This seems to have gone away and/or been solved. I noticed on *some* requests, there was a blank check box displayed on the page with the request, with no visible text next to it (may have been same color text against dark background). But found after checking this box, and hitting submit again, the quest really was taken in submission. The check box didn't appear on all submissions, and I wasn't able to narrow it down as to which submissions triggered the checkbox, but on submissions that triggered it, they didn't get submitted until the checkbox was checked and the report was resubmitted. Sorry I wasn't able to narrow it down further, but like I said, the problem has also seemed to go away (maybe whatever triggered the checkbox also went away, so I didn't have to check the box again. Talk about confusing. Just thought I'd follow up. Thanks for the feedback on the report.

I've had about 3 support requests get dropped after I submitted them. I think it might have to do with my thinking they were submitted, but there being a check box that needs to be checked and the submission re-submitted. The check box has no text that I can see (maybe black-on-black), but have had 3/5 submissions just disappear when I thought they were submitted. Now see that I didn't get confirmation emails from those missing submissions either. Not sure what the check box says, but after I submit, it was highlighted in red saying "must be completed or filled out" . That's when I finally noticed the check box (dunno if it says they get my soul or what, but I checked it anyway), and resubmitted and then got a reply email. This has had me pulling my hair out and wondering what's going on with a few bug submissions. I wonder if they ever read this forum or if I have to try to submit a bug-report in their forum / webpage too? *sigh* I get that all this is mainly due to the buggy musician class with broken skins and quest lines...(sigh).

It's a voice message that says invalid item. Hard to take a screen shot of that. But THANKS for confirming the prob. Support was not only clueless but a bit disbelieving of the problem. Sad that support has no clue of what goes on in the game, but that's what happens when they hire a 3rd party (zendesk) to handle support that has no 2-way communication w/developers.

Thanks! I lost the weap during a game bug, but support said I had to have a video and/or screenshots to prove I had the quest + item because the quest was no longer in my letters section and the weap was gone, so of course I was making it up because the support person didn't know what I was talking about. Sometimes I expect the support people to know what the game looks like or what quests are there for different classes and what items would be normal for a char of a class to have. Yeah, it doesn't look like a harp exactly, but it was prettier than anything I had yet -- which had me try to buy the two skins in F10-cosmetic -- both of which have bugged out and won't open (system voice says (invalid item)). Similar problem there -- support has no idea what I'm talking about with it being in F10 nor the fact that both are still unopened in my inventory and can't be opened. I'm having another prob now w/my character unable to proceed in main quest in ... zebong(?) district where an old man wants protection from gambling thugs -- I can only attack 1, the other I can't even initiate an attack on -- and quest says I have to get rid of the _2_ thugs. So mainquest is stopped at that point. Submitted a support request on that as well -- it may be related to the weird sympom of illusion skins going missing and/or not being openable -- as I've had 2 game lockups where I can't move (only float), and one game crash as I entered ironsights academy to get quest for starting HM-levels @ masters cave. So many bugs, wondering what cause(s) is/are if new class is really that well played, but I see others that have no prob. I'm just lucky I guess. Thanks again!

anyone played a bard (or whatever they are called) and got the sheet music quest? It was a purple quest. Does anyone remember if there was a quest reward on that including a weap skin? Thanks...

On one of my new characters, I created a songstress character. I bought 2 cosmetic weap skins from F10, the sunflower and cherry blossom skins. When I try to open them, I get "Invalid item". Huh? I asked support and they said they need the exact item names and screen shots showing the items purchased and cannot fix the problem or get the dead items out of my inventory without this -- and if I send the details in they might be able to forward it to a developer, but won't be able to keep me updated as to what's going on. (!?!?!) They are weap skins. How complicated can that be? Is buying things in F10 going to be like upgrades: "there is a chance (>70%) of purchase failure and items may be non-functional in your inventory? I'm sure they can look in F10 and our inventory. Or did something really break?

So what's up with this? No one has sad anything. unfortunately, it's like this after every maintenance, but it usually doesn't last more than a few hours. With maintenance taking multiple hours, you'd think they'd be able to get this in place by the time the system came back up. So what's going on -- why are things like this that are glaringly messed up not fixed more promptly? Maybe they could fix outfit rotation in cosmetics at the same time?...

I guess you didn't see -- there was no option that I could see to apply it to the current character. It might have worked at one point in time, but I couldn't get it to work.

How many stones/points can change from patch-to-patch. I can only go from experience when they were 1st introduced followed y experimenting following. You may get mythics in 4 attempts, vs. w/4 mythics, I hae yet to get a heroic, ever. This tells me your experience is different than mine -- which is why I posted , wanting a more transparent and guaranteed way to get heroic and ascension. it's like the new "variable" upgrade. I notice that I always get an upgrade on a fix-upgrade, but I nearly never get upgrades on variables, thus my preference for methods that provide a fixed and reliable upgrade. To me, the variable upgrade is a way to prevent upgrades from working or a hidden way to multiply the costs by a factor of 5-10. Having to invest a huge amount of mats to upgrade my accessories, knowing it is likely to fail and that they is nearly no chance of success, prevents me from even trying. If it was really 50/50, i might try, but when it is 1 out of 5 (or more), its too expensive.

It's not too many points for heroic -- heroic is listed as small chance -- needs more point to convert small chance to "likely" or "near sure thing".

nvrmnd, no option to apply to current character

In order to purchase a lvl60 voucher, I had to create a character to access the HM store -- even on the login page. If I purchase a lvl60 voucher, and go back to login page -- can I use it on the newly created character or do I need to create another character to use it on? Tnx!

I will try that, for the ascension, but why am I not able to merge 8 awakened radiant, vs. being limited to 4? Seems like an unnecessary restriction given how many stones are needed to go into heroic. If nc is afraid of people somehow spamming this option, limit it to once a day/acct? tnx for suggstion on sunstone -- though, TBH, I don't remember getting those off hand -- they may be there, but so many different stones/stuffs, hard to remember what all I get on any given day/chest.

I collect radiance stones, then combine 8->purple to yellow/gold, then 8 of those to get awakened; then ... I would combine 8 of those to get a heroic, except its denied. After collecting 512 purple radiance stones, I find I am not allowed to combine 8 awakened to get a heroic, but am only allowed to combine 4 (four) to nearly guarantee a fail for getting a heroic outcome. WHY? Why am I disallowed combining 8 to get heroic? On top of that, there is no way I know of to get heroic ascension except via Pay-to-gamble to have low chance of winning heroic take you might win w/tokens if you buy enough. Why are heroics and ascension stones only available via gamble-to-win? At very least, I should be able to combine 8 awakened and not be limited to 4. Why use some point-limit to disallow upgrade after I collected all the mats? Seems rather arbitrary.

As I run into find an area that semi-open -- I see plenty of characters just standing around doing nothing -- no respawns whether they are close to others or not. If they are close to others, I'm more likely to see no monsters anywhere, as they "help" each other clear out monsters, but I see no sign of being next to others helping respawn. Not saying it doesn't help, just that I've never seen players together having better respawn rates -- only worse monster kill rates as they get in each other's way. Only got hourglasses 1st week they were added. After that, they were apparently removed. I.e. luck had nothing to do with it -- they were possible early on, then removed. :-(

Thanks for the ptr, that kang charges ratings emblems not darkweld stones, so not nearly as many, however out of 22 tix on the wheel, got zero hourglasses and zero soups. I have to say that even with a way to get wheeltix, that's still not a good way to get hourglasses. Only way I've seen, was from Darkweald drop in the 1st week of the even (none since) and occasionally listed in F10(HMstore). Still wish there was a better way to spend more time in DW and get the exp. Lately, I've had two mornings when I didn't get enough kills to finish the DW quest (kill 200 monsters). I babysat the session this morning, and reason seems to be lack of monsters. I find an area with 20-30 monsters in it, wipe them out, then they don't regen. Only way I finished quest was by switching to another channel where I got lucky and the area wasn't cleared out yet. Anyway to maybe increase the respawn rate? to at least allow finishing the quest in the time allotted? It's not the fight time -- but the travel time between monsters + picking up loot bags. Respawn might not be as much an issue if could spend more time in there / day (some easier way to get hourglasses). I even switched my guild to Acquired Taste, so I could be sure to have the soup to trade to the muchin NPC for the DarkWeald soup, but there's only so much I can do with low-access (limited time) and sparse monster respawns. Thanks!

Where? Neither of the Darkweald NPC's in Muchins sell wheel tix, at all. If ONLY that was true! But sadly, if it is there, I'm missing it. Please tell me where I can buy oculus wheel tix, since I really am not seeing it. Thanks!

Darkweald isn't an option with only 1 hours allowed/day and no reasonable option to obtain time extensions.

In s12, they drop 5 guaranteed / run. In stages less than s5, they drop 0 in 30 runs or less. That is effectively zero. With 10 tix from carries at s5, I got zero hourglasses. Getting zero in lower stages, that result in zero hourglasses, is effectively zero compared to s12, where one can get 5 guaranteed. Saying to farm lower rates that have a 0/30 chance of dropping for a tix that gives a 0/10 chance of dropping an hourglass = a less than 0/300 chance of getting an hourglass. To be clear, where can I have some guaranteed chance of getting hourglasses, since as I watch, more and more people are reaching above HM30, while I effectively stand still?

Have tried it with and without other screen caps as other screen caps work w/no problem. Been using BnS since 2018, and never seen this problem until this last January. Not sure what you would mean about not rolling with a 34" monitor. Haven't needed new drivers -- no new hardware. Same graphix card. What do you mean FHD? (is sufficient)? I haven't tried windowed fullscreen + picture, I usually just use fullscreen. As for using Win7, I just wanted to keep a desktop -- Win10/11 also have been less stable than Win7 as they are constantly rolling out new versions -- some of the Win10 series that didn't work with BnS for a period. BnS has worked since day 1 on Win7, never had problems (except this year in screen shots).

Someone told me to I needed to be able to farm s12, to get wheel tix, but best I can solo is s1-s3 depending on dungeon. So how can I get more hourglasses? Do they have to relegated only to higher stage dungeons?

Baloney -- not everyone is willing to be a wooden dummy to be killed in PvP. PvP is no fun because players aren't made equal. The equipment is partially balanced, but I have no PvP equipment (most of which is purchasable - Pay-to-Win). It's not a matter of refuse to do them, but to get the mats, you need to WIN. If you lose all the time, or are shot down all the time -- no mats for you. Sorry -- that's not balance and proves there needs to be alternate ways to get rewards when you don't stand a chance in Pvp. You want it to be a game where PvP experts can get mats, but others can't. How is that fair or attractive to new players. It's not a matter of "refuse" but "can't", unless you want to hand out the same mats, regardless of win/lose. Make PvP about rankings, not who has access to mats and you'll see the state of Pvp improve. But having half the population be a practice dummy with no or small rewards -- that's what gives you the state of PvP it is currently. I say "half", because in PvP (esp 1:1), there is a winner and a loser, so 50% have to be losers in order for the other 50% to soak up the mats, with the lowers getting dust. You want some of us to be your target dummies -- it has to be worth our while. FWIW, I have no problem being a dummy for someone (especially someone lower level than me) so they can make game goals needed to advance. I've done that countless of times -- such that someone might think I'm farmable. But go up against higher level people, do I get the same courtesy? Nep. I'm still missing my "Heart Breaker" title. There's no way you can entice me to play a PvP when it is completely one-sided. That's no fun for the dead-dummy side.

Perhaps more tragic than sad is trying to get outfits that are from old events, or hard-to-run farms. What I'd really be ecstatic for is a way to take an outfit to a "seamstress" who could duplicate it for you for a _reasonable_ fee. That could allow me to put favorite outfits on multiple characters. Outfits that are hard to get or I want to to allow my "sisters" (alts on my acct) to borrow at will: Outfit: Problems (from memory) Pure White Seductress: (untradeable; rando side-drop from purchase in F10) White Stalker Rainment: (drop from stalker in Muchins -- infrequent drop After Midnight: Purchaseable with Midnight SSP tokens - impossible to farm; worse: can't use mount as you can on SSP; Dark dignitary Random from some event -- at least account tradeable, but with 12 alts, really need to purchase more; many/most people play multiple alts/day, so monthly tokens to allow char-transfer are not a usable way; Any outfit/access purchaseable via SSP tokens (as they are no longer available). Those are just outfits I remember off hand, since I'm reminded by lack of them on alts recently.

Sadder: many, MANY times, I've no clue what some vendor is selling, and only find out after such items have been removed. There are so many vendors in the game (not a bad thing), but so many, that it is hard to know what vendors have what stock, or especially when it changes. While release notes may make some mention of changes, I am not close to remembering all the NPC vendor names, let alone other NPC names or where they are located. It was really helpful to have all SoulShield vendors in one place (Muchin's), so I could do upgrades of them all within Mushins rather than trying to find which vendor had the next upgrade or where they were.

If you have a higher res screen (say 3840 x 2160), its hard to have a clear image where the UI is readable. Iv you try 1920x1080, the picture isn't sharp -- much like mentioned in MS Win's resolution dialogs where they mention that if you don't use the monitor's native res, you'll get slight bluriness, especially in/around text. If I try to run at native res, text and icons/widgets are very tiny and text is often unreadable. If I run at 1080p, I get more bluriness which also interfers with reading small text, especially against a low-contrast background. So I compromise at 1440p (2560x1440) -- but it is a compromise with effects from the higher and lower resolutions -- still making text hard to read. I try to run with UI at 100%, as that seems to be the most clear. However, what I'd really like to see is ability to use high res (3840x2160), but with ability to set the UI to values > 100%. It's easier to retain clarity and sharpness for smaller amounts of magnification ( increases of 120, 125, 133, 150%) when done by software). Right now, you can decrease magnification (values <100%) or go w/fixed size (100%). I'd like to see the option to use the UI% value to magnify the UI -- so I'd still get sharp images using the native resolution of my monitor, but could also get the UI text magnified (which ends up really tiny on a higher res display). Can't show a picture, really, since text and images you see, are also automatically scaled by one's display card and monitor, which will obscure effects of BnS UI and res settings. I don't know, but it seems just allowing the res slider to achieve values >100 might be a simple/cheap/easy first step. It might not be perfect, but likely better than trying to read 4pt txt! Thanks! Hopefully this is the right place for game suggestions
