uh that one Emei buff thing

I think I maxed out at a speed of 24.2. Horses went 7.5

The addition of Vagrant sets gave you even more options. With enough buff you could go faster than the rendering of the terrain and players, making you move on an empty flat map but with the lag nobody could even target you in SS once you got your speed up. Basic speed was 3, old horses went 5.5 and better horses up to 10.5

MY OPINION IS SEERS OF THE THRONE PROPAGANDA IGNORE MY GNOSIS-IMPAIRED RAMBLINGS
You know, every time I see this thread bumped to the top I wonder if Wushu has turned it's crappy self around and goons are back. Then I get excited only to see that the days of Drunk Squad and other associated dickery are gone for good.

God damnit. :(


Edit:

quote:

We interviewed Snail Games' Vice President Sun Dahu at ChinaJoy 2016 and talked about their upcoming sandbox MMORPG Age of Wushu 2. Sun revealed many interesting gameplay details to us and you can't miss them whether you are fans of martial arts or sandbox games.

Players may ask what exactly the sandbox world looks like in Age of Wushu 2, and how much freedom they can expect.

In Age of Wushu, if you've become a martial arts master, you stay a martial arts master no matter you are online or offline. However in Age of Wushu 2, even the best martial arts master can become vulnerable when he logs out. It's like your character falls asleep and can be attacked and crippled by anyone.

How to protect yourself? If you are familiar with Chinese martial arts culture and the novels, you know many masters rest in their secret places and are even guarded by their own warriors. That means in the game, you don't simply logout in the middle of the street but look for a safe place to go offline.

What does it like to become crippled in the game?

You won't lose the martial arts you've learned but you won't be able to use them for a while. Of course, you are crippled means you are weak and you need a long time to recover. Your weapons, scrolls and other gear can be taken away by other players. (That's like full loot PvP)


You can step on a leaf

The physics are there and all combat is based on physics. As long as your Qinggong is good enough, you can actually step on a leaf. (I still can't believe it could happen but that's what he said)

How does a player learn new martial arts?

First and foremost, learning martial arts isn't completing a quest or reading a scroll. Players have to visit the martial arts master, and of course they don't know where to find them at the beginning. These masters are NPCs, like the NPCs on the streets. There is NPC intimacy system but it's very different to Age of Wushu's.

VR support will be available when the game releases

It'll be a naturally VR experience. However, you can play casual content in VR such as free exploration. Combat doesn't support VR so you have to take off your VR headset when you are going into a fight.
We've studied many VR games and we saw how amazing they were and we also learned that most of them weren't supposed to be immersive but casual.

You know, on the face of it the idea that you can remove someone's combat abilities sounds terrible. But coming from someone who spent hours theory-crafting how to ruin someone's day using different styles and just generally be a horrible rear end in a top hat to the rest of the game I can see the merit in it given how the rest of Wushu is. Ditto for countering the issue of pay for win kung fu that contributed to loving the game up so horribly. If it's done right by Snail (HAHAHAHAHA) it'd be great for fixing one of the big issues that chased everyone off the game.

Don't like that some guild is puking on you to the point that your screen is tinged a blurry shade of alcohol and vomit? Just find them and kneecap their asses when they're asleep like some sort of ancient chinese mafia. Maybe they'll think twice about being a dick to you when they wake up to find they can't dragon-kick properly.

Ditto for huge guilds using their advanced skills to gently caress with smaller guilds and just dominate everything with a mix of veterancy and cash. Imagine the tears if smaller guilds get together and decide to start smashing some kneecaps to ensure that they or specific ultra-autistic members can never use their bullshit styles in large events or on their own time. It'd make the tears we generated in Wushu seem mild by comparison.

Same goes for losing gear (Holy gently caress. That's a huge change in the metagame. :stare:). Goons being goons aside, the gear gap is one of the other biggest things about the game that ended up killing it. Never mind that it's largely a static thing once everyone in a group has their gear so crafters kind of got hosed. The only thing i'd say is a downside is that people will be screaming at whoever the poor bastard is that handles crafting for PAAAAANNNNTS clothes even twice as louder as they did before.


I mean, it sounds like it's a terribly vicious system with horrible potential to be abused. But I don't think it'd top being able to sell female PC's into sexual slavery while they were offline. So whatever.

If the thing work as you described they will sell "exclusion items" making you unable to be attacked offline for real money. Everything will be for sale for P2W one way or another.

Even if that ultimately ends up being the case when it's released I can't see an exclusion item working for most large guilds unless they're dropping like almost a thousand bucks on the game per month. Hell, knowing your average Wushu player it'll probably just make them angrier when they realize their super special skills aren't being saved by shelling out the big bucks.

It's a pretty good idea given how the rest of Wushu is, is what i'm saying.

Just so everyone knows, you could get your gear locked away in Age of Wushu

You just had to have a person with stupid high opposite-alignment to kill you and then there was a stupid low chance of it happening, so I'm sure that's how it'll be in #2 because snailgames

It was still hilarious to watch people run away from high alignment people, though, since it could cost a couple hundred unbound just to get their gear back from a single death :v:

I actually had one of those ridiculously expensive accounts for that hot mess. Like $200-$500 dollars. I think it was a gift by a family member. Coincidentally, i'm pretty sure that family member secretly hates me.

I wonder if i'll get all the cool poo poo that it came with? I remember I owned a loving dragon as a result of being a founder/funding the game's development. Riding it around and terrorizing everyone on my fire breathing death lizard was literally the only fun thing to do in that game.

Im guessing because NCsoft already has a stranglehold on every variety of MMO in the korean market so trying to make a straight up updated lineage doesnt make sense. Aion and B&S have their markets in korea and still make a lot of money too. So they just try to diversify and see if they can strike gold.

With enough players it was entirely possible to organize a game of volleyball. And by volleyball I mean "keep this poor bastard aerial, stunned, and unable to do anything until he dies or freaks out in chat". The only real consideration was that they could potentially break the stuns and knocks if you didn't have enough people or they hosed up.

Wanderer's Valley was the true end game class. High skill requirements for all their kung-fu but if you could use it you could stomp literally anything. Especially if you were in a group and could chain your knocks and stuns.


Edit: The Beggar group was also top tier early on before we taught the game the virtues of being able to eliminate drunkenness on demand. Descending from the rooftops to cripple some guy with our poisonous alcoholic vomit before setting him on fire from the fumes of our puke as he slowly staggered away from our onslaught was amazing. Especially since it completely hosed your ability to play the game.

Also another point in favor of Beggars: Being able to do some sort of batshit insane atomic aerial pile driver. That ability was pure karma when group training in areas like the WV zone. I mean, yeah, whatever. You're a dick to people who are dance battling group training. Guess what? We're on top of a mountain, you're next to the edge, and i've got a knock-up and the ability to give you the quickest possible trip to the ground floor. :black101:
