Whyy

@Hime Can we please remove the character limit of 2 from the Thornwind Accessory Chests like we previously had. It makes no sense to have a limit especially when there is THREE accessories in the chest. My guess is it's an oversight and could we please get it fixed 😄

KR can still use XMLs and they have been for the longest time. Don't just say things when you don't know what you're talking about.

Do you have anything to actually add or are you just speaking to speak? I've played this game since 50 days, XML/client editing has been a thing throughout both Anti cheats, anti cheats don't stop those things and won't stop those things. XMLs are still being used in KR and they actually care about cheaters. They ban people and reset ladders if someone has cheated a ranking. I have proof of all of this, do you have proof of me being wrong on anything? If not, then stop blindly just thinking an anti cheat, that again will be bypassed in a couple days after it has been released, will actually do anything. KR has an anti cheat with a heartbeat, it's constantly checking and guess what, there's a bypass and even if you don't bypass, client/XML editing still works. So continue talking about something you know nothing about. 🙂

People really expect for an anti cheat to magically fix all these problems. Auto casting skills, botting, GCD, and client/XML editing will all still exist even with an anti-cheat. The only thing that wouldn't be able to be used would be cheat engine, but then again there's an extremely high chance that a bypass will publicly be available in the first couple of days. For any fellow 6s players that believe that an anti-cheat will somehow fix auto casting, you're wrong. KR which has an anti-cheat with a heartbeat is still able to use XMLs including auto cast. An anti-cheat would, like I previously stated, ONLY effect the use of Cheat Engine. Stop talking like you know how any of this works and just begging for something that won't fix anything. We would need NCWest to be more strict when it comes to people being reported with video proof which will sadly never happen most likely. So get off the high horse of "aNtI cHeAt FiX gAmE", understand how things actually work, and understand that an anti-cheat would be just as useless as it was when we had it before. For any actual change, it needs to be on how NCWest investigates claims of cheating/abuse and for them to actually take action against them. Otherwise until this game dies in the West, we will have auto casting, botting, GCD, and client/XML editing. @Hime Don't waste your guys' and KR's time. The actual issues are much harder to deal with than an Anti-cheat.

No no, it's wintrading, games don't pop until 7-8 PST usually, these games are 100% wintrades

It's not working though. Sure in the short term there's some money coming in, but there is always money coming in. These upgrade paths will kill the game faster than it's already dying. As well as make people who were willing to spend a little here and there not want to spend because the upgrades are now RNG. They are going to lose more than they gain.

Um how about no? The Unity level was just raised and there are plenty of people still in the mid to high 100. There is zero reason to up the unity level.

I can understand how you can think like this, but let me explain why you're not 100% right. Lets say I spent the 20k that I said I could have spent, that's about $11 a day over 5 years. Is that a lot, I would say yes but also depends on who you talk to, some people spend way more than that a day on things daily but that's neither here nor there. I was also spending this much money because I enjoyed the game and wanted to support the company while also helping myself gear faster. I liked how our upgrade system worked and the fact it wasn't RNG like KR and how the game was going. I'm upset now that we're getting RNG upgrades from KR that we were never supposed to see due to our region being free to play while KR was pay to play, but I don't know if you even knew that. As well as I spent 10-20k over 5 years, so a low 5 figures. I know people who have spent 5 figures this last week on BnS, so if me spending at most 20k over 5 years is being the problem then by all means blame me, but I think there are people with a lot deeper pockets that are really the problem feeding these types of issues. People spend 4-5 figures a month no problem, I doubt me spending roughly $330 a month over 5 years is the problem, but I could see how it's easy to point blame at me. Edit for clarity: I'm upset with the new badges from raid which has KR upgrades which we should have never seen. We haven't seen this type of upgrading throughout 5 years and just got it now. There is zero reason for it as our regions are different. That's what I'm upset about.

As a whale, who has easily spent somewhere between $10-20k over the years (Yes it's a big gap because I'm really not sure), can all this RNG upgrade and getting closer and closer to P2W stuff stop for the love of god? I don't know if it's KR that's tell you guys to do this because obviously they have the most power or if you guys are trying to kill off NA/EU more than it's already dying but this stuff has to stop if you guys want to keep a lively and happy player base. It's getting ridiculous at this point, and the game is already dying. This is going to kill your game faster, no you're not going to get more players like this, yes people will still spend but those are the people who have no money problems. People who were willing to spend a little here and there to be able to kind of stay up to the whales are getting left behind and it's going to make them want to quit and not spend. You're going to lose more than you gain. Yes, this game is a business, but you can have it be a business while also having more incentives to make people spend while also not screwing over the F2P/Low spenders. I've been defending this game for a while, but now all the stuff that keeps coming out just makes me not want to play anymore. I know me quitting won't hurt too much, but the more this stuff keeps happening the more people will quit. I was hype for the new raid, but the new badges require 60k+ gold to upgrade while being RNG to upgrade and giving you random stages. That's only one badge out of the TWO you get, so you're looking to spend about 120k+ gold for these upgrades, what is the thought process there. We're not KR, stop giving us things like this, this new unity and Ancient system was more than enough to milk your players...Now this? Dumb, completely dumb. @Hime Please shed some light on what's happening. I love this game and I want it to prosper I really do. The combat is unique, the raids are enjoyable, even with the crap optimization I still enjoy it with the 20 FPS I get. Please stop and realize that the game is dying and we need more friendly things not this "if you don't whale you're screwed" type stuff. Please and if it's on KR's side that are making you guys do this, try to fight it please. We just want to enjoy the game, I have no problem spending money as long as it's not getting to where it is right now. BnS has been on a downward slope, but this last update just drove it right down.

Be careful when troving sometimes the 40/40 won't crit and you get screwed out of a crit @Hime

There's one thing everyone is forgetting. NCSoft balances the game based on the Korean meta, NA/EU doesn't have their own balance team and they can't do much but follow what Korea says. We're not getting anything changed that will really fix our regions probably ever.

Awesome will do, thank you!

Oh the changes I'm talking about were on September 1st and September 9th in KR. So that means they are in there just not on the patch list. That's great to hear honestly. Thank you for such a speedy reply!

So I'm confused. In the patch notes KFM is missing a couple things that changed way before most of the Destroyer changes and yet they aren't there. Why is our Comet strike getting nerfed after it was reverted the next week in KR, where are the Fire KFM soulshield buffs, where are the wind PvP modifier buffs (this one I don't really care about cause who plays wind in PvP anymore), the searing dragon buff etc. If it's there and just not listed on the patch notes that's fine, but our comet strike nerf is there when it shouldn't be. Hopefully it's just some miscommunication. @Hime Do you happen to have any information on this?

This needs to be removed.
