Perfect World PH Tideborn: First Day Impressions

Perfect World PH's latest update was announced a long time ago and now it's here! Here are just some impressions of what I got.

Perfect World PH Client

If you downloaded the new client and patch before the start of the Tideborn patch then everything would be ok. It was already stated before that downloading the new client was much more easier than patching the old one on the patch day. Therefore there were lots of complaints both on the Perfect World PH Facebook page and forums on how slow their patches were going. Lesson learned: Read and follow instructions given by the GMs.

There were no problems running the client. Compared to Runes of Magic PH, running the Tideborn client was a breeze. It just shows that Level Up! Philippines really took time to ensure the client is error free before running it. Kudos to the prep team!

In-game

Lag was not a factor! There were some lag spikes but they were very minimal, considering that there were a lot of characters moving at the same time and there were a lot of loots on the ground. Normally it would be a lag fest but there wasn't much of it.

Mob spawn time was excellent! On first days such as these, the number of players would overwhelm the mobs that it would be extremely hard to find one that's still alive to kill (reminds me of my time at Allods where players would fight over mobs). After one monster dies, a new one would appear within 2 seconds! It made finishing quests and leveling up easier and faster!

So there it is! Now, it's time to go back to Perfect World PH!

Perfect World PH: Tideborn Patch Day on July 21!

It's been confirmed that Perfect World PH will have its Tideborn patch on July 21!

You've been waiting for the rise of the legendary race of Pangu that once walked the lands and fought for their freedom. Now, the barrier that separates the World to their home will be shattered on 21st day of the month of July, year of the Tiger.

The Rise of the Tideborne will happen on the July 21, 2010 - Wednesday.

You got a few days to search, collect, and finalize the build for your Assassin or Psychic!

Perfect World PH Tideborn client ready for download!

Here's what all Perfect World PH players are waiting for: The Tideborn client is ready for download! However, the GMs are asking that you don't install them right away.

After making sure that all the files are inside the same folder (example: C:/Perfect World Installer), leave it and DON'T INSTALL until Patch Day on July 2010.

There it is folks: Tideborn comes on July 2010.

For those asking why a new client rather than an auto-patch, here's what LUG have to say about it:

...you can use autopatch on the day itself but due to many players downloading at the same time, it would be best to download it now.

Instructions and details on where to download the client here

SEE YOU THERE!

Perfect World PH: Coming Tideborn Patch FAQ

It's been a long time since I've written anything about Perfect World, and it's because of Allods Online. With the whole debacle on the Cash Shop and Fear of Death, I've decided to check out an old stomping ground: Perfect World PH.

Good thing though as Perfect World PH's GM Sam Hok has posted a Tideborn FAQ on the forums:

When will this Expansion be available in the Philippines?
A: It will be this Summer after the Misty City Update. So really Soon.
Will the level cap increase?
A: No. The level cap will not increase with the Rise of the Tideborne.
Will there be new territories for Clans to battle for?
A: Yes. Mayroon po.
Will Psychic and Assassin be multi-gender like the Humans? Or will they be restricted like the Beastkind?
A: The new Tideborn classes will be multi-gender.
What kind of flying mounts will the Tideborn use?
A: The Tideborn will use a new set of wings exclusive to their race.
Will the Party limit still be 6 players?
A: Yes. Even though the total number of classes is being raised to 8, we still feel that a squad of 6 is ideal for group type content. (dungeons, raids, etc...)
Will there be new quests/content for high level players or only new quests for Tideborn 1-19?
A: There are some new quests for all existing classes, as well as the quests for Tideborn 1-19.
Will there be an underwater dungeon?
A: There will of course be new content that takes place underwater. At release there will not be an underwater dungeon, but that doesn't mean that it isn't in the update pipeline.

Will DEFINITELY check these classes out when they come to PH shores!

Perfect World Ph Extends Its Help to Typhoon Victims

Being one of its victims, Typhoon Ketsana (Ondoy in the Philippines) and Parma (Pepeng in the Philippines) really did a bad number on the Philippines. Me and my family were submerged up to our chests and found it hard to survive on a day to day basis.

It's good then that people in the gaming community have decided to do their part in helping out. One of them is Level-up Games. One of their projects is SOS for Ondoy and Pepeng Victims. All you need to do is get online and buy the Ondoy Relief Package (contains 5 pieces of fireworks) for PHP5.00 only.

Here's my little tribute to the victims.

All proceeds of this firework will go directly to Gawad Kalinga.The item will be available until November 6, 2009.

Perfect World Beijing Releases Tideborn Images and Video!

I was totally wrong on all the images. LOLZ!!!

The Perfect World Chinese server has just released images of the new Tideborn race and its classes: the Psychic and the Assassin.

Ubuntu for the Philippines

Some of the reasons why most computer users in the Philippines don't even want to touch Linux is because it's too hard to learn and that they can't play their favorite games on it. All I can say to that is poppycock!

I want to convince the internet shop owners and business owners out there that you don't need to resort to paying huge amounts of money to Microsoft or resort to practicing installing hacked Windows (that are just as dangerous since they hardly get updated and thus open to security and malware problems) just to get online or use a computer.

• MS Office vs. Open Office/Google Docs: Both MS Office and Open Office are virtually the same in every aspect that the only difference between the two is the price: paid vs. free. Even the updates are free, so no more buying the next MS Office update...

• Getting online: some people are still scared whether Ubuntu will get them online, but I promise you, it's even easier and faster to get online with this OS than it is with Windows. Regarding browsers, there's a Linux version of it whatever may it be.

• Typing in commands: some users I know suddenly get squeamish at the first site of the Terminal. I admit I was one of those folks but you get used to typing in commands. Plus, there are a lot of resources out there that provides step by step instructions on how to deal with the Terminal, so don't fret.

• Games: A lot of people are afraid of losing their games when they switch to Ubuntu and that's understandable. Not all games can be played with Ubuntu, but those that are worth it does! For example, I have been playing the following MMOs since I transferred to Ubuntu:

• Perfect World Ph
• Zhu Xian Online (Jade Dynasty)
• Red Cliff
• EVE Online
• Guild Wars
• World of Warcraft

I'm planning to try out Runes of Magic Ph on Ubuntu as soon as it goes to CBT.
To see the complete list of other Windows games that play on Ubuntu via Wine better check out this database.

Here are just some online guides on my current fave ph mmorpgs:

So there you have it. I hope to see more Ubuntu users in the future!

I Won A Perfect World iPod Nano!

After a long time of absence due to both Typhoon Ketsana and Parma hitting the Philippines, it's time to get back online!

I wrote about the latest Perfect World Ph (PWPh) update a few weeks ago as an entry to the blogging contest that Level Up! was having, and guess what? I won the grand prize!

I was supposed to pick it up today, but unfortunately I suffered some injuries during the flood last week that hasn't healed yet. Let's just say that open wounds submerged under sewage water for a whole day is not good for your health...

Hopefully I can get it next week and post some shots with the LUG crew.

Perfect World Philippines: Lost Empire Update

Disclosure: this post will be included in the Perfect World Blog Contest. Heck, if you're in the Philippines, you might as well join and stand to win an iPod Nano! More info here.

Level Up's Perfect World Philippines (PW Ph) finally got the update that most of its players wanted for a long time--Perfect World: Lost Empire.

Features included in this update below:

Perfect World Ph Celebrates Lost Empire Update!

Level Up Philippines have just announced that Perfect World will have a x1.5 modification on exp, item drops, and Soul. So for those who who want to level up quickly , and get rich faster in PW should log in everyday from Sept. 8 to 6PM of Sept 23.

Party or Die

I was there when the RPG movement shifted from the board to game consoles. Back then, the game only had one hero: you--everybody else was just a support. It was easier to know who had to do all the work as well. LOL.

RPG Console mindsets have to go

With the rise of MMORPGs players were introduced to parties. That meant sometimes taking a backseat or supportive role to those in the frontline. That didn't sit well with me during the early years, therefore I didn't join the bandwagon then.

Eventually, the games got to me, and decided to be a damage dealer (DD). Unfortunately that meant lots of grinding and time was not on my side then (I was in College). In short, I was a new fish in a tank full of veteran whales. Learning the ropes as soon as possible would save you from a lot of scamming and grinding.

With Perfect World, I can safely say that I've learned enough to leave the mindset of being an RPG console player to an MMORPG one. Although I now play a DD, that hasn't stopped me from getting into party with other players, whether they be clanmates or not.

Have party, will quest

There a lot of quests that require you to go to locations where aggressive (aggro) monsters are. In this case, I would check if my clanmates (clannies) were online and request them for help. In the same sense that any of them require help from their quest, I'd go there too. It's a mutual relationship if you go into a clan.

However, turning down some party requests is an option. Cases like this is a very good point.

Partying with other players is a way to make your MMORPG experience grander. See you in Pangu!

New Perfect World Philippines site launched!

This morning, Level Up! Philippines unveiled it's new Perfect World website.

More than an eye-candy update

A few months ago, when Firefox was updated to version 3, Perfect World's site went bonkers. All FF3 users were unable to click on any labels on the site. They resorted to use Internet Explorer as a browser to view the site. The webmaster seems to have found a way to make some of the links work but you had to resort to click on the links at the top of the page.

With the new site, everything seems to have been resolved regarding the FF mess. Regarding IE, it seems to work flawlessly, albeit a bit slower for the page to finish.

It has potential

The site uses Adobe Flash Player and it may prove that it's both a strength and weakness at the same time. Because of the software, there is more eye-candy to look at. I especially liked the spinning disco ball effect on the header.

However, it may cause some problems. For instance, as I've mentioned above, it takes time for the page to load properly. If you have a slow connection it may take you a minute or so to fully appreciate the site. I also suggest to ensure that the viewer's Adobe Flash Player be updated to ensure consistency.

Design is queen

The dark theme really makes it more readable and I totally applaud them for that compared to the old Ragnarok site, where it was mostly bright white.

Most of the pictures were taken from the old site and there really isn't anything new to look at. It would be nice to see some new scans in this department as we have been looking at the same ones since the old site.

Content is king

What's a site, if it doesn't provide you any information to read? A photoblog. Fortunately, this ain't one and it proves that it is always updated.

In the end...

...all that matters is that it's updated and chock-full of information to a Perfect World player, and in this case with the contribution of various longtime Perfect World meisters, it just makes the site even more special.

Returning to Pangu

Going Back

It's been a long time since I posted here, because I was very much involved in my past MMORPG, but had some technical problems with it.

In the meantime, I have to confess that I have been falling in-love with another one: Perfect World. I didn't have such a great time the last time due to some fashion problems, but now I seem to be doing better at this game.

Clans, Crafted Items, and Ingot Trading

Nevertheless, my character has now joined a clan, leveled to 23, and has some wicked crafted items. One of the coolest things I've discovered in this game is the Gold Ingot trading. Unlike other games where you're required to earn money in-game and use another currency to buy items from the Item Mall, this game ensures that you'll always have enough money to buy items from the NPCs and from the Item Mall.

It's a bit complicated if you're a newbie like me. So I'll direct you to the site who taught me how to be rich in-game.

Now I'm 900k Yuen richer, yahoo!
