Who's going to make a Cyberpunk MMO?
OP comes to whine about consequences in a PvP game, trying to warn other gankers.
Ends up sparking interest in dozens of players.
Didn't quite work the way you meant it, huh?
same here , i ll try that game sounds interesting
It seems a lot of people interest in this game now, but to be fair, you don't really know everything about Snail and PayToWin system in this game.
First of all, the jail system OP mentioned can be exploit by people and put you in jail for long time everyday. The mere fact that as soon as you open PK, someone can slap a bounty on you and the higher your bounty, the higher your jail time. This is what people did before Guild War, you don't need to kill anyone to be in jail, they just piss you off with their noob characters and then slap a bounty on you and use their high level character nearby to arrest you, bye bye couple hours each day. THE HIGHER THE BOUNTY, THE MORE JAIL TIME, this mean rich people can harrass you everyday with little money and you will be in jail everyday.
Second of all, Snail is the worst company EVER. They used SWITCH and BAITS tactics twice by making FALSE ADVERTISEMENT and then broke their promises. First is the Elite's Horse which Snail said TOO POWERFUL to be permanent, then they gave one of the crappiest horse ever to make people buy for temporary horse from CashShop. Second is the Deluxe package which clearly said only 19 days in CBT2 and 60 VIP days after luanch. Snail clearly know the game won't be ready any time and so they "delay launch" and effectively charge 60 VIP days timer right at CBT2 while forcing people to pay in CBT2 for over 3 months.
Third of all, the game is PayToWin due to time progression, THE MORE YOU PAY, THE FASTER YOU LEVEL. If you pay a little, you get VIP. If you pay a lot, you can get max level in couple days. If you don't pay at all, you can level as slow as possible. The whole system is based on time progression, so as a free player, even if you play 10 hours per day, you will never be able to catch up to VIP players who play only 1 hour per day. There are also a lot of VIP hidden feature that they didn't tell you and scream "Pay for VIP".
Lastly, Snail has one of the most terrible customer service, if you get hack "It's your own fault and you have to deal with it, Snail has no reponsibility to do anything", this is what GM said. If you talk negative about anything on the forum, GM will delete your posts and ban you for days. Expect all your event rewards to be not deliver if they don't like it, there are red letter that said "Support will not be reponsible for undelivered rewards".
In conclusion, I have played this game for over 2 months and barely play the game now. I have played with Nexon game for 3 years and thought it was one of the worst company ever. However, SnailUSA manages to convince me otherwise, they are on a whole new level compared to Nexon. If you like PayToWin games, you will definitely like Age of Wushu. The whole game is time progress, it is not like XP boost or anything from other games. You will effectively stay weak for months before you are strong enough to do anything and there are NOTHING you can do about it except to pay real money for it. There are a lot of people who spent thousands of dollars in this game already and got screw by Snail via Beta Bag event that ended early and everything in this game require silver, SILVER = Real Money as Snail is the biggest GOLD SELLER.
Now that you know more about this game, enjoy it, get the hype over and see the real system behind it.
Im calling bs on your whole post. By the second week i was making around 1.5ding a day with script stealing and farming demanded mats and selling them. Money is not an issue if you actually know how to play and level up your crafting.

Mwahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
Dude, that's a pretty light penalty for 30 murders.
PKers are always whining that PK should be allowed because it's more realistic. Well guess what b####, penalties for murder are also more realistic. For every action, there is a reaction. I'm not saying it's equal, otherwise your character would suffer a lot more.
So, can you play a different character?
Can you stay logged on while you sleep through the night and go to work or school?
If either of those are true, your 'penalty' is pretty much a wrist slap.
I guess Age of Wushu isn't a Gankers Paradise. Awww, isn't that just ashamed
[sarcasm=high, sympathy=non-existant]
Lost my mind, now trying to lose yours...
I call it B.S unless you are talking about 2nd week of CBT2 instead of 2nd weeks when you start to play the game now. The market inflated with Elite's gold and GM buying Jackdaw Herb for 1L each.
They jacked up the prices at early state so people buy more gold to convert to silver.
Tell me, 2 weeks if you start the game now, how can you even manage to steal book when everyone can 1 hit you pretty much all the time. Don't try to lie, go make new character now and then tell me about it.
For those who don't believe me, make new character, join a school and ask people who played the game in the last 2-3 weeks, ask them if they can steal books or make more than 300L. Don't believe everything, judge it for yourself is what I want to say.
Dont compare first day with two weeks please. With two weeks you are already flows with chi.
The secret is to Join a guild and go with a pack, tell them to teach you the places that defenders dont check.
Ill give a freebie for the people here. When you go steal beggars what till someone steals on the roof and then do it yourself. Dont jump on the ground, jump to the next building and again to the place near the respawn spot, after that ride your horse and go to the east exit by climbing on the mountain or using the carriage. I get 4-5 books like this every time and i got tricks for every school.
Seems you dont know how to steal thats all. Been doing this since i was one with nature and maybe got killed like 6 times since then.
In UO I had to afk macro all night for 4 months to become blue. 26 days is almost laughable.
The only care bear I see is you bro.
lmao yea I killed a buncha people one day.....went purple name and wasin the process of having a friend "beg" my infamy down and we got jumped by some wanderers. I was sent to jail and then a few friend broke me out of jail! Breaking people ut and being broke out is so fun and exciting!!!!!!!
When a break out is underway constable players are called in to try and stop then criminals from breaking a friend out. Long story short I got out hid in the top of the treees on a mountain and had a friend beg my infamy down to red name. Then I just hung out in the trees for a few hours lol.
Longest time I have ever spent in jail was 2 hours, but thats only becasue my friends where not online to jail break me haha!
That's too cool man. I know your heart was punding hahaha.
Open PvP means you can kill anyone, not that you wont get punished if you get caught.
The whole thing sounds logical to me, going around killing people have always had consequenses.
And it isnt carebearish, then you wouldnt be able to kill anyone.
It seems you are a liar and it shows. 4-5 books? I with "Reach the limit" and ride the fastest horse in game only get like 3 books most of the time. You somehow get 4-5 books and have no problem with people camping around.
If you want to lie, try harder. What you also talk is from experience of doing lots of book script, but you forgot to factor in whether you will get pull off your horse or PK on the way.
Everyday, I read school chat with people who are even spiritually balance and they get like 1 book most of the time or 2 if they get really lucky without PK/Gank on the way.
Also, tell me about 1.5D a day from book steal? You have to get lucky to even get the good book to even sell and 1.5 Ding a day? Don't tell me you are those people who use macros and just have character botting to pick same materials all day.
Again, YOU ARE A LIAR. Yes I said that. Don't try to pull a fast one on me since I play this game since CBT2 start and help lots of people in my school.
For those that they don't believe me, create an account, get into the school and ask people who start the game in the last 3 weeks yourself. See how they would tell you so much differently than the liar here who managed to make 1.5 Ding a day. Remind me of that author who wrote "Age of Wushu, Paying doesn't mean winning" except he is on top of the pyramid and clueless about most of the thing he said like making 1-2 Ding a day or wrong information kidnap.
4-5 books is pretty amazing. There are slick ways of doing it though, like breaking meridians (suicide) and using the free school port. The tops I can get is 3 script cases, sometimes I get 2 script from 1 of them. Yeah most the time they aren't much, but once or twice a week I pull ones that go from 1-5D.
1.5D a day from stealing scripts is tough, unless your one of those script traders. "I'll give you X for A, B, C." type of player. Now a Ding a day is nothing to a lot of people just on crafting alone.
As far as the "pyramid, it's the guys at the bottem that make it go. The guys that mine or, farm crops, farm silk, enchanting materials, XP pills. The people at the "top" selling weapons for 1.5D probably have 900L-1D into the wepon they crafted. On a two week old toon, I know I could make 400L a day, not counting scripts.
Actually, no. It should have been worse... ^^ (Fluffs CareBEAR fur)... ^^ As the old song goes, "Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time".

FFA PvP is bad enough as it is. FFA PvP without consequences would be even worse. But I'd be surprised if the Goonie types don't come up with some way to loop hole this system.
You seem to fail to to understand what I said. In order to get 4-5 books, you have to be fast and run in and out without even anyone attack you.
I myself have Scholar inner level 30 + Hell Wind, yet most of the time I can only get 3 books. Yes, you can suicide, tele back to your school 2 times, but the problem is to get out of the map. You are talking like someone who have no problem with getting out of the map, despite being "Flow With the Chi" and most people could kill you with couple hits.
In order to craft, you need recipes and then at Gold/Jade equipment, you need workshop which cost 5D+ alone. A 2 week week old players would never be able to do that.
You can farm all that, but it is impossible to make 1.5D per day. I talk in school chat all the time with people who played more than 2 weeks and keep saying "How can you make money? I barely have 200L now".
Again, you are a LIAR. On a 2 week old toons, you have vigor limit and barely can get all those materials. Don't try to pretend to be a new player and don't try to pretend like you are playing on a 2 weeks old toons. You are just like me, those who play for over 3 months on top of the pyramid. Your post is showing that you have forgotten what 2 weeks old toons feel like.
well 4-5 is possible at defending, other way not much teleport>suicide>teleport after that both are on cool down
well 2 months 2h a day is possible without problem with current cap, team training to use 100% for non vip will be like 17 min which will give 10h lvling time +bound silver lvling
I walk with my guildies so when i get out of the map, which i always do cause i always got someone on my back, they kill me in the next map. Its easy, some people just forget they can steal books with friends, it makes it a lot faster and safer clearly the guy calling me a liar has been so confident in his reach the limit status that he has forgotten this is an mmo. If hes getting pulled, killed or ganked its because he was alone or run into a mob.
Yes, book steal is 3 at best before school run out of script. Even if you defend, you must be next to libarry to even get more than 3.
The problem with 2 months and 2 hours per day is for VIP player only. Free player will get cultivation at much slower rate and XP gone down much faster as free player.
Let's do basic math.
VIP:
240k from 24 hours + 100k TP + 60k bounded silver, that is 400k convert per day.
Free player:
20k from 2 hours + 100k TP + 60k bounded silver, that is only 180k convert per day.
The result is VIP player will level more than 50% faster than free player. Even if free player log in 24/7, there won't be enough cultivation for TP or Martial Practice, that is still only 60%.
Even though VIP said they get 30% more, but due to XP of free player goes down much faster rate as hidden VIP feature, so it is actually more than 30%.
Now, if VIP player with Meredian system take like 6 months to 1 year to max, then free player will take 1 year to 2 years to max.
Enjoy waiting for 6 months to 1 year later to catch up to VIP? And we are not even talking about CashShop players.
I call you a liar because it is the fact that you can't steal that much book or make 1.5D per day like you said if you start the game 2 weeks ago.
You can walk with your buddy, the problem is again when you take the quest, you and your buddy will spawn at different location. Thus you both have to come there to the same location to steal book and leave together. Then you have to get out of the map without getting either one of you PK and then have someone out there to kill you.
Clearly you haven't thought of everything when you try to write what you just said above. Not to mention most school run out of book in 10 mins due to people using alt to make it easier to kill for books. Thus even the fastest runner will only get like 3 books before you can't even take the quest anymore.
Even though VIP said they get 30% more, but due to XP of free player goes down much faster rate as hidden VIP feature, so it is actually more than 30%.
what do You mean by hidden feature?
VIP get 380 non vip 266
