Not hard to look and see how long I have been on here! I hope you at least getting some free N Coin to defend the outright laziness and greed of NC Soft! Take Care!

Glad to see there's still at the very least some NC Soft staff on the forums Sticking up for them!

I have solo'ed SkySong Isle on both stg 1 and stg 2 Demonsbane and it's not counting as completed on my Soul Bost quest log! Is this happening to anyone else? I really need this to complete Soul Bost. Since they removed Alter of Infinite, and Chimera lab is impossible for me to solo at this time and help with it is nowhere to be found!

Just a question about something you said in this? Why does it bother you ppl so much if someone farms with a bot? Are they not still paying a monthly membership fee for that bot to farm, which helps support the cost of keeping the game going? Or does it mean more to your poor little heart to have fake value in a game than it does to make money to help keep it going for everyone else? I am not against farming bots at all in video games any more than I am against AI in real life!

LMAO I thought it was just me!

It is almost seems impossible for new and returning players to get grip on what and how to do anything in this game! Many are getting frustrated and just quitting again. Why do we need 100's of different upgrade trinkets when one for each slot would work! ( Cash grab? ) Why is it, that it takes 1000's of runs of the same dungeon to acquire things like soul shield parts, that by the time you can get them. You don't need them anymore? Why is everything in the game untradeable? Like don't we want people to get better gear and stuff so they can help with these insane boss fights and aren't scared to pvp! Why doesn't any of the items tell you where to get them? ( I been playing since 2016 and I am still lost most of the time on where to find stuff I need ) Why would I pay for a monthly membership, when everything is cash shop only and untradable, other than junk like naryu coins? I digress on the fact that this will help any at all but, I just hope I am not the only fan of BnS that hates watching it die so slowly knowing simple changes could save it! Not more op bosses and content geared for the elite cash shop crowd. but please boost this post, I would love to see how some of you feel as well! I mean this game needs a balance of PVP and PVE players!

I Came back a month ago with the hopes of seeing a game that had withstood the test of time, but instead was met with a horrible gaming experience! Somehow one of the best games I have ever played and treasured back in 2018, has turned into the most cash shop bound pile of multi-player dependent trash I have ever seen! Now that's saying a lot considering I stuck with Aika online until it was shut down! It seems NC-Soft is either trying to kill this beautiful game on purpose, or they just outright only care to cater to the very top .05% of players/cash shop junkies on here just like Aika did until it killed it! It seems like sometime around 2021 the game went full on sh!t because that looks like when most ppl quit and just walked away! I don't know how ppl could spend so much of their life building something like this game or any other game and not even want the input of the player base it has! This game seems to like the main aspect of any good MMORPG It solo player base! 99% of players of MMORPG's are solo players, yet everything in this game is built around the absolute highest lvl players and gear! No one is going to download a game and send 8k the first day they play it and have 100 friends playing at any given minute of the day to do stuff with hell even having 2 friends on is almost unheard of! nearly every daily quest is for some outlandish op dungeon needing 4 or more near max lvl players with top tier gear! The overuse of crap drops like the worthless coins and everything in the game is UNTERDEABLE so good luck buying a membership and working your gear up to a decent lvl! I mean why is it that the whole game has economy outside of selling and trading gold for NC-Coin! Who thought that was a good model for a game? They could save this game in 2 updates if they wanted to and make profit, but just like G-POTATO they will let it die before they come off their high horse and pray the next one makes more money! I was going to buy A membership but at this point I can see no reason to, Blade and soul has nothing left to offer me as a single solo player other than stress and lack of anything close to fun! The game has become almost unplayable due to its complexity of upgrading gear and skills with no real explanation of how to, or what is needed to do so and where to get it! I did notice the insane amount of hit points everything in the game now has, and the damn instant death timers and health regain mech's of the bosses are a slap in the face to solo players! I hope if anyone who works on this game reads this in full, I would love nothing more than to see this game stay around another 20 years and spend much of my time on it, but if you can't see It's low lvl solo players that will mostly use your products. There's not much help for this game or any other you make! I don't mind buying a membership and maybe dropping an extra $20 here and there. But you all at NC SOFT are just outright going for the bank all at once, and people have wised up to it, and it's killing mmo's left and right! Yes I also know they have done things like soul boost and other stuff like it to help with gear, but what good is that stuff if the game is still absolutely dependent on you cash shopping to upgrade things! In short they need to make the decision to either quickly make the game more geared toward low lvl, low geared, solo pve and pvp players with basic memberships or prepare for the total loss of blade and soul. This is almost word for word what I wrote about Aika online 1 year before the servers where closed! All I am asking is NC-SOFT don't let that be the faith of this game! You all take care of yourselves, But I would not be spending much more cash on this game if I where you guys and I want be spending until I see more solo playable pve stuff on here, I can't even solo the dailies at lvl 60 hm20 nor do I feel like wasting time trying to find a party to do them with! But since my return I highly doubt there's over 5k ppl left playing this game!
