I swear I got a hua invite on koop, but it's nowhere to be seen :(

Also you can get faction sets from Hua now, my tang alt got the Beast Villa rage to 4. (I also got Following 5)

I learned like 5 or 6 skills this Hua, well worth it. Got the BV spam, a PBI charge, a Demon Soul Chasing thing, some Wudang nonsense, the Vertigo Dart Rage, some Shen thing I already had, and something else.

I mean not great things, but well worth 50L.

I got one of the C7 charges from 2 to 4 from hoo haw. It was worth it to see CallMeKing lose to bumba, since CMK had somebody else that actually has good ping playing his account again.

Also, Jayen got the sword again because petmako eats paint chips.

I actually wanted to learn beast villa skills at Mt Hua since my faction is so restrictive in unlocking them, but now I know a few new skills! :unsmith: Plus I have the transcend the world and surprise with first success titles thanks to my friends who believe in justice and having lots and lots of alts.

You can get any factions skills. Like if somehow luck out you can get an entire set of rootless...as a woman! I think one of the guys in the tournament got one of POMFs skills (Grafting, the one that makes you dance around like an idiot for a few seconds).

Grafting also reflects 100% of damage taken for 5s sooo...

I really need to test that in a duel with the suicide bomb.

Mutou gained Grafting from Hua and was showing it off at the bank.

Also, nobody knows if women can use Rootless skills or if the characters can even learn them (since the skills say you must be castrated).

Its beyond hardcore. At least there is noticeable improvement from last week. Last week we couldnt even clear that one boss without running out of time triggering the burn down the HQ poo poo. This time we cleared that without any issues and actually triggered the first post burn boss. We still need like triple the numbers though, the game expects us to kill 3 bosses after the burn phase starts.

For those that dont know how it works, this is an event that expects us to have massive numbers of members in our faction, divide them into organized teams and strike at 4 different locations at the same time. There has to be a group at the HQ stopping as many reinforcements from flooding into the other areas, another group destroying the initial starting area, another dealing with the area thats right after that and finally another dealing with the one before the hq.

e- The trash has so much hp, the ones you just killed already respawned before you can clear the newest pack. The reinforcements will not stop until they reach their end point no matter how hard you hit them. You have to chain knockdowns to stand a chance.

All of the "Smelling" medical patients are common sense, except for the guy who has either bird flu or anemia. His symptoms are insomnia, sleepiness, and vivid dreams.

There's a kid in Yanjing who has nothing wrong with him at all, which is fine, but your eventual response is "The lady is golden. There is a book."

He was attacking an ally who was fighting 1v1 so I started darting the poo poo out of him. So he comes after me with Beggar 4th inner and Ancient dog beating and I nearly kill him before he then pulls out Ancient Tai Chi fist. Then calls me a noob so when we killed him back 3v1 I call him a noob.

He shows back up demanding 1v1's so we all start making fun of him so he went to the bank to ~honorably duel~ :rolleyes:

Trust me on this, Lilloth (the gardiennes currently at number one) literally PMed me to tell me that the only person he'd had a deal with to share the top spot was me, and since I'd left Shen (which he was actually pretty bummed about) he wasn't going to share it. he's at least 2k points above anyone else due to our sperg race of getting up every 6 hours.

Good luck with that.

Wars tomorrow~~~

NoTrabbu are taking the MO base from them and Jetli Cliff was attacked on our side.

TDH declared war on Jetli so we're just going to flat out loving ignore them and instead cap the MO base and go to NoTrabbu's base to keep the terrorists from achieving their objective. I want to blueball TDH because 1) they're fuckheads 2) they got the Hua sword and are smug as gently caress about it so I want them to attack an empty base and continue not having fun~

What: War
When: :bigtran:
Where: Starting in southeast Yanjing to cap the MO base and then moving to defend NoTrabbu's Tangmen South base.
Why: Taking MO's base, PS gently caress TDH

Of course they will but I plan on ignoring them. The less fun TDH has, the less fun those they constantly whine at to come help them in wars on their facebook page have. Which means less TDH to deal with :sun:

Noooo? The price of cell phones has plummeted from 20/30 years ago, but the price of goods in general has only increased.

Yesss? The value of a cell phone has not gone down, has it? They're even more valuable now, and more affordable than ever, and absolutely ubiquitous. Of course we live in an inflationary economy generally--I do not think of that as a good thing. My point is that in an actual free market, prices going down is generally a good sign as to the wealth of society. Cell phones are just a handy illustrative example.

We do not have a free market in wushu. We have central planning. And central planning is dumb and infuriating. This is a Soviet economy.

quote:

why buy something today when you could buy it tomorrow for less money?

Because opportunity cost is real, and because you need to eat tomorrow and to drive your car to work today. I'm very familiar with the deflationary spiral argument, but I think it's bunk, except in really extreme corner cases that seem purely theoretical. Deflation in a free market means that $1 (or 1 tael) is consistently gaining in value. We don't have a free market though.
