 WUSHU IS DEAD It's China only right now so enjoy moon runes. However, there is a noticable English speaking presence on the server so don't let that dissuade you. Third World Reggin posted:gently caress you, china game  HI HELLO, GOON PRESENCE IS ALL BUT GONE ON WUSHU SERVERS (there are literally like 2 guys left) -- IF YOU REALLY WANT TO PLAY, YOU CAN PLAY ON WULIN AS IT HAS A HIGHER PLAYERBASE (still only like 2 goons there too  ) BUT I WOULD DISCOURAGE PLAYING IN THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE:  Age of Welcome to the land of Ancient China that features Kung Fu Fighting as well as poor translations! Age of Wushu is a F2P MMO (although paying for VIP monthly for the low cost of $9 helps quite a bit, if you want to treat it as a sub) that also features open world PvP meaning that you can attack anyone anytime and expect them to kill you because they've probably dropped your life savings on their character! NEWBIE GUIDE TO USE: http://www.ageofwushu.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=6477 WE ARE ON BLUE DRAGON SERVER MAKE SURE YOU APPLY TO GoonTangClan AND NOT GoonTangCIan (they look the same in-game with the font, so type out the entire name) To search for guild:FebrezeNinja posted:You have to check the circle on the upper-right with the swirl thing before searching for some dumb reason. yes this is dumb CURRENT NEWS Everyone is getting prepped up for the next patch since 6 new factions (schools but not schools) as well as the Schoolless class are being added into the game. Also, weather effects and tons of world events! Patch information: 6 new factions being added (see second post) Weather effects! Morning/Noon/Night as well as rain/fog/thunderstorms and more! Several world events that can be read about in far more detail here: http://www.ageofwushu.com/static/txb/event01.html Current diplomatic report or whatever Shinobi imploded a couple months ago with quite a few joining our other ally, NoTrabbu and all the pay2wins joining the ~new neutral guild~ named Chaos. You can thank Mutou and his e-girlfriend for the meltdown (which was quite hilarious). The rest of Shinobi formed a new guild named Ressurection who took their spot on our ally list. Counter-Terrorists: Notrabbu - Literal 4chan group who are probably are closest bros right now (  how did this happen) currently headed by Leffe.Ressurection - Former Shinobis usually either led by Nick (fakeazn/JinYS) or xOneShot. Fewer active members than NoTrabbu but still come in force to wars. TangChao - Very few TC remain that helped us get into the game over a year ago but several still show up to guild wars even if they're in a greatly diminished state compared to a year ago. They're currently headed by Dokey is but I've heard rumor he might quit the guild soon (maybe the game too?). Terrorists: Thendiahoi - Our forever enemies, TDH are Viets who came to the US version to try and conquer everything with their superior knowledge of the game and ended up being trounced by goons and allies. They're becoming more and more inactive as days go on. Huatah!!!!!!!!!! - This group of ragtag players follow the whims of The Last Bastion of E-Honour known as Heiji. They're bad. Like really bad. Rebellion - A "me too" group that, for some reason, follow CallMeKing who is a notorious pay2win that is really awful at the game. Be aware that if you attack one they love to call in their friends to dogpile because they can't win fights 1v1. Current Wars: Huatah stole a base from TangChao which will helpfully limit the amount of wars they can declare (seriously it was a near nightly affair for a couple of weeks which got old) since they'll have to drop protection and possibly lose their base by doing so. TDH is mostly inactive but still brings a fair few people to defensive wars as well as literally hiding bucket alts inside of walls and then responding "yeah, and?" when pressed about it. gently caress TDH. OLD OP: quote:Age of Wushu is an “old-school” MMO that might be casually equated to EVE Online with better mechanics (more on that later). It is a game based entirely on the Chinese Wuxia novels, so you won't see “Sinister Strike” or “Charge” in this game – nope, it's all about poo poo like “To Mourn a Dead Mother”, “Swallow the Whale”, and “No Dogs Under Heaven”. Wuxia comprises a large body of literature, so there's a lot to the story beyond what's presented in the game currently. Occasionally, we'll hold Wuxia movie viewing parties if you want to get into the background of the game.

The Factions To join any other faction, there's 3 ways to do it. 1. Betray your school and then join the faction (you can join Vagrants in between and nab those skillsets as well before joining). This makes you lose all of your school internals and skill sets. You may join the Vagrants after betraying or join another school or faction after. 2. Get a leave of absence from your headmaster. This knocks all your skills down to 4 and also disables your 4th skillset and bumps your 4th inner max level to 40. You cannot join the Vagrants. 3. Disguise yourself. You can do the express way of buying makeup for 5.5 Ding or do some quests that needs some instance items and other things (we don't have a full list yet). This disables your 4th skillset, however you keep your other sets at their current levels and also retain use of your 4th internal. You cannot join the Vagrants. The Vagrants The Schoolless option to playing Wushu. Previously this was a dumb, dumb route to take as you cannot do many things such as learn arrays or do anything such as script stealing. Now, though, you get 2 new skillsets as well as the ability to learn arrays and join in script stealing tasks and such. Being a Vagrant also gives the use of 2 new skillsets, an external damage kicking set which has great combo ability since a few moves are multihit (you can use them multiple times in certain timeframes) and is full of ways to knock your opponent on their rear end. It also features an active parry that functions as a counter. The other skillset is an internal damage blade set that has a red armor teleporting move that can hit up to 4 targets or if you use the utility buff you can hit a single target up to 4 times. It's also flashy as hell (as is the kicking set). The Vagrants also gain access to higher levels of the internal Self Recollection as a 1st internal and then a new 2nd internal for schoolless people (this is to use as a stepping stone to join factions) that is equal to school 2nd inners, which unfortunately limits its usefulness. Their 2nd internel, Ice Chi, has the effect of applying a DoT effect and slowing the opponent (according to Snail's site).  VAGRANTS THAT BETRAYED READ THIS  This guy is around 506, 456 in the Suzhou martial arts school. Talk to him if you betrayed and he hands you mountains of pill and cult to make up for the inners you lost from the school. I finished leveling my kicks to 5 and nearly all of my blade to 5. Then Self Recollection to 42 and the 2nd Vagrant inner to 29 (almost to 30, which seems to be the cap so far). I'm now sitting on tons of pills for Peach Blossom set + inner. He gave me 3859 pills total and about 1800 of those were free cult (18mil cult) and the others cultivated skills. NOTE: All 6 factions have a chance to spawn a Random Encounter for you to join. Normal Factions Beast Villa http://www.ageofwushu.com/static/txb/wssz.html Those who have played the game before should know about Beast Villa, located in Beggar's Sect, as one of the more annoying factions because it's a large sprawling area that most bosses are at the end of. Now, though, the area actually has a use since it's home to one of the new factions. This faction is Yang and Hard which makes it a nice new home to disgruntled Royal Guards and Shaolin players. Oh, and did I mention the skillset is External? None of that stupid internal/yanghard annoyance with this school. Internal Effect: while attacking there is a 15% chance skill will not cost energy and will recover 218 energy (20s cd); if health drops below 15% - shield will be activated for 12s, using energy to absorb 90% of damage instead of health (1 energy absorbs 5 damage). Their skillset, Dragon and Tiger Overlord Fist, is an external damage barehanded set that's all about building stacks to increase damage heavily. Special Gameplay: Sacred Beasts If players wish to control the sacred beast, they must first form a good relationship . This can be done after obtaining training certification. Once obtained, collect various treasures (Obtained from Villa of Beasts events) to the beast's trust. Once trusted by the sacred beast, you may name it and summon it for battle. Joining through the main story: Find the Villa of Beasts Guide (589,853) at the Beggars' Sect and ask to join. Fulfill the Guide's given condition to join. Other Requirements:
The player must kill beasts that have escaped from Villa of Beasts (King Snake Beggars Sect, Poison Scorpion Wanderers Valley, Green Eye Tiger King Jinling) to obtain recruit certification. Disciples of Villa of Beasts can exchange Villa of Beasts Certificates for a recruit certificate at Peng Jian (Beggars Sect 594,928) and then sell it to other players. Golden Needle Sect http://www.ageofwushu.com/static/txb/jzsj.html A Tai Chi faction that can literally restore your manhood if you had it lopped off before using ~secret ancient Chinese sorcery~. This is a semi-support faction whose skillset is a ranged Needle set, so if you like Tai Chi internals and want to be a fake Tangmen look no further. Internal Effect: while in combat if you didn't receive damage within 7s - recover 6% of max health and 4% of max mana; if you die - all friendly players within 16m will recover health/energy equal to 60% of your max health/energy and their damage will be increased by 20% for 20s, they cannot receive this effect again within 5 minutes. Their skillset, Triple Yang Needle Skill, is a ranged needle set that also has some heal effects that you can pass onto allies as well. Special Gameplay: Reclaim Your Manhood A master of the Golden Needle Sect happened upon an ancient script which records a skill to recover dead muscle and flesh. After studying it for a long time, the master uncovered a way to use this skill to restore ones manhood. He named this skill Working Miracles. The top ten players on the Medicinal Value ranking list will receive the Working Miracles skill, which they may use to take the needfulplayers to the Surgery Administrator to reclaim their manhood. Activate Meridians The champion of the Medicinal Value Ranking List can use this skill to activate meridians for other players. Joining: Players have 3 ways of joining the Golden Needle Sect - Though the main story, random encounter, and through players with the Shen family name. Joining through the main story:
Other Requirements: The player must be not be part of a school or of any other faction, and must have reached Realized Potential. Xu Family Manor http://www.ageofwushu.com/static/txb/xjz.html The only other Yang and Hard faction, Xu Family Manor is the one of the 4 factions that require a specific alignment to join (although a neutral player may join as well, it seems). After joining, you can use some support functions (such as a campfire that gives out buffs) as well as gaining the skillset that lets you use a ruler to beat people to death. Internal Effect: during attack has a 15% chance to get a one of 3 effects for 13s (30s cd) - accuracy is greatly increased, immunity to being disarmed, or immunity from being denied from using skills; while under attack has a 15% chance to reduce enemy damage by 1% and increase own damage by 0.5%, stacks 12 times, lasts 60s. Their skillset, Black Ink Ruler Skill, uses a Ruler (a Dagger can be used for a -30% damage debuff) to beat people to death with and apply several debuffs. Special Gameplay: Campfire Xu Family Manor disciples can learn the special skill: Campfire. Players can create a campfire allowing other players in the team to cook food for receiving additional buffs. The campfire can be upgraded. The higher it's upgraded, the better the food effect will be. A level 1 campfire can be obtained through a main story task; however, more advanced ones are obtained via exchanging with Yin Ping and Xu Feiyan. Joining via the Main Story: Find the Xu Family Manor Guide (771,490) at Chengdu to and ask to join. Fulfill the Guide's given condition to join. The Guide will provide a task to obtain a recruit verification token. Once the player has fulfilled the task they are awarded the token, allowing them to do related main story tasks and join Xu Family Manor. Other Requirements:
Players that have either killed more than 300 other players or have learned the Sunflower Manual, thus being unable to join Xu Family Manor, may speak with Ling Xu at Jinling (1151,544) to receive tasks to gain approval. Secret Factions Rootless Clan http://www.ageofwushu.com/static/txb/wgm.html A Yin and Soft faction that is men only and requires that you give up your member. Welcome to the Rootless Clan, where you get castrated to unlock new and exciting abilities such as a set that is only available to castrated characters, and is fast and flashy as hell. You also gain an array that lets you castrate other players! Internal Effect: skills recover (178 + % of breath) health per hit, can recover 8 times within 25s; blocking recovers (36 + % of breath) energy per hit, can recover 8 times within 25s. Their skillset, Unholy Swordsmanship, is a really fast set with a teleport stun move and a flashy as gently caress rage. Also every time you hit, you can get more buffs to speed your character up. Special Gameplay: Rootless Clan Castration Event I'm not directly quoting the site on this, since it's long winded (check the link above) but you basically set an array, then bring up the operating table and if it's not destroyed in 5 minutes by other people the person has a chance to get castrated. Joining via the main story:
Palace of Shifting Flowers http://www.ageofwushu.com/static/txb/yhg.html The school that everyone has nicknamed the Pretty Girls faction, is a Yin and Soft school that is 99.99% female and only allows the voting in of one male character at a time. This school features a skillset that is barehanded and is ranged as well, making it a great choice for PvP. Internal Effect: while under attack has a 50% chance to activate a self buff for 9s (28s cd) - evasion is increased by 20%; evading attack recovers 4% of max health (4s cd). Their skillset, Seven Techniques of the Flower Goddess, is a ranged barehanded set that even has a ranged single target feint, putting it up there with Royal Guard chain set and Vertigo Dart in terms of usefulness. Grafting also reflects damage onto another hostile. Special Gameplay: And I quote: "Maid System, Miscellaneous and Random Skills". That's all snail says, literally. So who the gently caress knows! Joining via the main story: At Suzhou, find an NPC at (404,980) to tell you how to get to the Palace of Shifting Flowers. Once there, Ye Lingbing (828,1218) will be your guide. Ask her to let you join the faction. Receive a task from the guide. Complete this task, while meeting a set of requirements, to earn a token of admission. This token grants you access to additional tasks, which will eventually lead to your admission to the faction. Other requirements:
If you have either killed more than 300 players, learned the Sunflower Manual or have been divorced, go to Jingling and find Ling Xu at (1151,544). Accept a quest to obtain a special item that will allow you to join the faction. Peach Blossom Island http://www.ageofwushu.com/static/txb/thd.html The only Secret Faction that sports a Tai Chi internal, Peach Blossom island is a literal giant island (a couple times larger than the southern Scholars island that we all have grown to hate before they fixed spying to drop you into the school area). On this island, you will learn to love the flute while you murder other people with music. Yes, literally. Internal Effect: attack has a 50% chance to deal 50% more + 475 soft damage, 25s cd; while under attack has a 50% chance to forbid attacker movement for 4s, 40s cd. Their skillset, Sound of Blue Waves, is an internal damage set that uses a Flute (a Sword can be used for a -30% damage debuff) to do good damage and also has a couple of debuffs and features the only AoE feint in the game. Also, their rage move makes all opponents dance in an AoE and they take damage. Special Gameplay: Peach Trees in Full Blossom This evasive skill is randomly activated when your health is below 30%. It consumes 30% of your Energy to damage targets in an 8-meter area of effect. Gain Red Armor to be immune to damage, while gaining movement speed. If you attack an enemy, this skill will be cancelled. Snapping Fingers This skill is randomly activated. Target takes damage, loses Rage and is knocked into the air. Joining via the main story: At Suzhou, find Yao Cheng at (795,750) to tell you how to get to the Peach Blossom Island. Once there, Yun Shu (828,1218) will be your guide. Ask him to let you join the faction. Receive a task from the guide. Complete this task, while meeting a set of conditions, to earn a token of admission. This token grants you access to additional tasks, which will eventually lead to your admission to the faction. Other requirements:
If you have either killed more than 300 players or learned the Sunflower Manual go to Jingling and find Ling Xu at (1151,544). Accept a quest to obtain a special item that will allow you to join the faction. Peach Blossom also has many other things, such as: "Peach Blossom Array, Air Cutter Practice, Shark Riding, Rare Treasures" Nobody knows what shark riding is, but it sounds loving awesome! You can also get new arrays that are for Peach Blossom disiciples as well as a mask crafting ability, but you can review the link above for that, since it's heavily wordy and there's words enough here  Faction stats plus gear caps:

 THE EIGHT SCHOOLS Emei Some women who saw the Shaolin and said we can do that better. Female-only school with aggressive 1v1 and team sets, and a damage reduction support set for group fights. Also known for a heavy TDH / Rebellion presence with some of the most vocally insane and mule-headed players. The pay2wins are bad. 4th Internal (Icy Body): 1) chance to skill disable enemy when you're hit. 2) Chance to trigger icy body effect when hit. Clears some debuffs(?), regenerates some parry, adds extra yin damage per hit to attacks for 9-15 seconds. Skillsets Rosy Cloud Stab: Dagger, internal, charge-heavy with nice priority. The utility is great. It heals yellow hp damage (10s) and adds yin damage per hit based off internal power. You can target non-enemy players to put the healing effect on them instead (Note: this is an aggressive action against their opponent, who can now kill you if they notice). Rage is AoE, yellow armor, 11 hits, and too quick to use for set change. Parry decreases target's stamina. Less useful than others. Golden Diamond Soft Palm: Hand, internal. Mostly ranged set with slowing effects. Spam takes way too long, but is ranged and adds a -30% speed debuff to target. The other ranged attack is anti-air, but only if you are also in the air. Parry has only one level, and decreases attacker's speed by 20% per hit (max 60%). Rage, called Buddha or Egg, gives 11s 50-75% damage resist buff to raid members in AoE range. Costs 30 instead of 50. Very in demand for group fights or PvE, but also very boring. Use weapon basic attack instead of spam to build rage, especially if it has a chance to 3-hit like dagger. Departing Stings: Twin dagger, external. Stack-based AoE death. Parry is Far&Removed, which adds extra rage and a parting stack when hit. Parting stack limit is (15? + (5 * spamLvl)). Use Loathsome clouds to stun, then Departed Kin to do damage multiplied by parting stacks somehow. DK does something like 70% more damage from the air on stunned targets, so keep your cursor pointed at your feet (ground target). With 40 stacks and either the rage or the buff it can clear 5000 damage on a crit. Rage is a defense and DK damage buff, but doesn't do knockback like perish blade. The feint is very useful as breaking parry with it drains your target's rage. DS in general has weak priority unless you're so laggy it doesn't matter. Yu Nv: Sword, internal. Annoying 1v1. The feint, the AoE, and the charged spam all knock up. One charge and the tackle can only be used on airborne opponents, with all the awful netcode and ping dependency that implies. The other charge can be used on the ground and has great priority, but leaves you open for a countercharge. All attacks except spam add a power stack when they connect, which adds damage to the rage or the tackle and allows you to use the parry. Max 6, 8s timer. Rage is single-target charge (finally!) with no armor. Parry gives you CC resistance for a few seconds if you have power stacks when hit. School Chat Awful, but has less sales spam than other schools. I couldn't say why. Fighting against Emei: Goose away when they're trying to get closer. Wudang Wudangs are a Tai Chi school that innately come with an HP/Energy swap which is very valuable in end-game PvP (anyone who does high level PvP and expects to live has it). However, the rest of their sets are either gimmicky or most Wudangs are too awful at the game to use them properly. Wudang 4th Internal Effect: your attacks have a chance to debuff the target for 16s: incoming attacks will cause extra yang damage, if target uses 3 skills - will have forbidden skills for 3 seconds, if target didn't use skills - after debuff ends it will have forbidden skills for 3 seconds. Skillsets: Taichi Fist: The set with five skills. The feint is fast and roots, the charge knocks the target down and away if you hit with it within seven seconds of blocking anything, and Open Taichi, the rage, does a shitload of AOE damage and also CCs for longer than the seven second set cooldown so you can combo out of it into any other set before they recover. It also has one shield that heals you for about 105% of the damage you take for six seconds and one shield that absorbs 50% of the damage you take then releases it as an AOE when it ends or reaches a certain amount absorbed. It has a couple more skills that nobody ever uses because they aren't very good. Build rage with another set, switch to Taichi Fist, land the charge or feint, rage, then swap to any other set and run a combo before they have a chance to recover. Even though the rage is AOE this is a single target set because you'll never get a full Open Taichi off in a group fight and there's better CC rages (Boundless Buddha). Breeze Sword: Requires counter-punching in a world where every set has two charges and a fast feint. Not that great anymore except for comboing out of Open Taichi with a full rage bar. Build a three stack of Breeze Chi by blocking with the parry buff or using the rage, then land the world's slowest feint or Turbulent Rapids, then Pure Spring Flows Forth, jump, use Purified and Exalted, land, use Turbulent Rapids, use Pure Spring Flows Forth, jump, use Purified and Exalted, etc, until you run out of rage. If you have good ping it's an inescapable combo. Or just use Taichi Fist. Taichi Sword: A faceroll 1v1 set that doesn't do much damage but it has the best heal in the game. Flying Horse swaps your IF and HP percentages minus a bit, Circle the Moon Thrice restores 3% of your IF every second for up to eight seconds. Congratulations, you did it. Yin Yang Sword: Has a slow, clumsy gimmick. Nobody uses it. Tangmen Tangmen used to enjoy being able to 1-shot kill just about anyone in the game, however with people having maxed out meridians and also 4th inners they now "only"  do 2/3 to 3/4 HP damage with a single rage move.Gameplay: Tang are the masters of ranged combat (darts) but in Wushu terms, that doesn't go very far. They were a powerful school that previously dominated the early months of Wushu but have been very much sidelined by the more ridiculous kung fu skills that other schools have received. Nevertheless, Tangmen are an incredibly easy class to play, especially for players with a lovely ping and are a great asset to any group PVP battle. They still suffer from a low internal force (mana) by maxing your meridians or using other school parry buffs and skills will offset this. They are also the only class necessary for PVE dungeons and also still possess the ability to one shot almost any player simply by pressing two buttons. 4th Internal Skill: each hit has a chance to debuff (stackable) the target for 16s: does little damage, attacks have a chance to blow it up - do damage based on stacks (stacks will not be consumed), after blowing up target will be shortly stunned and lose 30% of yellow HP, speed will be reduced to minimum for 6 secs and skill disabled for 4 secs. However, most tangmen end up swapping into their 2nd internal along with their Golden Snake Sting rage move to do 7-9k damage. They then swap back into the internal they plan to continue fighting in. Skillsets: Golden Snake Sting: Your premier single damage skill set. It has a ranged stun dart, the best speed buff in the game and with the second inner equipped, arguable the highest damage 1 v 1 rage. It's quite situational in group PVP but it's absolutely devastating in 1v1 or in PVE against assassin bosses. Making someone Swallow your Whale is a fundamental Tang experience. Vertigo Dart: One of the only real ranged damage sets in the game. It's extremely easy to use and it's great for kiting people in 1v1 PVP and also for killing stragglers in group PVP. You can also use it to kite some of the dungeon bosses in PVE. Shadow Chasing Sting: A group PVP/PVE set. This is probably one of the most useless sets in the game except for the ability 'Smoke Screen' which, when maxed, provides a 55% attack and 40% dodge buff to all your allies in the aoe. A new player should seek to max this ability if you want to provide the most utility in guild wars or PVE dungeons. Yama's Call: A ranged group damage skill set. This is a great set for group PVP with the ability to throw aoe bombs that will dot or debuff anyone caught in the explosion. Beggars Sect Dog hating drunk hobos who hit poo poo with sticks. Background: The Beggar's Sect is a loose collection of people who walk around in rags, drink booze, and fight. Lore wise they're people who are often ignored and live on the fringes of society. This makes them great spies and warriors who go to the places others won't touch. They're a good aligned school, so joining them means you will get discipline for doing things like kidnapping and cart raiding. Don't worry though, you can just bow on a pillow for a bit, and all is forgiven. Internal: Beggars have the single best 4th school internal skill in the game for using external skillsets. It's called "Raining Wine Godly", and it has a massive amount of "Brawn" (stat which decides how hard you hit), and a debuff you spew on enemies that increases your crit chance and hit chance, AND a buff you put on yourself that increases crit chance and causes you to do extra damage. Skillsets: Beggar's school sets are rather mediocre. Most of them are crap unless you get certain key skills to 6, and one of them is crap no matter what. There is a reason nobody script steals from beggars. If you play a beggar expect to have to either buy cash shop sets, or learn universal sets to really be effective. Lotus Palm: A barehanded style with some decent aoe control and an infamous anti-air ability. Basically, you can spinning piledrive people out of the sky with this set. Unfortunately, this set has a lot of issues. Crying Stick (aka Drunk Stick): A stick style that focuses on spitting booze everywhere, getting people drunk, setting them on fire, and kicking rear end. It has a few tricks to it that are totally undocumented, but if you use them it's IMO the strongest beggar style for 1v1 PvP. First off, it is based on building drunk stacks that you can get from either drinking booze before the fight, or blocking using the parry buff. For every drunk stack you have, every ability in the set gets a 5% damage bonus, and you can stack drunk stacks up to 10 times. Secondly, you need to get the feint skill in the set to 6 because once you do it stuns people if you break their parry which lets you set up a huge damage combo. Spirit Snake Stick: . Another stick style, but this one is based on applying DoT effects to your enemies. It has an AOE poison cloud you can throw down that does okay damage, but slows people for a very long duration. It also has the strongest hitting single target rage ability out of all of the beggar sets, and hell out of most of the sets in the game. If you hit a target with the AOE poison cloud on them, almost all of your abilities do bonus damage. Dog Beating Staff: Dog beating staff is a set that's seen as the faceroll easy set of beggars. It's got two multi-hit charge abilities, and AOE rage that you can't be knocked out of except by being hit with a stun skill, and does great damage with single hit skills. You can temporarily turn off people's abilities using the set, based on what you use, making them unable to use flying skills to get away, unable to break parries, unable to parry, or other things. The parry ability can also disarm people, making them unable to use weapon skills for a time. In addition, if you use it at half HP some abilities knock up or back through parry, locking people in the parry state to set up unblockable combos. A very strong set overall. Conclusion Be a Beggar if you want to hit things hard, and don't mind a late blooming school. You will likely need to farm up quite a bit of cash to get proper gear and skill sets, plus put in a lot of time to train your skills above the basic levels. You won't have any innate survivability, jack crap for ranged abilities, and you will likely hate the early game. You'll look on with people using internal skillsets to one shot people, and it will seem discouraging. Eventually though, you'll be dealing tons of damage, and drunkenly laughing as you break people's faces. Royal Guards A Yang and Hard school that is known mainly for their flying claw set, Royal Guards are mostly based around medium damage sets but suffer because who the christ uses internal sets in an external school. 4th internal skill: every 16s you get 12 'chase' buff stacks: each hit consumes one stack to ignore 28% of enemy block and cause extra 145 hard damage; when you take direct damage - have a chance to get the 'angry' buff for 32s - reduces incoming damage by 18%. Skillsets: Soul Chasing Claw: This set is what almost every Royal Guard mains with, which is a really awful choice when everyone in the game knows how to to fight it. It's based upon landing the chain pull and while the target is on the ground hitting them with a multihit spin attack. It's easily defeated if you stay in close with the opponent or use your own pull or stun when you see them wind up for the long animation Feint or Stun attacks. Eagle Claw Fist: The first of two internal damage sets that Royal Guards have, this set is very limited in PvP since most RGs are built for external damage. However, it sports 3 ways of causing an opponent to fall on their rear end upon which you literally punch them in the balls repeatedly. Soul Losing Blade: An external damage set which is wholly underrated by just about every Royal Guard. It has medium damage potential but all of the moves are very fast with pretty low cooldowns so you can keep the damage poured on with it. It also sports a few damage over time effects to slowly bleed your opponent to death as well as a ranged spam move for keeping people in combat. Bloody Killing Knife Skill: As cool as the name is, this set is the other internal damage set that Royal Guards own. It's easily one of the lowest damage 4th skillsets in the game as well as being one of the slowest. However, you can chase people down with it with a zipline attack as well as knock them on the ground or debuffing their damage with the parry break. Shaolin The other Yang and Hard school that got shafted with an internal 4th skillset, Shaolin is known for its Long Boxing set alongside a once great but now sporting a diminished roll group pvp staff set. 4th internal skill: Shaolin 4: under attack have a chance to reduce incoming damage by 50% and get a buff: when attacked - have a chance to turn some black hp into yellow HP, when buff reaches 4 stacks - turns 50% of yellow HP into red HP. Skillsets: Long Boxing: This set is based around a charging feint (with easily the coolest feint animation), an AoE stun and a charge up punch. You can also replace the charge up punch with the rage if you can use it. Easiest counter is to not hold your parry if their feint is off cooldown, and then hold if after the feint to block the AoE stun and then counter from there. Bhodidharma Stick: A once mightly group CC set, Bhodidharma stick has an AoE stun (you must jump to use it) as well as a rage move that disables flying skills and normal skills for 14 seconds or some ridiculous timeframe. You can also use a juggling move after you knock people airborn with the rage that generally pisses them off. Weituo Stick: A very little used skillset (I've personally never had it used on me and I've played for over a year) that supposedly is only good when you have over 100 rage or so and can multirage combo onto people and take off a stack of HP. Dragon Claw: An internal damage skillset (all other Shaolin sets are external, being a Yang/Hard school) which has a ranged charge move that can be used to lock people into place from a distance so your buddies can jump him. The combo into the rage can put out some decent damage, supposing that you're set up for internal damage (you likely won't be). Wanderer's Valley A Tai Chi school that is easily one of the two best (being WV and Beggars right now) in the game. Their 4th skillset is second to none. 4th internal skill: attacks have a chance to get 4 stacks of 'evil face' buff for 15s (crit chance is increased by 30%, critical hit will remove one stack of buff), and 'all evil' buff for 12s (critical hits recover 50% of damage as HP). Skillsets: Wind Chasing Blade: This set has 3 ways to remove people's use of normal abilities as well as the ability to parry for several seconds. It also has a triple hit knockback cone move that can be used to good effect as a CC move in group PvP. If you have really good ping, this set can be a great asset. Bone Corrosion Palm: An odd set that mostly only has a place in duels or Mt Hua fights since the arenas are small and allow it to really shine. Low to Mid damage set that relies heavily on the different Damage over Time effects and other debuffs that you can stack onto your target. Perish Blade: Easily the best PVE set in the game, especially when doing solo pvp functions. The spam move is a frontal cone that does 4 hits every 2 seconds which can get damage buffed by the rage move (also adds yellow armor) and from a move that trades 200 HP for a 20% damage boost and can stack multiple times. Using the rage move and also another move allows for you to lifesteal while using making it very suitable for PVE but lacking in PvP if you can't build your stacks up. 4th set (replace with real name aaaa): A disgustingly strong set that features easily the most hilarious feint in the game, which strips nearly any buff you can think of from the opponent when you break their parry. This set also has a 10 meter stun circle that you can drop and then go into a massive combo taking thousands of HP off if you get some decent critical hits in. Scholars A Yin and Soft school which also features one of the best 1v1 sets in the game, which also has the potential (moreso these days) to one-shot kill people with the rage move, like Tangmen. 4th internal skill: your attacks have a chance to debuff your targets (max 3 at a time): does minor soft damage, after 6 sec debuff will detonate - short stun targets and surrounding enemies, deal major damage to them and apply a debuff for 12s - every skill will cost health. Skillsets: Falling Flower Sword: The only external skill set that Scholars own, and therefore one of their least used, this set features the prominent "spin2win" move that was the bane of goon newbies when we all started over a year ago. Otherwise, the set is quite unremarkable other than having an AoE heal area that gives a small damage buff. Liesure Kicks: Anything other than liesurely, this kicking set allows for good rage building with its double charge combo as well as some massive critical hits and damage when the parry buff is active. I've been nearly one-shot by taking nearly 10k damage from a single Scholar LK rage. Boundless Sword: A support set that has one of the best parry buffs in the game (Turn Weapon Around), this set is mostly for group support during PvE since it can help allies regenerate energy and also give them damage buffs. Jade Flute Sword: The Scholar 4th skillset isn't the best 1v1 set in the game but allows for several fun things in group pvp such as reversing opponents controls (up is down, left is right) causing most people to end up stumbling into the murderball they're trying to run from as well as a bouncing stun skill that sends a ball bounding around enemies and stunning each for a moment or two.

Did anyone ever get an email when they were banned? I finally got around to downloading and some time to play and both of my high level characters "do not exist" I wasnt into anything that should cause a ban, in fact I logged in some months ago and my main was doing work out in the boonies but after killing some people I got bored and went back to riding bikes. I did have a few ding on the main and secondary, probably hacked and used as gold bots until a ban Im thinking? Anyone have the support email handy? I cant seem to find it on the site.

You should've gotten an email, but otherwise email support@snailgamesusa.com Also, RG chain is currently outclassed by a Beggar in 4th inner using chain, but at least with it at 9 you still do good damage. I decided to quit RG before deciding to do Soul Losing Blade rage to 9 so no idea about that. I only use the dickpunch set for PVE so I didn't bother getting the rage past 7 either. v  v

It is in real time, but latency plays a part of it. Saying it is like a street fighter game is alright. Iti s close. The game revolve around blocks, parrys, charge attacks, and some other things. But it has gotten weirder since I left. So not sure if we are some weird capcom universe now.

It lags out a bit, but crazy things happen. Beggars have a combo they can pull off that is infinite. You won't do this though unless you have low ping. Some of the moves in this set are aoe. So in larger fights they can dash into an area, knock everyone up, and probably push half of them away like some drunken buddah. The large scale fights were lots of fun when I last played. Watch some of those videos up above.

Rarely is there lag that bad. I personally run between 60 to 80ms and have one of the best pings on the server (other than people who live near the colo and have like 10ms ping and destroy anyone else regardless of style used). Even people in the UK who have 200ms or so ping do fine most of the time.

Also, if you log in via steam, as long as your steam account is secure no one can get on your account. This is mostly good for new people. This is because you automatically log on if you launch it via steam (and not via the steam folders) and there is no way to log onto those accounts except through steam.

Forgot to screenshot a chat last night like a moron but apparently when GreatEast was building 100 Trans, he was forcing people in Huatah to sell it to him at the same price as any other fragment, meaning 200L or less basically. He did this to everyone, including newbies and apparently it's what drove Blood to quit and sell his account. Edit: Went through Snail's site and found the next 3 patches, which I can only assume are for the expansion. Note: To apply these on patch day, put them in your "Age of Wushu\patch\ " folder then start the launcher. It will find the files and use them instead of downloading them. Note2: I honestly don't know if the launcher does any type of checking of the patch (via md5sum or whatever) so if this breaks your poo poo, I'm not responsible for you having to use the exceedingly slow Repair function in the launcher. http://download.9y.woniu.com/USA_9YIN/files/path/jyzj-patch-0.0.1.113-0.0.1.114.EXE 498MB http://download.9y.woniu.com/USA_9YIN/files/path/jyzj-patch-0.0.1.114-0.0.1.115.EXE 337MB http://download.9y.woniu.com/USA_9YIN/files/path/jyzj-patch-0.0.1.115-0.0.1.116.EXE 375MB Total patch looks to be 1.2gb which was the ballpark we figured it would be in with the amount of content added.
