  1. If I had to be cynical, I would say that we will get this version. Only the top 20 get gold, and they get 500 gold. The ones that need the most just get absolutely nothing at all. Just 3 transformation stones, which is about 30 gold, when sold in F5 (excluding fees). GreenStorm did say he heard about our feedback regarding the horrible amounts of gold that we get, and how gold starved we are compared to the cost of everything. But the thing is: did this feedback leave this forum? Did anyone heard this at NCSoft? We will see when Kaebi Village releases, or when we get some actual information, instead of an half-written wall of text that doesn't say anything concrete at all.
  2. For those that didn't read it: https://www.bladeandsoul.com/en-us/news/article/8014/new-empires-launch-on-may-11 Act 12 Interlude What can we expect from it? Is there going to be a stream about it? Hall of Trials What kind of dungeon is this? How will it work? How can we obtain this weapon? Horde & Gourd Event Supposedly, the Korean version had gold in it. Are we going to get gold too? How will this work? Will this reward whales only, like this event? Items and Systems update How about bugfixes? How about fixing known issues? Is there going to be anything like that? Or it's just a content dump with more issues?
  3. I was too lazy to repeat this. I couldn't have said it better myself. The fusion stones are pure robbery and only serve to make people dump gold. You basically pay for a gold sink, to keep gold a scarce resource. Agreed. Maybe 100 ncoins would be a better price. Yes, we get bucket loads of these for free, and we get tons and tons of them from everything. However, we don't spend them because it takes so much gold to use these... It makes no sense to use these (unless you get new gear), so, we just accumulate tons of them.
  4. You can use hmcoins to buy most items. You only can't buy the ones that are of higher interest to players. This would be cool, but I doubt it will be implemented.
  5. Today's specials - 2022-05-03: Lazy AF "specials", so, here's a lazy opinions: check yesterday's post. Also, now gold is being sold at 50 gold for 150 ncoins - 100 gold for 300 ncoins or 5€. Or just 20x150 ncoins = 3000 ncoins - you need to buy 8x 400 ncoins = 3200 ncoins = 40€. This makes it 10€ cheaper to buy 1000 gold!
  6. If I had to guess, controller support has never been a priority. Personally, I hate playing with controllers. But, I know that there's people with disabilities that prefer/must play with controller. For something that is an integral part of Unreal Engine 4, I would assume it would be one of the first things to be implemented. There's 15-20 minute videos on how to implement it basic support for it. Here's a nearly 3 minute video showing it: THIS IS JUST FOR BASIC SUPPORT! It's not as complex as BnS needs it to be, but, it gives you an idea of how easy it is to set BASIC support. However, it will probably take a few years for us to get support for it, once Korea has it... Based on the fact that the stack size is still 9999 instead of 29999...
  7. Today's specials - 2022-05-02 Basically, 100 gold for 400 ncoins - 5€ The Sparkling Unity Pearl and the Radiant Hongmoon Quick XP Charm are nice, but they aren't worth 5€ each. The 50 Elysian Orbs can be bought for 105 gold or for free from Soul Boost. The 100 Sacred Orbs can be bought for about 89 gold: Everything else, we get bucket loads for free, from dungeons. All that's kinda-ish worth-ish are the Sparkling Unity Pearl and the Radiant Hongmoon Quick XP Charm. But they are pricey for what they are.
  8. Known issue: VR headsets cause the game to run at 0 or 1 FPS until you unplug it.
  9. You can thank all, any and every single person that asked for an anti-cheat for this one. As part of the anti-cheat, the game process is hidden. Which storage device do you have? Have you tried unplugging your vr headset?
  10. There are today's specials - 2022-04-30: Sacred Vial x3 - 10€ - Overpriced - this item, that's usually given for free on events, but was removed from current event out of greed Pristine Oil - 10€ - Useless Honing Oils - 5€ - We get these for free Pet Packs - 5€ - Overpriced - Check the Sacred Vials for reason why Overstuffed ... Pouch - 10€ - The amount in this bag won't help to improve on what we get from Soul Boost Hongmoon Gem Powder - 5€ - Pretty useless... Elite Hongmoon ... voucher - 20€ - This is an absolute robbery! We get the non-upgradable ones from Soul Boost Hongmoon ... voucher - 15€ - Same reason... This selection is absolutely garbage and a spit on people's face. The real money price is based on this link: https://www.bladeandsoul.com/en-us/shop/ncoin I'm calculating at 400 ncoins = 5€. Even if something is less than 400 ncoins, you need to buy 400 ncoins - 5€ - to buy it. Expanding on my opinion: The presence of Pet Pods and Sacred Vials in the Today's Specials shows an absolute lack of self-awareness, a massive amount of greed and a disrespect to the playerbase. You made an event that doesn't provide those items, while all others previously have, and now you sell it to us. You made a problem and you're selling us the solution. Pure greed... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regarding the gems and gem powders... TL;DR: ANY GEM STUFF IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE IDEA TO BUY! FINISH SOUL BOOST INSTEAD! Cold Storage provides us with Heptagonal Gem stones. These are the costs to make each gem after: Octagonal - 3 Hepta, 8 Gem Powder and 10 gold and 50 silver Gilded Triangular - 3 Octa, 32 Gem Powder and 20 gold Gilded Square - 3 Gilded Triangular, 128 Gem Powder and 40 gold Gilded Penta - 3 Gilded Square, 180 Gem Powder, 180 Soulstone Crystals and 60 gold Gilded Hexa - 3 Gilded Penta, 240 Gem Powder, 240 Soulstone Crystals and 80 gold Gilded Hepta - 3 Gilded Hexa, 300 Gem Powder, 300 Soulstone Crystals and 100 gold To make 1 Gilded Penta, it takes: 1 Gilded Pentagonal Sub-total: 180 Gem Powder, 180 Soulstone Crystals and 60 gold 3 Gilded Squares 3x 128 Gem Powder and 40 gold Sub-total: 384 Gem Powders and 120 Gold 9 Gilded Triangles 9x 32 Gem Powder and 20 gold Sub-total: 228 Gem Powders and 180 gold 27 Octagonal 27x 8 Gem Powder and 10 gold and 50 silver Sub-total: 216 Gem Powder and 84 gold 81 Heptagonal - From drops Free That gives us a total of: 1008 Gem Powder, 180 Soulstone Crystals and 444 Gold On the 27th, NCWest was selling gold at a rate of 1:0.25: Aka: 100 gold costs 400 hmcoins or 5€ To make 1 Gilded Penta, it costs you up to 20x Gem Pouches and 4x Secret Safe - up to 9600 ncoins or 120€ Why all this rambling about the Gem thingy? Well... This is to show how utterly pointless and useless that "overstuffed" bag is. If you want to get at the same level that you get from Soul Boost, you can either: Spend about 120€ to make each gem, however, you need to do a trillion runs of Cold Storage to get enough Hepta. Buy 1x Elite [...] Gem Voucher (1500 ncoins) and 5x Gem Voucher (5x1000 ncoins) This is a total of 6500 ncoins, or 85€ Be incredibly lucky in Daily Dash and get 9x Gilded Triangle gems, which reduces the cost per gem to: 1 Gilded Pentagonal Sub-total: 180 Gem Powders, 180 Soulstone Crystals and 60 gold 3 Gilded Squares 3x 128 Gem Powder and 40 gold Sub-total: 384 Gem Powders and 120 Gold Total of: 564 Gem Powders, 180 Soulstones and 180 gold Up to 7x Gem Powder Pouches and 1x Small Safe = 40€ All of these assume you buy the gold and materials through official means, with ncoins. If you want to have upgradable gems at the same level as what you get from Soul Boost, you will need to pay at least 85€. If you want to upgrade from the Gilded Penta to the Gilded Hexa, you need to spend 3x 6500 = 19500 ncoins = 245€ Then you need 240 Gem Powder, 240 Soulstone Crystals and 80 gold per gem (6 gems total), which is: 1440 Gew Powder, 1440 Soulstone Crystals and 480 gold. That costs up to 29x Gem Powder Pouches, 1440 Soulstone Crystals and 5x Small Safe. I won't put it into ncoins and euros because lazy. There is absolutely no reason at all to buy any of these. Unless you have money just burning holes in your pockets, or you just are a Trillionaire.
  11. Moonwater Plains - The Highland Necropolis - Orchard of Souls This spot here forces you to spin and stand in the air:
  12. Really. Why are they always so incomplete? Lets take this week's maintenance post: All it says is: Level requirements from some Soul Boost rewards have been adjusted. This is absolutely incomplete. You know what else was fixed? The NPC was fixed! This week! The table still looks absolutely horrible with the low quality textures, but the seizure-inducing bounding t-pose has been fixed. However, there's not even a single mention of it anywhere. You (NCWest) asked us to report the bugs we see in UE4: However, you fix the bug and stay tight-lipped about it. How do I know it was fixed this week? I was there before the maintenance. And today, just by pure chance, I noticed the NPC wasn't bouncing. This makes me wonder about what else is broken that's being just thrown under the rug... But anyway... Can we, PLEASE, get properly complete patch notes and maintenance notices?
  13. Still no mention of this... Would be nice to see this implemented.
  14. I don't know what that is. I heard about those issues on raids, but it was mostly network lag and fps. You could help by removing skill illusion books and some outfits with effects. Apparently, having some people in the party would cause issues to everybody. That's all I know about that. I only started doing TT raids after Call to Arms 2.
  15. I didn't feel it at all in UE3, but is a constant in UE4.
  16. I need to check this. You gave me great ideas to mess with those botters.
  17. https://us.ncsoft.com/en-us/legal/archive/blade-and-soul/blade-and-soul-rules-of-conduct Yes, and that is probably caused by the global autobias (aka: GCD), which is set to 100ms. I couldn't find where this is set, but I remember that a setting existed for it but was removed.
  18. Bokgon Hideout - This wall has incorrect collision:
  19. I'm surprised they banned anyone at all for it. Usually it is just ignored. "We will investigate" but nothing happens.
  20. I don't use macros. I use simple mode. Really? I though it was just frowned upon. I haven't read the terms and conditions at all! (This is sarcasm) No it's not. Pressing X then C causes the X input to be ignored most of the time. This is by me, pressing the keys on the keyboard, like a human would. No it didn't. It got a trillion times worse. It's a lot smoother to play in NA with 100+ms than playing in EU with ~50ms.
  21. Irontech Forge's entrance is all bugged, with missing geometry:
  22. That is even more annoying that Shift+E. I think the cause is the butchered "net code". I'm 300% sure that all they did was to use the ping instead of the round-trip time on all calculations, and didn't change anything else. Now, GCD is still at 100, and it causes issues because your ping isn't 100 but a lot lower. Maybe disabling it will help with this, if the ping is lower than 100.
  23. This happens to be from anywhere between 30 to 120fps. It also happens regardless of the ping. The worst of them all is the talisman... Pressing Shift-E 20 times to trigger it...
  24. It was so rare, and only when my ping spiked, which is expected. Or when playing with an ingame ping above 200ms. In UE4, this happens with 45-55ms ping ingame. In UE3, this didn't happen (TO ME) with 90-110ms ping ingame.
  25. I keep saying this, and all people do is just bash on me, as if I was crazy. I keep getting inputs ignored all the time, and sometimes I need to press the same skill 10 times for it to trigger. This did not happen with UE3. Same ping as before. I don't think that we will ever see a fix for this.
