People here acting like rankings are made for alts. In most other games you can't even rank up more than 1 character per account (that you choose as "main"). Like really?
And yes I abused alts myself, got over 10k hmc from alts alone, but it was obviously a design flaw for our population. You think entering Sanctum of the Masters on a literally fresh 60 char (with tons of free 60 vouchers they gave over time mind you), not killing a single mob, and getting ladder rewards for that was intended? xD
I agree that with the amount of players, the amount of venture tokens were too much. But to replace it with 50gold seems a bit on the minimum side. 50g is around the same amount that u get from 2 dungeon quest. Seems like a weird tradeoff to me. -

Hi everyone,
I want to leave a quick update about this issue. We kept it in the List of Known Issues for tomorrow's maintenance, but we'll try to fix the issue during the maintenance. It's not our first attempt, and we're hopeful that this fix will work. We've been investigating this bug for a while based on player reports, but this is a bug that our QA team is unable to reproduce in their environment. So we're unable to determine whether a fix is effective until it's on the Live server and we've verified that the issue is fixed.
Thanks a lot for your patience.
I just logged in and Den of the Ancients works again for me! Thanks for the continuous updates in this forum! 🙂-

I like greeny guy already LMAOOOO he came in here guns blasting.
People complaining about things out of their control has run rampant and it has made the community a very toxic and short-sighted place. People don't put any effort into questions, ask rhetorical or barbed questions, or flat out insult people. There's nothing constructive!
I've been playing this game and leading my guild for three years, and I've always done my best to be realistic about expectations and shot calls from NCSoft, whether they were good or bad. I happened to personally know that half of the people posting on these threads blasting NCSoft don't even play the game any more. I was given a link to this discussion thread by someone who doesn't play the game any more. Alot of the hatred for the game is coming from older players, and it's always put a damper on the feelings of the new ones who come in. Examples?
Soul boost? Amazing for new players! It lets them get a head start and helps make our daily grind more rewarding.
Who kept complaining about it..? Older toxic players who were whining about how an event literally geared towards the newer half other playerbase didn't help them as much. "It's not fair!"
Call to Arms? Same thing. Amazing boosting event meant for new players, and yet older players kept whining about how horrible the event was, since it didn't help them as much.
As I mentioned before... shortsightedness. Lack of proper critical thinking.
Not that I agree with all of NCSoft's decisions, but I hardly think they've made only poor ones. Keep blasting greeny guy, defending yourself is leagues better than no response at all. To many, silence is admission of guilt!
Yes, you're absolutely correct that people just run rampant on the forums, also people that do not play anymore and just start toxicity, and I absolutely disgust it.
My goal for this forum was not to be toxic, but just state a general issue. I hope that is how I got the point and message across at least 🙂 -

You new to this game ? it has been like this for years. Since they noticed the PC market dosent make the money.
No I am not, I'm a veteran player, and I know it's been like this for years, but since he's new I do not want to start blasting him and blame him it's been like this, because it's not his fault.
10 hours ago, Green Storm said:I want to take a few minutes to address your post and, at the same time, other posts that I've been reading over the past few weeks (I've been reading forum posts every day). I'm still busy getting settled in my new role for Blade & Soul. I need to fully understand how things work behind the scenes before I can start answering players' questions and share more information. There are many new people to work with, processes to know, and goals to think about. It's not an easy task to catch up on an MMO with a long history and an experienced community with a set of expectations, but I will try my best!
I keep learning about the game from multiple sources, including playing it, so that I can have a lot of background information about all the content I'll be covering in the future. I made the conscious decision not to jump right away into the forums because my feeling was that I wouldn't have a lot of interesting things to say. It is my long-term goal to become an active participant here, but I also want to do it in a way that will benefit the community. I also intend to engage more Blade & Soul players on social media, but again this will happen later.
That being said, I would like players to stop tagging me in their posts. Please focus on your feedback and questions. I want to remind everyone about the current Code of Conduct, which I will be updating fairly soon. I encourage all players to express their feedback, questions, or concerns, but it's equally important to do it in a way that satisfies these values: 1) Respect; 2) No threats; 3) No harassment or defamation; 4) Being constructive. This is in no way a demand to not address difficult topics or to censor yourself, but I would like everyone to make an effort about the way discussions happen on the forums. Chose your words with care because they help define the Blade & Soul forum community. They can be more inviting or share more understanding of your perspective.
Happy to discuss this further!
Thank you for the reaction and even further discussion in this thread. Possibly seen from a lot of answers we're not used to this kind of forum activity, so I think this is a big step in the good direction regarding communication with us! 🙂
I'll stop with the tagging, it's probably a lot of extra stuff besides everything you need to get used to right now. I hope everything else you need to get used to is going well! I'm just happy we got some clarification regarding this issue. It shows that you'd care about the forums but not just ready yet to really dive into them.
Thank you! -
Hello @Green Storm
Since the game does not have GMs online, the forums have been the place to ask or complain about stuff regarding the game. Back in the day, and not even too long ago, we'd see activity of some NCSoft employee in the forums answering some forum questions/complaints every single day. But right now when the community needs you guys the most, there's nothing to be seen or heard, like the community is unimportant to this company. Every day people are leaving the game or playing very minimally due to the fact of in-game changes are applied but not explained, and when people ask on forums why the changes were applied, is ignored.
My point is that it would be nice if there's more activity in the forums again, like Hime did quite well in my opinion regarding activity. Now I know you're quite new to this position, and probably still getting to know exactly what and how. The community can help with that aswell, as long as activity is shown.
Hopefully this will get a little bit of attention, thanks.-

I mean, smart move of them, because if I understood correctly you kind of need to do the den quests for soul boost to complete it, so now people have been grinding and playing for 3 weeks and still missing like 21 days worth of mao daily quests, so people will instead of playing 3 weeks and yeeting off are forced to log in another 3 weeks.. quite genius imo 😄
I wouldn't even be surprised at this point but that would be the biggest dickmove ever xD

Ok I'm a bit irritated how KR seems to hate west so much to make the game WORSE on purpose.
Why do we need so many synthesis stones for our mythical upgrade tries compared to kr? One +20 ATTEMPT is 100 synthesis stones for us, it's beyond CRAZY, with the chance still being only 6%. Kr uses only 20 synthesis stones for +20 try, which is reasonable number. We need 100!!
On top of that, we don't have the gold sources KR do, like Kaebi village. So in fact we need it EASIER to get to +20, not five times HARDER.
What is with ncsoft, you literally want to make it painful to play in west just to shut it down soon? While in KR they at least trying to keep players happy and interested.
I honestly agree with that it looks like they are intentially making it harder and worse just so more people quit and eventually just shut it down, they really don't give a ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ about anything and don't even know what we use for upgrades or either what our gold income is compared to KR.

Hello,
It's been weeks since one of the patches completely destroyed Den of the Ancients for everyone that cleared it once before (people that never entered before can get in the dungeon).
Since it's part of soulboost, you guys should have this on your top priority as, if I remember correctly, you need 21 daily quest completions, which takes 21 days.
As we also do not get compensated for this, with for example 7 free clears on soulboost each week it is not fixed (which is in my eyes the only real compensation that can be given for this issue). People will have everything in the soulboost completed but still need to do 21 days of Den of the Ancients to complete the soolboost, which is a waste of time if you want to level your soulboost as fast as possible. Yes, the event is 6 months, but that doesn't mean everyone wants to take their time completing it, I'm sure there are many people trying to rush the soulboost, to get the gear and items as soon as possible.
@Green Storm, is it possible to give more frequent updates regarding this issue, as after the last announcement it was not being fixed, it seems like it's just forgotten.-

I'm fearing the same, and it would be a big mistake if that would happen.

The doubtful stuff:
This is all the stuff that can probably be removed without upsetting that many.- Treasure Pouch - We get tons from other sources
- Taigong's Auto-Bait - If you don't fish, this is useless
- Sterling Reputation Charm - We get lots from dailies
- Raid Treasures Selection Chest - It's ok, if you want to get the soulshields a day earlier...
- Dungeon Treasures Selection Chest - Lacks needed scales that we get on other boxes, and we get about 50-60 of those other boxes A DAY
- Legendary Gem Hammer - I have over 800, but others may need
- Evolved Stone - Only used to make Sacred Oils to sell
- Unity Token - With the Honing Oils, you can buy Sacred Vial. Or some Psyches.
- Koldrak Scale - You get it everyday. 3 is not a world shattering amount.
- Honing Oil - The meme... The legend! The Compensinator 6000!!!
- Special XP Charm - You get a few of these everyday
- Searing Grandmaster's Etching Stone - You will get nasty useless stats for a huge amount of gold and materials
- Chromatic Thread - Only way to obtain them for free, but not everybody cares about these, I think...
- Weekly Challenge Upgrade Selection Chest - If you do weeklies every week, you may think it isn't as useful
- Weekly Accessory Booster Selection Chest - Only useful for Twisted Serpent soulshields, if you even can get a single raid...
I'd argue that the Special XP Charms and Sterling reputation charms are useful items, UNLESS you are either unity 210 or HM40. Even if it's not a lot, every bit of experience in both level and unity counts. There is no cooldown either so I'd take them everyday. This does not mean they are the best ofcourse! 🙂
Regarding the Searing Grandmaster's Etching Stone. All in all I'd find them useful too. As you stated with the Chromatic Threads, there's not many ways to obtain these higher rank etching stones. Yes, they do take materials, but you might get that sweet mystic and you'll forget about those materials instantly! At least, that is how I see them! 🙂
Overall I think you summed up the rewards quite well. But the best item from daily dash is and will always be the Burning Devotion Chest (Premium only tho) 😛 -
On top of all the typo's in the entire patch notes, the information that Evolved Stones would become limited after the event was also completely forgotten. So not only do they mistype half the information, they also forget to add very crucial info, it's ridiculous.
-
The only way people could have known this was happening (me and maybe some others here included) is because they are in Alice KR discord server and read the patchnotes from there. They stated in the summary of patch notes that evolved stones would be limited after the event ended. The actual patch notes indeed do NOT say this anywhere.
It's a scandal it's changed like that without notifying everyone about this sudden change.
Outrageous.-

Okay jesus I did not write this to make u feel super attacked. You replying so aggressively and even attacking me 10x more than I was doing doesn't make it better.
I take back what I said, it might be a ripoff, yes, I agree. But then again, this is NCSoft you're talking about, so I hope you're not surprised about them adding more paywall stuff. It's been like this for a long time, and it'll get worse most likely.
I do not want to cause fights in this thread as I, indeed, misunderstood the purpose of this thread. Hope you can ignore my previous post, thanks 🙂 -
First of all, open your eyes before you start crying.
The battle plaque is 2400 ncoins, the BUNDLE is 4400 ncoins, if you want to cry about the price at least pick the actual price.
Second, if the battle pass does not satisfy you, just don't buy it and go on. No one is forcing you to buy a battle pass.I understand that people literally want to cry about everything this company does, but don't throw in ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ lies to make it even worse.

xD imagine crying that others are "cheating". Just cuz the majority does it, doesn't mean everyone does, stop being so single minded.
Can we have this topic terminated @Hime? These 'fights' have been going on ever since the huge forum about implementing an anti-cheat became a thing.
This forum just causes unnecessary drama. -
People that agree that UE3 has to come back because Koldrak is unplayable due to server lag are people that have no idea what kind of HELL UE3 was. As said above, you might not have had server lag that much, but instead you had 1-2 fps, like that was a good time. You've no idea and a lot of you probably have only played UE4 thinking it cannot have been worse in UE3, but believe me and others, it was a lot worse.

First of all, you can literally get PvP gear now with the tokens from Circle of Sundering and Den of the Ancients. Even though it's starting gear, everyone has to upgrade their gear, not expecting to get highest gear for free to compete with non f2p players.
For PvE, it purely depends on how fast you want to progress. If you don't care about gear too much then you can easily farm what you need and slowly get vials/petpacks and whatever you need. Especially with the C2A event that we had, you can clear HM dungeons (I would recommend either HoI, TC or FoE). Yes, it will take time, you will have to learn mechanics, I know people that have spend hours and hours learning mechanics and clearing once, but that's part of the MMO satisfaction, no? Or is that just for me that I get my fun from learning/clearing dungeons instead of the game providing me with end game gear?
F2P, you can get really far, you just need to know how and need to have the motivation to play, as there's a lot of stuff possible to do and little information available for how to do that. -
Hi,
If you're making an emergency maint, at least state everything you'll change/remove. For example, the armorers remnants tab in dragon express is just completely removed, while not stated in the announcement. Also, regarding the same topic, it had NEVER happened before that previous event currency couldn't be used anymore right after the event ended. All in all, this is such a stupid way to treat your community, as we're missing out on those already rare vials and other rewards even more now with the armorers remnant page gone.
Most people enjoy your game, make them keep these feelings instead of letting us think swiping our bank account is becoming the only possible way to gear up, thanks.-

Dailies aren't originally supposed to be done solo, so why expect them to downgrade dailies so hard everyone with story gear can solo it.
And as said before, if you're too lazy to learn basic attack rotations, then go play another game.
In regards of raids, go pick up the torch and start your own raid and find people that wanna join and learn mechanics. It is actually quiet fun to learn raid mechanics and gives an idea what it is all about. There are loads of videos showing/explaining mechanics of raid bosses so you already have a head start compared to when it just came out and people had to figure it out themselves + lower damage than you have with your story gear right now. -
Yea, EM and NM 25% and HM 10% HP decrease. I don't know details about damage.
Stop being a whining player and expect them to nerf dungeons so that you can oneshot them, go play another game if you expect that from an MMORPG. -

I thought the same until I ran Forest of Echoes, that must be the worst ENG voice in the game XD

We agree Hard Difficulty should be hard, but we wanted to slightly increase the dungeon clear rate. The changes for Hard Difficulty is small so it'll still be almost as challenging as it is now, maybe just a tad quicker to finish.
Thanks for the response! If it's only a little decrease it should be fine 🙂
We will see the changes after maintenance 🙂

Can we expect the class change voucher anytime soon?

Hello,
I was wondering if we can expect the class change voucher anytime soon. It's been a while since we had it and with the new class "Musician" coming out I was wondering if we get the class change voucher soon too :)
