Age of Wushu

[WayAbvPar]

This game is strangely intriguing. Might have to give it a try.

[ezrast]

I read the SA writeup linked in the other thread and I'm sold. Time to be a badass calligrapher.

There will be two new servers launching later today, you will probably have more fun starting on a clean server than an established one.

I was going to do this until I remembered that you guys would all be on Blue Dragon. Wouldn't want to miss the traditionally grandiose f13 community presence.

This game is just weird to me. I think it's my first skilled based game, so the whole "no killing mobs for xp" is really throwing me. Spent some time fishing of all things 

[Mrbloodworth]

You didn't answer the question.

I will, its not a fun game.

[Nija]

Why would you have to RMT to get bag space? a bag cost about what half a kidnapping gets you and lasts for a month.  You don't have to RMT to do anything, the offline leveling and extra money from kidnapping are totally worth the 9 bucks a month vip costs.  Some people seem to equate "you can buy money from the store" to "you have to buy money from the store to afford even the most basic items" which is ridiculously untrue.

Maybe.

How do I replace my horse with another good horse?

[Threash]

You buy one.  Like in any other game ever.

[Nija]

Are the 30 day horses available purchase for normal in game currency, or only currency that you acquire through RMT? I'm not talking about the slow shitty horse. I'm talking about the fast ones that you got for paying to beta.

[Threash]

They are not bound, there are tons of them on the regular market.  The RMT money to game money conversion is horrible and about the worst possible way to get things.

[WayAbvPar]

Not getting off to a very good start. Can't launch the game even after multiple installations. Getting a Configuration File Update Failed error, which seems to cause the server list to malfunction; only shows Blue Dragon, and says it is offline for maintenance. Posted in the forums, sent in trouble tickets, no responses after 10 hours or so. I am not sure why I had any faith in this dodgy operation in the first place.

They are spamming commercials for this on Comedy Central and Adult Swim pretty much non-stop.

[Raguel]

Good news is you can run multiple instances, even though there's no particular reason why one should. 

Insomnia strikes again, so looks like I'm making a shaolin. 

I think this game has a great atmosphere. Lots to love if you're a Rper. Right now I don't see much of a game though. I'm in a decent sized guild so I'm going to try to do more guildy stuff and run some instances for flight scripts.

and my inbox.

DL'd this Wednesday. I thing strangely interesting describes my reaction. I can echo the difficulty of the interface, so much going on there that sometimes I spend minutes trying to figure out where to find that X that I found before.

None the less I quite like it. How long it holds my interest is hard to tell. So far my fights have either been easy even with the clunky interface or oops I'm dead. It can be a bit hard to determine whether or not you have a chance in a fight. I love the atmosphere, Chengdu feels like a city, unlike any other in a MMO that I can remember. The schools are huge and there's plenty to explore. That should give me at least a month of enjoyment despite the flaws.

Yeah it was kinda odd seeing commercials for a game with a rape cut scene on nickelodeon.

[koro]

Wait, they can afford to buy ads on Adult Swim (which is not cheap), but not pay for a localization that's better than "Google Translate and hope for the best"?

[Bzalthek]

During my free month I spent a lot of offline time training skills and logged in like once a day or every other.  You get a lot of the "real" currency randomly.  I frequently got 50 Liang for "coming into unexpected money yay!" by just logging in.  Then bank space and mounts paid for.

I think you've answered your own question. 

[Raguel]

The worst thing about the translation is trying to understand how the game works. I'd change that but leave the quest dialogue alone. First time I ever felt like an npc was trolling me lol.

[WayAbvPar]

Got it working by adding manual exceptions to my firewall for fxlaunch.exe and fxupdate.exe. It is definitely interesting, but godfuckingdamn is it confusing. I would pay top dollar for a GOOD hard copy strategy guide.

[Threash]

I so love this game.

[Raguel]

I'd like this game more if I could pvp. I really really stink at it 

[Threash]

It actually takes practice and knowing your own and other schools styles to get good at it.

[Njal]

I just got the more advanced flying skills. I love it! I totally suck at pvp but flying about and doing spy missions are great fun. I make most of my money by making cloth and selling it to stalls. Ah well good fun for me anyway.

[Tmon]

I've come to the conclusion that for me it's better to just follow the thread about it than it would be to ever play. 

[WayAbvPar]

It is going to take some loving patches to make it palatable to most MMO players, but it is strangely addictive as it is. I haven't REALLY had fun yet, but I feel like the fun is right around the corner somehow. Probably once I figure out half of what the fuck the interface is trying to tell me.

Just because you smell horseshit around the corner, doesn't mean you'll find a pony there ;)

This would be perfect in the Camelot Unchained thread.

It would be more applicable there, that's for sure.

At least this Wushu game exists. People are playing it.

I'm not really knocking on it. I saw an opportunity to build on the "around the corner" phrase.

  Well played sir.

This is pretty much how I feel. Also, one can only have 3 instances of AoW active at a time. Don't judge me. 

[Raguel]

AoW, y u no sai skill has long range? 

After getting beat down by a lower ranked scholar, then watching another wudang beat said scholar, I can see what I'm doing wrong. Not sure I have the coordination to switch weapon skills, but at least I have a better idea of what to do re: pvp.

Also, AoW is about to get realz: my guild apparently ticked off the only friendly guild we had at the time, and now another, more powerful guild wants our guild base. Feeling a bit sb dejavu right about now. Oh well there's always Goons 

[Threash]

Skills with range do mention the range.

[Raguel]

Skills with range do mention the range.

Sir, if that were true, that would mean I was wrong. I am not wrong, therefore it is not true. 

[Mithas]

I tried playing this game....I don't even know what to think. Clearly I need a guide.
