PWI Wings of Rebirth/Patch Notes

New Classes
Two brand new classes are now available, making a total of 14 characters on PWI's roster!


 * Technician: The Technician is a genius fighter, using cutting edge technology such as traps and cannons to completely control the battlefield. A female-only Human class.
 * Edgerunner: The Edgerunner is a winged warrior blessed by the heavens, feared by many on the battlefield for his mastery of both physical and magical combat arts. A male-only Winged Elf class.

These new classes are created separately to the old ones; click "Switch Scene" to swap between the older and newer character creation interfaces.

The new classes will default to detailed models but can also be changed to older models. Currently detailed models cannot be customized; this will be added in a future update. To change your character to the older model, log into the game and uncheck the "Detailed" checkbox from the System Settings window (accessed by pressing the U key). After doing this, relog and you will be able to customize your character as normal.

Twilight Temple Revisited Part 2
This dungeon uses a Moon Ode Order as an entry ticket; the same entrance ticket as Twilight Temple Revisited Part 1. Players who have reached Reawakening II LV100 and Shifting Sky I can use their Moon Ode Order to choose to either enter Part 1 or Part 2.

When activating the dungeon the squad leader can choose Part 2 to enter it.

Twilight Temple Revisited Part 2 is not a single linear process. Beside the boss monsters Illusion Nemen, Princess of Moonlight, and Chungyun, players also need to choose one from the two groups of boss monsters: Yi the Earthquake and Yi the Mighty Wing, or Prince Chongming and Yen Longwind, and defeat them. Currently only Yi the Earthquake and Yi the Mighty Wing can be selected to challenge. The other group, Yen Longwind and Prince Chongming will be added in a future update.

Different boss monsters yield different loot. Players can choose to challenge the boss monsters that yield the items they need.

When fighting the final boss Princess of Moonlight, there is a hidden phase that players can trigger to summon the Frenzied Princess of Moonlight. The result of the challenge determines the final rewards.

Defeating bosses in this dungeon will award players with Twilight Warsoul materials for the third cast upgrade. Other rewards include Twilight Souls and Moonlight Crystals. Moonlight Crystals can only be acquired from the Frenzied Princess of Moonlight, and can be fused into a Twilight Soul with a Lunar Phase Grade to add extra attributes to Twilight Warsoul Gear.

New titles have been added. Players can win relevant Titles by reaching the required Insight Points. They can also win fixed color dance Fashion, Boss Transformation Cards, and new Footprint Appearances by completing key story quests or chapters.

Growth Guide
The Growth Guide system contains two parts: Growth Goals and Game Tutorial.

Growth Goals
Growth Goals serve as guidance for players from entering this world to finding their way around; These goals are grouped every 10 levels. Each group puts forward a series of goals for the players to complete. Players can scroll between these levels on the left side of the Growth Goals window.

Players can enter the Growth Goals menu by clicking the lotus icon next to their avatar to view the goals that are currently available. They can click these goals to quickly access the related features. If the lotus is not available, it can also be found in the Quest menu to the bottom-right of the screen. When there is an available reward or a new goal, there will be a prompt.

The goals that have been completed and rewards that are available will be floated to the top. The rewards include Reputation and certain tradable items. The details can be viewed in the Growth Goals menu. Completed goals with the rewards collected will be moved to the bottom of the list.

Game Tutorial
The Game Tutorial merges various tutorial and help features, accompanied with image demonstrations, items sources, NPC auto-pathing, feature shortcuts, and more.

All new and old players will be included in the new game guide system when the update is live. For Perfect World veterans, they may find a lot of completed goals with rewards available. However, there may still be some corners of the world that they have not explored. They can choose to follow the goals to make up for what they missed.

Game Engine Update
We have updated our engine by adding new texture and other next-gen visual effects.

When the game is updated, the option "Detailed Model" will be added and enabled by default; players can also disable it in the Settings. When Detailed Model option is enabled, the game will use new next-gen art resources for certain character models, gear, hairstyle, and other visual elements, presenting richer and more realistic visual details.

Due to the great technological leap, the existing gear and fashion can only be displayed on old display models; when the Detailed Model option is enabled, they will not be displayed. Currently, the technician and edgerunner classes, certain gear and fashion pieces for the two new classes are supported in Detailed Model mode.

We will continue to add support for more characters and various visual elements, to give our players an enhanced experience in regards to visual, animation, and game controls.

64-bit Client
The game now has a 64-bit client. The memory limit of 32-bit operating system has an impact on the game's presentation and stability, so a 64-bit system has become the industry standard and the primary choice for most users. 64-bit programs will not be able to run on a 32-bit operating system, while both 64-bit and 32-bit programs can run on a 64-bit operating system.

With this update, the game client will attempt to detect the user's system and automatically choose to run in 32-bit or 64-bit mode respectively. If you are using 64-bit operating system but still want to run the 32-bit game client, you can also configure manually to do so.

If you experience issues when logging into the game in 64-bit mode, you can try to update your DirectX.

Quests
In this expansion, several quest lines have been adjusted and optimized. The quest window and interface have also been optimized, with a first perspective to match the new UI, showing a more immersive mainline story. This first perspective is only available for main quests.


 * Many quests from the Unique Rewards system have been moved to Growth Goals. The Unique Rewards system is no longer used.
 * Players can now get a Homestead at level 70 with no reputation or cultivation requirements. The quest line to acquire a Homestead has been removed; players can now get their Homestead from Vyn Yen, the Warrior in west Archosaur. If you do not receive certain Homestead items or need to restart the Homestead, these quests can be taken from Vyn Yen, the Warrior or from Vedas in Lothranis.
 * Homestead daily mastery quest difficulty has been reduced, with target monsters adjusted.
 * Bosses from Valley of Disaster, Wraithgate, Hallucinatory Trench, Eden, Brimstone Pit, Seat of Torment, and Abaddon can now be found outside their dungeons on the main map and will count towards quests when killed.

Bosses

 * Harpy Wraith has had her health reduced from 15m to 1.5m. She also respawns every few minutes instead of after every server maintenance.

Events
