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

[Shashwaty19]

I mean i must have said something wrong, plus ignoring or making fun of his response, Is something I don't want to do and I think would cause more needless tension rather than an apology and a branch of understanding

I'm sorry man, I really should not have acted like that, I was just in a really dark mental space at that time with many things going on. I really was feeling like a failure and what you said just felt like a personal attack. I know that it is a joke but it just really got me heated for no reason. I am really really sorry for dragging down the mood and ruining the atmosphere.

 

[Shashwaty19]

Let me just preface this, I genuinely did not mean for what I said to be taken as anything more than a Joke and did not expect it to be any more
and for that I am sorry

I made this joke because I know you as the "You are your Wu heir, if he sucks you suck as well" guy and when I saw you as say that that being an "Being a Demon Maxxing No Romance Narcissistic Psychopath is Based and Godpilled", I just thought that if that Wu heir was real person that guy would kind of suck, and since you are your Wu heir, it means you suck and then I added the "roleplaying your life" and "TW having a wife at least" as some salt in the fictitious wound

I am under no belief that anyone in this forum ,let alone you (a person I see in good standing), is a murderer who sees evil as based thing and believe that you don't have friends instead you only have dildos tools. and I do believe everyone here is just having fun and that most of us don't love or hate any character outside of them mildly being annoying ( or daring to try to deny the mc of doing whatever he wants, but potato potato)

I also just wanted to get back at you for calling me a loser, albeit inadvertently, so my solution was a joke that did not have mean anything deeper than the paper that was written on it.
And I had no idea (and am slightly unconvinced) calling some a loser is a faux pas that would warrant such a response, at not to this degree.
But nonetheless, I apologize, but I would appreciate an explanation on why this could ever result in a real confrontation as you said. If you don't mind

I really like you as well man, I hope we can be good friends. I am sorry for escalating. I hope you can keep calling me an Idiot.

It's not anything you said, I just took it personally because of personal circumstances, please don't be reserved in genuinely mocking or insulting me from now on. Also you are the GOAT for being a way more mature person than I am.

 

[Raidou]

What is this?! No demand of kowtowing? No threats of tearing off all of your limbs and destroying three generations of your family? No declaration of courting death? We just what, apologise to each other because we're all mature people and then move on?!

How can you act like this and call yourselves martial artist?!

What is even going on in this thread man, everything is just so random.

ay it happens lad, we all have our ups and downs, bad days can hurt good things, Don't beat yourself over the atmosphere, It will recover, what matters is that you are better lad.

I really like you as well man, I hope we can be good friends. I am sorry for escalating. I hope you can keep calling me an Idiot

and i hope you can stay a Wu glazer, that is until niki decides to humiliate you more that is

Trust me, being mature is not a constant state, I have had times where I acted very similarly and believe me when I say I will have them even in the future.
It gets better. Slowly,but it does. Later on when things are better, you will remember this, not as a stupid thing that was done, but just as someone being caught in a bad moment doing something rash

aw man, right after our catharsis? how rude

What is even going on in this thread man, everything is just so random.

We are a social forum, and conflict is part of socialization. So it s not random, we just are at the essence of any social interaction

Thanks, yeah i should've thought of that but my mind's preoccupied these days

It is absolutely horrid to use to be honest. "The search could not be completed because the search keywords were too short, too long, or too common", Like just kill me bro

If you could ask Niki to put one thing in the game and he had to comply, what would you guys ask? If anyone says POMA book 2, I am going to shoot you.

Remove the free-roam section from the game. It’s completely useless and slows down the narrative.
Just think how much time it takes simply to get to the new content, and how much time you have to spend grinding Qi.

I'd be on my knees if nicky implemented the pill quality of life updates I wanted.

Also Xiao Chun should give you the win if you get equal numbers. Otherwise I'll cry when the game actually comes out without saves and only checkpoints.

Just let xiao chun the be first thing you do after waking from the coma ez, im sure when the full game come out, the visit someone will include som many people, tigress, Ai, tang ruo, wu dong, and most likely a hundred other characters.



Ignore all of them and go to xiaochun, getting that bag is more important.
Though I do wish we could cheat IN OUR XIANXIA GAME


But i mostly want niki to not get one off characters that have minimal events but have them exist more

If we help Wu dong, we could perhaps bypass the he gang lying to us about them or allows us to get an event afterwards where we decide we must raise the Wu up and gather then all and train them (and perhaps them giving us some money cuz we set up a successful team like the autunn reed society but our wus are the leader, could be cool if if we train our cult and they join them or something)

More arena battles and some people even challenging us in the arena because of our scores (maybe letting us reach the top ten, eh eh?)

Letting me visit Raven, and asking him where my tribute money at.

LETTING US BE SCHEMERS AND SCHEME FOR MONEY AND ADDING(not jing guo events) THE RESTURANT EVENTS.

NIKI I COME FROM A DECEDANT CLAN I NEED MONEY

Nicky PLEASE, I need more goonerclash in my grimdank game. If you go on webnovel to read some Xianxia, The most down horrendous gooner novels are waiting for you. Average Xianxia novel btw-

If Poma comes out without saves, I might actually pull a judge holden.

POMA=Savescumming, It's an integral part of the game.

Yeah I agree, we could use cheating and more money opportunities. I'd also like some ways to avoid punishment in scenes like assaulting He Gang (Ain't no way he's touching my devil boosted mc, and I can't even argue my case to the enforcer) or you know, making an enemy of Mei (Though I believe this is coming eventually)

I used to joke to myself about the money talent being a bustling body pillow business before it was removed lol. I can imagine the adverts claiming I've seen all there is to see! Get your lifelike Princess/Tigress/Ai/Spear Twin companions TODAY!

Disclaimer: Princess/Tigress/AI companions are entirely fictional and may not, in fact, be lifelike, sentient, affectionate. Product may not function as a body pillow, conversational partner, therapist, life coach, emotional support monarch, or substitute for meaningful human interaction.

Princesses and tigresses sold separately.

I want my Princess Ruo and Su De body pillow and what do you mean it doesn't come with a built-in p*ssy?

Princesses and tigresses sold separately.

This implies that Ai and Spear Twins are NOT sold separately.

The whole sect believes Ai is a slut and I can't sell Su Da because I'm a man of integrity and don't sell products I haven't sampled myself. That's why they go together.

If you could ask Niki to put one thing in the game and he had to comply, what would you guys ask? If anyone says POMA book 2, I am going to shoot you.

There's a couple things I'd love to see to be honest but my top ones are:

1.) Allow us to actually train during free roam for exp and Dao exp.

This would remove the whole "Wu Heir is a lazy bum" narrative while also justifying crit checks and more possible wins. Also enhances roleplay if you want to play a character who is obsessed with training and getting stronger like Ruo. Might even throw in a few sparring matches with Ruo where he kinda acknowledges/respects you for not just relying on your talent and actually grinding.

2.) Add crit/very high stat checks and wins throughout the whole game.

So not just in arena fights and flavor—actually make it change how things proceed. Don't get me wrong, I think that the crit check update was one of if not the best things that Niki did for the game, but it still feels like it's just flavor more than anything else. Except for arena and tournament fights, all they do is allow you to end fights early and aurafarm for that sweet prestige. They don't actually change how people view you and no one remembers or even mentions that fact that you literally one shot top arena fighters and are basically the only person in the world who is EX level at PH (to them).

3.) Either make all RO's gender selectable or none of them.

Right now it's kind of a mess because you can clearly see which characters Niki cares about (Mei and Ruo) and which he doesn't (everyone else), because he literally just writes them out of the story when he doesn't feel like working on them. IMO writing itself is not Niki's strong suit, and when he does do it well it is when he is writing a character who he cares about or when he is writing lore (which also changes all the time). So I think choosing one option would give him more focus and make the characters feel more evenly thought out.

4.) Add more side quests to the free roam part of the game.

That little Mo Long quest we get in the beginning is literally the only legit side quest you can choose to do and even that is not during free roam but as an event. I remember in the earliest versions there was a side quest hub where you could earn sect points but it was very bare-bones, and you could only pick flowers and would get more sect points based on your stats. If he could bring this back and actually make it good side quests that would be awesome.

5.) Make perks and items affect the gameplay and story way more.

I personally hate the fact when perks, especially in story-focused RPG's, go the Path of Exile route and are just percentage increases to your stats or bullshit like "One time per day, when you dodge roll forwards then backwards then to the left and then hit a special emote, you get 1.234% to your damage resistance. Mechanical perks are absolutely fine and needed but bruh Niki really needs to give more perks the Iron Will treatment.

Cause right now Niki is genuinely telling us "Oh yeah bro you possess the legendary power of Ressurrection, Regeneration, Otherworldly Beauty and a myriad of other things and all they do is bump your numbers up. Cool right?" To be fair Regeneration is actually mentioned in the game and can be used to do some cool stuff and survive otherwise unsurvivable scenarios, but for the other perks the point still stands 100%.

For items it's even worse because they are literally just number increases that are non-existent in any other way than buffing you. So no one mentions what type of clothes you wear, or whether you do at all, even when your fit costs more than their entire clan's life savings.

6.) Rewrite how the Wu Heir reacts to things without the player's input, and make the player responsible for shaping their character.

We are all painfully familiar with the infamous "You are literally a God reborn who is so above his peers they can't even provide any challenge to you, but this... it makes you shake in fear while pissing yourself" lines, right after which you can choose to completely disregard them and just do whatever you want anyway.

It's just annoying and breaks immersion when you're playing a 100% Demon 100% Dishonorable Wu Heir and you still get **** like this. It feels like Niki is writing for a very specific type of Wu Heir and then just throws in the other options without thinking about how they completely go against the apparently set-in-stone internal thoughts and feelings of the MC he created.

He just needs to quit doing that and let the player's actions determine their reactions and whether they feel something or not. Or he can go the simpler way and just try to write neutrally and then write scenes based on the MC's personality after they choose to do something.

This point also includes how the MC looks, altough to a much lesser extent. In a world that is immensely obsessed with appearance and aurafarming, it feels odd when everyone reacts in the same way toward completely different looking Wu Heirs. I'm speaking as a player who hasn't played a Fem Wu Heir so I can't say anything about gender variety.
