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

[LuciDio]

Already played the update, really liked the mechanics updates. Though I wonder how many strands you need to be considered the absolute greatest to ever do it in the entire history of the cosmos, I am ready to go for another hundred strands if it means an ego boost.

I checked both the game and the code, and currently the maximum amount of strands you can get is 13. And that takes a ****-ton of Qi because of two reasons:

a.) As you progress in the amount of strands, each next one requires more Qi to fill up in both density and power.

b.) If you want to be the best you can actually be and fill up all the bars before you attempt a breakthrough for more strands, it lowers your chance of a successful breakthrough, and to mitigate that you have to spend Qi again to increase the chances. It says something about pills and treasures also affecting this, but I haven't checked.

Being the greatest to ever do it in the history of the cosmos is unfortunately probably impossible simply due to the fact that there's nowhere near enough resources around for us to accumulate so many strands. To be honest I don't know if there even is a limit to the amount of strands one can have at Qi Refining.

Apparently, 13 strands is the limit, as 13 is a special number and corresponds to each stage (3, 3, 3, 3 and +1 to represent perfection). To achieve perfection, you need to score 100 per cent on each strand, which of course reduces the chance of a breakthrough and significantly increases the cost (which ties in with the lore that the more solid the foundation, the more difficult each step is, but with better rewards). As for the items to increase the chances of a breakthrough, these will be added later.

At this point Niki just copy Cultivator-anon's system and start writing. Which rework is this one, the 8th?

Damn you were right, 13 really is the maximum

This rework was actually my favourite, it gave the game the proper complexity a cultivation power system system should have.

So if when is the full update? I really wanna try these new mechanics but when there is also so new story elements to go through ofc. I will go to the madhouse if I repeat this game for like the thousands time. I wish there were some kind of skipping ahead mechanics

Me too buddy me too, My guess is that the update is releasing at the end of november as Nicky has said that the lastest sneak peek is one of the last he will release before the update.

I just make a lot of protected save files, you should too though they can get messy and disorganized.

I do believe me, but after having a phone I didn't even touch my laptop once since like a 7 months and I'm pretty sure it would take me a good 3 hours to find where I hide my saves since I lost all memory of my files places and basically my own laptop has become foreign to me, sighhhhhh

OH man... That's gonna take a while for sure but what is more 15 days anyway, and it is not like I didn't wait 7 years for anything new about devil may cry, so that should be easy

You reminded me of the dark times when we had to wait an actual year for a POMA update. I am still waiting for Sekiro 2 or Bloodborne 2 to be released.

Holy molly I still have no clue how this new system works, is it explained in the beta? Like for ex which strand is it equivalent to early refining or great circle like the system before

Ahem, what exactly are we refining again?

I haven't tried it so I can't tell you my view on it, but reworking the system so many times just means that Niki has no idea what to do with it, he's just throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks.
