Sadly as long as people are stupid enough to waste their money for nothing NC-Soft wil continue bringinge more and more crap which is getting more and more expensive. And when poeple finaly understand this system and stop spending their money for useless crap they will shut down the server and contiue with the next game milking the community

Everyone who think Crafting cost for TS is a cost reduction should go back to school and learn some math Pre Okt. 16th less materials needen and you got 35 TS After Okt. 16th. you need more mats and get 11 less TS After this patch you need the amount of mats you needed pre Okt.16th vut still get 11 TS less. At least i didnt see anything in the announcment stating they also increase the outcome of crafting TS. So tell me where this is a reduction compared to Okt.16th. Also Awakened Hongmoon Talisman Stage 5 -> True Hongmoon Talisman Befor: 200 MS and elysian crytals, 21 blackstones After: 150MS and Elysian crystals, 10 TS and 13 blackstones you save 50 MS / elysian crystals and 8 blackstones but need 10 TS i highly doubt this is a real reduction ;) OK the other stages are getting cheaper, at least on first sight, cause you need less pet pouches but since the demand for TS will rise even further the price for TS will also rise. ill guess TS will rise up to 25-30gold each if not even higher. Overall the raising demand for TS will make everything even more expensive. Simple Econemy ;)

Next weeks announcment / apollogize: wouldnt wonder when we need PTS instead of the announced TS to upgrade the amulette LoL So dont be to excited befor you see the real costs in game ;) You seariously thanking NC-Soft? This is not a freaking reduction thats messing around with players again to say "hey we care" while the just prepare the next punsh to your face 1. This so called reduction is just a reversion to the materials you needed befor patch from Okt.16th 2. you still will get only 24 instead of 35 transformation stones, at least i dont see anything that tells we will get more transformation stones then now. So overall crafting transformation stones will still be more expensive than befor Okt 16th And you realy say thank you? LoL

Yay 1 moonstone and 4 soulstone crystals and 1 elysian and 4 scared crystals. How many you need again for weapon, ring, earring, necklace, bracelet, belt, glove, soul, heart. amulet and pet? Wow, these flood of materials will significantly reduce the time you need to farm mats for upgrading. Dont get me wrong i for sur dont want anything presented on a silverplate, but thats just a bad joke considdering the sheer amount of mats you need. Oh and most importent Buff Food, yay, 3 kinds of default buff food, 3 kinds off candy buff food with same stats like default buff food from helloween event and now 3 kinds of thankgsgiving buff food again with same stats like default buff food and the buff food from helloween. When i remeber my math lessons right 3 times 3 are 9 so 9 storage slots in our already freaking expensive and very limited vaults occupied for just 3 different buff foods. guess with the next event we get another 3 buff foods with same stats to even occupie more slots in our storage. Why introducing a new type of buff food for every freaking event with same stats like the default buff food? just give us the default bufffod instead and stop spamming our storage with x-different items of same type like x different (group)revival charms and other stuff. Thats insane ...

You forgot to mention Ancient weapon level which is rng based in korea and gives ridicolous amounts of stats and costs redicolous amounts of oils. When we will get it ill guess we wont get the RNG version and it will cost even more oils than a max soul since the stats added to the weapon and soul. We also will get soulshild psyches which will boost stats even more. We get more and more items we need to farm while materials get more and more reduced. Back in time we had Weapon, Ring, Earring, necklace and belt, but we also had transformation stones for every region like viridian cost, cinderland, moonwater and we needed mats for every specific region, You start at viridian coast, you had to farm your mats at viridian cost to upgrade your stuff until you reached cinderlands. here you need other stuff for upgrading untill you reached moonwater and so on. you needed way less moonstones, soulstones, etc. and had way more ways to farm your stuff, like fraction dailys for soulstones, SSE for moonstones. Now you need moon-/soulstone crystals, sacred-/elysian orbs for everything, for your weapon, ring, earring, bracelet, necklace, belt, gloves, soul, heart, amulette, pet whil you only have very few spots to farm them Even MSP is not realy worth doing anymore, at least stage 4,5 and 6 cause sacred orbs are so expensive, you better sell them instead of buying keys, because if you dont get an evolved stone you make a loss compared to the price of the items you spend and you get.

Quite easy, add them for a tiny fee of 999 NCoins/each to the daily offer rotation But seriously, are there realy people doing it, i play since release but honestly i never saw any serious recruits for this, not even back in time when it was actual contend, people always only recruited for baylee at beastbog, at leas on my server.

You also say Hae Mujin would be easy to do and jet most people couldnt participate. What do you consider as a boosted lvl 60 with pretty low gear? Full TT / ET gear?

Why you call it abuse? lets be honest, without using alts to boost your main the majority of the playberbase might not even be able to do VT, let alone TT or ET. And without enough players who are able to run TT / ET its getting more and more hard to find a proper raid team and next raid is already comming up soon. So either you sell your kidney and firstborn to the russian / chinees mafia and use F10, or you use alts to at least partial catch up. Ill prefer last

Considering the fact that i havent got any violet stone since the p2w unity stone chest event, neither from Dialy/weekly Chest nor by refining, i'll guess not in 100 years. TBH i even got a blue one from trying to refine 1 violet and 7 blue just to test it :/ Anyway, i dont expect any "answer" from any NC-official at all to this question

Yunsang würde ich nicht unbedingt als Speerkämpfer bezeichnen. Seine Waffe ist ein Naginata Quelle: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naginata Allerdings gibt es im Spiel tatsächlich Speerkämpfer, die Lycandi in Mondwasser, die komischerweise auch als Volk im Spiel fehlen. Betrachtet man sich die Trailer, die derzeit auf YT im umlauf sind, wird die nächste Klasse eine Lightning (Blitz) Rangeklasse. Hatte zuerst die Hoffnung das dies der 3rd Spec des FM wird, was wohl eher nicht der Fall sein wird :(

Yeah for you its always players fault, players are lazy as hell dont want to farm blabla. Did you ever asked yourself why the hell oil price continusly is raising? just a little hint, Crude oil slowly is running out, the the efford to find new oilfields and to extract oil is raising what will result in more work and therefore higher prices. Higher demand for crude oil is doing the rest. NC-Soft continusly decreased farming spots for materials, especialy for moonstones. So its not that Oil companys are to lasy to extract oil or players are to lasy to farm, its the shortage of ressources and the higher demand that increases the price. Create more spots for effectivly farming materials and prices will decrease. Or another example: As a craftsman you wouldnt sell something that took 200 hours to produce for the same price as something that only took 10 hours right? Easy laws of econemy ;) But hey, just take the easy way and blame the players to be to lazy and everything is fine... [/zynism]

Maybe because Raiding is the only challange left in this game after they nerfed all dungeons into a "kindergarden" no mech hack n' slay BS? TBH at the moment my raid is the only thing that keeps me playing and most days i dont even bother to start the game when it is not a raid day

Yeah thats NC-Soft, oh bots farming outfits to salvage them for fabric, lets remove them and offer them only in F10, problem solved. Bots farming moonstones, lets remove them bla bla... But doing something against bots, nope why they should bother? doesnt bring money. We have reportet speedbots with video evidence nearly every day, support just said oh thanks we check this. 8 weeks later same botsstill ran around SSE collecting meteors and inured... Without accountbound items the game would already be dead cause NC-Soft force you to play multiple chars when you want to progress cause without alts its even harder. And thats the problem. They intentionaly decreases material supplys over time. It nothig to say agains "nerfing" outdated contend as ong as there would be new contend replaceing the outdated. If they now remove moonstones completly from SSP the price will rise even more. Even you could get a max of 6 MS per mining people still farm it to craft their stuff. Naksu was outdated so why they didnt add moonstones to 20th floor or later ot outlaw island, master Hong or now Mao? They know the more they limit a ressource the more likly at least some players will buy them in F10. But one thing they dont considder, the more free players leave the game because of things getting more an more expensive, the more problems raise for those who are willing to pay cause its getting harder and harder to find groups. You alread notice it with waiting times in F8 even daily dungeons can take up to 1 or 2 minutes to find a group. For dungeons not on the daily rotation it can even take much longer and finding decent groupmembers for a raid, well lets not talk about that, next raid is already comming up while most players dont even run TT.

Yeah mao gloves, never ending story that made for sure some players quit the game. I had to farm them 2 times and i dont know how many runs i did, i just know i was very close to uninstall the game cause it was so freaking frustrating. Why the hell they made Mao Glove salvageable for a Alpha coin? thats the only reason to make the droprate close to non existend. Either they could have added the Clove to the merchant where you could buy it for 1 alpha coin (1 not 2,3 or 5 cause its only worth 1 freaking coin) or made just add a chance to drop an alpha coin, make the glove not salvagable and let it drop like every other breaktrough material. But hell no, NC-Soft is always looking for new ways to frustrate players and to reduce the playerbase even further with their desissions.

SSE was always 24/7 full of people,at least untill they reduced the prestige point from monsters. After the have nerved MSP to the ground it was almost fanished, but only then and not before. BTW: with the nerf of prestige you could get from monsters they also reduced the available soulstones (Less prestige available for same amount of people resulting in less chest to be bought) and later they nerfed it again by replacing most of soulstones with soulstone crystals. So in fact NC-Soft deliberatly nerfed a lot of material supplys on purpose making things more expensive so stop finding any stupid excuses or invent any funny reasons like SSE to less people farmed SSE so thzey had to reduced times where you can get moonstones to keep them farmable. thats the biggest BS i ever heard. Befor they limit the time where you can get moonstones to Sat. / Sun. 1 PM to 1 AM we had up to 4 channels full with people doing SSE. Even after that we had 2-3 channels people farming prestige for soulstones. Since they reduced prestige and even reduced the amount of soulstones we only have 2 channels but now realy alomost vanished except for 1-2 high geared who do mining solo. Maybe in NA you couldnt farm properly but on EU servers SSE always was full with people, and we originaly had 4 DE, 4 FR and 4 UK/EN = 12 Server overall. After the first servermerge we still had 2 DE, 2 FR and 2 UK So if NC-Soft realy justified the time limit with "Not enough people to farm in SSE" NC-Soft bloddy lied and dont know their or even checked their gamestate before doing randomly changes.

You are freaking kidding me? Do you even play Blade and Soul? You realy claiming people where complaining they could not farm, because there are not enough people in SSE? Sources please, or are you just deliberatly trolling? I have spend hours in SSE every day and at different times, Morning, Noon, Afternoon, Night. In fact the opposite of your claim was the case. There have been so many players in SSE 24/7 that it was hard to make enough damage to get a chest from the mining bosses, at least on the german servers and ill guess it wasnt much different on the EN and FR servers. So dont claim it was changed beacause there have been to less players to do mining thats totaly bs, but as a whiteknight you have to come up with an excuse even its the most stupid and unbelivable one... And who controlls the Key supplyment? Of course the playerbase its all fault of the players [/zynism] So lets reduce the amount of transformation stones whil increase the amount of moonstones you need for crafting, this will for sure reduce costs. Its just another way NC-Soft gate importend ressources and force people to buy stuff from F10 TBH, i did lot of battleground back in time but Battleground is not what it used to be, its a 1 shot whale ego polishing fiesta. Skill doesnt mater anymore only thing that matters is how good you are in creditcard anycancel. Thats why most people avoid battleground. Arena is another thing, 1. freaking lags 2. more freaking lags 3. if you are unlucky you are already 1/2 - 3/4 dead when you just spawn because of freaking lags 4. Ranking is dominated by pvp pros with 12 chars of one class, so its not even worth trying to get into ranking and NC-Soft doestn give a ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ about it and support this kind of abusing the ranking

Dude, thats like flat earthers claiming earth is flat cause they cant see the curve or earth is under a dome cause there cant be presure next to the vacuum in space. WTF is wrong with you? NC Soft constantly decreased the supply of materials during the last 3 years. We had way more dungeons dropping materials / materials chests / pouches even, bosses droped materialchests / pouches. We get way less materials while we need way more time to farm them. Even MSP 4-6 is not realy worth to farm anymore because sacred orbs are now at ~2 gold. You need 4 keys to open stage 4, 5 and 6 which are 12 Sacred Orbs or ~24 Gold. If you dont get an evolved Stone its a loss to open the cheast instead of selling the orbs. Just to stay at the example of Fuel / Oil, Oil price increases cause our oil ressources getting lower and lower. If a ressource is not available or is getting more and more harder to obtain the price will rise. Its not the players fault when ressourses are reduced by NC-Soft, nor its players fault when demand for ressources are increased by NC-Soft and its not the fault of the market. Its a Result of the BS NC-Soft keep doing since years. To say "Oh ressources are so expensive cause you only need 1 minute to craft things" is plain BS. 1. You need more materials now then you needed befor the patch to craft Transformation stones 2. You only get 24 Transformation stones instead of 35 you got before and need nore mats 3. You need way more Transformation stones for upgrading In fact more ressources needed, less outcome and higher demand, thats how NC-Soft knowingly and intended manipulated the pricing for everything, especialy for weapon upgrades. Most Poeple not even running TT let alone ET and in Asia the next raid was already released. Thats while prices increased, not because people now crafting like crazy. Will you ever stop defending every NC-Soft BS? Guess not

So we have a 10/20 times higher supply for moonstones while the demand is way lower than back in time. Please tell me why the price raised from 2-3 gold to 9-10 gold each when we dont need that much and have so many sources. What universe do you came from?

Doesnt matter and overall dont justify that there never was any replacement for a removed moonstone source They reduced moonstone sources way to much while demand for moonstones constantly increases

Just as always you forgot a tiny but importent point 1. early in game Moonstones where available at Naksun (non PVP 15th floor Tower of Mushin) who could drop 1, 10 and even 100 moonstones Monestones have been removed and no other place where added 2. Moonstones have been farmable at SSP 24/7/365 wich where reduced to Sat. and Sun. 01 pm to 01 am only No other places where added These are 2 major reductions while the request for moonstones constantly is growing. The Result: Moonestones went from 2-3 gold back then to now 9 to 10+ Gold making upgrade for everyone much more expensive. Thats the same with every materials, even the crystals. NC-Soft constantly reduce the material supplys while the request constantly is growing. Dont know what im talking about? Well i remember times where every dungeon dropped materials and material chests / pouches where not only part of the dynaic quest but also part of the boss loot. You had way more ways to farm your stuff. Yeah for example, instead of getting usefull stuff from Mao boss 1 / 2 you gett useless naryu coins no one need *clap hands* Have fun with VT gear LoL, even only one TT/ET geared player in SSE and you will get next to nothing trying to farm stuff there and there is always at least 1 or 2 high geared players there. At Battle after mining you wont even be able to hit the boss, hes instant dead

@Cyan du you realy think you can silence this issue to dead? Over 2 weeks and still only your bad excuse about people who seems not be be able to communicate properly and are bold enough to advertise a raise of costs as reduction. This thread wont get to oblivion. Im still sitting on a few Premium transformation stones craftet due to your freaking false advertiseing, lost a lot of mats crafting them and now selling them wont even cover the costs of the redicolous amount of transormaton stones i need to upgrade When will you and your team finaly do your job you get paid for and start communicating with the community?

guckst du da ;) Geht NC Soft sprichwörtlich am Arsch vorbei, weil bringt kein Geld die FL zu fixen. Da interessiert es auch nicht, wenn immer mehr Spieler von dem Bug betroffen werden.

Yeah more gold sinks, we just dont have enough of them. Lets reduce every dungeon and raid reward to a few silver and kill the game finaly, great idea. Everyone can do TT and even ET, there are plenty of players having the gear and most off us are already geared for the upcomming new raid, we just dont know where to spend our money, cause they made weaponupgrades so unbelivable cheap with the last patch. So hell yeah, lets add a fee of 1000 Gold for each gem to send it to an alt or something like that, lets get rid of all the millions of gold we have and dont know how to waste..... What the hell is wrong with you? Do you think prices for moonstones, sacred orbs, elysian orbs, evolved stones (premium) transformation stones and so on wil decrease? for sure they wont. Since the last freaking patch prices rose a lot, let alone transformationstones went up from 12-13 gold to 20 gold+ As long as the supplyment with materials wont drasticaly increase, especialy the tradeable you need for crafting, any other goldsink would be another nail in the coffin.

Oh realy? Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_%26_Soul So let me get this straight, NC-Soft is the Publisher AND Developer of BnS but BnS doesnt fall under NCSoft nor they have power over the development? That explain everything, overall the complete mess and chaos when the company dont even have power over their employees and products LoL Why the hell you are fighting all against bnsbuddy? Can bnsbuddy used to cheat? yes Do you need bnsbuddy to cheat: no Most players use bnsbuddy just as a qol enhancment. I use it cause it starts bns much faster than the default launcher. It also gives me the ability to terminate bns without using the task manager, and BnS realy is persistend to stay in and occupy my memory after closing the game. You want a programm to get banned that made bns much more playable to many players, since NC-Soft doesnt care about optimizing since the game was released. You want a programm to get banned because some people might use it to cheat, while you dont even need it at all. All xml edits can be made without bnsbuddy, so you dont need it to cheat. So just because some people who use bns buddy use it to cheat you want it to get banned and make bns unplayable for a few 1000 others who are honest? Do you think it will stop them from cheating. when they ban bnsbuddy, they wil just edit xml files by themself and continue cheating. So tell me how would banning bnsbuddy help anyone? Have fun finding parties in F8 or even a raid when another few 100 players leave the game

The default plan, silence the problem to oblivian and add more RNG-Boxes / materials to F10 you realy expect an answer? Since it seems like NC-Soft didnt arrive at the age of Emails / Telephone and Videoconference and seems to use still snail mail (and not even air-mail) it would take a few weeks to send letters back and for ;) Also their team is occupied with other problems, for example how to milk even more money out of the left players, which is way more importend, then to solve the mess they made with the last patches. So dont expect any informations soon...
