Stay VERY far away from this game if you don't have a large wallet that you don't care if it gets smaller.

Might seem fun, but what you're actually getting is a poorly-translated, half-baked Chinese grinder with a few open-world elements, most of them are broken or missing. The biggest offender is their "Tornado" weather event which allows you to get some pretty good skills, but the mechanics are very broken both in the tornados themselves AND the npcs you must fight during it to earn a small amount of the items needed to earn it.

Brought up a lot of the points to GMs over my 2 months playing this game, all I heard was "I'll tell a developer about it" which is Snail speak for "♥♥♥♥ you."


If the broken, missing, and poorly translated elements don't persuade you from staying very far away, this game is HEAVILY reliant on Pay-To-Win, and they can't even do THAT right.

VERY FEW martial arts "skill sets" you can earn in game will be viable in surviving the 100% PvP environment. All of them require large amounts of "Tael" you only earn by either buying them from Snail itself, trading with players that have them (it's THE market currency), or earning them in very small amounts from a small group of in-game events (most of them require you have a VIP status, which is like $10 a month).

The ones you can only get through cash aren't even available through cash anymore. Only the "flavor of the month" newest set they made can be bought, then when the next skill set comes along it vanishes into the void, never to be gotten again.

They USED to have a system where you can buy gift boxes for "Jade Fragments" to trade for these older skills, but Snail took these out of the cash shop and only made them available through "Top-up" events (recent one was $300 real money to get 10 "Ding" (10,000) tael, some items, and 150 jade fragments in order to buy ONE whole complete skill).

The other way is to get the select skill sets in the "Jade Deity" edition sold here, but that's a gamble. You get only 2 skill sets out of the ones available, and you can get duplicates. Sure, you could try selling the duplicates, but some of them fell out of favor in game and no one will buy them in favor of newer sets. Do you REALLY want to gamble on $60? Didn't think so.



Speaking of the Top-Ups, they run those as often as they do maintainance, every weekend. Every time they bait players by hiding something cosmetic or a new skill set they're about to release behind the $300 option, just fishing for suckers, I mean, "players" to buy it.



Let's not get started on the ping. I've never seen a game where I was consistently above 200ms until this game. Would be great if that was just how the game was, but some people are living very close to the server or paying a 3rd party a subscription for lower pings (Like BattlePing) and having 30, 20, 10ms or less. This means if you get in a fight with ANYONE, they're probably gonna have A) A cash set you can't get anymore, B) EXTREMELY overgeared from buying silver taels from Snail, or C) Outping you so hard that you won't get a hit in.



If you hit the "Install" button even after reading this......You're a moron, and Snail welcomes your wallet!
