Uh, you still do your dailies at cap, you just get cultivation instead of normal exp I'm told. There's the 5-man dungeon runs (aka Umbrella Lady Supremecy), one or two world events that spring up, killing the world bosses, killing the special world bosses (but I don't know their deal), and doing your profession stuff (I been doing that a lot, I like the treasure hunter).

Also CARTS CARTS CARTS CARTS I haven't tried robbing people's carts yet but I've certainly gotten my poo poo kicked in by people who were. I think there are SUPER CARTS too where people get whole raids together but that only happens at like 8:00 am where I am so I haven't seen it.

There's also daily faction combat stuff, one thing on the over-world and one thing at set times in instances. I've seen the faction fortresses slowly getting built up, but I don't know the who why or how of it.

There's a guild type event too but it is also early morning so I don't know.

I'm currently hanging out with some Chinese ppl on the designated Server, but really most Chinese are a helpful bunch and most have a good understanding of english so if you are not an introvert MMO'er you'll have no issues.
So far I do a lot of sightseeing just following the questline (There is no sidequests only the main story quest really so its very linear and easy to follow) the Chinese keep prodding me to join Blue Team (there is Blue Red Yellow and White, and they can hold territories I think) Schools have much less of an affect on you than in Wushu, same with Guilds I see many different people of many diffrent Guilds tackle tasks together for their color...

So far the language barrier has prevented me from knowing the real effects of if you are Blue Red or Yellow... it reminds me of Babylon 5

from what I've read, as a guild you choose what faction to support.

From there guilds compete within the faction for control of that faction so that they may go to war with the other factions.

There actually are side quests, there's just no real quest log so it took me until like level 30 to realize it. They show up as little yellow arrows on your main map. You go there and either talk to a person or walk around in circles until an instance triggers. The odd thing is some of them are mandatory for character progression. You have to finish the questline to unlock some node in your meridian charts. All questlines give small but permanent stat bonuses though, so you'd probably have done them anyway.

Unlimited character face pinching is probably another way of saying character customization.

From what we've seen of the Wudu set, they like to go invisible and hide crows in their clothing that fly out when they do kungfu. The guys don't like to wear shirts and the girls like to stab themselves in the chest.

I only got to mess around with Shenwei, Beggars, and Taibai. I think Zhenwu are the ezmode class? Even though in the chargen Shenwei are listed as the lowest difficulty class but probably only because they're tankier.

I played a Zhenwu a little bit, and I can see why people like them, but I didn't. Pretty much they have one move that creates an ink-shadow dude based on whatever your last move was. It gives them a decent amount of depth, as well pretty good mobility and probably the best AoE CC. They just felt really stiff and meticulous to me in comparison to how snappy some of the others were.

In case anyone is on the fence about the other classes, the things I've noticed are:

Beggar has the only pull I've seen, though it does take a bit of setting up. I love them but the almost 0 ranged skills hurts sometimes.

Taibai is a little gimped in pvp, because they're light on CC in comparison to other classes. They rely more on blocks and dodges instead. They play a little like beggars but... worse? They also have a hit-things-to-build-resources system, but some of their moves require resource to use instead of just getting an added benefit like beggar. For instance, the Taibai dash requires resource, and can push you through the enemy, so your back is to them. The beggar dash will build energy, dashes you in front of the enemy, and also knocks them down. Same thing with the grabs, where the beggars seems objectively better. I might be missing something though.

Shenwei has a move that gives CC immunity, which makes them the only one that can jump into a group of players without getting stunlocked.

Tianxiang are the only healers, and one is needed in every dungeon group, but more than one is fine, because they can DPS also. So if you like dungeons, being one always guarantees you a spot. The 'palm lock' skill you can get from the music profession is apparently broken good on them too.

Tangmen can be annoying to do dungeons with. That's because they sometimes do too much damage to bosses and steal agro because there don't seem to be proper taunt skills. This leads to them kiting in circles while everyone else tries to stick to the chasing boss.

Put your real location, not china land china or it will say your ip is wrong and fucky ou
If you gently caress up too much on this step it will flag you as a bot, ban your ip, and yuo have to use a vpn / proxy to register.
Don't gently caress it up, keep it simple stupid, don't lie. Most people don't need to put in a SMS verification for this, if you do, you may of hosed up too many times.

I know i'm going to sound like someone offering methadone when there is a stash of pure china lightning just around the corner but Age of Wulin is turning out to be a nice place and webzen greed is more resonable.

- You get a single, full server (group purchase sometime max out at 500) and they managed to keep kidnapping at something similar to the old system (kidnap once every hour, max 15L, VIP only, turning kidnap at the same place no longer give you a bonus) past the factions expansion.

- 99gold sets stay in cash shop at 99gold forever, no bullshit jade tokens and "buy now or lose it forever" artificial rarity. Outfits and pets work the same way, once stuff is released it stay released.

- Almost no bots aside gold sellers spam. No ressources, steal or spy bots.

Of course its still pay2Win, ancient cash set still own you and you will never get the old band together to bark at the viets but if you gently caress up your MBO install or cant stand Glorious PRC runes it might give you a fix.

The biggest issue with Wulin that I had, was that its Jianghu friendship is magic:
I was ridiculed by the "Badass" Guild for suggesting fighting over the Worldboss.. "We dont want to get rednamed" "Why compete if there is two Worldbosses and 2 Teams we can share and care...
Other than that it was, hey lets hide in YMP to grind gear for duels and Mt.Hua, the only person in that guild that I felt actually lived up to the hate it got was our own BigBo, who I've recently seen on GoldenPanda stirring trouble there so eh...
