My computer died and I don't know when I'll have one that can run Wushu again, so can someone let Leffe know that I owe Jizz like 350L?

 Truly a Wulin hero  Also, server pop has declined a bit more mostly due to Swordsman beta (to nobody's surprise). Even all hostiles have been trying to protection war as much as possible just because numbers are pretty low right now.

Amazon is fixed--got my VIP renewal. The Fourth of July gift was unusually good. Among other things I got 5 intermediate jianghu infos and some teleport tokens. We're also getting credit cards and possession tokens for the sign in events. NBloc has been pissing off the terrorists, which is nice, to the point that they're getting tokened a fair amount by Rebellion lately. Even Chaos & Tox have been talking up smashing Rebellion, which took me by surprise.It's nice to see them come out for PvP, although they're not super experienced and flub some when they don't have support. Leffe's thing about selling good poo poo out of the alliance is that in wars, we now hit a wall of Ancient Tai Chi. Leffe felt that this was because we sold out to the terrorists, essentially arming our enemies with the tools of our demise, and it's come back to bite us in the rear end. He's trying to stop that, and has said that if people continue to sell out and he learns of it, they may not be invited to the next level of content, which involves some poo poo on an island with bosses that have drops that will let you level your Jianghu inners or somefuckingthing or other. We thought for a while Mutou might be selling to the terrorists, but I'm not sure whether its true or whether he even plays much now. I have no idea what is going on with Resurrection, but it looks like they're collapsing into Lawless. Nick's rl job has picked up a lot, and Prosperity is in NBloc now. Whatever. . . .

How long does it take for a new person to get up in "level" to PvP or be a useful contribution or even remotely enjoy the game?

Interstellar Owl posted:How long does it take for a new person to get up in "level" to PvP or be a useful contribution or even remotely enjoy the game? To be useful--you're useful at the start in defensive guild wars, as you can put out a fire. On guild war attack, as a Royal guard, my spin did about the same damage as anyone else when it came to taking down lions (a necessary part of assaulting a guild base) and I could toss torches like anyone else. Feints to break enemy blocks and CC may not do much damage, but these are very useful to help in a fight--though you'll miss a fair amount due to stats, it's still super helpful and sometimes determinative. Very early on--first week--I was executing ranged feints to break parries and folks appreciated it, though in the chaos of a large fight it's harder to keep on top of things. Support like music is useful at 5th level out of 10, which takes maybe 3 weeks I think; you'll get most of the important stuff by level 7, which takes a bit over a month, I think. As a musician, I get invited to all kinds of content I really have no business being in otherwise; with me playing music, JizzWhizz clears a school instance in under an hour, I think. On the other hand, I've been playing for 3.5 months and I'm not "peer" level with Haquertal or Akeenai or Jizz etc. I do fine in PvP and have a great time--I feel fine about fighting just about any folks who don't have a silver creature around their portrait. But to be a "peer" with those "shock the world" folks could take 5 or 6 months, give or take depending on your personal trading acumen/dropluck and what school or faction you choose (wanderer's valley or beggars--less time; Royal guard--more time but the ranged feint makes you immediately useful). There are also a couple of skills that are difficult or chancey to acquire but extremely important to high end PvP, such as Flying Horse (swap health and mana) or Turn Weapon Around (gain mana on block). I personally felt like I had a meaningful PvP role at the getgo; sure, I could be squished if someone really wanted to, but even so I had some helpful ranged skills and music to play and could douse flames and flip strategic points as well as anyone. Not everyone felt the same as I did, mind you. It also depends on whether you find a group of people around your level. I did not, but I had a great time leveling up even so. If you don't like being an underdog then this isn't going to work for you. If you enjoy being behind the 8-ball, this could be a match.

Yeah this never happened, or at least wasn't the main reason they had so many frags. After Hua hit, each zone had its own timers for their Random Encounters so all the hostiles put 5+ VIP alts into literally every zone that hands out ancient fragments to farm that poo poo out. There's a reason that a person had 70+ ancient tai chi fragments on their stall (they ran like 20 VIP idling accounts) before they were banned for RMT. However, with the latest expansion they're now on giant global cooldown lists so people are getting far fewer REs and the VIP alt idling problem has mostly been solved due to it.

Rip me -.- the only 3 guilds i constantly pick on I've gotten two T2 workbenches and 3 T1 looms in about a week from REs (among other stuff) and I still have some multi-step REs I'm working through. I have been spending an inordinate amount of time trying to impress the emperor, though. . . . Natalie_Luna posted:Geesh.. really? If it's an inside job, selling customer account information or otherwise abusing access to company information, then it is quality GM work--in theft. I imagine someone or someones at Snail are being paid on the side to provide customer information. Corruption, bribery, embezzlement and so on is a widespread problem in China and this would make the most sense to me given the facts. Either bad actors may be covering up individual incidents, or folks may be covering up the scope of the problem out of fear for their jobs or due to direct involvement, or Snail is struggling with the problem internally, or all of these or whatever. I imagine Snail was smart enough to insulate itself from employee malfeasance by using intermediaries for financial transactions. Leaking credit card information would be a big problem; Snail can't lose our credit card information because Snail doesn't have it. Leaking customer game account information with virtual money is also a problem, but less so by several orders of magnitude.

The GM assured Leffe that the account wasn't hacked anytime between 6/23-7/2, which makes total sense since yuyubaby was selling those blades before those dates. Looks like the ban was a temp one. Take that, playerbase!

So I tried to log on my wushu account (Slapzilla) and some dude is using it apparently, somehow he changed my account name and password. I tried to contact snail customer service  But because he topped up sometime this year, he now owns the account. Snail logic. Sent them screen caps of all my receipts and everything but nope. At least I have the memories.

Also I had the 3rd blade set at 9 and it was still bad damage. Rage did like 1500 before crits and the set outclassed RG 4th set for damage. Oh and beggars with chain at 4 do more damage than an RG with chain at 9 and that's before crits.

I really thought steam would have pumped a lot of players into the game. Well i dont feel as bad for losing my account now, game sounds like its on is last lap. really unfortunate considering the potential of the game.

AmiEsiM posted:I really thought steam would have pumped a lot of players into the game. Well i dont feel as bad for losing my account now, game sounds like its on is last lap. The Steam user review simply destroyed it, nobody putting up a single positive point about the game. Not taking part in the sale and setting its bundle price too high ensured it vanished quickly from the front page of the free to play tag. SnailUSA being a shell company could explain why they always have problem with the major payment services. As for the game dying i would not bet on it since the whales alone can probably keep it alive forever based on the amount of money they spend. We recently had people complaining on the forum about the maximum of 10D you can buy each day, blaming Snail for not letting them burn money faster. This game is just selling code already paid for by the Chinese version and passed trough a loosely overseen machine translation, so there is no development cost, only lovely maintenance handled at China work rate. Trion getting the rights for that new Wushu game currently in OB in China could be the MMO we are all hoping for, as Swordsman has show clearly better management but so much less depth.
