We Play WHERE WINDS MEET! - New Hexi Expansion is OUT NOW!

Quick Overview

The team successfully defeated the Grand Protector of Anxi in the Hexi expansion's Sandstorm area after multiple attempts, utilizing the new Umbrella martial art mechanics to counter boss attacks, and the expansion, which features three distinct chapters (Jade Gate Pass, Liangzhou, and Qinchuan), is confirmed to be completely free for all players.

Key Points: The Hexi expansion for Where Winds Meet launched on March 6th UTC, introducing three new chapters: Jade Gate Pass (desert), Liangzhou (ice fields/floating islands), and Qinchuan (grasslands). The presenters partnered with Where Winds Meet to showcase the expansion's new content, emphasizing the diverse environments and the free-to-play nature of the update. New Martial Arts were introduced for the Umbrella and Rope Dart weapons, with the Umbrella mechanics being demonstrated extensively, including its ability to deflect attacks and pull enemies. The team struggled initially against the boss, the Grand Protector of Anxi, in the fiery, desert-like Jade Gate Pass area, ultimately being defeated before successfully learning the counter mechanics. Boss weaknesses were revealed: For the Wandering Ark (a large tree/ship boss in the snow area), players must shoot the Moon Lantern when it consumes Qi, and for the Grand Protector of Anxi, players must use the umbrella for parries and avoid getting crushed. The presenters expressed high praise for the graphical fidelity, describing the environments (especially the glowing city and the moonlit snowscape) and combat as visually stunning. The expansion's structure involves three chapters unlocking sequentially over three months, starting with Jade Gate Pass.
