IMO, I think it is the server. If you look at the preview stream you can see that NC West has 40-250ms ping (250 is probably from first loading in, etc). I think 40ms is a little high for only having a few ppl on it. With a higher load on it most likely doubles or more. So by then your playing with a 56k ping. When I play a new character I have no issues with fps doing the story but when I reach newer areas with players my fps lowers and my ping also get slightly higher as well. That is why I think it is a server issue than a client one but the client does have some issues as well. Like when you press enter to type and it cuts off the first key press after of the word you are typing.

Sad that you have to change your character slider just to see your character in F8. You would think that they would fix this after so many years but the problem still exists.

Well... I heard that the bill would only effect games minors play like candy crush. So making the game mature rated or 18+ could allow a game to still sell loot boxes. (last I heard bout this topic) imo, they already have a system in for it. Called a Credit card. If the parents are giving the credit card info to their children without making the purchase themself is bad on the parents for not keeping that info private. Since kids can not get a credit card legally as far as I know.

Team Bloodlust uses it as a gold sink like how many other things like mailing items to alts and market fees. Pets cost around the same to change appearance also. I agree that it should not cost anything to do but at least lower the cost to do it to like 5-10g. (maybe a sliding scale for weapons IE: raven 5g, aransu 10g and GC 15g) They also need something to give premium members so that is why it only costs 1g for them.

Is is like that for all accessories now. I was going to upgrade a few on my alts but the mats needed now look like they are not worth it. (didn't do math on it lol) So I just have to settle for getting it to break through instead. btw, make sure anything u make during the event don't expire after the event.

Only thing you can do is get as many boxes you can from the daily quests. That is the easiest way other than getting lucky on the daily dash. I get 8-10 boxes a day from daily quests an I get 1 green venture coin a month if that. If I get lucky I get 2. I only got 2 blue and 1 purple from playing since release. If you get premium you can get more (think it is 15 hm coin a day). I think also a chance to get venture coins if you land the the blue outline squares on the daily dash. Then you get a random chance of landing on the surprise gift that might give a venture coin but last time I had premium I got a rng box tho.

I work 3rd shift in NA and I can only do koldraks lair on my days off cuz I'm sleeping or working. Would love a time at this hour I play at so I can so it regularly.

Also the bosses in beastbog need more health. They don't even last a second as well.

Team Bloodlust is the developer and NcSoft is the publisher. What Snowyamur was saying is correct. They needed to open all those servers cause of all the bots. Their were literally 100's of bots in game at release farming away at quests and field bosses.

You can also craft exp charms. I don't remember what one tho. Also you can get exp charms from ToI and trail arena next door but only once per season.

I think factions have become worthless imo. People will always stack one faction with the strongest clans/players. Seen this happen on my server. Only way I see faction content to survive is removing faction association with players and clans. Revamping the ssp as a battleground or timed event where you have to sign up with an npc that assigns you to a faction side before battle. Btw, isn't NA servers ceru heavy and EU servers crim heavy?

You can't solo those bosses anymore. They have a lot more hp then before and a enrage timer. It has always been moml for karri only. I never seen a both bosses for cs and if I did I would not join. HM is different since you need a orb to get to the boss like karri hence gambling the orb for a chance at good loot.

lol I would have just thought you were a troll. I usually block people who do that. You don't really need to talk on here unless you are making a party, selling an item to save market fees and clan recruitment. Having no general chat either makes it hard for people as well. The 2 channels to choose from are faction and region. So if you pick the faction with the least players the game will look dead and region just does the map instance your in.

@Showta 1. better servers indeed. The server now adds like 80ms ish to your ping or is it the client. lol 2. You mean raid? I remember that they changed it to 12 cuz it was hard for a lot of clans to get 24 ppl on at the same time from what I heard. 3. More open world content would be awesome. I liked the supplychain/bloodharbor content but a lot of ppl claim that they lag to badly in those zones. 4. More social features would be nice. When open world content as I mentioned before you could go in an group up with randoms to make friends/meet new ppl. @pikapikapika I did pvp when the game came out but not now. The gear difference got too wide between players in bg. If they want to get pvp more active imo: 1. Make getting pvp gear just in pvp areas without having to do pve dungeons. Like Tower of infinity/arena to get starter gear to mid range gear so you can stand a chance vs high geared players in bg. 2. Add a separate gear set so you can change between pve an pvp gear. Same as you can switch soul shields. 3. ? I dunno what else. lol

Fiana, I agree with you and most of your arguments. If you wanna nonbrain dead dungeons go hard mode. Let us casuals play the newer content with out the insta wipe if some one messes up. I don't wanna spend an hour in a dungeon just to have ppl leave at the last boss. I did this when asura came out and don't wanna do this again. I work full time and only have a certain amount of time to play. If it does go back to the days when asura came out I would probably quit the game.
