The new graphic engine is called ShadowlandsⅢ according to this postOur current engine is called AngelicaII (used on some other pw games as well)Is ShadowlandsⅢ the upgraded version of AngelicaII? Not likely to be developed by the same team.AngelicaIII is already live on Swordsman Online (The latest game from Perfect World)Is there any game that uses ShadowlandsⅢ or any other version of the game engine? I have no idea.I tried asking some of the people from a certain chinese faction, who originaly came from PWCN server, apparently they had little to no idea of whats happening with PW2. Someone else might have better luck with getting more 'source' information. >:|Anyways,New Skills Preview, posted on pwi forums [/u]Phys class:HazyChannel 0.2sCast 0.6sCooldown 90.0sIncreases attack speed by 20% and reduces damage in relation to distance from an enemy.

If Miao Hon is used on the enemy within the next 20sec?, the cooldown of this skill will be reset.Miao HonMelee RangeChannel 0.1s Cast 2.0s Cooldown 60.0s First part of this is sorta confusing on what the damage is based on:Thinking it's either base physical attack + X% weapon damage plus X physical damage or just weapon damage and the added physical damage.Then second part is talking about some kind of Storm Strike that gets increased:Use with Relentless Tour to have Relentless Tour's cooldown reset.Costs 50 chi.God PhotosRange 20mChannel 0.1s Cast 0.5s Cooldown 15.0s Sleep the enemy for 5secs and then afterwards inflict earth damage.Costs 50 chi.Hunting LifeRange 20mChannel 0.1s Cast 0.6s Cooldown 30.0s First part sounds like either a debuff you put on someone or maybe something like a seeker stance?:Then inflicts base physical damage plus X physical damage and stuns for 6sec.Costs 50 chi.Fixed StormRange 8mChannel 0.1s Cast 4.3s Cooldown 120.0s Lowers damage taken while using this skill by 75%.

You'll see what I mean later on.The following skills all have something about spirits and combos in the beginning of their description which is making me think seeker stances. They're also slightly incomprehensible at points:WingsMelee RangeChannel 0.1s Cast 0.5s Cooldown 6.0s Chi 15Within the target direction of 120 degrees, does a fan-shaped 8m AOE? that deals base physical attack plus X amount of physical damage and something movement speed by 40% for 3sec.
