We need some write ups for a few classes in swordsman online.

Shaolin, wu-tang, E'mei, harmony, Zephyr, and five venoms.

This doesn't need to be long, just enough for a new person to get an idea of the theme and some moves.

Hey now I enjoyed it. However the you can never die mechanic for the parkour should never have existed and combat could definitely be improved. Else I'm a sucker for cel shading style games.

Oh and they never released the DLC for PC :mad:

Harmony is a rogue/assassin class. Uses a Longsword/Shortsword combo as a weapon, hidden in a guitar or whatever.
1st set has a poison attack and naruto shadowclones. Has a "teleport to enemies face" skill thats pretty handy.
2nd set is very fast and full of charges. Also has a spin2win that sucks in nearby mobs, a 3hit breakdance that blinds, knockdowns, crazy stuff. And for pvp an unblockable dash that paralyzes for 2 seconds, very good for pvp.
3rd set sends out ghosts and is a ranged set. The main gimmick is tapping buttons usually just sends out a ghost to attack a ranged opponent, while holding it will have you go in place of the ghost and do bonus effects. Pretty weird, but fun.

Overall Harmony does ton of damage, but is pretty fail and has no GET THE gently caress OUT options.

As far as 9poison I only got the first two sets. They use whips and poison, think WV with S&M.
1st is pretty boring, its a ranged palm set with a whip attack that pulls you in to a target then kicks them back. The main draw is this set drops a huge plant that heals any friendly for shitloads for x seconds, 1 minute cooldown.
2nd set is a crazy whip set that focuses on AOE damage, and a few single target grabs and attacks. Has a whopping 9 skills, so plenty of room to customize for single target or aoe fighting. Seems super fun, and reasonably fast.
3rd set from what I hear cranks the aoe stuff to 11, so this class seems to be heavy on PVE and AOE attacks.

This is by no means comprehensive, just the feel I got while playing for about a week.

EDIT: I also played a LITTLE of Zephyr, 1st set is straight-up a mage with blasting ice, and a few aoe attacks. Also you can dance to heal allies :dance:
I saw a preview of the 2nd set at http://swordsman.gamepedia.com/Zephyr_skills and it looked super complicated, and had huge cooldowns on everything.

Never die was pretty blah yeah, but it was a very beautiful game and I admit the idea of the main character being a dick and screwing over everyone selfishly at the ending was more entertaining and unexpected to me than a typical happy ending would be.

So is this Swordsman game fun? I quit Wushu because I couldn't stand everyone being able to two shot me for long enough that that doesn't matter... the Tong stuff looks funny - 'yeah, we have guns. We will shoot you.' is really funny for a wuxia type game in my opinion, but sounds great.

By the sounds of the PvP and what I've seen everyone is a tangman that can two shot one another depending on skillshots landing and your use of stuns.

Hopefully the endgame gets better and entices people into a slightly better managed game.

I won't be able to make it to this one, having computer troubles(the kind that cost me hundreds of dollars), and the computers I have access to basically won't run Wushu. Not that I would have been all that much help anyways, despite taichi rage. Meridians still not where they need to be.

The pay to win sets really sucked the fun out of pvp because everyone uses the same 5 moves as they are unequivatably better than every other noncash set in the game. Yeah you can beat them with other sets because all the people left are drooling morons but it's just not fun anymore.

TDH lost their NBloc war since they focused all their efforts and botting bucket alts into our war so we didn't win the attack but who cares.

Eh, if it were legally infringing, just enforce it here. But it's probably not unlawful infringement--I mean I'd have to actually compare the assets, but I'd be really surprised if it were. Moreover, what IP? Selling a Mickey Mouse doll is different from selling a license to play with a virtual outfit that is reminiscent of something from another video game set in some other fantasy desert place. Is this about copyright (of what, an outfit?(!?) An image?)? Trademark (of what, the outfit? They have that poo poo trademarked!?)? If they were selling a "Prince of Arabia" outfit--maybe maybe maybe.

Guess we'll get the skillset today. Going to gently caress some nerds up. It's basically Mozi with a blade and skill disables/other utility hits in place of the other effects Mozi gives.

i don't seem to understand the set. According to the website (http://www.ageofwushu.com/static/full_moon_scimitar/) all i see is something very similar to yangyang blade. There is no mention of skill disable anywhere.

Weirdly no skills seem to use rage (probably a website typo) and while the text for the second charge mention a 20M range the stats state it at 3.

It looks like you get 2 charge (one 4 hits, one 2) a spam, 2 Aoe (probably both cones in front of you, one of them stun for 2S, the other pushback) the feint pushback on parry break and the rage is single target. The main gimmick of the set being attaching at max 5 levels of DOT for 8S.

If the set really is about skill disable and have a 20m charge then this could be a wonderfull PVP set if it animate fast enough. If not its just a (near) reskin of Yanyang with flashier animations.

It's not even close to Yanyang. Yanyang is all about CC moves, this one is a more standard double charge blade set with DoTs attached do it.


E: Also Yanyang is hilariously low damage even at level 6, whereas this set looks to be putting out far more damage (but it's still external so the damage is going to be lower anyway).

New blade set has a massive cone stun for 2 seconds and a juggle move if they have the DoT on the (cone can apply this as well). The charges do good damage and with good enough ping you can lock people into extremely long combos where they can't really do poo poo against you. If the DoT is on a person, the rage also ignores external defense which makes it really loving good.

I mentioned this in guild last week to Haq that when I attempted to buy gold via Amazon USA to renew VIP, my purchase was immediately cancelled. I tried 2 more times with same results. After speaking with Amazon they said the issue is with the seller; not my end nor Amazon. I guess, like Paypal, Amazon is having trouble with Snail and probably will drop them soon.
