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.

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.

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.

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.

it will go down but who would have thought twice in 3-4 hrs. Guess dailies are dead for today, Goodbye Koldrak for today! 😂

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** 😜

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........

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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
