Last night after i finished my daily maximum crafting points, i went and did some kidnapping
poison the "real life offline player" to make him sleepy, stuff him in a bag and run across town to sell him to the wharfmaster before i get nailed by other players hunting kidnappers.
then i went and spied for an hour or so, sneaking around other schools stealing secrets for xp and coin rewards
Talking about the day limit, does it 'grow' or is it always the same? After hitting 3 nodes I had already reached the limit. I know I can keep gathering/crafting but it would be nice if the limit was higher
I think that it grows. When I was a poison novicem it seems like I made 8 poisons, then was exhausted. I can make much more than that now.

Somebody, somewhere has better skills as you have, more experience as you have, is smarter than you, has more friends as you do and can stay online longer. Just pray he's not out to get you.

To the people complaining that the game doesn't seem to have a definite goal, yes you are right. If you prefer a more 'thempark' approach you probably should give this game a miss. Though it's a shame
I dont know if its because I am VIP or because I eat a lot in game, but my strength replinishes throughout the day. The only daily limit I have is on craftman skill points gain, not on mining and hunting...there is a limit but it is not daily. I trefills slowly.
Yes, player regain HP and "vigour" (strength) over time when they are not starving.
Player exhausted faster when performing crafting skills compare to gathering tasks (farming, fishing, mining etc).
If you are a cook. unlike other crafting professions, selecting advanced crafting (playing a mini-game) doen't produce better quality items (food) - but a cook might still want to play a mini-game as the cook will use less vigour (strength) for the same output if he wins compare to the "strength" requirement needed for normal (simple) craft.
However if the cook loses the mini-game - his strength pts are deduced and nothing is produced. So sometimes it is more productive just to use simple crafting if only a small amount of food is produced.
"A game is fun if it is learnable but not trivial" -- Togelius & Schmidhuber
The crafting mini game is easier if you do smaller large batches, I find 9-11 easy enough to do and win but anything over 13 is just plain hard. Otherwise I fail too much.
Yes you can become a crafter only, just like in Eve, yes you will miss out on the combat related stuff but if you want to be a crafter you probably don't care one whit anyway. I was an Eve crafter and this game seems to be just as good (as long as they don't come down 6 months from now and drop better stuff in the cash shop). You will have to pay other players for the advanced recipies...but as a crafter your bank account shouldn't be hurting that much anyway. You can even be recognized as #1 miner #1 blacksmith in the world, #1 farmer in the world, whatever. Also your combat skills will still grow because you can get exp from doing crafting and will be cultivating combat skills in the background.
So Here is what I did today,
I logged on and FINALLY got some lead mining done, but you know what, I am not selling this stuff now, no sir 1 liang a pieace was too cheap someone is gonna pay dearly for this lump of metal if they want it. 1 ding a pieace sounds about right...or maybe it will just sit in my bank and I will gloat over it.
Speaking of bank I realized I had a crafting recipie stuck in there for some earrings, I have no idea what they do (you can't tell until you have all the ingredients) so I am getting some copper right now to put that together.
I wanted the 6 man array people keep talking about, arrays are skills that are activated when more than one people join them, most of them provide a flat buff, like 10% increase in dodge or some such...but there is a 6 man some people in my guild says is nice so...off to hunt for that..
(any of you guys know the way to the 6 man array? No? Stupid Villagers.)
This involved a quest...my first quest in days really. Apparently some guy is murdered and you have to go figure out where the killer is, which I did, fight him, which I did, and bring him to justice...BUT just as I am about to declare this npc arrested some other npc jumps out and assasinates him and runs into the distance. Leaving a bomb to cover his trails.
So I had to go get some clues
(thank god they sprinkle the glow dust on the clues, otherwise I would have had to look forever eh?)
This little montage leads you right to the second instance of the game green cloud castle, lucky me I didn't have to actually go in because I wasn't rocking a group of 6 people so I just, I just stuck my toe in got the 6 man array and got out like a bandit in the night (well not like a bandit, I am a constable after all). Now the game didn't point me in the direction of this quest, had some guild mate not told me to go there and talk to this lady in one small house in one large town of many towns I may have NEVER done this.
So that was enough "Questing" for me for the week, ran to do a spy task, ran to turn it in and lo and behold my school is crawling with spys. So I turn in my spy stuff, turn on my spy hunter status and get to work, wudang RG shaolin...they all fall before my spy hunting prowess...but damn it I want that copper so I can make that earring...oh well someone else can handle the spies.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein "Graphics are often supplied by Engines that (some) MMORPG's are built in" - Spuffyre

Different things. Spying, patrolling, helping bosses in dungeons, dueling near towns, stealing offline players, training. Trying to get some expensive abilities. Probably will take me ages to do it
My shitty as internet connection has less than a gig left to download.
Thank you to those people who participated in the thread, I just woke up and spent my time reading through the thread. This game is definetly worth a damn from the little tales I've read some of you are lovely writers. I appreciate everyones input.
Yeah, the first hours are not really representative of the "real" game (unless you intend to quest a lot) and the tutorial translations need a lot of work.
Age Of Wushu has alot of PVE content but it also has many other features. Their are many sorces of information about this game it,really isnt hard to find. I will say that i have moved from the US version to the russian which you can play in english. The russian version is way better than the US version of the game.

So i downloaded the game and really tried my best to get into it. I can even get past the asian art style but i just keep getting the feeling that i am playing some cheap Perfect World F2P MMO. Hey atleast i tried
I will stick to EVE for now and wait patiently till Repopulation release.

Just wondering.. what makes the Russian version way better than the US version?
I have played both.
The Russian version has some small UI changes which I think are better. For example the text in the chat and system windows and onscreen messages are cleaner and sharper. The task/quest window is a little better too. It basically looks like the current Chinese version whereas the US version looks a little different.
The Russian version includes the meridian system (acupoints to be opened by gaining chi which increase your stats) and the ability to earn skill points to create combos with your skills without cooldowns. The US version doesn't have either of these. As far as I know meridians and combos were included in the Chinese version in August.
It all makes me think Snail Games took an older version of the client for localisation in the US, but that's just my assumption.
Plus currently the US version allows only 10 hours of play in the beta plus 1 hour a day thereafter unless you pre-purchase 60 days of VIP status. The Russian beta does not have a time restriction for any players (which is why many players moved to it).
How many issues are you having with well .. Russian .. on the Russian version?
I'm ok with not being able to communicate much, but in a game this complex it might be a good thing to find a few people to converse with now and then.
Feel free to use my referral link for SW:TOR if you want to test out the game. You'll get some special unlocks!

The russian version is totally free and you can play how much you want. In the US version you have to buy the game or you can only play for 1 hour each day of a maximum of 10 hours.
I dislike US versions of games, mostly they try to milk even when games are in beta. EU and RU have much better versions.
Originally posted by InFlamestwo I'm not been able to PvP, Duel or Spy on a school. Not sure how to do it and it doesn't say much ingame.
You need to complete the first chapter of your school story, and your internal skill cultivation needs to be 5. So basically stay on the the story quest until it stops.

I think that it grows. When I was a poison novicem it seems like I made 8 poisons, then was exhausted. I can make much more than that now.

See you all in age of wushu.
I installed it yesterday and I wanted a sandbox game. But in the first hour I just run from A to B with auto pathing and pressed "Yes" and "complete".
I will see what the next days bring. But the start was confusing and boring.
Just wondering.. what makes the Russian version way better than the US version?
Well if you live in EU, the ping.
Also it doesn't limit the time you ca nbe online, like the NA do
So i downloaded the game and really tried my best to get into it. I can even get past the asian art style but i just keep getting the feeling that i am playing some cheap Perfect World F2P MMO. Hey atleast i tried
