[Megathread] Age of Wushu Sandbox MMORPG

[Grable]

Tbh, horses come in handy at certain points, but they are definitely not a necessity. I did just fine without it, you have flying skills after all to move faster and the horses are disabled in schools, so they're not really as important as having them in a game like WoW for example.

FFA pvp...

FFA pvp...
ssssssss
think ill pass then

That's fair. It says "Age of Wushu is a pvp world. Do you want to enter?" Right at the start you have to check yes to continue.

If you didn't know it has the best crime/punishment system on the market. Here is a thread from mmorpg about a guy crying because he went to jail for 5 hours.
Age of wushu is advertised as open pvp, LIES! PVP Sucks! 72 hours in jail.

this got a bunch of laughs. Look up the system when you get a chance. It's all player run. Bounties, jail, prison, and beheading.

Here is a small liknk talking about the system it leaves out 1/2 the stuff though.

Are the schools basically like picking a class? I can't find it anywhere, I was hoping I could just pick and choose abilities. Could someone maybe explain the system a little better to me?

Schools are basically like a class yes , it decides which weapons and skills you start with, you can get the skills of other classes as well but you will have to buy them from other players.

There are open world "Events" every night called "Script Stealing." Two schools will be defenders, and the 6 others will have a choice of which of the two to steal from.

The object is for you to get to a bookself, grab a book, then flee the scene. Imagine 300 people storming Iron Forge to steal the Dwarves secrets, then having to flee entire area not just the city, with people (not npcs) trying to kill you.

SS is one of my favorite parts of the game. You can become rich!

Oh that is going to make it harder for me to decide on a school
Are the other skills expensive?

That sounds awesome actually!

Also why are some schools good and others evil? Can I not play with someone if I am a Shaolin and they are a Royal Guard? Or can I just not become a criminal if I am a Shaolin?

I haven't played in a while because I wanted to decide on a school first and I can't decide lol. I am thinking Shaolin, Beggar or Tengman. But I kind of wanted to be a criminal so would Beggar or Shaolin be a bad choice?

You can play with everyone and kill everyone no matter what school you play, but schools have different rules so good schools will have a more strict punishment for doing evil things like kidnapping and killing people, evil schools like Royal Guard don't care unless you kill your own school.
It's a long list so details here.

The other school skills all depends on how lucky you get with your own loot and what you do in-game, if you do script steal often, some random encounters and some escorts then it's not too expensive but if you can't attend script steal and mostly just PvP/kidnap then it's probably going to take a while.
But I am no master in making money in AoW because I don't really need it so maybe there are many other good ways of making money.

There are plenty of evil beggers out there Just be prepared to repent often. Repenting allows you to take down your school discipline value. That being said, if you get into school politics (You can become the leader of your school. There are also elders and deacons) you may have problems being evil and a member of a good school.

Offline Living



Age of Wushu bucks the trends set by traditional MMOS in a variety of ways. No classes, but rather an expansive customization system to build your own personal Martial Artist. There are no levels for the character, but rather leveling up skills that you want to level up. There is another addition that Age of Wushu offers, not seen in many other titles. When you log off after a long day of playing, your character continues to work for you and collecting experience and more until you return. The Offline System is a unique reward for those that need to disconnect for a few hours or days, but it also adds a new adventure for those online too.

This looks oddly interesting. I watched both Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Yingxiong/Hero recently, so this looks kinda cool. Might give it a look.

Not only that, after the first 2 hours (tutorial stuff) it's the most feature rich mmorpg on the market, and it's not even close. EVE is the only mmorpg made in the west over the past 8 years that can compare.

EVE has more features.

On April 10th,Age of Wushu is launching out of their last closed beta. The epic Free to Play MMO will be opening another new feature to the game, the Battlefield/Battle Arena. This is an exciting chance for some simple team based dueling for EXP and more. The PvP arena will be a great place to test your skills in a confined space, and improve your strategies for the more open and deadly world outside the arena.



There will be two modes that players can select to take part in. The first is the Power Competition, a point based mode that scores teams for the kills that they have made. The other is Death Mode a faster and more intense scenario that is simple, No respawns and No time limit. The last team standing at the end of Death Mode is the victor.

Another twist thrown into the Death Mode, are Secret Association Experts. During the battle a random player will be designated as a higher priority target for a team. Killing this player will result in a Buff for the team that kills him or her. Often times a team can focus too much on the SAE buff, that they will be leaving themselves open to attack from their opponents.

In addition to the two game types, there will be two arena locations to choose from. 12-person teams battle in the Ancient Tomb Sect, while the 24-person battle arena takes place in the Muyun Villa. Both arenas have the two modes mentioned before, but the environment is different adding new areas to leap across or run up and initiate combat.

The Battlefield will allow players more chances to earn EXP. And with the new Meridian system drawing heavily on Combat to cultivate, players can get more Chi to activate those new skill points and harness more strength from internal skills. Both Meridians and the Battlefield, go live with the Age of Wushu launch on April 10th.

ALL REAL FOOTAGE, no tricks.

So I just read that I can play the current beta with out restrictions for 20$ for the deluxe version, and they are not wiping charcters. I think I will pick this up tonight or this weekend. Is there any advice for a newb that hasn't read much on the game? I was reading a little bit about the Scholar school on the first page, and I think I will play that. I was also wondering if anyone would be willing to let me in their guild if they have one. Trying to find some reading material right now, if anyone has any good links I should read could you let me know.

Thanks

[Deleted]

So, can you play the game now without having time limit on how long you can try it?

[Loyrl]

There is still a time limit until the beta is over. I bought the 20$ edition so I don't have a time limit. Still getting used to the game and trying to figure out what does what. The vigor thing is a bit annoying at the start, but I have heard it gets a bit better...

My Script Stealing Video (1st video )

Every night there's a Script Stealing event. Two schools will be protecting. The other six schools are stealing. The object is to grab a script from inside the school, then flee the scene. If you're killed, the killer can take your scipt. Scripts are skills from that school. They're like winning lotto tickets. You can go from rags to riches
with just one.

Guild Escort Cart Robbing Video - This is kinda like my thing. Make sure you see the last clip.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--LRI...ature=youtu.be

Guild Cart Escorts can be ran anytime throughout day, all day. Guild members run them for guild contribution, and XP pills. Contribution helps raise guild level, and maintain guild keeps. When a a guild escort is lost there is a red sytem message that goes out to the escorters guild saying they have lost a cart.

I rob carts for evil points and the juicy XP pills that I can give to lowbie guildies, or sell for profit.

[Loyrl]

Thanks for the videos, ya got one for spying? I tried last night and 5 scripts and then my ass handed to me in a few shots from another player.
