Some Random Pix

Well, the ones of the Spaniard bitches we made on Rackham (POTBS) didn't want to save correctly so here are some from PW instead. Right off the bat, I think the game plays worse than it did in Closed Beta but I've only put a couple hours into the OB version so far (most of which was spent trying to grow back my hands which would show up doing character creation but not in game...

But at any rate!!

Best dying message ever (received when I stole hate and got my ass handed to me by that ass wipe in the Green Shirt Tomb:


Fun with a pumpkin bolus:


I'm saving my Monkey King Boluses for a special occasion!

Perfect LAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!

Posted: Thu Dec 06, 2007 7:31 am
Dear Player, We has notice that some player are facing the lag issue during gaming. the result for this lag was from our ISP, so it's just a temporary lag or delay you might facing it. Sorry for inconvienence cause. Rgds, Devil

I hope so. Today I was able to fight a couple monsters before BAMN, kiting = waste of hierograms. *sadness* I'm starting to get withdrawal!

Ugh (But I Got A New Fake Hair Cut!)

Yesterday I made a billion cookies for a "corporate event."

So naturally, after that was all done, I treated myself to a facial!! (In PW of course--since I had gotten a transfiguration scroll from some quest taking up valuable loot space in my inventory.)


No mores stylish mullet!

Perfect World: RIP Cooch. ; _ ;

I never though the day (night?) would come, but alas, my beloved cooch is gone. Gone are the days of doing cartwheels and flashing my junk in ways that even the Grand Poomba of Cooch Britney Spears would envy.


But I hope it's only temporary and I that one day soon, I'll get my beloved slutfit back. (And so hope the thousands of Malaysians playing beside me.)

Until then, adieu, cooch, adieu.

A Moar Perfecter Perfect World? (But Not For Vista Users)

I read this post on the PW International Site about using a proxy server to alleviate lag issues from pinging about 300 to the Malaysian PW server. I've installed and set everything up according to the guide but wasn't able to test it myself yet in game but I will tell you though that when I logged in to set up a sexy cat stall, I logged in a lot faster than I normally do.

I shall experiment in game this after noon!

p.s. I think this shit works!!

Perfect World: Golden Manta Ray (Watch out Steve Irwin)

Rek got his Manta Ray mount today and in PW fashion, it was delightfully gaudy and awesomely bad.

However, the best part is when some guy was watching us take pictures and fell into the water and couldn't get out. So naturally, we called him fat and laughed.


Soon I'll have no choice but to get those terrible butterfly wings so I can look even dumber than evah. Don't be jealous.

Come on Flagship! Make your Manta-Wraiths mounts too!

Perfect World: Cubi Cubi Cubis!!

I've finally done it.

I was going to hold out and all since you don't really need to pay real money for a game like PW but I did. That's right, Daddy (Mommy?) Warbucks here spent SIX DORRAHS on PW for 20 Cubi Gold. *gasp*!! And what does that buy me?

I bought a bunch of hierograms (like an auto-pot) and some extra inventory space from the Item Mall bringing me to a grand total of...11 cubis! OMGZ!! I spent $3.60 for 40+ hours of entertainment so far (damn you XFIRE, you reveal how much of a complete loser I am.)

I must say though, I used this place called OffGamers to buy the Cubi Gold (it sounds like Kublai Khan, but its the official PW Item Mall currency), and that place was fuckin' fast with their service. Sure, I had to wait for some guy from Malaysia (maybe) to call me on my cell phone to make sure that it was a legit purchase, but within 5 min I had my precious leprechaun gold. (And no, I didn't buy gay ass "fashion" clothing.)

I think the next time I'll spend money on this game is for the mounts/wings. Thank goodness I don't drink coffee! For the price of a Starbucks Latte I could have like 50 fuckin' Cubi Coins.

And p.s. I will be purchasing a Snow Bear mount because of how absolutely ridiculous it looks. And after that (if I ever get that high before TCOS or AOC come out) the elephant!

Perfect World: Archer Fun

Normally I play a priest type of character (mainly because everyone else is too lazy to) but this time I got to be a sexah Elfkind Archer. There is so much hotness. I've only gotten to level 24 since I'm slow as all fuck, but hey, I'll get there...

One day...

And I tried to change the resolution but it never fuckin' works:

Perfect World: Open Beta Begins! (Well, began...)

Strange, but I did enjoy my time there and look forward to having something to fall back upon when my hands are too cold to frag dolphin divers.

Perfect World: Moar Delays!

Per Devil, Lead Mod of PW-MY:

New postPosted: Sun Oct 28, 2007 9:34 pm

Dear Perfect World Community,

Today I would like to update you with information regarding Perfect World.

Perfect World English will be delayed awhile, this situation has occurred due to our developer discovering a major bug during their testing period. They are working on it to fix this major issue.

We will keep track of the progress , so there is NO ETA for the launching of Perfect World.

We appologize for any inconvenience caused.

Perfect World: Mini Update

Per Devil, the Lead Mod of PW-MY.

24th Oct update:
Thank you for your patience and continued support of the game. As Devil had posted, the game did not enter Open Beta on the 19th October because it was decided that the lag/disconnect issues faced by many international players needed to be addressed.

We expect the latest patch from China to arrive on Friday the 26th of October, it will be extensively tested on Monday the 29th of October and we hope to release the patch at the end of that day IF no major bugs are found and the patch is determined to be stable. Our target is to begin Open Beta before the end of the month.

The 29th of October is NOT the release date.

Perfect World International: Open Beta Update

Per Devil, the Lead Mod:

Posted: Thu Oct 18, 2007 12:00 am

Dear Perfect World Community,

Attention, I would like to leak some information regarding the status of the Open Beta Release. The information I obtained was that we might face a delay with the Open Beta Launch. This is because the servers of Perfect World are in the process of being switched to a New IDC, this New IDC will help foreign and local players enjoy a smoother running game, hopefully without any unexpected problems.

Perfect World: First Impressions

Wow.

I'm actually impressed. I mean, come on, given the quality of F2P games out there I was actually quite pleasant surprised with PW so far. Well, other than the forced ass C-POP piped in telling me to "step into a perfect world; a place where you'll be fleeeee."

I actually got stuck in character creation (like most girls I suspect) for half an hour--I mean, even Oblivion didn't allow you to fix just "one" eye. Yeah yeah, for the most part, people don't look that different once you're on screen, and you can't make yourself fat, but at least you know you had a huge hand at making your avatar the fiercest and most gorgeous you could.

My stupid ass character:



Questing so far is pretty straight forward. Kill X many things. Collect X many things by killing X many things. Talk to Y to collect X. Combat also is 1, 2, 1, 2, with "Asian" style attacks. But I gotta admit, jumping 50 feet into the air is pretty awesome. I haven't gotten around to flying yet, but I did see someone who was and it looked pretty neat.

Oh, and this one has random mobs that blow up into a gazillion lootz! HURRAY!

Perfect World: Marriage System

It's one of the hot topics on the Official Perfect World INTL boards, and now it's been implemented. That's right! Now you and yours can seal your fates together (whilst looking lifeless may I add) in a F2P Asian grinder game.

*swoon*



According to the article, the only requirements for marriage are:

1) Players must be in a hetero couple.
2) Players must be over level 20.

*snort*

Now, I laff but yes, at one shameful point in my life I was married in a game, and a MUD to boot. But I didn't settle just for anyone. No, not me, for I managed to snag one of the Devs of the game with my uber RP skills (that's right bitches, I married up.) Then during the ceremony (dead creatures every where since we were a "Chaos" couple), he typed /k instead of /kiss and ended up doing like a bajillion points of damage to me killing me on the spot.

Needless to say, that didn't last.

Perfect World INTL: Translation Updates

Per Daemonator:

Hi guys,

I really appreciate your understanding and we really apologize for the long wait but we're really working hard on getting the game up and in at least average to good English. As such, I'm posting information on the process that is undergone for the translations for the game.

Perfect World Translation Process

Phase 1:
The Chinese used for Perfect World is very complex even for avid Chinese language users. As such, translating the text into English takes a massive amount of time and careful consideration on the meaning and final words to be used. This is very much so for the names of Places, Monsters, NPCs and certain objects. A normal Chinese game with simple and commonly used words would take about half the time or even less to translate if compared to Perfect World. I have received many comments from local Chinese gamers that even they do not understand much of the text in the game. Translators will find it very difficult to translate if they are not very familiar with the game and the storyline.

Phase 1 consists of the first level of translation which means a group of translators goes through the entire Chinese text in Excel format and delegates the sections of text to be translated. Translation of place names, NPCs and monsters is done first so that all these can be standardised for all the other sections. This is one of the most excruciating parts of the process as the translators are required to first understand the text (many of the names are not commonly used), they may need to refer to online information, books, dictionaries and more to decide the closest match to the original.

It normally takes more than 1 person to actually decide the names. The decision to use Westernised names for the NPCs was so that they would be more easily identifiable for English oriented players from a wider base. Romanised Chinese names could still confuse certain players.

This phase decidedly took longer than expected so phase 2 went ahead while Phase 1 was being worked on still.

Phase 2:
This includes the translation for the in-game message system, quests/missions, descriptions, NPC text and others. While not as complex as translating the names, the amount of text that was to be translated was massive. As in Phase 1, without a proper understanding of the game, translation would be difficult. Translators are required to go through the game at least through the earlier levels to get a feel for the game. Much of the text would only come in at the middle and advanced stages of the game where the quests would be more complex and the storyline more developed.

The total number of lines of text that were translated numbers in around 98,000+++++ including names, descriptions and all. The translators literally worked day and night with only little time to rest. The translations went through at best speed since 6 months ago. Since we did not use any other versions of Perfect World for translations, everything was done using our own resources and we tried as best we could to keep true to the original version without loss of meaning.

Every translation of the quests and storyline needed to keep true to the standard given by the pre-translated names in Phase 1 so the names were not to be confused or different from each section.

The translations for the website are also done at this stage and referenced from the translations done. This includes the storyline, guides, descriptions and more. The non in-game portions such as the guides are quality checked and corrected before going live.

Phase 3:
This part of the process includes the first quality control check as well as the translation for the in-game graphics. The in-game graphic translations include the main launcher, loading screens, buttons, menus, in-game action graphic text and more. Due to the space limitation of the graphics, the English text had to be shortened significantly and we had to employ other methods such as reduce the text size, use abbreviations and others.

The text translations are also test integrated to view the translations in-game to check the text. Each line of text that was translated had to adhere to the text space limit for each line to avoid concatenation. The text which are found to have visible errors or are out of place are modified and reintegrated to test. This portion is very time consuming and requires a lot of modification.

Phase 4:
The grammatical errors are checked and modified as necessary by the translation team. This includes the process of relocating the text to grammar correction software, checked and reinserted into the main text file. All this is done line by line to ensure everything is done properly. All this is done while adhering to the text space limit.

Up until this point, there are still ongoing changes made to the translations including place names, monster names and others. This is done after considerations on the suitability of the names for the game.

I have also asked for assistance from forum members about the correction of grammar especially in the quests section. There is a large amount of text and it needs to be understandable.

Phase 5:
At this point, most of the translations are incorporated into the test game platform and the game client itself is being tested for bugs and other client or technical related problems. There were a few major bugs but they have already been resolved during the earlier stages. Progress in this phase depends heavily upon the game developer as their assistance is greatly required in preparing the game client. Completion of this phase will provide a stable Closed Beta client for production.


The translators for Perfect World have done a great job so far in the time-frame that they have. 6 months for a project of this scale is actually quite short in comparison. They've worked hard day and night to complete what they have so far and I would like to personally thank them for their efforts. Translation from Chinese to English is not easy and there tend to be many misconceptions and lost meaning through the translations but I believe that we will achieve a fairly good amount of original content transition. Even seasonsed Chinese language users have found the Chinese used in Perfect World to be difficult to understand.

Finally I would like to thank all of you once again for your kind support and understanding. Please bear with us for a little while longer and you will have a quality product which you can definitely enjoy.

Thank you.
Daemonator

I think this means that I'll be playing this about the same time as I get let into the Hellgate: London beta. In 2038. Or worse, in 2142 (which is when the 1.4 patch is scheduled to come out.) OH SNAP!

Anyhow, I finally succumbed and have started to download the Chinese version. I tried to get the JP version to work (since at least I wouldn't have to patch that) but seems that I can't actually get into the game. *sad* Oh well, moar waiting!!
