Age of Wushu Thread - Swallow the Whale Edition

What server are you guys playing on, and how can I join?
Golden Panda has merged with Blue Dragon, so we're now playing on Blue Dragon. If you want to join the guild, leave your IGN in the thread and someone will try to pm you. Your internal needs to be level 5 if you're in a school, or level 11 if you're a vagrant, before you can join the guild.

CURRENT STATE OF THE SERVER: Since the merge, we've gotten much stronger. We have several whales in the guild now (three with full jade c6, one with ghost shadow sword, two with ancient taichi fist and such), with more looking to join. We're on unfriendly terms with the largest alliance on the server, and are currently leaning towards an alliance with ChaoticPanda and Insurgency (the evil vietnamese guilds).

Overview of the unarmed sets: pastebin.com/2S35D6cN

Image context: was ganking some SweetKiss guy next to a Dynasty member, Dynasty member attacks me, I rez and heal, we 1v1 and I won (very long, difficult fight consisting of several horses). He tried to pull out ancient taichi fist, FMS (the set I use), buddha palm, rg fourth, and BBC 2nd on me over the course of our fight. He was mad.

MADs are also welcome

reposting the silver hook victory screenshot that sank with the last thread

You forgot to mention in the OP the game is P2W as fuck

debatable

not really.
The cash shop sets blow normal sets out of the water by a huge margin, and not being a VIP means you level massively slower, have a harder time getting real money.
Saying it's debatable is like saying all PC games are debatably free because you can pirate them

pay-to-win is an inherently more equitable business model than play-to-win anyway

well shit, I should just screencap that

I play the game because it's fun in spite of its faults (which are many). I went in expecting nothing, and what I found, ironically, was the best MMO on the market (I even like it more than Anarchy Online at this point). Themepark MMOs just can't compare to the level of freedom that Wushu offers, and its esoteric mechanics are simply unparalleled.

Except it has completely ping based PvP. AFK grinding, I mean hell one of the most important benefits of VIP is that you DON'T HAVE TO PLAY.
The game's trash, neat systems inside, but trash.

Also Pay to Win as fuck.

It's garbage, and you defending Pay to win is the most pathetic thing I've seen on Holla Forums.

it's not for everyone. I find that the positives outweigh the game's many faults.

The way VIP is handled is a given with most mmos. I'd rather it be subscription based to begin with but that would kill off the player-base. We also have a guy in the guild that's played this game longer than any of us without giving Snail a penny.

Some of the cash sets are really strong but a lot of them are pretty worthless, there are tons of regular sets you can obtain without paying a dime that are just as strong if not stronger than cash sets.


tldr the game has faults and would definitely be much better off without cash sets or any kind of advantage that comes with paying real money but is still worth playing in spite of it.

oh shit doggy ran

Bump
not much happening atm, reluctantly grinding out my bbc dailies
Zank (the old leader of Rogue on GP) will apparently be joining us, he's going to buy an account

Does anyone play with their old NoTrabbu characters in the 8ch guild now, because that'd be pretty wild.

I think some people are playing their SV/BD chars, so yes
notrabbu was BD right?

Yeah, but it started as lodesadings just after release. Not sure if SV even existed then.

bump
Going to have two new whales joining our guild pretty soon…

what makes us so appealing to whales?

I'm a whale now too
really it just comes down to having the right people in the guild, whales recruit other whales.

we c6 now

...

me on the right, very soon…
wish I had something more substantial to post. Maybe in a few days.
apparently SweetKiss was wondering fi we wanted to ally. What are our terms?

wait what? we've been mercilessly ganking them, why would they want to ally us?

Hell tokened them, and Rage has been trying to waifu Raelene, apparently finding some success

This is why I gave up on MMO's

bumping with weeabshit

...

BD: Lodesadings leadership disappeared, reformed into NoTrabbu, eventually died
SV: Separate group of fags annexed RainingAsh, reformed as NoHomo, moved to GP, eventually all but one quit or moved to Wulin, now reformed on the merged BD megaserver as RiceFields

It's just Kaquem and AnimeIsReal hanging on from the NoTrabbu days
I'm reading through the old /vg/ threads and that's some nostalgia
Thilly died, apparently.

Those guys still play? I remember those names.
Also what. Say it isn't so. Where'd you hear that last one?

...

On and off, yeah.
NoTrabbu steam group wall. It's probably just shitposting.

What is the best program for making the larva grub out of bellies like he did in the video?

fuck

Wait which person is AnimeIsReal? Is that AgentOrange? I also played a shit ton on SV as "Kackem" because fucking nobody in NoTrabbu ever called me anything but Kackem, ITS KAQEM DAMN IT.

jesus christ this place is really coming down isn't it?

probably sony vegas or adobe after effects

fug, meant to reply to

fun fact: the term "whale" originated from gambling (casinos), and refers to players who bet large amounts of money

...

Think I might've succeeded in finding Tyranis a waifu from SweetKiss.
We might be well on our way to finding our first allies!

I'm thinking Kristoph might make for a good recruit now that he's pking all of SweetKiss, what do you guys think? He's strong, at least.
Of course, he'd have to join after Tyranis marries Clarity.

He's a homo.

homophobia has no place in this guild
besides, i am gay and so??

bump
anyone need a waifu?
There's another sweetkiss officer who's looking for a hubbo aside from Clarity

the bots are evolving

yeah, I've seen that before back on Golden Panda.
Dugu's bots are no joke.

Every NPC in Delightful Island talks like this?
