  1. Dw about it man, we already knew activity from NC staff have been on the low side. Sure they may be reading forums, because they work for the game and their position at NCsoft but whether they can do something or influence devs for changes is the real question. Most of them I assume cannot change what devs will do or cant just arbitrarily reply to forum complaints. Unfortunately even if other ppl deny it, we all know the game is on its last legs. Most ppl even left for Lost Ark, because the player treatment is much better there. For example in BNS, now if u get the skystealer accessories, literally a gold sink. Who here has failed a more than 2k gold worth getting to +6 let alone + 11. Ive seen ppl wasted over 20k gold trying to get +11 and still failed. imagine that for a new player, Almost every single try is 250g. fail fail fail fail fail fail. Boom 1k 2k 3k gold gone. Even in Lost Ark at least when you trying to +1-15 gear, if u fail u get increased rate and the cost isnt so high that its unaffordable for new players. Im sure staff know this problem they jst cant address it. Instead the only way is to swipe and pay for the bundles to increase ur chances. With the recent release of other games such as Lost Ark, BNS is pretty much on life support most ppl jst login for quick dailies and thats it. I myself, given up on this game and going on hiatus until they decide to improve things or the next big patch or new class spec rolls in even im 50-50 might not even bother. And one of the things to note is whether Greenstorm is actually an actual single staff member or multiple staff controlling the account. because if you look at his posts, he has the same issue with Hime's account where they post in 3-5 different languages even google translate doesnt get everything perfect. I dont know about you but being able to speak and write fluently in 3-5 different languages is not likely to be one person. although he may have replied here, I still believe he is jst multiple staff controlling the account just to look like one person. Hime was the same thing during this year, Her twitter long time ago no longer even says BNS CM for ages now yet only now recently did she announcement her "retirement" from BNS. She most likely left a long time ago and they jst never announced it, now they got Greenstorm who so far looks about the same just a replacement account for Hime lols at least that what it looks like. Most CM staff on NCsoft all have the official CM title on their accounts in forums, yet u click on his account profile. there is no title even after months already of him announcing himself. 🤔 any posts suspecting that this Greenstorm isnt actually one person have all been background deleted, even my own suspicions i posted the moment his announcement came that he was replacing hime was deleted the very next day by forum staff. I dont know about u but if their background deleting these posts by ppl, we all know their trying to hide something. I dont know what Greenstorm can do at this point of the game, will he be able to announce some changes to the game that can save it? I guess we will have to see, because if he cant fix any of the game problems, then there is no difference in the game as right now game is flopping like a dead fish on life support and NCsoft clearly trying to milk as much of it as they can right now before life support is turned off🤣. Active players are down or gone, with average login times barely above the 2 hrs enough for dailies and thats it.
  2. Its missing alot of stuff, but when they cant even fix den bug. i dont think they have time to fix this SB missing items. They did directly jst copy the SB and its rewards from the KR version which has reduced upgrade costs. Hence the missing, Prem stones, missing empryeon rocks, and other stuff.
  3. Nah Looks like based on the maint notice, it wont be fixed even after this maintenence. i assume 1v1 is covering both Den and Shrine. Worst thing is missing out on SB boost rewards for nearly 2 weeks now. Free like 5-6 lvls jst from Den and u still need to do it for 21 runs. At least u can do shrine on easy mode, which still counts towards SB.
  4. yeah u will run them but not many ppl will, between 10-30 not many ppl will run between this level because most ppl are either already past this floor or it isnt worth running at such low floors. there really isnt an incentive for ppl to run these floors with others to help grind out lvls especially on Alts. let alone AD now. Everyone is on the SUBmarine now, farming as you probs already know either 31+ or 41+, anything lower is pretty much dead. You may occasionally see 1person or so running it but those as so minimal. AD dead levels are pretty much 10-30 SUB dead levels are pretty much 10-20 may be even up to 30. This is the problem now that game has gone in the demonbane direction. Even if they force ppl to do it as a daily, most ppl jst solo quick run floor 1 like i do even if we have end game gear because it jst quicker and we onli need the daily ROFL. Trying to piece together bodies for those dead levels is pretty much impossible and no1 will carry an undergeared person unless its a fellow clannie.
  5. it will go down but who would have thought twice in 3-4 hrs. Guess dailies are dead for today, Goodbye Koldrak for today! 😂
  6. Dw, just use custom launcher like multitool, better and less bugs than original launcher. You can jst play this game in the interim till good games start releasing in Feb then goodbye BNS like most of the community will probably be gone lels. *Cough Lost AR** 😜
  7. Yeah tbh the reason the transition mats are so wrong is because they directly copied the SB system from KR without adjusting for patch differences between regions. Why they didnt adjust sumhow amazes me, because Silversteel is already trash lvl gear in KR while on NA it is still almost top tier gear. Hence KR would have way more reduced costs on upgrading between TB and SS levels. KR their practically throwing the mats at u to get you past SS level, while NA their barely giving "enough mats" supposedly to get to SS level. Looking at the current mats in SB, can pretty much confirm its the exact same required values in KR for SS. Yes your previous post annoyed me because I had already long corrected the $$$pricing as i was writing the initial post, forums has this problem of I cant edit my posts after a certain of time so I jst directly put in a ** P.S type thing at the bottom during the initial post. Coupled with your very first line in that post, pretty much ticked even most readers off. The problem isn't jst that its a rip off, its a BLATANT rip off. When a free event like soul boost gives better stuff than this BP and as i predicted if you look, even the most remote good stuff is locked behind a paywall. Sure $30->$50 doesnt sound much but in their eyes, many ppl swiping for $30 becames a large value. This thread was mainly to predict and demonstrate, HOW MUCH of a rip off it was. Initially when i was writing this, i had a gut feeling that it would be bad but i never thought it would be this horrible tbh. I even predicted that the costume after they announced what was on the BP that the costume would be part of premium only. and lo and behold, it is locked behind premium. Comparing the differences between free BP and premium BP u can see a massive world difference which is pretty ridiculous, they barely give you anything in the f2p version which is the most horrible part, like 10x basic mat like elysians and 1 rep charm and 1 exp charm pretty much every single level is a bit ridiculous. especially as a newly outlined event and the year has barely even started. at this point we are already getting milked at the start of the year which isnt very good news for the future direction that its going in........
  8. Mainly most likely they didn't adjust the values to NA after copying it from the KR version, as KR version is well ahead in gear. Hence thornbreaker ->SS would have way more reduced costs than NA because it is low tier gear in KR where they practically give u full TB for free just from doing the story let alone SS level. This level Gear in KR is mainly just to make sure u actually do some of the content, so the costs are minimal. Looking at the costs in KR, definitely they directly copied the KR soul boost and its rewards.
  9. you can up the pet slightly further than the soul or heart because it has more levels but you will still hit a point where it becomes bugged and the stones dont work atm.
  10. Way too many issues these days upon release, this is probs what happens when you dont have enough staff to troubleshoot problems before the patches are copied from KR and fixed. instead their jst copied with the same emphasis on COPIED
  11. bugged atm, once you get to stage 5--> awakended is bugged from them onwards. same for pet and most likely heart. sigh too many bugs nowadays because there probs isnt enough staff to properly fix the bugs before release when they copy the KR patches and changes, even some of the game is now in KR language like the end of the dungeon bid screen has bidder parts in KR.
  12. dw, they said theirs probs gonna be another patch todays anyways. Lots of mistakes nowdays in the patches, cause their jst importing parts from the KR client and not actually developing much themselves. 🤷‍♂️ so problems gonna occur, you can even tell because they cant even write full patch notes anymore . even the skill changes are still not up yet because they are still checking what got changed from this KR update on NA. even the end of dungeon bid screens are still korean now.
  13. pretty much forces you to do AD and SUB everyday lels even if its onli floor 1. to get more players running AD again though not much of them will do much of the floors between 10-30 so your still screwed for AD unless you look for ppl new alts trying to grind to stage 10 for SB
  14. Hence they need to pay more for the staff who write the notes so they actually put in more effort in writing it correctly. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Like Dojagi in Jadestone village, like who actually knew right off the bat where this guy was. im sure like most ppl had to ask around to actually find this event dude lols. and none of the notes or anything actually told anyone where this guy was except in the jadestone village, not even a map indicator
  15. Thank god though, at least soul boost has like 10x better rewards as a free event. dont even get how paywall items are worse than the event items this time round which is so weird lols
  16. Yep turns out it was a mistake in the notes as expected, the actual 51-80 chest is the exceptional version of the bracelet and not the normal bracelet box as stated. sigh so sad that they cant even pay their staff properly to write the patch notes correctly.
  17. After looking at the BP, As expected everything i had feared has become true. 1. The costume is premium only, and tbh it doesnt look amazing at all. 2. basic BP is jst shitty crap basic mats, and the amounts are so miniscule. 3. literally only the good rewards like insig boxes are in premium, but even the amount is quite low 5 normal insig boxes and 1 large insig box. Summary: Blatant cash grab. dont expect good stuff without paying $30 for premium as expected. 😑 sad they went this direction.
  18. And it doesnt make sense how bracelet is like the ring in AD, yet for sum reason on boss 1 its drops 21-30 while boss 2 it drops 51-80 wtf? not counting the 1-80 which is the same as the Ring on AD notes. like why is there such a disparity? shouldn't boss 2 drop it more earlier than boss 1 at lower floors like in AD. considering bracelet is like the ring of AD and is the lower one of the 3 as deemed by the floor lvls that it drops out. How does it even make sense that boss 1 drops it at way lower floors than boss 2 and by low i mean there is a 30 floor difference from 21 and 51. like is this a mistake in patch notes? If it is supposed to be the ring equivalent of AD, shouldnt it be dropped from floor 11+ onwards? Da fk? instead of 51-80 it should be 11-80 for the skystealer bracelet>>>>>>>>>>>>
  19. Need to pay ur patch note writers and editors more please. There are silly mistakes or redundancies in this upcoming patch notes lels. Substratum architect boss, if the bracelet chest drops on 1-80 why is there another separate entry for the exact same named item 51-80 4 lines down 😑? seems redundant unless its an upgraded bracelet chest O_O or double drop at 51-80? OR TRADEABLE BOX? 😏 "Rare Hidden Promises Treasure Chest Guaranteed (51~80)" "Grand Master Material Chest Guaranteed (31~80)" ^missing "Stage" infront of the numbers (being a bit picky😒 i know but u already wrote it for kaliburn why didnt u jst copy paste for Architect as well instead rewrote the same thing except missed the stage word in both lines only for these two items lels). U wrote stage for every thing else but missed these two in the middle. "The Heart upgrade material, Sacred Vial, has been replaced with the Sterling Scale Fragment." This should be better worded, thought it meant all my oils getting replaced by sterling, it should be the "upgrade requirements" has been changed to use sterling scale frags. Please pay ur staff more who write patch notes to avoid confusion for players. K THNX BAI! *PS there may be other mistakes but im too lazy to write them out. handing to community to see if there's any other mistakes.
  20. Chances are its gonna be a premium reward the costume lels. GOTTA make you SWIPE THAT $30 USD FOR THAT costume which honestly if it is a premium reward isnt worth it. because most of the stuff u get from farming other places, and essentially ur paying $30 for the costume lels which is an up from the shop f10 ones at $20 which is already a ripoff 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 u either get ripped on the BP premium or get ripped on the f10 shop. good luck! *PS this is all assuming that the costume will be onli a premium BP reward. 🤞 pray its not. though i doubt it will not be when we are already getting milked this early into the new year.
  21. Tbh i doubt the quantities for those mats will be that high in the pass, let alone im afraid to see the difference between the f2p BP and the premium BP lels tomorrow. BNS nowadays has never been as generous to players as they were 5-6 years ago, when game first started. nowadays its just how to maximise profit but keeping the gear progression low to keep players locked into the game. continuous packages and new bundles/ "deals". At most for me personally, the only thing that would even interest me at this point is the class change voucher lels. Im sure there's gonna be a world of difference between the two to entice ppl to buy it. if the costume is premium onli, then screw the BP. not gonna bother even considering swiping.
  22. Dont even know what devs are thinking for this BP. based on the list on the website, all the rewards there are literally complete horses***. and many of the items are already dated long ago. I dont even get how the other 2 events cming like soul boost and candyland are giving more useful rewards than this BP which gives completely nothing very useful except basic upgrade mats. and i would hate to see the difference between premium" and non premium". *SWIPE $55 USD. lels Even if your a new player, I can tell you safely dont swipe for BP. it aint worth, all the stuff u can easily get yourself by running the content. Literally everything on the list you can farm easily in some form or another, just by sleeping in DGs or running basic AD runs. Unless the quantity for the mats are really high, this was a complete mistake. They need to really look at it properly what players actually need or want, these trash mats literally are worthless. Sure the basic Let alone asking 4400ncoin = $55 USD for premium, my god lols. Paying for prem membership and still gotta swipe another $55 for premium BP rofls. Nothing better than devs rushing cash grab content because of the need for $$$$$$. ah BNS in 2022, i see the direction you are going. barely the year has started and we already got a massive milking session about to begin on 19th of Jan first major update of 2022. *edit BP premium is actually 2400ncoin = $30 USD. 4400ncoin is the package with the premium, pet and battle potions. 🤦‍♂️ the motto at the end of the day, dont swipe for BP premium unless your desperate for basic mats or St00pid (no offense to anyone 😏). There is probs even going to be a large disparity in the rewards between those f2p or those who buy the plaque which is the premium. If you even play the game long enough, you will see that all the mats in the description are easily obtainable. there is nothing new, rather jst go do soul boost event or candyland at least thats good even for an alt. Items on BP with crap or good rating out of 10 according to my experiences in this game (late gamer already): 1/10-Soulstone Crystal 1/10-Sacred Crystal 1/10-Moonstone Crystal 1/10-Elysian Crystal *get this mat anywhere doing nearly anything DG related, can sleep in a DG and get it dropped in even EZ dungeons. 1/10-Flame Skystealer Crystal 1/10-Ocean Skystealer Crystal 1/10-Earth Skystealer Crystal 1/10-Wind Skystealer Crystal 1/10-Nature Skystealer Crystal 1/10-Lightning Skystealer Crystal *unless u never run AD or never plan to, though i doubt anyone would not run AD this mat is literally u get in every single run of AD as basic reward even in EZ DG 3x per day daily. 3/10-Elder Scale 3/10-Nocturnal Scale *unless ur desperate for scales, u get these in every single DG runs or AD run, get even 5 boxes of this every run. do ur dailies and u can easily get 30 boxes per day minimum with either 4 elder frags or 2 noct frags per box. 5/10-Searing Hongmoon Etching Stone Chest *Semi-ok reward but etchings are not really too important unless ur already min-maxing. pointless unless ur really endgame, gold better spent elsewhere. 8/10-Silversteel Ore *as most ppl and the basic game is putting ppl at silversteel weapon tier, this is the prime reward but how many will it give is the real question. especially between free or premium. though i doubt they would give enough for all silversteel weapon stages without running the raid or sourcing ores elsewhere. though i could be wrong. summary this is probs for a lot of ppl the main reward or interest. 1/10-Legendary Element 1/10-Wonder Radiance Stone Chest *unless ur desperate for these, these can be easily obtained from events or jst daily content. can even trade elysians crystals for elements in dragon express so why is this even here? waste of time. 1/10-Hongmoon Quick XP Charm 1/10-Eminence Reputation Charm 1/10-Premier Hongmoon XP Charm 1/10-Premier Reputation Charm *depending on how far you are in ur unity level or HM level, 😒 . you get these from dailies or craft them. the onli positive thing is their getting rid of the cooldowns for charms. so at least u can mass spam them, otherwise u get these in a lot of places easily. 2/10-Soulstone 2/10-Sacred Orb 3/10-Moonstone 3/10-Elysian Orb *Same as the crystal versions, u get these jst from doing the content everywhere. At least these are sellable on market which makes them slightly better. 6/10-Searing Grandmaster's Etching Stone *Same as previous, unless min maxing this is pretty much worthless till late game. 8/10-Sacred Vial *Can never have enough oils for heart and soul upgrades, but then again with new tier heart no longer using this, becomes more redundant the higher gear u are. 😔 7/10-Synthesis Stone *Meh, only useful in upgrading AD accessories, then again like most players gold is probs your biggest pain in upgrading rather than getting these synth stones. AD accessories massive gold sink the higher + lvl u go, 1/10-Imperial Soju ?/10-Kaebi Charm 1/10-Honing Oil 1/10-Pristine Oil *Trash garbage that fills inventory slots, unless u need the + ap for 30 mins from the soju, the rest u can get from doing dailies every single day. Kaebi charm wtf is this but as it is a charm, unlikely to be useful in any sort of gear progression, therefore trash. 9/10-Premium Transformation Stone *the rock of the ages, that just never seems to die. The rock that is older than the NA BNS server, You will need this rock in ur gear progression regardless of stage ur at, buyable on market but not cheap. Unless they decide to only give it on premium BP to screw f2p players over. 🤔 Either way because of how valuable this rock is, doubt they will give you much of it in the BP let alone the f2p BP. 5/10-Hongmoon Gem Powder *Hard to say how useful this is to you, unless ur in the process of upgrading gems. you will most likely be selling this on market for gold because its worthless otherwise. especially if ur newer player, upgrading gems wont be too much of a priority than gear. Gems give cheap AP but gear u will still need to progress regardless of gems. 7/10-Dark Whisper 7/10-Dark Whisper Mask *Probs the main thing most ppl will do BP for, though i have a feeling that it may onli be a premium reward in that case, not worth at all. If this is onli on premium then you pretty much swiping $30 for this costume which clearly aint worth it because the other stuff in BP are garbo and it better look ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ amazing cause the last few costumes from bns have been terrible. All in all, think carefully before you swipe for this as based on the current details of the BP it is definitely not worth it for the premium. jst gives u stuff u can easily farm urself except 1 or 2 things.
  23. yeah did another 76 runs on 31+ and still nothing on accessories, lmao. A couple of insig less than 4 boxes but that was about it from the garbo drops from 31+. but now its definitely a lot less drops compared to prior to last major patch early december. been more than 3 weeks since my last accessory drop for myself. prior to dec patch, used to at least see 1 access a week during farming now havent seen in almost a month now. Tbh there is a high chance they might have reduced the drops % to increase the runs u have to do over this holiday period in an attempt to keep the game alive over this long break period, as game is definitely a lot more dead over this holiday period than previous month lols. Can barely piece together a party for ez dungeons let alone AD. 🤔
  24. Tbh, I think they gave up on banning macros when simple mode was introduced. There is literally no point, they put in a macro directly in the game for QoL changes and there no difference from making ur own macro with like a inbuilt macro mouse like Razer or steelseries. Its part of the program and way too hard to even detect at this point. Banning ppl for the one thing they directly themselves implemented into the game seems way too silly and a waste of resources. and sometimes macros kinda of help especially when this game still has FPS problems in some cases, *cough Koldrak. Also it helps players focus more on learning or doing mechs, especially in harder raids where you dont have many fingers to press all the buttons u need at once. if u got a button doing ur basic dps rotation, u can put more effort in doing mechs correctly which is a core part of most raids especially endgame ones. I would rather take someone who knows how to do mechs than someone who is more dps but floormatting because of failing mechs. as DPS can always be made by other ppl. And macro will help ppl focus more on mechs which was the key point of simple mode besides wrist sprain or strain
  25. 100 + runs is way too many lols, u must have been really unlucky or farming the low floors. i think most ppl once AD came out got 1-2 access within 1-3 weeks and that wasnt even barely 50-60 runs tops. if ur farming like 21, 31 + at least u have chances to get both the earring or ring, or earring, ring and neck increasing ur odds. Silversteel access should at least get u to 21 minimum unless u got bad party. probs try farm higher floors unless u specifically need the ring and want onli ring to drop, even then i suspect that drop rate is probs higher at higher floors tbh. The key point for this thread is drops within the last 2 weeks right after the major december patch. this crappy drop rate only seems to have started at least for me right after the december patch.
