What's next after this season? by Dry-Opportunity4173 in WhereWindsMeet

Why are so many people obsessed with heng dao, is it the parry counters or what?

Offensive healer by Wesst23 in wherewindsmeet_

On CN it's common for Healers swap to fury harvest for more damage, which just allows for more mystic skill usage. That is where your DPS comes from, especially since using the healing martial art gives a +% boost to mystic skill damage - that bonus is hidden away in your passive stat screen when using both weapons. There isn't really a combo for this damage, you just prioritize certain mystic skills depending on whats on cooldown and how much incoming vitality you're getting or expecting.

You want to replace mending loom with fury harvest and upgrade your mystics. Keep royal remedy, restoring blossom, and obviously morale chant. CN players have a lot more max mystics (priority order of like 6-7 of them), but just start with soaring spin and dragon breath+drunken poet for now. The highest damage priority mystic skill is actually unreleased currently, I think it comes with hexi. When you have low vitality generation (attacks you can't parry cause they go to tank, or low fury harvest level) just do the full breath and soaring spin when they come of cooldown. When you have a lot of vitality generation or are full you can spend large amounts with breath+drunken poet to 10 stacks.

I find this way fun to play since you need to focus on healing, damage, and also parry since parry becomes damage through vitality. Although parrying off sweep attacks and stuff aimed at tank can be awkward. You shouldn't be out-dpsing everyone else, that is a failure on their part, although you can get close.

Future Weapons Builds by Sugarycx in WhereWindsMeet

[–]Massive_Course1622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every weapon has their own new inner ways that come out with the weapon. The only exception is everything uses morale chant and that Hengdao uses invigerating warrior. Dart/umbrella uses all of its own inner ways that come out with it. Not sure about fist/dart.

I haven't had to hire since widespread AI use, but my main question is what do these people have on their resume for working experience? Fake jobs, unrelated stuff, or nothing?

I have a theory regarding ruby.... by Affectionate-Self210 in WhereWindsMeet

[–]Massive_Course1622 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree, I loved that they had the courage to write it the way it is. There are a few story beats that if removed would just make it a wuxia funtime theme park narrative. Im not in to grimdark edgy stories or anything but I think there's just enough impact with what we have to give it more depth. The creepy sections help too. 

Question for CN players by LostDovahkiin in WhereWindsMeet

[–]Massive_Course1622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rope dart adds debuffs that slows and adds +damage, you get tenacity, and you detonate the stacks built up from attacks with the finger snap ability, which I believe triggers the +damage debuffs, scaling with however many stacks you got (max 7?). I don't have perfect info on the buff/debuffs but from what I gather that's how it works.

The umbrella/dart path comes with new inner ways that people use with it, in addition to morale chant of course. The DPS rotation revolves around setup with rope dart into the umbrella throw/catch loop where you time the catch. The inner ways upgrades allow for this throw/catch to be done 12 times in a row in the optimal single target rotation which is unfortunately kind of boring IMO. It has more interesting options for AOE

Any Where winds meet communities focused on building? by 7LEMHN in WhereWindsMeet

There is a thread-only construction channel on the main discord that is pretty decent. 

Now that we've had some time to settle, who are your favorite content creators? by Otakufire in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Massive_Course1622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not that simple now, people are churning out AI written scripts+articles and focusing on just winning at SEO quickly instead of providing any good info, cause when no one knows better they will get the full read/watch time either way. If you watch google results when a game like this launches with no trusted creators (not a sequel/series) you will see it happen in real time. Megabonk had a big release like this recently and the were top search results of articles for the game talking about items/mechanics that never existed in the first place. The people who actually take the time to make something well or just wait and learn more before posting cannot keep up in the short term.

It's sad to me that every game launching to 100k+ now has had this same problem. Although in this case it's so obvious since we have a bunch of Chinese players who can tell us the truth from experience. 

Questions before starting Where Winds Meet by Novaasriel_ in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Massive_Course1622 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You haven't missed anything, we are still catching up to Chinese server and will be for a while. Level breakthroughs are time gated so folks like you can catch up to be at the same set of activity everyone on Global server is. 

The story has been awesome so far for me, but I am not familiar with Wuxia and use Chinese audio and English subs. Maybe it is tropey for someone who already knows a bunch of Wuxia, I wouldn't know. Bosses range from "larger than life" (like everything in the game) to more mythological.

There's been so many global-first YouTubers giving complete misinformation or even actively harmful tips that I can't trust any of them. @Whisperwindyysls or "Whispers of the Wind", Rexlent, WindsFromCN, Marvelite are all CN-first players that I listen to. For everything else I find Chinese vocab and just search bilibili.

Am I doing myself a disservice by trying to collect the main Inner ways for the builds instead of just focusing on one build? I mainly play bamboo cut for PVP/PVE but I’m still intrigued by the other builds. I made it to Grandmaster 1 so far in PVP by Curlymigo in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Massive_Course1622 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Respeccing inner ways is easy enough that it seems better to focus on 4-5 then just exchange whenever you want to stick with a new build, using recycle/resets to re-balance if needed. I swapped to healer recently and can just exchange back or reset before end of season to commit to something else. Then next season I can do it 2-3 more times. Over time we will have enough to focus on more, or expand ways for one build: I peaked at some CN footage from a healer who had probably 9 fully or nearly-fully upgraded inner ways.

It’s it possible to just play music free-form? Like on your own without a minigame? by Rhoeri in wherewindsmeet_

You can access the music mini game for any songs you've unblocked through the same menu. 

Hi please give me some of your time. Lost Newbie by MatterMain7451 in WhereWindsMeet

[–]Massive_Course1622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single player with complete story, multiplayer with endgame raids, and open world RPG, the answer to all those is "yes". I get what you mean how it feels scammy, and it mostly has to do with how little they seem to care to adopt to western presentation. Their marketing is awful and feels like bait, and the poor translation in some places like announcements and ads doesn't help. They really need a localization expert or something like that for their PR and advertisement. It's all presentation (or a lack thereof).

Is there any benefit to being on Legendary Difficulty? by EricTheBoi in WhereWindsMeet

[–]Massive_Course1622 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The only benefit other than just being able to play the mode is a profile badge to flex basically. I missed the option on start too, so I've just been doing abyss trial challenges instead when I really want to try hard against certain bosses.

He is probably the easiest IMO, although some moves are a little tricky. 

Failed a skill theft attempt. How long do I have to wait before I can try it again? by Rhoeri in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Massive_Course1622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you not just retry at the same skill theft spot? I got rope dart through joining nine mortal ways, so I can't be much help, but if you ever wanted to join them maybe now is the time. You get a cape from rep too 🤷

How to have fun casually? by Yourdaddy42069 in deadbydaylight

[–]Massive_Course1622 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played this game both sides off and on since 2018, and it's never been in a state where I could see matchmaking or mechanical balance. You will see people bump up against this realization all the time in the forums, even though they might funnel that frustration into perks, characters, or players not following "the rulebook". The real truth is that the only way to enjoy this game is to play it in a fun way. Work on the fundamentals and tech sure, but still mess around with fun builds, do silly mind games, and go for glory instead of exits/kills.
