I hear the word skillshot used depressingly often by people talking about the Swordsman beta. Can you already tell how screwed you'd be playing the game with a ~200-220 ping?

Because latency and timed events are what stopped me from ever getting into Wushu despite loving the Wuxia theme.

It is in the gentle stewardship of JizzWhiz420 who excitedly pm'd me over skype regarding my stockpile of masks and my dragon slaps rage level 8. The bloodharvest has begun.

Oddly my ping to swordsman has been a stable 90-100 despite playing from Finland, it does have timed events though and guild ones seem to be pretty late but they're not as mandatory as script stealing was at one point.

Yeah turns out their servers don't suck. I'm east coast and without BP I'm in sub 100 ping all the time, most of the time sub 50.

Imagine four 'mechs waiting in a queue. Time works the same way.
As of right now we got 1 guild event that is weekly that works and a daily that does not work. The guild can do 10 events per week.

We need a few more rumors to get some more events, and they may be the 3 man adventures for all we know.

But hijacking, escorting, and the metal gear kidnapping quests give a lot more and can be done at any time with 1-3+ people depending on the mission.

The guild also gives you bonus health / stats that is a personal buff you can level up for your self.

Later on we can do feasts and invade other bases, and so far that time frame is when ever we want.

We just deduced an event. This may be a one shot thing and we will do it in 10 minutes from now.

Yeah, PW send me a beta code a few hours ago (applied for one yesterday) and I'm getting a similar ping. This bodes well. :downs:

So we got the investigation done. They are one time shots. So the more people, the more investigations done, the more exp for everyone.

It is a short thing to do each day.

As we level up the guild, we can bring more than 30 people to the event each day.

What happened was we got teleported into a tomb and had a bunch of traps and riddles to solve in 30 minutes. There are 3 super boss rooms as well that just shower money and experience at you.

You also get artifacts for the quests in the bandit hall.

We just ranked up the guild to level 3 and treasure is spawning all over the base for 10 minutes.

The treasure is instanced.

EDIT: lol there are 5 treasures, and if you go back to character select, they respawn.

We found disguise items that allow you to have alternate solutions to hijacking quests. Basically, you put on the outfit and you get things you can use that sleep the hijackers and allow you to rob the cart without fighting. One of them is a female who can distract them with a sexy lip bite.

This is that female.

CrazyDooDoo may be joining the guild as well.

I got to 40 with the class I definitely want to play in OB and don't want to burn out playing for nothing in CB so don't think I'll be playing anymore. Also I found that I really enjoyed just killing poo poo in this game and watching them ragdoll all over the place...so I wonder if it's viable to level just by sitting a spot and grinding with x2 exp on instead of just clicking Auto Route to a bunch of bullass quests.

I ran out of character slots to experiment on so I'll probably just wait for OB too before testing some more. I can't for the life of me decide on which class to play though.

Good eyes. That type of headdress was only used in the 18th century. The coat is also clearly mixed fabrics, something no Wushu warrior from this period would wear.

Just hit 45 and got throwing weapons



The important thing to note here is that this specific box gave me an extra skill slot for upgrading it. You also unlock these skill slots at 60.

New throwing boxes are 10 gold. They level up and gain stats. You can rerol them with an item or just level a new box.

The boxes come in two kinds, each kind throws 3 of the 6 throwing weapons.

Those weapons are tied to a F key and F5-F8 open up when you have the box.

Indeed, but anything can be dressed up to look nice in a trailer. If once again we get a crap translation, bullshit cashshop grabbing and a dev that don't consider western economic/culture there wont be much progress from what we have now.

From the way things are shaping up the best next sandbox mmo available to the west might be Archage. Trion is refusing to follow the way korea/russia/japan went and turning it into a themepark, instead focusing on the building and commerce aspect.
