Perfect World Entertainment PAX East Meetup
JD - The Phoenix Tower Awaits!
In a Perfect World Podcast - Episode 3
When Team Jade Dynasty isn't busily engaged trolling trolls, refining their gear to 15+ or having virtual fashion shows to see who has the 'cutest' outfit combo we sometimes lock ourselves into a room and brainstorm some wild and wooly ideas for this here, newfangled gaming thingamajig.
Please refer to the above picture for an example of our thought process at work - what great gaming wonder shall come from this garbled mishmash of smooshy circles and chicken scratch scribbling? Stay tuned for details but remember, folks - you heard it here first!
Can you brave the Pit of Champions and withstand the onslaught of a thousand enemies? The upcoming instance is a one player challenge that will test player’s skill and endurance. Players will be graded based on their number of kills, time of completion and how well they performed. Rewards will be based on your final grade.
| Only level 90+ players can jump into the Pit of Champions. You are required to have 5,000 Valor to enter the Pit. Your valor will not be consumed. Once you are ready, talk to the Dweller of Vacuity to obtain a Sword of Courage, then head over to Chauncy and enter the Pit! You can get one Sword of Courage per day. Once you are thrown into the Pit, you will have 2 hours to eliminate 100 waves of monsters. Every wave consists of 10 monsters, except the every 20th wave which is a boss. All monsters have a base attack power of 1401. Each boss will have bonus attack power. You earn points for every monster you kill. Upon completion (either through victory or at the end of 2 hours), you will get a rating based on how many points you earn. How many waves can you defeat? |  |

That's right folks, we're having a Player Meetup at PAX East in Boston Massachusetts on Saturday, March 27th. This is a meetup for all Perfect World Entertainment players and fans to come and meet each other, as well as meet Perfect World's Sam Houston (he'll be the guy in the Perfect World shirt!). Sam will be at the meetup giving out some custom postcards that we've put together for PAX East, featuring Heroes of Three Kingdoms, Forsaken World, and Battle of the Immortals.
We're meeting at Whiskey's Steakhouse at 10pm and will be hanging out until 11pm. Since Whiskey's is a bar, this is a 21+ fan Meetup (sorry!). This will be PWE's first fan meetup, and we're very excited to attend PAX East and hang out with our fellow gamers. Fans that can't make it can look forward to a follow up blog post on the PWE Blog recapping the meetup, as well as tweets from @PerfectWorldEnt on Twitter live from PAX East.
Whiskey's Steakhouse is right down the street from the Hynes Convention Center, and should take only a couple minutes to walk to from PAX. Here are the directions on Google Maps.
If you have any questions or problems, please send us an email at Fansite@PerfectWorld.com.
We hope to see you there!

Patch Notes Version 296
Released 3-16-2010
Trophy Mode
Trophy Mode Guide
Eden and Brimstone Pit
Overview
So you think your squad's hot stuff? Now's the time to prove it! Trophy Mode requires your squad to overcome your enemies in a race against time
When your squad is ready for Trophy Mode, the first thing you'll need to do is to seek out a Celestial Messenger NPC. They can be located outside the entrance of your preferred dungeon. Currently, you can choose from the following dungeons: Eden and Brimstone Pit. To begin, make sure that all the squad members are near the Celestial Messenger and have the squad leader pay the fee of 600,000 coins.
Scenarios
When you speak with the Celestial Messenger about Trophy Mode, you will be asked to choose between two types of scenarios: Shared and Greedy.
Shared - All of the Reputation earned will be split amongst all squad members.
Greedy - All of the Reputation earned will go to the squad leader.
After selecting the type of scenario that your squad wants to do, everybody will be teleported into the dungeon. Once everybody receives a Token of Trophy or Badge of Trophy (this depends on the type of scenario), it's time to start the challenge.
Goal
The goal of Trophy Mode is simple: kill as many monsters as quickly as possible. To end the challenge, your squad will need to slay the appropriate boss monster for that dungeon. The required bosses are as follows:
Eden: Phlebo
Brimstone Pit: Ethereal Abomination
Note: Killing the above bosses will end your challenge. Make sure you are ready to end the challenge before killing them!
There are a few things to keep in mind while doing Trophy Mode:
1) Do not leave the instance until after you are done with Trophy Mode. Any action that causes you to leave the dungeon, such as teleporting, dying, and logging out, will cause you to lose the Token/Badge of Trophy. This item is required to claim your reward at the end of the challenge.
2) Achieve a Combat Score of at least 10,000. If you don't reach this minimum score, your squad won't be graded.
3) The squad leader has one minute to talk to the NPC after completion. So don't waste any time if you want to reap the rewards!
4) Stick together! You won't be able to receive your rewards if a squad member is out of range. This goes hand in hand with the previous tip.
5) Remember to reset the dungeon if you want to do it again. Otherwise, your squad won't be able to collect the rewards.
Scoring
When you complete Trophy Mode, your squad will be given a final grade based on how well you did overall. The scoring criteria will be based on the following:
1) Combat Score - Monsters are assigned different point values depending on their type. Your squad will need to score at least 10,000 points to be eligible to be graded by the system.
2) Time - Speed is the name of the game. The faster you complete Trophy Mode, the better your final score will be.
Rewards
If your squad did well enough, everybody will receive a medal. The medal's quality indicates how well your squad did overall during that session. The quality of medals range from Bronze, Silver, to Gold. These can be redeemed at the corresponding Celestial Messenger for rewards.
In addition to the medals, Reputation will be distributed according to what type of scenario was chosen. In the Shared scenario, everybody receives one. But in the Greedy scenario, the squad's leader will receive all of them.
