Quests arn't that important the only ones that matter atm are the storyline quests and the school quests after that its about doing spy missions, Team Practices and working on your profession and skills while cultivating your school inner to progress try doing some of the events like script defend and forbidden instances to keep you busy 2. Also goto chengdu if you're looking to merchant and try to make money, youll start to learn prices and get an idea of what s always in demand and how much to sell things and what may be more profitable items to have. | ||

just watch this video, for backgroundstory: http://www.twitch.tv/excessiveprofanity/b/391733592?t=213m55s straight into the chase: http://www.twitch.tv/excessiveprofanity/b/391733592?t=219m55s here's what i think about it: pros: + f2p but not p2w. the VIP service does grant you 30% more exp, which means you wont get to the very very top without it but you can still get really high because: + levels dont matter that much. even a group of lvl1 guys can stunlock people. + no hc grinding. anyone who just does daily spy quests and does teampractices will stay up in levels. (this takes 1,5h a day if you know what you're doing). grinding does give you more meridian exp but they dont make THAT much of a difference + lots and lots of pvp + pvp is skillbased + pvp + really complicated. there's so many things to learn about this game cons: - really complicated. some of the things arent taught anywhere so you just have to find them out yourself. also some of the translations are really bad. this makes the game really unfriendly for beginners. - ui looks and feels bad (graphics are great tho) - really high number of goldsellers and they spam most of the chatchannels. you can create custom chatchannels to help but you cant completely block them - main story isnt ready yet. some skills havent been implimented yet. the whole game isnt ready yet. this is also a good thing because we know that theres tons of things left to come it has potential to be the best mmo i've played. right now its buggy. its not ready. im still enjoying it. | ||

Personally I'll hold out for Blade & Soul's launch outside of Korea which looks fairly similar. | ||

currently rank 1 constable on Red Phoenix, ill give some of my pro's and cons of the game so far. Free to play. full stop this is amazing, you get to play the game for free. however a f2p player has to make some effort to keep up with VIP players. but i remember a post on official forums i dug up that did the math, that even a VIP player putting 100$ into the game a week will have no more then a 20% leveling speed advantage. second point which could be seen as bad and good. Buying gold in this game (30 gold to vip, this is $9 US) can be directly changed into Taels (trade able currency) one good thing about this is there is a potential incentive and a potential income for snail through this. The bad thing.. basic economics, if u print enough money shit gets real expensive. GOOD THING HOWEVER 1 gold = 10 liang. that's 300 liang for 9 dollars. that's a somewhat reasonable exchange rate considering i can get 200 a day doing bounty hunting + kidnapping. The kidnapping aspect however is really only considered a reliable income for VIP players though as iirc f2p players get less tael per kidnap. now another good and bad thing. 1 man cant take on more then 2 with reasonable chances of success. Myti said levels dont matter much.. well they do, i can burst down 1-2 people in a 3 man group before their group advantage becomes too apparent but thats only when level difference is huge. the bad aspect of it would be for players used to games such as RIFT. where a certain spec could just tear through 3-4 people and come out more then 80% hp. BIggest concern on server atm is school balance (essentially like classes but ofc u can learn anything in the game with time). since the server is still at 1st inner stage, Royal guards wreck face, that is arguably the most devastating school at the current level. Why? because they have a ranged chain attack. no wait 3, 1 that pulls u, 1 that stuns u AND breaks guard, and one thats just regular. At the moment only a relatively small few have the flying skill to compete with RGS (goose step ground dash essentially). Anyone without it is just at a huge id say instant 60% less chance to win just because of it. Though this balances out as the server gears up. Royal guards sorta get outclassed at higher inners etc so nothing will change about the class. Only other balance squabble is Tangmen. but a nerf was layed down on china server for them so eventually it will trickle down to us. But for those not in the know Tangman can run dash etc whilst hitting u from long range whilst slowing u down so if u decide to run u cant. king of open world pvp atm, though u can wreck them so bad if u catch them. another Good|bad point. Sandbox = do whatever the fuck you want. Good because...i can do whatever the fuck i want. sometimes i spend 3 hours straight hunting criminals across the whole world, for no less then 10 liang haha. the other day we decided to lock up guild escorts for 30 minutes, essentially just whatever we want and its fun fun fun fun. BAD however. because those players who dont have that motivational drive to do something and need content spoon fed wont enjoy the game. lets be honest though...isnt that a good thing <3 As myti said. bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs. so many bugs. but things are being ironed out. some can be a hude distraction but rarely game breaking. and if u do encounter one of them, contact gm support ingame load up an alt and do some gathering to pass time. multi clienting IS allowed. another bad thing as myti pointed out. THE UI O M F G though for myself i feel its fine EXCEPT ONE CRUCIAL THING we play MMOs to talk to people. WHY THE FUCK IS THE CHAT SO BAD. its just so hard to read, even when u set to 100% transparency it just goes back to 0 randomly. u cant change colors its just terrible. i have so much more to write but i feel this is completely void of grammar so ill stop here. ill make a post every nown and again of my constable huntings <3 | ||

Personally I think this game has many flaws (especially its comically poor localization) but if you get over that the game mechanics are relatively solid. I like how there is always something to do, and you can do other things while you play the game, since it doesn't require a lot of attention. Merching is fun too but the market is pretty small. | ||

I like this game. It's got bugs, quirks and the localization is hilariously bad but the fighting is fun, the open world is fun and I've been more interested in it then anything else of late. | ||
