Aww, but apparently your post got modded. Now I can't see the no-doubt delightful trolling. :( If we're talking about PWE's "obligations," then it's the age-old debate of profit vs. sustainability, the free-to-play business model, how much influence cash shoppers have, etc. etc. etc. ad-nauseum. But at the end of the day,…

Valiance was looking into this issue before he left. He then took a position at another company (he was NOT fired as some suggest, and I have the PM from him to prove it). Therefore it falls to the new CM to pick it up. Unfortunately for your personal preferences, this is an issue whether you approve of it or not.

The horse was very much alive and provably in favor of said level restriction the last time we all had this discussion, thank you. You don't have to personally acknowledge it for it to be there. :P

Sparkie: I want to caution you strongly on your implementation of the "forum cleanup." PWI has a long-standing tradition of constructive criticism on these boards. Admittedly, non-constructive criticism is here as well, and that often makes up the lion's share of discourse. So while it's certainly reasonable to want to…

Hey, at least he's being honest about it. More so than most of his predecessors, at any rate. That being said: I know you're busy, but I need to request your full attention onto this question for a minute: Is this the start of a larger sweeping change in PWE? As I said on the last page, this is ringing all kinds of alarm…

You guys do realize... that by changing the domain name they make their primary site on... they're basically telling us all "we don't want to be known as Perfect World Entertainment anymore," right? I mean, it'd be awfully convenient to get away from all that "flagship game" baggage we silly customers guilt them with,…

I just have to ask this... how many support staff do you have? In recent years you guys have given every indication that you're paralyzingly short-staffed. o.O Did you finally bring some new folks on?

Has nobody mentioned the invisible holes on the Archosaur towers yet? o.o The one I know of for certain is in the Northwest tower (just west of the North Arch teleporter). On the east side of that tower, you can drop through a portion of the floor and find yourself walking around inside the support structure (without…

Just chill, people. Tech isn't perfect, and they just went through some kind of server migration on Tuesday night (if the maint thread's title is to be believed). There's naturally going to be some hiccups with that kind of thing. Go outside and breathe some fresh air. You won't die from losing PWI for six, twelve,…

If people want to roll on a server that encourages the glorification of this game's power creep until the server is so dead that there's no one left to PK, then that's their prerogative. I don't roll on PVP servers for a reason... but that doesn't mean they don't have a right to exist. That being said, there were a few…

I think the problem with this scheme is that it's too... what's the word... muted? The colors alone aren't anything too terrible, but they're so similar to each other that everything seems to blend together. That's what's causing the eye strain. The white is actually the most tolerable part... it's the rest of them that…

I don't do NW anymore either, mostly because the tokens just aren't worth the time. That's why I suggested the option to exchange them for pack tokens. It'll lower pack token prices and raise NW token values, making it worth doing again.

Interesting thing about all these market shifts... a lot of things are going up, but some other things are going down as well. Botting aside... token prices have doubled due to coin packs/inflation causing a lack of supply. On the other hand, raps/cannies have crashed due to overabundance and lack of other good things to…

One does not simply roll on Harshlands and expect not to be PK'd under any and all circumstances. One also does not simply expect PWE to have an active round-the-clock GM monitoring staff. That has never been the case, OP, do your research. It probably should be the case, but then, there are a lot of "should-bes" around…

Gosh, maybe you'll have to go without +10 gear. What a travesty. Go buy the Furby, then. It's annoying, but at least it isn't pixelated. :P

Bumping this thread because someone asked about it in General. Any chance we can be sure wanmei is aware of this?

I submitted a thread to quality corner about it. Didn't get noticed. It would be good if it got some more attention so we can be sure it's looked at by the devs.

It also says it's a "Labor Day Event," though. So this may well be one of those things where the devs passed us a build and then said "oops, did we leave THAT flag on?" So it might be removed in next week's patch, or it might not. As for the rewards: Hey, free Random Pigments. :P And a disturbing abundance of Makeover…

Just to confirm here, are you saying that power creep doesn't exist, or that it's just overstated? Either way, don't assume that anyone who has a complaint against godmoding is just jealous. There certainly are those who are jealous, but you have no way to prove that for any given individual. I've played PWI for five…

.........okay, wow. Listen, I have no problem responding to personal criticisms, but don't derail someone else's thread for it. If this is a serious problem for you, send me a PM so we can discuss it. Otherwise, no one's demanding that you respond to my posts. o.O I actually did a quick search of every thread that you and…

Since you bring up tanks... let it never be said that I think a barb is necessary in every situation. Hell, BH59 is one of my favorite examples of an instance that any caster can tank perfectly well. I just believe in following basic RPG design. Barb, BM, Seeker... even archer or caster in cases where the boss will fight…

For what it's worth, the CM... when we have a full-time one... usually does try to collect community opinion well enough. The problem is, all our suggestions have to cross the pond to reach the devs. That's going to naturally isolate us, and it does.

I'm sorry, did the definition of "multiplayer" change since 2009? Because that would be pretty amazing. o.o EDIT: ...did you seriously just accuse me and somebody else of being out to get you, personally? Because I really don't know what to say to that, except stop looking for patterns that aren't there.

Now try giving us an example that doesn't include any variation on the word "solo." Protip: Soloing endgame MMO instances is like setting up your house for a party and then inviting no one but yourself. The entire purpose is defeated. Take off what you call endgame gear and put on what was considered endgame gear at the…

What's wrong with Dreamweaver? I've been playing there for a month or so and from what I can tell, it's one of the only servers left that isn't overrun with either trolls, non-English-speaking powerlevelers, or both. Why should he come to trolling tides? :P EDIT: Seconded. Some of 2009's most memorable (if confusing)…

Total agreement with this. What you're describing is an example of a significant, but not game-breaking advantage. Very different from what we have now PVP-wise. The initial complaint by the R9 crowd was lack of challenge, wasn't it? They're using gear that the PVE game was not designed for, and they're hoping for more of…

From what I've seen, class balance isn't that big of a problem. It's gear balance that obscures everything. Sins wouldn't constantly zerk crit if it weren't for their gear, nor would some barbs be virtually unkillable. There are people of every class who constantly whine about everyone else being more OP than them, even…

...I seriously hope that's a joke. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Ideally with screenshots? Alternatively: Brb learning Demon Archer buff.

Don't worry my friend, I haven't been on the forums for 5+ years to not hear this argument a hundred times already. :P And I've put money into this game before - probably at least $200-300 over the years - but never for gear. Devil's advocate or no, I don't feel like I should need to state that as if it were some sort of…

The F2P model doesn't have to be held hostage to game-breaking gear. As I said previously, PWI's entire first year was supported, and profited from, without packs or rep in the cash shop. They had mostly cosmetic items (fash, mounts, flyers, smilies) and reasonably-priced convenience items (storage extenders, teleport…
