PassiveSentence posted:Who wants to take a wild guess on the rates of gold vs jade powder and 30day vs perm rabbit from the boxes? My alt got one of the very very few jade powders from the boxes. I've not met a single person yet who got a permanent bunny. New skill set is really really drat good for 1v1 control (assuming your ping is decent, so of course all the viets have already given up on the set after plopping $30 on it but I bought it for a bit over 1 ding because gently caress giving snail money forever). You have 2 charges which have long enough animations that you can do the 6 CD, 10 CD, 6 CD combo and if you use one of the charges before the other it increases your charging speed which can be really drat nice (especially in arenas/etc where there's no autoparry). The feint is a targeted AoE which can be used to dash up to 20 meters to feint so you can jump in the air and then suddenly dash down and feint them (this is hilarious). The feint knocks people down as well as another skill that's ranged and knocks them up into the air (if they're not parrying, of course). You then use the "spam" on them on the ground as it has a 10 second cooldown but if you land it on them while they're not parrying you can use it twice more. Second hit stuns for 2 seconds, third hit sends them flying. There's also a poke move that puts a debuff on the opponent and you get yellow armor and it also seems to be ranged (it's a minor debuff, at least at level 1; paralyzed (not stunned) for 2 seconds, -10% movespeed, and seems to reduce flying skill distance a bit, which is about the only good part -- it also buffs the user +10% movespeed, small increase in flying skill distance and increases charge range to 10 meters all buffs last 5 seconds). The rage doesn't do a whole lot of damage and it's an AoE yellow armor 7 hit rage but it seems that it stuns either people trying to hit you or people you're hitting with it (the text is unclear and I've personally not used it a lot in 1v1's since it's mostly supplemental damage that really isn't worth using). Also, sky ladder is going to be hilarious. While ancient sets are allowed, you only get to pick 3 sets to take with you. I'm quite certain that most everyone will take Taiji Sword just to keep flying horse and if people take ancient tai chi with them they're heavily gimping themselves into having only a single good DPS set (probably 9 palaces these days). Also note that this makes sets with active parries amazing since nobody is going to take Boundless just for Turn Weapon nor will they take Departed Stings if they're not an Emei just for Far & Removed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOaGr52tKAQ This is a video of a guy who mostly has good ping (he has lag spikes but that's mostly on the server side because snailgameschinaedition) that uses Headbutts, Holy Wind Dagger and Taiji Sword (even uses the in-air knockdown at one point, it was a good play) destroying idiot pay2wins who bring ancient sets in.

Natalie_Luna posted:Doesnt really gimp dogebeating though if you have that and fh what else would you even want . Dogbeating can be pretty easily countered if they don't lead with the knockup since you can active parry counter and beat their face in. BackKiu does that very often as do other terrorists since their ping is so bad that dodging their knockup is hilariously easy. Seriously best thing will be the lack of autoparry which means infinite combos will be much easier for me to pull off (as much as I hate dueling that is one of my favorite parts). I'm sure I'll end up not caring about the ladder because I don't have full jade but it should be a bit fun for a while.

Natalie_Luna posted:Any news on the droprate for ancient frags in there? Or point ratio Absolutely nothing yet from Snail. 9yin might have info but I tire of reading google translated Chinese. First day is the 6th from what I read on their site so hopefully they have more info up by then. Also they've yet to autocomplete the event (I guess they will this evening) that needs 1000 players to complete and as of this morning we had 260 or so and that includes alts.

I agree, terrible textures and combat that is broken through a single AHK script can not compare to Swordsman's combat which includes the ability to cancel animations as a feature, an arena system where gear doesn't matter, and the lack of pay to win ancient sets.

Probably but the carts are different. They run 1 cart a day for mercenaries and bandits run 3 cart hijacks a day. These involve npcs. If you make them into pvp events you can remove people from the merc cart for 1 minute and make them fail their daily.

Anal Papist posted:Silly stuff Exactly. I tried Swordsman online and i really hoped to like it but after leveling every school to 20 and half of them to 40 i realized the "pick a single class, forever" feature was the deal killer for me. I had more fun watching the 2013 TV drama of the book than playing it. The game has many qualities and is objectively more polished than AoW, but i got into AoW on the feature that it was a skill based character progression instead of class based. That turned out to be a half-truth, but it was good enough to stay for a while. In the grand scheme of things, our preference for either game and its future are meaningless, as for every one of us there is 10k Chinese players throwing money at either game. The games will go on the way the Chinese market decide and we can only hope the resulting competition will someday yield a better quality of crumbs for us to enjoy. Thankfully Archeage is fun so far and catgirls aside, Trion seem to understand why the west find the game interesting. aleksendr fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Aug 2, 2014 |

I'm going through right now. You need a c5 or powder, the same binding agent as for c4 or c5, and an additional design item. These design items are bought from someone outside the yanmen entrance in Yanjing. Each design costs one busted item, which drop in instances (probably yanmen hard or the new line (which have really high level reqs btw)) or can be bought from a guy in suzhou for 200/400 pure yang swords. Edit: pure yang exchange is 200/400 for weapons, 120/240 for armor, 90/180 for jewelry The new set effects (gold) Clothes: Bright Clothing - being attacked may significantly reduce your opponent's hit ratio and evasion ratios (improved c5) Stinger Jacket - being attacked may skill disable opponent (improved c5?) Insect Poison Jacket - opponent gets stacks, 5 stacks paralyzes them (same as c5?) Bone Brittling Poisonous Garment - Your attacker is poisoned, with his attack power greatly reduced. Pure Gold Returns the Spirit - after being attacked, healing by treasure may be triggered, with healing effects being best for those with greater Energy-based skills.

It looks like that npc in the suzhou mortuary now gives out a quest for an item that lets you convert five aggregate pages into pure yang swords. Can class 6 gold and jade stuff be rerolled like usual?

Maybe it was the mystique of a half broken game where no one really knew how to get half of the stuff, and there really were secrets to the game because no one understood chinagame speak. The PvP was actually pretty well-designed for a while before the insane cash shop stuff became more and more prevalent.

Yeah, the game was almost balanced, back when everyone's gear sucked and most everyone was using the basic three school sets and inners. It feels like the base game was made by different people than the designers currently in charge, or at least management made them crank up the pay2win factor once they saw how much money the game was pulling in.

I blame travel skills for being cool and fun. I miss them in WildStar. Which is also dying now, because the developers are apparently inspired by Snail Games so far as I can tell. Defined attack sets were cool, too. I like not having to deal with a billion loving buttons.

The fighting's a lot more fluid and not very ping-based and as far as we can tell there won't ever be any real p2w. The rest of the game kind of sucks but it's less lovely than most MMOs, I guess.
