Yeah, at first it was just going to be Leffe, Chroma, Askar, and me. We didn't want to deal with the instance restrictions, so we just decided to screw around on Malaysia for fun. The posting about it here and gathering any degree of support wasn't expected.

dungeons are actually easier to solo, they basically removed normal mode and made it a short, simple dungeon with less bosses that you can use to farm jade points easily for the week or some flight skills. I played in china after the change, was super easy to solo my own TV 3 man to get goose, it's a better system overall in my opinion.

the part about requiring a set amount of people is not true, I saw people soloing PCV/longmen when I assassinated.

also I just spent two hours doing the nangong family quest line only to learn that the NPCs for the four great families are busted, so you can't buy their sets, things are broken on this server and it is annoying

There are dungeons beyond the soloable version that actually drop skill sets and internals. These cannot be done with less players than the stated. So, if you want to farm goose forever, you absolutely can. If you want anything beyond that, you need the set number of players.

I assassinated people in dungeons beyond the solo dungeons, soloing those dungeons, and small groups in those dungeons. Soloing 12 man PCV and whatnot.

edit - in ixthuas video he even runs GCC 12 with only 3 people, there is no required minimum amount of people

That's so bizarre because it's ixthua and some others from the CN servers who are relaying that information. Maybe it doesn't affect the new servers that have limits on internals and stuff?

I guess it's a possibility, or maybe somewhere along the way wires got crossed, I think they are just saying that the instance rework adjusts the instance sizes to 3/6/12, because I've seen no evidence of needing minimum amounts of players

and people are salty over the 3 man instance loot being bound

so yea move to china plz

It's fun to poke around in chinagame again, but the malaysian servers seem dead as gently caress. I think our best bet is to jump in on the new china server that's coming in a month.

in the meantime the newest chinese server was released in june, is only on 3rd inners, and is very populated!

also I don't know for SURE if china is getting a new server but they have had a schedule of doing a new one every 2 months-ish and the last was on june 8th so

Didn't know it was that recent, thought it was like NA where servers are every big patch. I'm totally down for china servers if we can wrangle some english speakers for it.

it's actually pretty fun, you can get your ping down to around 120-130ish, which while not ideal is fun enough

ancient taichi doesn't factor in very much since the chinese pop out new servers left and right so people rush them for the fun content (up to 3rd, I guess 4th inners) then people migrate to the next new hotness

also I am not sure what sets you are referring to that are easy to get and are on par with ATC

They do but they're a lot easier to get with this version. it's not absolutely retarded like NA wushu. And i've only seen one person use them so far anyway since everyone is using school sets as they were buffed to level 13 so you can use breeze sword as your end set if you want and it can fight ancients.

Sorry mis-remembered the post, still.

well the enhanced basic school sets are viable as hell and could probably compete with ancients, especially breeze and long boxing

also the game is fun when not run into the ground by snailUSA, VIP is 5 dollars, and the translation works well enough for most important things

and no cash sets

So china chinagame is WAY more populated. This picture taken at like midnight my time.
For those of us who are already playing malaysia version, most of the hassle is the same. Still messing with poor ping, chinese names, etc. However the server we are on here is super active vs malaysia being pretty much dead.

The only pain in the rear end is the requirement for china ID. Generated ones get you in the door, but if its not legit you get flagged as under 18 with a 3 hour time limit to play. Its loving terrible. To get around this we pay someone 10bux to make an account for us with legit info, and we have a legitimate account with no restrictions.

https://www.obtgame.com/age-of-wushu-chinese-server-account.html

Looks shady but no scamerino. Download bigbos fully translated client from the discord, and hit the right server.



That's pretty much it. We have a channel for china server and a guild set-up. If you're having fun on malaysia don't feel a need to move, but if you're bored with no people china server is good.

And more importantly: Can you still puke on people to make them puke and cause massive fights?

Uh, it'll get you about 90% of the way on Malaysia and maybe like 80% on China. China is probably the place to cause ruckus though.

e: though the translation is irrelevant just hit the yellow part of the quest text and autopath to glory.

Oh, it's literally that translation just overlaid on top of whatever server. When you start to hit new stuff, that's when the translation runs out. However, I was running around without it just because one of the translations makes it impossible to autopath to new stuff, and I managed to complete an entire 3 hour quest chain just by hitting autopath text.

Unless they changed the underlying code, I don't see why not. I remember looking at it a long time ago and some of the things you could do with it were, uh, interesting, to say the least.

My favorite thing was that you could literally put a hotlink to any website into your speech and there was no way for anyone to figure out that it was a link and where it would take you until you clicked it.
