You could make your character on the stable EU servers, export it and then import them on the unstable NA servers.

We have a Guild rolling yet? Managed Beginner 19 through all the crashing and rubberbanding but I don't think that's very far. If we need cash for forming the guild I'm happy to throw in.

Well that was interesting. I was doing the practice dungeon and got stuck where I couldn't rez and I had to leave the instance on the last boss :(

It does take 10 gold to kick start an Alliance, I can chip in as well if needed. Been playing under DoctorFist.

Don't forget if an Alliance doesn't get 10 members it's deleted after a week.

Is there a way to see how much exp you need to hit the next level? I've just been getting level-ups every so often and not sure where to track it. Character screen doesn't seem to help?

Since it seems like we don't have a discord yet, I made a link for one for the future guild. I'll just give control over to whoever ends up as GM.

Surprised that the game is more stable during primetime than earlier in the morning, so I guess they fixed whatever was breaking it.

I'm getting occasional issues but its been steadily improving over the day.


Big tip, somewhere shortly after the first instance you unlock your first companion. In the second instance you don't get the 2 random helper npcs automatically, you have to add them manually. I was able to solo it at 20 as a berserker without one at all but had to swap to tank stance on the last boss. I shoved all my companion xp gems to level her from the default 20 to the 38 shown, and she just mulched everything immediately.




edit: haven't figured out how to get the other elixir options to fill yet. I'd much rather use the regeneration one.

I like how weird and completely useless some of the treasures are. Like, wanna throw down a thing of fish and have a cat walk up to it and guilt trip you into giving it fish once an hour? Got you covered.

Holy poo poo, this game actually has basic rotation tutorials in the main quest. Why doesn't every game do this?

E. "drill" and "practice" mode are the same right? I have a quest for doing the first instance on practice mode but there doesnt seem to be an option, and when I did it on drill the quest didnt update.

Yep, I figured this out halfway through my second run of the map, you have to actually accept the rewards before the quest updates.

Yea they're the same thing, though the quest tracker doesn't appear to update. The cloud thingy when you open it up should allow you to collect the reward still.

Yeah completing the dungeon doesnt actually give you that reward, its only when you claim it in the dailies window that it ticks as completed.

Another head scratcher is the "writing as a daoist approaches", doing the early biographies doesnt count, you have to do the level 25+ ones.

All the gear in the game is basically xianxia outfits. Dont expect big bulky armor, just flowing dresses.

You can take a look at every outfit in the game using the wardrobe system.

There's a little card game you can play for some random daily rewards. I didn't see any actual instructions about the rules of the game within the quests, etc. For some reason you can't play this card game until you finish the leveling experience/"tutorial." Also, you can challenge the respawn points to card games. Just... baffling. The pace that this game presents elements is incredibly random. Sometimes you feel like its throwing a million systems/option at you at once, and then it won't actually introduce anything new for long stretches of the "tutorial" leveling experience. And the rate that classes get access to their tools is also random. Spearmaster felt really bad the first few levels I tried it, because it relies on these combo starters to make your hits actually do any real damage. And you seem to slowly add those as you level. Meanwhile, Berserker has a really chunky-feeling charged attack that feels like it just blows mobs away early on.

Loving the High-School-Drama-Club production quality of some of the english voice acting.

At some points, the game pushes you to these little tutorial instances to teach you how to play your class (and even has a dumb little quiz about basic MMO roles and basic courtesy). Good idea. But also, when you do it, it completely reassigns your hotbars, so you have to put them back how you've gotten used to them over the 30 levels leading up to this point...

Lots of fun/stupid jankiness.

You get an ability to teleport to the "Origami" realm very early on. There's a jumping puzzle in there that rewards you with your triple jump ability much earlier than you would otherwise get it.

Looks like we're still waiting for someone to start a guild so I just went ahead and did it, "Crab RanGoon" in-game. Can message me at "Matchbox" for an invite, or any other member. Everyone has invite permissions.

and the potoo loves you.
Tried it today, ended up getting a refund.

The quality of the translation is not good, and I'm not familiar with wuxia at all, so the story was borderline incomprehensible and I just found the game kind of impenetrable. Very, very pretty, but I think I'm going to refrain from [re]buying it until and unless there's another good pass on the game's language and/or good videos or guides in English turn up to explain what's going on and what everything does.
