So I was running around as an Avenger and I saw a dude standing around with a red name, so naturally I attacked and killed him. This is what happened afterwards.

Do any of the schools have palm sets? In the previews it always looked like they were using weapons ... May have another go as something else than emei

Misbiopy

What ARE the schools in this, anyways? Shaolin and Emei are straightforward enough, but like what are the other eight??

Probably going to be playing as Misbiopy, Wushu is down for maintenance anyways.

Imagine four 'mechs waiting in a queue. Time works the same way.
Shaolin, Wu-tang, Mount Splendor, Mount Infinity, Mount Harmony, Sun and Moon, Five venoms cult, Zephyr, House Tong, and E'mei.

E'mei is male and female
Five venoms is female only
Shaolin is male only

Tong is tang
Sun and Moon is wv
Infinity is scholars, I think, I may have that one wrong

You get a video at level 5 of how they play, but there isn't a good guide of their skills yet.

Wu-tang is an endo or internal tank and Shaolin is an external or exo tank.

Splendor is stable damage and a quick charge, but seems iffy until third set.

Infinity is endo defense and is about counter attacking and counter control.

Harmony use zithers and are melee assassins

Sun and Moon are melee and range and suck blood

Five venoms are control and range

Zephyr are range control, aoe, and counter control. They use a fan and are wizards.

Tong use guns and traps

E'mei are.... attack and defense.

Definitely has that Chinagame feel to it, I just want more information on the combat system before I try checking it out. The only thing I actually like about Wushu anymore is its combat system so a game with a worse one would just be sad :smithfrog:

The game comes with built in usurpation when the guild leader hasn't been online for awhile.

A lot of the sects are actually faction challanges in wushu like huanhua and mount song ...

And sun and moon may play like wv but are a diffrent sect entirely that isnt represented in wushu other than in superinners as the leader is practicing star vortex and dongfang bubai takes over later to steal the sunflower manual that is kept in sun and moon blackwood mountain.

Its fun if you know the lore or tv show, the guy that saves you in the tut is the main character i believe

I'm falling asleep on the kill 10 dudes leveling system, but the game seems interesting otherwise, also my ping is only 90 to us servers on this compared to 600 in wushu.

Lady/Immortal East is the best, the splendid drunken swordsman is also pretty good, if only he wasn't beaten up all the time. Swordsman feels way more like a Chinese epic than Wushu's addled melodrama.

Seems like there's enough interest in swordsman for it to have its own thread. What is the process for getting into the beta?


Also, Wushu question: Someone got green bamboo snake wine from an RE. It says to collect 110 of them and go to a loc in luoyang, along with something about learning arhat fist. Anyone know what the rewards for this are? Seems like it could either be an alternate way to get the page 7/9s, or possibly even page tens.

When we get enough info we will make a thread. We still don't know if it is worth it.

Download Arc, apply for beta on website or get beta key from alienware, download client, download 5 patches, done.

I think it's way better than wushu combat. So far it's been real actiony with blocks and counter attacks. Feels like attacks have more weight to them.

Here's a little bit of me loving around soloing an easy instance in Swordsman (I'm loving terrible don't judge) for people wanting to see a bit more about how the combat plays out.

:siren: Guild information :siren:

Each person in the guild has a rank that is assigned to them by the leaders and then a rank based on how much work they have done. The more work you have done the more guild credits you get.

On the guild interface on the top right there is guild gong. Click that and you will see your personal buff that you can raise or respec. This is a good reason to be in a guild cause this is normally 10% more hp and other buffs.

On top of this, 1900-2200 EST there are guild events. We bugged out one today and got another to work by accident. The guild leader can assign 30 people in the guild menu to go. You don't need to be in a group. Just go to the northern part of the guild base.

The rewards are great. Lots of money and exp. And you get items that lead you to small 3 man adventures.

If we want more adventures available, you will need to do the following.

Every day go to Harmony City Outskirts, Harmony Piedmont, Twilight Ridge, and Fa Giu. Find the escort icon on the map and go talk to informants. You can use either lure or force, but the total will be 3 times per npc per day.

This gets us gossip and incidents. We have to have matching pairs to solve them and the stuff we get is random. The more we get from all of you the faster we can solve them and unlock things.

Talk to the Event Agent in the northern part of the guild base to turn in the gossip and incidents.

TLDR Get gossip and incidents, lots of EXP, 1900-2200 EST

So far in my experience the Sun Moon sect are the biggest dickass dicks. They have double daggers with chains attached to them they can throw and toss nerds around with.

I saw a few people running around with one on SV. I don't think it has anything to do with baiting, the Snail CEO flat out admitted that the game is designed for people who are willing to spend ~$600 a month on it.
