Are the arenas cross server? Are there character transfers?

Both arenas and dungeons are cross server, meaning you can invite friends from other servers to your lobby for sparring/running dungeons.

i actually tried sunflower and its great for leveling, but i found it easier to solo bosses i probably shouldn't have with rumblebee casting on the fly

but then again im speccing for pvp so sunflower is probably superior for pve

on that note out of my 5 matches today i had one (1) assassin that did actually try to CC my cat and focus me while popping in and out of stealth; while annoying, Doom n' Bloom basically ensured that I never dropped below 75% life

Yeah depending on what you're trying to do Rumblebees can definitely work, it will just usually take longer, since if you can actually get into Overflow regularly Sunflower does way more damage.

edit: Sunflower also overwhelmingly wins in the visual department :colbert:

Jumping in on this because I too was gonna shamelessly steal your character to use as a base. The gon standing pose with the hand on the hip makes the stomach/hip area look so weird when I try to replicate it. Anyways you want to go into your photo gallery in game which I get to by pressing esc. Then you wanna take a certain type of picture of your character, I think its called a preset portrait? After that you can find it in: C:\Users\*usename*\Pictures\BnS\CharacterCustomize.... Thanks so much!

Wasn't sure if the correct stuff was in the CharacterCustomize or CharacterShot folder, so I just grabbed the data on this one from both and stuck it here. I hope that worked!

Never played Aion before so not sure how this compares. You can think of BnS as an MMO Fighting game, like if Tekken or Street Fighter were 3rd person/massively multiplayer. It's very fast action, lots of movement, and an extremely gorgeous game. I am having a lot of fun and it's going to be hard going back to WoW's stand and shoot combat after playing this.

Literally nothing like Aion at all, with the sole exception of the qinggong gliding is kind of like how gliding in Aion was? That's about all I can say.

Open your inventory, and holding down the alt key drag and drop the potion onto the hotbar.

Its pretty easy to get into, combat is engaging enough to not get boring even though its pretty much the only thing you do, instances go by really fast and the bidding system is great to extort money from others.

The only real issue is having more things to do at cap, which the coming patches should deal with.

Please do not fall into the costume trap. Find the outfits you like most and go for them instead of getting every single one. You'll run out of inventory space really easily even having premium and the secondary storage.

You can move costumes to your "wardrobe". Doesn't take up any space that way.

I'm dissapointed that the bank people dont have voices in this version. I remember that they did have lines in the chinese version.

Speaking of different versions localizations, I'm liking the voices that are there in the English version. Very campy. But anyone found a way to get the chinese voices in this version for the authentic wuxia feeling?

Oh, ok, I get what you meant now. That skill and its follow-up skills are a serious case of inconsistent translations.

After using it, you can use Searing Palm. With training points, Searing Palm applies an effect to you that can be stacked 4 times. The skill description calls this effect three different things: Searing Palm Stage, Unrestrained Stage, and Unleashed Stage. :psyduck: Searing Palm also applies a debuff to the target, which is probably also called multiple names.

So basically, you can't get the most out of using Leading Palm until you learn Searing Palm. And NCsoft needs more editors.

yea it was pretty confusing. Thanks for the elaboration. I'm like, how the heck is this triggered? Afaik it seems to be based on lucky crits, only a 20 KFM atm. I looked at the skills for searing palm and I'm like, this can be triggered if you put a point in a rmb skill that seems to be only triggered by a successful counter, otherwise there's no prompt for it afaik. A lot of it is really just messing around until you find out how it works but Searing Palm/Leading Palm was the most misleading in terms of description :psyduck:

After talking to karate man and telling master hong to suck my dick, does the story stop there or do I just have to get to 45 first? The only quest I have is the letter that says I'm a weak baby and I need to get stronger, but I'm only 44 so I thought it could be either that or this is as far as the story goes in this update.

Is this also what's going on with FM and Phantom Grip/Shadow Grasp? I see like three skills that say they only work after Shadow Grasp but have totally failed to locate anything with that name. Also it seems like a really bad skill but that's a secondary issue.

This game seems pretty cool but I have no idea what I am doing. I made a guy on Mushin and got him to like level 10, but then I wanted to try another class and when I went to make him it said there was like a 45 minute queue on that server. Is there a frequent queue on Mushin during primetime? Also, since apparently the guild on Mushin server is full would I be better of going to the other server listed in the OP (Jiwan)? I am also having a hard time deciding what class I want to play, which usually isn't a problem for me. I have tried out Destroyer and Kung Fu Master both to level 10, but Assassin also looks cool. If I wanted to try out the Assassin I would have to delete one of my other guys though since I can only have 2 guys without paying.

~~**I'm Italian!**~~
Alright, so I'm actually having a real good time with this game surprisingly enough. The combat is incredibly fun, although I still have a hard time understanding how all the combos and stuff works. So, as a lyn bladedancer, I decided to google a bit and aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :suicide:

Seriously, I know that this other midget dude taught me some combos but I've already forgotten some of them. Now, at level 23, I decided to try some 1v1 arena PvP and I get absolutely obliterated. All my attacks are constantly blocked and parried, it feels like none of my abilities are working correctly at all as nothing seems to hit ( I can stand and face my opponent, clicking left mouse button while I have an electric charge up and the game will bluntly tell me that it doesn't work ), and I'm constantly starved for chi, and the ability descriptions aren't much to help as I'm having issues understanding how they all sync and relate to each other. I tried searching for some guides but those I found I couldn't understand at all. What I really need, I think, is just a simple guide telling me how the combat in the game works in general compared to other tab->target MMOs I'm used to playing like WoW.

How do I block / parry? How do I counter? How and why should I do the combos the tutorial taught me? What benefits will doing these combos give me when there's no clear indication whatsoever that I've done a combo? And so on and so on.
