Thanks to Troika and BERGfu for showing me the ropes of cart hijacking. I got 3 levels out of 15 minutes worth of "work", and most of that was because I hadn't discovered the high level zones initially so I had to ride there the first time. To anyone doing kidnapping quests at a low level: Beware those freebie treasure chests. I've never gotten anything great from them (some food, occasionally some XP), but there's a somewhat common chance they spawn two guys on top of you who will MURDER THE poo poo OUT OF YOU if you don't dodge away from their LOS the second they spawn.

They also disable your skills, you do however have enough time to actually run away out of their fov.

As long as you can survive a hit form the guards, I'm pretty sure you can just run through, kidnap the guy and turn the quest in before the guards catch up to you and beat you to death.

The servers reset right after the maintenance, resetting the time to 8 AM as well. Events will occur approximately five hours before they should, so plan accordingly until this gets fixed!

It's not a sand box by any measure but there's plenty of room for shenanigans. TomSTAR posted:Anyone getting a "Map currently unavailable, move to a birth location?" at the character select screen?

The PvP combat in this game is awesome and insanely difficult (to master), which to me is the main appeal. I't pretty much on-rails and PvP free until a certain point, but new activities start showing up gradually. Some are PvE, some are PvP, some are PvE but incentive PvP. If Wushu was 50% sandbox, this is 25% sandbox. It has many, many features you would typically never see on a western theme park MMOG. P.S.: It's amazing how watchable the PvP in this game is. I've had such an incredible amount of fun spectating, commenting on and fighting in arena matches with goons. The King of Fighters mode is the loving best.

Claymore's servers are going to poo poo right now; Most zones have crashed, so if you were in one of them when it happened, you can't play at the moment. Luo Yang is fine, as are instances, and like 4 arena rooms. What I'm saying is this is affecting everyone that plays on Claymore and it should be fixed soon.

My guess is you were probably in a different realm than the working one. However treizebee said he was in the tactics 1 arena and that's where my Shaolin was as well, but he can log into his character and last I checked, I couldn't. Either way there's like a hundred posts about it in the official forums. Edit: They fixed the arenas at least, so that's why treizebee was able to login. It works for me now too.

No, I logged out, came back and saw that I could not access my character- I logged out in Mount Shaolin. I'm thinking it affects characters that were in an open world map. Seems like characters in an instance ( e.g Luo Yang, HP, arenas, etc) aren't affected.

Honestly, watching some of the Taiwan PvP tournaments is absolutely insane, especially their animation cancels. Makes it almost seem like street fighter. There was an Infinity video I was watching that was animation cancelling counters into other counters.

So Mastery / Guild Boon info. Guild boons are accessed by hitting i and hitting guild bonus in the top right. You can respec them but to lock a stat you need one of the purple chests from our events and do a 3+ man event. Guild boons gain the most if you just have base stats, so willpower, strength, reflex, tenacity, or constitution. Masterys. To access masterys, get to 40 and find the button on your character sheet between your stat points. To level anything up you need mastery points. These come from mastery levels. To increase that you click the arrow in the top right of the mastery page and this spends kungfu points. TLDR put 15 in everything and click on the dancing guys. If you can read and stand it, look at the general nodes. Your Basic nodes are poo poo and your school nodes are nice but expensive. General nodes cost very little to upgrade and give you more than basic nodes. You only want to get the ones that you will use which is most of them. They give you the advanced stats like evasion or exo-attack and point by point is more than just getting more willpower or strength. The "Hide Inactive Nodes" doesn't work. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NGST1R1nnU0YfH7TOuYPJex8c895OaicovoJuVwBkLs/edit Third World Reagan fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Jul 11, 2014 |

Do not put 15 in everything at first. Look at the nodes that you want that require 2 stats at 15. Get 15 of those 2 stats then get and max the node. Move through the mastery tree this way.

Mr.Fuzzywig posted:Just hit twenty, was a wudang in the last game so i thought i would try out shaolin. How does the arhat fist form compare to the other two styles? I would love to just punch people. I wanted to answer this earlier but forgot. I personally believe it's not viable to do a pure punching build, especially in PvP. Expiation has several amazing attacks that are crucial to the Shaolin play style. Namely Staff Thrust, Typhoon, Tiger Stomp and Tiger Leap. Not all of them are necessary, mind you, but I can't imagine any Shaolin build that skips Expiation completely. The other issue is how Arhat Fist is designed. It's mostly low cooldown attacks with weak secondary effects. A charge in Expiation knockdowns or roots, a charge in Arhat Fist just slows. Combined with the short (nothing likw Wu-Tang) animation in switching from staff to fist, most of these skills are probably not worth using in PvP. There's still some great PvP skills in the set, but not enough to make a staff-free custom set. Arhat Fist is awesome in PvE, though. Low cooldown, powerful attacks, most of which come with a movement component (Shaolin has 8 charges!). It's insane how good my Shaolin is at botting with Arhat Fist; I do more damage than my Harmony or Splendor ever did (due to the aforementioned cooldowns) but have twice the defensive stats and a heal that restores a fourth of my health. You still want to use Typhoon and probably Tiger Stomp, but you will be mostly punching or kicking your way through mobs.

Every time i think i have found the school i will finally play someone post something good about another one. I managed to get a S&M to 42 and those firewheel are fantastic but now i hear Arhat fist is PVE goodness incarnate. Thank you third world reggin for the mastery Info.

Third World Reggin posted:Guild boons gain the most if you just have base stats, so willpower, strength, reflex, tenacity, or constitution. Equipment seems to use similar stat budgets as guild boons do, so the same applies here: you primarily want base stats over anything else for your gear, the difference in stat value is sizable. +Health might be the one exception that can be situationally comparable to CON efficiency, but at least for Wutang, 32 health per constitution, CON rolls with something like 10% more health than flat +health does. And you get the chi on top.

As a Harmony I get 26 HP per point of CON, so in terms of HP, the two stats (flat HP versus CON) are nearly the same. CON still has that Chi bonus, which granted isn't particularly useful, but still something. Also, 1 STR = 8.3 Exo attack. With my Shaolin, this value is 7.6. And 1 STR = 2.25 critical. This value is under 1 for my Shaolin. Which explains why my Harmony has over twice as much critical, despite worse gear (but lots of STR).

Using these numbers with three stat rolls you might get in a piece of level 50 hero's order gear: 44STR 365 exo attack 99 crit OR 52 crit OR 270 exo attack ... so base stats own basically. e: oh woops, one of those numbers is for Shaolin and the other Harmony. Fixed for 8.3/2.25 of Harmony. Ihki fucked around with this message at 04:44 on Jul 12, 2014 |

So we got a late night crew that has been doing fight clubs. 2000 tends to be our guild events. After that people run bamboo if they need it or hijacks. Also world without thieves. People also do dungeons in this period. When someone gets bored enough normally 2130ish, they make a fight club and we do 1v1s, 3v3s, or king of fighters 3v3 where if you win you keep going. Most guilds do not do this and you can invite who ever you want. It can also help you get your daily arena poo poo done for KFPs.

Also, arenas are probably the best way of getting scrolls or whatever those things are called that upgrade your skills. Even if you don't win, the dailies give a decent amount of coins.

We've got 8 at the moment none of whom have a referral or post in this thread, although one has the bio 'hitler did nothing wrong' and one is from that guild we slaughtered last night. \/ Got 9 spots free so unless I see them get a referral or post in here I'll reject them later today.
