon. If I'm not using it there's a good reason. Either it's on CD, I'm tanking, I've completely run out of chi, I got a lag spike or I just don't want the 5k hp…

Might depend on your build and weapon. Maybe try http://pwcalc.com/ and see which results in better magic attack.

Rather disappointed to be honest. The problem here is these fashions were developed to Asian tastes and for an Asian playerbase. PWI simply copy-pasted the update. No development work was put in to create any designs that would appeal to an international market. I have no doubt most of us could think up far better ideas…
