There is another "community stream" today featuring the new factions coming in the new update. Me and PrettyBird will be on it, with Earthquake of course. Stream starts 3 hours from now (18:00 server time, 1 hour before script stealing). It started 15 minutes late last Friday.

Any questions you guys have I will try to ask

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:

The Moving Flowers maid system is just NPCs you can summon, the highest level one provides some kind of buff. GM Earthquake can't read Chinese.

Factions get their own special buff consumables.

Also their own non-set skills. Moving Flowers gets one that removes debuffs and AOE concusses on an 1800s cooldown.

Riding sharks requires DDR, also it's quest-only.

Plum Blossom can get you the same meridian pills that you get through a school, plus one that pops your 149.

Plum Blossom masks have really small damage buffs to single pills, one that prevents infamy, and three that multiply good/evil/confidence points you gain by 5 for an hour.

First Plum Blossom non-set skill does damage to one target, knocks them back, and has a chance to deplete their rage, 1800s cooldown.

Their second one:

It was either that or have it push my GPU hilariously high for no reason so honestly this is the better version. Although I wouldn't have minded setting up a market stall :(

So, I don't know if this has been discussed or not, but over in Chinaland, they're planning on a 'mega-expansion' in August.

quote:

Last week, Age of Wushu held its annual PvP tournament in China, the home base of developer Snail Game. The development team spoke to several local media outlets after announcing a mega-expansion reaching the China server on 8th August later this year. Here are some of the details below.

- The new areas/ maps are 8 times the size of the current map size in Age of Wushu (China server).

- There will be no main quests, and players are free to pick and choose quests from the new regions.

- There will be new individual quests for each player, each with different options and multiple endings. Players’ decisions will be important on which NPCs they will meet and how the quests will progress.

- 6 new Emerging Forces (or clans) have been confirmed, although they will not be added at the same time due to the massive file size. The game will be expanding beyond the Central Plains, and will see forces from Tibet, Mongolia, and the Orient. For the overseas servers, there are even plans to add in Western or Southeast Asia forces.

The Orient originally labeled everything east of the roman empire. This includes the middle east, Korea, India, China, etc etc. I can't wait to see how racist the portrayal of other countries is.

For context, the Central Plains (zhongyuan) is basically the area near the eastern coast bordered north and south by the two rivers in that map. If this were even half-way not lowest-common denominator then it'd be a chance to add in "regional" flavor (in the sense of how much current Chinese territory is outside of the Central Plains), but of course I'm not holding my breath.

Shuffling translations, dongfang is either "the east" or "the East" so let's guess Korea/Japan.

If it ends up being Korean/Japan this will be the best most racist update probably.

Judging from the Koreans and Japanese in the game already (Jiming/Quandeng) it should be pretty hilarious.

If they do this, the Tibet school instance needs to be getting the Ajanti Dagger and using it to kill Charles Dance.

Any class is good for that. Pick whichever sounds best to you.

Going by current rates, more like 8 months. Still a long loving time though.

Honestly, what hosed over the servers the most was them starting up the new servers alongside Blue Dragon when the game launched with those servers being 1st inner only and slowly progressing through unlock quests so we were stuck with the same expansion of the game for something like 5 months instead of the apparently more typical 2-3.

I wish they'd merge all the drat servers already.

Honestly the idea of starts new servers isn't a bad one in some respects - if they are started with the intention to eventually merge them. Wushu is obviously one of the most hostile games to try and play as a newbie, even when I started (most players were ~Max Level). Now everyone is Shock The World+. If you had the choice of picking between a server that every player could dodge everything you throw at them for no apparent reason, or a server in which you're on equal footing, you would choose the newer one.

And this can work too. 4-6 months after new server starts, the majority of the population is Infallible, you merge it with another server. Constant fresh population without the extremely unbalanced early game.

Instead the massive number of VIP alts have lead Snail to believe Blue Dragon has a perfect level of server activity, and they think all new servers will be equally as active, forever, for some reason.
