...Had the same issue... solved it by using a different browser..Normally I use Firefox, but, on the advice of support, used Chrome instead, and was able to complete my transaction no prob...

....I can't get my Login rewards once more.. Is this some sort of annual event now? Is anyone else having this issue?

...It was long ago as things pass here, and I was with a party, and we were doing the Warped Citadel.. We had successfully beaten the 1st boss, Kangrim, and went up the stairs and past the entry shield/door.. now I always liked to glide down the long stairway there, and did so, when I suddenly lost the ability to glide at all, teetering on the edge of the expanse.... Another player fell to the bottom, and had no way out, no way to move forward.... He opted to exit the dungeon...After a bit of failed attempts to glide at all, I went back UP the stairs and excited that area through the shield/door... Then reentered the shield/door, and my ability to glide was restored!.. I caught up with the party and finished the dungeon...
...I went back solo some time later and just explored that space, finding where I could glide and climb, and was surprised at the number of interesting places I could get to, and, eventually was able to solo the dungeon as well... Just a curious Kat...

...My poor Katgirl gunner is sexually confused because of all this, as "HER" F2 picture is a guy... At least make it female!!! Why B&S refuses to listen to its customer base is a real mystery... Do they simply not GAC? A pity, and Master Hong would be ashamed... He never cared who or what you were, you were simply his student in the Hongmoon Arts and were welcome in the temple...(and the puppy in the office never cared either, its always excited to see you...)...B&S should follow their example...
...I wish B&S wanted us as much as they want our money...

...I was browsing through one of the bookshelves in Master Hong's Office one day after playing with the puppy, when I spotted a tattered old journal.... Turns out it was Master Hong's diary when he was a young disciple in another temple, and although much of it was smudged, I found out he had some interesting hobbies... Turns out, he liked to explore and climb pillars and buildings too!
...One entry read:
..."It is possible to climb to the top of the Royal Chambers... It took me weeks to figure out the right path... Since I had to earn my way to the top, I will not record exactly how to attain this height, but leave the following clues:
..."One might find oneself climbing the walls in frustration, or, one might even have to go out on a limb to figure it out..."
...
...Another entry appeared to read" "Some idiot put grease all up and down the triangle's surface,so I had to find a new path up..."
...
...Once at the pinnacle, the view is amazing, and the photo-ops with the misty snow capped peaks is worth the effort...
...
...There was also a mostly unreadable entry below this, of which I could only make out "Window" and "Ladies: clearly...

...I have been experimenting with Auto Combat for a while now, and, I must say, for one thing,it is misnamed.... It should be called "Auto Attack", or even "Auto Berserker"as, it only attacks and does naught else as a priority...
...For instance, it pays no attention whatsoever to avoiding any kind of attack in return...
...Seeks to attack only one target at a time... but "Splash" can activate nearby monsters, which it ignores...
...Will stay in one position and not attack a target out of its detector range...
...Can, and mist certainly does, cause a character to die and not attempt to avoid death or heal any injury...
...After having my gunner die twice while on auto combat, while I was off screen, I stayed onscreen and observed the while matter for a while, and watched as my character was twice swarmed by monsters and died, This can be a tremendous waste to hourglasses and regular dungeon time in the Darkweild, as, a dead character stays in the dungeon and uses up time doing so... Not even a funeral or any kind words... tsk...
.. Now, a compromise of sorts is possible, and I am sure many do it this way...Call up Auto Combat, and use it, but stay active and make it work for, and not against you, a supplement, as it were...That was gain the benefits, without most of the detriments... Be careful though, as it will stubbornly attempt to do as it will anyway.... For instance,if slow to act, my gunner shot where the AC wished, once leading to a cool "Over the head" shot, backwards... But, rarely will this benefit a RT...
...So, use it with care and do not trust it to be nice to you or your precious character... I post this for those who are unaware of these facts, and not for those who are, just as a courtesy.... I rather hated it when it happened to my character, and, I figure it might well have happened, or will happen to another HongMoon warrior....

...It started happening a few months ago... I would appear from nowhere as usual, and then... I saw them.. I call them "The Grays".... Stiff, rough featured, gray, no other color... There would be one or two at first, then, a dozen as time went on... They glided across the ground or floors, arms stiff by their sides...
....Then, after a while, they animated, gained colors, features, weapons, faces... It was almost frightening to watch unfold...
...Then, after months of this, it happened... I awoke one day... And... I was a Gray....
...I wish Master Hong was around to help me understand all of this...
-
...I've noted a strange pattern of generous options to advance in experience and equipment lately..... Hmmmm, highly suspicious... Between new gear itself and the leveling up in the Dark Weald, its got me a bit concerned for what is to come... So, I'm doing what I can to take advantage of the situation... Other "Last" Hongmoon Warriors are doing the same, and all must act as they see fit, for their own reasons and situation... But, with the Biggest social event of the season coming up in the form of the twin coronation, its all got my whiskers are twitching...
..."Beware of Geeks bearing gifts..." From the teachings of Master Hong...
-
...I have some concerns with the upcoming Coronation... It is, after all, a double one, and the biggest BnS gameworld event in the game thus far... I am spending all the time I am able to ready my little KatGirl character for this in the Darkweald, and recommend that others do as well, since, the Devs have exhibited little consideration towards the players of late, and I would hate to see my character unable to fulfill the story line for the first time.... Speaking of which, did anyone else suffer a loss of AP at the last update? I lost 15 AP, and for the life of me have not been able to find out why... I guess it is like a game of Kat and Mouse...

TY TY TY, honorable Hongmoon Warrior!!! That did the trick! While I sometimes enjoy the funny, odd or strange names players use, the billboards were taking me out of the world of Hongmoon, and putting me back on the freeway during rush hour... I am in your debt...

...The recent additions of Solid mini Billboard player names is extremely annoying... Is there any way to filter these out without removing ALL player names? As more and more of these are added, it just obstructs so much of the viewing field... As a smaller character, I am willing to put up with giant characters with big wings and weapons, but these are becoming more than a bit too much...
-
...A while ago I was getting ready to do Heaven's Mandate, when I noticed a quite preppy looking female Hongmoon warrior nearby. She had a cute ponytail and brownish hair... I admired her clean look for a few moments, and then entered the dungeon waiting room to search for a party for HM... After a few moments, who should show up but the same HM warrior! We entered the dungeon, and I noticed and odd bluish light above the entry where you use your orb, and entry was not possible as, I had forgotten to bring any orbs along! Duuuh.... I asked her, but, she, too, had no orbs,,, 😄 A quick trip outside and a return to the staging area and we got in and finished HM at last... That was sooooo stoopy embarrassing!!!

...Every now and then, I get the urge to try something really stupid, like attempting to solo a dungeon I could never do before... I had tried to solo the Ebondrake once before, but could not get passed the 1st big Boss after the initial Pit and hallway area... Since I was now a couple of levels higher, I decided on a whim, to try it again today... Much to my surprise I somehow managed to successfully solo it, although I worked up a sweat to do so... just getting passed the "Dancer"(we all danced to her tune a lot) was fun enough, then, finally, beating the Ebondrake... and it made me feel good to help out Soha. I always gave her a hug after the battle, she was so sad...Its one thing to do so with a party, but, it had a lot more meaning to do so by myself... Rest easy, Soha's father...

...So, the other night I got home from my first full day back at work after the flu had me down for 5 days, and, although veeerry tired, decided to do a bit of Dark Weald...
....I had over an hour and a half of time left, and things were going well, the monsters fled before me( :D)... Next thing I knew, I was waking up, and the screen was oddly dark.. I had been so tired I had conked out in the Dark Weald.... I jumped to my "home" area of Mushin's Tower, and the screen was still darkish... Sleepy tired, I shut down and went to sleep...
...Next morning, I booted up and logged on to BNS and found that my character was dead as a doornail.. Turns out I had been soooo tired that I had actually fallen asleep right in the middle of a battle in the Dark Weald!! 😄 Naturally the monsters showed pity and tucked me in for the night... Ok, they took advantage and proceed to pounded my sleeping self into snail snot... and as a result I died in my sleep!!! Not only that but I had lost my remaining time in there as I lay dead for about an hour... hahhaha.... That was soooo dumby....

This whole thread reads like an old journal and I'm all in for it
...Thank you for that... Well, I had intended this as a place for anyone to tell their Hongmoon Tales, but it sort of turned out different, just like life, just like this game...heh...
...By the by, my Little Sister and I also played "Follow the Leader" as well, climbing up trees and rocks, temples and the like, and gliding , then running up whatever tree or rock etc we landed on, and chasing after each other all over the Croxar Camp area... All the while dodging monsters and other players, and giggling madly... I'd like to think that Master Hong was smiling as well...

...I was on one night, when I noticed a young Kat girl skipping about happily... I asked her how she did that move, and with a few adjustments on my keyboard,soon joined her in the fun... She became my little sister, and we goofed around a lot after that...
...In the Croxar Camp in the Celestial Basin, we would play tag and hide and go seek in the tall trees, so, while everyone else was busy killing monsters, we were laughing and giggling high above them, just two Kats playing around....
...I feel that just having fun is as much the Hongmoon Way as monster hunting and leveling up, and that Master Hong would have approved of our fun....
...She left the game one night, and I will always miss her...

..Being a Kat, I naturally enjoy a good climb, and glide.. If you like stuff like that, try this one: Go to the Crescent Springs area... (I always stop for a refreshing swim in the spring itself)... Anyway, the big rock to the west is a fun climb... Although the pathway up has changed, for some reason, it is still climbable... Once at the top, jump up to the top of the floating rock to the east... From there, you can get some fun glides- just to outside the flags at the entrance to the Mirage for instance, but, the most fun one is, once in the air, head towards the temple.... The small pedestals that you place the red or blue lamp in will be clearly visible from this altitude.... Once positioned over one, plunge down at breakneck speed, and, if you timed it right, you'll land right on top of the chosen pedestal... Ok, I am easily amused...

..Its rather amazing how many things go wrong in this game, either by accident or purposefully, what with all the maintenance that goes on... Guess they are doing the digital equivalent of mowing the lawn... While the mice are at play in the kitchen, hatching up new ways to screw the game up and eating all of the cookies...

...I don't know if you have noticed, but, the game is not very friendly to older players right now, either...
-
..One of my fav things to do in the game is glide... A good one is to go to the valley where the Cave of Darkness is located... Instead of jumping right off the cliff, go to the hut next to the big tree, jump onto the hut, then onto the big tree branch on it... Run along the branch and jump off of its end... This is one of the longest glides I have found in the game.. If you do it right, you'll end up in the bottom of the narrow canyon, almost within spitting distance of the Cave of Darkness... good glide :)...

...I've been gaming on PC's since they first came out... My first computer was an Atari 400, membrane keyboard and 48K of memory(2X what it came with originally)... State of the art... And I learned a harsh lesson back then that still applies... NO game, no gaming platform, however good, lasts forever... The company folds, due to mismanagement or key employees striking out on their own, the platform itself changes, often, and, mostly, the game itself becomes "unplayable" to the majority of the player base because some idiot, or a team of idiots, changes certain key elements (like "FUN"), sometimes with the best of intentions to "Improve" gameplay, or 'Streamline" the gaming experience.... Sometimes, they do it just because they are stupid... Doesn't really matter why, the end result is always the same: "Game Over"...(End Of Line)
...Taking the storyline of the original Anime of BNS from a visiting Assassin to the Hongmoon School. to the wide spectrum of characters we have experienced in this game, has worked very well for years, but, the Golden Age is long gone, and we are now in a time of chaos and darkness, much like the current plot line itself in the game, an interesting coincidence, yes? I am almost certain that those who currently guide the game have been themselves changed by the dark powers they deal with, and this is one of the results... Believe it, more (than) annoying changes are coming...
-
...Look, I really feel for you guys if you are making an honest effort to fix and improve this game, but, my daily dungeon list has not reset. It shows 3/4 done, from yesterday. Normally I can knock out a few before going to work in the morning, but not today, as, its yesterday's news... Got my sign in award, but, naught to do about nothing....

...This has been going on and off and on again for months, with no compensation, no action and only promises of "Check the Forums" for announcements that never come... Either the original programmers who knew what they were doing are no longer employed by the company, and no one else knows what to do to solve this, or Blade and Soul is completely indifferent on the matter, and has no intention of ever making this up to us... I already dropped my Premium Subscription(again) out of protest for this state of affairs, as, I can be treated like crap for free... I am not paying for that... Other players must be guided by their own conscience, but, money talks...
