>FAQ
Q: Is the game P2W?
A: On CN, no. Real money can only be used on the battlepass, skins, gacha (fancier skins) and mounts (some have special effects like slightly higher gathering radius).
Q: Is this a shill thread?
A: Yes, all posts ITT are inorganic and were made by our glorious comrades in the CCP NEETOPS division.
Q: Is the story any good?
A: Certified WUXIAKINO.
Q: MMOlite?
A: Yes, that'd be an apt description. While you can do almost all content solo, in the multiplayer mode you'll be able to participate in bosses, dungeons, raids, guilds, PvP 1v1, 3v3, 5v5, 10v10 jailbreak where you can break your criminal friends out of jail, 30v30, and group activities such as prison breaks, chinese chess, mahjong, poker, wrestling, drinking, a healslut faction with penalties if you do not heal enough people, a plague that can spread to NPCs and players that severely hinders them and forces players to ask around for a healer and ERP to your heart's content.
Q: Housing?
A: Yes, instanced but with a lot of freedom.

So there's still a chance they could turn it into a p2w fest in the global release?

It's usually the other way around, in CN they get to sell a lot of power because the chinks love it while in the west consumers won't accept it.

The developers said no, I think they talked about it in the live they made yesterday https://www.youtube.com/live/2cxhuAwDFl4
The monetization will probably be exactly like the one in CN.

Dropping some useful information videos to help people get an idea of how it works outside of the single player/co-op mode. Kinda hard to find good vids since hardly any westerners are covering it outside of the most recent "WOOOOW YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS YOU'RE NOT READY" clickbait streamerslop

Can we edit our character afterwards or do I need to waste an autistical amount of time at the start?
This is very important (for my sanity)

I don't really remember where I heard about it but I think you can even change your gender later on, but of course it'll probably be a paid thing.

It costs real life money to change your character's face or gender. There's an early main quest where an NPC lets you do it again if you want. Apparently you can do it with in-game currency instead if you buy the battle pass or monthly pass or whatever it's called, it's worth about $5 I think but the price might be different in NA. Idk how much the ticket itself will cost but I'm guessing around $5-10.

I heard that one particular outfit that also gives you a boat house costs upwards of $20k but I don't know how reliable that is. And even so, I really doubt it'd reach the west with that price.

I recall seeing a gacha store for weapon effects/skins. Are those purely cosmetic or have better stats?
Anonymous No.2051556 [Report] >>2051557 >>2051561
>>2051545
Ridiculously expensive, couple hundred bucks. I know the weapon glows run upwards of 600 dollars I believe. There's also basic paid costumes that aren't flashy like the premium ones and are more around 15 to 30 bucks according to china prices. Hair color is also expensive, basic colors like black and brown shades are the poorfag ones but you're going to be draining your wallet to get white hair or any bright color.

It's for the whales, the game still has basic paid costumes and weapon skins for people to buy for pretty standard MMO prices. It costs 600 to pity the weapon effects but you could get RNG carried like this guy. I'm not paying into this shit at all but still, if it helps fund the game and it isn't p2w and there are still cosmetic options for people like me who don't dump hundreds into video games cosmetics then I'm okay with it.

Yeah basically it is priced so normal people will go "wow that is a retardedly bad deal" and ignore it, meanwhile a few whales piss all their money away on gambling.

Hey I'm fine with it kek I'm coming from bdo and I'm tired of putting up with the game being designed around whales who spend hundreds of dollars for +2 stats just so they can do it again 8 more times. At least here the existence of whales doesn't actively ruin the game and its development philosophy in regards to content.

You can, actually. The number doesn't have to be chinese, but has to work so you can receive the confirmation SMS.

Nuke korea first, they had a million chances to do the same thing. Make a fun action combat rpg with both a quality main story, fun and engaging distraction content and multiplayer content in a relatively immersive world, avoid powercreeping all of it into uselessness and replacing it with shittier content. That's literally it. Their greed prevented them every single time.

It's almost as if a game could implement and be inspired by more than one thing, incredible huh?
>whats stopping the devs
Nothing, but the game was released over a year ago in China and nothing of sorts happened. It could always happen, but it's unlikely. If you're that distrustful either don't play the game or just don't buy anything, it's a free to play game.
