Where Winds Meet

I was watching a streamer yesterday doing a sponsored stream and he mentioned a patch today is going to increase level cap and add some new weapon/sect options

104 hours and still enjoying it.

I played some Assassin's Creed style camp clearing yesterday. Use the Invisibility and the Touch of Death Mythic Arts and cleared the camps without being seen. It was fun, but I prefer clearing them fighting since combat is so much fun.

I finally got the Treasure Hunter passive, and now the closest Chest is highlighted on the mini map. I found so MANY chest I had missed in place I had been to already. It's a testament to how good they are at hiding stuff.

Some of these side quests are just awesome. I wish the localization was better so they would be less "corny".

This is probably going to end up in my top 3 games of all time, even with all the little issues. Seeing all the content that China received in the last year is sorta exciting, knowing there's more to come. Like the map is more than double the size it is right now.

Does the game eventually open up? I tried it yesterday and got up to the guy at the very start who gives you the bow book. It was a slog just to get that far though. I hate games where you have to spend 90% of the first 5 hours watching cutscenes and story shit and tutorials. Just let me play a fucking game.

The summary on cutscene skips is actually a nice feature - I watch a good chunk of them, but some are pretty cheesy and it is nice to not actually miss storywise what happened

I am like ~20 hours in. Almost L50 and have done like 1 tiny part of the MSQ. Instead I've just been finding bosses to bonk and just doing random side quests (some of which are really nice). Only had to skip one boss so far (wolf chick) cause I was like L20 something and she was doing the 1 shots and I had no patience for it. The boss fights overall are decently challenging on legendary diff. None of them stand out for the genre, at least for me, but they make you work for the wins esp if non optimized/underleveled etc =O

Too bad no gauntlets probably for awhile, I wanted to do the kung fu monk build

I finally ditched the first area and went to kaifeng. Was like 90% completion for the most of the first region without looking up anything, but I want to start getting some of the mystic arts and other weapons. Killed 14 bosses on legendary so far. Tian was definitely the worse. Took me way too many tries with most of the failures being in p3 with my mediocre damage letting him get off too many abilities between posture breaks. I've not really upgraded any mystic arts/inner ways/weapons as I don't know what I want to play yet so that isn't helping either. It's self inflicted extra extra hard mode >_>

Still surprised as how good this actually is once you get into it. It's the best parts of so many adventure rpgs. The main story is actually pretty good and the side quests (encounters and lost chapters) have been really great.

Edit to add that kaifeng and the night market are insane quality. Super detailed and fantastic art/lighting in the market.
