Players are pinging you because they are free to answer on the forums. Also they are answering you because clearly you seem to not have any idea of what you are talking about. Especially since the DPS of most players will drop significantly when they cant use edit to automate / remove certain skill functions. as for gear difference, you can spend money to push ahead a bit, you can farm to upgrade and get there. You can get all the gear you want from playing the game and the market. Also these aren't "randoms" answering you, but players that are playing BnS since the beta.

Well you wont get a answer from them because they will never disclose details of a patch before its release, especially regarding class balance and anti-cheats.

Right now there is no working bypass for the KR client, meaning there are no xml or even client mods that work there. If we get the same setup, they will not be working for NE/EU either. Pve is completely playable without edits. If you are bad in playing your class and you cant play without the cheats that is a you problem and not a class problem. There is also an update with skill balance down the line which makes some specs better than 3rd specs. These are basic things that already were answered by many players based on what's happening in KR and these are changes that we will not be able to avoid and will get them 100%.

@Hime Can you scrap the leaderboards for Thornwind Cavern challenge mode? Groups are using the super jump xml edits to cheat mechanics and get high ranked scores for it.

You could not be more far off with this. As someone who actually worked on BnS private servers, that is not how this game handles character data and equipment and stats. It all depends how certain games are coded and if you really worked for a gaming company these are the basics you should know. Specifically talking about Blade and Soul, the only thing the data file contains, are client settings. All character data is being pulled from other tables. As for the region transfer service, NCSoft has no obligation to provide such a service. It it irrelevant whether other publishers do it or not, this is a different game, with a different publisher and they have different services they offer.

and VOLUNTARY system. Which means you don't need to upgrade to mythical if you don't want the RNG. It is also not needed to clear any of the current content. I want to see how you will complain about the new upcoming accessories with the RNG stats drop from ancient dungeons if you don't get the stats you want after a few drops. I prefer to keep it as is and just add more ways to get fusion stones or remove it entirely.

You had 7 days prior to run it and after maintenance you have another 7 days to run it. If you did not do it thats a "you" problem. You had from 14:00 tuesday until 6:00 AM Wednesday to run it (it takes literally less than 5 min to do that dungeon). If you did not, that is again a YOU problem. Thats WEEKLIES which you had 7 days to run and do, if you didnt that is purely on YOU. Again, had since 14:00 the day prior till 6:00 AM on wednesday, and then after maintenance ended up until 14:00 the next day to get them. Plenty of time. Not to mention the ToS you accept clearly say they can bring the game down for maintenance at any time they chose and you agree to it each time you logon. Most of the things you listed come from lazyness rather than an actuall issue to do.

PHoenix costume and weapon were TRove / rng box only. chanes it will come back just to be purchased directly are very very small.

As probably most of you here know there is a tool which people can pay for, that allows you to use auto-combat from Nyraka in places where it shouldnt be used. Like moon refuge and many others. @Hime Will there be consequences for players using this paid exploit as it is clearly not intended to be used where its not already made available by the game itself.

Hi, @Hime Can something be finally done about those players who use a Global Cooldown Edit to get their skills out faster or Edits that automatically use your TAB or F roll preventing you from being airborned for example? There are many many more like this and this gives them a very unfair advantage in PVP.

And now soulstone market is going crazy xD

I hope permanent bans. Its not just the fact they can get any outfit they want from the previous rng boxes that people ahd to spend money on, they also get unlimited pet pods from this.

I certainly hope those who exploit it will either be permanently banned or have all the profit they made from this removed. It is beyond ridiculous how they are getting unlimited Pet pods from this....not to mention those who spent actual money on getting teh rng box costumes are now completely ...

you will still be able to explore the specialization change you currently are at, you just wont be able to switch to the other till you max them out. As for the badge exchange makes sense. Because you do not loose anything when your badge is not awakened. If it were upgraded you loose out on a lot of work materials and time. It works the same as soul swap, weapon swap...only at max or specific stages. So...the game should change because your personal life rendered you unable to play as much? *gasps* Its like swapping soul and weapon. Only certain stages. Swapping unrefined accessories would render any raid useless and that is not the intention. You will still need to farm for the one your spec uses, then when you upgrade it as reward you can swap between specs. Makes perfect sense. Yes but the thing is we do not know yet what patch version we will get. We might be getting a changed / tweaked patch where those new badges are not useful yet...we will know more on this as we get closer to the date i think.

If i remember good thy bug out if you collect them between a certain time period. Not sure tho. They do not go into your inventory, they go into your reward box where you need to take them out from. Just like when you buy items from the hongmoon store.

Orrr...you could simply help them by clicking on the spammer and pressing the "REPORT" option.

IDk what server you p0aly oiin but when i press F11 i see 20 pages of ranked players....per each BG...asside from that, Name me 3 games, 3 MMO RPG games which are also based on the east where there is no grind and then we can talk. Truth be told you only need maxed gear for the new raid. Everything else is clearable without it. Si if you want to upgrade now...you have to grind no way around it, or you can wait, because with time there will be a discount, thats how it always is. The way i see it people are spoiled and want most things for free without working for it. A game is as much fun as YOU make it to be, if you dont have friends to play with, a clan, people to play with you, you will never have fun in a game like this. BnS never had and never will have an actual end game and grind is what this game is based on, grind and pvp. The sooner you accept it the easier it will be for you.

you have no idea what you are actually talking about..... compared to 1-1,5 years ago now its sooo much easier to get materials and to upgrade than it was before. The price ration from gold to ncoin was much much higher so buying gold was very expensive. Lag and FPS issues are something else. not to mewntion 90% of lag issues is your own ISP, as for fps, its a big part of what CPU oyu have and most people have bad ones so its only naturally they will esperience fps loss. I am not saying the games has no problems because its far from the truth, what i am saying is people overdramatize things so much that its beginning to be pathetic. I actually have one friend who started playing i believe it was what....4-6 months ago and he is not at aransu 5 with maxed accessories and Hongmoon heart. He just needs to upgrade his soul more and he has not spent a dime on the game asside the monthly premium fee. You can easily upgrade and catch up, as you can farm everything you need in-game, it will just be a bit more time consuming. And if you do that the only gold you will need is for the upgrade costs as you will have everything else from farming.

i actually know at least 6 players who are free to play and are currently at aransu stage 6, with maxed out BT accessories, bracelet, tiget soul, legendary mystic and soul badge. And they did not spend money on this game. well one of them bought 10 rng boxes, but still...everything else they acomplished themselves, by participating in events, taking part in clan runs and runs with friends. So it is possible and perfectly doable. When they need help they ask for it and people gladly help. If you behave like a jerk no one will help you.

This is a korean MMO, if grind is not for you then this game obviosuly isnt either. I do not know about your kids but over here kids actually go away in the summer to camps and other activities they almost never play video games in the summer . Arena is dead because there is nothing worth there to get, BG is far from dead, people queue like crazy when there is frenzy going on. And about the "waiting for new patch" first read my above reply again and when you actually understand what you read then we can tackle this topic further. BnS is all about ffarming, always was and walways will be. If you expet something else then you are really jsut wasting your time here, the essence of this game is grind like all other korean mmo's.

In all honesty....there really is no problem. This is a korean mmo, its mean to be grindy, that means you should farm your materials and use it to progress. Let me give you an example: players complain about moonstone crystals, i myself used up all i had to upgrade my weapon, and after a week, by just doing my normal dailies and farming basin for 1-2h a day i am at 250+ moonstone crystals again. I farm ST because it gives me elysian orbs very often. I do 6v6, and quite often there arent even many whales there so you can actually win, then again i do have low tier pvp gear so i am not a complete liability to people and that gets me 50+ moonstones per 2-3 days. the gold nerf on weeklies isnt even that significant, since you can easily make that gold back with approx 5-10 ST runs.

They could have quit for multiple reasons. I see daily actually new players joining, even joining my clan. so as many as them leave, new ones come to play. Truth be told this game does not have a real end game, so most players take a break once they achieved what they wanted and then come back once a new patch hits. Its always been like this. People dont do HH, DD or RT simply because there are easier and faster alternatives for dailies, and those 3 dungeons are simply not rewarding. Thats why people spam ST because it is currently one of the best profitable dungeons. I myslef rather do Basin daily (thats 1) Mushin20 / Outlaw island (thats 2) and say shattered masts / TOI (thats 3) and tada dailies done without going through the F8 lobby cancer. Does that mean the game is dying because people choose to complete dailies differently? No. Servers are still crowded, more than enough lobbies in F8....multiple channels inc ertain areas also prove there are a ton of players here still so this game is not dying. so many people shout "oh ima quit because blablabla" and then long behold they are still there playing. Just cause someone says something , especially in faction chat you should never believe it since that chat is 99% full of crap. No one is defending ncsoft here however people that actually are objective, acknowledge the fact they asside for some bad decisions, they actually made a lot of good changes going forward. You can say the game is bleeding / dying the moment we wont be getting any new content, as for now i would say this game is still one of the most populated and active ones.

This game is far from dead. Plus it summer, people take vacation, plus some are waiting for a new patch , but no point asking if the game is dying because its not. Wasnt dying 2 years ago, isnt dying now.,

No it wont. Its safe to turn that off.

I am curious why they say that since if i remember correctly, Jonathan said already a few times that a region transfer will never happen.
