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.

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:

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.

2. Beggar School Lesson NPC - Fixed - He has found his way back to the Beggar Scene.
3. Character Creation - Fixed - Facial specializations are now working as intended.

What happened to the economy, anyway? When I left it was comically easy to rake in dings upon dings upon dings with a little know-how. Now I hear that its a barren wasteland of small Chinese peasants begging for buns?

First there was an insane amount of credit card fraud that was putting tens of thousands of dings into the game, that stopped when Paypal dropped Wushu. Then tides of teleporting non-VIP kidnap bots started selling the entire world into prostitution 24/7, that stopped when they made kidnapping VIP only. Then hordes of teleporting VIP kidnap bots, that stopped when they finally fixed teleporting. Then groups of regular VIP kidnap bots, that stopped when they made kidnapping before 2200 only give bound, which also sort of poo poo on everyone else's income in the process.

So now the only ways of getting unbound are about three hours of kidnapping a day and literal scratch cards, neither of which give a lot of money, and buying taels. And money sinks multiplied like ten times over in the process.

Snail doesn't really understand/like their game.

Okay, I remember absolutely nothing about the game anymore. If I betray my original school (or get a leave of absence), is it possible to go back to it later? Also, instead of joining factions, can I try other schools with that method? If so, I can pretty much learn most of the skills in all the other schools? (Sorry if this is a newbie question).

Yep, yep, yep. If you join a school you'd have to betray it too to go back to WV though, and when you betray you lose every school set and internal.

Hoooooboy.

Okay, first off you can only get the 1-3s from events, so if you don't have it yet just look out for an event on the forums. Then, you need the fragments. They come from all levels of beggar bags, but unless you have loads of time you'll be wanting to get them from the 10L bags. It took me 2000ish of the low level bags to get one frag. I got one ABOUT every 10-20 bags from the self-justification bags. You need 10 frags for a single page of a single skill.

There are much better ways you can spend your money.

There are a few people who have been successfully buying frags for like 20-30L each, but that's a very slow, long term thing.

Beggar brawn is still the single highest stat in the game, and their crit buff proc now disables flight. Neat.

More stuff from the Chinese servers:

Instead of a fifth set, they're adding one new faction for each school. Join the faction, graduate from it, and it gives you some kind of modified version of your fourth set. WV is sword, RG is chain, that's all I know~

There's only three alignments, Yang/Hard, Taichi, and Yin/Soft. One wine will change it from Yang/Hard to Yin/Soft.

A wet fart is stronger than Dragon Claw. Mutou tried using that poo poo on my once so I kept making him eat dirt with the Vagrant kicks parry and he kept charging my parry repeatedly so he ate a lot of rages.

Speaking of vagrant kicks, what the gently caress is the three-kick chain?

Hole Wolf
Apr 28, 2011

Haquer posted:

You have 2 charging moves. One of them is when you kick them down and fly up into the air and you can use it twice within 6 seconds. The other is a charge that you can use 3 times within 2 seconds of one another and the third time you do a backflip kick that sends the opponent flying if they don't parry.

Effectively leaves you with 5 charge moves and the rage is single target. This means anyone with bad ping just stands there getting kicked to death and can't do poo poo. Also the feint is pretty fast and sends them flying on parry break.

Yeah but what part of that is the three-kick chain

Jayen has been using that poo poo against Feedz in Hua before but he said he thought it was just regular Viet dsyncinc, but he still won anyway.

On the other hand I've seen TDH and Rebellion use it like it is a skill against each other in duels.
Mutou's p2w's had used it on me too, i.E. the guy that bought Mugen, lucky for me I don't know how to set up any scripts so I can't be tempted to use it XD.

Speaking of p2w's supposedly teenage kids of some rich family have been buying accounts left and right, paying about 150$ for Meek (That ones has no Jianghu inner gold gear and not even finished Scholar 4th Inner wtf!), 400ish for snowfox or some poo poo I don't know the original name it has full Jade and I think it used to be a Rebellion, they bully lowbies with all day and feel real tough hah.

And the MOBA thing: I wanna bet they try to fill a niche for China again, there is no wuxia MOBA for china and that stuff is national pride material for the chinese.
Moonlight Blade caused quite an uproar in that regard, as the company developing is regarded as the best game company China has to offer, and the many chinese gamers expect Moonlight Blade to be a wushu killer (As unlike here the game is still drat popular over there)

Feedz just straight-up murdered Jayen with WCB, didn't he?

Let me know if anyone finds out what that guy's name is, I got an account to sell.

Wushu has been dead for a while. Membership in NT got so low that they started recruiting pubbies. It's just soulless and the fact that it's busted and there are ridiculous cash shop sets doesn't make it any better.

I thought about checking out swordsman myself, but AA is the only thing on my radar now.

ArcheAge will be flavor of the year I think.

Swordsman's alright. The fighting's a lot more fluid and not very ping-based and as far as we can tell there won't ever be any real p2w. The rest of the game kind of sucks but it's less lovely than most MMOs, I guess.
