Path of martial arts: leaked sneak peaks, and discussing thread

[bandaids]

Overpowering a E-X to M-X level Art seems pretty good as a feat for me, all this without manuals or even forming a foundation. After reaching Qi-Sea and preparing our foundation I wouldn't be surprised with Wu Heir being able to fight and defeat Shangtian's/CF's even.

We should also remember that with each rebirth you get stronger and the breakthrough from mortal to houtian double our stats iirc, so there is a possibillity an EX wu heir can have the strength of a weak MX and a MX wu heir equivilant to an average LX , this all about stats ofc, adding the golden seed and the dao makes Wu heir even stronger, so this is purely from a stats POV

Imagine we become what ruo is to us to xiantian

Peak X strength at L X

We already were this, in the aspect of fighting stages above. Since the exposition Base Ruo ~ Wu Heir are paired, once Xiwen himself said that Ruo without her sea of artefacts has the strength to fight a opponent of an stage above(Like Wu Heir and LDQ).
But I understand your point, only question is that the difference between each stage of Xiantian is greater than the difference between E-H to P-H.

I can't believe the author remove the unlock trait mechanic like damage reduction at constitution 2500 and other traits. It just feels weird and not fun as before. Not to mention a lot of talents are gone as well.

What's there not to believe? While I did like the baldurs gate 1/2 esque random talents and stuff, our current system where your stats are actually taken into account is far superior and immersive.

Not to mention we still have game mechanics waiting in the backlog.

Anyone got access to those sneak peeks?

By the way, I think we're kinda sleeping on this interaction against Chao. The 150&150 Check aside(That can be justified by some sort of temporary rage amplification), Wu Heir genuinely overpowered a MX-level Art by his own. If you anger Chao by insulting Zhi, it'll be said something about the power of this Heavenly-Palm being close to half the power he used against the M-X before.
Nicky might be genuinely hearing us at that point, at least to what regards checks and our feats. First a 116 CON check surviving a attack that could hurt a E-X, then a 150 AGI&STR check and now the narrative implying that Wu Heir is able to overpower a E-X to M-X level Art by his own...

I don't even think it should be disregarded (the Chao check) tbh, because in the code it's literally just a normal stat check. No bonuses, no formulas, just a straight up raw stat check. So maybe Niki is now raising the cap for what he considers possible, even if it is for a one off emotional moment.

I think manuals and more in-game powers like Healing Fire/Elemental Regeneration, Realm-Annihilating Fist, and manuals/tattoos in the future are a better way to go, though taking them into account might be annoying for the author

My only criticism is that we should unlock them outside of the 3v3 prep to make joining the Rogues a less mandatory path if you want to get stronger.

Is Yue Fang an RO? Or, the sister is?

I think that ideally both is the way to go. In cultivation it is a commonplace thing to have special powers/traits/abilities simply due to luck or birth. So while we already do have some like Iron Will or Otherworldy Beauty (hasn't been useful for eons except for relationship farming), I think more unique ones would be cool.

I think Niki deleted them because when he rewrote the stat system to be in the hundreds instead of thousands, to keep those he would have to rewrite every one of those as well, so maybe we'll get some back in the future.

We've been abandoned. Hope he's doing well though.
