Only bad thing I realize is, it's not even that it needs an update. At this point I think even all the "updating" in the world couldn't fix ANGELICA! I think they should SCRAP it entirely and create a brand new engine! They could even "re-make" the same game (perfect world), but NOT using ANY version of angelica. This of course would be no easy feat as they would have to make the game all over again - from complete scratch. BUT, in game content would remain familiar (such as quests and gear, and even the maps), but they'd have to physically re make EVERYTHING - so NOTHING would be the same! (the maps, the items - the everything) because if they did it RIGHT, the OLD stuffs (IE .data files, models, etc) would NOT work at all with the new engine. NOTHING from old PW (angelica) would work with the new engine.
Sadly we know, this will NEVER happen. As they're an "eastern" based MMO company they are KNOWN (notorious actually) for creating an engine like this, then raping the shit out of it while they rake in profits! They want to minimize WORK, and maximize PROFIT. They keep the lure by "hey check out this new map" or "hey check out this new gear" or "hey check out this new race/class" - even "hey check out this new game" (WHEN IT'S STILL GOD DAMN ANGELICA). So yea, they just want to milk the cow until they can't milk it no more! They wouldn't want to have to do something like actually make something NEW (new engine for NEW games, instead of recycling (shit) angelica)!
Now that I am older and wiser, and not so new to the MMO scene I wouldn't ever think of touching ANYTHING made by PW/PWE/Wanmei EVER again! They're almost criminal IMHO (thief's)!
PW and FW went to the Shadowland 2 engine. it is NOT on angelica anymore
Are you sure? Because for me it's still like angelica... I can even prove it by hex or disassemble the elementclient if you want or just looking at the PCKs header.
EDIT: Some references in elementclient.exe 1.5.2,
Etc... It has a total of 13 references with Angelica engine and maybe more with some encode string that I was too lazy to decode.Code:Angelica File Package, Perfect World Co. Ltd. 2002~2008.
IsAngelica3: %d
ERROR! Try to load angelica 3 gfx using the angelica2 gfx library
I could even do the same for FW but I don't have any exe to hex right now...
EDIT2: Quote from someone on PWI forums:
And another people speaking about a weird "Destroyer IV engine" also from wanmei? Seriously why so different engine? No, for me it's all the same engine just translation error from people or google xDQuote:
Shadowlands III is gotta be a translation error. I still believe its the angelica 3.
Why should Archosaur develop another engine thats alrdy at ver. 3 when they only use angelica pretty much?
Would be amazing if its an update, but could be kinda hard to get all the date translated to the new playing/combat style and all.
Yes it is! Look, I understand you may not want to accept it because you're a "fan" (boy <.<) but I reckon ↓ This ↓ is the case!Quote:

You have proves that's still Angelica engine ! What do you want more? I don't remember that you were a troll Psytrac o.O ...
I have chinese friends, who are the ones that told me. are you saying a NATIVE chinese speaker lied?
Then wanmei made a mistake on their website. Because you have proves that it's still Angelica engine by hex editing the game. And I wonder WHYYYY wanmei would do a totally new engine for each of their games? Destroyer IV, Shadowland III, ... whatever is this, it's still Angelica maybe under another name (or code name?) but there are proves that we can't deny that it's still the same fcking old engine with maybe some little improvements but that's all.
Pwi is still on angelica system, i hate it but it is
Ok, here's something for you:Quote:

Psytrac, Rom is actually right on this. They may have rebranded it internally or whatever, but under the hood it's the same old data structures/event model/scalar types/whatever, the same as we have always had. Except the brief change to d3d9 we had a bit back, nothing ever changed for PW's engine.
