Nat played through some of it on the Chinese servers and said that boss combat actually takes skill to fight instead of being an HP wall (!!!) but that also combat is somewhat ping dependent. No clue if it's as bad as Wushu where the server just takes in the first command it receives so you're literally hosed if you have higher ping but it's there.

She has a chinese friend who helped her get into the CBT.

I'm done with MMOs even though I'd love to try it, I just don't have the time for them anymore and have basically only been on my handhelds for the past 2 months. At least Monster Hunter isn't ping dependent for SP :shobon:

Flute set ended up being 100% better at single target air tanking since it doesn't need rage to stay in the air permanently. The spam (and spam utility move you could use after 3 spams) also hit like a truck because loving internal sets.

The new instance is even worse. Six bosses with instant kill gimmicks. The last one has a one minute long phase where he does huge damage to anyone standing on the ground. The room you fight him in has a very low ceiling. Snail really is something special.

That Killing Intent thing looks cool as hell. Spend rage to force yourself and a target into a separate instance for a little bit.

That sounds like some of the best parts of swordsman and wushu. I hope it's easy to keep people from running in circles constantly cause it's always the least cool parts of pvp in these games.

quote:

Experience can also be obtained through performing daily role-playing quest. Each player will be given a random daily quest which involves one of the role-playing experiences, including calligraphy/painting, wild animal hunting, goods delivery, robbery, treasure hunting or assassination. If you don’t like the quest given, you can request the game to change it to another random activity (once per day).

quote:

Certain instances are only accessible during day or night in-game; for example, the first instance which is a solo assassination instance can only be performed at night (in-game)

quote:

The 2 major aspects for character growth in Moonlight Blade Online are character level which increases with “Experience” and meridian system, which requires investment of “Cultivation”.

quote:

Killing mobs in the dungeon or world map does not grant you any experience at all.

quote:

Typically, it only takes about ~10-15 minutes to fully convert these “free” experience/cultivation points. If you are in a party, the meditation process is sped up by 5% per person. If someone nearby is playing musical instrument, the process of absorbing experience and cultivation is further speed up by 20%.

quote:

There are various Inspiration Points in the world map where players can visit and gain "Inspiration". These locations are typically very scenic and offer breathtaking view of the area. Upon discovery of these points, the game will automatically store the Inspiration, which can be converted to either Experience or Cultivation point through meditation anywhere (you do not have to meditate at that location to absorb it). Each Inspiration Point can only be harvested once in your whole game lifetime.

quote:

The painting or calligraphy produced by yourself can be admired (or rather consumed) to gain cultivation point as well.

meridians

quote:

New node activations require "Nodal Points", which can only be obtained through side quest. These side quests are marked on the map, but certain quests can only be activated under specific weather condition or day/night.

quote:

The Skill Meridian network is another interesting feature of the meridian system. It allows you to boost certain battle skills by activation of new nodes. The activation condition of new nodes in Skill Meridian is slightly different from other meridians. It requires player to challenge certain NPC’s to 1-on-1 duel and defeat them in battle

quote:

For example, the 2nd node for ZhenWu Skill Meridian offers 3 options for improving Charged Slash: (1) Reduce charging time by 0.3, 1st hit suppresses the target (2) The sword chi travels forward and generates a strong suction effect (3) damage increase 20%, sword chi stays on the field for additional 1 sec.


tldr you can slot stats and what not into meridians, and you get skill books you slot into them to get new skills, and you can change some skills based on what you unlock
