When I park a toon in an area in ebonrealm, it used to be that my character would fight ANY mobs near it. But now it seems it has been limited to a certain zone. Even if the mob is 2 meters away, the character ignores it and goes back to the area where it was originally parked, and then it attacks the mobs near that zone.
Why was this change not mentioned in the patch notes?
in the screenshot below you see my character RUNNING away from the mobs attacking her.
Oh and when i manually attack a mob while the AI is turned on, the AI tries to run away from the mob im manually attacking. Something is not right here.
can you please fix the AI back to what it was before the patch?

I aint doing the event. For me its a blessing because I can focus on other things in the game. Its great to take breaks from events because otherwise that leads to burnouts and ultimately not wanting to play at all.
Using this time to gem my alts since they are the main ones feeding my main resources.

I agree with ferals, there should be more ways to complete the weeklies. Thrones of Oblivion could have been added as well since that raid is still a bit of a challenge but it is doable. Would also give people an excuse to make more parties for it since these days waiting for a party sometimes takes an hour or two.
But this recent change is not friendly for new players or players who need to upgrade their weapons. How are people who are still in aransu or Grand celestial supposed to get their weapon upgrades now?
I am sorry but as a Vet player who played since launch, this is a bad decision. The only other way to complete weeklies is 6v6 Bg's but new players get discouraged from entering there because it is mostly whales or extremely high geared players.
Just my five cents. Game has enough grinding. When a game starts to feel like a Job, it stops being fun.

The game runs perfectly fine on a RX480 It even runs fine on my crappy work laptop so....idk where you got that "requirement" from, but its a complete overstatement.
(given if you want fancier visuals, yes a better video card will be needed)
T tried it on 3 different Pc's a crappy laptop, my old desktop and my new desktop.
Roughly speaking, at least from my experience so far i do see it run better than our current live one. And i cam comparing the UE4 64bit to our UE3 64bit without any modifications.
Areas where our client dips in performance, on the UE4 version everything seems more stable. Now, i am not going to lie, i am a bit disappointed in how this turned out but i cant deny it does run smoother, but don't expect some amazing miracle and performance will depend still on the processor you are running, albeit seems a bit less than currently.
Im running bns on 1050 GTX EVGA (not ti though). Will it run fine with UE4 upgrade?

I mean....some might, yes, but i am sorry to say this, they are upgrading their product and moving forward, it is not their job to worry about whether someone upgrades their hardware or not. If they had to worry about that we wouldn't be getting half the features.
I know what you mean, but from what i see the only games that have that option are the ones which were specifically developed with dx11 and then later upgraded to dx12. BnS is essentially 2 generations behind.
Ach ok, well, tbh, there was a bigger chance to0 have nvidias rather than microsofts xD.
although reshade has a ray tracing filter than can be applied to even the current bns, and it works pretty great, however certain objects get a strange shadow.
It very much would, but they would not implement this half way through their development cycle. I think best bet is we will get it like a lot of other games post UE4 launch with an update.
I think requirements will not change much. But you cant compare BnS to Apex Legends. in BnS the world is far more detailed than in Apex, plus both games are intended for different things. I think the upgraded client will require a minimum of 4GB of ram at the very least. Also who knows if we will even keep the currect 32/64 bit options. the new client might only be fully 64bit with multi-core support. This is something we will have to see with KR. Luckily i got an account there so ill have a look and try myself just for the look and feel.
I see, but this might be a chrome issue, since i am not using chrome, it is literally the only browser out of all that i hate using for what it does, but it might also have to do with the game not running in true fullscreen. Does it also happen if you activate true fullscreen?
For the rest....i really hope we will get a lot of QoL things that we now need edits for, but honestly i am not holding my breath. Since the times needed for those things are essentially part of the "look and feel" as annoying as it may be.
any updates @Grimoir?

Was wondering, if instead of every 6 months, call 2 arms could be every 2 months?
it actually also gets f8 more active :).

Was wondering if there will be an event where the dungeons were nerfed for a whole month which made them soloable like the call to arms event a few months back. Was hoping for some news on this.

Hi, sorry for the trouble. But The patch broke the Flamewave Wings. I thought it was just me but other people are having the same problem. You can check for yourself in showroom and try to equip the wings to see how it looks and it doesn't appear to be equipped. Can any Dev confirm that this is being fixed? Those wings are extremely expensive.
yea the problem is within the code. Checked to see if more were having the same problem.
Can any Dev or Mod's help?

Here is my 5 cents. If people bought these items from the AH and did NOT exploit the npc affected, they should have been able to keep the items since its wasnt an exploit to buy from AH directly. They still spent hard earned Gold (which is still currently nerfed in the game) to buy those items, even the tortoise outfit which was being sold through AH and people bought also got removed. How many players lost up to1k gold buying it?. The buyer should not be punished. But hey all I can really say at this point is express my disappointment. This was poorly handled when the error wasn't the players fault, but the fault of nc's coding team.
I know its not your fault either @Hime and you are trying your best to keep the situation from going out of control. But this was not correctly handled.

Before i could get a few spectral gem chests in a few hours but now it takes forever to get one to drop. If it was nerfed why? Sorry I can't help but feel a bit frustrated right now. Is there any chance to increase the drop rates before the event is over?

Step 1 Solo Queue Iron tech Forge
Step 2 farm the npc's before the first boss.
Step 3 before facing the boss get out and reset dungeon
Rinse and repeat

Well i don't know, im not their manager, after all for any their decision profit will be key factor, or lets say their assessment how much they will lose depending on what they will do. And tbh I don't care at this point because they already lost one long time paying customer, and im pretty sure many more. This is not only thing that is annoying for me. Way they handle this can only influence if i will eventually come back and play again if they fix their mismanagement of game or not.
The only solution i see is to patch up the merchant/ fix the prices and just let it go. This could have been avoided if the roll back was done within 24 hours. But its too late to do anything about it now. There are positive sides to what is happening though, i ask that you explore what that positive is before making a choice about quitting. I havent seen the marketplace at reasonable prices in years. It can help new players the way it is now.

Yes roll-back wont happen simply because they wont have balls to do it, yes it would cause rage. And yes i would ask people to accept that loss :). If you playing this game for years i dont see how one week can be so important.
Because its closest thing to some fair solution. They cant ban people for this, they cant selectively revert only consequences of this, and just leaving it so sink in breaks essence of how mmo games function and ruins any possible trust in company forever.
The other option is to simply fix the merchant and to move on. The only real negative side to this whole mess is that it hurts the whales egos. But look at how the economy is booming and also how Gold has VALUE again. Sure it wont last forever and eventually things will be inflated again. But as it is now, its actually a HUGE Gold sink which sorta fixes nc's past error where whales cashed in a past event.
Does this really hurt nc soft itself though? Im looking at the pros and cons of the situation. It brought back alot of players and it also made pet pods available at cheaper prices in AH. With the Gold nerfs in previous patch, this sorta fixes alot of problems. I mean we can't deny the positive side to what appears to be a negative.

Well they have no way of handling it and it wont happen. Players will get cucked. Only ncoin purchases should be refunded imo. But at least it will be fair and equal cucking of all players that will give some hope that in future similar errors (that will sure happen) will be handled more properly.
Sorry but no, people will rage quit. Especially those that farmed over 3k gold in msp. I would be one of those that quit. You have no idea how annoying farming pet gems and msp over and over is. Its TIME spent through manual labor. You're asking people to accept that loss? I sure as hell wont.
its TOO LATE for a rollback

No, it is not too late for roll back. I'm playing this game for 4 years, I wont die for one week rollback, yes its inconvenient and annoying and NCWest to blame for it for incompetently handling this issue. But its only possible fair solution at this point for all this mess.
On other side constantly being surrounded with players being treated unequal and unfair because of NCWest mistakes and incompetence is what will make me quit the game. Even if im personally not affected by that, it just makes bad feeling and removes my motivation to invest in this game. While group of players can openly use hacks (yes, not xml edits but hacking of binary files with many proofs of it that NCWest is very aware of and doing nothing about it), while one group of players can upgrade weapon cheap and other needs to spend much longer time raiding to get to same result because NCWest patched in wrong upgrade price, while one group of players can get rich because NCWest put wrong stuff on merchant...etc etc... this game just dont feel worth playing seriously.
So yes rollback however bad it is, its only possible way to put things straight at this point.
well they better prepare for a MAASSIVE wave of support tickets for pet gems, a weeks gold progression dailies weeklies + refunds of money for the summer blessings chests etc if they go that route. Because thats the chaos that also awaits them.
At this point the best thing they can do is fix the merchant and forget about it. The game will recover

not everyone knows about the exploit so they probably buy them theirselves.
Um after the mods announcement on the forums combined with f chat... they do now.... and not to mention youtubers spreading the information. I don't know where you got your info but you're wrong. The numbers of those that know are much much higher. I'd say around 80% of the player base

This may be the saddest OP post I have ever read. Pure looting mentality. No police around, lets burn the place down and steal that new TV.
Its too late for a roll back. People will lose 1 week of progression in game especially farming those annoying pet gems in nyraka not to mention the gold earned during that week and the upgrades. You're basically telling people who stayed away from the merchant to accept a weeks loss. They will rage quit instead. A roll back is worse than the current "bug" which isnt a bug at all but a misstype in how much an item is worth. Its not an exploit nor is it cheating because the problem was on NC's side not the players side. The only logical thing to do is accept that it is what it is.
Banning people for something like that is also unfair because the blame is on nc's side. Not the players side. Its like for example me making a mistake and then blaming you for it even if you didnt do anything wrong. The game will recover eventually after this. But mass banning people when the game already has a low population will definitely kill the game.
Roll backs are supposed to be done within 1 day. Not 7 days later.
forgot to mention the rng summer blessing boxes people bought from the hongmoon store with real money. A roll back would also take away what they paid for.

If you could, can you elaborate on why you disagree with my explanation?
PVP is easy to do and awards great things. And the Gold Nerfs hurts not only old players, but new players as well. Its as simple as that

UE4 did not fix the issue of low fps, and the game could have been great but listen to the player base, dont milk players and nerf gold. If you guys can fix the fps issue the game would make more money and last loger please read the post and make changes.
Good luck trying to reach them! Someone needs to show them the math with detail on how impactful the Gold nerfs were. Yesterday I did my usual fishing and my daily income from the daily challenge were also spent. To add insult to injury they nerfed the Gold even more with the new weekly changes with the last patch.
At this point you're forced to either do msp (good luck getting into groups there since they ask for Grand Celestial + weapons), or just log in for only weeklies and raids.
One other problem that came with the Gold nerfs is that f8 has slowed down by alot. People stopped doing daily challenges because its not worth time and effort anymore and as a result, the ones that are still trying to do the Daily challenges have a hard time getting into groups. Yes its possible to finish the DC but it has become a very slow process. f8 used to move FAST.
The newer players are the ones suffering the most from these changes. So they just see that progress is slow and they move on to other games.
BNS had alot of potential when it launched. But the moment they stopped listening to the playerbase, thats when it started going down hill.
They don't learn from past mistakes. This is not the first time for such Gold nerfs. And thats a problem right there.
I love this game and would like to see it succeed, but the way things are going now, even the top bns streamers have started streaming other games. And that... does not look good.

There are many reasons for this, but mainly to give lower levels a chance to grind. I went in on my HM 16 and the mobs there can 2-3 shot me. But even with my hm 22 fm they still hit really hard but i can hold my own on her. (i just cannot auto because i die... every time especially thanks to screen freezes.) Can you please try and nerf this a bit? It would really help.... ALOT....
-
the lagg is soooo bad.... i died alot because of screen freezes.... it really does need more channels...
Something similar happened during a halloween event a few years ago and the extra channels fixed the lagg.
-
yea um... no... just no... the way it was before last patch was fine. Now its just a disaster
-
can any mods reply? I saw the latest patch notes and it doesnt include any fixes in Gold....

thanks for the response @Hime
Yes I tested it on my gunner alt and she is doing the same thing.
I recorded a few clips to be more clear on what I mean.
For example in this this clip, I manually Place my Forcemaster into the middle of a group of mobs (And even attack one to see if it keeps attacking the mob i manually attacked (Away from where i initially began the AI (clicked play button.) but instead of her fighting the mobs, she runs back to where I initiated the AI.
I did the same thing with my gunner, i manually placed her in a group of mobs after initializing the AI. She doesn't fight the mobs near her, instead the AI tries to stay in a fixed zone around where it was initially started and runs away from the mobs attacking. It used to be that the Ai aimed for any mobs around them or attacked them. The recent changes limits it around to where you initialize the AI.
This actually makes things slower because you gotta wait for respawns around the fixed zone.
Sad 😞
but thanks again for the reply, hope this clears up a bit on the changes.
