US server?

Mud_Monster

I played on the Malaysian server, and I liked the game.  However, on the Malaysian server, I have a 300ms+ ping and 1-2sec+ of delay.  I know this isn't a big deal to some since its a mmorpg, but to me it is.  I've heard people mention that there will be a US server coming.  Does anyone have any info on that?

Wont be. Not now. Not Ever. Not Never. IF by some chance they did make one, it would be years down the line, by that time, better newer, more current games will be out WITH US servers.

Its a Chinese lore based  game made for asians, not the world. Hell, all the quests arent even translated right to English when you read them. Ill give someone 1000 dollars to find just ONE quest translated right , word for word, anywhere in this game.

They like it just the way it is, and arent changing it for anyone in North America. So youll have to play on a proxy if you want to "enjoy" this game at a reduced lag rate.(And youll still be slowest in the horse race).

And its great to lv30 or maybe 40, but after that.. youll want to pull your teeth out of your head with rusty pliers because you wont be able to get a level a day anymore. And the top level is like, 110.

A Us/English/North American version is in fact on the way, ill be one of the delayed players for this period of time. Like most people i cannot download the philippino or malaysian version of the game.

And Yes a new one is arriving.

Excuse me if I don't fully understand where you heard this. But,

Could you please reveal your source? Could you post/paste/link some document released, authorized or "rumored" by the Perfect World people?

I havent seen anything about this other than rumor boards and wishful thinking.

Although, there was this guy on one forum, claimed he had a guy in his guild that knew a guy whos dad worked for some company and said they might be starting to think about a US server and it might get here in two years.

Too much rumor, not enough fact checking, posting on stuff like this for mmos.

Well actually, there is a US server (sort of). www.gamehaze.com is a private server that has the game. Still allows asians, so you will still see chinese named characters, but everything else is in english.

Its basically just like every other Korean MMO out there, go kill 25 of this, 15 of that. Pure grind. Although the crafting system is pretty nice. Still its a cheap version of Aion. Yeah you can fly, but so can everyone else. Elven priests can do it from lvl 1. And its hardly perfect.

Yea playing the Malaysian version right now. There is a bit of combat lag, though its really fun.

I think the territory system needs to be fixed. I'm not big on timed clan only battles. Faction based would work good. They should make it  contested anytime any where, if you don't guard then you can lose your territory. Something similar to DAOC's system for territory. It works really well there.

And speed up the wing flight system, they are bird wings, they should fly faster then you can run...

If you get on top of a building and can shoot or attack a monster, he shouldn't reset hp, he should die from the attack... don't punish someone for being smart about how they use the terrain to their advantage.

 

Ranged combat should have a much larger range, so should spells. If i shoot a bow i should be able to shoot the arrow farther then 20 feet...try 150 feet to 200 feet.

Allow us to change our keyboard layout.. allow us to add more hotkey slots. the numarical hot keyslots should go  from 1 through =   

Losen up the controls and combat a little, dont make me stuck to my target when i attack, if i want to move, why not let me attack and move... or move away to cansel an attack. Better yet, add a line of sight, so that if i wanted i could run behind the Mob or player and attack him out of his line of sight. The person that uses their head has the advantage.

If i move away from a player or mob, the creature should miss me, not hit me 10 feet away with a melee hit. this type of system is very crappy  and cheap in my book and can ruin a whole game.

Allow me to click my target not my targets feet to target lock them.

Allow me to run over items on the ground to pick them up.

These tweaks and a few others should help the game a whole lot  here in North America. We Americans are extremely picky about our game mechanics and pvp content and ping performance.

I wouldn't port it over  as it is, its a waste of time.
