IRC Cause you faggots like irc irc.synirc.net #aow or for you mibbit folks http://chat.mibbit.com/?channel=%23aow&server=irc.synirc.net Here is your bureaucracy. Mumble info http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3521554 Game wiki http://swordsman.gamepedia.com/Swordsman_Wiki Skill Sets Each school has three different school sets and then there are non school skills you can get. You will also be able to build your own skill set with any skills that you know. You choose your class/school at level 5 and get your first skill set You get an extra skill for your first set at level 10 Your second school skill set is level 20 You get a custom blank skill set at 30 You get your third school skill set at 40 You get non school skills 50+ Classes  Wu-Tang - Endo One of the two tank classes, they specialize in endo defense and hp. They tank by utilizing their area control skills, keeping npcs in certain areas or locked in control moves. In group pvp they are pretty good for going in first with charges and making sure the enemy can’t run away while locking someone down. They have a self heal that gives you guard status and if hit you gain a stacking buff making your heal and elemental skills stronger.  Shaolin - Exo Warning: In order to join, your character must be male. One of the two tank classes, has the highest hp in the game, and specializes in exo defense. Their skills have a lot of aoe and control in them. They have a self heal that heals about 25% of their HP. Most of their control is also their aoes and involve knocking you up. They do have a lockdown combo as well which can keep your enemies out of the game for awhile.  Infinity - Endo This is a set about countering. Most of your abilities have an additional effect where if you get hit, you counter your opponent. Your sets start off pretty weak until the third set where things start to take off. This class is lower dps compared to other classes but the counter moves make up for that. They also tend to have low health but have a heal. This is also probably one of the better botting classes.  Sun and Moon - Exo The Sun and Moon is a demonic cult, considered a common enemy of orthodox sects, lead by East the Invincible. Their weapons are transformable Twin Daggers. The themes behind their abilities are the burning sun, the dark moon and absorbing one's life. Any Royal Guard fan will love this clan, since they also use chains to hook people in or roast them alive. Sun and Moon members contribute to PvE efforts with dealing good AoE damage and enabling allies to life steal. Their leveling and ability to sustain it is quite good. In PvP Sun and Moon is capable of dishing out a lot of damage in a single combo. They have many ways to demolish opponents but heavily rely on mid-range "pull 'em in" or getting in with gap closers. In Group PvP they kill by picking enemies off and controlling them.  Splendor - Exo This class has a ton of charges and grabs. If it was anything this class did, it was grabbing, throwing you, or lifting you up to stab you in the chest. The majority of your moves are low range and that is where you use charges to set them up. Splendor uses mainly exo damage but has quite a few ice moves that will root the target.  E’mei - Endo The Emei School is set up like a toolbox. They are able to perform well in nearly any role given the three skill sets at their disposal. The starting set is quite boring to work with because it has a heavy saturation of Healing abilities and not much to show in damage due to cooldowns on it’s few damaging abilities.. It performs as a ranged magic caster to start and unlocks a player based aoe heal as you progress. Expect this first set to be slow compared to the other starting sets from the other schools. The second set is where things pick up as you are given a wide range of melee abilities and a selection of three different basic attacks. This set has some great utility with stacking bleed effects and pulling in targets with a psychic claw hand. Although the straight stun in this set is slow and also a skill shot you are able to use other attacks to inflict a vulnerable status on enemies and causes your other abilities to proc knockdown and interrupt effects. When you reach your third set the school really gives you everything you might need in any given playstyle you like. The third set fleshes out what you have from the first set for ranged with some very flashy ranged attacks as well as close range AoE effects that can stun and knock up targets. This third set also contains a comical grab move where you lift your helpless target with psychic powers and spin them around in the air a few times and top it off by introducing them back to earth in a forceful manner. If you are looking for a school that can do everything then this is the place to be. The emei can perform as a dedicated healer, melee DPS and range DPS as well as all of the three in conjunction with custom sets of your own. Goku with a bag full of sensu beans.  Harmony - Exo The Harmony School is quite popular with 1v1 PvP players due to their high damage and assassin playstyle. If you are familiar with Age of Wushu then this School is quite similar in style to that of the Scholars School. The starting set is a poison/speed set with a high single target damage output. Not much of the first set translates well into the other two sets as Harmony have only a few very conditional poison attacks and the buff for poison damage in the first set has a very slight noticeable effect in poison damage. The second set is a high speed single and close range AoE damage set with some fun status effects such as blind and a quick sap effect. This set is very trendy with the public crowd because of how well it performs in 1v1 PvP. The drawback for all of this should be noted though that the Harmony school has almost no way of dealing with airborne targets and most of their attacks currently will straight fizzle out and go on cooldown if the target is in the air. PvP against opponents that know this will be very frustrating. Most attacks in the third set are quite complex as well due to most having two completely different attacks that trigger depending on if you tap the attack or hold down the hotkey. The third set is a shadow clone set that needs some patching because most of the effects of the attacks are extremely difficult to land on mobile targets as well as the gimmick of the set being flawed. The attacks in the set follow the same style as the tap and hold effects of the second set but the catch is that tapping the effect sends out a ranged attack shadow clone of yourself at your target and holding switches the role so that you fly out at you target instead and do something similar with an added status effect. The problem is that your name and target info never gets dropped from the opponent's view so there is zero trickery involved and if the target is moving you become fully dedicated to an attack that will totally miss. The Harmony School is great for players that want to do high single target damage and some great PvE AoE effects. Also be prepared to endure a great deal of Naruto fans rolling around your school.  House Tong - Exo Flamethrowers, missiles, gatling guns, cannons, mines, and a sniper rifle. Oh My. This group is the master of traps and poisons and they really stand out in this game. Most of their skills are for aoe with limited control and single target skills. They are mainly exo with a bit of fire and earth endo damage. Fighting against other players you will have ways to knock them back, up, root them, throw them, or stun them rather quickly allowing you time to get off a second skill for a lot of damage. They are the kings of long range damage and skill shots so expect to be using the action mode control setup.  Five Venoms - Endo Warning: In order to join, your character must be female. The Five Venoms Cult is a branch of the Sun and Moon Cult, originated in the South. They use whips and poisons as their weapons. The venoms are based on the five sacred to the cult poisonous species: snake, scorpion, toad, centipede and spider. Whips can be used to pull yourself towards the enemy, fling him elsewhere or as a method of spreading poison. In PvE side of things they can put down powerful fields that provide healing, damage over time and crowd control. Quite an asset since it’s easy to setup skills against npcs. In PvP Five Venoms can drag and throw you into their fields. The class has many ways to keep you at range, unfortunately they cannot operate at long range. Their whole play style applies a lot of pressure on the enemy in mid range and they have to figure you out. In Group PvP or Open World PvP this proves to be harder, since the fields are effectively short ranged. If You like whipping people into shape, entangling, throwing them around or are crazy about poisons, pick Five Venoms.  Zephyr - Endo Taoists wizards that use a fan and summon ice dragons. When they are not creating blizzards they are constantly charging an enemy down trying to shove their fan into their enemies mouth. The class has some range, control, and healing but in pvp you will be using a lot of their charges to get close to people as each charge gives you stability. Their first set has only a few attacks and has their heal in it. The second set focuses around ice shields and ways to protect your self or smash your shield upon your enemies. The third set is more mobile and has a bunch of aerial moves. Leveling info The game is on rails and it is pretty quick to level up. Come level 35 you will run out of quests unless you find alternate ways to level up. Guild events, guild quests, and daily events make up for this. If you want to help out the guild, open up the guild tab, look under the force tab, and find any place with a check mark on it. Go there and talk to the informants that are at the escort icons. Do this three times per day per npc and turn in the rewards at the guild base. This unlocks more guild events we can do which is more exp for everyone. Tutors There are two types of tutors. Tutor codes and a Master and Student system. Tutor codes HyC's: 23070000000131088460 This gives the player another gift box to open up every 10 levels and it owns. If you want your code listed here let me know. Each person who puts your code in apparently gives you points but you can't spend them since the npc doesn't exist. At level 50 players can pick up students and provide them with daily experience and a 15% experience buff for 30 minutes. The buff can be applied by the master all day long, and if the master is not doing it the student can ask for it a limited number of times. After the student has been a student for one day the master can give them a lump sum of experience. To raise your master level, you have to graduate students or give them lump sums of experience. Guilds Guilds in this game can control land and have to exist in some area. Other guilds can cut off their access if they are big enough forcing them to fight for their right to be there or fight for the control of a zone. Guilds can also just show up some day and remove guild npcs for an hour as well as write graffiti on the enemy guild base. Guild bases are not safe areas and allow for ganking. We will be a bandit guild instead of a mercenary guild, where you can play metal gear three times a day, kidnap npcs, torture npcs, and wear disguises. Guild Events These have to be done between 1900 and 2200 server time, which is central time. At 1930 we will be doing a feast at the guild base. If you are 31+ you can sit down in a chair for a 1 hour buff. Otherwise you give food to npcs for exp each turn in, once per minute. These last 20 minutes. This is subject to change based on how many people complain to me. Monday, Eunuch event since this is a weekly. Tuesday, one event and it will be a massacre. Wednesday-Saturday, two events each day and they will be massacre and treasure hunt. Sunday, for 50+ you can go on the magical beast hunt which may give us some good stuff. This is not a guild event but happens only once a week during this time frame. Cash Shop How bad is this? Crazy good. Everything is either in a nickle and dime store or cosmetic that does not go away. Your inventory is 30 slots and 3 bucks expands it to 60 slots. So if you spend 9 bucks you can double the size of your bank, your materials bag, and your normal inventory. Mounts are the same speed as the mount you get from quests, they just look different. You can buy gems and some other crafting stuff, but you can get these from drops either in the crafting instance or guild instances. We haven't had an issue getting these yet. Costumes, bags, and horses do not have a timer on them so they are permanent. You can buy botting pills that are 10 cents for 100 minutes. And if you are super nice, you can spend 5 bucks and give everyone in the guild exp by holding a feast. Once we get high enough.

Cash shop is pretty good and bags work like this. You have your inventory and bag inventory. You can combine two 5 slot bags to a 6 slot bag. Two 6 slot bags to a 7 slot bag. This is done in game at the grocer. They have no timer on them. You can also expand your inventory by 5 slots for 50 cents. You can do this 10 times. It might get more expensive after the first, don't know. The bags in the cash shop were pretty reasonable. I don't recall the price but they were cheap.

I'd take the five venoms for their aoes being pbaoe, they got a heal, and a nut kicking animation. Plus you whip people. But you also gotta deal with tit physics that look a bit odd. Tong is alright, their 1v1 combo is pretty awesome, but they just stand out like a sore thumb in a world of taoist magic and swords.

I'll be in on tuesday to help get the guild up as soon as possible. So this game has friendship points. You gain this by being a tutor/student, grouping with someone, or killing things with someone. A guild needs 4 people who all have 150 friendship with the leader of the group to start a guild. A gang needs 6 people who all have 999 with each other. They can then add people to a gang to increase its size. As far as I know, as long as you are in a gang, you get more exp.

Remember all those things age of wushu promised and never did? This game does those. Then changes up the combat a bit. The down side (up side) is you can't learn another schools skills. There are jianghu skills though, but not entire sets.

The flying skills are pretty much the same. There are schools that are the same since they are in the novels and movies. Scholars in wushu is harmony here Tong is Tang Wu-Tang is Wudang Shaolin is Shaolin Sun and Moon is like WV and RG had a rage baby E'mei is emei This game just adds more from the books.

I got to 50 as tong. In duels against me, I either completely locked people down or they had one or two chances to get in. The exception to this were classes with multiple charges. This is your combo which you can mix up. Baofeng from wushu was doing the same and a lot of people did not enjoy fighting either of us. Headshot: 0.25 second cast, stuns the target if they are not blocking. If they are blocking then you charge for 1.5 seconds to go through block. This tracks targets and can not miss. Death Coil: this is a root that is a skill shot. Your opponent can only dodge roll while entangled. Gunslinger: Rapid fire and good damage. You can move while using this and it always aims at your cross hairs no matter what way you are facing. Minigun: each bullet knocks the opponent back. The gun sweeps right to left to right and repeats. The opponent can jump over them or move to your left to hope to get out of the sweep. If you walk forward, or just tap forward, the gun resets to its most right position. You can keep tapping forward to keep the arc smaller. The minigun will turn with your character, unlike how gunslinger works. So if they are next to you, it is easy for them to avoid it by moving around you. Shrapnel: Fires a rocket at the enemy that knocks the opponent up. Skill shot. When you first cast this, you can keep casting it for a few seconds. Max of six rockets. This move can be done in the air to keep you from falling. Landmine: You drop a landmine at your feet, if the opponent steps on it, they get acupunctured (sap from wow, breaks upon damage). When you first cast this, you can keep casting it for a few seconds. Max of three mines. Vulture: A short range throw where you launch your enemy into the air and shoot them. This can be done while in the air. That is pretty much your 1v1 set up and if done right they have to wait for all of that before they can do anything and your cool downs are almost done then. I also some times use the dodge trap which teleports you backwards leaving an illusion that changes to an aoe snare/damage trap or bullet hell which is on a long 1 min cool down but can be used in the air and stuns anyone it hits.

You set up the team ahead of time in the arena and you start pretty much right next to each other. So blocking at the start is important. From there, hope you got a wudang or shaolin to CC things.

They mentioned 5 servers, 3 of which are magical euro land. So we will be probably US east. 1900-2200 server time are guild events so euroguys you might wanna tell us bad american math people what would be better for you. http://strawpoll.me/2015712 Also the money issue, by level 50 I didn't have one. The treasure hunt guild events and the bamboo event made sure I had plenty. The bamboo event gives you more and more unbound as you level up.

Not snail games isn't really a high bar and isn't really hype. Also to get to 35 or past it isn't that long. about 4-6 hours to get to 35 and then another 4 or so to get to 40 if you are in a guild. This is a paltry sum.
