Last year, Perfect World Entertainment launched Perfect World, a Chinese mythology inspired MMORPG. We covered many of the points about the title in our review. However, since then, the Perfect World design team has released two expansions, with a new one planned for release this fall. At E3 2009, I managed to see one of the new elements for the expansion, genies for characters. It was explained that if you go into a PVP situation, you frequently know exactly what your enemy's skills are and what they can do, as well as what you can do to counter it.

The genie system is designed to remove this advantage because of the unpredictability of everyone's genie. As you level up, you gain points that you can allocate for your genie's stats, which further affects the powers that your genie can use within battle. Some powers will minimize damage from magic spells, while others will hinder close quarter combat attacks. The real trick is that you won't know what each genie brings to the battle until you've attacked its master, at which point you'll discover what its abilities truly are.
