Simple solution : either they change the cap to 1000 instead of 500, or they make it so that the system auto-removes characters that haven't been inside NR after one week. I know for sure that some toons that are able to go there aren't even being played anymore. But they still take up that space. I'm in there with my main…

Northern Realm is supposed to be a PK zone where players fight over resources and area's on the map. But as expected, this doesn't work on a server where you have mainly pvE players. IF the biggest faction (the one with the most OP players) would move to another side, then you'd have another problem : - some players of the…

"....is there even a point?" No. No there isn't. Not with the numbers as they are now. The only reason to go into NR is to do either your daily 'escort' or show up at the event(s) to get the auto-reward in merit & blade tokens. You just need to be in the vicinity of the event. NR is supposed to be a pkzone, but there is…

The strongest class ? Well this is calling for a hefty discussion.... To be honest, ANY class can be considered 'strongest', it all depends from your point of view and wether or not you're viewing it from a pvP or pvE perspective. Let's put it this way : any class that is currently wearing G17 gear and wields a G17 weapon…

Maybe a late response, but here's a tip : Do NOT do the daily quest you get at the npc. That way, you can participate (or just be in the vicinity) in 2 (two) Events/day. That will give you 100 contribution and 2x the reward(2 events). On tuesday there is no quest/event, except for the Tundra Campaign. HOWEVER : If you take…

I'm 100% sure that the player that killed doesn't have G17 pants, only R9. That being said, even in instances blue named players can be (and will be) killed by white named players. That is because in china they do not have non-Pk servers and you can be pk'd in any instance like FSD/J/IU/DH/UCH. and since our version takes…

Well, here is something new : One of our BLUE-named faction members goes into ulfgard and gets killed by a player who is NOT visible on the map, who is NOT visible in the "nearby players" list, and who is NOT a sin. Now explain to me : 1. how can a player kill another without being in stealth, and not show up in the nearby…

That's not exactly true. Most players in the factions i'm in are mostly pvE players who charge on a weekly or monthly basis, myself included. The few die hard pvper's in those factions do not spend much more then the rest of us, they're just focused on different gear and a different gameplay experience. that's their…

I know that on certain times a specific group of players is online and in the 'pvp zone' killing blue named players. Once they're off to bed or at times when they're not online, players of my own faction(s) are timing their ulfgard to be done at that time, just to avoid all the drama involved. As far as faction animosity…

The chinese servers have heavy botting and will continue to have it in some form or another. That is because unlike us, the chinese player 'grinds' for his coin, and the easiest way to do that is by...botting. And every time the chinese dev's adapt their game, it affect us, who don't have that kind of problem. At least not…

There are many things that are different between our servers and those in china. They have events that we don't have, we have gear/items they don't have , they had, at a certain point, thousands of bots running in their game (hacks) that we didn't. Fact is, the mentality of the Western players is completely different from…

I wouldn't just throw those away, you can always use em on alts (if you have those) until you can get better ones. I upgraded one of my alts with these, and it does help a lot, esp since they're 'free'. I don't see myself spending 200M on vit stones for an alt i rarely play....

"you seem like a nice fella with a lot of in-depth knowledge of PWI, PWCN and business in general." I'm old enough to have played many mmo's over the last couple of decades, i've been a GM in a few games, and i know how a F2P business model works. I've seen mmo's go down because of different reasons, mismanagement, lack of…

The fact that you can pk blue named players is an unintended glitch/bug. A pvE server will never become a pvp server, so disregard any rumours about that floating around and instigated by some players. I suspect that with the next (small) expansion this glitch/bug will be fixed. I also suspect that those who abuse this…

From what i understand, on the server i play on, which is a PvE server, some players (only a handful) especially go to the pk zone and stay there to pk others doing their quest. Their main interest is to harass others and less into their quest. Their names are very well known in worldchat and nearly every day someone (or…

The only way to get gold coins (legit) is : - selling items from boutique to other players - farming mats and selling those to other players - selling items through catshop - charging gold : either selling gold or selling items from boutique/packs/etc. The current system allows players to get silver coins from doing…

well, for one, i've seen several toons equipped with morai/qsm gear, and i suspect those toons are new(er) players or the occasional players that don't have the time to farm WS for their G16 or for the expensive R9. On our server the price of a simple R9 piece runs in the hundreds of millions of Gold coins, and there is no…

Well, considering that they'll introduce a new coin system, there are going to be some changes :smile: The new coin system will exist out of 3 currency's : (i give em special names to make the diff clear) silver : the coin you can only use to purchase items from npc's, do repairs....etc etc. This is a NOT tradable…

Well, i can vote, but no input of limit. I don't think anything will change by increasing the limit to be honest. Ppl who have coin will pay up for gold, but prices of items will automatically increase. Which will push away the low finance players. In the end you'll be stuck with the very very rich(ingame), and the few…

Personally, i love the changes on archers & techs. Techs reduction in cast time and channel time will increase their total dmg output, and with bosses being nuked a lot, they can fire off more dmg in that short amount of time. 0.6s cast time and 0.1s channel ? That's pretty dang fast. Bang bang bang, you're dead.

Imo, purely from different perspectives, i divide 'endgame' into diff. categories : 1. endgame PvE : - affordable : G16+12 set with some nice rings (g16, maybe even g17) and ornaments. - for most not affordable or pretty expensive : R9R3/R4 + G17 ornaments 2. endgame PvP : - usually R9R3 or R4 refined +12 - full G17 set…

I use a G16 set refined +12 for both my Archer and Tech. Archer has g16+12 weapon, Tech has R8r3+12 weapon with spirit blackhole on it. I don't do Pvp because it's really not worthwhile going up against G17+12 toons (of which there are some now) that can 1 shot most players (some even 1-shot barbs....). Truth be told, at…

PWI is like a tv show that's been running for 11 years. You'll be sad when it ends someday (just like GoT for some) , but when it's over, you'll move on to the next show. Which might just be much better and more to your liking. I just feel sorry for the ones that'll have spend thousands on the game without having something…

Not working on G17 gears, and that for a few reasons : - you need to be lvl 105 to use the gear - it's very very time consuming and/or it costs a lot to make - the benefits do not outweigh the cost in time and coin Pwi is the only one that has their version of R9 gear. That gear is more then sufficient to play the game and…

Unless it's an MBH, not a lot of ppl run the 'harder' instances, and those that do are usually well geared already (top 5%) and are doing it for the coin. Same goes for TTR, players don't see the point in running a lot of those, since there is a majority that sees no benefit in going G17 (there isn't really) since the…

My oldest char, 9/9/2009, a cleric, just recently got his demon culti done (i know...demon, but that was my choice at that time), finally after 10 years with some gaps in between. The game is addictive and keeps fascinating due to the constant changes over the years. Not all of the changes are good though. There's the…

"...There's a pretty large supply of C Packs and not much demand for them right now. ..." It's not just that they're not in demand, it's the prices that are pretty insane. I started a new char a couple of weeks back, and i'm not that stupid to spend millions on C-cards to feed to A or even S cards at those high prices.…

Came back to the game a few weeks back, catching up on things takes a while. Started one of the newer classes, Technician. - love the tech gameplay and skills, good dmg output, low(er) dmg rate, great AoE skills. - limited in weapon choices : either R9, Warsoul or G17, before that you're rather limited - doing the primals…

Decompose any S/S+ card to get war avatar artifact(s) , add enough soulforge's, and make another S/S+ card of your choice. As far as imperial spirit goes : you need to have the Neuma portal set in order to do that. If you do have the set, then you need the same items (artifact+soulforge's) to make and infuse the imperial…

I came back a couple of months ago after a year break and jumped back in again doing dailies and instances. A few things i noticed stayed the same or even got worse : - it takes a very long time to farm for any gear worthwile using, even only for pvE. Going rank means you need a LOT of WS badges or find some other way to…
