Sorry to say @Baskerville but who you try to fool and who should take you serious? Over 10 Month and not only my friendslist still doenstn work, i cant see my friends, neither they can see me, and all you hear is "We know about your problem and working on it" Either your "Dev-Team" is incapable or they simply dont care. At least NC-Soft doesnt care about the players who are affected, cause they dont even bother to offer the tiniest compensation while not fixing the problem after 10+ month. Lets say it clear, they simply dont care, as long as enough ppl keep cashing. Same thing you could say for any preformance issues. Since the first problems came up, about 3 Years ago, you keep telling us you are working on a solution, but with every new content added, we got more and more preformance issues so who should still belive your statement? Clean up your code, get rid of transfering items one by one, instead transfer the selectet amount as one stack, would reduce a lot of database updates and serverload, they are just annoying time-sinks anyway Stop adding high preformance using particle effects or at least give an option to disable them (for example visual effects of the Unity point system) Just to mention some easy to do fixes There are many hints here in the forum but no on listen, at least in the last 3 years...

Uhh well that will make things much better. 1.7M instead of 2M since 99,9% of the NC-west community can hold up to this DPS [/zynism] i'll guess another event like the Turtle and we will loose some more player im still very (lets say it friendly) angry i couldnt get the wings and one thing will be for sure. If this event will be indeed like the turtle event and most players cant paricipate i will definetly keep my premium cancled and will quit the game.

Highly depends on the quest you get and i wouldnt consider CB as best place, one pouch still costs 500 peaches and they have (at least for me) bad droprates for moonstone and elysian crystals Loocked behind to many loading screens, you waste 10x more time at the loading screens then to actualy clear 13,14,15. Also you need tickets for 13th floor which are only obtainable at floor 13 and 14. I have 3 left from formaly over 30. Its still the only PVE place where you can get moonstone crystals. but honestly, DST or BC would be faster than Naksun with his 100 loadingscreens. You need to do pvp what many players dont like for many reasons already mentioned here in the forums. For example one 10 FMs or BDs or Sums or... all from same account in the top 50 ranking. BG is pure p2w in my opinnion cause you can buy an advantage over other players and get higher - max gear in not time with money (Trove / RNG Boxes, etc) what casual players cant get without long time of farming. worthwhile are only TSM upwards and i'll guess you know what ppl require for these dungeons, so nothing for new or lower geared players The only realy worthwhile source (at least on weekend). Anyway worth are only stage 1-3 cause you need keys to open up the chest of stage 4-6 and you need moonstone crystals to buy these keys since you only get 4 keys from the quest. I have 300+ chestsm of each stage 4, 5 and 6. I guess i never could open them (would be 1200+ moonstone crystals + 1200+ gold) and moonstone crystals are still an rng drop, so its not save you will get them back. And for me moonstone crystals are the most rare ressource while i have plenty of all other crystals. The 1 gold for the key is ok, I even would pay 2 or 3 gold for a key, when i dont need moonstone crystals to buy them There are plenty of ways to add some material sources, for example the Solo Dungeons. Let the bosses random drop elysian or moonstone crystals instead of spamming the player inventory with naryu coins, which no one realy need.

Yeah TT accesoirs are expensive but Took me 8 weekends of hardcore MSP 1-6 farming for Aransu 9 -> GC 9, TT Ring and Earring 1 to Stage 10, Mao Neck 0 to Awakend 3 (didnt had any crux) and Glove 1 to Awakend 3 and by the way i nearly maxed out my TT soulshield 1-8. Farming BC for onyxscales and the 100 run archivment did the rest.

I did Daily on 5 chars every day including HM/CS since Unity was introduced. I got one violet from the daily chest you can obtain, every transformation i tried failed even the system told me i have a highes obtainable chance (using 8 gleaming/shimmering)... Just LoL dont want to know what a low chance would be then... So yeah, some people maybe wont even obtain a legendary stone even in 10 years with an rng bad as it is oh and btw @NekoNoKishi its worthless trying to diskuss with Grimoir he even defend NC-Soft for not fixing any bugs and for him everything you say against BnS is plain stupid cause everything is fine as it is, there are no problems [zynism end]

Well i already quit the game let alone for this funny zynical statement most people on my friendslist are already banned for hillarious reasons, because they criticised to much. Even in Fraction-Chat they complain about how NC-Soft handels criticism and banning for ridicoulous reasons. When i last logged in (about sunday afternoon) there was a big discussion about this theme at the red fraction chat where many people complained. Kim Jong Un-squad was one of the friendly things they called the forum team ;) And NO @PhoenixMitra thats not discussing moderation, thats a fact that should give you something to think about, at least when you see there are only 10-20 people left who are active. (after this post one less) So Yeah, istead of listening to the community make them silenced who cares about a decrreasing playerbase? Normaly i wouldnt post anymore here cause its just useless, you could also talk to the wall next to you and for sure thats more productive. Anyway im posting cause somehow @Ren36 is deffinetly right with some of his statements. Im not a game coder even i made some mods for UE3 and 4 (mostly UE 4 for Ark Survival) but im a semi professional php-coder who formaly was involved in many phpbb2 and 3 modifications. One of the first things you learn, be as economical as possible when it comes to database access. I will give you an example how the Coders waste a lot of ressorces. You all know the chest where items you bought and items from daily dash are stored. 1. you can only take a max of 30 items at once 2. every item is transfered one by one Imagin you will transfer 30 experience charms from this chest to your inventory. now you need to update the database at least 2 times, one database entry for the chest and one for your inventory but you took 30 xp-charms, so this happens 30 times in a row means you at least 60 times update the database for 1 stack of 30 items. And you have to do it this way cause else you risk to loos items when you crash while transfering items. This could be much more effective by transfering the selectet amount at once and not one by one. imagin the load when only 100 people are transfering items from their chests to their inventories. Thats only one example how the coders add shitty code that waste a lot of ressources and causing a high load on the server Even if this was meant as a timesink you could have solved it much more serverfriendly by just adding a timer who block you from doing other things for a specific amount of time So yeah Ren36 is right. You might be a professional, hired coder, the producer want you to code a function, it is still up to you, wether you code a clean gentle on preformance code or just dont care about the preformance... And now good bye, maybe ill check back when NC-Soft finaly was able to fix the friendslist bug that i now have to deal with for more then 10 month. Realy nice when you dont see your frinds and neither they can see you...

I'll guess its not a problem of incompetent developers, its more a problem of NC-Soft dosn't give a ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ about the community or the problems with bugs, as long as F10 works. It took nearly 1,5 years to fix the "Stuck in Combat" Bug. Well it isnt realy fixed, nut it took Them 1.5 years to vome to the idea "we can let the players use the protals even when they are still in combat". Well this work around could have been published withhin a month after the first complains about the "Stuck in Combat" Bug. Also NC-Soft doesn't give a ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ about the friends list. Well it never worked properly but now more and more player have the problem that it doenst work overall. You dont see your friends online cause you have 0/0 friends, your friends doesnt see you online and the game is nearly impossible to play when you have this bug and you are not in a clan. Some players are affected by this bug over 10and more month, i by myself are affected for now 8 month and support keep telling us "We know about the problem and working on a solution but cant tell when it will be solved" It might be a problem with the database, a name with an uncommon character, a not correct escaped entry or something like that. At least nothing you cant solve in over 10 month. A ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ they do, honestly over 10 month? Not even a small compensation for affected players, nothing then empty promises... Thats the best example how much NC-Soft cares about their players and that they just give a ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ about when players leave as long as the cash from trove and rng-boxes keeps flowing. Anyway, you are possible right that the coders are incompetent when i look at some mechanics. Example: transfering Items from the your chest (where Login rewards, bought items and Daily Dash items are stored) to your inventory. Instead of transfering the selected amount they transfer item by item. So when you transfer 30 Items it will be 30 times 1 item. WTF realy? That means 60 times updating the database, 2 database updates per item, 1 for the chest and 1 for the inventory instead of transfering the selected amount and only need 2 database updates. And you have to do it this way to keep redundancy so no items get lost when you for example crash during the transfer. First thing you learn when coding, keep database updates at a minimum, cause they can produce high loads at large databases. So yeah, when you dont have a high server load, create it by yourself. [/irony]

Meanwhile in Korea you can buy usefull things, like mats, for pearls Well 400 pearls for moonstone and elysian chrystals is a bit expencive in my opinion, but at least you can spend your pearls for usefull things

Einer der sinnlosesten, die ich hier jemals quergelesen habe, triffts eher und du gräbst diesen sinnlosen Beitrag, der nur dazu dient nach Aufmerksamkeit zu haschen, tatsächlich nach über einem Jahr wieder aus?

Afaik you can Salvage your weapon to get the current new one. But you might loose your gem slots since the wepon you will get have a random number of gemslots, When you own naryu silver you can also buy the new weapon at a merchant. Would be the best thing to do since you can buy it, until you get a weapon with 8 gem slots.

Da stellt sich mir die Frage @Baskerville, warum können wir keine Mats und Mats Kisten "Angeln" wie in Korea, Warum bekommen wir nur Kostüme die selbst für den Erfolg nicht viel bringen, da man das komplette Set der Gilde braucht, oder wurde das geändert und man benötigt jetzt nur noch die "Angelbaren"?

In Korea lohnt sich Angeln wenigstens, nicht wie bei uns.

You dont know what im talking about? Well quite easy, doing 10 runs / a day for quite some time and wrote down the drops of fragments. Right after the maintenance on Jun 05. there was a big reduction in Drops, (still doing 10 runs a day) off about 50-60% compared to the runs i did before Jun 05. So either they nerfed the droprate or i have been unlucky the whole time since Jun 05. Guess whats more likley. But why should i duskuss with you, as other already niticed, for you always everything is fine and all others are unlucky ;) Another good joke since we always had spring, summer, autum and christmas trove, but ok trove is newly introduced xD

LoL sorry best joke i ever heard. You call this newly introduced online goods? Yeah brand new from a trove we had last year or so and still a 3star. Guess you need to compensate for Belgium and Netherlands wich banned rng as geambling by law. And i also guess, thats why you stealthy nerved the Droprates of Alpha Coin Fragments at DEN during the maintenance at 05. Jul. I wrote down the drops for a few weeks and noticed a nerf of about 50-60% of the droprate after this maintenance. And not very surprisingly, Alpha Coins are available at the trove. Thats how you rip off and kidding the playerbase and wonder why so many already left the game.

I have seen a lot of troves some good, some bad, but what you get here as a 3Star crit is beyond redicolous and take a ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ out of. Thats why i only use HM-Coins but not real money anymore. Since Belgium and Netherlands banned RNG-Boxes as Gambling by law it just seems like NC-Soft thought they had to compensate for these 2 Countries without Trove, by making the trove the worst ever, so the remainig Countries in EU even spend more money. At least from what i see and hear from friends what they get from the trove. But anyaway to be honest, its your own fault. You know that droprates getting more and more worse with every trove. NC-Soft even ninja nerfed droprates 2 weeks befor the trove. I was curious so i just noticed the droprates of Coinfragments in DEN for Boss 1 and 2 for a few weeks. After The maintenance on Jun. 05 the Droprate was reduced by aprox. 60-70% (at least at my runs) and surprice, surprice, Coins and Fragments are available in Trove. Any more Questions? So why the hell you still spend money for the Trove? As long as you continue buying keys like crazy NC-Soft will continue its rip off and nothing will change. Just keep your money at the next trove and hit them where it hurts, by not spending money, thats the only way to change something, but stop complaining when you know about the rip off and spend money anyway, or hope, your contry will follow the example of Belgium and Netherlands, and also stop these RNG rip off by law ;)

To be honest, i'll do lot of stage 1-6 runs on weekends but never saw people getting kicked for no reason. I dont even had problems going afk for a moment, after telling the leader. Most people that i have seen getting kicked, are those who always stay at the boss-spawn and letting others clear camps / mushrooms and minibosses to spawn the next stage. And honestly they deserve it for leeching and i would kick them too.

Ich finde deine Aussage schon ziemlich frech und dreist. Ich habe früher selber regelmäßig Arena und 6vs6 gespielt. Das PVP mittlerweile so gut wie tot ist liegt sicher nicht an den PVElern, da kannst du dich zum einen bei NC-Soft bedanken, zum anderen bei deinen PVP-Kollegen. Beispiele gefällig? 1. versucht NC-Soft seit beginn die Leute ins PVP zu zwingen. ist nämlich die einzige Möglichkeit Mondsteine zu farmen. 2. 6vs6 hat NC-Soft für viele mit der Einführung des PVP-Gears kaputt gemacht. Kein vernünftiges Matchmaking, Keine verteilung der Spieler in die Gruppen, nichts. Wi oft hatte ich Gruppen in denen 4 Leute zum Teil max. PVP Gear hatten während die anderen 8 Leute teilweise bestenfalls ne Aransu 3 Waffe hatten. 5 von denen waren in meinem Team. 3. imenser Vorteil für Spieler die perfekt das kreditkarten-anicancel beherrschen, ansonsten aber nicht wirklich was drauf haben. 4. hat niemand bei NC-Soft bedacht, welchen Einfluss PVE Items aufs PVP haben. Was hast du nun? Klassen die einfach mal ne ganze Gruppe Onehitten können. Wenn ich oneshoten will, spiel ich nen shooter. 5. Sagt eigentlich alles, warum viele kein Bock mehr auf Schlachtfeld haben. Arena Sieht es nicht viel anders aus. Als ich im Dezember das letzte mal ins Ranking geschaut habe waren bei meiner Klasse (FM) 8FMs unter den Top 10 die alle auf dem gleichen Account liefen. Könnte man einfach umgehen indem nur noch der Höchstplatzierte Char einer Klasse pro Account die Belohnung bekommt. Sprich du kannst zwar mit 10 Chars Arena machen, sind die 10 Chars jedoch alle die selbe Klasse bekommt nur der Höchstplatzierte die Belohnung. Hat man z.B. nen FM und KFM in der Wertung können beide eine Belohnung erhalten weil unterschiedliche Klassen. Statdessen ist NC-Soft lieber Hingegangen und hat die Lohnenswerten Saisonbelohnungen auf die Top 100 begrenzt, womit die Gelegenheitsspieler noch weniger Chancen hatten. Glaube mittlerweile sind es wieder die Top 300 Dann kommt mit Insel der Vergeltung ein neues PVP-Event ins Spiel, hier gibt es aber gleich mal Onehit Items die gerne von Spielern die sich in Bäumen verstecken genutzt werden. Oder es werden gruppen gebildet mit Wincharing usw. Geb also nicht den PVE-Spielern die Schuld daran das PVP so unbeliebt geworden ist. Das habt ihr PVP-Spieler euch zum großteil selber zuzuschreiben und das sage ich dir als jemand, der früher mal verdammt gerne PVP gemacht hat.

Der FM ist sicher noch ein guter DPS-Dealer, aber zu den stärksten Klassen im PVE? Damit war wohl spätestens Ende mit dem Nerf des Soulburn Skills kurz vor Einfürung des Blackwing und allerspätestens nach Einführung der Gunner / Warden. Jeder Warden drückt einen weitaus höheren Burst und DMG als ein FM. Im Endgear sieht der FM dann selbst gegen einen SUM alt aus. OK der Schwarm Sum ist momentan wohl Highest DPS überhaupt. Meiner Meinung nach müsste der FM (Feuer) mal gründlich überholt werden. Vor allem im Bereich mit TT Gear (Ring / Ohrring / Waffe). Nachdem ich meinen FM von Aransu 9 auf GC 6 gezogen habe, war ich erst einmal bitter enttäuscht. Ohne Ulti hast du im Grunde garkeinen Burst mehr. In der MSP Stufe 1-3, also bei kurzen Kämpfen, drückt jeder Aransu 6 Feuer FM mehr Schaden als du, wenn du nicht gerade mit der Ulti startest. Wenn der WL / Warden sein Blackwing gleich zu Begin des Kampfes schmeisst, überlegst du den Soulburn Skill zu deaktivieren, weil du erst mal weniger DPS als ohne Blackwing drückst. Sobald der Blackwing ausläuft geht dein DPS gleich mal 200-300k nach oben. Fängst du mit der Ulti an und der Blackwing wird dann erst gezündet, sieht das wieder anders aus. Problem an der Sache ist nur, gerade in sehr kurzen Kämpfe, wie z.B. MSP 1-3 lohnt es sich nicht wirklich die Ulti einzusetzen. Zudem bist du extrem abhängig vom Waffenprog. Ich habe teilweise DPS-Unterschiede in Solodungeons von bis zu 400k bei den Bossen. Kann ich so nicht sagen, da der FM noch immer eine recht mobile Klasse ist, kannst du mit dem FM noch immer recht viele Mechaniken übernehmen. Wo ich jedoch einen Nachteil sehe sind die Solodungeons, die alles andere als Rangefreundlich sind. Ich weiss nicht, wie oft mich mein Iframe da schon (fast) gekillt hat. Iframest du nicht -> Airkombo oder bekommst Stacks Iframest du -> 100% Airkombo durch den Boss, da du zu weit hinter den Boss dodgest.

Bin selber seit über nem halben Jahr betroffen, scheint bei BnS jedoch niemanden zu interessieren weils keine Kohle bringt. Wäre F10 betroffen, wäre das problem vermutlich in 5 Mintuen behoben. Wenn du das Problem erst seit April hast, bist du noch einer der "Glücklicheren". Ich kenne einige leute, die laufen schon seit Oktober 2018 und länger ohne Freundschaftsliste rum und werden auch ständig nur mit Standardantworten vertröstet. Die Aussage "Wir arbeiten kontinuirlich daran das Problem ausfindig zu machen" nimmt eh niemand, der von dem Fehler betroffen ist, ernst, zumindest nicht nach so langer Zeit. Rechne also lieber nicht damit, das deine FL je wieder funktionieren wird, wobei sie dies eh nie richtig tat ;) Gibt wichtigeres auf der Prioritätenliste von NC-Soft, z.B. heimlich die Dropraten der Münzfragmente bei MAO zu reduzieren, da es die nun in der Trove gibt und das bringt Kohle ;)

I agree with thread opener. For me it also sound like rip-off to force people to spend even more money. First of all you cant seal a weapon to trade it on the market, you can just trade it accountbound. So why there is a need to reset the gemslots, when sending it to another char on your account, when you already payed to open the slots? The only reason for this is to force player, to spend even more money to buy gem hammers, but thats a typical NC-Soft rip-off. When you could seal the weapon and trade it on the market it would be ok in my opinion, but not when its only accountbound.

Yeah thats typical for NC-Soft. My toon has cosmic soul stage 2 upgraded with oils befor the event soul was available and now i need to even upgrade it further to get back my old stats. Are you ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ing kidding me? Thats a bottomless insolence and i would call it scam cause i even spend money for this soul. Also this wasnt mentined in the patch notes. Well on thing is for sure. i will never spend any more money for this scam company beside maybe premium, njo trove no chash boxes, nothing when they just reduce itemstats without any notice

Yeah, a storage acessible from every char on an account would be nice. its a pain in the ass when you need to send lot of gems / mats. But thats something we demand since the game exist and im afraid it will never happend :/

So you think you havent already lost enough player of the already low playerbase? You thing it might be a good idea to stealthy nerv droprates? Dont know what im talking about? Just an example: Befor the maintenance on Jul. 05 i got about 5-7 alpha coin fragments at Boss 1 in DEN The droprate was massivly nerfed during this maintenance cause now i get 2-3 fragments in 10 runs at best since the maintenance, and thats not just an unlucky day. Ill do this dungeon on regular daily base (about 5-10 runs per day) But yeah it realy make sense cause you can get Alpha Coins from Trove, so why not nerf the droprate so people are more likely to cash? Do you realy think no one will notice? But carry on screewing the playerbase, good game...

What has coding to do with mechanics in a game? Where do we have complicated mechanics in normal mode? Raids are something different but these are raids, they should be demanding. Blade and Soul always had mechanic and should always have, its not a Hack n' Slay game and its getting booring without mech. I duo most dungeons, i even did BC with just 3 ppl in party, but thats not the point. Before they introduced Hard-/Normal mode you had to do mechanic in every dungeon. You needed 4 people to do the mechanic in desolate tomb, Tank (2), 3l, 3r and mark to share the lighting. After they remove the 4 player party our normal mode suddenly became the new hardmode while they removed most of the mechanics in the normal mode. They introduced Naryu Sanctum, it only took 2 or 3 month untill they removed most of the mechanic for xanos. People dont even need to learn mechanic anymore, and when a new dungeon is released and they have to do mechanic they start crying. Thats the point. BC is realy an easy mechanics, TSM was quite more complicated before they removed the mechanic. Is it realy that hard to block an orb, be the closest to the boss when you are mark and free the ppl who blocked first and second orb, while the fist blocker frees the third? A gunner can be mark and free all 3 who blocked. Is it that hard to stun the boss? Is it that hard to be furthest away at second boss to get mark? to not jump close to the boss and other players and to stun him? WE did BC with 3 people, you just need a bladedancer cause BD's can be mark and block at same time and free the other 2 at first boss.

I'll guess the problem is more that many people dont even bother with learning mech. Just take to look at the requirements at F8 for even the simplest dungeons. When TSM was released i had ~1250AP, we had to do mech even in NM and we also managed to do HM and it was fun to learn it. Today there is no more mech left in NM, just burst the boss down and for HM they require 1700AP / TT gear for HM. Eckogen did very good Guides on every dungeon, explaining the boss rotation and every part of the mechanik. His speaking is very well understandable even for non native english speaking people or you can even learn something just by watshing what happens during the mechanic phases. But as i said, most people doesnt even bother to watch or read a guide and they also wouldnt bother to use the training room to learn mechanics. In my opinion NC-Softs biggest mistake was to remove the old 4 men Dungeons and introduces the new normal / hardmode "feature" and the formely normalmode suddenly became the hardmode while you could ignore most mech in normalmode. From this point people start getting more and more lazy in learning mech since you dont realy need it in normal mode.
