With uncertainty [looking at whom replaced GreenStorm if any eventually made any attempt to fill that role] I shall share my two cents after all. At first I heard it as a rumor "they gon' delete our beloved F2" and to the more extreme "profile cats will die in vain" uncertain if their pfp was actually some more grave news as in the initial post. Further down the rabit hole no patchnotes can be found with this cites, nor any plans to re-add this function any time back into the game [which really did surprise since as stated this is a thing for korea still]. So, I layed dormant expecting some adjustments for only premium users to have this ability. I couln't have been any more wrong here, and slowly I noticed increased traction regarding our vent of freedom which was a decision for western iterations of Blade and Soul which yet was erased from all patch notes and/or announcements and stuff corresponding to the intial posts in April. Yet the only thing being aware of the removal was another forum announcement roughly a week after the possible remnant of what now is a scrapped part of any patch notes. On April 13th @GM Oliey confirmed the removal via forums which reads as follows... clearly stating on April 18th we will loose our pfp, our individuality due to what is going to happen in the corresponding patch happening on April 18th, 2023 which now is more than 2 weeks after the initial issue broke loose. Ever since the announcement for the patch was removed and the actual patch notes never saw our pfp being removed. Yet as stated on forums by NC they been aware of planning to be removing it, which at this point (again) leaves me nothing but puzzled. are now memories of a past only few had the chance to live or at the very least document before the removal. Unlike others I didn't commision for pfp so spending for a beloved feature just to see their "f2 die in vain"... this has just more layers I can imagine Personal Identification and Sense of Community: Right at the brink of what was going to befall us in our clan we made preparations yet again to hand out custom pfp with an iconic style to resonate with fellow clannies as well as their own uniqueness. Including some personal tokens to make one(s) character stand out. This would be interchangeable since only their characters appearance and name would differ which again can easily be adjusted and still our community would recognize another just by seeing their pfp. Creative Expression: You eventually will bond with your character alot less if there is something missing. Something like the feeling of some pixels belonging to you. Sure once the game finishes all our data will be gone, but lets leave it for the time when we actually need to say a humble farewell to this realm - shall we? Spending time creating unique pfps is another outlet and can indicate ones playstyle. We can learn way more about a person than their stats and numbers (which again would be another topic but don't work in F2 either. So remove the too?) Community Engagement Incentive: Might be less scary of a word than it may sound. As of now we only get to know how lucky a person was upgrading and farming (or able to deceive about it) yet lack to know their determination. People spending even the least time to keep their pfp recent will automatically noted more active and enganged in Blade and Soul. Also group/cuple pictures as seen in the initial post do show some purpose We now would be aware to take 모르 also with us. No need to check the bugged F2 again. And faster recruiting woulg result in this. Especially since clan structure now has become more or less obsolete we could share our buddies way easier when being able to "equip" a unique token. Brand Loyality and Marketing: Not much to add to the initial post. Media coverage is as important as ever, especially when the official NC does promise lyn and yun astro but fails to deliver. And as mentioned above: many commisions have been made in this game. Amazing artwork which only sees winners. Moderation Control: Again I mentioned before, but custom pfp for premium only would highly encourage people to get a subscribtion. (though I always could see F10 items allowing pfp alteration) the point however: if people pay, they wont use offensive pfp which was considered in all so many posts as possible explanation - yet to be verified or denied. With this in mind those who maliciously put offensive pfp can be reported and stripped of their pfp. Some people will be bad apples still, but with the sense of and withing our community those people would face different repercussions which ultimately wouldn't require any more work at your end. With introducion demonsbane ranking we already have a way to see top tier players "live" though it seems bugged to clipped different dyes back to back. Herein however lies a solution I'd say: We will need a specific rank to use an ingame shot portrait. Said rank would be less like ranking but more of an archivement. Soul Gear would basically enable every character to farm for it OR we have coming Soul Boost with the item to put custom pfp at a considerable late stage so it is difficult and time consuming to unlock this. Somehow there still is a way to display characters. Why not make it a thing for everyone? I'll take another two steps while I am at it: Why not selling borders in F10? Why not having demonsbane rankings take effect in F2? People are inclined to have aged ever since laying hand on Blade and Soul for their very first time. Now we too are idividuals who mostly preferr the convenience of remote stash amongst other things. We don't ask for the game to change and yet the game changes around us with noone to talk to but ourselves. And standing on common grounds we would like to see the returns of custom pfp. We might not be industry, yet together we might just bring glory and media coverage back to Blade and Soul. EDIT: Another late night idea would be some similarity to a crop function for screenshots which could be accessed within the game. A full on built in editor might be over the top, but if we could limit ourselfs to only adjust screenshots there would be some common ground to start upon. Until we get the korean files which allow things as we knew them (or now that we had a view on gifs would really fancy ourselves).

So you've seen the issue, extended maint, couldn't resolve and now we have to deal with it? Sounds like compensation to me.

Ok this is a bad joke right? But first of, thank you PhoenixMitra for moving it, unlike other forum staff who delete this very request occasionally. Topic wise// You are screwed pal. Nothing can be done about it. //end Why its not working, nobody knows. Its just as old of a bug, as the fact that you need to load into a dungeon lobby to load into a dungeon lobby to move into a dungeon via loading screen and moving inside within the same dungeon by using another loading screen to meet up a loading screen which leads into a video (loading process) which cant be canceled just to run content....which and only the loading process video has been resolved after years. For character order, it seems if you log off on your second page youll login on your second page. Atleast sometimes.

You can try to set up auto clean ram in your task manager. There are plenty video guides, so I dont bother for more details. With it 32bit will be more stable (new trap zone excluded), and 64 is trash ever since 3rd specs came across. Additional tipps: - BnS cant/wont use virtual cores, so you can disable that aswell in taskmanager - maybe shift priority of bns and/or lower priority of different programms you use whilst playing - dont use any other programm whilst in bns - pray that the new options currently released in KR will come soon and make a difference

Basically what Miggy said. Remove files and repair or delete everything and clean install. In addition, maybe you get a little error box if you try to start 64bit? Try closing or ignoring the box (depending on what you do rn). I had a different bug where I got an error popup whilst in game, ignoring it was fine. On interacting with NC error popup the game crashed.

16 hours and still no statement. I really do believe one channel was intended

Basically yeah, performance wise this event is inexistent. even in pve you get so much lag spikes and its neither my pc nor my ISP, set up monitoring for both. According to this game should run smoth and fantastic....but whatever happened withing last patches (since fm 3rd) game gets more and more unplayable.
