[Biggest issue in BNS and possible solutions.]

Hoping for Greenstorm to see this;

 

As an end game player, I believe one of the biggest issues that needs to be solved in this game is our lack of gold income.

 

This problem becomes even more apparent when compared to the gold income for the Korean servers, as we have less sources of gold but the same costs as they do for upgrades. When they received the updated daily challenge reward and rest system, it came with an added benefit of receiving a gold box if you completed your 5/5 set dailies on a character, which guarantees 1k gold per character on your account each day. Additionally, in the Korean server, if you have premium membership you are able to "purchase" a free key in the Hongmoon Store (F10) that's limited to one per account. When used on the box, that key guarantees 2k-10k gold PER DAY.

 

This is allows players to have a significantly higher rate of upgrades for their Starcross accessories and Upsurge weapon, among other things. Comparatively, we are only able to earn less than 500g per character, and that is only if we complete every F8 dungeon (not just the daily challenge) and all solo dungeons (Sanctum of Masters, Den of the Ancients, Spectral Shrine, and Shrouded Ajanara). This shows that not only do we have to put in more work per character, but we also earn less gold.

Even doubling our gold income will not be enough to solve the issue.
 

Another present issue is resources for upgrading our Starcross accessories particularly.

 

Consider the situation where we have the gold needed for the upgrades. Unfortunately, we do not receive enough 'Radiant' and 'Shadowed' Starcross crystals compared to our Korean Server counterpart. So NA/EU players need to farm all day just for a few attempts at upgrading their gear, as opposed to the previously mentioned accelerated rate of upgrades for the Korean server.

 

Is the current expectation to burn ourselves out farming a single dungeon 4-8 hours a day to try to match the Korean rate of upgrades? No one in our region is max geared as it is not reasonably feasible. The amount of gold needed and the amount of Starcross crystals is absurd compared to the current income of these resources for our servers.

 

Please look into it as it would greatly benefit the remaining player base.

[Are we getting the new gold box with the daily challenge update?]

I had some hope since GreenStorm talked about "Looking into the lack of gold in the NA/EU region".

I thought maybe that was acknowledgement of the new Daily Challenge system but alas unless that image is old. It seems like we are getting no gold box.

I still have to make a post about all the stuff our region is missing.
1. No octa gilded diamond.
2. Most items arent stacking to 29999.
3. Can't bulk use xp charms.
More stuff but i need to find my old list of stuff that we are missing.

[Are we getting the new gold box with the daily challenge update?]

I really hope we get the gold box the Korean region obtained.
The NA and EU region does not have a good way of making gold. Doing 4 sets of dailies for a %2 upgrade chance on our accesories is not right.

For the demonsbane system we were given the korean cost without the korean gold which has left us at a disadvantage when upgrading our gear.

[Botched Unchained Chaos Patch]

Exactly, the patch notes is just worded a little badly.
But yes when you use the class change, you first select the race you want to be then the class, then female/male.

You cannot chose a GON BD or a Lyn Destroyer.

Thats all that line in the patch note refers to.

[Any Mod response on people XP botting aerodome?]

I really wonder if low geared people see a high hm player and automatically think thats a bot.

I will pay more attention when farming AD for xp. But at-least for high floors botting seems to be less likely.

1b+ hp per ad. Fatigue,totems, ripple etc. would just destroy the efficiency to the point that going back to eva is more worth it.

[System Error After Update.]

Server: Yura
Character : CarbonFanatic
Ncwest Head office is in the USA, so i assume "tomorrow morning" is PST time like most of their stuff.

CEST right? It's already morning here so FIX the issue. You are not really going to tell us, that NCSOFT can't fix an issue and are going to keep many people logged off for over 24 hours right? it has been 19 hours since start of maintenance, people pay for premium membership and so on.

Taking day off to enjoy new 3rd WL class was my second mistake ever done, first mistake was that I even had any trust in NCSOFT and started playing this game, I must say that customer service is starting to get worse than gameforge and it takes a lot to be worse..

 

[Weapon buffs missing for awakened skills]

On both fire and shadow gunner my awakened bullet storm doesn't get buffed by the weapon. Is this a known issue? Because they used to boost the damage of awakened bulletstorm.
