History YMMV / PerfectWorld

* EvilIsSexy: [[TreacherousAdvisor Natya Veda, the Great Advisor]], Dawnlight Halls' final boss, definitely qualifies, as do (to lesser degrees) her minions [[PuzzleBoss Kailia the Otherworldly]] and [[PlayingWithFire the Fireforged Changeling]].
** [[FlunkyBoss Belle Leun, the Mad Princess]] of Flowsilver Palace could also qualify, if one overlooks her ashen complexion and [[RedEyesTakeWarning glowing red eyes]].

** [[BonusBoss Belle Leun,]] [[FlunkyBoss the Mad Princess]] of Flowsilver Palace could also qualify, if one overlooks her ashen complexion and [[RedEyesTakeWarning glowing red eyes]].

** Belle Leun, the Mad Princess, the BonusBoss exclusive to Flowsilver Palace's Judgment Mode, is infamous for [[FlunkyBoss summoning waves of Ghostchill Heralds and Ghostchill Sorcerors]] that are nigh-immune to certain damage types (elemental for Heralds, physical for Sorcerors) and continuously fire off area-of-effect attacks that slow, debuff, and inflict damage over time on the entire squad - at a fast enough rate to make any effort to remove the debuffs pointless. As each wave of these minions is triggered when the squad has brought the Mad Princess's health down to a set point, damaging her too fast can easily mean the squad gets in WAY over its collective head. After seven Ghostchill waves, when Belle Leun is down to a third of her health, she will summon an intervening mini-boss, becoming invulnerable until her chosen interceder is defeated. Through the rest of the fight, she will repeatedly cast a Dark Curtain that increases the cooldown of any skill used to 2 minutes while it is in effect (essentially rendering all the spellcasters unable to attack), and also cast a Dark Link on a random player that heals her if the linked target attacks. Periodically a Ghostchill Demon will spawn in the room as well, [[OneHitPolykill reeling in and then one-shotting]] every player who doesn't either run behind Belle Leun's platform to avoid it, or use an invulnerability potion.

* GoddamnedBoss: For Wizards and Psychics, the aforementioned level 100 enemy [[AntiClimaxBoss Kun Kun]] is this. While most classes have no problem killing him (meleers have little problems, for obvious reasons; Venomancers can simply sic their pets on him; Clerics can use Plume Shot and fly out of the way of the stronger enemies), Kun Kun is [[AntiMagic 100% resistant to spells]]. This means that the unlucky Wizard or Psychic must now physically smack Kun Kun, doing about 3 to 4 damage per hit. And since he runs so much... Of course, Wizards can just patiently wait until they get their level 59 skills and oneshot the damn thing with a [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill rain of flaming blades]] [[note]]aka the strongest attack in the entire game since it uses the wizard's already insane magic attack twice; the highest known damage achieved was over 13 million - with strongest gear in game, a critical hit and a ton of debuffs on the target. 1 million is achievable relatively easily with semi-endgame gear and some debuffs. The game has gotten [[PowerCreep a lot more options to further enhance the players' stats]] since then, and higher damage should definitely be possible[[/note]]. On the other hand, Psychics are totally screwed, especially since their WeaponOfChoice has lower basic physical attack than the tools Wizards usually use.

* PurgatoryAndLimbo: If Lothranis and Momaganon are the denizens' idea of Heaven and Hell, respectively, then the Seat of Torment (instanced dungeon within Lothranis; [[BleakLevel consists of high cliffs amid perpetual rainfall]] and many monsters with a name prefix of "Infernal") and Abaddon (instanced dungeon within Momaganon; is [[GreenHillZone an idyllic spring valley]] once players pass the gauntlet of burning boulders near the entrance, and many monsters with a name prefix of "Peachyard" to go with the cheery theme of the scenery) would represent these themes.
* UncannyValley: When customizing your character, try setting "eye openness" to max and eye size to minimum. The eyes look like they will fall out at any second.

* GRatedSex: Public-display-of-affection actions ("Embrace," "Show Affection," and "Adore and Love") may feel like this due to the fact that they are meant to be performed with opposite-sex player characters (with "Show Affection" being the only one that same-sex player characters may perform) and have the practical benefit of [[IntimateHealing mutual Chi gain]]. While the game features a system that allows player characters to marry one another (thus enabling a daily "Marriage Quest" for a bounty of EXP and Spirit), [[SubvertedTrope it does not]] [[SeductionProofMarriage disallow PDA's between a married player character and someone other than that character's in-game spouse]]. As with all interactive actions, PDA's don't happen unless both would-be involved players agree to them, but some players do feel the need to observe partner-selection rules when engaging in these actions, such as avoiding married partners unless they ''really'' need more Chi, or choosing friends or faction mates as partners first when running instances or events in a PickUpGroup.

* FridgeLogic: When you kill a flying mob, its drops defy gravity. The default elf wings drain mana, but ones you can get later that are obviously made of spirit energy don't. On the subject of flying mounts, why can't you use one of the Human-specific [[{{Badass}} giant flying swords]] to completely own everything? And how do elves change their wings?[[note]]Painfully?[[/note]]
** Why do all the female characters fight in stiletto heels? Don't those heels dig into the grass when they run-- and aren't their feet and ankles sore?
*** Why do all of the townspeople spend their lives standing in one place outside their houses, even at night? Do the children never get put to bed?
**** How come nobody ever dies for real? Is this the evil secret of the war-- that the heroes and the wraiths are locked in perpetual battle, neither side ever winning or losing anything, neither side ever giving up-- and that we will continue to fight the same war for all eternity?

* AnticlimaxBoss: There's a certain level 100 boss you're expected to fight solo when you're level 30. Don't be afraid: he dies quickly and, in fact, doesn't attack at all. The only danger is his tendency to flee into a crowd of aggressive mobs...
