Snatchyy

I'm not sure how to approach this subject but i would like to know as I'm looking forward to actively playing again. I've already started a little over a few weeks ago when soul boost v2 was announced and don't want to burn myself out like i previously done during the first soul boost event. (we all know how fun those /21 achievements were per character xD) A few simple questions for this thread really is, 1. How many active players are there currently? (Some people play only one character throughout their account on bns, while other individuals have 10+ characters but really is only one person technically) 2. Are there more active players online now for soulboost v2 vs. soulboost v1? 3. What reason do you have for wanting to continue playing? (I'm not here to bash anyone, just curious. I myself enjoy getting limited time cosmetics that appeal to me) 4. Is there a current way to view the game population? I noticed there is sometimes 1-3 max channels for most areas and F8-Lobby doesn't look active lately. What are your thoughts?

My character has previously claimed the double bracelet from soulboost, i log in today to see the rewards are now displayed corrected but my archer did not* receive an awakened uzime ring box in my mail. I tried to open the double bracelet on my gunner too to see if it would be updated or what not, nope.

Before addressing a few issues i just want to say thank you for the release of another soul boost event, it really helps and makes playing the game a better experience. Regarding the matter of this thread i just want to announce a few bugs i've encountered so it can be resolved early on, hopefully. At Soulboost levels 13 & 15, we are given 'Awakened Wild Spirit Bracelet', a duplicate of the same item, possibly a bug since there are no rings but double bracelets. Another are the Unity Ascension stone chests (stellar,earthen, life) that in the text says, 'contains legendary radiance stones'. Now i'm not sure if it's intended or not, but when opening the unity ascension stone chest on my gunner, i was given a transcended for an astro and unable to open the other two types as i was given an invalid item system message. Another issue i viewed was previewing the guaranteed evolution stones for soul and pet aura's (thunderflux soul / starborn pet aura stones). It was at 'Awakened stage' for both and when using a stone for gauranteed evolution, you get a chance to aquire 'random reward'. In the tooltip it shows you can upgrade awakened thunderflux stage 2 into a Unleashed starborn pet aura or awakened starborn pet aura stage 1.

I took a break from the game ever since hongmoon coins were taken away from rankings on demonsbane. The amount you get after i saw the change is so unwelcome it actually cause me to quit playing entirely. Just thought i drop by and see what people's opinions are on the current state of the game. I still have a friend who plays occasionally and hear that people run Poharan with cheats like they're entitled to it. Example; Start Poharan dungeon and the red dragon portal automatically spawns. This is clearly againsts ToS but will there be any action taken to people who abuse it? I only recently logged in a week ago because i heard about the remaining premium transformation boxes from support, and also was suprised to see my trove adornment get a cool glow when i got it from trove (the bunny one). Are GM's or staff even aware about these cheaters who can create/spawn red portals to automatically gain access to the end boss of a dungeon as soon as A dungeon begins? Furthermore, Soulboost was a nice addition to the game-it caused me to play multiple characters and have fun. However that took a quick U turn as soon as demonsbane HM coins were taken from majority of players due to the unwelcome changes that were made a few months ago. In the End, i don't think i will come back to the game like i used to play it daily. Sure maintenance patches can have bugs, but at this point i'm not even concerned about that. What was most upsetting was to encourage players to play multiple characters, participate in demonsbane, then have ranking rewards become meaningless. Also for the battle pass, How is it even fair when Free to play vs BP get 0 to 30k gold from the rewards. I took a quick glance and saw the bunch of x5 1000 gold bundles in BP. IDK maybe others may view it different but its just insane, even with premium it still takes a while to get. Just my opinion though, hope others enjoy this game even though i may not anymore ..

bro, you can have shadowfury on your main and be in 40s ranking which before was good enough for x3 brilliant venture tokens, now your main will only get x2 regular venture tokens. Literally no reason to spend money on this game when they put 'new changes' like this.

Some feed back regarding change on gold / hmc for march 16 patch news, First off i enjoyed running the newer content 'demonsbane dungeons'. I spent a good amount of time learning the dungeon and participated in soulboost on multiple alts just to run the higher floors, yes it took a bit of time to unlock the floors even but that's fine, rng is fine-i dealt with it. But now this just seems a bit ridiculous to remove regular venture tokens from top 500. Now NC is changing it so we get only 2 regular venture tokens for being top 100? Whats the point now? I cleared stage 41 on a weekly basis with my main just fine. I was on average rank 40s, good enough for x3 Brilliant venture tokens. Now i will only get 2 regular venture tokens because of this change? While we're here, i also spent premium just to get twice the amount of hmc from venture tokens (premium perk). To me, it was worth subscribing for, now after seeing this change i will never again unless it gets fixed to a reasonable amount. It's worth noting because this isn't the case for the more popular classes ranking, like BM , gunner etc. You can clear 41 and wont hit top 100 so you cant get any hmc now(after change). We even lost a full week of tokens ranking. To me it seems really negative to hurt the community like this because it really helped having the additional help / hmc. It's a monthly reward, not even weekly so it's even worse. (HMC) Furthermore, how can these dev's justify the ranking when the gold amount from rank 1 to top 100 is so unbalanced? You need so much gold to upgrade skystealer accessories, but NC thinks it's a good idea to give gold to top player (when they dont need it), instead of distributing it to a wider audience, like top 100-500? It would make a difference and maybe players would actually stick to the game because the time invested is slightly better. To me, it don't make any sense, a season top player = 3k gold, weekly 1.5k, but for top 100 you only get 100 gold per season, and 50gold weekly. I'm very sure if 3k/1.5k was distributed by ranking to top 100-500 etc, NC would see more players actively play the game and possibly more subscribers. Hell, it could be half of that gold even, and it would still MAKE A DIFFERENCE, but hey. That's only my opinion, i've been actively playing this game the way i enjoy but now it's just more disappointing than anything really.

Feels bad, i was at 195 demonsbane tokens and now i got to wait two more weeks 😕 Any chance we can expect some sort of compensation for missing out on one weeks demonsbane ranking? Just thought i would ask, no hurt in trying XD. Also ty a bunch for last weeks prosperity f10 bundles, makes it worth logging in for!

We recently just got these boxes added to f10 (today on the 23rd), how come it says from feb 7 to march 9th? Wouldn't it be appropiate to have these for a month duration? what do you think

When looking at the dragon express there are two types of the starstruck boxes, 'stunning' and 'sparkling' variants. Would you happen to have info on which one we get and price per box?

Just want to pop in and say thank you greenstorm & NCstaff for the f10 evolution stone fix/compensation. Now i have motivation to play my alts ❤️

If the text on the 7-day premium is wrong, then when do we get it? ETA? It was from the recent 6th anniversary..

Majority of us players wants to know as someone who already completed soul boost, (which means we claimed rewards previously and before todays maintenance) why are we left out and not given the missing Champion's Heart Evolution Stones x2 and Everwill Evolution Stones x2? All my alts have claimed previously so adding the remaining to Levels 30 and 34 is only good for newly created characters. Also how come you left out champion heart evolution stones?? I've mentioned this a month ago. Are we gonna have to sit on unclaimed rewards for another month until champion heart stones get this same treatment?? This is crazy and unprofessional. I understand you're only one person and this isn't your fault but what are we players really supposed to do? @Green Storm I've already asked support about this and awaiting their response, hopefully me and many others can get the remaining soulboost stones without having to use restoration tokens that is not our fault.

The most simple fix would be f10 0hmc bundle for x2 Everwill evolution stones and x2 champion evolution stones. I already completed/received the rewards from soulboost and now theres the missing 'additional rewards'. Hopefully people who completed are eligible to get the missing rewards sent in mail, hope all goes well.

A few questions in mind, what can we expect this coming week or whenever. A few bugs are still here but are they mentioned, being worked on or ETA on fix? (event limitless wings are broken and displays under feet) Is there an expected fix for Everwill evolution stones distribution? It's been a while so i thought to ask since we only get 7/9, same issue with champion evolution stones. Also, regarding the 6th anniversary coins exchange for 7-day premium membership, it says maintenance on feb 17th, a thursday? So will there be another maintenance? o.o

Also with soulboost event, we only get 7 champion stones. Now they're removing vials, it will be so much more now to get true champion from soulboost.

This is a major unmentioned change that was thrown at the community without any feedback. First off WHY are you gonna remove vials from hearts tiers? Unless sterling scale gets a better RATIO, it's gonna be way harder for playerbase to gear up. Currently 1:1 ratio when the scale inflated cost is around 4k gold, can we expect buffed droprates on those scales from demonsbane? Literally gonna ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ off the majority of players and Lost Ark is right around the corner Lmao.

Any compensation for not being able to access Den for almost a month now? It's part of soulboost, either remove it from soulboost or compensate. Your team already put up news for another '2' events, and new solo dungeon but what about fixing the current one needed to progress the soulboost?? @Green Storm

Yeah... I don't expect NCsoft to even fix the soulboost rewards we were 'supposed' to have. There is literally no communication between the team and players and asking support when it's been 3 weeks isn't exactly a step forward. Like I'm still waiting on them to fix Everwill evolution stones, used all 7 -stuck at awakened brightwill 2 when it supposed to be true brightwill. Literally never spend money/subscribe on this game until they deserve it back.

Honestly i wouldnt want to waste restoration tokens on an issue that NC created themselves.

It doesnt matter what KR or other region gets, it matters what OUR* region gets. Before the 1/27's maintenance you only needed 7 stones because yeah 2 of the stages skipped but after maintenance that stage skip x2 was altered so now we need 9 total instead of the 7 soul boost stones. They (NCsoft) need to give every character the x2 Everwill Evolution stones because now we got screwed out of it. It literally makes no sense to why theres 7 when we get 9 for omega and 9 for talisman. Im sure the x7 champion heart stones will be just as bugged. But yeah the situation got really scuffed and hopefully admins can fix it soon. @Rynara @Green Storm

We only get 7 Everwill evolution stones. After 1/27's maintenance after using all 7 from true tiger-you now only get up to awakened brightwill stage 2. We need compensation for the extra 2 stones that are currently impossible to get with the soulboost only giving 7/9 that we need. Please fix this ASAP? @Hime @Green Storm

Just submitted a ticket, waiting for reply but i recommend to everyone not to upgrade true tiger after 1/27's maintenance. We only get 7 Everwill Evolution stones from this event to upgrade the soul. I've tried on my alt and from True tiger you now only upgrade up to awakened brightwill 2 using all 7 stones. If you don't want to wait, buy 10 oils/use10 vials from true tiger then 7 stones because honestly i don't know when anything is going to get fixed in this game anymore 😞

Are these incorrect rewards from Tb9->Silversteel? I'm assuming we got to buy the PTS + Empyreans but i thought we would get it from soul boost as stated from the original post? @Hime Im not sure what to do. We only get 1 Empyrean and 3 PTS from the entire soulboost. We need 3 PTS for silversteel ring, another 3 for earring, another 3 for TB9->Silversteel, and another 5 PTS to make the enchantment stones for +2/+3.....

After 1/28's maintenance, True tiger ->Brightwill stage 1 works now, okay great. We only get 7 Everwill Evolution stones from the Soul Boost Event in TOTAL. This is supposed to be Total of 9 stones, so were are MISSING TWO everwill evolution stones from this soulboost event. True Tiger ->Brightwill stage 1 = 1 stone ->Brightwill stage 2 = +1stone ->Brightwill stage 3 = +1stone ->Brightwill stage 4 = +1stone ->Brightwill stage 5 = +1stone ->Awakened Brightwill stage 1 = +1 stone ->Awakened Brightwill stage 2 = +1 stone ->Awakened Brightwill stage 3 = +1 stone ->True Brightwill = +1 stone? We also only get 7x Champion's Heart Evolution stones, i havent got to that point yet but i would imagine it would be the same after todays maintenance. I don't know how to proceed with this game anymore unfortunately. If we are only given 7 we cant expect to get True Brightwill etc when missing 2 stones. @Hime are you aware of this issue? Before todays maintenance we only needed 7 because it skipped from stage 5 to awaken 2, and then awakened 2 to true brightwill. Now we are stuck missing two stones.

Furthermore, just rechecked. We are missing Soul boost materials from TB9->Silversteel 3 breakthrough, still cost regular gold, no spot for 'Snowspire Weapon Evolution Stone'. It uses PTS, but we are given PTCrystals.
