That Jerk Steve: Oct 18, 2011

I'm pretty sure I'll be rolling with Zephyr to start out. Can't wait to fight some chinamen with my magic ice-making GBS threads fan dude.
Just wish that early access wasn't so late in the drat day :negative:

Misbiopy: Jun 13, 2010

I'm probably going to be like 30 minutes late for the start of early access and it's bugging me, even though it shouldn't and that doesn't matter. I'm pretty much decided on starting a Wu-Tang first but I might start another character after I get my main to 50. Do we have six people who are going to be in on early access early on? Or more than that, twelve maybe? Need to grind a lot of affection points to start a gang.

Going with a Wu-Tang named PKChangs.

edit: I'll be available for early access for gang related activities from the very start, just hit me up in game.

Everybody wanting to roll Zephyr is really killing my special snowflake sensibilities. I may have to make something else now...like a Shaolin or something. :saddowns:

Every bit of the lore in this game is based on "Condor Heroes" and "Smiling Proud Wanderer". Mostly "Smiling Proud Wanderer". The intro cinematic has Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing fighting, and the first NPC who helps you out is Linghu Chong, although they spell his name wrong.

It isn't so much as they got the spelling wrong, it's more like they used the Wades-Giles romanization instead of Pin Yin romanization. This might be a localisation decision made to make the game sound more exotic, but to me it's just being stupid.

I'll be on early access, a bit late probably (don't get off work until 3 pm PST). Plan to hit it hard tonight and do some serious leveling, or any shenanigans we end up doing.

Endo usually means internal/chi/yin energy, whereas Exo is external/hard/yang energy.

I'm an idiot and didn't put the code in until just now -- did I lose out on early access?

Probably not. The server shows closed to me yet I can enter it.

If you can't, either wait a bit or submit a ticket.

That's strange cause I see the server as up and got on no problem. So far shaolin seems way more meaty than harmony. Maybe it's just the flash effects and ground explosions but I like it.

Forer posted:

Oh right, Something that I didn't think was said yet for anyone who didn't play.

This is stupid, because when you're actually in the game, in the top right is your quest log.

If you have a quest "Talk to Jimbob Jones" You can click the name and it'll path you to the person. The game has a free world teleporter in every single zone and it'll take the smart route TO the postman, then to the zone you need to be in where jimbob jones is in, then it'll automatically talk to him and wait for you to press a button to complete the quest.

If you need to kill mobs for a quest it will say "Kill Ornery Emu 0/10" and you will autopath to the enemy and automatically attack it.

If you need to grab stuff for a quest, it will say "Collect Dongcopters 0/5" and if dongcopters are something on the map that you can just pick up, it'll automatically path to them and start to pick them up. If Dongcopters drop from an enemy it will actually say "Collect Dongcopters 0/5 from Pissed Off Jellyfish" and you can just click the jellyfish portion to path & kill. If it's something that drops from more than one enemy like Snokeweed it'll bring up a help box that lists the mobs that drop snokeweed and where they are, all clickable so you can just path & kill.

Quests are REALLY easy to do and REALLY mindnumbingly simple. Press the underlined thing, go read SA, wait till you get to the zone, kill some dudes, press the underlined thing to go back to the quest giver, read SA some more, hand in the quest.

You also get a LOT of quests in one area available to you at one time, so you can go to collect snokeweed AND crocodile teeth at the same time, and then after that take a five second trip over to grab tassels off of some dudes hat and then go take another five second trip to get broken swords from a dude, and take one big trip back to where all the quest collectors are.

it's also why it really sucks that at level 39 all the quests dry up and you need to start doing OTHER things (Bamboo dreams event, Self-Cultivation the botting thing) but I guess they have to make sure you do them somehow. After 40 also the quests start having harsher requirements "Hey you need to be level 45 (For this quest you CAN do right now at 40 but shut up and grind)" but I can't say too much about them past 45

Edit: Oh right, and if you click on your map, OR on your questtrackershit, you will auto-horse if it's further than a little bit.

I know dude, I played the game, I got 3 people to level 40. The quests loving suck and I hate them and I find killing mobs mindlessly a hell of a lot more enjoyable than clicking a link and watching my character path horribly.

Q: I purchased a pack before the deadline on Sunday, June 29, 2014, at 11:59 PM PDT, but I still can't log in to play.
A: We sincerely apologize that you cannot log in currently. We will do our best to help you get in-game, and if you still can't after we verify it, we will award you with items for the inconvenience.

The first step is to send in a ticket to our Support Team.
Our Support Team will verify that you are eligible for early access.
If you still cannot log in, we will note your account. In the near future, we will be sending affected accounts an email with a code for an additional Leveling Pack, valued at nearly $60 USD, which players will be able to use on another character on their account.

Atleast they're giving something to people affected by this, though i wonder if the leveling pack is actually valued close to 60$

Also nobody actually has access to the bonus packs. The only thing anybody has is access to the server.
