Story:
China is in the midst of a bloody civil war. From the countless skirmishes, three leaders stand poised to take leadership and unite the country under one banner. Will it be Cao Cao of Wei, the ruthless Lui Bei of Shu or Sun Quan of Wu?

As a soldier in training you have no affiliations, it is up to you to pick a side and lead them to victory. Determine your play style on the fly with your choice of 18 historic weapons and ride your trusty steed into fierce battles. Non-combat professions will allow access to limited resources not found anywhere else, but make haste, the battle is upon us!

Rise through the ranks and lead your loyal army on your quest to end one of the bloodiest periods in history and unite all of China.

So, yup, another Perfect World game. The CBT was said to start some time in August but seems they've finished it up for mid July. The game is based on the romance of the Three Kingdoms or battle at Red Cliff.

There are 18 weapons within the game that you are able to choose from when you create your character. At level 60 you are able to take on a sub-class once you've mastered your main weapon into God status. You can, technically master all 18 weapons but you can only have a main and sub at any given time. Your skills will remain but will be unusable while equipped with other weapons, the only thing that does remain is the passives of each weapon.

The game is heavily PvP based where you choose to side with one of the three factions: Wu, Wei, and Shu. The battles are, more or less, based off of the real story but the outcome may vary depending on the players.

Going to be playing this while waiting for Forsaken World... the weapon systems sounds like fun. There is a user on forums who has played the Chinese version of the game helping people with their builds. Chose to use Glaive/Ring Blade combo for high HP, attack, dodge, crits, and AoE capabilities. *0*

so flashy *_*

don't know what weapons i'd try. maybe bow and gauntlets. wish the video showed more though. really looked like it only showed 1 or 2 things for each weapon and just repeated them from different angles.

I can't believe they made a game out of this... ._.


It sounds so... historical and educational...

oh man, they mentioned lubu, i'm practically required to go halberd now.

Lol

A lot of people were like "Dynasty Warriors!" I hear bow is good as a subclass rather than a main because of their low HP. You still get the same skills. :3

ooooo flashy light *o* looks good~ i signed up~

omggg. Makes me want to try. I want to try War Fans. *_*

And Rings.


And Glaive/Halberd/Mace (since I can't really tell the difference between the three).

I watched this old Chinese drama once and everybody in that show used glaive...

Id use hook sword/ring sword and hatchets as range

Oh hell yes.

.

Hmm, nice fireworks show there.

omomgomgomg i really want ring blade!!! and charmer!! and bow! and staff! and scepter! and and and EVERYTHING!!! @_@

I'm thinking of maybe a ring blade/bow combo, seems balanced, ranged/melee... aoe attack and crit.

Is there any way to change your e-mail tied to your account or do you just have to register again?

I think you have to register again.

EDIT: Checked and yeah, no way to change e-mail.

omg I love ring like weapons! Always reminds me of ToS. I also like the idea of fighting with fansxD. Not very common.

Too bad they don't have fans that shoot laser beams. That would be win.

Totally Dynasty Warriors, loved button mashing... <3

I'm torn between Halberd and Glaive now and a Bow or Ring Blade sub. :s Luckily you can potentially master all weapons.

Here's some gameplay videos:

why cant they just get a scythe like the Grim Reaper that would be win and your armor in a lvl is like Grim Reaper

Looks awsome! Wouldn't be able to choose from all those awsome weapons though <.<

Wasn't to interested in this till the gameplay vids you posted loveless, looks somewhat different of an interface ahah... god how I hate PW's interface.

Playing the Cubizone version to get a feel of the game.

The leveling is easy it's just purely questing and minimal grind. Lots of walking around at first but it gets better once you get through your job change, or so I hear.

What's different from what I usually play is the controls. It's WASD and QE keys (not sure what it is exactly). It's not just button mash and kill mobs... you have to be facing the enemy, watch the cooldown and such. Needs a lot of getting used to but quite interesting.

Tried to rep that post but ah welll, to drunk to make any sense other then fuuuck wweeee ahahah, whats CB date for this? and pls link rme to the mal;aysion version

The Malaysian version is crappy to say the least. Hasn't been updated since forever and lots of things are not translated BUT at least you can get the feel for the game before.

CB starts on Tuesday, July 13th.

Yeah they're a pretty fail publisher, I played their PW long before PWI was out.

Not too bad, mine went up to 300k/s now...

Though some were hitting 2mb. :<

Boo...

Well, maybe if I didn't have games going...
