People that have played Wushu for the last year still hate dying with a passion even though you just lose some bound money.

Looks like the guy got killed some by TDH and co and rage quit Wushu like a giant baby.

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:

And one of us got stuck in the geometry at the top of one of the towers, took us all a really long time to find a spot we could pull them out of with demon chain or kick them out with leisure kick. And we'd sing the old nananananananana batman theme song the whole time.

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?

I was wondering why the game wouldn't let me join goons, makes sense now.

If I'm planning on going golden needle sect as soon as possible after getting the vagrants sets, should I just get the kicks at whichever inner level they become available and then ditch the inners for golden needle's? This is on a brand spankin new character (If you see Xite sitting on a roof in chengdu that's me AFK cultivating while I'm at school) I don't think I'm really going to actually use the vagrant's sets, but I'd like to pick them up while I have the chance.

The Vagrant sets are good, so get both of them. You don't really need to ditch an inner either, just stop training it. Shen sounds like a good stepping stone though, and the inner sounds interesting.

Yeah, I meant stop training it when I said ditching it. To be honest, the story you get for vagrants is wuxia as gently caress. Reminds me a lot of that one wuxia movie we watched where jet li had no kung fu, but then an old man tied to a boulder slapped him with tentacles and gave him the strongest kung fu.

I miss movie club. We should do movie club.

My favorite moment from chinagame was still when a bunch of people from various guilds we had been fighting had me penned up in a graveyard in one of the smaller cities, and all of them kept saying goons didn't know how to fight. So I pointed out that I was alone and they weren't and challenged the highest level among them to a duel and killed him.

Fight club was the best thing we ever did for our fellow goons. Plus when we were homeless it was gangs of new york in chengdu every day.

If ever there was a game to let goons be goony to each other, it's chinagame.

Besides, if age of wushu is any indicator we'll all be far too confused to actually gently caress each other over.

Edit: I'm legit more excited about a new chinagame than about any mmo or even game to come out in the past like 5 years.

What the gently caress were delabux.

All I did was school spying and joker squad (even though it never really came together) and jumping on rooftops and getting in fights. People who got into wushu to make lots of in game money and be chinarich is lol

Although I do remember mailing scripts to delamore for the first couple of events, and then delamore said to stop because he had no more room for scripts, and then we kept sending the cheap ones just to piss him off.

he turned around, sold a bunch of it for real money, but they couldn't get him money so he got paintballs

where no one wanted to do economy stuff with the rest of the server, delamore did that

then when he was ready to quit, he milked the goons for as much as he could putting in a separate fictional currency called delabux to make stuff

then took all the in game items and sold them to whales and gold farmers for real life money

I'm actually pretty okay with that, in the same way that I'm okay that people bought kickstarter packages for star citizen or crowfall.

I mean, at least one goon got something tangible out of the whole thing, and if you really give a poo poo about delamore taking an imaginary 3 dollars worth of paintballs from you then lol

Edit: and before you correct me grithok I mean imaginary in the sense that if you still had your 40 iron ingots you weren't going to do anything with it, and you certainly weren't going to trade your pixels in for paintballs anyway, so really what you lost was poo poo you weren't going to get anything for anyway.

One of the features I've liked about this game is that new players can request help if they die in a solo instance.

Higher level players see a sword above their minimap that starts to glow. They can choose who to help and get rewarded for it.

You get teleported into their instance and then just destroy lower level npcs.

Is that option available to the NPCs that you're destroying? Because :chinagame:

As I start replaying this game, I am reminded what actually made me play this incredible piece of poo poo the first time: There's so much that would be amazing in the hands of a more competent team. It's a kung fu game where you can learn all the kung fu, rather than just having a kung fu flavored class like any other mmo. There's all sorts of crazy poo poo like an alcohol tolerance system and random NPC quests and dudes that go on wild murder sprees being put in jail to be executed. They go balls deep on the kung fu training cliches, like meridians and formation training and all medicinal pills. It really is does have the foundations of a great game.

It's just built on a river of poo poo and apathy. Here's hoping 2 swings as big so it can be entertaining for as long as this was.

A more competent team wouldn't have put in all those systems. No, AoW was the best bad game, and any attempt to make it better would make it poo poo.

Reminds me of a game I played a while back. It passed several publishers' hands until eventually a Canadian company bought the international license.

Eventually a friend and I managed to gain access to... everything. They were not very competent about their security. One week we noticed a shady character showing up at wartime, and due to the nature of the game (extremely grindy, PvP oriented with scheduled 3-way wars, small community), a player like that not being recognizable was quite suspicious. So I decided to use my privileged access to look into it.

I found out that this character had been created a week prior, had no leveling history, and had items valued at several thousand dollars. I managed to link it to a GM, and found out that several GMs were creating characters and gear for themselves. A little more digging led me to find out that they were stealing inactive accounts, selling user data, and generating items to be sold through third party means, an activity they publicly condemned and would ban players for.

I gathered all evidence I had of this and posted it anywhere relevant before I quit playing the game. It didn't do much, but a year or two later the publisher collapsed through its failure to turn a profit.

Was this RFO? Because it sounds like RFO. Awhile back I was thinking about that game out loud and grithok and HyC found the site for the game and found that someone had posted actual hardcore porn pictures on the front of the game's website.

Beggars could throw up on people and get them drunk, which would get them in trouble with their school.

Also you could use repentance time to gently caress with people because you were immune to pvp while repenting. Plenty of times I remember being chased around scholars and ducking into one of the desks, surrounded by some angry dudes with knives and swords waiting for my time to be up. Other goons did it too, there’s even a screenshot floating around of that.

There was also the time we had the goon cops kill grithok so that he could sign us up for war.
