...Chaos Supply Chain again... This has happened to me a couple of times now, including today, while fighting the pirates in the intro area.... I have jumped backwards to knock them down and make the cannons miss, and instead ended up going THROUGH the bars of the tiger cage and found myself inside the cage with the two tigers!!! Good thing that they either like Kat Girls or are not programmed for battle, as they ignore me...Photo Opp!! Always takes me a minute or two to figure out the right area to jump backwards at and escape from the cage... Really freaked me out the first time it happened... 😄

...Also, consider that nothing that you have now, or acquire is going to be that useful for very long. The Devs always, ALWAYS change the gear and weapons, and the level of monster or Boss and Dungeon that you are fighting... What you can solo for months even, now becomes impossible... Even with the best mechanics, you'll always be upgrading your gear... Always.... If you decide to spend real money to get what you want, consider waiting before you buy, because gear will sometimes be discounted, or even given away that you were struggling to find or buy...

...If you've played Chaos Supply Chain before, then you have seen Poharan's sister appear during the battle, defending her sister briefly and then disappearing to come back once more at battle's end... she says a few harsh words, threatening whoever was responsible, and then disappears...
...Always thought it odd that first, she does not attack me again after what I have done, for I am, after all, still there and ignoring me under the circumstances doesn't at all seem pirate-like, (Blood, Gold and Vengeance...) and then that it was cold of her to leave her sister there, writhing in pain on the ground...
...Since I, er, my character that is, has always had the hots for Poharan.. Hot pirate princess with attitude and a big machine gun... yum... er, anyways, I always feel kinda bad about defeating her over and over, and, unlike her callous sister, I've begun to stick around for a bit and "soothe" her before I go... Its a bit quirky of me, but, after all, Master Hong once told me that, "If the world around you is not real, then maybe you aren't either..."

...Another time, was with a party in the Drowning Deeps... The Demon Slayer outfit showed up, and I got into a bidding war with another party member over it... I bid all my gold, over 300, but still lost the bid... sigh... was disappointed for certain...
...Went in with another party the very next night, and got it for the minimum bid... 🙂

...Happened to me over a month ago.. lasted a couple of weeks, I recall... While Support at least responds, and promises to notify the right people, I got no compensation whatsoever.... After it worked again, for a while, this happens once again... Don't expect to get anything this time around either.... Don't get your hopes up...

...So, this slot is for oddities that have happened while playing Blade & Soul...
...I was in a party playing in the Iron Monkey Dungeon...(Meeting the Mechanizer, we always called the first Boss the Iron Monkey), and , after a successful final battle, all the party blipped out except for myself and one other player. We started talking about this and that, and as we did, she changed her costume... and then did it again.. and again... I was a beginner back then and had only a handful of outfits, and had not seen so many before... she continued her fashion show as we chatted. She must have had over 40 outfits, and I commented on and appraised them all... Went on for about 30 minutes...
..It was a completely different experience from the normal dungeon events I had previously, and was fun... Never saw her again after that, and while I cannot recall her name, I have never forgotten the experience, and how much fun we had....

...Same here, and still no word I can see about compensation for the lack of same in previous snafu-(an inept form of oriental martial arts computer programming)... sigh.... I hope the devs can correct this soonest...

Congratulations on this positive step forward!
I understand but Blade & Soul is an MMO and this is not going to change. I sincerely hope that you can find a group of like-minded players to join your adventures (there are a few active Discord players where you may be able to find some?).
...Thank you for your kind response on my adventures. I have actually got 3 now...(Ring, Earring and Necklace, and the Upsurge Pistols as well). In the long process of leveling them up. The Upsurge Pistols are cool, I love the little golden Dragons that glide around each one. Always wanted something that had that effect, and for it to be my pistols is awesome!
...I am also soloing Altar of the Infinite, as well as Grim Nexus, although am limited to Lvl 1, but, they are fun and I am slowly progressing.
..Again, my thanks for your kind remarks...

...So, the effect of TDHOD has apparently been removed from Koldrake, as, the last half dozen times I have entered that dungeon, it has failed to appear at all. YAY!!! Please keep it that way, and thank you!
...Wyrd trips: Went into Koldrake a week ago, everything was great, then, completely lost the ability to shoot the darn critter... Could not attack at all, after the first 5 minutes was fine and dandy. had never happened before. Nothing I tried to get my ability to fight back worked, so, I jumped around and tried to spit in the Koldrake's eye until it was over... This has not happened since...
...Back to being able to solo Cold Storage, got it about 7 times in a row now, and hope to keep that streak alive. Using "Evasion" was the key for me on that, knocking him down as he prepared his attack..
...Been soloing Grim Nexus to get salvage items, and got my first couple of Starcross gear. Glad I decided to give it a whirl. Fun Dungeon to solo...
..Enrage should be removed from all dungeons. Really, what do you Devs have against a player doing their best, clearly winning the fight handily, although taking a while to do so? You should be encouraging players to play your game in any way they are able, not punishing them. Think it over, please, this is a request. Remove Enrage. It just puts players off... I have a hard time finding a party to dungeon with, so I solo a lot, and Enrage beats me, not the Boss...
-
...Actually they are correct, the vendors around the "Trial of the Tower are gone save one.. I presume its due to the redesign of the Trial, which has been closed due to construction for some time now.... I have a feeling its not going to be a positive change, either...

By the sound of it, he is losing a lot of HP fast. Though he should definetely not be dying from it.
First thing you need to remember, to recover HP, you need to be hitting / attaching something unless you have a skil lthat regenerates your HP or use potions.
Some skills have a built in HP recovery per hit.
Now to the list:
1. Hollows Heart - The small spiders inflict poison on your which drains HP. If you do not heal and get hit, you get more stacks, more stacks = more HP lost.
The spider mini boss, will wipe you essentially if do not kill him fast since the mechanic needs 2 ppl.
2. Cathedra Cliffs - If you do not do the mechanic, the circles he places on the floor will drain a lot of your HP instantly. When he puts the circles, you walk through them and go to the feathers he shot that are stuck in the floor, they will fly back at him and prevent it
3. Cold Storage - KD/Stun the boss when the CC bar opens and avoid the little machines coming at you.
4. Heavens Mandate - The bosses hit a lot, avoid the floor aoe's, and stand in the safe zone on the second stage when she does the room aoe. The safe zone is at each of the 4 npc's that spawn.
5. Sandstorm Temple - First boss needs to be CC'ed when the bars open. Else you will get hit and your HP will go down. Second boss aswel, and avoid the aoe's and i do not remember if you can solo the mechanic on second boss, though i do not think so, then your only option is to survive.
6. Koldrak - there is nothing that drains your HP asside from getting hit.
Do you maybe have graphics or effects turned down that you do not see the indicators? Because personally, something does not add up at all in what you are saying.
...Thank you for some useful information...
-
...The spiders do not kill me, it is just very irritating, and no they have not even attacked yet, so, its not poison. I'm trying different patterns to ascertain the most successful outcome. At times, my HP rebuilds itself, at othes, I have maybe an inch of HP left. Dumpling time.So many bosses and others cannot all share this, in any logical game or world sense. The TRHOD is a "trait" shared by too many denizens of this game. Apparently, not too many are concerned about this besides myself. I really see no logical reason it even exisists.
-
No one has any idea what you are referring to specifically. How about providing that list you said you would for what bosses have this 'red heartbeat of doom' so we actually have some sort of clue?
...Working on it. Had actually begun it, then dumped it with a single miss click... Since its been a long time since I have entered any of these Dungeons with a party or any other player, I do not know if it shows up in a multi player setting, especially if you have a strong party...
...Here is a partial, or at least, what I have experienced to date:
1... Hollow's Heart: The Little Spiders in the intro platform section-This is a puzzler to me, they are not a big Boss and it happens immediately without an actual attack on their part...
2... Cathedral Cliffs: Ayanka... As with all the Bosses listed, right about when you are going to win... Say, about a 1/3 of an inch or thereabouts of life left in the Boss...
3... Cold Storage
4... Heaven's Mandate-Both Bosses
5... Sandstorm Temple-Both Bosses
6... Koldrake's Lair- Pretty much right away here, even with a full party...
...I would certainly appreciate any real advice of help on this topic. Again, my mechanics suck, but, I do the best I can... By the way, about two updates ago, or so, I could beat the Cold Storage boss in mere Seconds, and Heaven's Mandate took just a few minutes, and that when I was far weaker than I am now, so, any positive advice is welcome...

Some bosses will remove 90% of your HP during one attack if you fail to do a mechanic properly, at higher levels it will actually instant kill you and not provide you with a chance at all. You can also turn off the feature to have your screen flash red when your hp is low, and you can survive these mechanic failure attacks by having life drain and recovery, or by doing the mechanics
..TY for that, and do you mind posting as to how to turn off the red flash? My mechanics are very poor, I have been getting by with better firepower, and also, unfortunately, am soloing a lot, as, no one seems to be there for A dungeon run when I'm playing.
... One of the odder instances of TRHofD is the little spiders in Hollow's Heart. They are not a Boss, yet, it happens during the intro platforms, and they have not even attacked. Seems a bit out of place and ill timed there... I mean, a big boss is one thing, with mechanics and timing, but little spiders, and right away??? Hence , my initial post and continued concerns about this matter...

...Ok, so, since I was told that talking about this subject in a separate thread is spamming, (ty for just a warning btw)...I hope I can continue to discuss it here, although I feel it should have a thread all of its own. I believe that this was the original thread I wrote of this in.
...Here in this thread I will be listing the dungeons and monsters, and bosses that I have encountered that have the ability to use "The Red Heartbeat of Doom" duh duh duuuuhhh! I am sure you fellow players have seen it, and some of you have had victory snatched by the jaws of defeat because of it as has happened to me. Now, if I am the only player of this game that is confused and bothered by this effect, then, so be it. I am,after all, but a voice in the wilderness, feel free to ignore me. Or humor me, if you will...
...BTW, moderators, if I am NOT allowed to discuss this here, then please close this thread and kindly inform me as to where, and how, I can post on this topic, as I feel it is rather an important one. That's why i posted a separate thread in the first place, and my second post of that was because I thought I had done it wrong. My apologies for my clumsiness...

...If you can, use a landline, its supposed to be faster than wifi, and make sure you're the only drain on your connection, no tv or music hooked to the internet that is on your same line. At first, I had no issue, but after a while,maybe because of an update, I found myself unable to shoot at all, if I did I got kicked and could not return until a new Koldrake time. I don't run TV or Music that requires an internet connection when in Koldrake now, nor any other device requiring an online connection. A new, faster computer with a better video card helped too. A faster connection helps too. But, these are tough times and money is tight...
...Test your timing with one attack... if it takes more than a few seconds, stop completely. Then at least you can get what you came for.
...I have no problem with poor souls who cannot attack due to issues, after all, players carried me while I had that same condition. But when 12 come in, I would certainly hope that at least 2/3 of the players would be interested, and capable of fighting... 🙂 I had half expected to see a number of them show up to claim the rewards, but, no others did before I left. In the meantime, it was a heck of an adventure, though tiring, and I am forever grateful to the 3 Hongmoon Warriors who stayed the course with me...

...There were the requisite 12/12 showing when we went into the Koldrake's Lair.... But I never saw more than 7 fighting as battle began. As a Gunner, I can strafe up and down the field and count how many are in the fray. The tell was still at 12/12 a few minutes in... More than 6 to 7 were not to be seen.. There was one other, a slight figure dressed in black, but, I never saw them fight at all, although they were, at times, near the forefront... One player fighting cried out "No AFK", as, the tell tale number of 11/12 was now showing... But now there were only the four of us in the fray... The others were nowhere to be found. I feared the day might be lost... It seemed to take forever to get it down to 80%...
....The battle raged for over 20 minutes, 70 %, 60%, 50%, 40%, with just the other 3 girls and I fighting our little hearts out against the massive beast. As we managed to near the 26 % mark, I had a delivery at the door, and had to step out of character and the fight for precious seconds... My delivery driver probably thought I was a bit rude, but, the lack of a proper party had narrowed the window of delivery tine I had expected... I'll give her a nice tip though... Much to my surprise, I was still alive when I returned... I left my groceries in a pile by the front door, and leapt back into the fight...
...Back once more, with the tell now at 10/12, the four of us fought the good fight, and great deeds were done that day as the dragon tossed us about like toys on the battlefield. The tell dropped to 7/12, as players gave up on those of us actually fighting... After a long battle, we four stayed the course and somehow finally toppled the mighty dragon. As we dragged our exhausted bodies over to receive our well deserved reward, I saw that same slight figure dressed in black, waiting at the base of the far cliff side for us to depart... Perhaps it was another player, suffering from lag, so they could not fight or risk being kicked out, as had happened to me before a computer upgrade... Or, perhaps it was the Angel of Death, watching and waiting to see the outcome of such a mighty battle... I hope she was not disappointed...
...I never got the names of those 3 warriors I fought beside, but, they have my utmost respect for staying the course under such harsh conditions... Heroes all...*Bows in respect*...

...I agree with you about these two dungeons, and posted about this as well.... I soloed them for years, since my atk was 700, now its well over 3,000, Boss Atk at 3700+ and suddenly I cannot. Cuts into my daily action...I don't have a lot of time to wait for a party and these were two that helped me get my limit...Used to take lower level players through to help them along. They did the same to Sandstone Temple as well. All I ask is for some In Game justification for this change, as it takes me out of the game world I joined to play in the first place, and reminds me "Its just another game"...
...Devs should kindly be aware that, for many reasons, there are players who do solo, and they should have every fair chance to be "The Hongmoon Warrior"...
...If you have not yet gotten the recent Gifts from the update- See your "Supplies" section, - There is a complete set of Skystealer equipment and the ShadowFury weapon... The weapon will only have 3 gem slots, so hope you have lots of Legendary Hammers... But, these upgrades of equipment and weapon are FREE... Not sure of its for Premium only, I had an account at the time, but check, before they are gone...Worth it in every way, even if you have to join for a month...Start advancing these and it should ease the pain a bit...

...I could have sworn I only saw 5-6 of us fighting tonight in Koldrak, took forever. I could understand 1-2, if their systems are low or if they have a slow connection, cause you can get kicked out then....used to happen to me, til I made sure that I had no other drain on my connection. This was the longest fight I can recall in the dungeon, ever, and I kept expecting to get timed out. Thought it was funny that only a handful of us were running down the tunnel at the start, but it was a full party when it was time for the reward...Folk do seem to hide in the upper part of the tunnel...

Hi @Kittyaura Is there any way you can share a video of one of your HM or CS runs ending like this? Right now it's hard to help because we're unsure what the issue could be. If you don't want it to be public, you can send it to me via DM.
...Hi Green Storm... Thank you for your post and interest in my issue... Frankly, I have never videoed a gaming experience before, but am looking into what I need to do so. Although I have been gaming since home computers were first invented, (my first computer was an Atari 400- 48K state of the art) 🙂 ... There is still so much to explore and learn about computer gaming, and online gaming in particular... Now I have a Ryzen 7 PC, and its so much fun...
...Again, thanks, and I will see what I can put together...
-
....Given time, its possible, like I say, but, we get "timed" out, so, a level playing field is not present. What's even odder, and this surprised the holy Sh** out of me today.. Is that today I soloed Hollows Heart-I don't know which of us was more surprised, me or the giant spider when that Boss fight was won... And even more shocking to me, a humble, lousy mechanical, depending on firepower Firegunner kitty, was that I soloed Cathedral Cliffs!!!!.. That was a shock...
...Now, I have seen the videos where the really good players do these things and even greater deeds while even giving instructions, and I admire them greatly for their skill and knowledge of timing, but for me, who cannot even do Heaven's Mandate and Cold Storage in my current state, well, to me, beating these dungeons and their bosses is quite an accomplishment...
...I'm spending time now lately, seeing what I can do, rather than butting my head against what I can no longer do, and gaining experience and goods and some gold, and, hopefully, I can learn a few things along the way as well, to apply to the dungeons I am having difficulty with now. We'll see...
...But today, was a good day... In the words of Llenn Chan in GunGale Online---WHOOOHOOO!
-
...Just when it felt a bit dismal again, you guys go ahead and do something really nice! Having gone back and forth in the Love/Hate relationship in this game for many years now, I had gone back and again gotten a Premium Membership for a month, intending to keep it going for a while to upgrade what I could, and then, in the same vein had cancelled due to recent...er... misunderstanding between us... Then, I just now happened to check the recent Premium Members Hongmoon Coin deals,and saw the upgrade package I have needed... It completes my set of Skystealer equipment, AND gives me the Shadow Fury weapon I was drooling over that I could not acquire. THANK YOU! This was highly unexpected, and if any player out there needs these, now is the time to get them, before these are gone... Again, my thanks, and the roast mice are on me!!!
-
...The recent announcement of Mounts entering the game got me to thinking(always a dangerous thing, thoughts) 🙂 ...Mounts appear in a number of games, and, yeah, it'll be cool to travel from place to place faster, but I can already move pretty quick, especially when its meal time, or chasing a mouse, so, if its not already in the works, then, why not take it a 'Step" further? Why not have mounts able to attack your enemies and defend against them as well? More of an ally than a mere discardable usage servant. Of course, they then should take damage as well, and be healable, during combat... Just a stray thought, I "thought" to toss out... Love to ride a Fire Breathing Dragon during combat.. heheheh... drools... Also it would give the Devs more spaces for Gems and other enhancements...(You'll make more money-*wink* *wink*)
...Also, since we, as individual characters sans mount, are able to run and jump and glide on maps, and hook during combat, why not be able to attack a monster from the air? It would be way cool to jump over a boss and smite(love that word) them on the noggin while in mid-air, then land and maneuver afterwords... To restrict movement during combat seems a bit odd, since it is during combat that we need to move, both aggressively and defensively, the most. Really feel that if we can do a move on the map, we should be able to do it during combat... ...Guess Master Hong was too busy to teach me that during our far too short sojourn together...(Really miss that guy)... ...Hmmmm...Maybe in some of those books in the office...? Gotta spend some quality time with the lonely puppy anyway...Poor little tyke...
...Just some stray thoughts from a stray Kat......
-
...I might add that I was autokilled, not defeated by having no HP left by the Boss, so the game update beat my character, not the Boss....really takes you out of the game setting...as for LFP, when one has been soloing a dungeon for a couple of years and dominating it, and then this happens in both, when I am far stronger than when I STARTED soloing them(700 ATP then- 3010 now), its more than annoying. Mind you, this is on the Easy setting...
...Are we not supposed to be "The Hongmoon Hero"? Heir to the teachings of Master Hong? I also soloed Chaos Supply Chain(to level 4 late stage), Dreamsong Theater, Sandstone Temple, Drowning Deeps and some others. If you think about the storyline as presented, we are alone, the last Hongmoon warrior, heir to the empty Hongmoon School, with no students in the school, no sidekick...
...So, despite my many technical shortcomings, I take some pride that I can do as well as I am able, but when the devs raise the difficulty as they do, with no in game reasoning behind it, it does tick me off... Currently working on raising my Boss Attack power, hoping to get to to 4,000 someday.. sigh... Not a skilled player, just an enthusiastic keyboard and button pushing hack... Hate to go LFP again after so long.. sigh... Thanks for your likes...

No Daily Login Rewards Anymore....
in General Discussion
Posted
...For the last couple of months, the Daily Login Rewards have been pretty well screwed up, and now, after the last update, I no longer get ANY daily Login rewards at all... All it says is "Daily Login Rewards are not Available.." Just Ducky... I already dropped my Premium Subscription, due to the Screw-ups 2 months ago with this, then it happened on a broader scale to players three weeks ago, and now this... All i hear is "Check the Forums for an announcement" Which never appears, no Rewards, no compensation for services paid for that are not delivered... Blade and Soul does not seem to care a whit about its player base, and certainly not this player's concerns about money spent with expectations of proper delivery of services.... Guess its the Hongmoon Way....
