Only thing I'm antsy about is that Peach Blossom only takes 50 people in a day. I'm probably vastly overestimating how many people will get in day 1.

Do fifty people even play the game? I thought there were like eight people running ten accounts each.

Maybe they'll go full chinagame and reduce it to 2 people per day for the english server. It'd make for some entertaining brawls, if nothing else.

It's a Tai Chi secret faction. With most of the server being Wudang, I say there's a fair chance.

Adventures in China! From the actual China, not ours, sorry!

Behold the mighty.... I'm not sure


After I took this image on a Royal Guard I made, I learned that betraying makes you fight 4 NPCs which my new character wasn't even close enough to being strong enough to kill :sigh:

Then I spied this in Gossip:


My kicks :black101:


I then went to a wedding wherein the game was spamming fireworks everywhere and killing my client. I got drunk :(


I pass out and wake up in.. oh gently caress this. Not this loving well again



Oh and then in our server, a guy mentions something interesting about mechanic abuse that we'll have soon

I've been using Amazon since they added it. Just make sure you select Blue Dragon on the right dropdown on the payment screen.

There's a returning players link or two starting tomorrow if you look through the launch events page4.

I'm sort of at an impasse right now. I made a new account and new character, and now I'm at the point where I would normally pick a school, but what I eventually want to be is golden needle sect. Would it be a tremendous pain to pick a school and then swap over, or would it be easier to just sit and cultivate and wait for tomorrow? Do I need to go to joining a school first anyway?

If you pick a school you'd have to leave it to join Shen Family and the free leave option makes you lose all your school skills and internals anyway. I'd stay schoolless 'cause they're getting some neat stuff in this next patch.

Wait literally one day and you can join the vagrants and get stuff no one else is going to get cause no one wants to lose their school skills.

Seriously, there is a very small group of us that are betraying and the only ones I know personally that are betraying are Royal Guards, and that's because Beggars with 4th internal are better at being an RG than an actual RG is. Royal Guards have basically one good end-game set and if you're using a Jianghu inner there's literally no reason to stick around. You can always build chain set again later.

Pick one, graduate, then move on! Golden Needle and Xu are minor factions that you can graduate from and keep everything.

The first few of the second result are Yanmen Pass so probably the higher difficulties there.

For those who downloaded the patches prior to today, you're going to have to double click on them and point them to your wushu install. Apparently they don't just let you dump them into the patch folder anymore :iiam:



E: and apparently they put a .116 to .117 patch up on the server just last night but it seems to be small (probably 10-15mb by the rate it's downloading for me through the launcher)
