Perfect World Mobile 2019 Launch First Impressions

Here we go again.
This, ladies and gentleman.. is the game that shaped my childhood. The single game that turned me into the man I am today.
I did a video on the pre-release of Perfect World Mobile last month. I was given a high level character to play through and capture footage to show off to all of you – and it was a great experience.
However, this time they reached out to me again and asked if I wouldn’t mind taking a look at the game post-release. Naturally, I’m down for that.
So yes, this video is sponsored if that wasn’t already evident, but due to that, we actually have a bunch of codes to give away on screen right now.
They give players some pretty sweet in-game goodies, so if I were you I’d jump in as soon as you can using the download link in the description and redeem them before someone else does!
You’ll find instructions on how to redeem those in the description below.

Since I discussed what Perfect World Mobile was last time, I don’t really feel too much need in rehashing it all over again, so let’s keep this fresh, new and exciting, yeah?
Perfect World Mobile has several classes and races available currently. While there are no doubt additional classes and maybe even races planned down the line, the current combinattions are as follows:
The Untamed have the Barbarian tank class – which I ended up going for this video as last time I went Wizard and MrsStix decided to go Elf so.. yeah, didn’t wanna overlap beginning areas.
The Humans have both the Wizard and Blademaster classes – which are both DPS. I played Blademaster originally in Perfect World International and haved a lot of exciting memories of when I played him.
The Winged Elves have both the Cleric and Archer classes – the Cleric was what Mrs Stix went and is the only healer in-game, whereas the Archer is the basic long-range bow and arrow class.

Each race has their very own starter areas, with Untamed beginning in City of the Lost, Humans in Etherblade and Winged Elves in City of the Plume.
All of the cities were re-created to look absolutely amazing – a significant improvement over their PC counterpart.

Each race also has their very own distinct character creator.
The Untamed, as an example, allow you to customize your new furry best friend’s humanoid form and tiger form.
I was tempted to go for a fat kitty because I wanted to tell people that I got that way feasting on my enemies but Iunno.. I wanted this to be a PG-13 video and thought that might be a little over the top.
So I opted to go for a deer-dude that turns into a slender albino cat. Worked for me.
The other races had very detailed character creation though. My wife made something very beautiful. I on the other hand.. I made something truly majestic.
Like, look at that face.
Oh, right, while we’re on the topic of character creation, I would like to let you all know that Perfect World Mobile offers a handy little QR Code feature.
You can save your characters appearance using a QR code which is then saved to your device, allowing anyone with that code the ability to fully replicate your character via scanning.
Naturally, restrictions based on class and race are imposed.. but I mean.. why wouldn’t they be?

Since this time I wanted to fully level through the game just like everyone else, I opted to create a brand new character with this purpose.
So I jumped in, began leveling and made it to a point where I could successfully enter dungeons and PvP, which is what I want to touch on next.

Well, as soon as I talk about combat, that is. Like Perfect World, the mobile incarnation of the game utilizes a tab-target combat system, but has an extensive AoEing combo system in place that keeps things fast and engaging.
Since I played Barbarian, I actually had two separate forms: Both my normal humanoid form and my tanking tiger form.
Each form had their own distinct set of abilities and therefore had a different focus on play. As an example, in kitty form I was a tank and pulled aggro with every hit, but didn’t deal as much damage as I did in my humanoid form.
This means that swapping between forms is a must if you want to maintain optimal aggro generation and damage output.
Which was quite crucial in dungeons. And I did several of them, mind you. The further I got the more difficult dungeons got, requiring more coordination from your team and general awareness of your surroundings.
Too often people stood in telegraphed attacks, forcing the healers to heal them almost repeatedly throughout the encounter.
Now I’m not normally one to gloat, but.. Thankfully I was quite powerful. This allowed me to do pretty sizable monster-pulls in each room, making the dungeon runs significantly faster.
Or, at least I thought they went faster. Maybe the DPS didn’t since I’m not even sure how many of them had AoEs. But I felt better about it.

PvP on the other hand, was an entirely different story.
I love PvP in games. I’m not exceptional at it by any means but that doesn’t stop me running in trying to kill everything I see.
Both my wife MrsStix and my sister Wiggy have played MMOs with me long enough to know that when I see someone I just YOLO at them, resulting in a lot of deaths. Mine, not theirs.
The PvP I participated in was the Pinnacle – a 1v1 environment where I got to assert my dominance over people less skilled than I am. Which admittedly was like.. 3 or 4 people, then I got stomped and quit to go cry in a corner.
Mrs Stix slowly caressed me and told me that everything would be okay, promising me that with enough time and effort I would one day be able to redeem myself for this disgrace.. but she couldn’t look me in the eyes while saying that so.. I doubt her sincerity.

Dungeons and PvP aren’t all there is to the game, though.
I joined a guild and learned that not only were there unique events to participate in as part of the guild, but there were also unique benefits you could partake of as well.
These included things like Guild Training, Life Skills, Gift Packets and a Guild Auction.
I opted to learn skills that would benefit me, such as the Fitness ability – increasing my overall HP quite significantly. I mean why wouldn’t I though right? I’m a tank. I need survivability more than I do the ability to fish.
Plus I’m a cat. Catching fish is a default skill I possess. Then I went on a guild quest to rid the area of a bunch of bandits, resulting in a final battle in the Stronghold of the Wraith.
Naturally I emerged victorious ’cause I’m just awesome like that.
P.S. If you happen to see me in-game, you’re more than welcome to join the guild I’m a part of and even say hey!

Then there are interesting Hidden Quests that can be discovered around the game-world. Like this old guy over here that required I sit down and meditate to appear before me.
He sent me on a little trip around the city before finally gifting me this piece of a flying mount, requiring I earn all 4 to obtain. Cool, right?

One final thing I’d like to point out is the fact that flight exists in Perfect World Mobile. The ability to soar across the skies – and, actually, even up into the skies!
There are cool little cities located around above the clouds with quests, and even a giant monkey that tries to swat you. Dunno why he’s so angry, but I didn’t stop to ask him either.
I’d purchased a premium flying mount from the cash shop partially through my journey in the game along with a cool outfit, as you can no doubt see in-game, and this made me look that much more badass while fighting.
Which you can also do while fighting, by the way.

Overall, Perfect World Mobile is probably the best mobile MMORPG on mobile devices right now. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and download the game using my link in the description and see for yourself!
Don’t forget to redeem these codes either to get some epic goodies!
