Valentines special - Patch V23

 

We might be late on this one, but we decided to still have a special patch for all the loving ones!

Evolved's Valentines event, is mainly for couples - married players. We are hoping that it will cause a lot of players to do the final step, and confess their love to each other, fighting afterwards side by side against the various Bosses specially chosen for the Valentines Special

Cubi Trading System

 

We are glad to announce, that we have made something possible, that you all wished for a long time, and a lot Perfect World players wished for nearly 10 years now.

We managed to re-work the function of Cubi Gold and that way made it not only function like Event Gold Boxes, but also trade-able!

Yes you heard right, after the next Patch, you will be able to trade Cubi with your friends, to Gift Cubi to your friends and overall use Cubi Gold as a fully functional Trading Item!

The GIF below will display how it works, but it's quite selfexplaining. The Cubi Gold is available as 1x Cubi Gold, 10x Cubi Gold and 100x Cubi Gold Boxes, which can be purchased and then simply traded for other goods and then very easily, by right clicking, added back to the Shop of the Gold Box owner.

How the system works:

 

 

Rank 9 Weapons

(Never released - Official)

We have always wondered, why classes like BM or Archer never got their full spectrum of different weapons, that actually are different in terms of mechanic, speed or function. Especially in the case of Blademaster, which skills are based upon 4 different weapon types:

• Fists - Claws
• Spear
• Sword
• Axes (Available)

After checking our files, we noticed that these were were available, but never released due to other things being added to the classes, like Primal skills, which would have made Blademaster way too strong. Luckily, we don't have no broken Primal skills, and therefor no reason not to include the official Rank 9 Weapons!

Blademaster - Claws (4th Cast)

Blademaster - Spear (4th Cast)

Blademaster - Blade (4th Cast)

Archer - Sling (4th Cast)

Archer - Crossbow (4th Recast)

 

All new Rank 9 weapons are implemented in the same way, as all other Rank 9 Weapons and available in form of 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Cast. Obtaining methods are retail and specific Molds were added to Warsong City.

 

Class Optimisation

 

Please read carefully: These changes are based on observation from our side as well as the playerbase and all their suggestions made during the last couple of Months. We have decided to approach the PVP balance on our own unique way and will start making direct changes to classes which will remain - Temproray for each Patch.

Depending on the performance after the Patch and everyones feedback we will then decided whether to keep certain changes or revert them to their original state! Depending on the feedback from our community, we will either move towards this direction or drop it completely.
