  • Hurr durr. Of course people will buy tons more, because it's a sale. Hence people will stock up in case prices never go down. Or buy them so they can sell them after the sale for ingame gold, even if they don't plan on using them. This proves just about nothing from a marketing standpoint.
  • Awesome plan! If only I could stand playing one for more than 5 minutes. I remember rolling one, getting that scorpion pet, and it followed me around getting stuck on things and flailing chaotically while making weird screechy sounds. OH GOD MAKE IT STOP!
  • And if they're not? I'm not going to spend 2 weeks of my life grinding only to find out my character is too expensive to play. Even if they decide to keep prices low (I utterly doubt this), it means I'm 2 weeks behind by guildees and there's no point in coming back anyway. Also, they don't NEED to 'test the waters' to…
  • To function in mid to end-game parties (lvl 60+), a cleric has to use one of his chanelled skills. Either one of those drains 100 mana per second. This adds up to 360000 mana/hour. 720000 mana/2 hours. A silver spirit hierogram (or w/e it's called now) costs 2.5$ (after the awesome sale we're getting ends) and has 520000…
  • To be honest, even if I was still playing, this move would've definately made me quit. The only thing this sale will acheive is: some people will buy alot, creating a ton of instant revenue, and they will level like crazy to take advantage of it. In 2 weeks, they assume most of the people who play a lot (hence also pay a…
  • ROFLMAO Why won't it uninstall faster ;_;
  • Guild Wars isn't F2P in the sense I'm talking about. It doesn't have a cash shop. It's a P2P game because you buy the client. The fact that it doesn't have a subscription is irrelevant.

  • Wow... (pun not intended) PW is old enough in its own right. And it reached its peak when it failed as a P2P game and had to be downranked to F2P. That speaks volumes in its own right. It had a housing system, a guild castle system, all of which were removed. Basically, PW lost content instead of gaining, whereas WoW is…

  • Edited because there's no point in making even mildly insulting 'I quit' posts. I'll be perfectly civil, because I don't care anymore. You just lost a player to overpricing. Changing the prices next month, a week from now, or even tomorrow won't bring me back.
  • Ok, so. You've got someone that hit a mob before you did. Yeah, sure you were 'charging' whatever you were, but fact is, monster was still there at full hp. I don't expect people to rotate their camera 360 degrees every time they go for a mob, just to make sure nobody is 'charging' to hit it. And you mentioned how that…
  • What blows my mind is how this could have happened. It's a script that runs through a database, compares 2 integers and modifies another. How do you get this wrong? Seriously, I'm curious how you can possibly go wrong with that? It's like mixing flour and water and getting cyanide. I wasted alot of my free time getting to…
  • Way to go, no wonder nobody was getting replies. GG.
  • Dear mods: Next time you stealth edit my posts to remove criticism (and humor), please don't butcher my grammar. Thanks.
  • I'm glad to see that the admins are tuned in to the opinions and needs of their userbase, and have provided us with a fun event that everyone can participate in to win. This is in line with the wonderful public relations our admins have displayed so far, and it definitely shows their dedication towards improving this game…
  • Wait, so you waste time posting on the forums because your level 3 character is stuck? You are level 3. THREE. It takes 5 minutes to get a char to level 3. In the time you wasted on this thread you could've been level 10. Seriously, what?
  • Well, as someone pointed out, Archosaur is the name from Pw-Ph. They took mob names from Pw-My which had atrocious translations compared to Pw-Ph, and the one thing they translated right, ADC, was taken from Pw-Ph instead. It's like they cross-referenced the two versions to find the worst possible translations and copy…
  • Yes, Wellspring Surge lvl 1 is a prerequisite to Revive. In fact, the only one that isn't a prerequisite for the skills I listed as primary or secondary is Razor Feathers. Anyway, you can check how it all adds up by going to your skill list. Somewhere in the bottom-right corner is a ">>" symbol with the tooltip "Skill…
  • I am the carebear of my RageQuit Flowers are my body and purple is my blood I have created over 600 posts Unaware of heterosexuality Nor aware of manliness Withstood gayness to troll many players Waiting for open beta I have no regrets, this was the only path My whole life was UNLIMITED TERRORIST WORKS! Full version.
  • While you were living in a cave, people agreed on this freedom of speech thing. I know it sounds alien, but do your best to grasp it.
  • Sockets - you are correct. Xenobeast blood - you are correct. Reputation NPC - near general Summer. Reputation is used to purchase high quality gear. Darkness stamps from higher level dungeons have higher reputation gains. You may also get them from monsters in wraith invasion events. I don't remember not getting a quest…
  • Learn to play.

  • It does seem more like a retail game. Because it used to be. It was subscription based back in China, but it failed. So it got downgraded to cash shop, got features (housing) stripped out, PvE encounters were unbalanced so people would buy hierograms. It's sad that they chose to ruin it this way instead of working on some…
  • Both characters regenerate their vigor/chi. But I doubt anybody would care about that at this level. So yes, they were being weird. Or if they could fly, they wanted to drop you over something 3 times your level.
  • Spark Ignition won't show up in your skill tree because it's a general skill that all classes can get, much like manufacturing and town portal. You can purchase the skill by getting to level 29 and doing your cultivation quest.
  • Precisely. And it's not necessarily because mages take less damage compared to their HP pool. Let's think of this situation: You have a 700 hp mage that gets hit for 300. He can take 2 hits and then he's dead. You have a 2500 hp werebeast that gets hit for 600. He can take 4 hits before dropping. Who is going to be the…
  • Yes. I had this problem in My-en and it's one of the main reasons I quit. I expected it wouldn't happen here due to better latency, but it still does. And not just me. I've seen a cleric dueling and healing his enemy by mistake, that's one of the things that also tends to happen. I've partied with clerics and noticed them…
  • Ok, so I was wrong. Back on My-en I thought Detector was actually Defector. Why, because it made more sense. Detector belongs in Starcraft, not in a fantasy mmo. So what do you know, both My-en and PW:I have the same translation: Eldergoth Detector. And as the mods made it oh-so-obvious, they've been translated…
  • Yes, it is a VERY nasty thing to say. Because they just did a VERY nasty thing, by all ethical standards. As I said, let's take that particular mob: Eldergoth Detector. You might say I'm fixated with it and it's just a name, but it was the first thing that caught my eye. I started playing and I could tell those…
  • Instead of having huge baww threads complaining about translations, take a second to think why the names are what they are. Why did they come up with such ludicrous, nonsensical names, when they could have went for either a complete westernization or kept the chinese feel. And this is why: THIS IS NOT A TRANSLATION. THIS…
