I got back into this today and made a Wudang with my Steam account. I dont even remember the login details to my poor Royal Guard. Hopefully I dont end up hating Wudang forever.


I'm gonna miss running up walls during our first-ever guild hall battle to hook retarded afk TDH players into the Beggar swarm.

If you guys want another lemonparty with apples (2x the size) I still have quite a bit on an alt if I can recall the log-in. If you manage to get the server population back up high enough, it would be good to repeat so just let me know.

Cross post from griefing thread:

Age of Wushu - Goon Tang Clan 1st Invitational Lemon Party

Skip to the videos below if you don't want/need an explanation.

Firstly some context. In age of wushu every week the top 10 crafters each get prize boxes, in these boxes are often special outfits. We discovered that the farmer profession got points for planting crops but didn't have to harvest the crops to get rank. Last week my character got in the top 10 and got a reward box containing an outfit.


Some people in the guild thought the outfit looked funny because it looks even more like peasant lowbie gear than the gear starting players get. We set out to plant but not harvest many, many crops. This started to cause lag in the surrounding area and even culling when too many crops get planted. Then the server crashed.

We had no clue if the crash was our fault, but we felt it was our duty to stress test the server by going to the busiest zone and growing the biggest sized crops we could. Normal planting looks like this:
[timg]http://i.imgur.com/iaaWXBb.jpg[/timg]


This is a goon plantation:



Then we realised that unlike most crops that despawn in 5-10 minutes of not being harvested lemon trees last a good 45-60 min. We soon had the entire farmland of the zone covered in trees so no one could grow anything else. Then we noticed all the carts going past our plantation.

Wushu is a pvp focused game, one of the tasks available is protecting carts rear end they travel between two locations. Players not fr4om your guild may click on your cart to flag as a bandit and attack and destroy your cart stealing the reward you would have got from the task. Our makeshift lemon forest gave us the perfect cover to raid many carts



The entire area was a laggy mess full of culling due to so many extra entities. Players would approach the forest in confusion then real back as darts, claws, and angry goons flew out to destroy them.

If it weren't for goons, this game would be really bad and boring. I can see why it has such a low population - if you don't go in with a big group of pre-existing friends, there's a long time where you wont be doing anything. Ever.

We declared war since Leffe issued a :siren:DOUBLE DOG DARE:siren: against BloodFate tonight, which is one of the "neutral" guilds that is full of shitheads.

There's a possibility we might just call it a protection war but chances are we're actually going to attack their base because we don't like them.

What: War! (maybe)
Where: South Shaolin (Frost Plum Valley)
When: 19:40 server
Why: gently caress BloodFate

Nah, stage some fake drama on the forums, talk about how GoonTangClan is breaking up due to being tired of losing to TDH/HTH/Whatever, and that some of our members are moving to the new server to avoid them then wait for people to bite into it and start trying to start stupid wars with our 'split population'.

I vaguely remember dicking around with this at release with a facial expression close to :stare: as I read through the horribly translated text and punched bandits or whatever the hell I was doing. Flying skills were rad though.

Couple of quick questions:

1) All the new Schoolless faction stuff super confuses me. Are these like...advanced classes? Alternate classes? Are they powerful to the point where they should be where you're aiming to end up or is it fine to just stick with a School?

2) I'm Australian and my ping will probably suck horribly. Scholar still viable or would Tangmen be the way to go for dart funtimes?

3) Is there any (decent) PVE content in this game? With the timezone issues I don't know if I'd be able to make organised PvP crap.

They're alternate schools. The normal schools are fine.

Pretty much any other school would be better than Tangman. Scholar might be alright.

Not really.

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.

Tangmen using their dart set and their 4th set can be fine with bad ping. Their first set, not so much most of the time (you can always aim for a stun dart instead of a parry break then go from there).

Scholars can let you just faceroll charges and can work well with ping. Just realize that no class really scales well with ping but you can make it work with enough effort.

I will never understand how those are selling but it's hilarious that it's happening.


Also for those that skipped the guild war last night, we assaulted BloodFate's base with the whole 8 defenders there and captured all the maids and capped the throne in 15 minutes while they were being smug in scene chat asking what's taking so long. It's hilarious to fight people who don't know how guild wars work :allears:

Well Orv I think is trying to create a "frenemies" situation with another group it seems per the thread-read, because the streamer alpha groupies already want to be BFF forever with no wars (seriously why do people want sandbox games with no or minor death penalties to be peaceful). So there is someone singularly trying to be reasonable but this guy yeah... I don't recall most of the ones who responded about it ever actually being around for anything eventful for AoW politics/guild outlook over the past year of launch (and heck even in beta?) If Grithok can't recall him then I have no loving idea who he is. Usual goon poo poo, different mmo I guess? I thought everything that happened in AoW was fun, even the KoS part was still easy as a leveling newbie (I went through that) because death is a joke.

Being a bandit group and killing honeybeez after 8 of us died was hilarious. Getting ganked in chengdu after leading them on a merry rooftop chase across half the city because only a few of them knew how to air dash infinitely as well as I could was hilarious. Fight club getting crashed and turning into gangs of new york was hilarious. Playing on jokers squad to grithok's batman squad in royal guards was hilarious. Dying was the funniest part of all of those experiences.

If I cut those experiences out, I'm left with broken instances, unintelligible quests, and extremely boring pve fights against NPCs that don't really use the combat system effectively. Those parts of the game are the parts that suck. The best part about the death penalty is that dying and being poor just means you're fully committing to the roleplay of being a poor wandering kung fu master that gets in fights and drinks a lot :v:
