Roll a couple dudes and get them to 40, or at least 30, and then see what you like the best. You can have three characters on your account but I think only one can be in the guild, so there's plenty of room for experimentation. And even a sub-optimal character can be fun. Completely unrelatedly, I suspect Infinity will get significantly better once I've unlocked the entire quickbar, at whatever level that happens at. Third set has a lot of heavy hitting moves and the pure acupuncture, but it's like 4 charges and a grab. Second set has all the counter ready stuff, but it's like 4 ranged attacks. First set is crap but has the heal. Getting all the good stuff in one set would make it a hell of a lot more usable.

skystream92 posted:This is actually untrue. Harmony's main acupuncture skill (not mirage, because who the hell uses mirage) CANNOT be used on a counter target. I've tried it just to find out if it works. If you try to ghost dash (whatever the hell it's called) an infinity player with counter-ready up, you will get countered. Weird. The acupuncture certainly can't be blocked, I know that much. aleksendr posted:I decided to eliminate infinity from the running because "Dont hit me when i glow" is a nice concept for a final boss but not really feasible for a PVP heavy game. This is a bullshit attitude. Countering has a mechanic in common with a highly important part of the PvP game. Do you know which? Yes, you guessed it: blocking. The only difference is which skills they are good against. If you can see someone's sword start to fall and block (which I can playing from Brazil), you can see someone's sword start to fall and counter. Infinity's counters are no more "wait for the enemy to gently caress up" than harmony's reliance on hitting grounded targets. Yes, the enemy can exploit it. But if you can't pull it off, it's not because your opponent is too good. Also, those videos on youtube, some of them show people that are miles better at this game than most of us. I've seen more than one Splendor who could pull off the double-canceled combo on demand, something that to me is so unbelievably hard I may as well be playing a fighting game (which I'm awful at). And you know what, even then, we see an Infinity capable of getting his counters off. PassiveSentence posted:Is choice of school a large factor for stats or is that determined more by levels and gear? A significant factor, but ultimately one you can easily overcome. Shaolin and Wu-Tang have a lot of HP but less attack. Harmony and Splendor have a lot of attack but less HP. You can basically shift the two positions based on how you gear and mastery. Mastery is the big one since gear is somewhat randomized and you may end up with defensive or offensive stats when you don't want them, but masteries are a huge bonus the moment you unlock them (40) and keep getting better. I'm not sure, but I believe for world mobs, XP is always the same, barring penalties for large level differences. Liberatore fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Jul 8, 2014 |

aleksendr posted:As far as i know, nothing is wrong with me. I would have gladly commented on male clothing but with the exception of the Shaolin they are pretty much all the same layered shenyi or ruqun, only in school colors and with more or less ornamentation. Tong probably look the best and S&M the more weird with all the spiky bits and glistening leather. It takes about 2 to 3 days to get to 40 and all you have to do is afk questing. Your class changes drastically once you get your second set so it's not that big a deal to grind a bit more and get a better feel for a character. Kylra posted:How many alts will I need?

The ability to make a fully customized skillset is so overwhelming. If anyone's looking for a class to try out, Shaolin get pretty interesting skills, like a bunch of aoe spinny staff crap in tier 2, and fist magic in tier 3. I have no idea what is a 'good' skill build for them, so I just picked the skills I've liked using the most

More questions, kill me. I'm playing House Tong, it's a good time. PvE is a sinch, PvP is... Less. Don't have the third set just yet, but soon. Anyway, I'm having trouble doing aim mode with my character in the way. Is there a way to have it zoom all the way in, first-person mode, automatically or no? Doing it manually is a little to slow and somehow I imagine this is a hidden option somewhere.

As soon as I logged in tonight I got a big alert that Alcoholic had gotten married to someone. Was that our Alcoholic? I imagine there were plenty of drunks getting married in ancient china. [EDIT] Also, whoever asked about whether the bundles are are per character or per account, they're apparently per character. I opened a support ticket for confirmation, they told me that the bundles were single character and there was nothing they could do about it... then sent me a free code for another bundle anyway. So, who knows. I had just picked up a starter pack anyway. Strangely, I got significantly different things out of the two I've opened. My one I got with the free code didn't come with a big bag in it like it was supposed to, but did come with a free white horse mount. And then a small bag. Hey, I figure I can get bags later, the free white horse is pretty nice. Zaodai fucked around with this message at 06:21 on Jul 9, 2014 |

The only thing that is supposed to be account wide is the Hero pack apparently, so if yours isn't open a ticket. Also if you open a ticket and they don't do anything about it you'll probably end up with a leveling pack code eventually

Stupid newbie question(s) time. 1) There was an Event that said for level 10+ (unlike most of the ones that were 31+) that was to destroy the Blade Rain gang. It said to basically go to any of the areas outside the major cities, and I had to head to one of those for quests anyway, but I couldn't find out how I was supposed to complete that event. I assume Blade Rain guys would randomly spawn in one of those areas and none of them happened to be in Wu Tang mountain when I was there? 2) Do I end up getting my first 3) I'm only level ~22 on my Shaolin guy so far, is it better for GoonTang if I hold off on applying until I'm a higher level so as to not take up a slot?

This game is very fun! I'm playing as shaolin and group PvP, Shaolin is an amazing combat/control fighter! Not to mention that my tankness is huge! But 1v1, I can only beat a few classes. If you are a loner, I wouldn't suggest Shaolin, but otherwise (PVE and group PVP) I fully recommend going Shaolin! I also wish that this game would allow Mutli Client, IT would be cool to bot your main acc and you level an alt with a different acc you know! angellinck fucked around with this message at 08:42 on Jul 9, 2014 |

It's "allowed" globally, as far as I call tell, for all PWE games with two clients per IP. A seemingly unenforced limitation. The problem is, the Great Upgrade to the new and improved Arc client carried the unintentional downside (upsides still unclear) of preventing that poo poo, to be fixed in the future as per some support response months ago. Wouldn't get my hopes up. You can work around this by running virtual machines if you want, but unlike in AoW, you'll rarely feel you're missing out by not running an entire server farm of dudes. Except, of course, once you crash into those server farms running vermin/mirage. Right now I'm looking at a bot magnate's stall account with close to 2000 socketing stones and embed charms for sale

4chan is active as the moon branch with a moon lord. Werkwerk and others, start kicking out some white tigers that are useless or goons that are low to make room. We will gain 30 more spots when we gain more gold, so in a day or two we will have no room issues. But for now just make sure we got 5 or 10 open spots.

Well I found next next chinagame for 2 years from now when Swordsman goes to poo poo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLQ22aF_SS4 poo poo looks straight baller. As for the now there are plenty of goons and pubbies who are at <50 contribution points who joined days ago so there is plenty of room for culling.

I just kicked 5 goons who joined 4+ days ago and were low level with zero contribution. If you happen to be one of these goons, you lost nothing. If/when you play the game again, just reapply.

Yesterday I maybe played 30 minutes spread across the day: mostly looking over at game, clicked the autopathing etc. I gained half a level and hit 45. The rewards randomed from Kungu point, extra XP, school specific teleport scrolls and lvl 1 refinement stone. Between this and the daily gem reward, it's pretty nice as simple rewards for logging in. funakupo fucked around with this message at 11:19 on Jul 9, 2014 |

I have my doubts whether PWE gives a gently caress even if you run five clients, but two is the amount they explicitly allow. If you don't want to risk getting banned, think twice about those mirage/vermin farming groups. I'll probably get one going anyway, get banned and just cry and bitch and moan myself out of it for "not knowing these draconian rules"

Its really hard to pick guilds to attack. Anything in United or Zhou alliances is gonna be a guaranteed loss and the anime guilds have only a handful of level 40-45 at their disposal when we attack them. The worst one so far was that Brazil guild that was so loving demoralized between our total bloodbath in their base and world cup match with Germany just ending. Those guys literally quit before the war even started because of goons blowing up the base waiting for the clock to start. I am going to say that all massacre style guild events we are going to crack at 20:00 server time so we are in protection time and cannot be invaded. We appear to be one of very few guilds(People tell me they see others but I have never seen any) that actually declare guild wars every day so pissing everyone off and then trying to run an event outside of protection time in the base is just a waste of the protection time we are given. With that being said I am looking at doing normal guild war attacks on others at 19:00 or 21:00 so before or after our daily guild event time. For all of you not understanding what is going on with how the guild wars work here is a bit of a breakdown. War Formats. - Declarations of war can be placed on guilds between the time of 18:00 - 24:00 - There are three types of attacks. Show of Force, Take station and Contest Force(Yeah I forget the name of that one) - Show of Force is the one we normally do. You kill three targets and each one dead applies some kind of negative effect to the defenders. - We have not done a Take Station yet because that one will probably rile some serious feathers and activate dormant PvP dormant guilds. (We currently have an advantage in large group warfare experience) - The Contest Force one is if some guild that has domination over a zone denies our branch in the zone. We can then tell them to kindly gently caress off with their poo poo. Show of Force Prep. Get in before Wardec reason. - When attack other guilds in the Show of Force format we are prompted to select 36 guild members to participate. These 36 are the attackers. - If you are not selected (Green check mark in Guild members list) you can sneak into the war by being present prior to the war declaration in the offending guild base. - I will be giving a 10 min warning prior to declaring war so unchecked players can get in on the war. - The worst part of Show of Force is that the defending guild appears to be allowed to defend with all members of their guild. - When the war is declared there is a 15 min preparation countdown until the war starts. Why to stay dead if we are getting our poo poo pushed in before war start. - Before the war begins all outsiders that are killed are dropped into a spawn point that has no protection from spawn camping. - When the war prep countdown ends and the war begins a Defense tower will spawn in the attacker's spawn point. - If you are killed in pvp you will suffer durability damage. - With the above three in mind. If we are getting slammed in a guild base before the war starts then do not respawn so you do not suffer gear breakage. Greenlight Policy. - Due to not knowing the state of the opposition a guild will be putting up I will be green checking the top 36 highest level online players in the guild. - If you are in the top 36 and do not want to participate please inform me in guild chat or whisper so I can skip over you. By default I will believe every greenlit goon will be showing up. - If you really want in on this poo poo but are lower level please inform me. I will make room to greenlight a bloodthirsty goon somehow. Really Simply put. Get in the opponent's guild base before the Wardec and wreck poo poo. Also if none of you know I am Alcoholic in Game.
