A mini-FAQ for noobs:

Cash Rules Everything Around Me: Get That Money, Dolla Dolla Bill Y'all

So, at the bottom of your inventory is this counter:


Those count how much currency you have. They are, from top to bottom, Bound Liang, Unbound Liang, and Silver Notes. Bound Liang are useless Monopoly money which you use for buying poo poo from NPCs, Practice Martial Arts, and pretty much nothing else. There is a limit to how much you can spend per day, but aside from that it's essentially limitless. Unbound Liang (also known as 'tael') is real money, which can be spent on poo poo you actually care about and can be traded to other players. You can also spend it on the same stuff you can spend Bound Liang on if you turn on that radio button next to it. Don't do that. The last currency is Silver Notes. I don't know much about them because you can only get them by spending Gold (i.e. dollars) on.

You mixed these two up, but otherwise nice guide

There was talk of checking out that swordsman game, and I saw this on mmorpg.com

Do you like torture and/or cart raiding? Apparently Swordsman has that poo poo in spades



In our base we have a torture area where we inflict pain and people for:



Whats this thing do? We don't know yet, we need 3+ people at a rank above newcomer. That means people who have been in guild for 24+hours and have 40 guild points.

How do you get these points?



When you join the guild you should be able to do missions for points, the ones we did rewarded 15 each so it should be super easy to do.

Game is weird as gently caress, combat is wonky but this guild hall is way cooler at least.

Been playing with some other classes besides harmony, including Zethyr and 5 Poisons. Think I'll be going 5P for launch, seems pretty fun with a bunch of AOE stuff.

Also apparently every class has a unique blocking animation, dodge animations, and different abilities and appearances for your first pet. This made playing around different classes pretty fun. I'd definitely recommend making a few alts and see what seems neat.

There's a decent wiki at http://swordsman.gamepedia.com/Swordsman_Wiki and has an overview on classes, and some of the sets.

We need some write ups for a few classes in swordsman online.

Shaolin, wu-tang, E'mei, harmony, Zephyr, and five venoms.

This doesn't need to be long, just enough for a new person to get an idea of the theme and some moves.

Harmony is a rogue/assassin class. Uses a Longsword/Shortsword combo as a weapon, hidden in a guitar or whatever.
1st set has a poison attack and naruto shadowclones. Has a "teleport to enemies face" skill thats pretty handy.
2nd set is very fast and full of charges. Also has a spin2win that sucks in nearby mobs, a 3hit breakdance that blinds, knockdowns, crazy stuff. And for pvp an unblockable dash that paralyzes for 2 seconds, very good for pvp.
3rd set sends out ghosts and is a ranged set. The main gimmick is tapping buttons usually just sends out a ghost to attack a ranged opponent, while holding it will have you go in place of the ghost and do bonus effects. Pretty weird, but fun.

Overall Harmony does ton of damage, but is pretty fail and has no GET THE gently caress OUT options.

As far as 9poison I only got the first two sets. They use whips and poison, think WV with S&M.
1st is pretty boring, its a ranged palm set with a whip attack that pulls you in to a target then kicks them back. The main draw is this set drops a huge plant that heals any friendly for shitloads for x seconds, 1 minute cooldown.
2nd set is a crazy whip set that focuses on AOE damage, and a few single target grabs and attacks. Has a whopping 9 skills, so plenty of room to customize for single target or aoe fighting. Seems super fun, and reasonably fast.
3rd set from what I hear cranks the aoe stuff to 11, so this class seems to be heavy on PVE and AOE attacks.

This is by no means comprehensive, just the feel I got while playing for about a week.

EDIT: I also played a LITTLE of Zephyr, 1st set is straight-up a mage with blasting ice, and a few aoe attacks. Also you can dance to heal allies :dance:
I saw a preview of the 2nd set at http://swordsman.gamepedia.com/Zephyr_skills and it looked super complicated, and had huge cooldowns on everything.

Stuff like this turned it from a dumb broken china game into a carte blanche for pvp schenanigans without any of the guilt.

Wushu's servers were so bad my ping is pretty much the same after going to wulin. I use the free version of WTFast but thats only to reduce ping spikes, averages around 180ms regardless.
Really the only negative with wulin is that books and all events are around 6 hours earlier then wushu.

That and you lose all your progress in Wushu. That's one thing making me hold off on signing up. Another is that Moonlight Blade drops in 12 days and that looks amazing, so might be worth waiting for that, play with a big Goon group again. Either way I'm going to be going to actual China at the end of June, so I'll only have a month of playtime tops. Although while I'm there I could just buy a Chinese SIM card and do whatever they have over there, I don't know. Is a SIM card all I need to get into these betas and stuff? Even if it's not connected to any carriers?

I've been "hacked" so many times in wushu I don't have much progress to lose (Only game I've ever had hacker issues with outside DFO). Definitely jumping on moonlight blade when it doesn't need china schenanigans and its in something resembling english. From the little I've seen of it looks like a very pretty version of wushu. Right now wulin is a nostalgia trip and timewaster.

So i am playing wushu too, has anyone even played any of the new eight schools? I'm playing the retooled shaolin and it is p coooooool

I was playing wushu again for a good three months or so recently so I might be able to help. The 8 new hidden schools are sister branches of the existing 8 schools. If you are a member of the associated school you can join/leave the faction and keep your main school skills.
I was scholar so I (accidentally) joined the Mt. Hua faction. It has two sets both heavily focused on 1v1 combos. 1st set is internal. entirely focused on a knockup>air knockdown>damage combo. If you get the combo off its hard to escape, but it has no versatility outside of that. Second set is a little harder to use but has some VERY high damage rages and charges. You get a few tools to give you openings for it including a three time use charge/stun, aoe pull/knockdown, silences. Only drawback is it is an external set.

You can look at all the sets on youtube if you search IXTHUA, honestly just pick what looks cool and go with it.

How much trouble is it to play AoW if you want to just run up and gank random assholes instead of being part of the ~pro elite~ PVP scene?

Thats the big problem, nobody left but those guys. There were also serious hacks/exploits that were kept secret for years and only recently patched. Stuff like summoning world bosses and calling skills to one-shot them, forcing cultivation into skills, etc.

If you played back in the day, run around enjoy the music and take in the nostalgia for a bit. I had a good 3 months or so doing that. Otherwise you're better off not getting involved.

Depends on the server I guess, they seem to do newer servers every now and then and I'm in the middle of typing this sentence and having script stealing flashbacks and feel like I need to warn you away from chinagame.exe

Speaking of that, they relaunched white tiger server for some reason if you want to play on a fresh-ish server. Heard from steam friends that you couldn't buy VIP or cash shop stuff or something, but that may have been fixed.

So china chinagame is WAY more populated. This picture taken at like midnight my time.
For those of us who are already playing malaysia version, most of the hassle is the same. Still messing with poor ping, chinese names, etc. However the server we are on here is super active vs malaysia being pretty much dead.

The only pain in the rear end is the requirement for china ID. Generated ones get you in the door, but if its not legit you get flagged as under 18 with a 3 hour time limit to play. Its loving terrible. To get around this we pay someone 10bux to make an account for us with legit info, and we have a legitimate account with no restrictions.

https://www.obtgame.com/age-of-wushu-chinese-server-account.html

Looks shady but no scamerino. Download bigbos fully translated client from the discord, and hit the right server.



That's pretty much it. We have a channel for china server and a guild set-up. If you're having fun on malaysia don't feel a need to move, but if you're bored with no people china server is good.

You can play on the chinese server, we had a discord group for it. Was a fun two months or so on a new server, but the language barrier makes grouping outside of our group hard. Otherwise though, we have a translation pack and the server ping is fairly decent. It's a totally playable chinagame experience minus the goon retard squad.
