How is your cultivation doing, young Master?
>>726377778young masters, jade beauties, cultivation to immortality, the dao, stone gambling, calligraphy, poetry, courting death etc.we have it all, in this jade emperor's realm.please install where winds meet, young masters.
>>726377778Stuck waiting 3 more days for my next bout of progressGames fun as fuck, even if the parry feels awful at times due to what I assume is netcodeReally want them to accel updates so we can get the new weapons quickly and get up to parity with CN
>>726377778>p2w slopthis is the demonic path, anon. your dao is shallow.
>>726378006how do people finish the story and max out stuff already. I been playing since release and i barely finished exploring/doing all activities in first region, though i am combing everything.
>>726377778Junior, the 7 divine heavenly realms rejected your destiny. I will keep cultivating tale of immortal
>>726378017>p2Wtheres zero p2w, only cosmetics in shop. Not even battlepass is needed.
>>726378017>spreading falsitiesHah! Another lackey of the demon cults trying to sew discord with us honorable ones. Begone, before I shatter your golden core tenfold!
>>726378197My path to Immortality is becoming Bamboo Saint. I see bamboo - i cut it. No stale is safe from me. The land is shaved clean by my sword.
>>726378186I dunno man I've sunk in like50 hoursjust running around hitting key questsOnce you hit a level limit once and then keep playing the banked xp just keeps accumulating, think I'm at like 1 mil stored xp right now? So every breakthrough is a very short levelup right back to capIts just fun
>>726378264>gachaslop>GaaSlop>the inevitable truth that the game will one day die and you'll never be able to play it againJunior, you have eyes but cannot see Mt. TaiNow, kowtow 9 times and cripple your cultivation! If you do so before two incence sticks have burned, then I will spare 9 generations of your family (including the chickens) from my rage.
>>726378017This guy spent around $160,000 USD for this boat and it's all just to be the host of a weekly event. He gets no advantage in PvE or PvP whatsoever.

>>726378590Is spending that much money in such a short amount of time even legal?
Gets boring rather quickly but it's a niche and if you're into that niche this is all you're getting so you better play it.
>>726378628>Beyoung Sky there is Anotether SkyGood. Good. GoodThis daddy appreciates a fool that's willing to act like a senior. If you empty your space ring and chop off your own head, then this grandaddy won't have a reason to visit your sickly little sister in your home village.
>>726378749That would have sounded more intimidating if you werent the guy on the left.
I tried to play it and it was beautiful but too much for my ageing PC.And the UI is abysmal.
Why is the first chapter's boss basically a final boss from any other souls-like? Seems a little overkill to go from a random horse to that.
>>726378675>you will never cultivate while addicted to your thinly veiled lust.This whole game is a circus of vanity.
>>726379089>but too much for my ageing PCHave you tinkering with settings? I have pretty old machine and it works pretty well.
Pure evil
>horse fucking me in the ass and takes forever to kill>fuck it just start spamming charged heavy attacks like I do to regular enemies>charged heavy attacks do 30% of its hp per combo instead of having to break its endurance for that much damage>falls overok fine I was not ungaing hard enough with the thunder blade
>>726379269>I want too look like an animu troon when every NPC is wearing normal clothes and black hair>ok, pay up piggy>Noooo!!!Kek
I just started. How is my girl?
When does the game get fun?
>>726379634Watch out for random aphrodesiac poisons that'll send you mad over time. Yang rod treatment doesn't work for women like you, who aren't jade beauties.
>>726379685When you get to the first region final boss, get your ass handed to you and we have fun laughing
So um what's the plan to defeat all those free PS4 tier games from China? Keep making 70 dollar PS4 games on 600 dollar consoles and wait for bankruptcy? There's only so many rabid chinaphobes, most people would pick a free game
>>726378590>only 45 likeswas it worth it
>>726378590Actually dupes of the mount/costume is probably converted to the exchange currency so if they give 1x per dupe it drops down to $56k, and if they give 2x it's $34k.
>>726378186Take your time, the map isn't even fully released yet, the last bit of it releases next week apparently
Someone already bought the 40k boat
>>726380097at least it's in an actual gamepeople are spending more on star citizen ships and that's not even out
>the easiest way to get weekly points is playing mahjongyou will never escape the mahjong mines
>starting itwhat am i in for young masters
>>726381271>get to the tutorial>okay i should really use a controller for this>plug in my controller>still stuck in mkboh god is this one of those devs like owlcat where you need to restart the entire thing to swap mkb/controller
>>726381373Maybe you need to restart once or somesuch. Because normally you can use both. I use controller for gameplay and mouse from menu browsing and it's works fine.
>>726380335AAAAIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>726381373Werks on my machine. I'd rather play with KBM anyway because my experience playing the game with controller has been shitty one.
>>726379970there lot more regions to be release later, i.e. desert, snow region etc. so new maps will be comming every 3 months or so
I unironically love the story and the side-quests. Yes, the translation and dub diminishes the experience, but you can see the effort and love put into so many parts of them.
there's a phase two??>>726381486>restart oncethanks that workedwhat's the button to deflect on controller?
>>726381757It should be a faster schedule if they want to have global content releases at some point.
>>726381993explain to me what was "replacing eyes" of Ice maiden all about?
>>726382091LB block, RB deflect
>stumble upon a wolf girl boss>gets my shit pushed in>alt tab to fap to kemonomimi femdom10/10 game
so what do you actually DO in this game?
Final boss. Unbeatable on Legendary.
>>726382314everything. It has so many activities you likely will be lost and shell shocked
>>726382485>camelsThis junior hails from dragon country, not pyramid country.
>>726381373no I use both, controller for playing and keyboard for some shortcuts
seniors, have you found a way to farm the ore material for upgrading gear?
>>726382536>more hot evil womenStop, my jade pillar can only get so erect
>>726382180nta but why does replacing eyes confuse you? Just one of those mystic arts probably, what's the problem with replacing eyes
>>726382772I just bought everything I need from the shops, was enough for me
>>726382236is there a heal?if i had one heal i could do this. don't tell me i should lower the difficulty... you can't raise it again later
Cool place. Crazy how many towns this game has, and most buildings are enterable, and most NPCs have something to say
>>726382913up on the controller is your flask. not sure if you have that for the tutorial bosslater you can get a secondary healing weapon like the fan
>>726383025>not sure if you have that for the tutorial bossYou have a lot of potions for the tutorial boss (like ~10 I think). Plus you have mystic arts — and some of those stagger the boss meaning it's free damage.
>>726383025yeah thanks. first try.and now for the most difficult decisions: character creation.
>>726383418bear in mind that your character is canonically 16 years old. at least at the start, I dunno if there's going to be a timeskipI made an unc and it feels weird
Apparently you can change your voice. Has anyone tried it? Away from my pc rn
>>726383418i like that you can see popular characters. >>726383508is there really no NPC romance? i'm looking it up and the marriage system is locked to the multiplayer according to what i'm seeing.
>>726383418Technically you can change everything later, but beware that swapping gender is expensive. So at the very least you'd better decide whether you want to play as a dashing young man or a jadelike beauty.
>>726383606How? Recording multiple male and female options sounds like a lot of work for a GAAS with a ton of dialogue
>>726383656AI
>>726383606>>726383656its not changing MC voice, its changing YOUR voice in push to talk. So you can pick to sound like anime loli when you are 40 yo male neckbeard. Its in options.
>>726383618>is there really no NPC romanceno you can only become friendly with NPCs and you'll receive weekly gifts from them. I hear you can also hire servants for your housing but I haven't gotten to that.or you can break the AI into larping some goon shit with you
>>726383618>is there really no NPC romance?No it's only player marriage for now, but according to chinese players NPC marriages are coming eventually.Also there is an AI chat available with some NPCs and you can ERP with them.
>>726383720>trannies get even more tools to trick faggots into marriagehaha
>>726377778my only qualm is that it adds root kits
>>726383760
>>726383656it looks like they're using some sort of clustering algorithm on voice recognition. i thought initially that they might use voice profile generation, but maybe that's still too expensive and slow to do.>>726383720is that really what's happening? i'm still in character creation.>>726383781i'm sure it's nothing new to trannies to use a voice changer on a mic. i don't think your in-game character talks to other npcs in the game voice either anyway.
No. no no no no. How can you like this game? I hated it, that's no possible.
where are the men's haircuts
How many chapters does the Chinese version currently have?
Is there a quest at mercyheart town? There's talk about poisonous flowers, Rats and mices, but nothing pops up.
>>72637859040k>>726379930after the party boat he's currently sitting at 2,770 likesbut the real "was it worth it" was the fact that the voice channel for the party boat was full of loud niggers muh dicking and then a wigger who unironically said he wished he wasn't white and was basically begging to suck the black guys off
>>726384635>niggers in the jianghui was hoping to get away from them at least here
Are they ever gonna unfuck the translation or is this google translate shit all we gonna get?
How is my cultivator
>>726382180it's literally giving her new eyes. she was born blind, someone who cared about her (can't remember if it was a lover or whatever) promised to get her eyes that could see or something, and he kept that promise even after she died.
>>726378690I don't know what kind of shithole you live in where spending money on dumb shit is illegal.
>>726384698>Are they ever gonna unfuck the translationThat's unlikely
>>726384698Game seems like a massive success in the west, I genuinely hope they do.
>>726384698its AI translated and also AI voice acting for all the side npcs
>>726384698They've already tweaked a few things already now. The command for a chest is actually>opennow instead of the nonsense it was before
>>726379634Like a peasant. Even the eldest masters are driven raving mad by this most un-jade beauty. Legend says enough Yang deposit will jadeify her, but that might be just Master coping about his taste in mistresses that are also his students.
>>726385034a very cute peasant though
>>726381373Press buttons on KB or move your mouse and it should take input by default.This is a Genshin-clone so it plays better on KB&M, while controller is CBT.
Damn I burned out on this game way faster than I thing I would.I hate the Chinese theme. Like, EVERYTHING YOU DO IS SO AGGRESSIVELY CHINESE. Why must every single boss be some traditional Chinese folklore thing? Le dancing horse, le mask guy, ahh fuck this.The story is awful and the game never places me in cool battles despite the combat being cool otherwise.Also the map is so unmemorable. Everything blends together. It doesn't hold a candle to Genshin Impact where every inch of the map feels unique.This is another case of an okay game that fails to make the player feel engaged with the setting and the story.
>>726384997it was "enable" before
You better not reply
>>726385202Fully agree
>>726377778LF jade beauty
>>726384780Looks good besides the schnoz.
Should I start this game or Deadlock? I only have time for one game consuming my life during the holidays.
>>726377930can you wear a green hat?
>>726385478Completely different games and genres, what are you eve memeing about. I'd go with this, but mostly because I dislike hero shooters.
>>726385202Word. I wanted to try this since Aion 2 wasn't yet global, but the story and theme didn't draw me in that much. It's like genshin impact but super Chinese.
>>726385478One an arpg with mmo mode the other is a fucking arena shooter. What the fuck kinda question is this???
>>726377930You forget auction and background.
>log in >NPCs I befriended sent me giftsIt's that easy huh...
>>726385631Believe or not, AION 2 is extremely bad in its current state. Played till level 20 and its baffling how automated and lifeless the world is. The cashop controversy and the massive backlash that made them hold an emergency livestream where they apologized and nearly cried was not expected at all.
Ruby is really annoying. >"i won't talk to you again"so don't. pipsqueak.
>>726385667Wait until an npc tells you that you're special to them and that they're always there for you.
>>726377930You forget about auction and background.
>paradise version of blissfull retreat where the npcs are all alive>you get to fight Yi DaoHoly absolute KINO
>>726385202yea it gave me chinese fatigue after just a couple hours
>>726385202>story, map, art directionAll of those things are good, you just can't get over the culture shock. You're like a 2000s dudebro who just can't get into anime and has to hate every Japanese game while playing Halo and CoD
>>726385202To be fair you have to have prior experience with chink media to be able to fully bathed yourself with the cringemaxxing story of this game. Otherwise it will just come off like how westerner see loli culture of japan.
>>726385856>that part when the celebrations happen and the MC is happy as hell because everyone is thereAlso, one of the most beautiful areas of the game. How this game didn't even win over in the art department from journos is anyone's guess. They love movie games so much that they hand out easy 9s and 10s and this game gets a 6?
>why must the game set in Wuxia fantasy be so chinese?Nigger....that's the premise...
>>726385798Just the ENG version of her where she sounds like a 30 year old woman. CN one is cute
>>726385968But Japanese games are not like this. They might have some traditional Japanese food and so on, but otherwise they are pretty universal.I have played other Chinese games like Genshin Impact and had a great time.This game is not merely Chinese, it is extremely aggressively Chinese, it's hard to put in words just how absurdly Chinese it is.
>>726385798don't worry, she dies soon
>>726377778Is this a Soulslike?
>>726386057Too young to remember those dudebros? Anime is anime, it's a culture shock to a guy who grew up watching western movies and tv shows. These days anime is mainstream but it wasn't back then. FF7 may not be very Japanese but Cloud would not star in a Hollywood movie, he looks and acts ridiculous from the perspective of someone who expects a Hollywood protagonist
>>726386012I love the chinese bullshit in it, I love it when the chinese fully embrace their history instead of the cringe CCP censorship which is thankfully becoming more and more loose when it comes to (most) pre-CCP China, at least in a broad senseThey use to be forbidden from discussing it at all and went around destroying shit during Mao's era
>>726386057>it's hard to put in words just how absurdly Chinese it isNo its easy to put into words. One word actually: WuxiaThis is a deliberately Wuxia setting game. On purpose. You don't have to like it, but it wasn't trying to trick you or anyone into believing it was something else. It's in your face obviously a Wuxia game.
>>726379634She looks bored. Very cute.
>>726386162Ghost of Tsushima with GTA online social features and genshin impact style mini games and open world.
what kind of trashy martial art do people just give away for free like this.my foundations are going to be all wrong>>726386039yeah that's what i noticed. should i swap to CN voice? i don't like the way chinese language sounds, though. it's not like french or japanese when i hear it. it's more like... hindu to my ears.i guess i could just try getting used to it.>>726386102that's awful. she's just a child...
>>726386209Is Genshin Impact Wuxia?
>>726386162No not at all. There are some superficial UI elements that resemble souls games, but it plays nothing like a souls game.
>>726386251Why wouldn't you play in CN for maximum immersion?
>>726386260No. It's a mishmash of many different genres. Each region has its own theme. Liyue is mostly xianxia though aka chinese high fantasy
>>726384907I mean the guy is transferring large amounts of money to china for a "skin". Everyone should assume he's some kinda dealer or informant because surely no one would buy a fake boat for this much money.
>>726386225More like Witcher 3 questing with Genshin exploration and Sekiro bosses and an MMO. Once you get to the city it becomes a lot more like Witcher 3, Tsushima had nothing like that
>>726379753More revenge storyslop with dykes and fags
>>726382387*tai chis it into a lake*The fuck kinda goose can't swim?
>>726386313is this Wuxia?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwiKfVsrbaM
>>726386319I see so many people praising Kaifeng. Is it the same as Novigrad in terms of city detail and npc volume?
>>726378590Dude gets all the jade beauty yin pots.
>>726386314There's really only 1 possibilities1. It's a whale2. It's some sort of illegal shit like money laundering
>>726386251Yeah it was rough for me at first too but now 40 hours in I'm used to Chinese sounds. Girls sound very cute in Chinese actually, they're squeaking all the timeIt is annoying that you have to read subs for random NPC banter in towns though, but I just ignore it
>>726386057there are some japanese games like that. for example Monster Hunter Rise is obnoxiously japanese>>726386309I just don't like how it sounds is all. >>726386404Yeah I switched to CN voices and immediately Ruby was cute. Like a dorky little sister kind of thing, a bit endearing. Amazing how quickly hearing a 30yo american woman speak turns me off.
>>726386374It's bigger and pretty much every building is enterable, and you can talk to almost everyone, and there's a whole bunch of new mini-games and shit. Visually it's nothing special though, AssCreed had nicer looking cities. But it feels overwhelming in terms of content
>>726386404Femc is very cute I love her. She sounds exactly like an asian tomboy. I wish there was a way to make her dress like one instead of girly dresses. Like maybe something that Qianye wears where it's a sarashi/chest wrap and half a robe covering the body.
>>726378017>in reality: only cosmetics are purchased with real moneyWhy do troons hate chink games so much? Do attractive characters bother you THAT much?
>>726386485>Visually it's nothing special thoughnigga get out of the slum and get over to the palace and the courtesan sect area
I kinda regret not making a male character but Blade's bromance with your char is really something you don't see much in games anymore.
Chinese dub is actually professionalThe Killerblade guy had a really good carefree bandit toneIts not like there arent good eng voice actors but they arent usually hired for this kind of games, only bottom of the barrell tier
Did you drop legend difficulty? It gets more bearable as you unlock more skills.
Does PvP having normalized stats mean that martial arts levels on weapons have no effect? Or do I still need to breakthrough and level up everything to use it effectively in pvp?
>>726386026I feel like the gaming press is biased against Chinese games in a very similar way to how it was biased against Japanese games in the early 10s. It's probably not intentional but there still seems to be this tendency to treat chinese games as something "second rate".I feel if WWW was made by a American, European or Japanese developer, its average on Metacritic would be around 80 rather than around 70.
>>726386681Reading up on steam, no a person with higher level and upgrades than you, especially those with more unlocked talents, are going to body you faster. Unless you are so good that you can stunlock the other guy, he's going to kill you 5 hits while it takes you 15.
>>726386665Never bothered, I don't care about bosses being punishingly hard.
>>726386251The CN dub in WWM doesn't have the 4kids sounding version of genshin and its clone, also helps that they don't try to fit wordsalad into one breathing.
>>726386779Reviews were clearly biased, the game has a astounding amount of content, combat is fun and visuals are crazy for a F2P title. I thought it was going to be a shitty MMO monetized up to the ass but Im totally hooked.
>>726386779And it's probably just because of the bad taste about the gacha and cash shop cosmetics and the fact that the game is free to play GaaS. However as I go through these quests, especially the ones you find later lv30+, easily rival or close to in quality to the usual games that get stellar reviews from journos. The game is a little bit janky here and there, but then so is shit like that is being sold for 60-70 dollars.On one hand, I really do wish this was a finished game and I don't support more live service shit, but I will praise the content that this game has because it is very easy to forget that this game is f2p. And if those who tried the game on CN servers are right, apparently the game gets even better later on.
Anons am i going to regret picking the heal as my initial martial art? >>726386779what are you doing even paying attention to those crooks. i know it's convenient, but so are payday loan scams.
>>726387067>Anons am i going to regret picking the heal as my initial martial art?Yes, you can unlock those fans very early. So pick something else instead.
>>726386779I have literally never listened to official reviews, why the fuck do you?They're written by genuine retards and paid shills
>>726387067No. You are going to NEED it. This game isn't like a soulslike where dying just refills your potions. You have craft/farm them like in Bloodborne. Having a fan means you have a steady source of healing as well as a ranged weapon. You can later experiment with other weapon pairings but fan is a very good starter weapon.
>>726386779Nah the game rightfully sucked in its present state. Putting aside the visual, you have this illusion of content but they are all feels like a half baked idea put together, just so they could pad more data into their DAU/MAU or whatever metric they use these days. Once the novelty wears off people will see the game for what it truly is. Janky Chinky game.
>>726387130thanks, that's a big help. any specific suggestion? >>726387210i see. but the other anon said you can just unlock it for free right at the start
>>726387210On second thought, >>726387130is correct. If I remember correctly, there the place where you can unlock the martial art for the fan is in the same first area.If you need a defensive weapon, Mo Blade is pretty good. Asmongold beat the Act 1 boss by just tanking everything.
Can anyone help with Season Chapter 4? Discord and Ingame usless, can't get a reply. Need a Cohort or Coop Legacy/Campaign but I don't know how to do that.
>>726387262>>726387313Found it. The panacea martial art can be unlocked here. However you are going to need a key and the touch of death mystic art/assassinate skill if you want to do it easily. So you're probably going to do a bit more exploring before you get it.
>>726382546It's a journey to the West, oblivious junior.
>the game has a stock market mechanicEvery now and then I'm finding something new about this shit.
>>726386026>How this game didn't even win over in the art department from journos is anyone's guess.It's Chinese. They did the same thing with Genshin Impact but that game was so good it still won tons of awards. Until it was old enough that they were safe to go back to ignoring it.
>>726377778Where? why they meet? what you speak of?
>>726387724I think back then Mihoyo was relatively new so the idea of an underdog chinese dev had an appeal for journos. That isnt the case anymore since mihoyo is rich as fuck, given how they promptly ignored every hoyo game after 2021. Meanwhile WWM is from Netease. It's fair and easy to demonize them because frankly they are just as much as corporate as ubisoft, EA and activision. No surprise it's getting snubbed everywhere.
>>726386665>It gets more bearable as you unlock more skills.What skills offer big jumps in QoL for Legend?I'm still struggling to feel any real sense of progression other than swapping to Nameless Spear and strong attack spinning on exhausted niggas to do an extra 5-10% per qi break. Morale Chant, upgrading weapons/skills, etc hasn't changed things up from being a ticklefest to boss health inbetween parries for me
>>726379753It's kind of fascinating, honestly. A game that was clearly not cheap to make being given away for free. It basically works on an honor system: You only pay for it if you want to and how much you want to. And yet it still seems to make a profit.Does make you wonder, you know. What else could just be given away for free with paying money for it being voluntary?>>726387067>>726387145I have nothing against video game critics. Overall I don't think they assess games differently than other players do. I don't think there's anything wrong with reading a couple of reviews for a game and get a feeling for what general consensus is. At least if you're wondering whether it's worth buying on release before regular players had a chance to form an opinion.
>>726378017>not P2WI won't be playing it then.Only games that mirror the cruelty of this world are worthy of my time.
>>726387990extra vitality for mystic skillsmystic skills that does some damagetiering up martial arts give some special buffs too
>>726388059I am looking at the gacha for this game based on the CN stuff and apparently, it isnt much either. The rest is your average 20-30 dollar outfits. Everything else are battle pass skins, event skins and free rewards. This model is fine for lower budget online games but this is an open world game with a lot of cutscenes and dialog that dont charge for anything unlike FFXIV or WoW that has paid expansions and subscriptions. I guess people really just topping up on the battle pass and monthly passes every month?
>>726387932>I think back then Mihoyo was relatively new so the idea of an underdog chinese dev had an appeal for journos.Who knows why you're thinking that, they tried as hard as possible to ignore them. 25 ratings for a good multiplatform game that cost 100 million lol. The only reason Genshin got more coverage than this is because it's just a better game. Doesn't really affect the success of the games though it's just virtue signaling or reverse shilling at the end of the day.
>>726386606I mean it looks nice for a free game don't get me wrong. But it's not blowing my mind, it's just on par with the other PS4 gen games
Can I play as an old man? If not I won't install
Tian Ying violates me even when I dropped difficulty to story mode :(
>>726387262>thanks, that's a big help. any specific suggestion?Twinblades are also in the first region, mo blade and umbrella is in the second one.I'd go with mo blade. It's a bit boring, but pretty strong and easy to get into.
>>726386984>cash shop cosmeticsI mean ass creed has cash shop cosmetics for like a decade now, I don't see them deducing points for that
>>726388496>deducing pointssorry I'm retarded you know what I mean>>726388454physically yes you can look old, story wise you're 16
>>726388349Current state Genshin? Absolutely. But you are forgetting how incredibly barren launch Genshin was. It ended in a cliffhanger in Liyue, the only bosses were the wolf and the dragon, while everything else are plants and cubes. There definitely wasnt much in the way of side quests either. Never mind the variety of side activities games we had at the start.
I'm too brainlet for these ultra chink games, I'm trying to understand all the proper nouns and concepts in dialogue but I'm fucking lost. I will never ascend.
>>726388610>Current state Genshin? AbsolutelyBut Not cry is the worst region so far. Even Wuwa mogs Genshin now, and WWM mogs both. And I say that as a 1.0 Genshin veteran. Genshin peaked in Inazuma
>>726388758>InazumaNah. Personally it was the first half of sumeru. And only if you ignore the Wanderer shit. First Sage of Buer was hype as shit.
>>726388758NTA but Nod Krai shits on Natlan and Fontaine. Genshin peaked with Sumeru.
>>726388751It's only rough at the start when you don't understand some basic concepts. When the story gets going it's pretty simple stuff.Just understand that you're a mystery nigga who was raised by an unc (currently missing) and an aunt (mystery nigga herself). And the game is set around the capital of Song dynasty which is a brand new dynasty, still fighting proto-mongols from the north who ruled the land until just recently, Khitans. And in the south there are 10 Chinese kingdoms that Song will proceed to unify in the next decade or so. Southern Tang being the biggest of themAnd Jianghu is just the name for the world of martial arts, it's nothing really, it's like bushido or something
>>726388610It wasn't barren it had lots of content but this is all besides the point. The point was that the journalists ignored it and didn't give it credit where it was due, like almost all Chinese games. Even Wukong had GOTY stolen from it.
>>726377778My only gripe with this game right now is that hand-to-hand kung fu is not a main "weapon" class of its own. Sure there are some skills but I want to be doing drunken master five finger heart exploding palm type shit by default.
>>726389009Also to add to what this anon said consider thinking that everyone and their mother here is secretly a martial artist themselves so you don't easily get lost during the story. Think of Kungfu Panda where even a baby is a martial artist
>>726388463that's the one i went with. I was hoping it would deal poise damage but it has a little shield instead. which is fine I guess.looks like i'm about to fight the first boss. pretty fun so far. the little messages people leave remind me of elden ring at launch.Is it fun to co-op this game? usually, i like to do exploration solo
>>726389009Rather than bushido it's more like chivalry. Bushido focuses on the honor code of a warrior to himself, his clan, and his lord and to always hone and perfect his martial prowess so that he may bring even more honor to his name. Chivalry, and the pursuit of Jianghu, is similar in that it is very idealistic about using using strength to protect the weak and to seek martial combat with other fighters to improve oneself while trying to prove the superiority of your skills over your peers. Bushido is rigid in that it imposes on a warrior a strict set of guidelines on what and what not to do, which you can see being the dilemma in Ghost of Tsushima. Meanwhile a Jianghu warrior will forego dogma to do what he thinks is just and right, even if it turns him into a villain in the eyes of others. This is basically what happened to your uncle, Jiang Yan, when he kidnapped your character as a baby.
>>726377778I highly doubt anyone knows this chink slop but goddamn its like being back in it but better.
can you edit your character after starting the game? the menus in this game will be the death of me, i can't find shit herei've played for couple of hours and turns out with facial animations my jade beauty looks more like an ayy who licked a lemon...
>>726389646Yes. Under appearance in the menu.
How do you change the weapon fire/poison/etc buff? I opened it once during a tutorial pop up and then completely forgot about it
>>726389697Press B and then go to quick use items. To switch them from your potions, hold alt and press either lmb or rmb to scroll through your consumables.
is this game better than wuchang?
>>726389584This game desperately need fist weapons.
>>726380335after yakuza mahjong tourney im not ready to step into the ring again
>>726390039Can't really compare them. Wuchang is a soulslike, this is an open world game. It depends on which you prefer, I guess. I got burnt out on soulslike games so pretty much uninstalled Wuchang after two hours.
Prob another year until fists become available…God fucking damn it bros… I wanna rp as guo jing.
>>726385113Built for dual cultivation by shady instant cultivation breakthrough merchant.
>>726382546dumbass china has camels. Kaifengs real world counter part literally has rental camels fucknut ass ballsack
>>726389414>I was hoping it would deal poise damage but it has a little shield instead. Shield is great. Also it's normal attack combo is atrocious, but bear with it for a bit. Once you unlock heavy attacks — that's when this weapon starts working as intended. Fully charged heavy attacks with mo blade are deadly.
>>726390039Personally I like wuchang's outfits and aesthetics/art style more but as a game and story wise, I prefer this. It's genuinely comfy to unwinde and enjoy the nice scenery or switch to mmo mode and just watch what other people are doing.
>sidequest where the main character is so lazy he ends up in jail and actually enjoys it>joining midnight blades but instead get scammed into jester sect by guy named Midnight bladezSoul
>>726389338It comes later, it just released in chinaFist weapons i mean
>>726389414You're just starting out. Once you upgrade a little bit more, the shield literally allows you to superarmor and face tank bosses.
>>726390346But he uses a sword.
>>726389903Thanks bro
i can't say i understand the hype yet. i got 2 hours in tonight. i assume i'm still in a tutorial phase?
The entire community surrounding this game is going to be MMOfag trannylarpers isn't it? You can avoid that stuff while playing but on a large enough scale these will be the people who stick around between patches.
>>726390667It unironically gets better the more you uncover of the world. Side-quests, bosses. movement skills and so on. But don't force yourself if you don't enjoy it.
>>726390667There is just so much fucking stuff in the game and the grinding is fun.wanna build a Castle wherever you like?sure go ahead.
>>726390490For me it's the build up to General Ye Wanshan at the Bodhi Sea area.>that poison swamp with alligators>ominous as fuck drums in the distance>enemies have guts where they won't die until their stamina runs out>the more drums you beat, the louder and louder the main drum near the pagoda booms>once you finally summon the boss, you are taken to a battlefield where there's heaps of corpses all around
>>726390667Yeah it takes a while to understand the scope of what's going on in this game. Story only really gets going by the end of act 1 and the combat only really opens up when you fill up those skill slots
>>726385202This guy was called "dumb frog poster" one too many times so now he posts Aqua instead
>>726377778Hot take, this is how baldur gate 3 supposed to be.
>>726390851But why did he kill them though. I still don't get that story even after reading the biography in the menu
>>726390749>>726390820>>726390859aight i'm gonna stick with it anyway. >>726390731from what i've seen from the dark souls type messages around the world, the playerbase is not trannies at all. i think this being a chinese game, they're getting away with actually funny messages that aren't instantly censored or banned.
>>726390667The opening grassy fields are bit meh personally, but like other people say, the story gets better once the character killer blade shows up while for gameplay, it gets better once you unlock most of your mobility skills, mystic arts, talents and so on. It has the usual mmo progression while playing like a single player game.
life in the jianghe is so expensive... this is worse than that time i had to save up for a bike in pokemon>>726390569that first 'boss', the tiger fort guy with the two axes was a joke. the tutorial boss was way tougher
>>726390667Stop following the main storyLiterally just explore, you'll find so much weird/cool shit, it feels like a giant actual RPG instead of an MMO
The Chinese language is harsh and ugly.
>>726390970>playerbase is not tranniesSure is an awful lot of screenshots of female characters posing with an umbrella though...
>>726391036correctit's why even though the translation is abominable, i still keep english voices onchinese just sounds like complete shit to non-speakers
>>726391036i'll have to agree. as much as i dislike american voice actors, they are still preferable to having to hear chinese. disgusting language.
>>726390851Man that quest was a banger. Good boss fight and you can grind the bosses massive hellfire horse nuke for yourself by deflecting his red attacks
>>726377778>chink dev Thought this sounded interesting but alas
>>726382971>most NPCs have something to sayDidn't they use AI for that? Maybe I'm mistaken, but I could have sworn I saw an anon talk about how the NPCs in this game are basically LLM machines.
>>726390970>funny messagesunironically one of my favorite parts of the gamedark souls messages are so much better when you can actually just write and post screenshots instead of playing word salad>>726391079>hurrr tranniesjust because (You) can only self insert doesn't mean everyone else is as braindeadI like tits, you do you
>>726391036>>726391116>>726391129Just get used to it, you'll be hearing it a lot, just put the hours in. Girls sound cute when they speak Chinese, way cuter than the ENG hags. That's the only thing that matters
>>726391210it's a chink dev with infinite budgetthe game is legitimately interesting, it doesn't really play much like an MMO or gachaslop, even though it's both
>>726391324No
>>726391324no thanks. i had an ex from china. being around her family was hell, their language is pig disgusting. i was turned off listening to her speak it.
>>726390929It's a nighmare. It seems to be a running theme in the game that the weird supernatural shit you bump into are usually just hallucinations.The general and his army were sent to hold a city in the north against the invading khitans. He had to sacrifice his own people just to hold the line, expecting reinforcements, but no help came from the army. He was forced to withdraw and tried to later persuade the other generals to renew the war effort in the north against the Khitans, but found no support. He committed coup d'etat and was forced to flee and exile himself into the bodhi sea where he locked himself at the pagoda to atone for his sins and reflect, but his guilt upon losing the city was too great and he died a broken man. Some of his Tiger troops followed him there and likewise are disillusioned and still want to keep fighting a hopeless war.
>>726391276No there's a separate LLM mode for some NPCs, you'll see it when you talk to them. There's like a couple of LLM NPCs per town or so, there's a lot of them but most aren't LLM, most are just normal NPCs
>>726391276there is a friendship system for side/unimportant npcs where you can text chat with them using AI to become friends with themit's neat but they really need to finetune it better because people just bruteforce it
This game is too high budget to be F2P. So what the damn catch?
>>726387652>Everyones prices are the sameOh god i can already see teh /biz/ memes coming
>>726378590>>726391490virtual bragging rights for narcissistic people
>>726391490there is no catchchina has fuck you money and will basically lead the world economy in 10 yearsyou will start seeing a LOT more chinese gamesthe game runs entirely on whales buying overpriced cosmeticsthe chinese version is one year ahead of ours and the devs still haven't started charging for anything or changing the business model
>>726391490People have been asking that since Genshin and the system works like this>poorfags enjoy the game and hype it up>it becomes popular>Saudi prince notices it and spends 2 million on in-game boatsThat's how it works
>>726391552everyone's prices are not in fact the same though. I bought my item at 33 coins and then hopped into a guildmate's world and sold it for 79 earlier
>>726390917No, not everything needs to be an open world action RPG.
>almost level 50>barely explored up to the poison flower village>Ruby still waiting for me somewhereI'm never reaching the capital
>>726387652shit like this is what sold me on the gameyou walk 5 feet off from the main quest and you run into some esoteric weird new systemrandom ass chink game does exploration better than 99% of games out there
Who the fuck is calling this combat good?I cannot play another minute of this jank, 2008 Korean F2P MMO slop.The children have grown too far from the roots of garbage video games, so far that they are eating the recycled vomit of the games industry and liking it.
>>726391652BG3's entire popularity comes from the fact that Act 1 is basically an open world map. Also why people hate acts 2-3
>>726391641ah, so it's going to be animal crossing turnips all over again i see.
>>726391036I like it fine, honestly. Don't get what everyone's issue with it is. Then again, my first language is german, which is also widely perceived as "harsh and ugly".
>>726391660>lv 50 >Ruby is still aliveLucky fuck. Cherish her well anon.
>>726391690can you say what's bad about it shitposter-kun, or are you going to just say some vague shit?I don't even like souls combat and I enjoy the combat in this
>>726391490i think its a natural evolution of the whale system we've been seeing for years. mentally ill faggots spend thousands of dollars on the game, while normal people spend nothing, and a profit is made. the difference here is, the whales spend more, which they are happy to do, while the normal people don't even spend 15 bucks a month on a battlepass or whatever.
I don't get how the meteor step works, I swear at one point in the animation it sends me backwards instead.
>>726391690Never played an MMO or completely delusional? MMO combat is just standing there and spamming cooldown skills. Here you're standing there while spamming cooldown skills AND parrying. That's called a modern action RPG. Know the difference
>>726389414Co op is largely optional and the solo world is different than the multiplayer one. Well, in so much that there's a lot of things you can't do in multiplayer mode that you can do in single player. Co-op mode is different than multiplayer mode. Yeah, I know. None of this is explained well in game and the menus are fucked. Multiplayer boss farming is okay, and interestingly the bosses use different mechanics. Feels more wowish.
>>726391814My dude been camping every thread since launch. Which I don’t get.We’re currently in a massive souls drought right now and this scratches the sekiro itch hard.
>>726391690What's the origin of this webm
>>726391869>not jumping around like a spastic monkey and doing air dashes, or using a mixture of parries, blocks and dodgesshitter or just not playing on legend mode?
>>726391929>movingDPS loss. I am a monolith. Come at me junior and feel the wrath of my parry
jade or not?also, im so fucking bad at talking to the npc ai chatbots lmao, every single time i've tried they've ended up looping, i have no fucking clue what the game expects me to say
>>726391868Hold jump to initiate the animation, then you press spacebar to propel you forward depending where you're pointing your mouse. If your destination is around 300m, you only need to press spacebar maybe once. But if it's a kilometer away or so, press spacebar 3 times to travel even further.
>>726392052right eye looks kinda retarded
i been stuck on this bitch for over 2 hours
>affection 0/100how do i boost this thing?
>>726391845this is how it always was.this entire system was first popularized in asia by shit like the perfect world games and silk road, in which hoards of third world trash did perpetual, monotonous digital labor while staring at big retards with $40000 Fairy Wings that have so many particle effects that they crash the poor children's pcsthey just added limits to the gambling because some retarded japanese monkey spent 7k trying to get a Granblue Fantasy char and didnt
>>726392052You just have to close the deal with AI. You convince them that your idea is good and then you insist that they actually say that it's good, and then AI counts that as a win
>>726392087does it? she's symmetrical, i didn't edit them individually
>>726392097So was I. I'm sorry to say but she's one of the easy ones. One nibba in the first region has THREE stages
>>726392128talk to them or do their minigame
>>726392207Eyes look kinda weird to me but you do you
>>726392150no its an evolution. the whales in this are more insane than most, probably because they're asian. usually, as a normal person, you would be gatekept much harder than you are in this game. but you have to spend literally 0 dollars. like i said, the usual thing is, normal people have to spend at least 15 bucks for every month they play or they get screwed. rather than that, whales are getting milked even harder than usual.
>>726392150rip Atlantica Onlinesome vietnamese bitch showed me her titties and told me i was bigger than her dad and brothers when i was 13 because i gave her my retarded looking cat mount
>try PvP because I need it for one of the Warrior's Journey objectives>get matched with someone with a Korean name>spend the first 10 seconds kind of feeling each other out>finally go into attack>get hit once>get stunlocked to death like literally can't do a single thing and just fucking die>prompt stayed on screen while being combo'd which I assume was a burst or combo breaker or something but no matter how many times I pressed it it did nothing so I don't know if the netcode just fucked up or whatI don't think I'll be engaging with this very much. I did do another match after where I got matched with some that was actually a beginner as well and it was kind of fun, but still really jank because of the latency.
>>726392408Fuck I remember that game. I beelined to unlock Joan of Arc asap.
>>726392531>one of the Warrior's Journey objectives is 5v5 pvp>there is no 5v5 pvphuh
>>726392531General consensus so far is pvp is really bad because of latency. It really is just the first guy who gets to combo the other guy.
How do I join the poison sect? They sound cool.
>>7263927759 Mortal Ways?
>>726392386No, you don't really have to spend any money in Genshin or Wuwa either. Matter of fact both are extremely easy, I have no idea how much easier they could possibly be if you spent money on them.
>>726393074Think it's Hollow Vale. 9 mortals are the tricksters iirc.
>haha learning tai chi from a bear and then finding treasure by throwing him into pile of rocks what silly and fun concept>every subsequent time i come across a bear there's a pile of rocks with some crumbs of treasureIt's how i feel about the game in general really. It has a lot of concepts that make you go 'wow it's cool that you can do that' but they are all so extremely surface level every time.
>>726393349>tfw killed a bear and didn't notice the pile of rocks nearbyBears exist to be thrown
>>726392097Are you on legend? Her red attack on second phase is easy to deflect. Her "third" phase is annoying, but try to maintain distance and dodge. She took around an hour for me to get past. You can tougher while on lvl cap too, by unlocking stats/skills via oddities or getting specific scrolls that augment your main weapon, like repeating skills on strategic sword and so on.
>>726393507yea on legend. i guess i just needed a good rest but i got that bitch now
How do I beat this fucking Tian Ying?!
>>726392531There's a skill that sorta stun-breaks you that is mandatory in pvp, but yeah so far its laggy. I hope due to so many people playing and servers being fucked as a consequence because I cant imagine how 30v30 guild battle will feel like.
>>726391895what weapon should I use to be Sekiro in this game? I know for sure this doesn't have katana
>>726393349You can also use use taichi to fish, clear leaves in certain puzzles, disarm enemies with shields and generally just bully human enemies by throwing them off a cliff or tossing them around. It's the game's fus roh dah.
>>726378590lmao off yourselves jade beauties

>go to hometown>along the way, "out of vegi mix, can't heal out of combat anymore">okay, guess i'll buy some vegis at home. i have all these coins i looted from the bandits>go to shop>you have 300 coins, a meal costs 15what the hell, how many currencies are there? there's the coins, the jade coins, and now there's commerce coins, which look like coins but cut in half. and apparently, there's also fish currency in my money bag. I have over two thousand fish.anyway, what should i about heals. i cooked two vegi mix but i doubt that will last me. is there somewhere i can buy a hundred vegi mix with regional currency?
>>726393678There a parry blade that gonna get released in the next 6 months.
where the hell are the 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5 arenas? All I see is 1v1
>>726393848Realistically only echo jade and the jade fish are valuable.>echo jade for horse inner and its upgrades. Also 3 gachas rolls per week.>jade fishies is to progress your character and professions. That pretty much it.
>>726393848jade coins are gacha currency and fish coins are for the weekly shopcommerce coins are for some of the in-game shops, I only found a fewmost of the stuff in the world is just normal coins
>>726393848Food you make btw cant be used in battle but theh instantly heal out of combat depending on what hp threshold you set them in. Ingredients are often just farmed in the wild or bought from the trader with common gold coins. Commerce coins is special trade currency used and earned from other side activities. Jade fish is currency you get from playing the game and completing objectives and quests. You can spend them in the season shop. Its extremely confusing at first but you'll familiriaze them in time.
>>726393609haven't beaten the fucker, is he Arlecchino from lies of p tier?
>Tian Yin has three phasesOh hell no
>>726377778How does the game play on gamepad? I'm not liking the keyboard controls in the slightest.
If you think this "MMO" looks mobile, wait till you try another asian mmorpg called AION 2.
Did you guys got all the twitch drop rewards? Only got the first one delivered for some reason.
Some guy on steam mentioned the expected future updates based on what china has right now. 1. WWM (China) Vanilla Version -- launched on 27/Dec/2024, It contains the first 2 maps, which are "Qing He" (meaning: Clear River) and "Kai Feng" (meaning: The Unsealed City). This is exactly what the global version has gotten now.2. "He Xi" (meaning: West of River) -- launched on 28/Mar/2025. Area of the broken Great Walls and dry desert. Story about war refugees.3. "Liang Zhou" (meaning: State of Cold) -- launched on 30/May/2025. Snowy cold area, the lost capital of the ex Tang Dynasty. Story about military heroes, politics and romance drama.4. "Qin Chuan" (meaning: Plain of Qin) -- launched on 29/Aug/2025. Grass plains and rivers. Story about cross-battle between different sects and the legendary treasure.5. "Bu Jian Shan" (meaning: The Unseen Mountains) -- launched on 26/Sep/2025. Mountains and cliffs. Story about finding the hidden city of the rumored engineering/puppet-master sect.*Each expansion map is around the same size of "Qing He" or "Kai Feng".*New weapon "Heng Blade" (similar to Katana) and 2 new weapon skills were added on 25/Jul/2025.*New weapon "Hand Plates" (unarmed weapon) and 2 new weapon skills were added on 21/Nov/2025.I do wonder if we'll get sped up catch up events to synchronize with the CN update cycle or we'll remain behind forever.
>>726394296it's literally a souls game, it's meant for controller
>>726394296I tried controller but it felt kinda weird to me, i dunno why. I'm using kb+m now but i changed some commands like right mouse click being heavy attack instead of R.
>>726392052Ai usually says something like a bandit stole my stuff. Just tell them you killed the bandits and here's you're stuff back. I usually ask to be their friends at this point and they say okay. It's more annoying then anything else and I skip a lot of them. Gaslighting the AI bots is pretty funny though.
>>726377778how is the combatwhere does it fall on the scale from dark souls, wuchang, wukong, khazani've been too caught up in having fun in arc raiders i haven't touched where winds meet but will probably give it a go this weekend
>>726394483Do we have a video on the hand plate moveset?
>>726386779>the gaming press is biased against Chinese gamesmost westerners are biased against chinese anythingonly recently did they finally start waking up a little to notice the american propaganda
>>726394176>>726394056what should i spend the jade oncan i just ignore it
>>726394296Some weird mappings. Some menus are obviously designed for mouse. In game controls feel fine though, like say Nioh.
>>726394924there is no stamina, you can attack as much as you want but bosses have hyper armor of course. There's a lot of parrying and it seems the intended way to fight bosses at least.
>>726391367>it's a chink dev with infinite budgetits not. Its rather low budget as far gacha goes. Only 300 devs and might up it to 500 someday.Genshig and Wuthering waves number stuff in thousands.
>>726392052I talked to Bodhi the Six-Cat Monk and just said "Cats!" at him.Eventually he stopped looping "indeed, cats. And how do you feel that has enriched your journey" then pondered and became an old friend.
>>726395110>its rather low budget as far gacha goesWTF
>>726395075best to save 24k for a limited banner event, apparently there will eventually be an even where the limited banner uses standard jadesother than that buy shit from the shop in the second region close to the city, it sells talents or whatever they're called
>>726395207Same guy who posted this >>726394483Also said this one. Take with a grain of salt since he offered no sources- WWM's market performance in China --Where Winds Meet (PC version) was launched in China on 27/Dec/2024, mobile version on 09/Jan/2025. There is no console version in China.Total development budget for WWM is around USD84 millions, development time is around 6 years, studio is Everstone (owned by Netease).Total number of registered players for WWM-China has reached over 40 millions, around 60% from PC platform, and 40% from mobile platform.Goldman Sachs (China) "estimated" (Netease doesn't open the actual figures) WWM-China has generated around USD590 millions of revenue for Netease in the first 12 months.Netease has announced WWM-China is now the 2nd most profitable product for Netease. Up until now, WWM-China still carrying the same monetary system since launched, no pay-to-win as promised.
>>726394483>*Each expansion map is around the same size of "Qing He" or "Kai Feng".what in the fuck, that's more content than genshin released at its peak
does this game have crafting?
>No reason to play for three days>Sect isn't even in the game yetback to WoW i guess
>>726395094Mind you there is still vitality. You need vitality to perform mystic arts and heavy attacks.
>>726395045Best I could find.
>>726395604Uhh bro, you aren’t picking your flowers for pots?Takes like 30 minutes to do the loop in kaifang.
>>726395669For poison powder?
>>726377778I gave the game a try and the visuals and world are awesome however the voices are bad and inconsistent, shit to do is littered everywhere, confusing menus and most importantly the combat felt lame and slow and unresponsive... what a dissapointment.
>>726395735>the combat felt lame and slow and unresponsiveTurn v-sync off
>>726395235what do you gacha roll for anywayi was told it's only cosmetics
>>726395718Yin-Yang pots.
>>726395913Just cosmetics but maybe the next gacha has cosmetics that you like. The current gacha just really ugly outfits.
>>726377778Greatest game of all times.
I'm being filtered by Tian Ying
how old is she
My niggah is still playing this game besides hating on live-service games. The chinese really cooked this time.
>>726393794This helped, thanks.
is there a way to rebind guqin keybinds? the default one sucks ass
>>726396282>>>/vt/
>>726395506Yeah, in a rudimentary form.Bows & Arrows (chances to forge higher tier bows)Food (out-of-combat auto-heals, and long term attribute buffs)Medicine (in-combat heals)Talismans (conditional buffs to abilities for combat)Furniture (making random clutter for the building placement mode)Doesn't look like any crafting for other types of gear like weapons and armor; you're incentivized to get them through loot.
>>726385202This is some "7/10: too much water" kind of complaint. Like if I picked up RDR2 and complained that everything is too much like a western.
i hope gachaslop makers are paying attentionit's really not that hard to make the gameplay funjust make it so you're not just pressing one button over and over
>>726385202>i hate the chinese theme>plays extremely chinese game>wtf why did I hate this so fasthonestly, the stupidity of some of you will never cease to amazeit's like me saying 'boy i sure do fucking hate driving games' and then going off to play Grand Turismo.>genshinThen go back to Genshin and enjoy mashing one button for another 1000 hours while watching the most generic story ever told.
>>726396212At this point I'm not sure she's not an 80 year old in disguise
I wanted to play ranged dps but umbrella feels really unsatisfying. It also looks like rope dart is locked behind a sect and I'm not sure how to find it.That's unfortunate.
>>726396990Why do you shills get so offended when anyone tries to criticize your games. Buy an ad.
>>726396990not the person youre responding to but this game actually did make me reinstall wuthering waves, this game made me appreciate it more mechanically
>>726377778>f2pWhat's the catch? other then the chinks selling my data.
>>726397152you pay with your time
>>726397136>WuwaEnjoy playing a shit game that routinely loses out to mihoyo games in revenue I guess?
>>726396824>just make it so you're not just pressing one button over and overI mean this isn't that different from Wuwa combat to be honest. Just a lot less forgiving and the parry is a separate button
>>726397223thanks enjoy a game nobody will mention in 2 weeks
>>726396162Tian Ying BEATEN! 5% hp left, no pots, heart still beating.
>>726391490The first part is that China is investing heavily into their gaming industry in order to broaden their international PR, so games like this are a sort of freebie to get their foot in the door. The second part is that there's a purely aesthetic costume gacha where you can dump thousands of dollars if you're either retarded or a gambling addict.
>>726397131Why do you haters get so triggered when someone responds to your criticism?
>wuwa this hoyo thatshut up you gacha subhuman dorks
>>726397128No weapon is locked, just pick it in the gear menu and track where to get it. There is a stealth mission to "steal" the weapon from the sect leader
>>726397131Nta but it's a really stupid way to criticize a game beyond being simple rage bait, nevermind using an aqua image which is often associated with stupid posts because aqua is a dumb bitch.It's like going into an elden ring thread and complaining that you don't like the core gameplay despite people already knowing full well it's a souls game, going into a silksong song thread saying you don't like metroidvanias and ranting about it.
>>726397324this is a gacha too retard>but it's cosmetics onlya cosmetics only what
>>726397398Cosmetics only gacha that the game doesnt even bother giving you a tutorial on how to do it. They also buried it in 2 different currencies to make things even more confusing.
>>726395817I did. It's not the vsync.
THE LAND IS CLOAKED IN DEEPEST BLUE.
>>726397131no one's offended, I'm just calling you a retardyou're saying you hate something, then going to play EXACTLY that something, and then bitching about ityou are retarded
>>726397136never played it, but i'm 99% sure my assumption that it's just like every other gacha game where you just dodge and mash one button over and over is correct
>>726397152it's extremely, EXTREMELY chinese and poorly translatedotherwise, there is no catch>>726397228sure, if you ignore all the movement, the tons of different abilities you can use
>>726397398it doesn't play like a gacha and that's all i care aboutyou enjoy your slop, though
>>726397847This game has quenched my thirst for sekiro 2.0. It about damn fucking time.
I think whats missing in this game is using jumping in combat. I think I only ever use the jump kick mystic art to close distance but never jumping to use into attacks or avoid damage
>>726398014You need the jump mystic to enter buddha palm. There specific mydtic art combos you can do.
>>726397980Just look it up on video. https://youtube.com/shorts/XCwf-x8oy_8?si=MuNL1wgndB0SRsKq
>>726390346play the unleashed version
>like one of the basic hairs from the character creator>can't dye it>even if you could dye it, you would need 10 hair dyes>you only get them from gacha shop with tokens you only get after dozens of pulls>you only get 5 dyes per 1 token, which means you need to pull the token twice just for one hair color changeWhat the hell is wrong with these devs?I've never seen character customization be this stingy
Game is fun so far and I want to support the dev. Is there any good outfits in the future other than those chink styles?
>>726392228>One nibba in the first region has THREE stages
>>726398141Lubu outfit is coming out soon.
can i rp as john sekiro in this game??
Kaifeng city oozes so much soul, how is this free, there must be a catch man
>>726397847>it's extremely, EXTREMELY ChineseHow much dialog is there? is it reasonable or is it walls of text? I know the Chinese fucking love stupid high word count.
>>726398104i'm fine with cosmetics being heavily paywalled as long as it's only cosmetics.if you wanna play barbie for free just mod skyrim idk
>>726398538You can just take a screenshot closeup of his face and import him into the game.Not sure how well it'll work though.
>>726398764Extremely short compared to gachas actually, but it does have a lot of cutscenes, which is why people liken it to an assassins creed or ghost of tsushima game.
>>726378590What's the point of the boat even?
>>726399063Sex orgies at sea.
>>726378186they arent doing the map, they are just rushing main story like a cuck
>>726395610Pitty we won't have it for awhile. Looks cool.
>>726399063It is a rich people thing. You will know once you have one
>>726399063To flex, and to pay for the game for the rest of us dolphins/shrimps.
fuck im struggling with world 5 mobs. keep ganking me
>>726398896I mean not necessarily as him, but just as a middle aged samurai dude or i'm pretty much forced to be a twink prince of ching chong dynasty?
>>726377778It''s actually pretty good. I'm traveling Eastern Europe for a change of scenery after being in SEA for about 2 years. It's cold here and it sucks.I can't wait to go back :(I'll be heading to Hong Kong around next year. Heading back to Laos to enjoy the heat, slow living, a bit of the good stuff, and a beer Laos or two.
>>726398550All of the lewd conversations you have with the jade beauty chatbots are recorded and will be used against you by Chinese agents.
>>726396212I assumed it was a Nioh 2 situation where they said "fuck it make her hot even though she should be 40+"
>>726399697IIRC there are some rugged options, the game's character creator is very good, so if you want to RP as a Jomon chad or a chiseled square-jawed master it should be possible.
>>726395048I don't think so. It's more just recently that China has started importing things that are actually competetive.
too much wordslop, pass
>>726395506You can build homes, if that's what you're into. From what I understand you can even build anywhere in the open world. In solo mode at least.
>>726377778STILL NO NEW CHARACTER OPTIONFUCK THIS SHIT
how do i revive ppl in coop?
>take big bonk stick as first martial art>uncover some sort of, free martial art ability during the main quest (under the clinic)should i take the healing fan here? i want to do it but anon said it's possible to get that for free. i don't regret taking the big stick as my first art, the charge attack is crazy strong.having a fan as the offhand for heals could be pretty solid.but is this an opportunity to get a rare strong martial art i wouldn't otherwise be able to get?anons please advise
>>726400601you can change your appearance in the game, just do thatgender change costs money though
If you save a merchant from a wolf and he gives you a martial arts book, DO NOT READ IT, YOUNG MASTERS. Your qi will go berserk and you will get sick.
>>726400702The game starts feeding you pots like crazy after another 2-3 bosses. Pick what you like.
>>726400702you pick your weapon after this during a boss that you have to beat with it
>>726394296Best option is play with a controller but have a keyboard nearby for menu navigation and AI Chat
>>726400702I believe you can get all of them eventualy
>>726400820i wish you could keep the hair you get from doing that
>>726377778>omg i love the dick of the ccp so much please mr chang cum in my mouththis is you
>>726386779>very similar way to how it was biased against Japanese games in the early 10sBecause Japanese games were dogshit during those days and never recoveredMeanwhile China is already good and profits show that
>>726401130how did you get my in-game chatbot texts
>>726386584Zogdogs need to believe china is weak and losing, otherwise they can't cope with reality and they end up ACK-ing themselves.
>>726399169The story is just kinda short. A lot of high quality quests are optional here, and they still have CGI and bosses. Main quest itself isn't long, if you focus on it you'll beat it in like 10-15 hours (plus timegates)
Young Master or Jade Beauty?
is there romance?
>>726401598Do you want men to hit on you when you go online?
>>726400727I made a woman cause I wanted to see how how they areTHERE WAS NO FUCKING WARNING THAT I CANT BE A DUDE ANYMOREFUCK THIS SHIT HOW CAN YOU MAKE A GAME WITH ONE FUCKING CHARACTER
>>726380335But is it chink mahjong or riichi mahjong?
>>726401667only between players, there's marriage and all that shit. apparently NPC romance is planned though
mfw i was reading about the martial arts when the bossfight started>>726401667only with other player characters.you can pick up npcs and put them in your player house, i guess.>>726401245truth
>>726401201No, because during those days a bunch of asshole dudebros whose first console was an XBox 360 flooded the greater gaming community who treated all games outside their range of macho military shooters as being for fags, especially so everything that looked " anime" to them. And everyone just took for granted that that's just the core audience now.Japan has produced some of if the greatest games of all time and still does. I hope China will too
>>726401736The biggest joke about this is women playing men are the ones doing the harassment to live out their "victimized by handsome billionaire/high noble" fantasies. LMFAOThe toxic Wuxia/Xianxia fujos flicked to this game right from their book circles.
>>726386665I had to. My OS is on an HDD and for some reason the game is doing something TAXING on the system drive despite being on an SSD, so now and then the game becomes genuinely fucking unplayable with freezes lasting between 2 and 15 seconds.
>>726398841this, I like customization as much as the average joe but I'd gladly forego all of it if it means that dumbasses and coomers are gonna essentially pay for my copy of the game
>>726378230>battlepassfucking dropped, this might not be p2w but it will sure as shit be p2progress
Is the kinda game where it pretends to be a real game until you're logging to spend stamina and do weeklies and dailies?
>>726377778It's not, because I'm not playing retextured genshin.
>>726392052The only one I've had issues with so far is the grumpy cunt looking for the treasure at the General's Shrine>Tell him you know where it is>He gets mad>Lead him to the treasure>He attacks you>Tell him it doesn't exist>He attacks you>Tell him someone else already took it>He attacks youThat, and I think they disabled chatting with the fuck you duel in the prologue. Now he only has a duel prompt.
is the battle pass worth it?
>>726401984nah the young masters tend to be at the peak of the first stage of the realm. and their grandpas are always talkin about how "i wish they just would just apply themselves harder" right before they find out the mc killed em
>>726401667Yes, with meLeave your ID here
>find cover, stay away from the center!>invisible walls everywherewhat the fuck
>>726402589Only if you like the outfit.
>>726402554Can NPCs really attack you if you talk shit to them in the chat?
>>726398014You need to jump to avoid some attacks. The fan has an aerial combo.
>>726400702You can learn all of them. You just have to skill thief the ones you don't pick.
>>726402710Hide behind the tombstones, junior.
>>726402942yeah I've seen some webms
>>726402942yeah lol
>>726402347The only stamina thing is doing boss runs for loot, everything else you can do as much as you want.There are no daily tasks; only weeklies if you're in a Guild, and those give you guild-related coins for leisure stuff, not any gameplay resources. If you aren't going to do any social guild stuff, then there are no forced incentives to log in regularly.
>>726402710i was able to win, somehow.i used the fans. why the fuck does the healing fan do more damage than the huge fuck you sword while also providing heals and firing homing beams from the other side of the arena>>726403269thank you senior, the jianghu is mysterious and wide
>>726403543Mo Blade is a defensive weapon.
>put a market on map>sound voice message of someone calling for Alan play overUh... what
>>726403658I thought they banned the voice message thing after the meow meow incidentThere was some kind of a hack that allowed to leave and auto-play audio in messages
what the hell is this, i just beat this boss.you can challenge it again for extra loot? but there's some sort of... energy you need? and i already have 60 of it?this game is fucking confusing sometimes
>>726403748>meow meow incidentquick rundown?
>>726403943Yeah not worth it though, just do the online bosses for better loot.
>>726403943that's your timegate currency that regens as you goand yes, you can farm bosses for loot
>there are begging spots and people online are begging in order to get sec points
>>726403998what do you recommend?this is the first time i've seen this thing. i might as well spend the energy if it's going to recharge in a few hours. i don't exactly want to rush the story missions but there so much locked behind them that i can't even really leisurely explore right now.>>726403591it doesn't feel like it. maybe i got it wrong, but i felt like the fan could animation cancel into a block much easier, and the damage i took seemed to be about the same.sure it has the bubble, and the bubble is good, but an extra 10% health vs restoring half or more seems uneven. right now the fan feels much better defensively for me.
>do side-quests>a fucking brit left a voice message somewhere saying "oh mah fahken gaawd"Is there any way to disable those?
>thought the combat was fucking terrible>actually it was just the tank weapons being boring as shit, all the 1h swords and the dual blades are fun as hellChanging weapons brought this game from a 7/10 to a 9/10. And a note to new players: Don't use the Stormbreaker Spear, it's a boring zero damage piece of shit.
>>726404761Honestly, just use the energy for whatever you feel like just do not complete deplete it. The rewards prior to reaching the max gear lvl which is 71 I think do not matter anyways. So just do 1 or 2 to get some gear and a get a feeling for the online bosses.
Bros.........
>>726404917I think the stone breaker spear is just for taunting then tanks switch to the polearm and spam charge attacks.
>>726404917For me it was the strategic sword + sword horizon inner way scroll. The combat just clicked then
>>726403951A whole lot of people reported hearing this shit in the first couple of dayshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9fhuW5y5_k
>>726403998Incorrect, those ones let you target your specific gear set.
>>726404860I don't think you're supposed to hear those, I think that's a hack or a bug. I never heard one in 50 hours
>>726400645Healslut fan's 'e' attack will revive people. Not sure if there are other options.
>>726404917But I like the Stormbreaker...
>>726405464is that song popular?I heard it in a deadlock video around when that was released and it was catchy at 2x speed but I wouldn't call it good
When you're playing instruments, is there a way to disable the sound effect that plays when you hit the correct note?I'm trying to listen to the music, man.
>>726400820The random close up and physical changes to my character caught me off guard. Having my meridians shattered because of a book has never been this interesting.
is this shit for reali can't progress my level in the game until i wait 24 hours?the fuck
why are my eyes red, why does it look like my mc is hung over whenever there's an idle animation
there's a really fucking nice amount of detail and customization, really impressive so far and I literally haven't done anything yet lol
>>726407473This shit is so real it becomes 2 days at lvl 40 and then FOUR days at lvl 50 which is where everyone is stuck now
>>726407596Check the top left of the screen.
>>726407596you were not ready for the lovecraftian knowledge you attempted to open your mind to, junior
>>726399994you've never tried talking about gacha games on this board thenthe amount of schizophrenic spammers you'd deal with that hate china is only out numbered by anti-india posts
Anyone that played the story, is the MC actually cool?
>>726402347Basically. That said, I maxed battle pass points shit and reached the weekly currency already. It's pretty easy to do.
>>726407981shit, what now
This game cost $100 million… GTA cost $2 billion. Someone make sense of this shit.
>>726408653this game is out and you can play it.gta could end up a duke nukem forever for all we know
>>726408530Account brick seek npc or player doctor
>>726408374He's a bit of a dork, but I'm still at Chapter 1
>>726408374Yeah he gets more confident and assertive.
>>726408374I just finished the first chapter and he got cooler by the end and he goes through something that should presumably be a major character development moment, but I haven't started chapter 2 yet so I don't know how it pans out.
>>726408374he's decent. still growing up so he's sometimes naive, but he has confidence when it matters. blushes around beauties but doesn't drop spaghetti.
you guys have a guild?
>>726408374Bit of a goofball manchild but 1000 times better than your usual chinkslop gacha protag
>>726408530Find a healslut. Go to the multiplayer spots and ask or find the menu that lisits suggested docs. Most players will jump on your dick for the chance for an easy heal. Just make sure to thank them when they're done. Or just pay the NPC at the clinic. She's the one who lets you carry more medicine so you'll want to talk to her at some point anyways.
>>726409381joined a streamers guild and its extremely active and fun since there was no official v guild aroundimo even if the game is solo oriented the online activities are fun as fuck with other guildies
>>726378590>its yet another thirsty virgin weeb with a female characterfriendly reminder that if you play a female character in a wushu game, you are literally missing the entire point of the genrewomen are not fighters, warriors, or kung fu backflipping whatevers. they never were. women are for men to fight over and thereby be a driving factor for cultivating in the first place to beat the other competitor male
>>726403483the fuck? there's half a dozen daily checkin lists. it's not cosmetic stuff either, things like skill books needed for martial arts
>find sick goose>commit medical malpractice on it because I am not a doctor>demon goose manifests and attacks the sick goose>flee in terror since the last angry goose I met murdered me>later talking to some scammer nigga>demon goose executes me while I'm stuck in dialoghate geese
>>726408374Of course the MC is cool, he's literally me
>>726408814fuck. well, at least i'm not that far. just need to reset my account, then
>>726408530walk it off junior
Reminder that by playing this game you are>supporting a government that harvests organs from their prisoners while they are still aliveI shan’t play chinkshit propaganda slopI shan’t play chinkshit propaganda slopI shan’t play chinkshit propaganda slop
>>726410345american games have plenty of propaganda on their own. don't larp like this is unique to chinkslop. have you played RDR2?
>>726409958A bit upstream you can find a geese raping a bear and you can learn a skill from watchingThe weak fear the strong
>>726410345But enough about Israel
>>726410454>>726410569muh whataboutism
>>726378197>>726410454his post is kinda retarded, but he's not talking about propaganda. He's talking about supporting a government that almost certainly conducts absolutely horrific, anti-human activities and that has a hand directly in every nationally hq'd private company, meaning by supporting a cn based game, you are also.presumably indirectly supporting said state. It's all kind of retarded thiking but at least get the point right
Someone already harrassing LGBTQ players by putting bounties on them to be hunted by CHUDs.Do not support this game.
I'm scared to commit to a sect
>>726410731>If you call out my hypocrisy you're commiting a logical fallacy.
>>726409958why are the geese so powerful theredid they cultivate?
>>726410920and you think american game ompanies don't pay taxes? is there even a nation on earth that isn't involved in some horrific shit, be it the community relations service in the usa or whatever is going on in china, this kind of logic means you are guilty if you do anything at all.i was responding to the bit about propaganda because the first bit is nonsensical in the first place
>>726410345>by playing a free game you are (insert politics here)take your meds, retardthe funniest part is that you have a lot more to fear from your own government than you do ChinaChina does not give a flying fuck about you

>>726411418They care enough to monitor everything you do in game. (If they don’t care about your data, WHY are they putting resources into harvesting ALL of it? You think holding onto your data, which they do, is FREE? Data centers cost money.) “but America does it too, reee.” Nice whataboutism retards. It’s not acceptable either, but people will still give their data without any fight cause you mofos have no impulse control. At least make it difficult for them and don’t download games with kernel level access!
