Which is fair enough. I gather you're probably more into the grindy Asian type MMOs where getting that new tier of gear is a reward in itself. And as I said that's fine. It just shows there is something out there for everyone. b:cute

Eh... the MMO in question is designed in such a way that once you reach end game, everyone is supposed to be more or less on equal footing gear wise. Thus... particularly in PVP... individual skill comes into play more. I know that's not going to be everyone's cup of tea but judging by the fact that after three years the…

I believe it is. Xainou's sig reads, "Outrunning centaurs since 2012" The game launched in that year (with much hullabaloo on these forums about how it was gonna "kill" PWI) and Centaurs play a prominent role in the lower level areas (depending on what race you spawn). Of course I could be wrong. Only she knows for sure.…

Free to Play and Pay to Win are not mutually exclusive in MMOs. In fact, 90% of P2W games are also F2P (no subscriptions)... thats how they make their profits. Pay to Play MMOs on the other hand tend not to be Pay to Win since the monthly subs tend to guarantee everyone equal footing.

These forums have now sunk so low that it's just about guaranteed that in every thread where posters give informative and polite answers to an OP's questions/complaints about the game, there is bound to be that one ***hat who trolls just because he can. Hey Mods, didn't the CM give you guys expanded powers or something to…

Yeah... and that would also delve with the QQ over in the Chinese forums as well. They must be thousands of people who have invested just as much in the game (in time, if not money) as those players in the western markets... and they know the writing is on the wall as far as updates, bug fixes, and new content for the…

Nope. Some people really do hate skill shots. b:chuckle

No it will not be the kind of "static" battle field" you get in PW's TW where your team can focus fire individual threats. But so what ? In place you now have dynamic moving battle field where everyone is constantly on the go (no stationery rooting of players while they line up their nukes b:pleased) and a specific group…

Well just so you guys know... you're a dying breed. b:chuckle The reason so many other MMOs are moving to "dynamic combat" is because the (typically younger) player base is clamoring for it... or else all newer MMOs would still be stuck with the antiquated "activate skills while rooted in place" targeting mechanism, while…

He's right though in that you aren't hearing the same mainstream noise over Swordsman as you are with the other big MMOs include one soon to be released. Could have something to do with the reputation of the "publisher" involved, perhaps ? b:spit

Oh really ? You are accusing the CM of lying based on what ? Your "non-scientific" poll on hypered FC's popularity ? I get that a lot of the veterans see hypers in FC as the devil's work in PWI and mainly responsible for destroying the game. But that doesn't come even close to making you the majority... particularly in the…

Well if you had bothered to "count" the number of posts earlier in this thread of players giving evidence of getting zero drops after a certain amount of time has passed, you could have saved yourself the bandwidth and the rest of us the headache of reading your ridiculous rant. Just a few from the first page alone. b:bye

You know this doesn't make any sense, right ? Previously you could bot 24hrs a day with ALL your toons. Now you have to alternate between who has earn time and who who doesn't. That automatically = less coins.

Correction on your Seeker statement. Their skill "Ion Spike" debuffs metal resistance and thus this skill should become nearly useless now for the same reasons you gave for Wizzies... unless I'm missing something ?

Of course you are entitled to your opinion. And I would support your right to an opinion above all else since if you aren't allowed one, then I am not allowed an opinion either, and we can't have that, can we ? So having gotten that out of the way, my opinion is that YOU are a moron for insulting and belittling an entire…

While your post is quite well thought out and rational, I'm sure some elitist will still pass by any minute now and call you a "moron" for choosing to spend your hard earned money the way you want to. b:chuckle Good luck !

LOL... you do know you called the people whose spending helps to keep the servers running just so that those who what to play MMOS but can't afford to pay and/or want to go the F2P route, "morons" right ? You are aware as well that it is because of the spending of cash shoppers which allows people like you to no-life the…

So say a guy makes seven figures a year. He is able to do so through the dint of a quality education, hard work and the wherewithal to grasp opportunities when they come by. During the little spare time he has, he enjoys MMOS and happens upon this game. Thinks the PVP (which is the main reason he plays MMOs, by the way) is…

Exactly. Some people need to take off the rose tinted glasses when taking a stroll down memory lane. b:shutup

And yet they have stopped advertizing the game alltogether, ignored long standing bugs while providing minimal support, and in general adopted a "don't care" attitude while the in game economy goes to hell. Sounds like the treatment of a flagship game to you ? I also think talk of players still throwing obscene amounts of…

Tell me... do you honestly think PWE see's this as their "flag ship" game anymore ? It takes more than the game title being the same as the company name to be awarded that status you know. b:avoid

Agreed. From PWE's point of view... what use to their bottom line are the long-term fully geared R999 uber merchants who can pretty much afford to gear up their alts without charging a lick of zen ? Same for the long-term cash shoppers who have all now reached a point where they have just about everything the game has to…

Wow, dat link. b:shocked Where have all your server's cash shoppers gone ?

Even though they may have the ability to do so, I somehow doubt any Mod on here would want to edit the community manager's post without his express permission. :-)

On the contrary... that post was a "win" if only for the irony factor. b:laugh

This. Their recent actions in the boutique shop alone confirms PWE's apparent belief that the tolerance level of their remaining player base is fairly high when it comes to things like this. They know that casuals have probably already abandoned ship leaving only the hardcore players some of whom threaten to quit after…

OK fair enough... let me rephrase it another way. IMO those who consider PVE to be their end game are far more likely to get bored (or at least complain there is no end game) than someone who sees PVP as end game. Even PVP course can become boring and repetitive though if someone does it often enough.

Spoken like a true PVE carebear. b:chuckle "End game" for most MMOs (including the one you mentioned which Kossy somehow missed... he must be on vacation !) is PVP... since PVE tends to get repetitive to a point with same dailies and dungeons over and over, while gear usually ends up outstripping the mobs and/or bosses…

Uh Oh... b:avoid

HaHa... not true. G16 +7 gear is considered "mid game" at best yet with that you can still face roll nearly all of PVE excluding maybe a couple of instance dungeons.
