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

I actually wish we were allowed to use Wu mother's mask in fights but it seems Nicky really won't allow it. The perception checks against Tigress pissed me off, I wanted to flex with my own camo 😅
To be fair I am fairly certain during the father child exchange where we get the mask Chao says it would be useless to use it in actual combat since it doesn't mask the displacements we make
 
I try to play the update few days ago, itch io server bugs off. I finally finish the update 2 days ago, COG server bugs off. Ig the heavens are scheming against me writing out my thoughts.

That said, i really enjoyed the update. Tigress finally gets some relevance and nice events, and the her fight was really good, id put it as top 3. Everytime i think the fight will end, it just extended on lol. And 200 stat checks??? Her base checks itself were 150. I was frothing at my mouth. She apparently has some kind of eldrith abomination on her heart which precedes even the entire universe. A perception check reveals that it has hunger for everything living, not just animals. I imagine she would get crazy strong if she actually ate the hearts of her enemies. Not only crazy strong, but she'd probably get outright crazy as well. How much percent of their strength she gains from eating the heart? Was it 5% or 10%? Still, I wonder what plan Niki has for her.

Speaking of events, i just came across a new event in which Wu Heir comes across their fan group harrassing a woman and her little brother. Has this always been there? Ig i havent seen it cuz i never encouraged the fan group. Also, LB is suprisingly conflicted letting go MC when they refuse to be her student or let her mind **** us. Ig she needs us more than she shows us.
I know and if you are reading the dialogue she first goes on about how we are practically family and she is the only one who cares, and because we will not use the spells she has, she says some nonsense like let's cut our karma because we will be useless to her. Honestly only person in our small world we can trust is our dad, everyone else has an agenda.
 
You mean, an unserious and battered base Yang Gan who is, right after, explicitly said to be physically stronger than Full Asura Wu Heir amped by Body Dao.
Now imagine a conscious, serious YG with Full Asura and Nirvana Mantle...

Listen I am holding fingers that after saving his *** and him gaining consciousness means we get a body cultivation manual out of him or at least a limits raise. Please teach your benefactor your secrets.

Terrible excuse because we also hear Chao was completely helpless as Wu mother got behind him and broke her hand behind his back. I'm also pretty sure even with displacements we can fly and it's still difficult to fight someone you can't see...

Also what about Tigress's camo? Does it come with a cleanup crew?

Now that I think about it, I would love an option to kill Gan when both him and Ruo are unconcious so I get a boost from him.

I'd rather the mask be an op artefact for stealth intel gathering that even someone like LB cant detect us, instead of it being another combat based artefact which will lose its buffs over time. The former gives some interesting writing room. Imagine espionage events against LB or Yichen. The thing Wu Heir lacks the most is information, we are in blind about almost everything. It would be nice to give Wu Heir a expanded skill set, making them influential outside combat as well.

Also just for downright theft, got to make the monkey god proud

Wu Family being the most loving family in the entire verse as always, Wu Chao, Zhong Zhi, and Wu Ya (probably also Zhong Delun) are genuinely my favourite characters

Ai still trains with you and tigress while she's frozen, which is funny to think about. Do we just wail on her ice prison together? Hah. Honestly I would like to see them interact. We kinda just skip to training together but I think they could make friends.

Anyway, I actually like this new system. It naturally gives you more to think about but eh. It was interesting. Plus doesn't it make more sense lorewise? I did end up being stronger than otherwise, since you're allowed to just daomax with this new system and get more talents.

Well, just some problems like straight up not letting me increase my qi ocean past a certain point... Your dantian has a max limit of 180 at the moment.
Wait a minute. Apparently this is perfection?

Kinda pathetic ngl. Is this how geniuses live?
Anyway, of course she still has to let that Ruo glaze out. I guess this means our next advancement might not be as far away as I thought. Or Nicky will make perfection cost higher, dunno.

Well I kicked Tigress's *** again and beating Muchen was even easier so I'm satisfied with what we got.

I just raise charm to 36 at the beginning and get plastic surgery. The rest is handled by phoenix heart.

I did lose the poetry competition against Xiwen tho lol

It has indeed become easier, perhaps with the exception of Body Refining - specifically the cap increase part -, which has now become more expensive relative to the changes.
Anyway DO/RP turns it more brand.
My mortal run so far is right after the 1v3 with 100~110 base stats, Qi Perfection and Tri-Dao level 9.
My only reclamation is that now Martial Sovereign is utterly, completely, disgustingly useless.

Honestly I should probably just go with Mei until the game releases if I insist on doing mortal runs. My base stats are I think a lot lower this time. Body refining is indeed considerably more difficult.

I've got no idea how the new system works so I'm hoping you share your knowledge about the systems once they're locked in btw. :cry: I don't even know if Perception matters for dao exp anymore.
 
Yes. It’s much harder now – too hard, in my opinion. I mean, Infusion and Body Dao make any checks viable, but I’m the sort who likes stats to be naturally maximised, not to mention that it’s important for the foundation and all that.

Another complaint I have is the conversion of EXP to gold. Honestly, even though it doesn’t make much sense, I liked it; that said, the rates are ridiculous. 1 EXP for 1,000 gold? I’d gladly swap 5,000 gold for 1 EXP if I could.

Overall, I liked the changes. Especially the fact that we can now buy talents. Nice.
 
You mean, an unserious and battered base Yang Gan who is, right after, explicitly said to be physically stronger than Full Asura Wu Heir amped by Body Dao.
Now imagine a conscious, serious YG with Full Asura and Nirvana Mantle...

Thank God we aren't in the lizard twink skin.

YG should thank the Heavens that Nicky has set the max check at 200 for the time being, cause that's the only thing keeping him from getting turned into red mist.

Because as it currently stands:

1.) YG doesn't even have Full Asura and he won't without some major bullshit because while the Yang's part is clearly available to him, the Demon Queen recently dipped out and started preparing to fight against LB and her cronies with her entire sect, and if the Wu Heir has Full Asura and didn't share it like a complete fool, then that's it.

2.) The checks have jumped from 100 to 200 in 2 updates, and while it's true that Nicky once again shifted the Xiantian bottom cap to starting at 200 - a lot of boosts, pills, and items already in the game just disregard not only that limit but also the natural 150 stat limit. Maybe it is just unpolished code and Nicky's oversights, but currently it is possible to get above even the 200 limit in base stats. That's not even considering Qi Infusion which if you have 75 in Qi Power at Qi Perfection is +75 in all stats for 150 Qi, the new Body Dao passive activation which gives at it's minimum required Body Dao level a +41 in all physical stats at a periodic 10 Qi drain if you have 75 Qi Power, and a variety of other bonuses like Yichen's rewards and artifacts.

Then of course there's all the various Dao forms, Dao Perfection which gives +20% spell power, Tri-Dao chicanery, Realm Annihilating Fist, etc.

Literally the only thing stopping the Wu Heir from displaying Mid-Xiantian level power right now is Nicky. Even the 200 checks in the Tigress fight are absolute breadcrumbs. Which makes me annoyed to no end when by all standards of reason the Wu Heir should be at Qi Sea already, yet keeps saying **** like "I'm nowhere near strong enough to activate this mask" or "Damn my full power didn't do anything" when it's just literally Nicky telling you in a roundabout way that you'll advance only when he says you can advance.

So the pic should be reversed with the current Wu Heir being Conquest and YG being Oliver, which is fitting because he is already red and about to get redder.

It'd be interesting to be allowed to advance earlier. Same as advancing to the next houtian stages. Since we can reach perfection it wouldn't even be that bad, right? Though my body stars will be lacking 🤣
