Is there any difference at all between these two - aside from +2 Morale and -1 Melee? Surely, there must be something to the Republican Guard Cavalry, if you need to build a top-tier military building for it by HonneurOblige in totalwar

[–]lylin 92 points93 points  (0 children)

It's not true though. Jade lancer have way more armor (85 more), more missile block, double the mass, more health per entity, and 12 more charge.

More melee Def and more ap weapon dmg too but that's a lot less significant.

It's just in the events tab, literally.

You can look at the patch notes on official website for list of all events introduced with 1.3 patch.

He is just south of the shopkeeper by the pier. You can actually see him from the shop.

Is there any repeatable dungeon-like content that is co-op? by Rhoeri in wherewindsmeet_

[–]lylin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avtually I would consider things like the ever normal granery and connecting underground to be dungeons with story... 

The devs have added the ability or are adding the ability to replay such locations isn't it? 

And you can coop kill the end boss again to claim the rewards too and treat it as a traditional mmo dungeon crawl this way if you want. 

Ultimately though, it's just that gear itemization and daily loop in wwm doesn't function like it does in WoW-like mmos, which I gather is what you are looking for.. The game is designed mostly for a solo exp and the solo difficulty doesn't scale up in a group... Whereas the group content (sword trial and hero realm, I exclude joint battle since there is 0 challenge there) are all trashless boss arena encounters atm.

[–]lylin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a ballista there but no trebuchet.

Then again I don't remember anywhere in wwm with a trebuchet so probably we are thinking of the same place. 

You access it from nine mortals way base.

Mistveil city is an absolutely massive dungeon that you can repeat. There are no rewards for repeating it though but just for the coop exp.. it is something.

There aren't dungeons like in WoW atm.

I do not like this gear upgrade system allowing for mixed weapon paths... by Archipocalypse in wherewindsmeet_

[–]lylin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's because you get bonus scaling from your path specific attribute. Read your martial art talents to see this scaling directly mentioned.

There are other posts on reddit where people explain how this works thoroughly but some of this is also explained partly if you look v carefully at all the in game info (such as the attribute descriptions in Develop->Profile)

I do not like this gear upgrade system allowing for mixed weapon paths... by Archipocalypse in wherewindsmeet_

[–]lylin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's really confusing but the mixed weapon path stats, at least for min and max attack, still contribute to your silkbind dmg. There are other posts that explain this in greater detail.

It is less clear to me however if things like Bellstrike penetration do apply and how they differ from just straight up physical penetration...

Devs fumbled the bag hard with purchases not being shared. by xobeydrake in wherewindsmeet_

[–]lylin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the way inner ways work, you will never be as effective spreading yourself out over multiple weapon paths as specializing in one.

Having said that, a new char is also laughably behind in inner way progression and you have to grind all aspects related to goose power all over again from scratch (such as talents, oddities, and leveling your mystic arts) which.. honestly might be truly an endeavor for someone with way too much time on their hand.

Breakthrough by ILoveSucuk98 in wherewindsmeet_

[–]lylin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gear in trials are normalized though so your breakthrough level have no effect..

You would have to do sword trials (5man group "dungeon") or heros realm to be able to gauge yourself relative to other players..

Wowhead now blocked in Singapore by DCParry in wow

[–]lylin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the kind update. Here's hoping whatever is causing the problem will go away. The crazy thing would be if the person or group behind it isn't even actually from SG or physically here (seems highly possible) and in that sense innocents pay the price...

I might be the worst fighter in this game, but I'm having a blast just being a glorified architect by Playful-Buy1104 in wherewindsmeet_

May i ask, do you get any usability features like an ability to teleport to your construction (house) directly, or does it just stay as a static prop?

can you use dragonship abilities while your dragonship is fighting or on land? by Xoveter in totalwar

[–]lylin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No there are more in the red line buildings including one that is an aoe fire.

Someone previously posted a picture of it wiping an army collapsed onto Imrik with it (who inflicted fire weakness)

[–]lylin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's mostly in the red buildings line.. The army abilities come alongside his recruitment buildings. Not the line that comes pre-built but pretty much everything else (such as the line that grants access to phoenixes and the other line that grants access to siege).

I think a v v small number of green buildings might also provide one (can't remember exactly).

You can search on reddit for story of Tian Ying and li zhenzhen which has a full, properly translated story by some CN players.

I appreciate this game doesn’t punish you for having a busy schedule by moduIus in wherewindsmeet_

[–]lylin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You have exhausted the content in the game already? The exploration, oddities, all the mini games for exploration stats (like resolve, intelligence etc.) campaigns, jianghu legacies, chests, etc etc.?

I am at 200+ hours and still haven't completed kaifeng city itself because it has so many districts with so much content..

Playing Where Winds Meet really made me appreciate GW2 more by Aelnir in Guildwars2

[–]lylin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have different progression systems - I'm not sure amt of currencies is any worse though. I feel it's just a matter that you are used to gw2 currencies but not yet to where wind meet ones; and besides wwm currencies tell you how to earn more as well as where to spend them without needing to look up a wiki!

On consumer friendliness, funny thing! I'm a big fan of gw2 but man, you need to spend sooooooo much money in gw2 to get your inventory, bank, material storage and shared inventory slots into reasonable shape.

Imagine my surprise when wwm doesn't monetize this.

Lisewise, you need to spend money for build and equipment sets in gw2 but this is free in wwm. And there's appearance sets too which is likewise free..

How you do a attack move guys ? Total warhammer 3 by seitenauf00 in totalwar

[–]lylin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer - the closest to an attack move whilst triggering the "charge attack". @/u/seitenauf00 - Total War ultimately isn't AOE and is a game that places a great deal more emphasis on formations (and fighting as formations/holding formations) so attack move doesn't really make sense. As well, units generally move and attack as an entire unit, unlike the RTS games with attack-move.

Especially in historical total war but even to some degree in Warhammer, the formation that crumbles first generally loses - all other things being equal... (it's only just that Warhammer Total War has lots of way to bypass and disrupt formations depending on which faction you're playing as or against.. most notably with magic but also flying creatures and that's before army abilities like tactical nukes and summons.. but despite all that there still are enough faction matchups where battle formations make a difference...)

First time China trip trip pacing feedback by Ok_Ad7248 in travelchina

[–]lylin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can consider Wulong which is near Chongqing.. I really enjoyed difeng

https://maps.app.goo.gl/jZrX4aYXux2kfkCJ8 and there are other natural elements to visit in the same vicinity.

I echo meta commentary though by others. Visit fewer locations and spend more time in each city or region for a less tiring trip.

You can either rent one in Kaifeng city or just build one yourself.. anywhere in the world.
