"All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again."


» This is old footage of Perfect World Void. The server is now offline.


During the time I was on Evolved Perfect World, Void merged with Nexus and tried to resurrect itself. But you know what they say, the sequel is never as good as the original.

It was an valiant attempt for sure. They tried to be an alternative to Epic Perfect World, but without the farming requirements, which makes a lot of sense on the surface. Yet, they never did manage to figure out a way to encourage people to login and stay logged in. Consequently, people would only log in at pre-arranged times, and then log out shortly thereafter. All this generated was the illusion of activity in the short term. Sure, you might get 40-60 people playing for an hour every day, but outside of those people, everyone else will just see a dead server. A server like this will never grow in the long term. Alas, Void 2.0 was merely a blinking moment in time.

Such is the way of Perfect World private servers. Many servers have lived and died, and many more will follow. But for how much longer will this cycle continue? I remember back in my Vendetta days, there were so many good competing servers I didn't know which one to choose. Yet today, in 2018, there isn't a single server I'd rather choose. So that is why I have been inactive - by circumstances, not by desire. I would very much prefer that this video won't become my last.

I was hoping that I could've gathered more footage for this video. But between Void being mostly inactive, and the server shutting down once again, my only option is to just release what I managed to capture during the brief moments when the server was alive.

And so I present to you a video of my Duskblade gameplay. I only got to play this class for around 1-2 weeks, so I apologize for mistakes that I will definitely have made. I was also only able to capture about 10% of the amount of footage I normally get. But I tried to make do with what I had.

All in all, I actually find the class quite boring to be perfectly honest. Sure, it's incredibly strong in 1v1, but it doesn't really synergize well with any other class when it comes to mass pk, which is equally as important to me as 1v1. The way I see it, this class is for the most part just a 1 for 1 trade in mass pk. You go off on your own and pick 1 person to combo, taking both you and them out of the fight. Then you simply repeat this process while hoping your team survives on their own. There is very little your teammate can do to help you or they risk ruining your combo. At the same time, there is also very little you can do to help your team mate if they run into trouble. Even you defensive skills are simply designed to take yourself out of the battle, while leaving your teammates to die.

So for me, Assassin is still going to be my preferred class, and I don't foresee that changing any time soon. Honestly, the only reason I decided to play Duskblade was because I disliked how Void 2.0 made DPH Assassins non-viable. DPH could only output half the damage of APS Assassins, if not less, and they received no other perks to compensate. So I thought I might as well just make a Duskblade video for fun while there is only small PK, and my Assassin wasn't needed. But I guess instead, the server was actually in the dying phase. Go figure.


I do hope that a new server would come out sooner rather than later, so my friends and I would be able to play again. But until then, I hope you enjoy the video!
