Not only on what @Oldana reports, but the entire UI can bunch up in the upper left corner of the screen when you're going into a dungeon from F8. After you set the chat bar, it changes back to the center of the screen when you change instances. This is really maddening and frustrating. This was not happening before the emergency maintenance yesterday. Y'all broke something. If you want video proof of it, I streamed this morning and this happened throughout my stream.

When that happened, I didn't notice it. Care to guess as to why? It means I wasn't affected by that. However, when I do notice I'm being affected, Cntl+F fixes it. I just completed Temple of Eluvium yesterday morning. I paid specific attention to my FPS. The only time it dropped and effected me was against the Great Thrall and Zulia. Cntl+F fixed it. I freaking said from the damned beginning that Cntl+F fixes that issue if one is having it. I know how my machine set up is and its working for me. Yet you want to call me a god damned liar ("all this nonsense about your PC being so optimized is....BS." All of you that complain and do not look for answers on how to fix it will never learn. Why? Because you suffer from Cognitive Dissonance. Your core belief that nothing can be done to over some the issues with this game short of Bloodlust completely rebuilding to optimize the game. When shown that you can you cannot and will not accept anything that questions or shows your core belief is not as it appears. If you don't believe what I'm saying damned well challenge to use Cntl+F in heroic dungeon or raid to see for yourselves. Until such time that you do, you'll continue to damn the game, the people running it, and rant, rave, and poison the water. I don't suffer from bitterness in my mouth and never will. You and the rest; however, reek of it when it comes to this game.

The pet is a stat item that looks cute and does absolutely nothing. Just like a lightsabre for a Jedi Sage/Sith Sorcerer in SW:TOR. It looks and sounds cool but does very little except buff the player's stats. Just like the pet. If you want to have a companion that interacts with enemies, might I suggest playing SWTOR, GW2, or FFXIV to see exactly what your looking for. You may find it more of a hassle than its worth especially in the heat of battle when you're depending on their support.

Wait, don't pets have buffs to stats already? Weren't the addition of pet gems additive stat buffs too? Aren't they now exactly what you're asking for? I don't want a companion like we have in Star Wars: The Old Republic or following pets they have FFXIV or summoned pets in GW2 for rangers or Necromancers. I believe the pets are fine just the way they are. Otherwise, if they did what you asked for they'll be sure to make them killing able making them more a liability to the character and something else to worry about.

Yup when they stated they were going to make the game more user friendly...then in 2018, with the Thornbreaker cost decr...er...increase for upgrading alt friendly promptly ended.

You're assuming again. You obviously do not know the true meaning of that word. Mushin's tower is infamous for killing FPS. You've of all people, should know this. You can sit in the lobby and end up with single digit fps. I gave you proof from my recorded streams. Yet you do not go to verify my claim. I know why you won't. Because it will destroy your whining and moaning narrative. You need to optimize your whale computer so you can enjoy what I do. Or maybe acknowledging the truth is something you're not capable of because of cognitive dissonances. Shrug. No sweat off my back. In truth, the only one here full of bovine excrement is you.

Really? Go here: www.twitch.tv/strykergamingltd and see for yourself. Then you can come back and apologize. BTW, I'm sitting here on the 5th floor of Mushin's tower in front of the hulking Augerite with 118fps (106 after taking screenshot) . I even recorded it too if you think I've manipulated that picture. Your assumptions are just that, assumptions based on faulty information and issues with your "high end computer" that is obviously not optimized to get you the best bang for your whale of a computer.

This one has to be the worst event I've seen. It is centered on Hongsel's pay to play keys, everything else...sigh. The fact we can only make 1 Festival Table to use per day? Yeah...they really want us to throw cash at their gambling machine. I wonder if someone is going to spend the 500plus dollars required to get to level 800. I guess NCSOFT thinks westerns are going to throw away their cash for trinkets.

10fps raid? I guess you watched a different video involving a fight than I did. Because the streamer's screen didn't stutter, pause, or show any signs of being less than 60fps. Anyways, I don't see an fps issue on the part of the streamer in this fight. Your claim is unfounded. Had it, then you'd see things indicative of "10fsp." Perhaps low fps resides with one's machine and set up? Or do you want to blame the raid instead? Control F is your friend in any dungeon, heroic or raid. If you're having fps issues you might want to work on getting the best performance from your machine first. My 1070Ti does wonderful in this game. Without using Control F, I normally get 50 to 70 fps, with Control F I get 100 to 120 depending on the fight. The ONLY thing I suffer from is network lag spikes. That's to be expected playing 9,000 miles away from the server here in the Philippines. WTFast is the answer to help control that. If you doubt the veracity of this, you can watch any one of my stream recordings to see for yourself. I have GeForce overlay displaying my FPS. You can see when I employ the Control F if required. As for "mediocre rewards," your words, you have no clue what this raid boss or the main one drops. You assume it is. And you know what 'Assume' means, right? If you're so upset with how things work with this game, why torture yourself with playing it. If nothing meets your expectations, why continue playing? I walked away from SWTOR and Neverwinter for that vary reason. Seven years investment of time and money in SWTOR and 3 in Neverwinter, I left it all behind. It's not worth the frustrations and disappointments. I wasn't having fun anymore. If one isn't having fun playing why continue if said expectations are never met? Wistful hope? As my dad use to say to me, "Wish in one hand and crap in another. See which one fills up first." Conversely, I walked away from this game on 3 separate occasions for the same reason, 'not having fun due to the inane grind. Things have change and it is now enjoyable. I'm having fun.

I appreciate the reply and thanks. I do believe this would be a QoL improvement for all.

I appears that this "event" is more about getting money from the players than giving players any rewards. In other words, a scam.

@JonJonPoPong2 It's amazing that those who clamor loudly against this topic do not get the ridiculousness of the massive cost increase.

I believe the 2 servers they have now are super servers that are capable of very large capacity of players. I know a few MMOs like SWTOR have done this. Its more cost effective and financially better for operation costs. The need for 'new' servers probably won't happen until such time the two they have now are consistently at or new capacity over a period of time for them to even begin to consider doing so.

@Hime Will Bloodlust developers ever allow players to craft the two different Sojos (Dokkaebi & Imperial) for personal (BoA) use or players as they do with other charms and food? If this hasn't been brought up before, can you put forward the suggestion to make it available?

This is what I called you out about. See above. Because he and others, like myself, choose to do so. NCSOFT/NCWest choose to penalize the entire player base with their money sink methodology in their mailing system.

Ah yes, deflection. You're answer is what I expected. You have no right to tell anyone how to play this game. You want to post your opinion, do so, but to insinuate that players must play a certain way, nope.

Who hell are you to tell anyone what or how they can play? I know, just another white-hat for the company.

Umm...braggadocios?

Both of you are missing the point. How convenient. It is beyond ridiculous the charges for sending items that have high value. They are using the mail system as a money sink. It's not good enough for them that the F5 market is one giant one. They want to hurt the player's monetary stability by charging insane costs for sending expensive items via mail. Next they'll start charging gold to open the mail or any sealed item sent via mail just like they charge for opening items for the Unity system. This is the point @Grimoir and @Zuzuzuzuzu. You too might have a few million gold stashed away and won't bat an eye; however, many of us don't have that kind of gold reserves to send items that are ridiculously priced to send. @Hime I'm tagging you about this and your company's egregious methods of removing gold from the economy. But I know you'll just ignore this as the good ole company man you are.

Apparently that happens a lot here...

Exactly. I have 10 left. I may, just may be down to 5 after that...they're useless. This is what happens when the TPTB believe applying their egregious "grind" to things of this nature. They get our money and then force us to grind out (waiting long stupid hours) to unlock another one. This will make me think twice before spending anymore of my money on something that will end up being thrown away. Thanks @Hime and company!

Since they've remained silent on this after the update, means they refuse to answer. Just more proof of the lack of candor and transparency. It boils down to @Hime lied to us.

This is probably how it will happen. There is precedent for this too. In Guild Wars 2 (another NCSOFT game) they have just that with the Necromancer. Where the scepter turns into a scythe and is used to attack with various skills. Bloodlust only need to follow Arenanet's way of making that happen.

This is probably how they want to you get these new gems...spend one's money.

I understand and don't disagree with you. However, you know when we're in Moon Refuge or Midnight area and run through the "speed" boost. The only thing I see is arms and legs moving faster but the speed not so much! LOL
