It can be an indicator of gear though, since many things do increase it. You expect better performance with higher AP, and for the most part it is true.

The thing with people that swipe, honestly...is most of them suck. I've been in parties with incredibly powerful whales...and yet I've been able to keep up with them in damage output. My main is a Lightning BD, I sustain about 10-11m DPS at 2.7k AP. Was in a party with a BM, 3.2k AP...and he could only sustain 15m. While he was outdoing me, I've seen weaker BMs do waaaaaaay more. In comparison to the power differences, if we had equal AP I probably would have surpassed his damage. Just because you swipe doesn't make you a god. Those that swipe tend to learn the game slower, which is a key factor to it all. Playing the game, even with its grind is a far better teacher in my opinion then relying on a credit card.

You have no grounds for a lawsuit and risk your account by calling for one. They can refuse to provide service to someone threatening legal action.

They have never compensated EU and never will.

It's well known that NCWest has absolutely zero authority to do anything...not that they know much about the game in the first place. The streams prove that much.

I've never seen any indications that they've done this and it certainly would have come up in Alice KR Discord if it had.

Yes? Like why would they make it so you could ever have 13 of the soon to be 14 classes?

I wouldn't go that cheap...I'd target a budget around 500 to 700 USD currently. Get a Ryzen 5 5600G, 16GB of decent (DDR4-3200 to 3600) RAM, a m.2 SSD (Wester Digital Blue is about middle of the pack performance wise)...and see if you can't find a mobo that supports BIOS updates without a CPU. I imagine any new ones would have a proper BIOS for 5000 series Ryzen out of the factory, but it never hurts to pay a little more for a lot more peace of mind. I know some people will be upset at built into the CPU graphics, but it sounds like Vega 11 ain't terrible. Just not great.

We will have to agree to disagree on this matter. I do agree the gem situation is absolute garbage though, and has been for a long time...even with really good bundles that come up it probably would cost about 50-60 bucks for a maxed gem...and that's not counting Dyads. Unity isn't as bound to those constraints and the opinion of many I've spoken with is Unity cash shop bundles kinda suck anyways and is a hilarious whale trap. Most of what you are describing is end game tier stuff, though...when you're at a point where there are few other upgrades and you need to consider things like that to push further. Also I didn't say it WASN'T pay to win, I said it was not all that strong. Also if you quit, I'm curious why you are still here, part of a community for a game you no longer play? It damages your stance when you don't have up to date info on matters in game.

My main is nearly 100% free to play. Most of the time if I toss money at the game its for a outfit, and not personal power...and yet I have SS9, Silversteel accessories and soul shields, and generally have a fair amount of power. I'm still not on par with whales, but sometimes I outperform them because they bought power and never learned how to actually play. The P2W isn't that strong in BNS folks.

You probably can, but there is evidence Xigncode is back. I'm not sure if it'll flag it as 'cheating software'.

I wish they'd give them out early too, but odds are we'll see them at the standard time: tuesday.

That might not be needed: any computer made in the last 5 years should get an acceptable experience, or perhaps even better then acceptable.

Minimum specs are not the lowest you can get the game working on: it is the lowest specs NCSoft personally tried during testing that got the game running. Keep in mind those specs are from 2014 to 2015 or so: if you got a PC older then that, it's not NCSoft's problem. Stop spreading false and misleading info...and poorly spelling your info at that. It's 'Ryzen', and there is no such thing as a GTX 3000. You undermine your clearly anti-BNS position with such statements...please just quit if you're not having fun and leave the rest of us alone.

Probably. This company is a joke.

Some of us cannot magically reschedule things and not one but two stream delays without much warning are starting to make many players question if NCSoft even cares. We need to know what we're getting now, not in 5 days.

UE5 isn't even out of BETA yet. Why even ask this as a question? It's literally like asking them to stop their current efforts with UE4 to use something that isn't even complete yet.

It might not be difficulty but rather they just don't want to do it.

Probably a typo, since NCWest can only post what NCSoft in KR tells them to, including typos and errors.

In that case, still didn't have this issue. I save up enough currency to keep getting vials and packs every event and I spent the last of my Moonlit Coins before the update. Nothing is locked for purchase for me.

I'm not having the problem outlined in this thread at all. I purchased my Sacred Vials and Pet Packs from the prior event using Enchanted Tickets and the new ones for Hongmoon Resurgence Tokens are not locked out.

They've...always been? They've always had a limit of 2/week for almost every event in the last year I've been playing. This limit is not linked to the other two you can get via Honing Oils, so I'm not sure what issue you are having exactly.

Agreed! I loved events that let you get multiple Emperor's Outfit Boxes, I completed so many outfit collections on my characters with those...none of the outfits really entice me in the Resurgence Box, though, or I already have them...

It has never been said in any way, shape, or form that UE4 is coming on August 11th. This patch is absolutely only to prepare for it (likely on September 8th).

Every stream I've watched has had about 2,000 viewers, and there are indications there are at least that many active players daily for BNS. If it had less then a thousand, NCSoft would have shut it down ages ago. Not justifying the stream rewards, most of them are kinda not great...but keep in mind Hime has ZERO SAY whatsoever what rewards are provided on stream, or any content whatsoever. They're a Community Manager, not a coder...not that it would matter as NCSoft dictates what features and content are added or removed from the game, and NCWest has zero say in any capacity. This is why suggestions are meaningless as none of them will make it into the game. You can complain all you'd like about it, but at the end of the day, you're complaining to the wrong people and the right people don't speak English. I will object to your claims that UE4 won't solve lag and performance issues: we've seen countless streams from KR that indicate performance and lag are greatly reduced on hardware made in the last five years or so. It's not perfect but much better then before. Also the game is pretty popular in KR and since we always get updates from KR eventually, it's not really the people in NA and EU working on it (other then translation/voice acting maybe???), but the KR devs simply passing the patches along. Also I dunno why they won't ban cheaters, honestly. I stopped bothering to report them ages ago because nothing was done. I agree with a lot of your post, just certain facets of it I don't.
