Unfortunately I had some personal poo poo happen and I ended up losing interest in EVE (and a lot of things) so I never got to follow UNO on having my in game lawyer (Judge Jita, my alt for trading in high-sec, was a lawyer who worked for Leonard J Crabs) contact him and see if he wanted to sue for damages.

Gabriel Pope posted:I don't have the time for MMOs nowadays but holy christ this game looks awesome. You actually have time for this if you have, oh, an hour a day to play if you want to progress in just about everything every day, half an hour if you want to focus on just a couple things, and like five minutes a day if you really, really don't have time and just want to login, do a little basic maintenance, and log out. Part of the beauty of the game is that it is legitimately not grindy. You level EVE style (if you don't pay a sub, you have to be logged in but can be afk) where just existing gets you levels, it can be sped up significantly by logging in once every day and mashing buttons to burn some in-game money to speed it up (takes five minutes), can be sped up even more if you do the DDR minigame (takes like half an hour to an hour to get a group together and finish, if you do it with Goons). There's endless amounts of poo poo to do, but for basic "I just want to be able to punch people effectively," that's about it. Also it is only pay to win in the same way that EVE is - you can throw some money their way for some minor nice things, and gaining any actually significant advantage is prohibitively expensive. We had a Goon throw money at the game to catch up on everyone who was about three weeks ahead of him, and the last estimate I heard was that he had to blow something like six hundred bucks for it. I imagine a fully maxed out character would cost at least a few grand. I swore off MMOs a long time ago because they were either grindy, boring, carebear, or all three, and Age of Wushu is my literal perfect MMO. Combat is fun, you can get by on very little time per day if you want (leveling all the gathering skills is the most time consuming thing I've done so far), and it is a never ending fountain of pubbie tears. The griefing is beautiful and profitable and

That sounds so terrible. I mean, it's the guy's own drat fault if he's such a man-child that he'll steal money from someone who he cares about just to get something in a videogame like some kind of addict, but I would never want to be associated with expediting that sort of process. At the very least it would've been morally responsible to destroy everything he owned in the game as some kind of quasi-moral vigilante justice.

I'm streaming an Age of Wushu sand-castle kicking event: http://www.twitch.tv/satsurupettan By which I mean we're going to burn down our hated enemy's castle.  e: It actually starts at 10:30 est, so like 8 minutes. e2: I am sorry if it's kind of dull on my part, I am just defending a really important thing.  e3: I shut it off.

Here's a response from the losing guild that sums up Goon Tang Clan:  Needless to say, we won the guild war with ease. In fact, when we showed up with a hundred Goons, only eight of them stuck around before giving up. Urdnot Fire fucked around with this message at 05:31 on Jan 31, 2013 |

Aqua Hamster posted:Correct me if I'm wrong but it isn't free to play? It is. VIP status (unlimited access during beta, some perks like faster leveling offline, etc.) costs roughly $10/month, but you can play without it. Definitely join up - you can make great progress with very little time invested in a day, and joining a swarm of goons to butcher experienced players with a literal death by a thousand cuts is priceless.

Just Google for Age of Wushu unlimited play keys- mmosite had like 200 keys left a couple of hours ago when I got one. Hit the button on the website to buy the game, hit the Activate button, put in the key, and you've got unlimited play for free.

This game seems awesome on its own, but I'm really happy that the entire griefing thread jumped in. I imagine things are going to be getting very interesting in ancient China shortly.

Trip report on age of wushu- If you can get past the hurdle of learning what hell is going on, its amazing fun. Here is the rundown of my first day, in order. Did the newbie island starting quest, picked my school (class), got into goon guild, was taken under the wing of a vet player. Assaulted, kidnapped, then sold an innocent person into slavery. Took a scenic ride though china while meditating on my kung fu. Met up with some goons and killed random players for kung fu books (which I guess they stole originally?) Joined 100+ other goons and burned a castle to the ground, then took it over. Witnessed so many pubby tears about said castle raid that GMs had to get involved.

I still don't have any ingame VIP time or cool loot or anything. Edit: Went through that link and saw I hadn't gone to the little dropdown thing.

The big problem is that they all thing they're the super ultimate martial arts master that can't be touched. The reality is that they can be picked apart and swarmed by 5 newbies because they don't actually have any protection from disables. The game isn't like WoW where a max level guy can rip apart swarms of newbies at will (yet? I'm not sure how much things will scale). Incidentally, being part of a swarm and beating up high level guys with their e-honor and watching them rage in helpless despair as a bunch of ragged newbies burns down their house is absolutely hilarious.

Realistically, coordination is what brings about patented Goon SuperiorityTM. The people who are willing to organize gear for everybody so that the hordes can be well armed, or the spergs who spend time theorycrafting just the right way to exploit numbers, etc. Pubbies are the chivalrous knights charging through the mud towards goon peasants with longbows and spike walls. Goon strategy is basically the Battle of Agincourt.

Well, far as i can tell what's really going on is that goons optimize a strategy such that "people showing up" is the only resource worth managing and then make things fun so that people want to show up.
