To answer your question it is worth it if you are solely looking for PVE Content but you will be heavily bottlenecked by the ammount of Gold you can earn without PVP cause the fastest way is to play booth. Hard no its basically 100 runs and you are done. We are currently getting 4th gen accesories and you can get 3rd with ease. Not really its still super expensive but its super easy nowdays to get decent gear. You can just continure your chars i dont see a problem here but most if not all of your stuff will be trash by now. In short: If you are looking for a PVE only game this is the correct game for you but if you want more like raids or pvp its gonna be hard. 1. To get to a non pleb raid you will need so much gear that by then you will probably no longer play the game anyway. 2. PVP Balance is at low since 2 years. 3. Cheaters are rarely banned and if they are banned its usually only for 3 days and they are allowed to play on as many accounts as they want. 4. Playerbase is so low in PVP for 6v6 you know everyone by name and in 1v1 just like 3v3 you will not find any games if you dont wait atleast 10 minutes for a que and even then its most likely a win trader who simply quits the game cause he dosent want to play pvp just get rank points. 5. Performance of this game is unplayable unless you use community created patches or mods. (Personally i cant call 10 FPS with an I7 9700k and RTX 3060ti playable. )

Since they banned some players recently cause they used Godsword (skill that insta kills everything it touches) i thought why not try and report a cheater after such a long time. So i recorded 2 PVP matches where the enemy KFM is using Titan surge cheat which makes it possible to be in titan surge stance 24/7 even from the beginning of the match you dont have to fill stacks or anything to get into this stance. Its a stupid cheat cause all i have to do to counter it is stun them from range since their godmode only applies when i am in melee range but its still a cheat and ive seen alot of players try to attack him in melee cause they dont know better which gives some KFMs gold rank easy. The vid is 35 sec long and ive sent them another cheater too which is also just some seconds long. If support would do their job they would look into the vid and see the name of the cheater and what kind of cheat he uses after that a perma ban would be unavoidable ! But they say "thank you for your report but we have to investigate. This might take a while" and i am like "wtf is there to investigate" ? @Hime why do you guys have people like that in support ? Instead of speaking about new outfits and stuff we are in serious need of a working support team. I rather dont report cheaters at all than waste my time on something like that cause i know if it dosent involve F10 they will not get banned.

Upgrade ur gear.

Its no issue to experienced players so its no issue for NCwest. The sad part about this is new players occasionally want to buy thoose and think they are pretty cheap but then see the Sale has already finished everytime they try to buy. New players simply think either their game is broken or they are doing something wrong.

Simple answer: No there is no way Reason: Back in 2017 i think, they wanted to make it faster to farm certain materials thats why they created the Crystal versions so they can give us more materials without destroying the Market. This is also why alot of players have for example 30K Soulstone Crystals or 10K Moonstone Crystals and have no use for them.

5 Posts already thats more than we expect of a community manager in a year here in forums. Sarcasmn aside. I think he/she means cause the community expects certain things from you like activity and informations about certain stuff for example why wintraders etc. are not getting punished but you guys are most likely forbidden to answer thoose questions and have to keep silent which lets it look like you are not doing ur job and community is getting toxic towards you. In the end this can result in a burnout or something like this making you quit. So please dont take anything personal its just ur job after all.

Yeah but we dont need a ban for them simply remove them from the leaderboards if they are cheating. I am simply not liking the idea of banning players if its already hard to get a 6 man group for dungeons. For Arena we need Class based leaderboards (1 class per account) and a ban for everyone connecting from a country which is supposed to be region locked cause they have their own server. If you play or played Arena alot then you know what i mean. For BG i think a limit to 1 class per team would do the trick already. There is not a single cheat ive seen so far that makes it impossible for me to beat my enemy. The Balance issue is a far bigger problem i think cause what are you supposed to do against a class that has a like 90% dmg reduction + cc immunity every 36 seconds or even less while having 2 tab escapes and defense abilitys equal to a mobile warden and dmg nearly like a gunner. Actully they are big brain cause they know there is no punishment and they use everything they can. Its sad NCsoft ignores it. Trust me its a small ammount if you cant consider urselfe a big whale. People like the FM probably pay like atleast 10k each trove or even more. Not exactly. We have seen a reduction in income over the years yeah but looking at the playerbase we have also seen that people pay alot more per person now due to the increase of "pay to win mechanics" (only 6v6 is pay to win). Judging by the playerbase their income should be like 10% of year 1 but its not. They compensate the lost players by making more cash stuff.

11312 but i sent you a link to a FAQ. You should join the BNS Acedamy Discord there are any kind of guides, macros, addons etc. you need to play ur class.

Sure there are things that are easy to track down but you let it sound like they should not punish other stuff. Even if its just insta open boxes its edititng the game which is prophibited by the TOS and can result in a ban in theory atleast. Personally i want them to act as they have written it down in TOS. The biggest cheaters are looking into the gamefiles each day to find new stuff and this stuff needs to long to be noticed if they dont ban for any kind of game editing stuff. Since i think this game is probably unplayable without thoose changes i can totally understand your concerns thou. Well you do know how capitalismn works ? You cannot just ban like 80% of your income. Its sad but they cant do much about it. On the other hand if they do something to simply block the cheats so they dont work anymore that would solve this problem too but as the past showed even when they tried and even before we get the patch community already has a workaround for the anti cheat stuff. I am here since release i know how terrible they are. Ive sent them alot of vid and picture proof in the past too but nothing happens really so i stoped. Thats a bad way of thinking usually found in like 13 year olds. If my enemy cheats i have to cheat to even tho my enemy is long gone. I was thinking the same way when i was like 13 years but it was call of duty. I wanted to cheat to beat the cheaters but it didnt stay by that. Nowdays i dont use anything that could give me an advantage in a pvp related thing. Its simple they look into the new stuff patches give you and see if they can change the text so it can be used to their advantage. I heared the one shot thing was possible cause NC patched the skills from new boss (not ingame yet) into the data and forgot to make them server side like every skill is. This way they where able to edit it that it replaces one of ur own skills instaed.

For PVP its everything on 3 expect ur hooks thats on 1. So it should be 33133.

Me a sf i do 1v1 in BG alot against destroyer cause i know they are no threat if they stop spinning for me and i am useless in a teamfight against force masters but he is not hitting me nor am i attacking him he dosent seem to have a cooldown at all on red spin. Its usually like this: I come, He red spin, i evade his spin via iframe till he stops, he attacks for 0.5 seconds and goes behind his shield, i have to wait cause i have nothing to break through, he gets out of shield and repeats everything. I dont hit him nor do i get hit by him. If you disagree tell me how is this accaptable ? They might run out of focus someday but till then they have shield which cannot be broken by every class. Also if they attack 1 attack = 700k hp. Thx to my hp buff i have 900k but for such a tanky class to much for my taste aswell. Like i said above dosent help. You might confuse a good destroyer that way but you will not be able to kill him unless you play some huge pve dmg class like fm or gunner. Thats litterly the only thing you can do against des. Ignore the spot where he is but imagine there are 3 destryoers in enemy and each on 1 spot. If your team dosent have huge pve dmg like gunner you can afk. Good idea where do i have such a skill ? You cannot only think with the mind of an FM alot of classes dont have abilitys to fight back. Summoner, Soul fighter........... Imagine not playing a meta class like: FM, KFM, Sin, Destroyer. If there is more than 1 FM on a spot i am only feeding the enemy with my existance. The point here is not that destroyer is op or something cause its not but it has abilitys that shouldnt exist just like fm and assasin so we complain.

Dont get me wrong i hate NCwest (west not KR) but i have to write what would result in banning all cheaters. Have you ever tryed to run dungeons ? Have you ever tryed to play PVP ? If you are an active PVP Player you probably know every single player by name cause the playerbase is so low and dungeons are often hard to get 6 players for nowdays. Its forbidden and banable to use any third party software or edits in this game making like 98% of players cheaters and if they ban all thoose it would be more logical to simply turn off the game completly. There is no anti cheat or whatever that could tell them "oh this player edits that and it results in that" it would ban to many players. There are only 3 options for them: 1. Ban them manually with 100% evidence which is hard cause alot of stuff can only be seen if you are an experienced player and we know NC Employees do not play the game and have no idea about it so this one would be hard. 2. announce every third party thing even the smallest thing will get a ban and give the players ingame options for the simple stuff like macro etc. if they still use third party stuff give them automaticly a 3 day ban if they keep using it perma. 3. Ignore the cheaters and let the game run till it gives no more profit. You cant just ban "cheaters" cause litterly everyone is a cheater here. There is no ingame function to open boxes instant for example but guess what like 98% of players do. It dosent hurt anyone but it is a third party thing and it is a cheat.

The Battleground Vendor who you can find for example in: Mushin Tower or Jadestone vilage. Easiest way would be to simply buy it when you are in a match cause the vendor is there right before a match starts anyway. You need 28k battle points which is around maybe 50 matches considering you have a winrate of around 50%. Again it is RNG what grade of amulet you get Legendary is the best you can get with thoose 28k to my knowledge but Awakened exists.

Was just talking about air cause it would be the easiest way to simply give us the old warlock back cause it would be litterly like current third spec bm just with less defence. Please stop with all that range protection. It makes no sense. There are several projectiles that even go through this even tho they shouldnt. I dont like the idea of range protection at all. What about making his Q (the thing where he stays in air) not use a hook so its actully an iframe. Just what i am always saying. It has to much dmg to be as tanky as it is. My class (Soul fighter) has big survivability due to iframes (as long as there is no Ice FM) but the dmg output lacks alot one aerial often only does 20% of enemy health if i dont use PVE Bracelet but then my survivability gets reduced by alot. Decisions like this should be needed for FM too. Yeah we have to see what third brings but i doubt it will be good either. Before that we would need an FPS fix in my oppinion cause everytime someone goes woof woof in 6v6 alot of people including me freeze which is probably 90% the reason someone dies to woof woof at all. As ive said solution is very easy. I dont get why a class that can go stealth and has two tab escapes has so much resist skills in teh first place.

Well you can Acquire them via Events usually but like 90% of events are aimed towards lvl 60 players so there is no way for you to farm them yet. If you are lvl 60 they are useless aswell just like you wrote already. They heal for what ? 15k ? Even the worst geared char has atleast 200k health and thoose potions have a cooldown. Also you have to use your event currency to get them which is even worse cause you have to decide either get potions you will never need cause its not even healing 10% of your health or get stuff you really need to upgrade your stuff.

Actully its more like 150 Rating right now or even 200 sometimes very rare thou. Thats not correct sadly. This would increase the times you get matched against the same player and if you get farmed 3 times by the same player even if its only 2 points you will get annoyed and thats another reason to simply not play pvp anymore your idea would simply make it so we can play against him like 10 times or whatever making pvp even worse than it is. Easiest way to make it more new player friendly is in my oppinion this class based ranking and making it impossible to que against the same player more than twice in a row. Its super easy currently cause it is rng. Just get urselfe basic PVP equipment and try to help the team objective wise. Dont run in without gear thinking you can be helpfull in a 6v6 fight. Well thats on them if they are lacking the skill, gear, class to be viable. I simply said i expect them to have the basic gear to join. Not to be usefull but to show your other players you are actully trying and your purpose to joining is not griefing a game like some very funny Archer does.

this would help new players in their very first game but it increases the suffering by alot if you are simply lucky and win some matches. 6v6 is RNG after all. But i agree it would make the que a bit better but also it would probably make it harder to get a match in low elo at all cause even less people would be in que there. Your idea is basically "make low elo dead so high elo can have bigger numbers at their medal". What is the reason for thoose top 5 players to play in such a low elo ? they cant find matches above 1700 and they want to earn Soul stones. You wont increase 1v1 playerbase by simply making the game even more dead than it already is. Thoose top 5 players will probably get even faster to a rating they cant find matches anymore due to your idea and if they derank it takes ages for them to get other players making it a huge pain and it might even result in more players quitting pvp cause well no games. It would simply make the top players lose on purpose way earlier cause they know there is no que above a certain point. Just like they do right now. In terms of 1v1 we need a class based ranking as i suggested alot of times since 5 years now. If you have 1 FM on your account who is 1800 rating then all ur fms have to have the same rating. Like i said i dont think top players will leave silver.

I didnt say that anywhere here. I do think without gear you should not be able to join 6v6 at all but if you dont have gear and join cause you dont know better its fine to me as long as you dont que again knowing what this gamemode is. I am talking here about the minimum of 1st gen legendary PVP stuff like the Belt from Drowning deeps and Beluga Soul shield. The cost to get this stuff is litterly 0 silver and 0 gold. If you join multiple times and dont care its simply griefing the games. How should they do this ? There is no reasonable way to balance the rating system in 6v6 to get such a result. If you say "make the gear score count" you will not get a que anymore cause game wont find a perfect game also why should i upgrade my gear if my enemy always has the same gear. If you say "game lvl count" people will create hm 12 story chars and send all their gear there. ......... Its simply not possible. The current rating system is great and fine the problem is the low playerbase which is why the game is forced to make matches like it does right now. The Balance needs to be reworked so we get more players not the rating. It was designed for a huge playerbase but like i said offer a solution which i am unable to disprove its use. I cant think of a single system that would bring a good result without making 6v6 unplayable. Nah simply ban them from chat. But agan alot of the flame is behind a reason like people joining without gear on purpose. Also this whole thread was about people who have mains with max gear for example and they see another player in que which they dont like and decide to switch to one of their low bob no gear chars to lose on purpose without risking their own rating.

For PVP you want 2/3/2/2/1 or 2/3/2/2/3 depending on what you need. DMG or resist. For 6v6 you want 2/2/2/2/1. I not ingame right now but that should be it. But really i have to say dont boother with pvp anymore. 1v1 is dead since last season starting with 1500 rating i keep getting only top 5 players or atleast top 10 players (i am here since release i know their names) and usually like 3 or even more times the same dude on his 200 alts usually Assasin aswell. For 3v3 you will mostly only encounter top players too its rare to not see a team not consisting of atleast 2 top players. Overall the PVP playerbase for 1v1 and 3v3 is around 10 players probably with 2000 alts. Its impossible for a new player to learn pvp at this point cause they will simply get stomped. 6v6 is another thing but you need alot of gear which should take you at ur current state atleast 4 months or even more.

Well we are complaining since the awakening update came or even longer and to this day they have not given us a single patch which would balance out the game a bit. Yeah the last patch making Destroyer shield breakable is nice atleast some kind of nerf but not every class can do that and their red spin still gives to much defense making them still way to strong as you mentioned. Very simple: Blade master: No untargatable Destroyer: Increase Cooldown of Red spins so he has cd atleast for like 8 sec after Red spin. Summoner: Rather needs an additional CC i feel like they are to weak right now. Force Master: Tab walk needs a bigger CD so they cannot 24/7 walk in immunity or make T-Pose stunable Kung Fu master: Its fine as it is Assasin: Simply make their tab godmode stance stunable and increase cap time in beluga atleast 1 sec above what his C skill gives Blade dancer: Is a hard topic in 6v6 i think its fine but 1v1/3v3 its totally broken. Maybe give shields a slight bigger cd by 2 sec ? Warlock: Double aerial again but with the dmg of BM third aerial. Currently it has no offensive. Soul fighter: Just optimise the washing maschine it gives lags af. Gunslinger: a bit more mobility by decreasing Hook CD cause outside of 6v6 it dies due to no iframes. Warden: Blade ward needs more CD so you are without for atleast 8 sec just like Des. Archer: 1. make it possible to stun him while he airs. cant even save you unless you have a fm frost or whatever. 2. reduce the distance he can aerial you from 3. for light make his get up "1" breakable. Currently its as strong as a tab escape which means they have 3 tab escapes. A class which is super hard to stun in the first place. Astromancer: The first class i dont think needs balance patches. Its litterly a fire fm but with slightly better defence and a bit less damage. I have pvp exp with the following: BM, Destroyer, Summoner, FM, KFM, Sin, BD, Warlock, SF, Gun, Warden,

Could it be you logged in at like 3 am ? Humans need sleep you know. F8 is pretty much dead yeah above CC there are no players in LFP and if there are its usually a single HM 14 with gear that would barely be enough for BT raid. If you cannot run current content with a decent ammount of waiting time (like 2 mins i would say at max) then a que is dead but its not as bad as you let it sound like unless you search at like 3 am.

There are several reasons for this. 1. NCsoft is not really helping in keeping the playerbase alive. I mean every patch is bad and they know it but dont care. 2. Most dungeons can be run solo very easy and you dont need much gear for it at all. So to keep the rewards for urselfe alot of players run solo. 3. Dailies are not worth it anymore cause they give to low reward compared to what 20 runs of doll would bring in the same time. I agree to WaiCh we need easy mode this would reduce the time for the dungeons and more alts would come making the que alive again.

Assuming you mean hime as in the "community manager" hime how is she supposed to know about the bugs that you say have been reported ? Its very unlikely she gets the infos about stuff like this from the tickets. Her Job is to manage the community which she is trying hard. So if its not posted in forums she can also only assume you are one of the people who dont understand their class or whatever and complain about this. P.S there are actully people demanding buffs for archer, Blade dancer etc. cause they are so weak in pvp. Simply write down what kind of bugs you mean and people will either tell you "you are wrong" or "ah thats what you mean that sucks" either way posting a mystery about a bug no one knows about is the wrong way. I also know several BD mains and none of them complained about something gamebreaking like you let it sound like.

Thats Korea. If there is no announcement for EU/NA yet then it will probably not come at all if we are looking in the past and their releases. Looking in the future they are holding an event for their 5th anniversay and we will most likely see a 6th and 7th too i doubt the 8th thou. There is still new content being released in KR we dont have to worry. Quality of new content is another thing cause we are getting super bad patches since 2 years now.

There already is a BNS for mobile out there but i think its revolution. Anyway its the PC version but with better graphics and worse controls. PVP is a really big part of BNS and thats not really appealing if the game is pay to win (mobile game after all) and has only touch controls. I am also playing more and more Call of duty instead of BNS. I used to play atleast 6 hours a day but now its usually only 2 hours at max cause i dont like the PVP anymore. I doubt BNS will be big on mobile here in NA/EU.
